Kotetsu On The Whiteboard

kotetsu on the whiteboard

i like thinking im funny

Context: beginning of the 7-year gap; the day before miles leaves for germany, phoenix goes to say farewell, and they finally confess their feelings for each other. a delicate moment for phoenix, just before things go awry and become even more delicate lol. what this moment means for his relationship with miles is a bittersweet feeling, the relief of years of pining vs. the uncertainty of their future together as their lives go separate ways once again.

I wrote all of this context down and it's more developed than this small summary, so I might draw it someday too lol. For now have this snippet that I've cooked up entirely in my brain and for my own enjoyment!!

I love nick and maya's sibling relationship, talking to each other like two silly teens that have to share all the gossip they get their hands on. And I also love that miles and maya would bond over steel samurai and only talk about that for hours on the phone. they're so ♾️

Enoch Drebber's Machinery Puns: A List

Because I was immediately charmed by them, and want to see how many he actually drops throughout the case. Almost all of his lines have colored text emphasis somewhere (a quirk which I love) but I'm not replicating that here, instead I'm bolding the puns/references.

Sadly, he did this progressively less throughout the case, but there's still a good few!

"You're all gearing up to die with me, then?"

"You've found me, haven't you? No need to screw me down any further."

"What fails to click with me..."

"When I heard whistling from the other room, I knew it was time to bolt."

"Clearly I must have a screw loose, though, as I couldn't remember the combination for the safe."

"Well...I had no intention of being nailed by the police."

"They wield so-called 'special powers' in an attempt to grind down our freedoms."

"I just wasn't expecting uninvited guests to come along and screw up my plans."

"But your seemingly endless discourse in here threw a spanner in the works."

"...hard to pin down, I would say."

"...But that has no bearing on this trial, I assure you. Cleave it from your mind."

"If a hypothesis is sound, it can always be forged into a physical manifestation...with sufficient skill."

"Hard to gauge. But the point is, all I did was construct the machine according to the blueprints I was given."

"But there was one important provision bolted onto that clause."

"I came here to testify about the machine I built, and instead my reputation is defiled."

"Of course. You'd have to have a screw loose if you believed a corpse could come back from the dead."

"Obviously, as time ticked on, I bitterly regretted what I'd done."

"Surely you only need to look at the graveyard scene and my appearance to gauge the answer to that?"

"We students were caught between the hammer and the anvil. We needed funds for research."

"After all...resurrection is impossible, isn't it? You'd have to be unhinged to think otherwise."

"The point is, that night was a pivotal moment in my life."

"The university's reputation was execrably defiled, and I was expelled as a result."

"I can only assume it was an embellishment bolted on later by the reporter."

"Personally, I wasn't one of those geniuses. So it was hardly a wrench."

"Why on earth would you buckle now?"
