You know, I really want to write a ship manifesto for tl;dr and discussion, but everything I really like these days is actually canon. :( Maybe I should write one for someone else's otp to practice my argument skills. Any requests~?

WITCHES DON'T EXIST BECAUSE LADD KILLED THEM ALL
what the fuck was this manga and why did the artist Dengeki Bunko commissioned think it was a good idea to make Ladd Russo look like Battler Ushiromiya.
I will admit the fangirl in me had an internal Renge moment in the last ten pages of the chapter during a scene they added after "Oh, I couldn't kill you, uncle! It's not even loaded~", before Ladd's gang gets on the train to murderville.
Ladd: /preening hey Lua I look awesome in this white suit right
Lua: it doesn't suit you.
Ladd: wait what ._.
Lua: /fixing his tie and lapels why didn't you kill him?
Ladd: oh you're talking about me being merciful ahaha, I thought you were talking about the outfit
---
Placido: /raging
Ladd: /comes out of nowhere, shoots like three guys
Placido: oh fuck
Ladd: /aims, the trigger clicks like four times while Placido is ~shaking and crying~ ... "let's starve a little more before the feast!"
Lua: you're mean.
Ladd: u mad bby
Lua: |D
It was sick but it was too adorable to function. then again everything they do is what Neb calls "a family dinner with cannibals": ridiculously cute if you don't see the fucked up context (in their case, the gurotastic folie a deux and his reasons for jumping off the train to rescue her).
