A couple of thoughts over episode 17
Mick: *visibly struggling to get through*
Kuro: hold un lemme just- *picks him+pack up as if he weights nothing and puts him on the other side of the portal*
Looking at the harpy so unimpressed, both have seen way worse.
Mick disgusted as Kabru eat monster eggs, meanwhile, Kuro seems to want to have a bite. No thoughts, only food.
Daya's eyes reveal <3<3<3<3
Chilchuck laying there like a ragged doll. Just. Yes.
Holm's face in the corner. His soft aah hair. He is like: "it's ok now, you can revive"
Daya feeling nauseous after going through portal just like Namari and Holm looking (probably worried) at her.
"Was she hurt? No good if she was, I can't revive her here... Oh, no, wait, right, she gets like this after a portal, its normal."

another unfriendly reminder: at Maigu Ridge, the sex is not what killed Shen Qingqiu. AFTER the sex, when Binghe was coherent again, Shen Qingqiu started drawing the excess demonic energy out of Xin Mo himself. and once Binghe realized what he was doing, they destroyed the sword together.
did we forget "'Dying together' also included a 'together.' It didn't seem that bad." ????

there’s a question to be asked i think about to what extent “getting out” can be conflated with “being saved” in this show, and what freedom actually means to any of these characters.
like you can argue that shiv saved ken by voting against him on gojo, but what if your intent behind saving someone is to inflict a worse punishment than if you’d just left them trapped? can a child weaned on poison survive on milk, or are you just sentencing them to a death by inches, starved of the only thing they know? and if you save someone specifically because you know that being saved is the worst thing that can happen to them, is that kindness or cruelty? at what point does a good thing become a malicious act?
and you can say that roman is finally free, but what exactly is he free from? the company? his father? does unlocking a cage mean saving a dog, or are you allowing him out on the street knowing there’s a kill shelter nearby? if the driving anxiety behind roman is that he’s an idiot and a failure—that he’ll never amount to anything, and trying will only lead to pain—and he’s finally cut loose once all of those anxieties have crystallized into cold hard fact in his mind, what has he actually escaped from? if the cage is in your mind, is it even possible for somebody else to unlock it?
the fundamental truth of a tragedy is that even being saved can be a death sentence, if the characters are incapable of escaping the thing doing them the most harm (themselves and their childhoods)

Can we like. Stop projecting modern day western class discussions into mdzs. Or better yet stop talking about class altogether since so many of you are clearly ill prepared for it.
I love mdzs for how complicated and different it is from what I'm used to and seeing all of that get whittled down into the same old tired money/power = bad when it is so much more than that. It's a completely different system and culture. Western capitalist critiques isn't going to cut it people.
