IT'S HERE. IT'S DONE.

I probably could have had it done a few weeks ago, but I kept finding little problems that only showed up after Youtube compression did its thing. Honestly there are still a few of them in there, but they only appear on full screen mode and only for a second. So I'm going to say that it's probably fine. This is my baby.

ROUND ONE: POLL #15

ROUND 1 ALL POLLS [HERE]

PROPAGANDA BELOW

Shouma Takakura/Yosuke Yamashita:

In the Penguindrum audio drama, Yamashita calls Sanetoshi's podcast/radio show and complains about a girl he is in love with, particularly about the fact that she left him and ran away. [SPOILER](Shouma running away to interfere with Ringo and Yuri) [END SPOILER]. Yamashita eventually slips and reveals that he is talking about a boy.

Galo Thymos/Lio Fotia:

NO PROPAGANDA SUBMITTED

RE:cycle of the PENGUINDRUM Part 2 - I Love You (2022)

[seasaltmemories]

Being completely honest, as much as I enjoyed the buddy comedy duo of Ringo and Shouma in the first half of the series, when others would claim they were obviously in love with on another, it always felt a bit forced, as more time was dedicated to shenanigans and some growing understanding, than like other romantic signifiers

But their relationship really started to hit in the second half even though you could argue they do less together. In comparison to her destiny plots, the most Ringo can do is lend an ear to whatever troubles Shouma is going through, but her quiet refusal to run away is probably one of the most impactful choices she can make

A key component of trauma, is how isolating it can be, there's often this fear of tainting others or them pulling away once they see the full extent of it. And especially around subjects of grief and loss, often even helpful loved ones will be ill equipped to "fix" the situation.

So Ringo doesn't try to make things better, but she stays besides Shouma as a witness, another pair of shoulders to bear the pain. It reminds me of the Death Cab for Cutie song, What Sarah Said.

Love is watching someone die

So who's gonna watch you die?
