thinking about parallels between:
reno and mina
kikoru and hoshina
kafka and iharu
both are regarded as prodigies and have those underdog vibes to them, of appearing out of nowhere and gaining attention as soldiers with abnormally rapid growth and skill
reno and mina
they perform at their best when someone (iharu and hoshina) clears the path for them
they have an intense, focused attitude that both intimidates and garners respect
they both inspired kafka to join the jakdf
reno's introduction probably hit kafka hard because it reminded him of mina
this: "why did you give up on joining the jakdf? i'm the type of person to never give up on my goals, so i will never understand why you did" combined with reno's mina-coded facial expressions
reno having absolute faith in kafka v.s. mina losing her faith in him, but having it slowly restored
(and kafka being afraid to lose reno's faith the way he lost mina's)
again, both are prodigies, except molded by family expectations and what seems like a generational/ancestral affiliation with anti-kaiju defense
kikoru and hoshina
they are strongly motivated by their family, to live up to their expectations or escape them entirely
they both want to be recognised for their abilities - not necessarily by their families, as they found that respect in others
they're used to never feeling enough and pushing themselves to prove otherwise
they tease the shit out of kafka LMAO
they have the same kind of smug humor that gets on others' nerves
they might come across as stern or harsh but both look out for their comrades; leading the charge and taking on the biggest threat
kafka and iharu
they are goofy goobers
LMAO not that being my first point--
they constantly want to improve, to be worthy of standing beside the people whose strength they admire (mina and reno)
"can i still aspire to stand by your side?" and "go on ahead and wait for me!" have the same vibes
(except reno doesn't even know iharu wants that. meanwhile, kafka hesitates to talk with mina because he feels he's not yet her equal. same communication style braincell)
they both brighten up any environment they're in and can be counted on to break the tension
they get insecure about their strength, doubting their ability to catch up to others and forever in awe of those stronger than them
iharu's current insecurities mirror how kafka must've felt in the past the first time he tried to join the jakdf
they both clear the path for others (kafka does this with his knowledge of kaiju, advising his comrades on how to best neutralize them)

Wibble I don’t know a damn thing about “it” but I know you’ve mentioned it for ST analysis and I just want to say that in s1 ep1, mike goes verbatim “IT is almost here” during the dnd game. the way he said it made me do a double take so it may be worth looking into!!
me. em eme emE m Em that literally confirms it was henry stalking will WHAT RHEFHJCHDHDSNSNKDEBSMXHM EX RHAJDNEKNDMSNFN
IT IS LITERALLY HENRY. EVERH SINGLE POWRR IT HAS HENRY HAS. EM IM RATTLING YLU WHAG THE FUCK
henry and his abilities are SO heavily based off of IT, obviously very different in some ways but like the way henry curses people???
it’s the exact thing IT does when it catches people in ITs deadlights. i cannot stress to you enough how your post explaining how henry is also the mf and the dark particles are a separate thing shifted my brain because that means ALL of IT is a parallel to henry. like to do a full comparative dissection would take hours
EM IM LOSING MY MIND RIGHT NOW JESUS CHRIST THAT’S BASICALLY SAYING HENRY WAS THE ONE STALKING WILL THAT NIGHT

The thing I would be most heartbroken to lose if tumblr were the close are gifsets. Nothing recommends a show to me better than a gifset. Nothing lets me appreciate a show like a gifset. The minute facial expressions, the colouring, the set design, the dialogue, the gif maker's own twists and artistic additions, I love it all so much and you just can't get it anywhere else.
