something really nice in ep2 is how young woo gets to reflect on her own autonomy as a woman and as an adult thanks to another woman's journey without her autism being turned into something pathetic by working on this very rich young woman's case whom she can see is not psychologically independent from her father and yet who manages to stand up to him and chose her own future and her own way to live her life and her love. young woo was clearly upset by her colleague's words that adults should be able to cook for themselves and feed themselves since her father has always been the one to do that for her (even her lunches are prepared by him) - maybe because up until that moment she hadn't really thought about what her father feeding her and her not feeding herself meant even if it's a sort of a coming of age thing for many people when you start cooking for yourself because that's it you're independent.
but she sees this woman who's very rich and who's probably never cooked for herself and yet she asks to stop the lawsuit (and she asks young woo!!!! not the ceo but the rookie) and she walks away from her father hand in hand with her girlfriend. she reclaims her autonomy, her body (because her body was revealed to her father's guests, because her body was supposed to end up trapped in a loveless marriage, because she had to lie about her tattoo and her religion), and her future and she doesn't do it by cooking for herself! and so young woo gets to see yet another way to become independent, another way to build a future with someone. she thinks she's unlikely to get married because she's autistic but she now already knows what she wants if she were to meet someone she'd like to marry, she wants to be in a partnership of equals and to not stay as her father's daughter who needs him every steps of the way. and so she brings him food (she's not cooking for herself but she thinks about feeding her father who's usually the one feeding her!) and she lets him know what she's decided for herself and her future. her own issues with autonomy are linked to her autism but her journey this episode was triggered by something completely unrelated to it and it was really nice to see her be inspired and grow because of another unconventional woman's journey. and i love the show for linking the journey of a woman breaking free of her father's authority to come out and finally chose to live her life with her girlfriend and in her own faith with the journey of an autistic woman trying to navigate the world and the law and these two women sharing something and teaching something to the other that's going to impact their futures.

Love getting into those Autism Trances where I go into a fugue state during a project and complete a days worth of work in half an hour then snap back to reality with no memory over what I just did :y

Reverse City spoilers but this guy owns my Mihile's whole ass. He doesn't even have a face but he moved me in this story so much. Sad author guy who put his entire soul into his books but also needed the courage of another human being to have the will to live. Kind of boring in his own way but he was so cool-- 'we're all sad lonely pathetic outcasts who want to see our next sunset' theme got me ok
Not to mention there's something really intriguing about isekai'ing a guy from the normal world to this alien one while the PC is from a fantasy world, so you're technically both isekai protags but reversed as well

the avior x starlight and elliot x sunshine parallels are very concerning, now that i think of it. alexa play exile by taylor swift and bon iver
• avior and starlight wanting normality and being denied it / elliot and sunshine wanting happy and peaceful scenarios and being denied it (… both by blake somehow. hello. scorpius please be good.)
• avior and elliot arranging a sky of stars with just their magic for their beloveds AND stargazing together.
• … need i say more?
• starlight and sunshine both being forms (names?) that are emitted by cosmic sources of light and luster (and both of them being connected to some sort of higher power ???? = sunshine with a deathwalker & starlight with the meridian)
• avior and elliot embodying protectiveness especially when it concerns their partners (and both of them somehow... failing to protect starlight and sunshine, even after everything)
• the memory modification discussion (although it hasn't happened to eli.... hopefully not)
• stars. dreams. traps. mazes. death. magic.
the balance series features only brachium, elliot, and sunshine as its major characters (not avior and starlight). although that said, a balance can be achieved when two things are in some sense of equality. eli and sunshine ending up just like starlight and avior would actually give another definition to the series’ title, balance, even though starlight and avior belong outside that series. all the already-canon facts aside, i’m quite certain the balance series and avior and starlight would end up being connected, seeing as the parallels and the related narrative elements are right there. let's just hope both couples end up in good places after all of this.

I don’t really want Min Woo to have a redemption arc.
Like I really truly don’t like this character. I get that he’s an antagonist so we’re supposed to dislike him but that’s not my main reason for this thought. I appreciate a good antagonist. My main reason is that he’s also ableist (sometimes so subtly you can miss it unless you’re looking). Was writing a whole piece on antagonist vs ableist but I don’t have the spoons to finish it yet.
I want him to have a downfall, to lose his colleagues, his friends and his position specifically because of his ableism, not his ambition. I would love to see an ableist get their just desserts and suffer. I want him to slip up and “accidentally” say something blatantly ableist and have the wrath and fury of the Young Woo Protection Squad brought down upon him.
Now that’s not to say I don’t want him to grow and overcome his prejudice. I would love to actually see him develop some goddamn empathy and realise the error of his ways and the harm that he, and people like him, are doing rather than remain ignorant (and worse, content in his prejudice and ignorance). But at the same time I don’t want this growth/revelation/enlightenment alone to magically redeem him. While it is great to realise you’re wrong and to change your ways, it doesn’t automatically resolve you of your past. It shouldn’t be that simple. If a redemption does happen, I want it to be a long and arduous path for him to earn his forgiveness, which ultimately he may or may not get. Sometimes you’re not forgiven, sometimes you can’t resolve your past wrongdoings and you have to live with that. Use that as additional fuel to live a better future. With only a limited number of episodes left I would much rather see it end on him working towards this than have him actually gain forgiveness after restitution in such a short period of time.
An enlightenment and growth arc? Sure, definitely, more than encouraged. A complete redemption arc? Maybe not so much.

I don’t know what’s worst, the fact that I had a dream about being on set with the danger force cast or that I was going to make a post on tumblr with pictures for you guys (read tags ab dream)
