Something I wanna talk about with Kenji's character in Chaos Theory is the recurring theme of Claustrophobia.
Mickieart, who designed the interior of Kenji's trailer, said that they designed it to feel minimalist but also claustrophobic.
(By mickieart on Instagram)
When Kenji has his panic attack after losing his dad, he tries to open the door despite the car not having even stopped yet.
Claustrophobia is a really strong way to convey Kenji's emotional state.
He feels trapped in his current life, having lost Brooklynn, then Darius when he hid from everyone, and his dad is in a halfway house. Not only does he feel isolated, conveyed geographically, but he can't escape that mindset that everyone around him is disappearing and he can't reach them, either because of death or resentment.
He must also feel trapped in the feelings he still has for his father, that he still loves him even after everything, which is why he lives so close to him. But of course these feelings haven't quite risen to the surface yet.
So when he dies, those feelings boil up and he becomes even more claustrophobic than before.
Kenji trying to open the door in that scene is a small action that speaks volumes. Amazing.

so I'm having a well adjusted totally normal silly moment where I'm studying the rottmnt s2 finale frame by frame (thank you VLC player) and a REALLY great detail I stumbled upon here... right after lou's soul is pulled and we see the family react, Leo is the first to switch gears out of panic mode and start running over to help him. he was already cooking with those leader instincts!!! idk it just made me really emotional to catch this on happenstance lol im still so messed up we never got to see him transition to leader organically

currently thinking about the shift in annabeth’s tone towards percy from episode 3 on the bus:
p: “there’s no way this is what sacred smells like”
a: “we’re soilders on a mission. it’s not a vacation”
to the end of episode 5 in the zoo truck:
p: “well, this smells”
a: “if it gets us where we need to go, that’s all that matters”
like she says it SO softly in the zoo truck?? it’s the same sentiment as episode 3 but she delivers it in a much kinder way like she’s not annoyed at his little comments anymore she’s just kind of stating the obvious, whereas in episode 3 she’s clearly annoyed and so over him being oblivious about everything… the subtle shift because they’re actually friends now

So @somerandomdudelmao made a version of their sona in a dystopia (inspired by @tapakah0 doing the same to theirs) and the person in this ask named the robot C.A.S.5 and I thought, ‘well then there’s at least four other C.A.S. units out and about in the world’ leading to this being the end result! It was a lot of fun to come up with the different customizations each C.A.S. unit has.
also, the design for C.A.S.4 (Cash) was partially inspired by @mobiitez post.
Doodles:
