i need to talk about this card or else i'm going to explode
Tumblr media
Kanade is totally giving Angel of Death vibes with this one. All of the white tones and gentle pose/expression representing the purity of it all, her desire and will to live to save everyone, which is also something that leads to her downfall.
We can see that the entire atmosphere gives the shivers, the landscape around her is destroyed, full of bones. Kanade has a sycthe in her hand and is crying, representing how despite her wanting to save people, this leads to her destroying things around her, since herself doesn't know if her methods of saving others actually works or not, which can lead them to despair. Kanade cries seeing the sight that she never wanted to hurt others, but her saviour complex hurts more than helps.
She feels like she NEEDS to save others to continue in life, to be alive, this is her duty in life, and she can't change this hurtful mindset alone. That is why she is far away from our view, because she doesn't want to be helped, she wants to be far away from others and let herself do her job, even though eventually this will only harm others, especially herself.
I really hope we can touch more on her saviour complex and the way this can be harmful to herself + other characters in long term (both in the story and in the fandom). I'm not saying that Kanade is some sort of villain that wants to hurt others, FAR from it, her entire thing is that she wants to save others, but her way of doing so isn't the best. She always haves the best intentions but she can't think the way she does forever.
I love her character SO SO much and this card is SO beautiful and portrays her struggles and view of herself SO WELL. Colopale is ROCKING with their new cards these days and I'm LOVING IT

Tell me every reason you enjoy Zootopia enough to give it all the rewatches you do.
Every? Oh boy.
Good Story
Perfect Characters
Visual Appeal
Earnestness
Let me break it down.
1. Good Story
Zootopia’s main point is: “Try to make the world a better place by realizing we’re fundamentally the same.”
That’s a really good main point.
It has the benefit of being true. Right now our culture is super into “self-identification,” and this crazy contrast between, “I want to be able to identify as something special” and “Now that I know what categories I fit in, I can choose who’s ‘one of us’ and who’s ’not one of us.’” Okay well that sounds pretty and I’m sure it fulfills some emotional need at some point, but it’s actually super divisive, and self-serving, and it’s the seeds for all prejudices. Including racism.
Do we have differences in origins and experiences? Yes. Of course. Do we also have some fundamental things in common? Yes. Of course. Which truth are you going to give the highest priority to? If it’s “no, I’m a prey animal, I know exactly where I belong, that’s who I am, that’s how I dress, that’s my compass for how I interact with others” then you’re getting all your security from your “sense of self,” and being able to understand what that is…which is just a fancy way of saying “I’m all about me. My own perspective informs everything I do.”
Anyway. Zootopia’s message was super true.
And the coolest thing about it is that if only Judy were in the wrong, and the other half of the dynamic duo, Nick, was this open-minded, un-prejudiced guy…and she just hurts him and has to apologize…the movie’s message wouldn’t be as well-communicated.
They have their prejudices and their hurt-from-being-prejudiced-against in common!
They’re the same…because they’ve both felt what it’s like to be treated like they’re not “the same.”
Nick isn’t the only character being mistreated and written off because of his species. The whole first half of the movie is about Judy being mistreated and written off. They think she can’t be a cop because she’s little and cute and a prey-animal. They think Nick can’t be trustworthy because he’s sneaky and small and a predator.
So literally…if Judy represented one race, and Nick represented a completely different race…the movie would be saying that both those races are discriminated against. They even have discrimination in common. AND, if Nick represented men who people make assumptions about because he’s a man, and Judy represented women who people make assumptions about because she’s a woman—the movie would be saying that both those genders are falsely judged.
I mean. Wow. Right now, your movie is either pro-woman or pro-man. Right now, your movie is either BLM or white-supremacy. Everybody’s lining up on one side of the line or the other. Zootopia says, “it doesn’t matter what character you’re looking at, from the elephant that can’t remember anything to the two main characters—every single one of them has fundamental things in common, and one of those things is that they all live like they’re in their own special category. When actually, they’re all fundamentally the same.”
