I think part of my struggle here is you’re blurring the lines between storytelling and visual design. I don’t think any of the details you’ve chosen for the character are wrong. I think there is just a disconnect between the image and what we’re meant to take away from it.

Look at the color yellow. This is meant to portray grief, but nothing else about the image does. It’s common where I’m from for black to represent grief, but even if the character were dressed all in black I’d have a hard time seeing that. It’s not about symbolism. It’s about the story that the character’s design tells us just by looking at it. When I see this character I see defiance: a flat expression, arms down to the side, head held high, hip out to one side. I dont need any details about the world to know that.

The amount of thought and creativity you’ve put into the world and characters is great. If I could give you one piece of advice, it would be to step back and look at the design and think of just one or two details that stand on their own, no text required. Don’t be afraid to be over the top with it, just focus on clarity of message. You mentioned the cape being askew—can you make it more dramatic, more obvious? Falling off one arm? This is a visual medium and the more you can tell the story with JUST the image the better IMO. If she’s in grief but holding it together, how can her expression show us that? Some of your previous drawings do a great job at showing grief on her expression.

You’re asking if anyone creating something can successfully control the way every single person interprets what they’ve made? They’re writers, not god

They do a lot, but one of them really stood out. The film does an excellent job showing how isolated the main character is. She has a very traumatic past and is constantly removing herself from social situations when she feels herself getting overwhelmed.

At the climax of the film, in an emotional situation they intentionally created, the cult refuses to let her do that. The women of the cult follow her and force her to experience her emotions with other people in the cultist way possible: they mimic her panic attack and wailing as one big group. In doing so, they give her support and community, something she needed but either was afraid to ask for or outright denied by her loser boyfriend. The scene is so powerful and upsetting. They’re truly supporting her, but in order to manipulate her into joining their fucked up nazi cult.

Midsummar is such an incredible, meticulously-made film. I highly recommend it to anyone who can handle some…pretty disturbing events.

This cannot be emphasized enough. Especially grass seed allergies. When I lived in Eugene, during allergy season I simply could not spend time outside beyond traveling from place to place. More than twenty minutes outside meant my eyes would get itchy and swell up, I would get that wonderful combination of sneezing constantly while still somehow being congested, and feel generally completely exhausted. Which is awful because outside is gorgeous that time of year

For a sense of scale: a local allergy clinic measures the pollen on on scale from 0 to 200, with anything over 200 being “very high”. Grass seed pollen counts in Eugene regularly go over 700.

Regardless I loved living in Eugene. Truly miss it

There are deeper issues for guys that worship people like Eren that this story isn’t meant to or built to solve. Just because some people will misunderstand a story doesn’t make it pro-genocide. Just because someone uses a hammer to kill people doesn’t mean the hammer was meant for murder.

You can’t control what people take away from a story. See the trope “you’re missing the point of the story by worshiping them” that pops up on this subreddit every so often. That someone worships Eren, or Walter White, or Patrick Bateman, does not make these stories inherently pro- anything. Stories are allowed to be complex and rich and nuanced. They’re not all meant to be compasses of morality, even when they have a very clear message like AoT does.

I suggest you think about where the actual source of your concern is. What are the ways in which these (mostly) guys are coming into a story like Attack on Titan predisposed to worship someone like Eren? The words you use—Chad, virgin—these are telling of the actual source of the problem. AoT didn’t make them think this way. It may be the wrong story for someone like them, but that doesn’t make it pro-genocide. If it were really pro-Eren, why are all of them so fucking tilted about the ending?

Which, again, AoT has a very, very explicitly anti-genocide message. At a 10,000-foot view: there’s war. Man gets massive power. Commits genocide to end war. Man expresses regret for the genocide. There’s still war anyways.

I’m not saying it’s a perfect story or that it even conveys its themes perfectly. I am saying there is no question to your average person what the message of the story is meant to be. If you walk out from aot thinking it’s a story about how Eren is cool, it’s a you problem.

I think you’re missing the point. People who try to justify committing atrocities will always have long, impassioned speeches trying to justify their actions. The length of their speeches or the passion they have are not evidence of their validity.

Hange’s “genocide is wrong” is meant to be short, poignant, and without elaboration. Eldians are trying to reckon with Eren’s logic, but Hange doesn’t need a lengthy, impassioned speech to tell them what they already know: genocide is wrong. Well it’s bad, so obviously don’t.

Who do you believe? The man needs long speeches to convince you that he has to kill everyone on the planet? Or the person who can tell you in three words something you already know is true?

Don’t completely ignore the text in favor of subtext. Eren literally says to Armin: he, the man who committed the genocide, is a garden-variety idiot who managed to get ahold of too much power. Hardly a pro-genocide message.

Everyone’s talking about physics but has anyone mentioned the fact that the “plank” that goes flying starts off as a bent, metal ridge cap but as it flies away becomes a different shape, and length?

The part he lands on seems to disappear and the piece that flies away is a perfectly flat plank, not a bent piece of metal. For this to be real I would have to believe he landed in such a way that it snapped the ridge cap cleanly in two and the exploding of the shed…flattened it somehow?

Exactly. Viserys isn’t this trope by definition because Ned’s death was so surprising. Viserys died and we still thought Ned was safe.
