The Only Human Resource You're Violating Is My Heart

I don't talk about kenjirou and saeru as much as I used to, but man.... guys who would literally die without each other >>>>>

the switch is now off

i feel like gregors roach traits could be read as allegories for PTSD/trauma. obviously the way he got them was a very traumatic experience, but i wanna focus on the war shit and the other genetically modified veterans we see. Like how he grows more buggy when he gets really stressed, and the more traumatized he gets the less physically human he becomes (because trauma dehumanizes you!!). and when he survives the war and tries to live a normalish life, the one thing that keeps it from happening is his cockroach arm. It won’t go away, even if he tries to cut it off, and it lashes out indiscriminately much to his scorn and resentment. like that scene in the subway where it attacks that woman seemed to be followed by mentions of the war and thoughts of it on greg’s part. I also think that the way gregor and all the other insectoid smoke war vets who turned to enkephalin (can’t say i blame them:( ) couldn’t get their lives back and were used and thrown away is like obvs a statement on how the govt/war machine/military industrial complex treats (disabled, but that’s another text post for another time) veterans. not to mention the fact that gregor explained they were operated on without their consent!! gregor and co are seen as disposable, disgusting insects who are less than human. i also think there’s something to be said about the fact that he’s a cockroach specifically. yes, they’re viewed as gross, disgusting pests but they’re also survivors. no matter how disgusting people think they are they don’t die in water and they can literally survive decapitation. also like the way trauma makes you feel so disgusting and tainted and like how your own mind and body don’t belong to you. he can’t look at him own arm/body without remembering that his own mother decided to surgically experiment on him… he consistently talks down on himself for being a roach human hybrid or whatever. he makes me so sad. the way other people treat him like he’s gross too like omfg it makes me sooo mad. he has endured so much dehumanization on so many different fronts :( i hope he has a good support system. anyways i like gregor hes a dilf cockroach milking

I'm so annoyed I can't find this one analysis post someone made on the theme of healing and stuff pre-part 3 of canto 4 where they talked about the stuff that happens with ishmael in particular... I wish I could find it the analysis was so good...

THEY ARE I think about the concept of Saeru being a good big brother to Shion All The Time

Just imagine the possibility of Azami giving him his own body and him getting attached to his stepdad and stepsister

Shion playing with his snakes…. pulling on his horns and him just having to Deal With It

AND THEN KONOHA COMING ALONG and Saeru being So Protective

Shion actually being friendly with Saeru and teasing him about things they used to do as kids

I have a really dumb modern au where the snakes are all just One Big Family and Also Azami’s Kids and. With Saeru being the eldest, imagine him walking his siblings to school… helping them with homework… confronting their bullies…

AND THEN WHEN MARRY’S BORN… Saeru babysitting… letting Marry braid his hair and reading her fairytales… and then grumbling to Shion about how Kids Are Such A Hassle even though he treats his niece like a Princess

Saeru actually having a family is a very good concept I approve

if u think abt ti too long like i do constnatly . saeru konoha and shion r all siblings . discuss.

little snuggly doodle cause i couldn’t get this image out of my head so now y’all won’t be able to either lol
