I always love fanart of characters killing or otherwise hurting another version of themselves. Yes yes yes yes
90s anime women were so fucking beauitful god bless. i miss them so much
shes the cutest anime girl ive ever seen and shes in the bg for 2 seconds
i think im in love with her. bg characters 4ever โค๏ธ
since so many people are reblogging this the anime is Golden Boy ๐ its an ecchi comedy so expect the average "boobs bouncing lots of sex jokes" kind of humor but the art style and character designs are so pretty im just kind of fixated on that
this is the main lady:tm: she has a manic look in her eyes sometimes that i really enjoy
OP please elaborate
with pleasure

@elodieunderglass this is relevant to your interests.

Disappointing that the hairs on Shaunaโs antler queen outfit were mostly Mariโs, I think it would have been more compelling if it had been strands of other people too. If instead the writers had dragged out the whole hair thing as something Shauna has been doing since the beginning.ย
Like Tai cutting her hair S1, maybe a piece blows off into the wind and Shauna picks it up. Maybe we get some line about hair having memories. Maybe Tai tells her to keep it โjust in caseโ to remember her bye. Maybe Shauna rolls her eyes, but she keeps it.
With Jackie, maybe instead of (or in addition to) the ear, maybe Jackieโs hair gets caught on like a nail or something and Shauna canโt get it off, so she cuts it off. We see her look at it before she puts it in her pocket.
The baby. Her baby. Thereโs barely any hair on his head. Maybe she doesnโt even think of it. Not until later, not untilโฆJavi.
With Javi, we see her hesitate. Heโs just a kid and she has to butcher him. We see her fiddle with his locks, thereโs frost in his hair, more than with Jackie, and she has to purposely separate some of it until she gets a good tress. His hair is shorter than Jackie's too. She has no scissors, she has to cut it with her knife. It's difficult, it's sloppy, it's deliberate.ย
Maybe we see her cry. She has three locks now; three memories. Tai, who is still alive; her hair doesnโt even matter, it shouldnโt even matter, but it was the first and she canโt seem to get rid of it. Jackie, her best friend; she hated her, she loved her, she killed her and she can never let her go. It only makes sense to keep a piece of her. Javi; His is the first hair she purposely takes, just like heโs the first life they purposely take, the first human she has to butcher. A kid. A baby.ย
And what about her baby? Nothing. She has nothing from him. Even if she dug him up, thereโd be nothing. She has nothing of him. Not even memories.ย
Something in her shifts. We see her stare at people sometimes. Except itโs not really them she looks at. Imagine that scene after she tackled Mari: we see Shauna visibly angry and as Mari turns around, still with that โLโ on her forehead, we get a closeup of her hair as it whips back.
Maybe when they go to Coach that night they donโt just slice his foot. Maybe Shauna decides she wants just a piece, a placeholder for her babyโs from the adult who didnโt help her. It feels like justice, like revenge. More so than crippling him.
Maybe when she kisses Melissa, we get another close up of her with a fist full of hair. Maybe when she argues with Nat we get a scene of the same thing. It becomes a pattern. With Hannah obviously, but maybe Kodi and the other hiker guy too.
And finally, when we get our antler queen itโs not just one or two peoples hair; it's a horrific collage. Some pieces are lighter, blond, while others are brown or black. Some shorter, or longer, curlier, straighter, thinner or entire chunks, etc. It becomes clear, these are no longer memories. Theyโre trophies.ย
Maybe we see Tai tremble as recognizes her own strands.
