I like to think that the Earl was simply holding out on purpose. Taking hold of Mana’s body to inflict harm onto others. Only now has it gotten that bad. The Earl uses this to torment them and hurting them any way he could. Nea taking an unexpected blow to the head leaving Mana to witness the aftermath of what he did.
It was never easy. Just cruel and painful for both of them.
“I’m more worried about Mana than anything…”
I’m not a writer by any means, but being too weak to sit up and draw anything, I took a long ass time exploring this idea and how it affected Mana, Cross, and Pasta individually.
Mana’s guilt
Pasta’s anger
Cross being the one to have to hold them together as everything keeps falling apart around him. He had to almost hide the fact that Pasta was absolutely furious with Mana over what happened. Constantly in a position where he can’t help Mana, but only watch him fall apart. He loved Mana way too much for this.
Nea too feeling the polarizing reactions to his injury. He knew very well that it was never really about him in the end. The injury itself healed fast enough, but the emotional damage may not ever heal.
It all just poses as a precursor to when Mana actually kills and devours Nea.
That’s the overall idea anyway….

Okay, I’ve been holding off a lot, but here’s the answers to significant questions I’ve gotten on my survey for this pendant!I’m sorry for being so slow, I’m a full-time uni student and having to commute a lot during the holidays for family.
I will edit this post if any new questions come up~
Feel free to send me an Ask if you have any other questions~
[Q&A below the cut]
First and foremost, questions that are likely to come up but haven’t yet:
Where am I selling?
- Based on survey results, Etsy. It makes the most sense, and I have someone to help me get started~
How much will it cost?
- Unsure, about 10usd to start…? but shipping internationally is looking to be about 10usd, and I am going to try to cover domestic shipping. And of course variations such as a necklace vs a keychain will affect the price of it as well… (Quite honestly this is where I’m the most stumped.)
Survey questions:
Would it be possible to buy a necklace with just the song and not the names? I’d be interested in something like that, maybe with the song on both sides.
Would it be possible to just have the partition side?
Consider customizable text? I’d personally like it to display “A.W.” or “DGM” !
- I do the engravings one side at a time! So I can do the melody on both sides, just the one with a blank back, or custom text! I will provide options for this on my listing.
Do you plan on making others design? (The Order’s cross/Timcanpy/a random Golem/The Noah’s crest/etc… For example)
- Actually, yes! I have already been experimenting with other designs and themes. I made an entirely self-indulgent Cross Marian themed keychain lol. However, I would like to start with just this pendant, as I’ve never sold merch before. I hope to provide more options in the future.
Would you do custom/special requested pendants (like a commission of sorts)?
- I would like to do this later down the line! But I’m still new enough to this process where I’m unsure how to accurately gauge how much I would do custom engravings. Since there are chances where I have to create and modify the render myself. I already made and formatted Nea’s melody so that it’s relatively easy to make. The rendering can take 20 minutes or 2 hours. So I am not about to take up anything more ambitious yet. Baby steps.
i think this is really neat! cool dgm merch like this is few and far between so i hope you get enough responses!!
Thank you so much for creating this i nearly cried seeing this
- thank you guys for being so awesome and supportive!!!! Even if I sell little as 3 of these, I’d be happy to know I did this fandom a service beyond bad dgm headcanons.
I will edit this post if other major questions come up.
