R2 16 makes R2 09’s chess game make sense
Fuck I just realized something.
THIS SCENE IS ILLEGAL MOVE
Remember a long ass time ago when I said that in R2 09, Lelouch moving his king a square back was symbolic to him being a coward? I think I was right, but Schneizel is not the white king, Charles is. Schneizel was more than happy to offer up his King to Zero because he wants to get rid of daddy too. However, Lelouch is actually scared shitless of daddy so he, literally and on the chess board, takes a step back.
EVERYTHING WE KNOW IS A LIE. SCHNEIZEL IS ACTUALLY THE MAGICAL OFF-SCREEN GRAY PIECE. FUUUUUUUUUUUCK.

Look, I love you, which is why I have to tell you that you’re going off the deep end, and if you don’t manage to turn yourself around, then half a year from now you will be making webpages with random font sizes and colours, and diagrams with far too many arrows.

Now I’ve lost it~ I know I can kill~
(Also wasn’t it obvious I was going off the deep end from a start since I have a blog dedicated entirely to one animu?!)

Just howling in the shadows~
Also that’s merely endearingly eccentric. It’s those diagrams with arrows you have to watch out for, that’s a sure sign of Internet Crazy Syndrome.
