Something Quite Curious And That Goes Very Unnoticed Is The Fact That Kikimora Manipulated Boscha Because

Something quite curious and that goes very unnoticed is the fact that Kikimora manipulated Boscha because in some way she is reflected in her but by doing that, Kikimora makes Boscha become more toxic, she is hurting Boscha, and therefore, she is hurting the younger version of herself.

It's no coincidence that Kikimora manipulates Boscha because in a certain sense Kikimora IS Boscha: both are terrified that others see them vulnerable and they end up mistreating others as a way to hide their vulnerability so as not to be hurt by anyone and both also have the tendency to idealize to the extreme a person they love, admire or respect (Belos for Kikimora and Amity for Boscha) but they get angry with them for not fitting in with the idealized versions they had and even when they see them again before getting angry with them for not being what they thought, Kikimora and Boscha ask Belos and Amity to give them a chance to prove themselves. The difference is that Boscha realizes her flaws and tries to improve as a person while Kikimora becomes more toxic to the point that she hurts others without realizing that she is hurting herself and isolating herself from any positive relationship with others.

Kikimora is what Boscha would have been if she didn't realize her tendency to hide her vulnerability through mistreatment of others and her tendency to idealize others are quite toxic to herself and others.

I think I'm not the only one who noticed this:

Seeing the copies of these characters is a reflection of their identity problems because basically if you saw them without knowing them you wouldn't know which one is the real one.

Lately I haven't stopped thinking that the conflict between Ruby and Neo works as some kind of foreshadowing or sample of what could happen with Salem.

Salem and Neo grew up in a controlling and dysfunctional family to the point where they wanted freedom above all else and met someone (Ozma and Roman) who gave them the freedom they craved.

Salem, like Neo, is angry about the death of a loved one (Neo for Roman's death and Salem for Ozma's death) and they blame others for their respective deaths (Neo blames Ruby in the same way that Salem blamed to the gods) and just as Neo vents her anger and pain by lashing out at everyone in Ever After without caring for her own physical or emotional well-being, Salem ended up lashing out at everyone (causing chaos and destruction throughout Remnant) not caring if it ends up destroyed her (she tried to commit suicide without success and waits for the gods to destroy everything in the hope that she can die). They also both don't care if they hurt others by being so caught up in their own pain that they consider the pain of others irrelevant.

Ever After and the whole situation with Ruby and Neo is like the conflict that the protagonists have with Salem but on a smaller scale, so this scenario could work as a kind of preparation for the protagonists when they finally face Salem because she cannot be destroyed but it can be stopped through empathy and communication, both on the part of the protagonists and on the part of Salem herself.

Not to mention that I made a post where I mention how Luffy and Collector are similar, except that Luffy has mental and emotional maturity and Collector doesn't.

It would be quite interesting if Dana based on Luffy (and especially his Gear 5th form) to create Collector or just she at least knew about Luffy and his Gear 5th form.

This is so true that after King frees Collector and he uses his magic, everyone gathered for the Day of Unity started screaming in terror and Collector thought they were singing.

Obsessed with this video because it implies the Collector doesn’t realize screams necessarily entail suffering and distress... They might not have even realized/considered the draining spell would kill people? Did Belos lie about the details and gaslight this kid into thinking signs of trauma were people expressing themselves happily, all to manipulate this kid into going along with his plans?!

The Collector possibly sees the term ‘nephew’ as a threat due to how they associate it with the fates of each Grimwalker, but man... Food for thought. I gotta ask King about this, what he figured out, if I could. Makes the Collector even more tragic and potentially furthers the theme of neurodivergence and misunderstanding, with the Collector not knowing the nuances of how people communicate and vice-versa.
