Spike goes to the mainland twice, but he only “becomes a man” once. With his father he sees killing and death as heavily bravado based, the enemy so dehumanized it’s an adrenaline inducing boy’s day. He misses most of his arrow shots and hides in an attic.

With his mother he learns there is love and memory in death, accepts that they all must die, and sees that sometimes you must kill to survive. They sleep in an open air church and his arrows strike hard and true.

With his father he leaves and returns as the child in need of protection and with his mother he returns protecting a baby and taking on the role of adult.

All of this to say is the movie shows us the stark difference between the toxic masculinity of his culture telling him that manhood is killing for fun, and the masculinity he learns from the doctor about honoring death and accepting that the only thing we have power over is love and memory.

Can’t stop thinking about Og E-Soul being “faceless”. The sheer amount of stupid situations..

I wonder how far Og E-Soul was willing to go with the whole “being a faceless hero” thing. Was it a complete secret? Did his friends or family know that he was E-Soul? Did any of his coworkers see his face?

I am getting the vibe that E-Soul was purposely designed to appear as a “classic superhero” you know. With secret identity and “I don’t care about fame I want to save people” theme going on. If that’s the case then he probably kept the secret from everyone except one or two closest people. Or maybe I’m completely wrong lmao

observation: among a certain subset of tumblr users, the term “blorbo” has become unchic, but the concept it describes is still important; and so it has been replaced with “The Character”

People like the Whole Cake Island arc for the Sanji plot, I like the WCI arc because of the wonderful tonal whiplash it gives you as an Alice in Wonderland-inspired setting with bright and happy colors and upbeat musical numbers superimposed over the most horrible scenes you can imagine 👍

Remembered something I wanted to show a friend, sent them a clip and they immediately replied with "how do you always have these scenes saved" and I had a mental cd scratch sound for a second. went to check my clip folder and...... well. fair enough. I do have 200 files of clips of various series and scenes huh