I don’t want to keep beating the dead horse. But I have a post somewhere that lists every background character and points out that each animal is the exact opposite of what you would assume they are based on their animal-stereotype. The otters are never shown being playful or snuggly, only traumatized and ferocious. The cheetah is fat and slow, not quick or even quick on the uptake. Etc.
Even if you look outside of characters—look at the sets. Look at the environments. The whole city is designed “for animals, by animals.” But it’s in neat little segments. The animals organize themselves by habitat. Of course, in one sense that’s practical—the polar bears can’t live in Sahara Square, etc. but the point is, by making Judy and Nick, the main characters, small animals, in a city where everything is built to accommodate by species—UGH this is so good—they have to figure out how to problem-solve in situations that weren’t made to accommodate them.
Tumblr media
Little Rodentia? Judy has to avoid stepping on all the mice or knocking over their buildings. Parking tickets? She has to figure out how to jump to reach bigger animals’ windshields—or she inconveniences smaller animals because the tickets are all printed at the exact same size. Stuck in a cell? The guards didn’t think about the fact that small animals can fit down the pipes made to accommodate big animals.
Tumblr media
Zootopia is a city advertised to be where all the animals can come together. But the way they do that is by trying to accommodate every species’ preferences. So then actually while they try to come together, everything from their cars to their districts remind them of their differences. The whole idea is that they prioritize the wrong truths. Yeah, mice can’t drive giraffe cars—but they still have “driving” in common. See?
And oh my word. Initially it was supposed to be a spy story. But they changed it to a buddy cop story. Why? Well because justice doesn’t discriminate. Or at least, it’s not supposed to. So then there’s another lens to look at the story’s main theme through.
It’s just that every layer, every perspective you look at the movie from, is just hammering that truth into you: “Try to make the world a better place by realizing we’re fundamentally the same.”
2. Perfect Characters
Every character is so well-thought-through in this movie, even the side characters. You get the feeling you could watch a whole movie based on the side characters, because that’s the amount of love and nuance built into them.
Look at the main ones, though. Bellwhether is supposed to be soft and a follower. She’s a sheep. Instead, she’s hard and bitter—and she’s a leader. A villainous leader, but a leader, nonetheless. Even as she tries to keep animals divided based on fear of their stereotypes, she’s not fitting her own stereotype. Her voice actress has this strained, half-hoarse, but sweet voice. Like you can tell that this character has spent a lot of time under pressure and trying to manage appearances. Appearing like she’s fine, and she can handle it—until you realize that the appearance she’s really managing is “the cultural fear-based identify of the city.” They dress her in plaid and flowers and she’s a farm animal, because that’s the kind of character Judy would be most likely to trust. But she still has green eyes, and jagged teeth, so that when she does start making evil expressions there are some caricature-pieces in there that come out and accentuate that.
Tumblr media
Nick Wilde—everybody’s favorite—is supposed to be sly and smooth and shifty. And he is. He’s a fox. But he’s also brave, helpful, and trustworthy. The first time you see him is when he’s dodging out of the way of a bigger animal ignoring him and about to run him over. Well, that’s important.
Tumblr media
Because Judy knows what it’s like to have to get out of the way of larger animals, because they overlook her.
Tumblr media
So right off the bat, this character she has to get along with and work with, this character who furthers her development and nails the main point, is introduced in a way that has something in common with her. But he’s also introduced in a way that gives her an opportunity to focus on a different truth—that he is different from her. Because the sheep is yelling that he’s a “fox.” Right away, we’re back to species-as-identification.
And that’s what the movie does, all the way through. It presents new animal characters, and with those new animals characters, more than one thing is true at a time. And Judy has to try to focus on which truth is more important. “Try to make the world a better place by realizing we’re all the same.” Yes, Nick is a criminal. But Nick is also brave, helpful, and eventually, becomes trustworthy.
