so we’re all familiar with the little animations that happen during important romantic scenes
but let’s talk about Issac. Issac spends most of the season confused about his sexuality and feeling that something is wrong with him.
When he discovers asexuality at the art school, he gets the leaf animation we’re used to seeing for the couples. When the art about crush culture is being explained to him, Issac can see that the artist is proud of being asexual; eager to explain his identity to a stranger viewing his piece. He is overwhelmed with the fact that he not only isn’t broken, but that his sexuality is something someone could be so proud of having.
The leaves still represent love, but instead of romantic love, it’s self love.
I know we all talk about how great Tori is at the chaotic joint family dinner from hell, but we don’t talk enough about Nick “golden retriever” Nelson losing his absolute fucking mind.
