Sometimes there’s an upside to a slow convention, and that’s working on new ideas! Radish Spirit continues to be a whole vibe.

i love the movie spirited away so much because like on the surface it’s about a girl whose parents are turned into pigs and to save them she goes to work in the spirit world at a bath house run by a witch and her best friend is a dragon.

but on a deeper level it’s about a girl who is separated and distanced from everyone she loves, going alone into a new chapter of her life where everything is unfamiliar and unknown, and she works so hard to save those around her to the point where she forgets who she herself is. it’s about how sometimes you can’t grow up without reconnecting with your past self. it’s about feeling lost but still finding joy for life and finding love again. it’s about feeling grief for who you were and are and how hard going through changes can be, and sometimes you do something you think is nice but end up hurting people. and the focus isn’t on romantic love (which i appreciate so much and could write an entire essay on) but platonic love. and in the end the circumstances haven’t changed (her parents are still the same personality -wise, they’re still moving to a new place away from all her friends, etc) but she remembers that she’s loved and doesn’t feel as alone.

ALSO chihiro as a main character is just so ahhhh because she’s not perfect, she’s flawed and makes mistakes and gets sad and frustrated. but she tries which is the important thing. she’s kind and powerful in her gentleness—like No Face is said to represent loneliness and temptation and impressionability, and she treats him with kindness.

and the idea of those who love you remembering you even when you can’t
