Sniff sniff i’m sick <]:-[
#retro.bullshit#i love my tiny minor antagonist something something how elysium valley is all about the guilt the guilt you feel over loss or avoidance or#wahtever and addressing that guilt and if you leave it to simmer for too long it starts to spill out in unhealthy ways#the first seasons about identity and loss and how when we shape ourselves around another person when we lose that person#we're left not knowing who we are#IE doppelgangers in regard to identity and feeling liek you 'could do better' would my mother be proud of who i am right now#and allowing yourself to be overtaken by something that feels like it can worm its way into your life and consume who you are without notice#also in helens case kind of the complex matter of masking too and internalized ableism#but then the second season is liek about trauma and the exploitation of that trauma by companies in order to profit off of you by claiming#care when in reality things like the pharma companies price things to sucha. degree that people who need these things to survive can barely#afford them and also toxic masculinity#and where does trauma and toxic masculinity overlap#and while helen is opening up to jun and they're healing their relationship and starting to form a healthy connection#in opposition to how Jun was consumed by helens prescense the sun to her icarus#Michael doesn't have an outlet for the grief and trauma he endured during the first season#adn how the evil little guy of the series is now haunting him with this grief in a manifestation of the one person he couldn't save#and how that challenges his view on his masculinity#hes the man he should've saved her instead he stood frozen and watched her die#as if he could've done anything to prevent it#also michaels toxic masculinity is something in the first half too#thats just being more so addressed in the second half#blah blah thats where my sick mind is at now#the elysium valley radio show#i might as well tag the story since i rambled so much in the tags
