girl help i started thinking about how dib's family does care about him in their own stunted ways but they're essentially allergic to showing that love in any healthy capacity that matters so his isolation is confounded and he's stuck underloved anyway

but THEN GIRL GET THIS IT GOT WORSE bc then i started thinking about how zim loves gir (and his other robo minions) but while gir is physically more affectionate both verbally and physically he'd leave zim for dead for a cornchip but zim refuses to be consciously aware of that and and

aghh there's some parallel in here about how zim has the lie of affection that comforts over the reality he's surrounded by machines that won't care when he dies, whereas dib has a family that will truly grieve him but won't love him while he's there. i don't have the eloquence to put it more cleanly atm tho. fuck. these boys are so fucked over by the world i

#the absence of love in the iz universe cycles around to being its biggest theme bc the major characters still yearn for it anyway #invader zim #zadf?#zadr?#idk how to tag this #blah blah blah

the monarch's relationship with villainy is so trans-coded it's hilarious

#there's just something about how he full time transitioned into a villain and treats his birth name like a deadname because it literally IS #and was like ''who the hell is gary!'' when he had been pining over 21's absence for months because he treats civilian names like deadnames #like he had canonically heard gary's name before that. it just went in one ear and out the other bc it is to him a deadname #i don't think he's ever called Sheila Sheila #and i know he's literally a butterfly themed villain. but referring to his transformation to villainy in terms of metamorphosis... trans af #venture bros #top tino post #santagno

i got curious about mary's role post-resurrection so i looked at a list of all her appearances in season 12 only to discover that she's only in about half of the episodes. which is surprising because like, where the fuck is she going? where is her character arc going to take her such that she's separated from her children for entire episodes, 33 years in the future with everyone else she's ever known or loved dead?

i'm just eternally fascinated that supernatural is a show about sam and dean, and literally no other character including their own mother is allowed to impede on that. every other character has to be removed at some point from the brotherly unit so as not to infringe on their domination of the narrative. every other character is expendable, unnecessary for the show to function continuously. every other character can go off on their own for several episodes at a time and live a life separate from them. there's no limit to this and no one is allowed to get close enough to sam and dean to negate this reality.

#liveblogging: supernatural #i wouldn't say they commit to this very well because the presence of the recurring cast expands their world and does a disservice to the #themes of isolation and the idea that they only have each other established by early seasons #but the bunker also does a disservice to the premise of it being a road show so like there are plenty of criticisms to make about how #spn has changed over the years #anyway i have critiqued spn on its inability to commit to either a small isolated cast OR a large recurring cast #which is where a lot of the issues i have with many characters stem from #since they're not well developed for the roles the show is trying to force them into #and potential is routinely wasted #anyway. that's just tangential. at the end of the day the show does always bring it back to sam and dean. one unit.#and no one not even other main characters are allowed into that inner circle #made real and evident by their mere presence or absence across episodes #it's just an interesting thing #.txt

if only i had the words to articulate what empathy and compassion mean in ajin

#like the low hanging fruit first- kei doesn't even HAVE empathy but he still chooses to be compassionate!#satou doesn't have empathy either! two low empathy fuckos duking it out on the dance floor #and yet satou still saved tanaka after finding out what the ajin control commission was really about #albeit for selfish reasons #satou probably saw it less as a good deed to do and more as a side quest/extra mission #if u think abt it kei and satou are both very similar in both personality and motivation #both low empathy and both selfishly motivated #the difference is that kei takes himself seriously and satou doesn't #i just think that what ajin does with its limited themes and cast is very simple but very good #humanity and empathy and emotions/the absence of. human experimentation medicine and the military.#*dies*#*comes back to life* haha just like-#*is shot and dies for real*#milk (normal)#ajin #yeah put that there

me grabbing the microphone hey yeah hey the first phase final trial of EW includes the leitmotifs and even straight up borrowed sections of all the previous final trial bosses up through the whole game. notably missing—save for the very beginning of the track—is Shinryu’s theme. this suggests a couple of things: 1) shinryu’s theme is the backbone of the song—much like the actual gameplay, and 2) that we haven’t yet heard the track + we aren’t yet done with zenos.

we’ve fought shinryu, yes, but we haven’t yet had a one and true confrontation with zenos himself in his own body. The music reflects this, choosing the theme of shinryu’s fight, but not a song that is associated with zenos. this comes later with the solo instance with him where the track Endwalker is used and thus a brief theme is established for *zenos* and not just shinryu

#I’m scratching at the walls of this song as a trial song AND THE ABSENCE OF THE SHINRYU THEME #I do think the shinryu theme is used in the game for zenos but tbh it’s always felt like a theme that suits just shinryu #the dragon that Ilberd summoned #also ALSO endcalled carries the same sort of back and forth that from the heavens does in the omega raids #the theme for the WoL is different but there is the same subtle push and pull in music #and it’s made pretty explicitly clear that on wings of hope lyrics refer to the WoL #beyond the imagery the lyrics are used in MSQ achievements and feature heavily throughout the expansion #I LOVE THE EW MUSIC #the push and pull is much more obvious in the final EW trial second phase #ffxiv #endwalker spoilers #I was just listening to the song for once in a clear setting of not the trial and focusing on the music and it hit me

i think one of my favorite tropes in media is like. a character doomed by the narrative but it Isnt a main character. a character who truly nothing can be done for them because by nature of the story being told, theyre already gone, whether through full on death or going missing or simply because one of the first things established about them is that they arent there. doomed by the narrative not in that orpheus will always look back, but doomed by the narrative in that eurydice will be gone when he turns around (and maybe she wasnt really there in the first place)

#mask mews #i sound a little deranged maybe but like #i mean characters like casey nitw. dess deltarune. hell prim from the hunger games #(and to keep sorta on theme w this blog tommy in devil town)#characters who we learn the most about through how their absence affects the characters we actually focus on #characters who embody that scene where the 1st thing we learn about prim is that she isnt there when katniss instinctively reaches for her
