my enormous, passionate essay about why Folken is the linchpin to the meaning of Escaflowne. a lodestar for understanding a story told through contrast, parallel, he's integral and instructive. maybe as a fan, you'd be interested in knowing what the story's about!

(calming down. sorry. i've been reading papers + listening to caoineadh and got excited) but i'm so fascinated by this. like we have truly always been doing it different style

one of the most all time sweetest things about Cú Chulainn is one legend describes his hair as "thick and black, and smooth as though a cow had licked it"

his lived role as Special Boy is pushed on him pretty much as a punishment, a curse even. the lack of choice he has in committing villainy (tho experiencing the crushing heartbreak of consequence) comes with a simultaneous lack of choice in heroism. interesting little guy. transgender AND rosacea

there's an area of study concerned with him as Abject, a servant in service of not just the king, but Ulster and Ireland as a whole, never accepted into society, partly bc he's tormented by episodes thru which we understand he embodies Both ireland's aspirations And fears. he's also Aware of this

the táin & other tales of cú chulainn are uncomfortable in the same way greek myths are but i must grapple with far greater and more terrible truths, such as "cú chulainn was born of a polyamorous trio, named sétanta before he was to be a dog, was small and beardless and had an actual boyfriend"

ok we didn't end up playing Ace Attorney but anka asked me to watch the special one piece episode "One Piece Fan Letter" and it was sooooo good! omg, it was so beautiful, i can't believe anime can still look good and feel powerful and go fucking hog wild. and i can't believe one piece made it happen

but BEFORE that i would ever so often be like "you really haven't played it? like ever?" because it's soooo ankacore (insane cast of guys with big jokes suddenly played seriously as a heart attack.) and indeed last night they were like "i think i'm ready to see my good friend phoenix wright again"

intuitively i know you can't be everything to everyone but i'd still like to be something for someone. (i say this hypothetically while my bulb is completely burnt out)

do you ever think about berserk/miura and just cry like a baby... it's unwell of me but i relate so much to the need to tell this particular kind of story with the force of my whole life, even if it hurts. i have to get back to it. even knowing it's not the best way to live, it's been A way to live

i don't even feel the drive to kms. i should, if just because that would be a very normal feeling to feel, for me, especially about this. but like i can't stress enough there is straight up nothing here. if i keep skipping out on work though i'll simply have to—

my brain is broken ): never felt emptier than this. i don't know how i'm going to manage. i thought it was just the one story but it isn't... i tried to work on SUPERPOSE and there's nothing. dry well. scary
