pov: you’re the poor sap stuck in the ring with the Red Angel
I don’t explore his unhinged side nearly enough but like, doing so would mostly involve drawing fight scenes. So maybe that’s why, because I cannot draw a fight scene for the life of me ._.
Long car trips mean hunch over my ipad and film dumb stupid videos in restaurants at 11pm 😍 (future me screw u idk if it’s shaky also do not perceive me)
He was my favorite character the first time I read the book lol- kinda still is, but upon rereading and watching the film, I started to like all the other characters just as much lol. Never stopped liking him, I just like the others so much that it sorta evened out
And so yet again, Emilio Estevez plays one of my favorite characters in one of my favorite movies lol

i was possessed by something last night to scribble out some designs for this alliance :D They're just such a fun and silly group, I love their vibes so much already 💚
Something I wanna talk about with Kenji's character in Chaos Theory is the recurring theme of Claustrophobia.
Mickieart, who designed the interior of Kenji's trailer, said that they designed it to feel minimalist but also claustrophobic.

When Kenji has his panic attack after losing his dad, he tries to open the door despite the car not having even stopped yet.
Claustrophobia is a really strong way to convey Kenji's emotional state.
He feels trapped in his current life, having lost Brooklynn, then Darius when he hid from everyone, and his dad is in a halfway house. Not only does he feel isolated, conveyed geographically, but he can't escape that mindset that everyone around him is disappearing and he can't reach them, either because of death or resentment.
He must also feel trapped in the feelings he still has for his father, that he still loves him even after everything, which is why he lives so close to him. But of course these feelings haven't quite risen to the surface yet.
So when he dies, those feelings boil up and he becomes even more claustrophobic than before.
Kenji trying to open the door in that scene is a small action that speaks volumes. Amazing.
