OF COURSE I MIGHT MAKE MORE SOON

im not praising it as a girlboss thing btw, it just like, grates against me So Badly when people suggest she actually loves or wants him since shes not obsessed w/ him but rather her own power and fulfillments 😭 its not appreciated enough #imo esp when it even enhances the characterization of kraust

itd be easy af to whittle down everyone in sinclair's life to be an obstacle that exists for him alone But i Like the small bits of kromer's dialogue that suggest how far she made it even outside of the pursuit for him (which only exists bc she expects power from it) & then theres demian's dream

. i have mixed feelings on the way gretchen (faust) was written but i cant elaborate on that until i reread it. she endears me greatly though

the way of expressing the critiques of the society at the time feels Really Unexpected but gubo's works are similar in that regard, just more clear i Feel since the parody of himself is Slightly more light hearted than the visceral nature of the wings + dying words (and more)

i actually dont even know how to describe it but she. imprinted on my mind Really Hard. dying words is an insane story and i say this all the time but ys works is genuinely whiplash inducing w/ the violently misogynistic language and self awareness + understanding of it

the wings actually doesnt really have Much at all about the wife (although i dont take issue with that At All, her dynamic with the mc representing japans colonization of korea was Incredible) but ys has another work that left a mark on me called dying words which Had This One Character

all the major women in wuthering heights + hlm leave a strong impression and are really good w a nice balance between being actual characters + being incredible symbols for whatever they represent and even Marie The Stranger is impactful in her own way that was humanized & not discarded

biggest yapper of all time award

pseudo father role (different by being called one and not so much because of her mother) and she fails to take on the real role when shes coerced by baochai (assisted by xiren) to have a child after their marriage. demian/baoyu both have boyish qualities while being disconnected from the gender

demian could've acted mature at an early age as a result of his mother having him take on the role of a 'father' hence the rumors about them being intimately involved and frau eva preying on sinclair in the background . Doesnt. Help. To Make it Look Innocent At All. but baoyu shares a similar-

speculating on demians life is kind Of Pointless (but i like to do it a Lot) and obv baoyus also different in a Lot of ways but its so like. To Think that demian's relationship with gender could've likely stemmed from his mothers philosophies paired with the death of his father is really interesting

frau eva has such an insane line of action and thought in source but (clenching teeth) emil sinclair i am telling you in your ear right now that you Have To start referencing her

faust telling him not to call it a dog or fox and next level observation he starts calling it a child. Ohh My God Bro. i know its more fitting to call it protective but i just Didnt Realize he had a lick of paternal feelings at All

OH MY GOD I FORGOT HER SCAR
