#this is about made in the abyss

[they-them-that]

Weebs thinking media literacy is looking past the literal sexualization of children because "the plot is good" is sad and humiliating. Y'all just watch trash anime, sit down and actually watch arthouse and indie projects and tell me what media literacy is lol 🙄

So glad nothing bad has happened to them ever! Yay!!

If there's one thing I'm really kind of sad about the movie not adapting, it's this scene:

I feel it's kind of a important puzzle piece for Bodnrewd, Prushka and their relationship. While it's easy in the anime to come to understand that Bondrewd does love the children he uses, it's kind of lacking. This page is one of the few I keep coming back too when it comes to his character. He could have easily said "this is a cartridge" but instead he states this is a little girl, and what her name is. He never once denies her humanity despite her current form. And makes it clear that she's helping him, rather than just a tool to be used.

It's also interesting how this is probably the most "selfish" we get of Bondrewd, stating that he needs to see the new dawn of the abyss when it comes. But he also understands that he needs help, and is willing to ask for it. Which is a reoccurring theme in the entire series. If you help others, they'll help you. While his need for help is indeed twisted and cruel, it adds a layer and shows that he does understand human connections.

As for Prushka it did a heck of a number to her character being cut. We see here that she knew what her fate was going to be. Maybe not the total extent but she clearly was willing and wanted too do so. I think people miss that Purshka's kind of a twisted character in her own right despite her positivity. Which matches her environment perfectly. It makes me wonder how much the other children that must be at Ido front at the same time know what Bondrewd is working on.

Which leads me to this being why Bondrewd sees Prushka as special. She's a child who is willing to help him. She isn't frightened by the box, and even jumped into asking if he needed help. That would make her an incredibly special child, and the one who would push him to acquiring the blessing later on.

what's made in abyss?

manga and television show about children going on a very advanced and exciting caving trip and finding treasure and meeting strange new friends and animals, written and drawn by a man who looooooves piss and screaming and topless preteens

my for some reason unpopular opinion is that it's boring when Fitz remains unhinged levels of self-deluded and closeted actually. Why does he have to be doctor who's answer to dean winchester, huh? why would this man in his mid-thirties who has spent at least a decade traveling in time and space still have weird insane hangups about being attracted to dudes? why does that need to be the thing about the text that we all collectively think is worth taking at face value? it's boring and fucking depressing and honestly doesn't make sense when the future of humanity in doctor who is that bisexuality is the cultural default and completely unremarkable.

the reason why shonen and the best fictions rarely kill your favorite characters for good isn’t because they want to see him happy

it’s because the writers want to make him suffer more.

freaks.

It's kind of sad how much the anime did not capture how absolutely terrifying Bondrewd is in the manga. The shading and expressions this guy causes is so good. You can feel the weight he holds for these characters and the fear he easily causes.

It's also sad they cut back on so many goofy parts with him too.

A tragedy both are missing.

decided to bring an old character to help me move Nohreh's plot forward, his name is Abismal! he looks mean but he's actually a lazy, tired grump that should not be living in such shallow waters. He tried to lure and eat Nohreh but the boy fought back and broke his arm with a nasty bite... then they became friends : )
