Hello! I am really enjoying your Thistle the Show analysis posts, there are some really interesting ideas in that show! (and also from a goncharov-ing a story perspective they are so much fun to read)

eyy I'm so glad! I love that show, I love the heavy atmosphere and the overwrought symbolism and the 'power of the land' magic that's never fully explained and the tragedy of it all, god this show is so good at tragedy for something that does technically earn a happy ending. if KILLING OFF YOUR EPONYMOUS PROTAGONIST can count as a happy ending, god, I never recovered, even if he did come back to life afterward that still just MURDERED me.

it's so thematically satisfying is the thing T.T he dies and I'm just sitting there like....the themes......we're breaking the cycles of trauma and vengeance.......

#thistle #thistle the show #finx has friends on the internet #I'm glad they're fun to read on their own merits!#I did prepare them all ahead of time so I'd have something coherent to launch this with lol #but it'd be cool if more people would pick it up #I also have a whole google doc of Lore that I'm trying to distill down into tumblr posts #thistle's tragic backstory is gonna have to come out in a fic I think #it's real good though I promise #I told a friend the other day and she screeched at me over zoom about it #and I really want to write out the rest of the hedgehog kid's prophecy but alas....I'm so bad at poetry.....#I also really need to name her lmao #you know what let's do it now. her name is........#firria #there that's what we're calling her #EDIT: SHE'S NOT A HEDGEHOG ANYMORE #she's a lioness now #she's got a mane bc she's trans #she's also not called firria anymore T-T her name is elline
