I am.... speechless. Every word of this plot, I can't process it.

thinking of danielle shiva baby even after all this time still makes me sick… you’re 22. you don’t know what the fuck you’re going to do in your life. sex for money feels like the only out. you miss your childhood best friend. you don’t think she gives a fuck about you. you’re the black sheep of the community. you’re bisexual. almost everyone you grew up around is older than you. you’re still a child. you’re still the same awkward 12 year-old at your bat mitzvah and that’s how everyone still sees you. you don’t know. you don’t know. you just want to make your mom proud. you don’t think you’re capable of that. your childhood best friend misses you, too. you don’t know why. she’s braver than you but not by much. she knows how to twist the knife. you’re a shitty jew. you’re a shitty person. you’re so fucking lost. your parents love you. they don’t know you. your childhood best friend loves you. she knows you and it’s terrifying. you’re still 13 in the back of your dad’s van. you’re still a kid. you love her back. you’re still a child.

"We asked Sumiko Arai, the author of the manga 'The Guy She was Interested in Wasn't a Guy at All' to talk about the movies that left a lasting impression on her, and she drew an illustration based on the movie. This is about "Shiva Baby" (2020, not released in Japanese theaters)." [x]
Arai Sumiko Illustration
Asahi Shimbun Marion magazine column – January 12, 2024 [x]
--------------
I really love that illustration, but the movie sounds way too awkward for me to survive. Dianna Agron tho... Google translating my way through the interview... Agu again mentions liking LGBTQ characters being in stories vs it being THE story (kinda the way she prefers to frame the green manga in past interviews), and she also name drops liking "Bottoms" (2023) too.
