having read and watched paprika i understand and respect satoshi kon’s decision to downplay osanai and chairman inui’s villainous gay psychosexual relationship to basically just this (independently insane) line (he didn’t want to be homophobic) but i do think it was the wrong one. paprika 2006 is in most aspects better than the novel but the absolutely batshit gothic horror subplot of the chairman being a catholic cultist with a sexual obsession with christ and st sebastian grooming osanai in their image (and his own) would have improved it significantly

^^ insanest shit i’ve ever read you could not pay me any money to excise this in adaptation. more book quotes under cut

^ fetishisation of specifically st sebastian + sexualised death throes

^ osanai created in inai’s image/mistaken for his son

^ emasculation

^ sexualisation/emasculation of christ

^ osanai’s delusions under the chairman’s control/worship of inui

Oneirophobia: The Fear of Dreams

read it on the AO3 at https://archiveofourown.org/works/41790762

by amiramordecaimtired

In Tokyo, Japan, in 1993, scientist couple Dr. Atsuyo Chiba and Kosaku Tokita finally patented the DC-Mini, a device that enables two people to share the same dream after saving Earth from catastrophe at the hands of the greedy chairman Inui. Unfortunately, their advice is banned at the start of Earth's Eugenics War, and the two scientists are presumed dead in an attack on their laboratory after winning the Nobel Prize.

Now, over 250 years later, The U.S.S. Enterprise has received a strange transmission of a nonsensical parade from the heart of the Galorndon Core, a geologically and atmospherically unstable planet. When Spock is trapped in the world of his own subconscious, it's up to Kirk and a girl called 'Paprika' to save him from himself. As he enters Spock's inner mind, the two find that there's no escape from what their inner subconscious truly desires from one another.

(I've envisioned this looking like TAS, but as a Satoshi Kon crossover with Paprika, a film that I recommend anyone who loves science fiction and dreams to check out!)
