Happy spooky season! Have some Wandering Night Gaunt concept art from before making the podcast!
¾ eye characters down, one to go…Also i like to think Cecil is immune to the fears so Jon can’t “know” anything about him and is just constantly confused.
Re-listening to some Juno Steele season 1 episodes so I can recover from the season 1 ending and continue the story. But I’m still way too mad bro HOW COULD YOU DO THAT JUNO. YOU COULDN’T EVEN THROW HIS LIL NOTE OUT THE WINDOW WITHOUT ALMOST DYING. YOU PATHETIC MAN. I SPIT WHEN I SAY YOUR NAME I CURSE YOU WITH A FELL VOICE ON THE WIND AND I HOPE YOU ARE HAUNTED BY THE IMAGE OF NUREYEV’S NEW LOVER FOR THE DURATION OF SEASON 2!!!11AKSJFH;HAHDJH
Thank you for reading. No spoilers please (maybe I’m still rooting for them)
something that i really like about blue eye samurai, now that im thinking about it, is that it discusses violence against women without becoming torture porn. like, in a lot of media that portrays women's issues, they show you that scene. like they give you this extended visual of a woman experiencing something traumatic and then laud themselves as feminist for doing so.
blue eye samurai doesn't do that. the whole show is set in a world that is extremely antagonistic toward women, and it makes a point to tell you that being a woman right now sucks, because they are property and are used sexually. but even though it doesn't shy away from this, it doesn't show you the violence itself, which you would almost expect it to because of how graphic the rest of the show is.
im thinking specifically of kinuyo. they very well could have shown us a scene of her being abused, but they didn't. they didn't show the abuse itself, but they did show how it affected her. they showed her seeing a doctor for her sores. they could have made this incredibly traumatic and grotesque scene a spectacle, showing us exactly how powerless she is and how powerful he is. they could have shown us this incredibly triggering event in full detail for our entertainment, but they didn't. they chose not to. and i think that's how it should be.
it is not necessary to have an extended visual and auditory reenactment of violence against women. we the audience understood the gravity of the situation and were able to empathize without needing that scene. having that scene would have completely detracted from the point they are trying to make. it would have turned something completely reprehensible that women everywhere fear because it's a very real issue into entertainment.
My guy lasted longer in the DREAMLANDS ffs
