How I feel after reading 20 essays on characterization and symbolism from anti-bl tumblr users; watching 1980-2000s anime to have cultural references; trying my best to absorb random osokun manga; and ONCE AGAIN fucking rewatching/replaying utena/twin peaks/lisa/disco elysium/whateverrrr for 84727th time for emotional and thematical inspo.

All just to write Osomatsu and Choromatsu as well as Jyushimatsu and Ichimatsu giving up on life and future and the expectations society places in "cishet" men and deciding to have evil codependent sex that is somehow both psychologically damaging yet uplifting because it's the first time in their lives they're doing something Nice for each other

#blmatsu #i wish i had deeper thoughts on kara and todo because theyre also juicy. but i kin those four so lol.#i know we talk a lot about todo being queer but. well. whatever is going on with cho and oso is scary.#as i once said to a person... oso is like if their dad was a girl and cho is like of their mom was a boy. there's something sinister with e #I don't even mean in a gender sense. It's just very hard to disconnect the way they both seem so keen on parodying their own parents.#with cho <--> matsuyo parallels and oso <--> matsuzo parallels #that have been going on even since kun #despite neither of them actually being similar to their parents on the inside. (I don't know how to articulate this insanity well)#I'd post some analysis posts but uhh 99% of fandom aren't going to listen to the ''choso should have sex about their mental illnesses'' guy #LMAO #then there's the layer of osomatsu's emasculation via failing at patriarchy and societal expectations and Being His Dad #and maybe him not actually wanting to be any of those things deep inside.#and also me hc'ing him as an sa survivor that makes me feel his ''im failing at being a man'' vibes more acutely.#I am insane and I must wail I need a fucking lobotomy
