the way noda satoru draws ogata’s fake eye actually says so much. it looks pretty much indiscernible from his real one with the exception of not being able to show emotion. it looks normal because ogata isn’t a very expressive person to begin with. his cold, dead, eyes are a trademark of his character design. however, the prosthetic eye does look very obviously fake in his death scene. he is filled with despair and disillusionment, and his real eye reflects that, but his fake eye doesn’t move. the convincingness of the prosthetic up to that point mirrors the representation of ogata as an emotionless, defective person until the moment he realizes that he feels guilt.

golden kamuy is so weird because its one of my favorite manga but whenever i try to talk to people about it all that comes out is 'unhinged pathetic men', 'the art is a little wonky' and 'the anime has low budget bad cgi' but i wanted to take an opportunity to collect my thoughts and put them into words so this will be a very self-indulgent rant.
*warning: spoilers ahead*
i feel like, outside of japan, no one really talks about gk. i currently go to school in japan, and ever since moving here i was really surprised at how popular gk is. obviously there's the live-action movie coming out in less than two weeks but there are gk pop up stores, collab events, and i've even found gk merch in bic camera (generic electronic store that just has a bunch of miscellaneous stuff) but i think the reason for that is that its hark to really understand gk without some historical and cultural background. its about war and brutality and minority culture erasure and materialism and ptsd and abandonment trauma and manipulation and coming to terms with your own identity. it's historical, but its relevant. sure, it's filled with dick jokes and toilet humor and noda-sensei taking any excuse to draw naked men, but man, it gets dark, it gets deep, and it hits hard when it wants to. but that's not to say that the humor takes away from it. it's not a lighthearted manga/anime, but i think the humor ties into it perfectly and im still not quite sure how noda-sensei does it.
and the symbolism!!! gk sure does love symbolism and i am here for it all the way. understanding where the title comes from gave me chills. theres sugimoto and the dried persimmons as a representation of himself and his life before he went to war, and there is also so much symbolism surrounding ogata (especially with the eyes; as someone whose sense of identity and self-worth hinges pretty much entirely on his ability to shoot a gun, having him kill himself by shooting out his remaining eye was *a choice*)
i also think that asirpa is one of the best female characters in anime. she's not a naive little girl, as much as some of the other characters might treat her like one. she's someone who was forced to grow up too fast, who sees her purpose and knows she can't run from it. she carries the biggest burden out of everyone. and i love her friendship with sugimoto they are the most codependent besties and i love them to death.
not to mention the amount of research that clearly went into everything goddamn.
anyway it makes me sad that outside of japan, it's not that well known, when i think its a very well thought out and impactful story

my first and only moot :D or in other words ur now married to me
question abt ur future writings, do u plan on writing just for oc yanderes or anime charas as well? (also will they all be submissive?? idk if u mentioned somewhere but I love my subby men 😔)
bro stop that’s so weird (please kidnap me I’m yours)
I will write anything and everything. If you want like an anime chara you can defo req it, if you check my FYI and rules page you’ll get all the info you need.
Basically to sum it up I can do any character that’s on that fandom list (on the above mention pages) HOWEVER I can do a character that’s not on the list but you’ll just have to kinda summarise their personality for me if you get my jist.
But yeah I can do anything you want baby girl 😜😜😜
AND SUBBY MEN HAVE MY FRICKKKINNNG HEARTTT. I can write for both sub and dom character but im better at writing sub cause I’m a dom leaning switch. I acc might be only dom cause I’m such a sadist
OKAY IM RAMBLING BUT YEAH I CAN WRITE AHYTHING YOU WANT AND INLOVE YOU OK BYE
