like, i said "how many times do you think eiffel's said he wishes he could forget a movie so he could watch it for the first time" because he would and, well... you know. but aside from being kinda darkly funny, i think it's kind of nice? especially if you are of the opinion (like i am) that he will get his memories back in some way, at some point - how many people actually get the chance to watch their favorite stuff for the first time again? and without spoilers or pop culture saturation - maybe he experiences the joy of some of that stuff in a whole new way! maybe there are things he doesn't like without nostalgia and context, or at least things he sees in a whole different light and - assuming he gets his memories back at some point - he would then remember both of those feelings and perspectives... maybe this is too much to hope for, but maybe it could even force him to contextualize some of his own nostalgia and pop culture biases. either way, i think it could potentially be a really interesting detail + angle in further deconstructing eiffel's Default Guy Worldview.
#wolf 359#w359#doug eiffel#like whether you think he gets his memories back or not there's still going to be that like. period of adjustment and discovery for him#and that's way more interesting to me if he DOES get his memories back and then has these two perspectives that are both his own#and kind of has to wonder like. what he would've done the same or differently etc. if he'd had different information and context#you know? it all kinda ties into that repeated theme of eiffel distancing himself from himself and then needing to reconcile#those different versions of who he is. anyway. i have asks about eiffel's memories i'm supposed to answer i'm going to i promise#and also i just. think it's nice in some way that eiffel doesn't know how to live on earth because neither does hera#so at least for that adjustment period. everything will be new to both of them. and that kinda helps.
