Were the kos so ruined by the loss of... well for lack of a better term, home, that they neglected to notice that their parent-type was cut open?
IF that's what's going down, KILL IT WITH FIRE.
Literally, they sound like their DYING! DYING Yukkuri say things like how they wanted more easy or that they can't take it easy. They deserve it methinks...
... either that or I just can't help but be cruel to stupid little kos. >:D
That's the gist I got as well, and it's to be expected from their undeveloped and dumb nature... but that doesn't make it any less annoying. Those stupid, bite sized naive koyukkuris are the diabetes (10x so with an illustration, multiply again for kiri)... the death is the medication.
Yeah but considering how big and notorious their parents would be to the koyukkuris, i doubt that freezing would be enough justification for them to ignore them.
In fact, wouldn't had been "better" to some degree to at least try to get warm from their parent with rub-rub and such? not like i expect it to work, but it may had made a lot of sense if they tried to find support and protection from their parents, even in their present situation.
Maybe if they hadn't focused so much on the stomped bed =/
For some reason everytime I see a kiriraitaa Reimu i just want to abuse it...from light teasing to ripping it in two with two fingers after sticking them in its mouth...
Matt I had read that story as well, and they were able to move a bit, painfully, but they were, the crawling they did to the bed, could had been done to reach their parent that wasn't that far away.
It kinda made me wonder since usually koyukkuris search for their parents in this kind of moments, so it felt a bit weird when i read it the whole "Bunching up and ignoring the parent" freezing or not.
They were freezing to death. When taken out of a warm place and put into a place cold enough to kill you, you don't worry about something you might not even see.
Also, the story doesn't mention them moving at all Just being dropped out of bed into lethal cold, which killed them in very little time, and trying to bring back their warmth.
@Matt The story do mention them crawling a bit back to the bed out of wanting "the warmth it gave" back, they could crawl but not jump, which kinda made things worse.
@bebopfan 1st of all Kiri's style isn't about the yukkuris being innocent and nice, it's about being "cute" in "Taste like Diabetes" way, basically he loves to moeblob them, yet that isn't necessarily about making them nice or innocent, as much, cute looking, bothersome and naive.
2nd my whole point wasn't about them being shitheads or anything, that was Quantum's thing, i just thought it was weird that, since they could crawl back to the stomped bed (both in the comic and in the fanfic), why didn't they try to find comfort with their parents? it was kinda weird, since koyukkuris usually do that.
I mainly found it weird.
And bebop fan the whole "more innocent = more joy to see them suffer" is subjective, i prefere them to be the opposite "the more shithead they are = more joy to se them suffer", but as many know, that's my cup of tea, and it doesn't have to do with this story that if anything, it's neutral, not true abuse or true justice abuse.
I went and looked. It says: 'Not just that, but the newly born little koyukkuris can't hop, they can only crawl. And on top of this, the frozen foot of the little koyukkuris can do nothing other than shake.'
They are normally only able to crawl and, while in the snow, unable to do more than shake and rub against each other.
Add on to the fact that they remembered how warm the bed was and how cold they are now, they instinctively went to the bed to try and warm up. Or something like that
Not only here but in the fic as well, that's what bothers me, it's kinda weird that, from all the places to use their last strenght to reach, they picked the stomped bed instead of their notorious parents. It could had let them die more peacefully at least, than freezing and bunching up in a stomped bed.
From what I gather, the bed was stomped just a small way away from them. They probably thought it was still warm, and were trying to reach it with the last of their strength so they could live.
Dunno Bebop, if he actually made shitheads without changing his desing style it would be, at least, an interesting experiment, since it seems nobody ever considered making ultra cute to moeblob yukkuris being shitheads.
Oh, jeez, I'm relatively impervious to yubuse, but this made me sad.
I think it's the slow, melodramatic staging of the panels, and the fact that the dying babies remain cute (as opposed to being grotesquely distorted or misshapen in death).
Fore me, they're so adorable that you feel like bullying them and feel this twisted sense of pleasure. For Kimoaki's style whenever I see his Marisa suffer, I just want to pick it up and comfort it...
Yukkuri...expressing different responses from the same guy =D
