always funny to remember darth vader is anakin skywalker. the adrenaline junkie chucklefuck who used to dive head first out of speeders and built a pod racer in his yard when he was like six is now upper-middle management for the evil empire. half of his appearances in the original trilogy are Meetings. vader spends like 80% of his time dealing with bureaucratic bullshit. status updates. team meetings. holo-Zooms. budget rundowns. anakin betrayed the jedi and caused the fall of the republic and his punishment is being CC'd on every email forever. and you know what. he would hate that. the punishment fits the criminal

I think the joy of Q Hayashida's works for me isn't just the humour and the copious amounts of gore... it's that she makes frankly horrible settings and people just... live there. Hole is attacked by zombies every year and people turned it into a festival where you can win raffle prizes. A restaurant has a toilet that opens directly into Hell and they use it to attract customers. Let's wave to the devils in the sky, they might wave back. Their worlds are so awful in so many ways but for these people this is just life. It's all good. The apocalypse happened and there is still street food and baseball. Isn't that great?
