Little Black Dress. Original art. As usual no AI, no photo bashing, no 3D and no ref was used for this. Just painted from the ground up in Photoshop. Painting time-lapse will be up on my YouTube when I get that done for those interested.

Okay but can we talk about how Big Mom is like one of the best portrayals in fiction of the problems with exoticism?

Narratives where one group hates the other for racial, cultural, physical, or other reasons are common, and although they still require nuanced execution to really be meaningful, in essence they're fairly easy to set up. "You're different, so I hate you and want you beneath me."

Exoticism, on the other hand, is something I really don't see dealt with as much. It takes more thought to explore the idea that oppression can be expressed not as outright hatred of certain traits, but through sensationalizing and commodifying them. Thinking a trait is cool or beautiful, but taking away the rights of the person it belongs to.

The way Totto Land is run demonstrates this perfectly. On the surface it's "accepting" of all races, people of all shapes and sizes, but not being directly attacked and discriminated against is held over all of their heads in order to exploit them for continued donations of their literal life force. Acceptance is conditional on their usefulness.

Big Mom also literally collects living creatures in a scrapbook zoo for her own entertainment, and creates beings bound to her will out of inanimate objects. She's enchanted with the idea of Brook as a living skeleton, holding him like a doll and playing with his hair (relevant that it's an afro, imo), only upset at his apparent "death" because she's lost her new favorite toy.

It's shown perhaps even more starkly with all of Big Mom’s children. She births offspring of every race in order to have their powerful traits under her command, and discards the fathers once they've added to the gene pool as she wanted. It's a tool of imperialism to get those people groups under her reign. And as shown with Pudding and Katakuri, she can sometimes personally be disgusted by the physical traits of her mixed children and make them feel the need to hide, only tolerating their appearance in hopes they'll be useful. She can't stand that Pudding looks like a beautiful human girl in every way except for that "gross ugly eye," a necessary evil that is only a positive if it grants her powers. She discriminates against her daughter even while benefiting from her.

It all feels so reminiscent of "oh, I only date Asian women because they're more attractive and have good wife traits," and "you're so pretty, but you'd look better with straight hair," and "white and Filipino couples make the most beautiful babies, that's who I want to marry," and "wow, you're so pale, I could barely guess you were Mexican," and "black people are just naturally better at sports" and "you'd look better with a tan" and "you'd look better if you were lighter" and "black hair is gorgeous but it doesn't look professional" and "I'm dressed up as a Gypsy/Indian/etc." and "I want a curvy girl but actually fat people are gross," and "I'd love to have a gay best friend lol, as long as they don't make it their whole personality," and "autism is your superpower! why do you act so weird though?" and on and on and on.

Big Mom is a fascinating and surprisingly realistic example of obsession with unique traits despite giving no actual respect to the people who have them. Once again, Oda, hats off on shockingly accurate depictions of oppressive systems.

I have nothing intelligent to add but as a viewer watching, I felt the scene built tension via increased intimacy and vulnerability with the silhouette kiss, the butterflies of facing uncharted territory as they choose to trust each other and cross a new line, being the most poignant - the top of the roller coaster before free fall. by seeing them play around so happily in bed first, any sense of immediate danger from their choice (whether losing their friendship, having a negative sexual experience, accidentally hurting each other somehow, etc.) was also curbed. Their uninhibited joy and comfort together was so sweet and having that freedom permeate from the starting shots of the sequence felt like sex was their doorway toward that liberation rather than just a fulfillment of lust or their happiness being a temporary post-fuck haze. I also don't think the sequence was necessarily exactly reversed, they could have been flirting playfully before things escalated, but my general impression of their experience of the night was definitely colored by the initial casual intimacy shown.

the show also seems edited to represent jaewon's pov sometimes and memories aren't always recalled chronologically. maybe the scene shows that their closeness stood out the most or left a big impression on him (or more ominously, that jihyun's trust haunts him or he tries repressing more intimate memories since he might feel guilt or regret about it if he thinks their decision led to the carefree - maybe to him, careless - atmosphere in which jihyun's accident happened)

In the hotel room scene in episode 6, has anyone talked about how the scene seems to play in a nonlinear fashion? The scene starts out with them cuddling in bed (presumably post-coital), then shows them being intimate with each other, and then ends on a silhouette kiss. To me I think this scene purposefully is shown in the reverse.

In reality I think in the hotel room it starts with the tentative kiss we see in the end (the silhouette kiss), and then they have sex, and then it ends with them cuddling and joking around with each other under the covers.

Why this scene seems to play in a nonlinear way, I'm not sure. But this show really does a great job of making everyone think and analyze every tiny detail.
