my skip opinions are all controversial and so correct but probably only to me. for instance i dont mind the symbiosis concept coming up only at the end because in universe i think there's a degree of crunchiness to how the gang only worries about brain slugs taking over people when they're making them do horrible things (as opposed to skip who's an outlier amongst his people) and they can't extend a worry abt autonomy towards norman bc skip HAS been such a meaningful addition to the crew + played a huge part in helping them retake their own lives. you regain your autonomy, helped by a being possessing your abusive boss. it's a bit selfish and messy and i think it fits well in the setting and would serve as a great point of discussion in the season 2 we know is going to happen. my second is that i haaaaaaaaaate norman/skip as a ship because i fundamentally, 1000% believe skip is aroace and i think the venom movies have just poisoned your minds

#something something the narrative slowly learns alongside skip about the horrors of parasitic brain sluggery. or whatever.#would the narrative be more coherent if skip learned symbiosis earlier? yeah. but i don't hate the way it is and i think there;s an #interesting story level merit to it.#skip takamori #d20 #aso #i know that the gang canonizing norman as a worse person is a result of 'dnd people dont want to think abt the moral implications'#but like. a) very few dnd campaigns can be exu calamity. i think eftbk esp shows that 6 people at a table together #want to feel good about being together and their characters being friends. b) norman is funnier conceptually as a result of this #me when i'm a bad person but a brain slug took over me for a while and i realized my errors (brain slug also realized his errors too)#wrote all this and forgot to justify my claim why i think skip is aroace.#Well basically it's canon that if he fucks he dies and the universe explodes. also im aroace and i like him. hope this helps.#first part of this post is serious second part is not btw. i do have actual real reasons for disliking norman/skip outside of my hc but #this post is already too long and i don't want to be a hater
