the issue with sam’s bank [animation]
He’s not free, is he?
this was meant to be part of the comic dump last night but didn't quite make it in time
someone on youtube pointed out how the recent episode has the parallels of both the collector and new hexside being what happens when children don't have a good and caring adult in their lives to provide guidance and support and structure
and that's really interesting considering the show's running theme of how children shouldn't blindly follow the adults in their lives, and how adults having total authority over children is a bad thing
my childhood was full of stories that said "yeah, school does suck and your parents don't understand and people don't take you as seriously as you'd like" (albeit often in a more silly "kids rule, adults drool" type way). and those were important messages for me to hear. especially as a victim of abuse and neglect by the adults in my life but also like. as a kid in general. kids are so so disenfranchised and adultism is a real issue and it's nice that stories like that can make kids feel taken seriously
but toh doesn't stop with that message. it doesn't just say "adults don't understand", it says "and you deserve adults that DO understand. your need to be understood by the adults in your life is real." it shows not only the harms of an authoritarian adult-child relationship, but the good of a positive adult-child relationship where the adult takes the child seriously
