I'm still clawing for the strings
Oh, I'd do any fucking thing
so after Im Ready Now I listened to the rest of dodie's discography several times in a row. and I found another song

like i see people say stuff like “rei is a deconstruction of the idea of like the perfect girl in a male gaze-y way” and and i'm ready to agree until they go “it’s because she’s creepy and weird and bad!” like no. rei's a deconstruction of misogynistic ideas of womanhood because they’re ideals forced upon her that damage her, not because she’s in any way “creepy”. like, the fact she’s a fourteen year old girl who was basically used as a substitute wife by her father bc she looked like his own dead wife is not something that is meant to make rei look bad like holy shit.
like both rei and asuka are very obviously like. showing fantasised and misogynistic ideas of an idealised woman don’t work irl yeah. shinji's misogynistic view of them is wrong. but that’s not because rei and asuka are bad people it’s because like. “fourteen year old who's flirty and seductive” and “fourteen year old who's a quiet obedient object” are major signs of abuse and trauma and anyone actually acting in those ways at that age clearly isn’t normal. asuka is desperate for attention in any way she can get it, even unhealthy and dangerous ways. rei is at the very least I has a weird pseudo-incestous enmeshment filled abusive relationship with her father, even if she's not actively being sexually abused. asuka is seeking support, rei is a grooming victim. these are not things that are flaws in their character the entire point of subverting the expectations is to show how those expectations are unhealthy to rei and asuka like. god.

I tried to learn guitar when I was like 14 or smth (saved for a couple years to finally buy one) and I was able to tinker by myself for like 8 months before The Symptoms made it clear I could either learn guitar or continue with art and ended up having to abandon guitar :(
My infusions pretty much lol fix me (crazy) and after being able to do smth like crochet I wonder if I'd be able to pick guitar back up? I'm one of the only ones in my friend group that doesn't play, so I know I'd have a lot of buddies excited to show me basics at least 🤔
