trying not to talk too much abt the bear s2 but im Really fuckin frustrated that even with everyone demanding that they’re sooo media literate and sooo smart that no one has talked about claire and the way she sparks audience discomfort. like, she feels out of place within the show because CARMY cannot accept that he is getting this good thing—she feels out of place in HIS life. she’s actually crafted to be the ideal girlfriend, with glowy bokeh lighting in a grocery store and beauty shot close ups and a sweet instrumental leitmotif to show to you, an audience member, that she’s too good to be true in carmys eyes. if you’re an audience member, she raises alarm bells in YOUR head because she raises alarm bells in HIS. he literally tells us that—that’s the crux of his final monologue, that he doesn’t believe he can have the life of food and wines best chef and a life of love and human connection. he doesn’t believe he’s deserving of good things because his family has always been so fucked, because nothing he’s ever tried to hold together has held together—except for his cooking. it’s done this way on purpose, to make you feel that anxiety that he feels around this relationship, and to make you question why you feel it too

something that really Gets Me about dungeon meshi is how like. the narrative is so Kind to everyone.
characters will fuck up and do unkind things and hurt each other and do things that are horrifying and the plot will still kind of hold out its hand to them all and say hey. let's share a meal together and talk it out. let's just rest for a minute. you deserve gentleness, we can figure this out together if we take care of ourselves

“You remind me of someone.” her voice was contemplative.
“I do?” she could hear him quirk his eyebrow.
“Yeah.” her voice was unusually quiet.
“Is that good or bad?” he gave a nervous laugh and leaned back watching her.
Dani sighed looking down at the city below them. She didn't quite know. She’d found him but he didn't recognize her.

i always see people saying “but johnny loved kit!/i believe johnny loved kit” as a defense against the abuse allegations but like. yall do realize that ‘love’ doesn’t mean you can’t abuse someone. right. all those “well it wasn’t really love if they did that” type posts are complete horseshit. you realize that, right. “love” is not some holy, untouchable, ‘pure’ concept, and it can’t keep a relationship afloat itself— you realize you need more than love to make a relationship work, right. regardless of if johnny loved kit, he still fucked him up. the intent/love doesn’t matter in the long run, what he actually fucking did does
