gonna think forever about the missed opportunity of making Eugene and Cassandra's character arcs complete parallels in the sense that Eugene is a selfish man who learns to be selfless, and Cassandra is a selfless woman who learns to be selfish. Eugene is someone who grew up in a system that was so unfair that he had no choice but to put himself first so he could survive, but when given an opportunity, he thrived in his ability to be there for other people. Cassandra is someone who grew up in a system that left her no choice but to sacrifice her worth again and again in the hope of gaining the slightest bit of respect, but when she saw that it was rigged against her, and she would never win, she took action and put herself first so she could finally thrive. THE POTENTIAL OF THIS HAUNTS ME
#not to type an essay but god#eugene is someone who took and took and took in a desperate attempt to have something#until he realised that giving (his life and his love) was worth more than any treasure#cassandra is someone who gave and gave and gave more than she could afford#until she couldn't anymore and decided to fight for herself and her worth#he's a man of faith (freely given and unwavering) and she's a woman of trust (earned and fragile)#I JUST. WISH S3 KEPT GOING LIKE THIS WITH CASS FHSJDJD#instead of going full 'manipulated and misunderstood angel who's not in her right mind or else she wouldn't have taken the moonstone'#YES SHE WOULD HAVE. AND IT'S GOOD THAT SHE DOES IT'S INTERESTING#alsooo that's why her death just doesn't work as a character moment for me lmao#eugene's death is significant because at the beginning of the movie he would have never sacrificed himself for anyone#but cass in s1 would have died for corona already by love and obligation so like. what do we gain from that#anyway many thoughts head full#tts rambles
