I can't stop thinking about the rings on Hermes' fingers. I can't. Whats the story behind those? Did he start wearing them because Charon gave them to him as a job well done? The weirdest gift imaginable to your professional associate?

Did Hermes steal them to be a cheeky bastard and got them fitted and put them on for the jokes? Did he start wearing them apropos of nothing? Just happen to start accessorizing like his professional associate? Is it part of a shared uniform? Can we see the employee handbook?

Did Charon go out and get rings commissioned to look exactly like his for not one, but two of his partner in crimes' fingers, slide each lovingly onto Hermes' corresponding digits, and then gently hold his now bejeweled hands in his own to see how they match, knowing Hermes will now carry something of Charon with him when he leaves him for his dangerous work?

I'm just. Asking. Questions. But I swear to God, if we get Charon's portrait and he has a feather or an orange ribbon somewhere on his person, I will be inconsolable for days.

Idk how much of this is because of my neurodivergence and how much is just my personal opinion, but this is why I personally tend to prefer animation over live action.

Personally I enjoy animation because it typically allows a broader and more obvious range of expression expression. I find live action is limited in realism (unless CGI is used, though unless it has a large budget it often looks a bit off), but animation can break from that, facial expressions are more dramatic and there are so many ways to convey emotion, or extra little parts of the bigger picture in techniques (like changing the art style, you could make it more realistic looking to convey that a drawing someone has done looks so realistic, you could make it more simple for when a character is watching a cartoon or say if they're coming up with a plan). A simple example for expressing emotion outside of the character's appearance is say, the background getting darker to convey they are angry, or if your seeing someone from a character's perspective they might have sparkles and flowers around them to show that they see that person as an object of affection.

I also find the expressiveness and variety with animation goes a long way to keep me engaged.

Now this section is less about live action and animation, and more about shows intended for children vs adults (though usually cartoons are children's shows and live action is adult shows)

I find adult television has more freedom in the topic they can explore and how explicit they can be, which can definitely be a good thing and I do watch plenty of shows meant for adults for that reason, but this also means that sometimes there's a show or movie that crosses one of my personal lines for what I'm comfortable with, like with sex scenes (I'm somewhat sexually repulsed) or particularly heavy themes/ disturbing topics (my mental health isn't the best and sometimes this sort of thing just makes it a whole lot worse and I spiral), but shows meant for kids just don't really ever cross that line for me, the furthest anyone will go intimately is kissing and although they might go into darker topics it's usually not too bad (the worst that's happed is me crying a bunch and even then it doesn't trigger a downturn in my mental health or anything)

So overall I guess kids cartoons (or really anything that isn't MA or R rated I suppose) is a bit of a safe place for me.

Anyone else wonder

Why so many adhd/autism folks (among many other groups in the neurodivergent and disability communities that I cannot speak for) love 'kids' cartoons so much?

Like I wonder about the psychology behind their popularity.

Could it be a form of sensory seeking? Animation tends to be more dynamic and artistic, I would argue there are more things you can do with art and drawing than with special FX and CGI (in that there is more space to experiment and mix mediums).

Maybe it's simply an escapism thing? Society is not really made to accommodate us so why would we want to see that same world we struggle to relate to in fiction?

Attached to that: a representation thing? Characters traits tend to be more exaggerated. It can be easier to understand intentions, subtext etc that we may sometimes miss IRL. Plus, I more often see coding that makes us feel seen and understood in animation than in live-action work (though I understand both are slowly changing to be more inclusive, and there is ofc my own bias towards animation that limits the information I receive).

I'm just so curious about it.

Also I realize there are plenty of folks from these communities who watch live-action work and prefer it too lol, I just see a lot of cartoon chatter online with these groups.
