why is twisted wonderland like "i am going to ruin your life maybe destroy your worldview a little bit <3 i am going to make you get attatched to these ridiculously named anime boy versions of disney characters and then watch them go through every trauma imaginable that keeps getting progressively worse and more complex as we keep going. i am going to fundamentally change you for better or worse and you will never be able to watch a disney movie again without thinking of me. i am going to make you watch as these awkward teens navigate through Evil Highschool and you have to find Your place in it, knowing fully well that, at the end, after all of that, you will leave all your friends and return to your own world alone again" but also "omg hey girl do you want to see your babygirl as a bunny or a plushie perhaps? say yes"

I've been thinking about the puppet play we see during episode 5 of Blue Eye Samurai. I'm still watching the show, but I was thinking about how it's such a good narrative tool that's doing so many different things. In the first half of the tale, Mizu seems to be represented by the ronin (being represented by a man acknowledges how she's had to live as one most of her life) on his quest for vengeance but then she seems to be represented more by the bride after Mizu marries and a direct visual parallel between her actual life and the brides transformation into an onryo is made to show how Mizu could have left her vengeful path behind but she was thrust back into it and she became the monster everyone told her she was. But then it can also be understood where Mizu is represented by the ronin even after her marriage and the bride is instead her battle with what kind of life she will lead, one of peaceful domesticity or of vengeance. The bride could even be forshadowing for something further on in the season that I haven't seen yet.
And then it's revealed that the audience is the shogun and his family/guests which now includes Akemi, someone who was directly affected by Mizu's vengeful quest and she has no sympathy for the bride character even with the context that she did not want the onryo path.
It's just such a good storytelling tool and I'm sure there's more meanings to draw out of it that I haven't thought of

things from Monster that keep me up at night, part 511: we didn't see the full foster care story of Karl Neuman as told to Johan when they were on the rooftop, a story that made Johan cry

I'm watching a playthrough of FFVII by a streamer/youtuber I really like (death_unites_us/4-8Productions) to remind myself of what happens in the OG as I go through Rebirth, and this line feels very important given holy seems to have turned clear in the main timeline. I already picked up on that, but I forgot about this specific point of the White Materia turning green on activation. I'm definitely going to keep this in mind!

I’ve gotten most of the way through totk (i think) and I’m pretty sure at this point the sages are never going to get names/face reveals
like before the game’s release I didn’t want the champions to return because they died a hundred years ago and their spirits are at peace now they don’t need to be brought back for some plot contrivance
but in comparison the sages preform the same narrative role (warriors from the past who fought ganon and are now passing on their powers to help the future generation suceed this time) yet they’re such a downgrade to the champions. Like at this point I’d rather have beloved established characters return then have them replaced with lackluster characters who don’t even have names
