I think the queercoded villainy of The Pink Opaque has been underdiscussed (<- surprising no one I'm sure, given My Deal). Marco and Polo have breasts and skirts and beards and receding hairlines. Isabel gets her heart ripped out when she tries to walk up to Tara (the queercoded hero. the object of crush and identification for Maddy, and a key fantasy object enabling the fragile proto-lesbian intimacy that Owen gets to experience in moments like the marker tattoo scene). But Tara turns around, revealed to be Marco or Polo in disguise (the monstrousness of the queer body. the monstrousness of Owen daring to even semi-consciously entertain that lesbian identification)

oh another thing i really enjoyed on a reread is sayeons cope that her killing a child in a negated timeline doesnt count, but yesol killing her teammates in a negated timeline DOES count - sayeon is trustworthy and Moral and only kills when she knows she can reverse it, but yesol is evil and cannot be trusted (and it is infuriating that ryujin trusts her and not sayeon…) since she kills a guy and it’s For Real.
