見ぬが花

Obi-Wan Kenobi & Padmé Amidala mourning Anakin Skywalker

Art reference:  Bela Čikoš Sesija - Mourning of Christ

Of course here he means because they’re hitmen, however this is also a struggle for gay men in general, and the queer subtext message feels pretty obvious to me

Especially when it comes right before that scene that looked like a wedding qldkmjfqsmfsq

And let’s not forget Miri’s drawing, it ALSO looks like a wedding

Is it still even SUBtext at this point?

edit: let’s me remind you of the anime director’s own words in an interview

They were the exactly the same thing just diffrent timelines

The same blonde who wants to be free with difficult responsibilities and abusive and oppressive parents

The same child comes from middle class with parents who owns restaurant/bakery and wanted to be fashion designer also has a obsessively crush on blonde

Plus +

The same dyed hair character does everything for their love interest but knows they don’t love them they love the blondie and watching them be together instead being mean and jealous
