I do sort of wish western anime fans would analyze anime and manga from a framework of japanese historical and cultural context. Specifically a lot of works from the 90s being influenced by the general aimlessness and ennui that a lot of people were experiencing due to the burst in the bubble economy and the national trauma caused by the sarin terrorist attack. I think in interacting with media that’s not local to our sociocultural/sociopolitical sphere it’s easy to forget that it’s influenced and shaped by the same kinds of factors that influence media within our own cultural dome and there ends up being this baseline misalignment of perception between the causative elements of a narrative and viewer interpretation of those elements. It’s a form of death of the author that i think, in some measure, hinders our ability to fully understand/come to terms with creator intent and the full scope of a work’s merits

in the lonely hearts club job leverage asks the question "does romantic love exist?" and answers it by having eliot buy parker a venus fly trap on hardison's behalf, expecting no recognition and revealing eliot remembers a throwaway comment parker made on their second job together.
we all know this.
but was anybody going to tell me hardison already had a browser window open looking for restaurants to buy eliot in portland in response at the start of the episode immediately after that? or was i supposed to figure it out on a rewatch all by myself?!

Posting that last drawing made me realise, oh.. I hadn't shared my actual face plate design for Mind here until now
Well here's the sketches I did to work them out, and a concept for my Light animatic as a bonus!

if someone silently and voluntarily started to give me candy everyday after I told them a childhood trauma story about how I always wanted to have candy but couldn’t afford it and even got taken advantage of because of that, I’d probably just break down like I’d just start crying

we are lady parts is a romcom but not because of amina wanting a husband or ayesha's baby gay taste in women (affectionate). it's a romcom because at least once per season The Band gets to perform a Grand Gesture to earn one of the girls back. and vice versa
