About Sanae
Alright, so
Sanae Kochiya
Is known to have been a geek as a human in the outside world (referencing pop culture often in multiple of her appearances)
Has very specifically been shown to be into science-related fiction (her interest in aliens in UFO, her absolute joy at being able to go to the moon, her Soku story involving her thinking that Hisotensoku is a giant robot)
Is a noted eccentric
Used to read "occult magazines" when she was young around the turn of the century (Vs. Patchouli win dialogue, Soku)
These things we know about her factually
We also know that in the outside world (our world)
American comic books have a niche in Japan (they are not sold in all book stores and the more fashionable shops that sell them sell them in English for the art [Justin Sevakis w/ ANN, 2018])
Most Japanese people who read comics read comics from the Big 2 (Marvel, DC)
At some point, American comics were serialized in Japanese magazines (Justin Sevakis w/ ANN, 2018)
There was a huge boom in extreme/grimdark themes and tropes in 90s American comics
Spider-Man antagonist Michael Morbius had a solo run starting in 1992
Thus, we can infer
Sanae, as an eccentric and a nerd, has probably read some American comics
Sanae would have been reading comics from the Big 2
Sanae, who read magazines in the 90s, could have read those comics in the 90s (if not through magazines, then through collected editions)
Sanae would probably lean more into Marvel, as Marvel is heavy on sci-fi elements
Sanae would be in the middle of the era of 90s grimdark
Leaning more Marvel, Sanae would definitely had read Spider-Man if she read western comics
What I'm saying is, there is a non-zero chance that Sanae Kochiya has read Morbius, The Living Vampire (1992). Now, her opinions of Morbius, at least in my opinion, depends on when she started reading/what issues she read, but that doesn't change the fact that the chance that she has knowledge of Morbius exists.

reread Gensokyo Channel One for the first time in ages, and past me is lucky that cross-temporal word processors don't exist yet, or the rough draft of that story would be buried under ten thousand notes of 'this scene could be combined with the previous one' and 'did we really need a roughly three-paragraph-long scene that amounts to By The Way Nitori Is Still Doing The Same Thing She Was Half A Chapter Ago???'

💌 Send this to the twelve nicest people you know or who seem to have a good heart and if you get five back you must be pretty awesome. 💌 🥰🥰
Hi dear @airenyah! I miss your Sana Bakkoush header but will recognize your BBS icon and your kind online voice anywhere! 😍 Accompanying this Ask with good wishes for a beautiful springtime day, to one of the nicest people I know who also has a kind and generous heart! 💖
awwwww that's such a sweet thing of you to say 🥺🥺🥺
i saw this ask first thing in the morning after i woke up and it had me all kinds of 🥰🥰🥰
i too miss my sana bakkoush header (she looks so cute in that shot)!! usually i'd just change my icon but this is the first time since i've made this blog a decade ago that i can't change my icon over my header, because otherwise @ranchthoughts and i wouldn't have matching icons anymore and that thought hurts me more than saying goodbye to sana after 7 years 😔💔
