Why does Niffty have one large eye?
(Related post of why she may be short.)
(TW: early ones below cut (#s 3 and 5) mention domestic abuse and lobotomies.)
1. She had one eye while alive.
2. Because it makes her design cute to just have one really large eye.
3. Her husband abused her, she got a black eye and she snapped and killed him.
4. The seraphims have to take some eyes from random demons so they can maintain their large eye collection, Niffty was just one of the randomly chosen ones.
5. She had a lobotomy when she was alive, thus her eye and needle obsession
6. So she can easily look away from the mess than is the hotel when it gets too much.
7. So she can’t wink. Because that’s too much power.
8. She does have two eyes, the second one is just behind her head and covered by her hair.
9. Or it’s on her stomach.
10. Or her elbow
11. Or her foot.
12. She had a hyperfixation with cyclops as a human.
13. She just wanted one!
14. Her vision was shitty in life and this was how they made up for it
15. So it’s impossible for her to find contacts/glasses that fit.
16. So it’s even scarier when she stares into the void/your soul.
17. Niffty is a doll made by Alastor, when creating her he only had one abnormally large sized button. He figured it was the best he could do.
18. Angel used up all the eye budget on his tiny little eyes.
19. Alastor got hungry once.
20. Husk gambled it away once. This was her replacement.
21. The eye is where she keeps all her power. It’s large but having more than one may destroy the world.
22. So she could match Vaggie and Cherri!
23. It’s not an eye. It’s roomba on its side.
24. So people can see the bloodlust in her eye before she kills them well.
25. It’s not an eye, it’s a portal to another dimension. To OUR dimension. Run.
26. It’s connected to Alastor so he can spy on people.
27. Because Big Brother is watching
28. There's actually two Nifftys, one eye for each. The second one is still loose. ( @wazzi2ya )

I know most of the fandom is enthralled by how the relationship between Andrey and Goncharov develops (and I am too! it's a beautiful film, with a compelling power dynamic!), but I really think we need to talk more about Ice Pick Joe.
and more specifically, we've gotta talk about his ice pick, and how he uses it.
it's implied that he's killed a lot of people with that ice pick, but only one of those deaths is shown in the film. it's a hard scene to watch, and some people might want to skip over it, but I think the brutality is part of the point. there's a reason that it's played out with such excruciating detail.
see, ice picks are used as weapons all the time in movies, usually with a stab to the throat or ear, leading to a quick but bloody death. but in Goncharov, the scene is played out slowly, with Joe tying Amarro to a chair before almost carefully putting the pick through his eye socket.
sound familiar to anyone? it should. for a lot of reasons.
Amarro Fiamberti was the name of the first psychiatrist to ever perform a transorbital lobotomy. it was only due to his research that Walter Freeman was able to come up with his own lobotomy technique: one involving an ice pick.
Walter Freeman died in 1972, just months before Goncharov went into production.
and then there's the fact that Joe's ice pick is stolen (where did you steal it from, Joe? from whose operating table?) and the implications that he has his own struggles with mental health (the mention of his sister's murder, the humor he uses as a coping mechanism, the camera angles that give a sense of unreality to any scenes that are from his perspective).
I don't think any of that is an accident or a coincidence.
in my opinion, Ice Pick Joe's story is a tale of revenge - not against someone who wronged him, but against a medical procedure that wronged thousands of people.
and murderer though he may be, he's still my favorite character.

tired of everyone on here reducing icepick joe down to haha funny stabby man
like i DO like the jokes and memes, don't get me wrong, but like
there's SO MUCH to his character and he really does tie into goncharov's main themes
like. we're told early on the he was put into a mental institution as a young man due to his breakdown and inconsolable grief at losing his older brother giorno (who was his only living family and basically a father figure to him!)
wherein he was mistreated and was HEAVILY IMPLIED to be scheduled for a lobotomy before he escaped. (in fact, some interpretations say he actually received and survived the lobotomy, citing his manner of speaking and his lack of impulse control. but that's a whole separate discussion because i can honestly see both sides)
and then he turns to a life of crime because that's basically the only option he had left, after being deprived of so many opportunities in his youth (and the fear of being caught and involuntarily institutionalized again)
and him eventually leaning into the role of "violent madman" that the world thrust onto him for showing signs of mental illness in a way that was nonviolent, but was loud and inconvenient and impossible for those around him to simply push away.
and him taking his rage out at the same world that not only killed his brother but forced him to undergo years of psychiatric abuse and basically dehumanization
(like seriously, how do SO MANY people miss the connection between him using an icepick as a weapon and the concept of an ICEPICK lobotomy)
which. yknow. ties heavily into the film's theme of people being pushed to society's margins and forced into a life of crime, instead of given the help they desperately needed
and then like.
his fucking death scene. he tries to put a stop to the cycle of senseless violence, taking the fall for andrey, telling michailov that *he* was the one who killed luciana
him kneeling down and allowing michailov to bash him through the skull with his very own icepick. it's more lobotomy symbolism; dying from the very thing he spent his whole life running from. further driving home the film's themes of repeating cycles and futility
and then, to drive it all home, that sacrifice didn't even end up stopping the cycle of violence! because andrey viewed joe as basically an older brother (mirroring joe and giorno) and tried to get revenge on michailov for killing joe.
like. come on.

She's a total delight, she's effervescent, she's kind to animals and children, she's a master of the sword, and she does not have the intellect you’d ordinarily find in a sandwich or an orange.

Whoever is behind the social media account of "Her" is casually asking when a woman will be lobotomized. If you have any familiarity with the deeply homophobic and sexist history of lobotomies, you'll know why that is a truly chilling threat.
How could anyone, much less an app designed for lesbians (not that it is anymore), ever use a lobotomy as a casual threat or joke against a woman?
How, when in France, Switzerland, and Belgium, over 80% of patients who received lobotomies were women? How, when the majority of lobotomy patients in England and the US were women? If I had statistics for other countries, I guarantee the pattern would be the same.
How could you casually joke or threaten someone with a lobotomy, when it was used as a forcibly applied "cure" for people in the LGB community? And in the same breath, call yourself an app for women, especially lesbians?
How?
I wouldn't wish such a thing on my worst enemy.
