@sam_bourbon it's such a shame!! she's such a delightful character and is very interesting,, but any analysis outside of (more often than not Overtly Misogynistic) sexualization or (frequently Also Misogynistic) girlbossification is just not given any motion at all.. breaks my heart
@sam_bourbon we're idv fans.. we treat demi like well adjusted normal woman who exists to be eye candy for random het ships and to be used as a gotcha in arguments,, we're idv fans we downplay sam's role in the narrative and either pretend he doesn't exist or attack all of his fans biweekly
@sam_bourbon see like the matter of sam's heavy implications of being trafficked into the organization himself is so important to me and it's a shame it's overlooked!! especially when this is in line with other organization members(see: evelyn, alice, basically all of the faro ladies) as well
@sam_bourbon the way both bourbons are treated in completely different ways and yet both common versions completely gloss over important details and lose any and all nuance in the process. like Wow that's crazy. wish more people invested in their themes outside of surface level
@sam_bourbon people truly underestimate just how stunted and traumatized both of these girls r,,, and how they continue to look forward despite it all,,, the derosses and bourbons being mirror images of each other(with the bourbons pushing their dynamic to the extreme) is so important to me
