What's wrong with wish fulfillment?

You know your whole damn culture needs therapy when large numbers of people can be convinced that there is something evil and wrong about writing yourself being and getting absolutely everything you want in your wildest dreams. This is even more true when the evilness and wrongness is explicitly identified as the act of sharing, posting, making public, speaking aloud your wish-fulfillment, and being applauded for doing so.

The urge to police other people's pleasure should be recognized as the greatest moral perversion of all.

Poking at DN Angel

Speculation: Black Wings was a painting, a figure of which Dark and Krad are both sort of negative images, the huge rectangle we see chained being the canvas, now blank of course since the art has escaped. The thing we see Satoshi visiting down in some Hikari basement and the vision Daisuke has after the first run-in with Krad are the same thing--this artwork.

Speculation: A Niwa came to steal the Black Wings, and a Hikari tried to stop him. In the process, the art was freed/activated/split and both the Niwa and the Hikari recieved the magic backlash which lodged one half of the soul of the art in each, bound to their dna. (*shakes head over weird manga biology*)

Speculation: The Hikari keep trying to capture Dark so as to recombine him with Krad and get both of them back into the damn painting where they can be sealed and/or destroyed. Obviously, they keep missing, quite possibly because Krad takes over before they can complete any attempt. Total lack of sympathy on the part of the Niwa's probably helps with that.

Speculation: Daisuke's ability to /make/ art as well as just steal it is going to be crucial.

Speculation: If Riku simply accepts Dark, Dark will sleep again. If she actually loves both Daisuke and Dark, he will remain awake/extant as part of Daisuke, and may actually be laid to rest at the end of this life.

Speculation: What seems far more likely is that she will love them both, Dark will thereby have his wish granted, he and Daisuke will be /able/ to co-exist, and he'll still sacrifice himself to rejoin with Krad so that Krad can be sealed with him.

Speculation: Risa is going to wind up with Satoshi, because neither of them drool over the other. And she's certainly his idea of a girl with no secrets.

Speculation: Dark and Krad manifest/express the form of the Niwa and Hikari wishes, respectively. To possess beauty and to possess hearts--the beauty of the art created by the Hikari and the hearts of those who see the art. In the case of Krad, this seems to have fined down to wanting to possess the Hikari's own heart.
