ROOM OF SWORDS FASTPASS TUMBLR HOW ARE

WE FEELING TONIGHT???????

Every Sunday I go just absolutely insane

One thing I’ve been noticing as the series progresses is how much Masiosare and Don complement each other as antagonists?

Ok so when we first see Don he’s the calm, kind, and collected leader of the Room of Swords. He’s the forgiving one. The only one who seems to be reasonable and open to Gyrus even after what he’s done. He serves as a contrast between the seemingly edgy and cruel Black Box Gyrus.

However, as the series progresses, we slowly start to realize that BB!Gyrus is the reasonable one,,, and Don was the cold blooded and heartless murderer. As BB!Gyrus officially redeems himself in the hearts of the fandom and his reset self, Don’s actions have damned him. This ultimately comes to a head as Don reveals himself as the cockroach king and Gyrus competes the black box.

Coincidentally, just as we grow to like BB!Gyrus, a new version of Gyrus appears! And he’s *actually* evil this time! (Or is he?)

Our new strange enemy puts himself and his villainy up there with Don as he forcibly takes over Gyrus’ body and slaughters those who stand in his path. He presents himself as a ruthless man, singleminded and driven to the point that he is willing to even use the shadows to permanently slaughter members of the Room of Swords, keeping them from the escape that is so tantalizingly close.

But as season 3 progresses, we see that Masiosare *is* willing to protect and help people, even if it is just the person who could potentially become him someday. On top of that, just as we learned about BB!Gyrus last season, the people Masiosare killed aren’t actually dead. In fact, they’re actually less dead than the people BB!Gyrus killed since they came back as people instead of shadows.

After seeing this, Masiosare’s actions in the S2 finale arc actually make a bit more sense. Although he’s lost the ability to love and hope from when he was just Gyrus, he still isn’t just going to erase valuable pawns members of the Room of Swords from existence. He’s simply temporarily removing the problem/annoyance he is facing from the equation so he can focus on fighting Don.

This marks the second edgy, homicidal version of Gyrus we’ve met and hated that has, over time, shown that their actions aren’t without some sort of reason. A sort of reason born from prolonged exposure to the Room of Swords and its lack of a permanent death, but still a form of reason.

This brings me to my point of how Don and Masiosare complement each other. Where Don began as seemingly kind and sane, he slowly revealed himself to be a manipulative, self-centered, wannabe god. Meanwhile the Masiosare of s2 was a man who seemed cruel and selfish, with a god-complex a mile wide, but as season 3 progressed it shone a new light on his actions.

Some siren doodles of these two <3

Give this man just a bunch of animals.

Kodya karevic with a frog kodya karevic with an elephant I want to see this man tame a blue whale instead of learning to swim

kodya karevic gently holding a very small kitten. you agree, you reblog

Don SUS?!?!?

can we like, bring BlackBox!Gyrus back

for no reason in particular by the way i just wanna see him again

First day of finals! Please kill me

Kodya out here assuming that Iro is a homophobe in this timeline too but it turns out that Iro is just neck deep in a sexuality crisis

the parallels are, unfortunately, very present 💔

bonus:

Just taking a moment to appreciate Anan this chapter

When you think you know wtf is going on and then

Diversity win! Bouldya confirmed canon

ignoring that nephthys has healing powers I think it could be very funny to explore the different relationships the ros cast would have with being sick/injured. Tori gets stabbed and Gyrus freaks out saying she’s gotta disinfect it and she’s just wrapping it up with random cloth like “I have to what. It’s fine.” Conversely Gyrus gets food poisoning or smth and is ejecting all contents of his body but is extremely casual about it meanwhile Kodya gets a mild fever and starts drafting his will

I appreciate how you kept the classic strawberry bang but made it work! Like so much???

I finished the design for Prince Gyrus! (Aka ros if don decided not to get revenge on a literal infant)

I based the design of both BB!Gyrus (to give it the classic emo Gyrus flair) and the canon toddler prince Gyrus design. This was really fun to create today :D

Forgot to mention this

So ummmm what the fuck is up with Masiosare?

(No fastpass spoilers, just a long post)

Exhibit A:

The contracts with him are dissolved, implying that he has been killed/erased from existence, because a corpse is incapable of fulfilling contacts etc

Exhibit B:

Gyrus says he doesn’t want to become Masiosare. Gyrus is the past version of Masiosare, and he is devoted to not having that same future. Now, there’s always still a chance that he won’t have a choice but the contracts’ disappearance implies that it won’t happen.

Now, the “fun” part:

Exhibit C:

Masiosare reappears as a shadow within Gyrus, and has lost his ability to control the shadows. However, he is somehow capable of recreating Gyrus’ arm from scratch.

Finally,

Exhibit D:

Masiosare once again reappears, but in his own body. I think that this is the first time in the series’ present that he has appeared in his own body instead of as a shadow or possessing Gyrus.

So either the timelines split and Masiosare is crossing over from an alternate universe, Gyrus really does become Masiosare in the future, or there’s even more fuckery in the RoS universe we haven’t even noticed yet.

A rare photo of Kodya smiling. I wonder what’s about to go wrong and remove it.

Room of Swords? More like “3 seasons where Kodya is just the most miserable person in this damn prison”

I gotta say that seeing the ROS fandom hate on Iro tonight has been very satisfying to see <3

Glad we can all come together and agree that Iro needs to shut up for two minutes or forever 💕

Gyrus, are you seriously going to let your messiah complex do any more damage to your and Kodya’s relationship? Look at this man! You’ve traumatized him!

Here’s my discussion with @snazzyscarf if that helps to explain at all lol

to go a little deeper into this, it feels like the art has changes with every episode that gets closer to shadow hour. ESPECIALLY the last panel of 190, where Don just looks like he’s drawn in a horror comic style instead

”Gyrus gave me gender envy and that led to my realization“

HOLY SHIT ME TOO

Today's takeaway from this here Room of Swords Sunday:

Gyrus is a fucking dumbass and I love him. My Yrus buddy. Did y'all know my name was partially inspired by his? Was thinking of what i wanted people to call me after my trans realization and i'm like "Well I always liked Gyrus' name and he's a fellow queer man tit enjoyer...hmmm..." Actually Gyrus gave me gender envy and that led to my realization. Fuck ok thanks room of swords for that.
