Complaining abt Suicide Squad yet again but the fact that they have Waller exposing the alien community to space racist attacks and talking abt how she got to her position through deceit and being a terrible person and stuff is just. Ahsfiwueh JUST SAY YOU DONT KNOW WALLER.
Anyways literally the 3rd mission of the Squad ever (and the first framed as smth Waller picked and not orders from above) was the Squad discrediting and stopping a rogue vigilante who was only arresting POC and funneling white people into white supremacy groups (of which he was the most prominent member) in SUICIDE SQUAD #4. and it's explicitly framed as this mission being personal for Waller that she's hiding from the government bc its illegal like. Guys. Please why are we having her incite (space bc comics) racist attacks now
Also the whole "Amanda got her position through deceit and being a terrible person" NO. she KEPT her position through being shitty and playing complicated political games!!! She wasn't always that way like there is a difference and it is IMPORTANT ppl PLEASEEEE. In Secret Origins #14 we learn Amanda's backstory and she used to be a normal, caring person! Like even after she entered into working in government and politics she wasn't automatically morally bankrupt like please people. She was originally given control of the Squad by Reagan (*sigh* 80s comics...) to distract and get rid of her because she was so successful at pushing progressive social policy in Congress. Acting like she's this static pillar of evil is such a waste of her character and so fucking uninteresting and disrespectful to her arc it drives me MAD.
Like I am NOT saying Waller is all sunshine and rainbows, she fucking SUCKS (said w love <3) but like there's a human being there. It's a progression, she has a character arc like please, DC, please!!! They've fucked up Waller so bad and made her so opaque and uninteresting she can't even be the protagonist of her own story for fucks sake!
Like I don't know how many times I have to scream it until DC hears me or remembers but WALLER IS THE MAIN CHARACTER OF SUICIDE SQUAD. ITS HER BOOK. yet right now she's a cutout to be used as the villain wherever the writers please. Even in her book we get none of her perspective really displayed, no exploration of her thoughts with any kind of understanding of the role she traditionally has played and was made to play in the story.

consumed by flower pussy thoughts.....both nai and vash have flower pussies and as kids mutual body exploration was pretty much a given. they would play with each other, pleasure each other, and they'd slot together so perfectly, so easily. it was all easy and right and good. pressing fumbling hands against each other's holes, opening each other with their touch, their flowers—usu closed tight-knit—opening up with just a prod—less than a prod. only a simple look and thin brush of skin.
it's after they part ways that vash comes to realize smth they had missed so blatantly. and how could they not. it was so easy to miss. they never could've known. it's only as he spends his years moving alongside humans, that it becomes glaringly obvious.
their bodies are only compatible with each other's.
vash's body is incompatible with anyone else's. he can't have have sex with humans (at least not penetration i guess). bc his flower stays closed. it won't open, no matter how much anyone may prod at it, how much he may want it to. begs it to.
and it's only when he sees nai again after so many years that it seems to finally all solidify in his mind. bc just the look at nai. just having him in his vicinity, the mere presence of him has his flower unfurling. petals opening slowly between his legs.
and nai strokes a nonchalant hand at his arm as he pushes past the door and there's a wetness pushing out his folds. he can feel himself opening, blooming, feel the ever-present tightness finally finally finally relaxing. a fist unclenching. a breath of relief.
but the tightness is replaced by emptiness. and he needs he needs he needs. and only nai can give.
but the other is standing at the top of the hill, blades wrapped around the crimson plant. and he's so close, his body screams, but he's so far. so so so far.
and it feels like being betrayed by his own body. bc all this time, all these years, he has begged his body to open, to take, but it never did, refused to. and all it took was a look from his brother. and it's horrible horrible horrible. but it can only be him. it can only be HIM.
and the whole thing kinds drives home the fact that they are brothers. twins. they are ONE. made from the same thing. made for each other. made FROM each other.

pmmm rewatch live notes: ep 7
this episode is so good for the kyoko sayaka of it all. god the fucking tree of knowledge fruit of knowledge symbolism in this ep is SO
Kyubey is such a victim blamer
When Sayaka gets upset and ask why he didn’t tell them about the soul gems he says because they never asked which shifts the blame the them
The way he makes sayaka feel the pain of being stabbed to prove his point about teh use of soul gems is SO FUCKED
Hes trying to make them thankful to him for fucking with their souls by torturing them and saying look how bad it would have been
Mother gothel core tbh
The opening is madoka core madoka pov and the ending is homura core homura pov
I said this already but the part of the opening where madokami embraces madoka makes me literally feral
Madoka is so upset and horrified by the realities of the situation that she is unable to accept them as reality and make decisions that have any real impact (again literally me fr)
Until the end of course
Homura looks so hurt when madoka asks her why she is always so cold
Her hair shadows her eyes and she looks at her marked fingernail with disdain
When kyoko leads sayaka to the church she is a black silhouette against a yellow/orange sky
Kyoko kicks down the door to the church and crushes a beam beneath her feet
Kyoko offers sayaka an apple before trying to convince her that being selfless is not the way to go
Sayaka rejects it
Representative of rejecting the fruit of knowledge and stubbornly keeping naivety
Kyoko’s dad is lowkey just a cult leader who was really bad at it
The way kyoko holds the puppet of her dad up in the lore drop is representative of how she held him up in his religious efforts by making her wish
Kyoko also used to think of being a magical girl as a way to save the world but now she knows better
Sayaka is blank staring at kyoko during the whole story
She cannot truly listen to kyoko bc if she did she would see that kyoko is right and where would that leave her?
Kyoko says “If you wish for hope an equal amount of despair will come” AAAAAAAA
Homura wishes to be with madoka who is the personification of hope and in fighting for that she gets life after life of despair
Kyoko says that she only thinks about herself but that’s really not true at all otherwise she wouldn't be trying to enlighten sayaka
In a way kyoko is the same as her dad, preaching to others about how they can be saved only to never be listened to
Sayaka condemns kyoko for stealing the food and has a weird moral high ground about not eating them because of it
As if she thinks she’s better for not having to steal
She so blinded by her view of the world at this point that she can’t recognize the class difference and privilege that she acknowledged in earlier eps
Actually speaking of the duality of kyoko’s wish reflecting her character that kind of applies to all of them
Madoka wishes to create hope/eliminate despair/loneliness and in the process makes it so that she is forever alone and takes on everything for everyone else
Sayaka wishes to heal kyosuke and ends up not letting herself be with him since she no longer sees herself as human
Mami wishes to stay alive and ends up dying in ep 3
Homura wishes for madoka and ends up in a world without her
When hitomi and sayaka talk about kyosuke and hitomi admits her feelings they are the only ones in the restaurant
All the other seats are drawn in but empty
When madoka asks to come witch hunting with sayaka sayaka says “you’re too kind”
Mirrors what homura says often
Sayaka admits that she is failing at being a warrior of justice when she wished for a moment that she hadn’t saved hitomi so that she could be with kyosuke
The reason she has such a big breakdown is bc this isn’t just about kyosuke its about her morals that she is living for being proved wrong in an undeniable way
So what is she even fighting for?
When sayaka is fighting a witch that night she no longer cares about getting hurt since she knows she will be fine as long as her soul gem stays in tact
We only see her silhouette in black against a white background
Reflects her black and white thinking
The witch forms branch like shapes to attack her
Being attacked/hurt by the tree of knowledge
Blood on her face forms tears as she laughs and smiles widely
She says it works to detach herself and she doesn’t feel anything anymore bc her whole world has ended bc her ideals were her everything and now she can’t even have those
