I Feel Confined, Only Free To Expand Myself Within Boundaries.

“I feel confined, only free to expand myself within boundaries.”

— Motoko Kusanagi, Ghost in the Shell (1995)

the concept and idea of “you can always start trying to be a better person” is extremely important to me both in media and irl and i continue to be deeply deeply disturbed by the trend on this site pushing that these ideas in media are bad writing or even morally reprehensible

because theyd rather someone stay terrible or just straight up die than become a better person 

from a compassionate point of view it’s deeply distressing and from a pragmatic point of view it’s outright frustrating

it’s fucked up. 

“honestly, don’t you two read?”

Paying tribute to the late Atsuko Tanaka (d. August 20, 2024), the Japanese voice actress behind the following notable roles:

Motoko Kusanagi, Ghost in the Shell franchise

Bayonetta, Bayonetta series

Kaine, NieR: Replicant

Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn, Final Fantasy XIV

May you rest in peace, Tanaka-san. We will dearly miss your voice.
