my feelings was that the hostages were always symbolically the black parade - as in, a suggestion of what could be being done to them & the violence of the dictatorship - but this directness is in response to the rebellion. i think this show is very metaphorical but also the IMPLICATIONS aaaaaauugh

They tried to make a 4,000,000 reál game with 400,000 in their bank account.
They thought they could bridge the gap with pure willpower and imagination.
They couldn't.
YOU — I could have bridged the gap.
VOLITION [Impossible: Failure] — No, you couldn't have.
1. - What do you mean? I totally could have.

i think doing art full-time at university has demolished my drive to want to do it for fun. i've picked up other hobbies to relax, and to do everything to avoid picking up a pencil when i'm bored, because nowadays it just feels like Work and not Fun. i don't even know if this needs fixing
