If you ever wanted to know what my note-taking process for anime essays is, it's mostly this, except in a Google doc instead of on Twitter, and I save the screencaps to a flash drive instead of uploading them herePermalink On twitter.com
-
it's buffering hold on I will say I have had subtitles on the whole time and they haven't showed up. Other languages like French work, but I'd like to be able to watch in English with subtitlesPermalink On twitter.com
-
Okay we're back. So here's my thing right? The lack of conflict in the story makes it hard to get invested i the idea of becoming a guardian. We know Rosemary's mom was a guardian, and that being a guardian is dangerous, but we haven't been shown a world *in need of guardians*Permalink On twitter.com
-
We haven't seen poverty in any real sense, or unjust systems, no monsters invading from the north, or violent groups that threaten the innocent. We're *told* that being a guardian is deadly but not from what.Permalink On twitter.com
-
We're seeing these kids train to be guardians and I still don't know what that means. The show is explaining in very literal terms what that means (a dangerous job with a huge amount of responsibility), but not what it means narrativelyPermalink On twitter.com
-
fuck now my computer's not taking screenshots sorryPermalink On twitter.com
-
Okay so what I was GOING to say was that Rosemary is a fucking idiot, but like in the very specific way that I am a fucking idiotPermalink On twitter.com
-
at least her parents didn't yell at her lmao got emPermalink On twitter.com
-
I hate how genuinely kind and well put together he is. fuck you, bitchPermalink On twitter.com
-
So I'm realizing that a lot of these tweets have been negative but I wanted to confirm I'm having a fine timePermalink On twitter.com
-
Rosemary having ADHD is a framework within I will work for a bit more. If nothing interesting comes out of it then oh well but it feels like there's something therePermalink On twitter.com

"i fucked ur mom"Permalink On twitter.com
-
there is little relation between these two shows but my brain did the thingPermalink On twitter.com
-
I was kidding about the fucked your mom thing but he literally said she was "fierce" they fuckedOn twitter.com
-
he said "I have opinions", perfectly representing what it feels like when I see white people I don't know talking about politicsPermalink On twitter.com
-
it's not even worth explaining how the cat got like that just roll with it okay?Permalink On twitter.com
-
they fucked in high schoolPermalink On twitter.com
-
So we're getting to the scene where the dude says he's trans, which is one of exactly two HGS scenes I've seen before watching the showPermalink On twitter.com
-
whether or not it's "good" or "bad" "representation" I will table as a question for now, especially since trans people made this show and trans is something of which I am not. But in context this scene is rather interestingPermalink On twitter.com
-
Because, up until now there has been very little conflict or adversity in this world. Everything is more or less idyllic and perfect. All the adults are nice and wise. There is some amount of social stratification between rural and urban, old and new, but it's minimalPermalink On twitter.com
-
So it is really interesting to me as a decision that in a world devoid of adversity, a trans person would still have to take the magical equivalent of HRT monthly to keep the body that they want. Does this make sense? Having to split these tweets for length is annoying butPermalink On twitter.com
-
Like the chose to play fast and loose with every hardship and adversity that exists in the real world. Magic and good will fix most of the problems we would have here... with the exception of trans people, for which the medical process for transitioning is identical to real lifePermalink On twitter.com
-
we'll pin this it seems importantPermalink On twitter.com
-
very important high guardian spice hot takePermalink On twitter.com
-
is this the blood and gore unsuitable for young audiences I was warned about?Permalink On twitter.com
-
literally shaking and crying at how traumatic this gore isPermalink On twitter.com
-
her mom left school grounds without permission... to have sex. we all know it's truePermalink On twitter.com
-
LOOOL okay so this dude was an asshole the entire time and the second Sage gets a lil mad he's like "please mommy scold me too 🥺"Permalink On twitter.com
-
ooh conflict, the show needed some of thisPermalink On twitter.com
-
So I do have time for maybe one more episode before it'll get really irresponsible work-wise. I think the vibe I've sorta centered in on is something like "someone made the show they wish they had growing up"Permalink On twitter.com
-
It's very "here's what healthy relationships look like" and "here's how to deal with feeling like you need to live up to something" and "here's an introduction to being trans that doesn't immediately other you" and so on, which can explain why it feels so... squishy, na mean?Permalink On twitter.com
