                    I'm sort of forming a thesis on this show, around utopia, basically, but it's only episode 2 and while it is incredibly rare that I am incorrect about things it does happen on occasion. Like Talentless Nana... *shudders*

                                    the show is living in a fantasy where every professor at an elite private school is a good teacher who likes their job and cares about the well being of their students rather than a random, spiteful asshole with tenure

                                      they're just going to class, and I'm tired. the only reason why I'm up is because I forgot to eat while I was working. So I apologize if the commentary is kinda dry. But I am thinking, thoughts are forming

                                          Classism is a thing it wants to do actually, which means we've arrived at the show's first ✨ political theme ✨ The classism in the show is not systemic. So far it's wholly relegated to a small handful of rich white assholes who are personally mean to our protagonists

                                                The school is loosely and transparently organized to let the writers send the characters wherever they want, whenever. It's a little jarring because episode 1 did quite a bit of show-don't-tell worldbuilding but this episode the school feels very... cardboard

                                                    They're like "here's free period where you can do whatever, and also you get to go on adventures". That doesn't feel like something a school would it, it feels like something a writer would do

                                                          actually Sage/Rosemary reminds me a lot of me and my sib, especially when we were younger and had to separate for the first times and do different things with new people. this may explain it's the core of the experience for me

                                                                      1. …in reply to @__MoBlack

Rosemary and Sage are like, the best part of the show when they are together. But they can't be together all the time, and when they're not it's got a lot less going for it
                                                                            1. …in reply to @__MoBlack

The trio that runs the school are wise, if not eccentric. Fuckin hell they're literally training to become GUARDIANS right?

The show seems to take place in a kind of utopia, where a lot of the problems that exist for us either don't exist, or exist in small degrees
                                                                                1. …in reply to @__MoBlack

They just kind of exist without any of the problems. So it reads like just sanitizing those systems in real life
