#bc she completely ignores that she's miserable on every level until the movie- the delusion; on the opposite end Hikari is leaking misery

The show's premise is built on the backs of miserable bitches who instead of plugging holes choose to fill the boat with gasoline and matches and say nothing about it until it blows up and they're all drowning. It's so real, this is why it never pays to lie about your problems or what you want. At some point that level of personal pride in "protecting feelings" is worth nothing.

i really like the dichotomy of everyone respecting Nana as their friend off stage (and the darker feeling she has that they All take from her in one way or another except Karen) but inside the stage duels as performers with her as their ultimate test, they're all still prideful enough to treat it as every man's glory for themselves, making it so they can't hold a grudge against Nana outside the Revues because to everyone the Revues are Just Business and a space for words that don't belong outside it- which plays into the repression that's hurting all their relationships, they really thought of everything making this series
