MXTX: so the story starts with the main character's death. Then we unravel his story and how he tried his best but had to resort to fucked up methods in order to create real change and save lives, how society supported him while it benefited them and then turned on him when it was convenient, how his complicated social status of being gentry-adjacent was intrinsically tied into every decision he made AND how he was judged before during and after those decisions, how he experienced abuse and abandonment and support and love, saved lives AND killed people. He sacrificed everything but never compromised his ideals once, and it got him killed.
MXTX: and then we close the story on the death of this other guy, who we're also shown having gone through ALL THAT SAME STUFF, except this guy compromises every single time and that ALSO got him killed.
MXTX: neither of them were killed because it was "right" to, or because they were "evil", but because those with power in society were done with them. Their past actions were used to excuse their executions, and it's kinda fucked up actually, wouldn't you say?
MDZS fandom: 1 billion years of meta on why JGY is an irredeemable villain, and WWX is a pure cinnamon roll

Contrary to popular belief I think Andrew has the "technically you can't prove that I can die until I do die; I am immortal until proven mortal" mentality rather than Neil. Because Neil was on the run doing everything in his power to make sure he didn't die, then he went through the whole book series thinking he would die at the end, while Andrew is literally just some guy who decided he could take on the literal yakuza like...

i talk a lot about how dave's relationship with his bro probably fucked him up in a lot of ways and rose probably did with dave too. but also what about the reversal afterwards when dave with his newly found awareness of Bad Parent Relationship Things points out weird ideas rose has developed because of her relationship with her mom that she doesn't realize are weird.
dave: so you dont have any issues with your mom? she was just a completely chill parent?
rose: No. I've come to grow and realize that she truly did care for me and was trying to reach out to me, instead of passive-aggressively taunting and belittling me as I had previously thought in my childhood. It was my fault for not seeing the truth, yes, but now that I know better, I-
dave: oh uh i wasnt really talking about that. whatever thats about. i was talking about the fact that she was like. drunk all the time
rose: Yes, but you do understand she had a lot on her mind back then? As time has passed, I myself am able to just start comprehending the scope of what we are dealing with. Sburb-
dave: yyyyyyyeahh okay but like she was your mom and you were a kid.
rose: Yes, but I've learned to be mature and see things from her perspective. Every adult has their weaknesses. It'd be childish of me to not accept hers, like she was perfect. And besides, it's not like she didn't care. She was constantly offering me things related to my interests, yet I chose to shun-
dave: yeah but for example like you were thirteen and she offered you a vodka martini while completely inebriated and you were thirteen
rose: She also gave me a pony.
dave: how does that not prove my point
rose: No offense, but I think I am quite well-equipped to be aware of if I have any underlying "issues" left over from how my mother raised me in my childhood.
dave: no offense but youre still a child and also i am literally like 23 hours and 547.56̅ milliseconds older than you what makes you think you were more well equipped than i was
rose: I'm sorry, did you read the entire Wikipedia page for Diana Baumrind at ten?
dave: ...
rose: ...
dave: ...
rose: ... Didn't thin-
dave: just so we're clear rose that long pause i took just now was not me getting "got" it was me being wowed by everything you just revealed to me with that statement.

hey guys i think theres a reason muu's opposite pair is kazui "repressed homosexuality" mukuhara.
her cover songs don't really help her beat any "was RLY gay for rei" allegations either. but whats funnier to me is her stupid chrysalis symbolism. ive seen a lot of people refer to the process of realising your sexual or gender identity as a "metamorphosis". muu i know what you are.
i also think this is interesting. though not as strong of evidence
the mindset of "if i can just become someone youre fond of, i can be forgiven" is pretty common in people who have been vilified for being lgbt and become desperate to conform for "forgiveness". but i think this is less conclusive bc thts also just a general thought that everyone experiences. "if you just conform to what someone wants, then surely theyll like you" or whatever. plus her "what i did wasnt wrong" behaviour but thats also a general thing. and probably more related to her murdering someone