Judy, too. Judy is an incredibly well-done character. Because she believes, in her head, that anyone can be anything—which is not what the movie ends on. In fact, she goes from saying, “anyone can be anything,” to saying, “we all have limitations.” It’s not true that a fox can be an elephant. But it is true that a fox can be trustworthy. Figure out what’s true, and try to make decisions for the better, based on that.
I could talk about character design and acting. Ginnifer Goodwin gives just the right amount of smugness and self-confidence to Judy without making her unlikeable—you don’t realize she’s smug and her self-confidence is misplaced until she does, when she fails to make the world a better place for Nick.
Judy wears tight, actionable, well-fitting uniforms for the whole movie. In her civilian clothes when she comes to Zootopia, she’s wearing athletic t-shirts and shorts. Ready for action, that’s Judy, even in her civvies. Meanwhile, Nick? Nick wears loose-fitting clothes. Loud, patterned clothes that don’t match. Like he didn’t even what, ladies and gentlemen? Like he didn’t even TRY. “Try to make the world a better place…”
Because when you meet Nick Wilde, he’s long since given up on trying, in life. So his character design reflects that. He rarely even stands up straight, or opens his eyes all the way—his default is drooping. And guess what?
Tumblr media
When Judy “gives up?” Quits her job? Goes back home? Stops trying? Her civvies aren’t ready-for-action, trying clothes. They’re loose flannels. And her “ears are droopy.”
SERIOUSLY, you can find things like this in every corner of the movie. For every character. Not one character is a throwaway, not in voice acting, not in design, not in animation, and not in narrative.
3. Visual Appeal
Which leads me into this point—no other animated anthropomorphic animal movie is as visually appealing as Zootopia.
What Zootopia does is it matches the best of the best anthropomorphic animal designs from past Disney movies:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And they marry it with this incredible intentionality with modern CGI.
Did you know Disney invents its own software for things like fur textures?
The sheep’s wool, the velvet pig skin, the fox fur, the bunny fluff—it’s all completely different textures. There’s no one “fur” covering all the hairy mammals.
Nick isn’t just orange. He’s orange with deep red and dark tufts. Judy has black tips to her ears, too—which helps the two of them look like, in some sense, they belong “together” in every shot.
Tumblr media
It’s so important to the movie that the animals feel like animals that they worked this hard to do this. And then that extends to the textures of the snow, the ice, the sand, the wet leaves, the grass, the fire.
Every character moves like their animal, and like themselves. Nick and Gideon are both foxes, but they don’t move similarly at all. Gideon is aggressive and glowering and physical. Nick, again, is slouchy, leans on everything, completely non-confrontational.
Other anthropomorphic animal movies like Sing or Puss in Boots—they’re not doing both as well. Zootopia is appealing, without sacrificing realism completely, and without cutting character acting.
The lighting. Nope. This post is too long, I can’t talk any more.
4. Earnestness
There is no disingenuous moment in this movie.
The animators are never lazy. They always go for the challenge. They don’t cut corners. Have you ever seen “Over the Hedge?” I like Over the Hedge. But I watched it recently and it’s crazy how many shots are strategically placed so that the animators don’t have to solve a certain effects problem.
For example, when RJ sprays Hammy with cool whip to make it look like he has rabies? He doesn’t. You never see the cool whip leave the can. It just cuts away, then cuts back when RJ is pulling the can away from his face. The shots are also cut so that you never have to see gas actually come out of Stella—and you never see Vern’s full body as he gets back into his shell, just the upper part of the shell as he wiggles it around, going through the motions of putting it back on.
Tumblr media
That’s because that stuff would be painstaking to animate. Any time one character has to interact with props or substances (especially liquids) that are not part of their model, it’s harder on the animator.
