GO WATCH THIS SHOW, HONESTLY IT IS SO AMAZING. 

1) Most of the cast is female. In fact only two main characters are male.

2) Both male characters take typically non-masculine hobbies. Emerson Cod knits almost non-stop and makes pop-up books. Ned is literally called “The Pie-Maker” because he bakes homestyle pies from his mother’s method. Both are shown to be very nurturing and even maternal characters. Conversely, the women? A pair of professional travelling show performers that have gritty sexual scandals the way men usually get (see the entire “Chuck’s father” storylines), a beekeeper who is the single most positive and optimistic character imaginable, and a former professional jockey- Three of four pro athletes.

3) You could very easily make the claim Ned is asexual.

4) Yes, the storyline is about romance. But it’s also about the positive side of a love story, and their only drama lies in overcoming their inability to actually share contact.

5) A very good friend of mine recommended this show to me as “Disney for adults.” I told her it was already on my list to watch because “It’s by Bryan Fuller, from Wonderfalls and Dead Like Me.” Bryan Fuller is now most known for “Hannibal.” The same camera methods and bright colours and lighting techniques Hannibal is known for? Perfected in this show, just using a different tone- The same colour methods in reverse, upping the vivid greens and yellows instead of reds and blues, which sells emotion both ways.

7) Probably one of the best examples of a modern day fairy tale possible.

This fic is a MUST READ. It picks up right after the events of The Rise of Skywalker. Slow burn, mourning Rey, world between worlds Ben. It’s still on-going but it feels like I’m watching Episode X. This fic is actually allowing me to semi enjoy TROS since I know this comes after. This is my canon now.

You will not regret reading this. Literally amazing.

They handled the subject of gender identity so well, but too bad for the reaction of the mother at the end of the episode.

Domestic violence

The dynamics of parental abuse, both mental and physical, and it’s (very realistically portrayed) long-term psychological impact on it’s victims

The social stigma attached to lone parents and so-called ‘broken families’ unfortunately still prevelant in Japan

Homophobia

Living with a disfigurement

Living with poor self-esteem and anger management issues

Bullying and social isolation

Adoption and the insecurities/identity issues that can be felt by adopted children
