#since its nearing halloween i started rereading more of junji ito's works
#and rather than being scared i feel really sad whenever it ends
#especially concerning gyo's and remina's endings
#like i know he's inspired by lovecraft so theres the whole cosmocism thing he's got going
#but like when the protagonists go through all that shit in the story
#and they survive somehow and it just kinda has a scene where it pans out
#and it shows the character from a far shot overlooking the chaos in gyo sitting beside his dead gf
#or a far shot of remina stuck in a space shuttle alone with strangers in an empty universe
#i don't know like it's so fascinating but also really sad and dreadful
#in an existential crisis sort of way
#it makes me feel bad for the protag bcuz they're so fucking small and helpless and they can't do shit about it
#and they're gonna have to live with how the universe is just chaotically fucked forever
#and that they won't ever get to live. feel. or be the same ever again because it doesn't matter
#ultimately they don't matter at all because the disasters don't care about them and it makes me wonder if the universe cares at all
#hooo anyways thats a doozy to think about but i genuinely love his work
#i find some of his work really funny even if its not meant to be that way though
#like the human chair where the girl gets a mysterious chair which ibviously has a guy hidden inside???? ??
#but they give it to her anyway??? and like.?? u can see the fucking bulge where he's hiding in the back omygod
#whats the guy gonna do when she rips the back open????? he did not think that through smjfnakfk
#*shit ive thought abt it some more and i thoght maybe thw endings could signify hope in some way
#that humanity can still persist even through gruesome horror due to sheer will to just live
#and instead of nihilism it can just be that u know. people can find a way to keep going because they want to matter
#even if nothing seemingly doesn't