Zootopia? We’re getting full-on views of characters getting wet, fur and all, characters touching various objects and elements, foam coming out of the mouth, new clothes, new set pieces, multiple models, huge crowd shots of different animals in different outfits, all with their own movement patterns and acting.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And all that hard work and effort, aimed so totally at the main theme of the movie? Making sure it looks as good as it can? Not just that, but the way it’s written, the acting, is so genuine. They don’t hold anything back. They don’t shy away from real emotion.
Judy Hopps’ apology scene is brutal. She’s crying, having a hard time finishing a sentence, her voice is all tight. It’s not pretty, it’s not romantic, it’s like…ugly crying. And her character is wrong in a super embarrassing way. They're not afraid to go there. The writers, the actors, the animators—they’re not afraid of being too vulnerable with these character flaws.
So many movies, especially kids’ movies today—they just pull up and shy away from being real through their characters. They think a quick sad facial expression will get the point across. And it does. The audience gets that the character feels sad about whatever the circumstance of the scene is. But not as powerfully. Because you didn’t put as much work and heart into it.
Zootopia is all heart, from work ethic to vulnerability to the filmmakers enjoying what they’re doing, enough to make it as good as it can possibly be. I can’t explain it better, other than to say, you feel like they would’ve been happy making this movie much much longer than it was. You feel like they’re cramming every bit of joy and passsion into every little joke, every side character, every hair on a CGI bear.
There you go. Long post, you did ask for it

Today I'm thinking about how Henry and Charles are the only two Greek Class members that go by their proper name the whole time. (Everyone else gets nicknames--Francois, Millie, Bunny, and Richard)
They are also the only two characters that are completely honest about their character from the start. Bunny tried to pass himself off as smarter than he is, Camilla more innocent than she is, Francis paints himself as the third party good guy but acts for personal gain, and a Richard is just...all over the place.
But from he very beginning, we learn a couple things about Henry: he is pretentious beyond normalcy and tolerates Richard at best. He deals in calculations rather than emotions, and this remains consistent throughout the book.
We also learn that Charles is the golden boy of the group, and that he is possessive of his sister. And even as his character progresses and he falls further into addiction and general assholery, these remain true. He is still as charming and "protective" as he was before, but these traits take on a new meaning in the context.
These characters are the only ones who never hide behind a nickname (which could be a coincidence but still lines up quite nicely.) They simply don't care. They don't care what Richard thinks of them or anyone else, for that matter. They are secure in their motives and remain so until they become the tragic anti-villains of the story.
It's also worth noting that Charles is the only character who calls Camilla by her nickname, which can almost correlate to him forcing her into the lies. There's some evidence that even though Camilla participated in the...yeah, that she wasn't entirely comfortable with it, and Charles became controlling.
Also the fact that Richard introduces himself right of the bat with his full name and then proceeds to go by his middle name for the rest of the book tells me that he's not telling the whole truth, thus cementing him in his unreliability.

random tsh theory:
when bunny told richard that henry was “different” because of that car accident he got into - but then said “i THINK that’s what it was. don’t know what else it could’ve been.” it’s clear he’s at least a little unsure. my theory is that henry hasn’t gotten into a car accident, and actually just had a physically abusive father. and i’ll tell you why:
1) the book mentions multiple times how henry drives incredibly fast and recklessly, something he wouldn’t do if he had been in a near-fatal car accident as a child. you’d think he’d drive slowly and nervously.
2) the book also mentions a few times how henry doesn’t care about what his father does or anything - making it seem as though his relationship with his father isn’t strong. it only makes mention that his MOTHER loves him dearly.
his limp-walking, his bad eye, his secrecy over his family and their whereabouts.
just a thought.

I also find it funny that fandom will only accept Lyanna being her non-conforming, wild self in the context of saying that Arya isn't meant to be pretty; Any other day we get back-to-back posts about how Lyanna is actually super traditionally feminine cause she sniffled at a song once, so she's actually more like Sansa. Instead of constantly speaking on Arya and Lyanna, how about you guys reflect on why your standards of beauty for women are attached to how well they perform feminity within the patriarchy?
