#I also came to a realization a while back that csm and cx/gf are. actually very similar in a way I cannot really articulate

So, so many times people will say “I wish I could find a story where___” and then it’s something that is significantly present in either a) Chainsaw Man, b) Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, or c) both.

#'I NEED [insert story element here]' #like. if you were willing to watch anime/read manga and/or give dark musical comedies a chance you would have those things #I also came to a realization a while back that csm and cx/gf are. actually very similar in a way I cannot really articulate #something something power of human connection all the different ways to love someone #something something romantic love isn't the end all be all and some things are more important and also it won't magically fix you #something something fucked up ways of finding yourself #PLENTY of messy and/or unhinged female characters with Personal Issues™ #BANGER soundtracks #something something deconstructing traits/situations we usually see w/protagonists & how those things would inherently come w/psychological #issues. something something wacky hijinks and an absurd world that's also painfully real and deals with heavy subjects #but ultimately the takeaway is that it's worth it to keep going. and that it IS possible to be happy even if the journey there sucks #THEMES™ #like. don't get me wrong. these are still VERY different properties. and even if you like cx/gf I'm not sure that you'll like csm #because like. it's A Lot. even cx/gf stans would probably find it a bit weird (ESPECIALLY if they aren't anime/manga people already) #but I AM saying that if you like csm you will probably like cx/gf
