If you feel like it, what would you do with Haru and Melon if they were your characters? :3
HOO BOY. ok so. i think it’s a travesty that all the school characters got sidelined during the melon arc but ESPECIALLY haru. she’s stubborn and independent and she deserved to find her own strength as a person outside of her complicated relationship with legosi. i would have at least given her some narrative significance during the fight club/melon arc, maybe having her interact w melon as a student and get curious/suspicious about him. she could be following his trail at the same time as legosi, but from a different starting point, until they both meet in the middle and realize theyre after the truth about the same guy. OR have them work together from the start and learn to navigate each other through their shared goal of taking down melon! the other bunny girl was kind of cringe and boring. i hate “girlboss” characters whose only “tough” trait is being mean to everyone. haru’s struggle with her own fragility and identity as a small prey animal was infinitely more interesting than the hot bunny girl who showed up already way more cool and badass and self assured than the rest of the cast :/
i also HAAAAAAATE how melon’s story got retconned. “haha yeah actually his mom didnt eat his dad that was just for the sillies lol” WHAT??? WHAT?? WHAT????
the fucking driving force behind melon’s severe psychological state is that his mother was clearly abusing him by subjecting him to emotional incest and he killed her when he was made aware that she had abused his father too.
the point when he learns what happened to his father is when he understands that what his mother is doing to him constitutes abuse, and so he retaliates. this is a pivotal moment in his life. to take away the stakes here by saying that it was all a misunderstanding completely delegitimizes the experiences that lead him to where he is now.
also, why would the leopard even say that she ate her husband if that wasn’t true?? like what the fuck was the point of that scene at all if it was never real? god i hate this retcon so fucking much
JUNO ALSO DESERVED WAY BETTER WRITING TOO FUCK i hate the ending of beastars so muchhhhhhhh