#lyanna stark#arya stark#asoiaf#/Lyanna isn't actually pretty she was a wild tomboy/ Those two things are not mutually exclusive 😭#how you look is not a reflection of your personality and this is also a running theme within the story#we have morally good characters who are ugly and morally bad characters who are beautiful this is like...kindergarten level#Lyanna is idealized in terms of her personality hence /you saw her beauty but not the iron underneath/#and Ned correcting Robert when he said Lyanna wouldn't have shamed him like Cersei had#he's a very shallow misogynistic character and I truly doubt he would've been as attached to the idea of her without surface level beauty#reminds me of people saying that Olivia Hussey is a bad fancast for them because she has a /doll like/ beauty and they're /rougher/ 😭#as though their entire facial structure magically changed once they realized they enjoyed playing with swords instead of sewing sdksdkdsksd#it's giving that one tiktok with the /cat pretty vs doe pretty vs bunny pretty/#even if you wanted to make the case that her beauty is idealized in her death we get Arya described a pretty multiple times?#idk it's just so wild to me to use personality as an indication of looks it just sounds so stupid#Arya/Lyanna can still have /delicate/ features (which is extremely subjective) and still have a wild personality#how about we acknowledge that the perception of both of them is warped by strict patriarchal gender norms instead?#some real analysis just to shake things up idk

Honestly the more of a jerk jax turns out to be the more I like him.
He could still be a tortured soul who uses his jackass humor to cope but he’s undeniably morally grey now.
His character is so fascinating and can go in so many different directions and I would love each of them and I can’t wait to see what gooseworx does with him

here's your periodic reminder that fan creators do not owe you anything, and if someone does or does not want to draw/write something, it literally is not an attack or moral judgement of the thing, they are allowed to have preferences.

Tragically Beautiful -Serennedy
Small spoilers from Separate Ways
When I first became a fan of Resident Evil I was drawn into the dynamic between Leon and Luis when I was watching RE4. There was so much that I enjoyed the more I got into Re and how much more I understood when it came to the dynamic that the pairing had through their short interactions in scene packs.
Something about Leon specifically that I learned when getting into RE is that he is exceptionally understanding and can't seem to just hate people. Everyone he's ever associated with has had some form of connection to the Umbrella corporation, the same reason he is so traumatized so you'd think he would hate anyone from the organization. But no with both Ada and Luis he does not really seem to hate them in ways that could be understandable for his character, but that's not his nature. Leon was already very suspicious of Luis from the first time they met but they worked off each other naturally when it came to fighting and chemistry. Upon learning that Luis worked alongside Umbrella and was a contributing factor to Racoon City, Leon does not treat him differently no matter the implications that may leave.
@highball66 from all their Cheron posts it is even further pushed that Leon clicks with people he deeply cares about and understands. He makes connections to people a lot emotionally and bonds to those he can sympathize with. This is all my own interpretation of Leon of course but his connection to Chris is incredibly strong, they are in perfect sync and share a chemistry only achieved from years of working even seeming to be connected deeper then they were originally.
Tumblr media
In small tidbits of the game play we see Leon and Luis connecting in a somewhat playful manner, from bantering while they are walking around, encouraging each other in fighting and Luis' all to subtle attempts to oogle Leon throughout the game. In the game Luis is hell bent on attempting to repair the damage he did as a result of working with Umbrella but still holds the organization close to his heart as seen with his lighter and the photo. Luis knows he's hurt lots of people and wants nothing more then to protect, in his mind this is making up for his crimes he committed within Umbrella because he is so guilty over the matter.
