we also like surface level liked how yuki's delusions and hallucinations were treated in school live. like she's cared for by the other girls and they all treat her with respect and compassion, and as long as she's not actively putting herself in danger they don't challenge her even though it has to be painful for them sometimes

#like how she talks to megu that had to be hard on kurumi and yuuri at first #like you just lost the only adult in this situation and then your friend just acts like it didnt happen and continues talking to her #especially for yuuri. that must have been rough #even though they did all end up appreciating the fact that yuki was able to stay so cheerful/normal #which btw isnt like a reflection of general treatment of psychosis its more of a our teacher turned into a zombie thing #anyways. just the way the most negative response/reaction yuki ever got from the girls was confusion or sadness #never anger or frusturation or hostility or anything #they just understood thats how yuki's brain works and did their best to keep her safe both physically and mentally/emotionally #and the way in the finale yuki recgonizes all this and says she cant let bad things happen to her friends #and that she knows how theyve been protecting her this whole time #just. aughh #like school live isnt some super progressive display of anti psych or anything #but just in the sense that it shows hallucinations and delusions being met with kindness and understanding #just. surface level. very good #AND its never used in a horror aspect even though its a horror series #like none of the horror comes from the fact that yuki is psychotic #maybe some tension between the girls or a stark contrast between yuki's perception and reality #but the fact that yuki hallucinates is never the horror itself. in fact its almost presented as a good thing #or at the very least a neutral thing. like how megu tells yuki to be quiet and hide with the zombie in the library #and her view of the world is what keeps her functioning #just. yeah #like we just like how its presented as just part of yuki as opposed to some tragedy or scary thing #confluence.txt #school life club #<- tag!
