Once they all got engulfed by fog and everyone faced their fears I was hoping to see Inn Sarin portraying Tong's…
I get what you’re saying about the what if. But I like the direction they went with playing his character’s fear of his own magical abilities and skill sets. His fear is being seen as a fraud because he does not trust his intuition and ability to read and interpret divination, likely based off of a couple bad experiences with unsatisfied customers in the past.
Why do some people have a problem with aroace folks saying they consider SkyNani shows representation? This is…
Thank you for pointing this out.
As a part of the aroace community, it is true that we have such little good or even accurate representation in most series. I cab name very few, if any, aroace coded or explicitly stated characters.
That’s why, yes, I have, so far, liked the characters portrayed by SkyNani. They have been such good unintentional representation of QPRs (queer platonic relationships— which are often intense platonic bonds that asexual and aromantic people have with one another, for those who may not know this).
I even wish there were more pairings (both bl and gl) that would be willing to play characters that are asexual/aromantic/aroace in coding or explicitly stated. Maybe in the future there will be (but I don’t see it being any time soon since aphobia is so common, even in the broader LGBTQ community’s online spaces). Here’s to hoping.
Okay, just finished the ep. My favorite scene was the one where Niran and Pete were standing in a grassy, secluded area, listening to and feeling the strength of the breeze as it came and went by.
To me, this scene is about the nature of impermanence and how everything in this world can be changed or managed with the passage of time. Humans and their memories tied to their emotional states are fleeting, but so is the pattern of the wind that rustles the leaves of the trees differently with each gust.
It was a beautiful metaphor for Pete’s anger ebbing and flowing; and how the more he tried to control or suppress his anger, instead of connecting and using it to his advantage, the more the feelings and the power of the demon would control him/take his agency away.
This conversation was handled in a way that exceeded my expectations, and it’s probably one of my favorite scenes of the series so far. This episode may be my favorite of the series so far (though episode five may just surpass that just based on the end cap).
I was wondering why Dao kept hinting at DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder) in the killer for the first half of the series. And then suddenly Pleng’s amnesia goes from just amnesia to trauma to potential OSDD (Otherwise Specified Dissociative Disorder)??? It seems kind of a long-shot plot point that relies on existing negative stereotypes about this category of trauma based disorder. I just think the subject of OSDD/DID was not handled as well as it could have been and was more of a throwaway plot point in this series.