Through his time with Ada he expresses only worry and persistence on finding a way to cure and save Leon and Ashely from the Plaga. He wants to help them no matter the situation even as he is helping Ada, he is more concerned about them. He barley knows Ashely and Leon but he is constantly running into danger for them, from giving Leon the medicine, running to check on Leon, save the medicine for Leon and Ashley, handing his laboratory key to Leon, and pushing his dying body to save Leon.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Leon is constantly losing people closest to him and no matter who it is, he is deeply affected. From being on the verge of tears during Luis' death to his pained reaction to killing Krauser. Leon was lazer focused on his mission but he was also very caring toward Luis in situations, he is gentle with people and expresses his care as well as he can. He lets himself be open with someone again since he was with Ada and even possibly since Krauser (if you believe they had something in the military) he starts to be less cold and shows his more playful and joking side. He trusts Luis once he actually admits he is in the wrong and tells Leon what he wants to know, he gives him the past details even at the risk of damaging their relationship and at that expense it deepens their bond. Their connection is much more genuine then any other Leon has had since Chris, the importance to Leon is gaining trust again after everything he's been through.
Luis was focused on making things right and becoming a better person but in the process his continuous act of running away from it, is what ended up killing him. His fantasy proved he believes he could be a hero even if it was somewhat mediocre. His entire life changed as he lost people around him as well as a result of Los Iluminado and Umbrella. He holds onto things that may be painful for him but they are still of importance in his heart (his rings as religious symbols and the umbrella photo+his lighter) Luis values proving himself and removing his past, helping others as a way to "make himself feel better."
Both of them became very close during the mission, constantly getting in harms way for the other and gaining a chemistry similar to Cheron. The main theme overlapping with Serennedy is change. How things can change a person for the worse or the best, they express the importance of healing and accepting your past, and they express the importance of trusting. Leon has been through so much with people he's held closest but he chooses to keep helping people because he knows people can change.
I have a feeling he knew Luis could change too.
Anyone can mend their past with the right steps to becoming better.

Okay I need to be working on the next TMNTTOBER prompt and I doubt my audience even knows or likes Gremlins but I wanna talk for a hot moment-
Tumblr media
Mohawk has been one of my favorite gremlin characters and I love him to bits. But after getting introduced to Claw and seeing some wonder if Claw would have reincarnated into Stripe who then reincarnated to Mohawk would it mean if they are actually women but no one bothered to ask if that is the case.
I took a closer look at Mohawk and was kind of surprised to see how he or she had rather... feminine features. Stripe's design looks more masculine and to me I have a hard time seeing feminine features on him. But with Mohawk there are some I really wanna point out.
Tumblr media
This is a close up and his full design. Compared to the other gremlins, he has a more slimmer sort of body to them. Something similar to Greta. Also to me I always thought Mohawk had some form of tits- His ears are curved in a way Claw's ears are as well.
Tumblr media
for reference sake so you can see.
Mohawk also seems to have black lips that could come off as black lipstick of sorts. Then there are his eyes. The marking make it look like eyeliner of sorts that are then shaped into eyelashes. His spikes also similar to Claw make it look like eyelashes as well if you look at it from another view. Then there is his voice. Which honestly sounds more high pitched in my opinion.
Sadly these are the only good videos I was able to download because I hate my life. Also Mohawk mostly makes weird ass noises rather then speaking often times like the rest of the gremlins. As a mogwai his voice was pretty high pitched, as a gremlin it is also somewhat still there. But I'd say it's more gargly and raspier, it sounds like Claw's voice. Also he is such a pussy in that last clip such a crybaby 🙄
Maybe I'm looking too hard into it but I am honestly thriving with the idea that Stripe and Mohawk were being total girlbosses the whole time XD (Disclaimer you aren't actually a girlboss if you torture, bully or abuse someone or try to cause chaos and destruction to people)
Thank you for coming to my ted talk, have a nice day.

