didnt even touch on the sandra lynn stuff int he tags of the last post bcos if i talk about her im liable to explode. get behind me, middle-aged divorced woman proficient in archery
#wasnt around for sy as it aired but ive seen the remnants of the liveblogging and its so foul
#the genuine misogyny....
#saw someone claim gilear was a better parent than her and i had to turn off my computer
#i know we all love gilear and hes been tbh redeemed by comedy where sandra lynn doesnt get that
#but like. be serious.
#that tonal shift in difference of how gilear and sandra lynn are received is wicked interesting to me
#and like pre-emptive disclaimer this isnt Gilear Problematic I Want Discourse. im just thinkin thoughts here
#the way fy episode 1 gilear actively left his wife n daughter and calls her a demon even if he doesnt mean it that way
#but then fig/emily takes an interest in him and from there hes a radically different character whos just kind of. pathetic.
#im hesitant to call it flanderization because initial gilear only got like 10 minutes of screentime before wet cat gilear took the stage
#but like. in ep1 both faeth parents are shown as equally flawed and on an even narrative playing field
#which is then upset as fig latches onto gilear as a comedic force and hes not as much 'dad with tense relationship to daughter he disowned'
#as 'guy the pcs do bits with'. esp in fy he doesnt do much but let fig live in his apartment sometimes
#(and if u rlly wanna analyse u could say something abt her basically taking care of him instead of the other way around)
#this then rlly impacts sandra lynn! bcos now fig has One tense parental relationship to rest all her angst on
#and where gilear gets bits. sandra lynn really doesnt get much spotlight until the prison sequence
#and the lack of focus on sandra lynn Is lampshaded in-universe and i like the resolution
#and then u get to sy where sandra lynn gets as much spotlight as gilear but she doesnt have his comedic shield
#so instead she has the dramatic spotlight and both the story and the characters are weirdly obsessed w her sex life
#and yeah i know im an aro autist maybe i take cheating a bit lightly. but its in the same category as the 'zelda is mad at gorgug' shit
#shes made a spectacle but because shes not gilear and society has notions about sex she gets judged for it
#like something abt gilear disowning fig getting dropped while sandra lynn is scrutinised so much rlly rubs me the wrong way
#she is FLAWED that is what THE JAIL EP WAS ABOUT!!!
#she is TRYING arguably more than GILEAR but she doesnt have the absolution of rule of funny to fall back on
#i go insane. i go insane
#post not mentioning jy bcos i havent seen it. once again middle-aged divorced women proficient in archery get behind me ill protect u
