#auri rambles#perpetua progress notes#the books are only mildly important. they're to point the audience to thematically-relevant media BUT ALSO#the characters knowing the stories drives them to do different things or helps them understand their situation#minerva tries her best to be a good mother not just bc of her own issues but also bc she's read frankenstein.#meanwhile damien identified with the creature and that influenced his decision to accept the wither king's offer#(maybe things would have been different if damien was familiar with faust. who knows.)#captain luna has not read noli me tangere.#im bringing it into the story bc i like it and its relevant to the identity & representation talk in the exile arc#but also luna can't be familiar with it. it'll make his existential crisis worse in ways that i dont really have time to explore#regarding the meta: i only read noli in late 2023 so any similarities between luna and ibarra are coincidental. at least in arc 1.#they also dont map onto each other in terms of deeper themes bc they exist in different contexts. namely that luna grew up in the century#following *a* revolution
