So if Anna’s cannibalism is canon how far do you think she took it? Like did she only eat soldiers that came into the forest or did she drag bodies back to her cabin after raiding villages? And what’s worse, did she eat the families of the little girls she took captive? And what’s worse, did she try and feed them to aforementioned little girls? (It could explain why so many girls died in her care, assuming they knew it was their families and refused until they starved) And what’s worse, did Anna bury the little girls after they died or did she eat them too cuz she doesn’t wanna waste meat? And what’s worse, if she did then what did she do with her mother’s corpse? Like did she just leave her in the woods? Did she dislodge her from that elk? If she buried her then did she dislodge her and then bury her or just bury her with the elk? Or is she just that desperate not to waste anything and ate her mom and that elk? Fucked up thoughts but I’ve been thinking about this shit for weeks
go read my psychoanalytical essay on arkham asylum a serious house on serious earth boy. go read it. it has a fun surprise at the end
i feel like seriously describing junji ito's horror works as simply "wouldn't it be fucked up if this happened" is dumb because it's such a vague description that most other horror works can also be described as that. For example:
"Wouldn't it be fucked up if your house suddenly started creating new rooms and changed its dimensions on you?" (House of Leaves, specifically The Navidson Record)
"Wouldn't it be fucked up if the doors, windows, and your parents suddenly disappeared out of nowhere?" (Skinamarink)
"Wouldn't it be fucked up if a clown in a sewer started killing kids?" (It)
among others.
Not to mention, most of Ito's works do have deeper meaning to them, specifically targetting japanese culture. This video touches on his shorter works, but even his larger works have metaphorical meaning.
Junji Ito describing his mindset on writing Gyo as "man it would suck if sharks had legs" is real funny, but it's also critiquing Japan's war crimes in WWII; the origin of the "legs" being from World War II when the Imperial Japanese Army was trying to create biochemical weapons cannot be a coincidence. Hellstar Remina is about a hostile alien planet, but it's also an allegory of fans turning on a girl because of something beyond her control, reminiscent of idol culture. Hell, even Uzumaki, probably one of his greatest "WTF" horror works, is also about a pair of teenagers being unable to escape their hometown, unable to expand their horizons in the outside world. they just keep going in circles, unable to escape.
I don't know, at this point describing Ito's works only being "wouldnt it be fucked up if this thing happened" is starting to feel like "the curtains are blue because the author likes the color blue" but like. for horror
This is a reminder that ICWA, the Indian Child Welfare Act, is at risk.
This act was created to stop cultural genocide. Until the late 1900s, Native American and Alaska Native children were routinely kidnapped and placed in residential schools and white families, where they faced abuse, forced assimilation, and sometimes murder. ICWA was passed in 1978 to stop this by allowing tribes to control the foster and adoption placement of Native American and Alaska Native children.
However, the SCOTUS is hearing a case that could overturn ICWA. This would not only endanger children and allow cultural genocide, but it would endanger tribal sovereignty since it would deny sovereign tribes the rights over the placement of their own children.
The decision is expected in March. Please stand up for the rights of Native Americans and Alaska Natives.
Spread the word about what is happening. Don't let this get swept under the rug. Post about it. Tell your friends and family.
Sign petitions.
Write to representatives.
Reach out to local tribes to see what you can do to help.
Protest.
And if you can afford to do so, donate to Native American and Alaska Native organizations like the Native American Rights Fund, the Lakota Law Project, the National Indian Child Welfare Association, etc.
