(this isnt to shit on Miura. his work has endlessly inspired and meant a lot to me, but that doesn't mean that it is exempt from constructive criticism)
i love Casca but damn it if she isn't the most misused character ever. I can understand what happened to her in the Eclipse from a narrative standpoint (Miura really didn't need to draw that scene in titillating angles though. It was fucking disgusting already). I can understand Casca loosing her memories. And as much as I despise it I can even understand her going into a zombie child-like state.
But what I can't understand is her being in this state…for what is essentially almost the entirety of the main story (20+ real life years) and GET 0 CHARACTER DEVELOPEMENT IN BETWEEN.
Don't get me wrong, arguably the best scene in the story is when she finally "wakes up" in Elfhelm. But they couldn't even give her a single thought, a short internal dialogue of the conscious part of her brain in between all this time? Nothing for who is essentially the tritagonist and supposedly the main heroine of this story, to who is at her core a really interesting and beautiful character with tons of wasted potential?
“who are you shifting for?”
“who’s your dr s/o?”
PLS I’M SHIFTING FOR ME😭 WHAT’S THE SHIFTING COMMUNITY’S OBSESSION WITH EVERYONE HAVING AN S/O?
esp with those shifting methods “imagine ur dr s/o…” SORRY WHO?
and those shifting motivation things too like “answer these questions about your dr!!” and 95% of them are about your dr s/o and not your dr…
ofc nothing wrong with having an s/o but i think people focus wayyy too much on that rather than themselves
but if that works for you then it works for you sooooo idc it’s up to youu!! this has just been a silly rant
Theopil, comma dead guy who appears in half a side story as a background character Isolde practically ignores after he runs away from her as a child from grief over Trista and her similarities to their mother, is genuinely one of my favs. Like top 3 at LEAST if not favorite. I care about the tragic and ignored Dittarsdorf very deeply unfortunately. Trista is the forgotten Dittarsdorf who haunts like a poltergeist still terrorizing those they hold a grudge against, but Theopil has been ignored by everyone since the start and there’s so much more I could go on but I love him. My blorbo supreme I fear