Tumblr media
this is actually one of my favorite Mafuyu cards of all time. yes i may be biased cuz i love decora fashion, but i also really like the meaning of this card + the fashion choice overall. this card is part of the Portray Yourself gacha, which already explains a lot of things about decora kei as a whole.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
decora fashion is all about expressing your true self, without caring about what is expected of japanese society, showing to the world the person you are via colorful and bright accessories to express how much you want ppl to see who you truly are
and for Mafuyu, someone who highly struggles with her sense of identity and showing her true self, it means a freaking lot that she's seen wearing decora kei. she's getting out of the portrait in a way to finally let herself be seen by others in the way she truly is (demonstrated by the decora fashion), putting on bold and colorful accessories to show that she isn't scared of showing who she truly is, I like that she's even surprised by it! like "am I really doing this? showing the world who I really am? is this right?" and ofc it is!! in this part of the story she's finally thinking about going against her mom and say who she finally is, without telling any lies, and her wearing decora kei in this card is the way of doing so, of rebelling against her mom, against what ppl "think is right" for her, just like what decora fashion is all about
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I also like some small details like Mafuyu looking at the heart hairclip, which I've already explained that the heart is mafuyu herself (like in the Saying Goodbye to my Persona event), which can be seen as her reflecting over her own life choices and even the choice of wearing this kind of clothing in a way to express herself and rebel. and also the cat with bunny ears! like the cat (mafuyu) is trying to pretend to be someone that they aren't deep down, that's why the bunny ears are there
this card is so so good and i love it so much thank you for listening

Hello again, my fellow eah lore-freaks. This time I’m here with me ranting about how much I love Courtly Jester and the way they actually made her look like a real ANTAGONIST, she infuriated me as a kid but now I love her entire character and design.
Invented as of now, a saying ‘Maturing is when you realize that Courtly Jester just wanted to feel appreciated’ but tbh I don’t mean this as a mischaracterization nor babying sorta stuff (I.e my poor baby Courtly! 🥺🥺)
In one of the episodes, it flashes a brief moment of Courtly being somewhat ‘interviewed’ and told about her in progress character development, then— WAIT, she’d say something about liking a boy. And who’s that boy? Oh, alistair. Yes, supposedly Bunni Blanc’s lover but they both never committed to each other, so just kept it lowkey. Who’s in the wrong? Nobody, to be fair. It’s not wrong for Courtly to have a crush on Alistair, she didn’t know that the daughter of the white rabbit had already captured Alistair’s heart. For the two lovebird’s side, they’re not in the wrong as well. Maybe to keep it a secret so their destinies aren’t bothered or being nagged by pro-destinies? (MY FAVORITE NOW LMAOO) or simply to not make it weird for Alice and the White Rabbit.
Back to Courtly, I’d like to see her character development but the show abruptly being cancelled for whatever reason (descendants) stopped it ,,

am I the only one who couldn’t view Henry as being a catholic? The twins and Francis maybe, as well as Bunny in some aspects as he was raised in the suburbs and had a typical American childhood, but definitely not Henry. I thought of him as more of some esoteric gnostic that believed in the secrets of the Vatican (something Bunny mentioned in the book just to annoy them) rather than believing in an abrahamic religion, but ig just my interpretation of him

Question for the Secret History readers: do y'all think the seven deadly sins is a pertinent angle to read the greek class (Julian included) through? Cause I definitely see it fitting for Richard as envy (a deadly sin is supposed to be one at the origin of other sins and that leads to death if my memory serves me right, and his envy of rich people led him to wanting to transform into a rich person leading to him almost dying that one winter), Francis as paress (he would literally rather die than be disowned and forced to work to sustain himself). It could work for Charles (wrath), Camilla (luxury) and Bunny (avarice), and a sweet argument could be made for Julian as gluttony (in the sense of eating for pleasure rather than sustenance) but of course Henry's a problem. I mean, he doesn't NOT fit pride, but it's not evident either you know? Plus guy's literally Death so it feels weird to coinjoin the two, what do you guys think?
