I don’t care what ya’ll say
To me, The Mandela Catalogue’s themes will ALWAYS be about determination in the face of adversity
Fuck even HOPE in the face of adversity
To me it’s about the human spirit, will and fortitude- what it means to be human without actually having to be human
fighting with EVERYTHING you’ve got for a better end goal
the main cast (Thatcher, Adam, Sarah, and Evelin) all represent such such vital things on what it means to be human (even if- like a I said- you aren’t technically “human”)
between all of their respective fortitudes, the kindness, empathy, and care of Sarah and Thatcher, the sheer curiosity and bravery of Evelin and Adam. Trying despite it all (all of them), caring about someone despite they’re behavior (Sarah and Evelin), reaching for a near IMPOSSIBLE goal and never giving up (All of them), standing right before your trauma, before your triggers and from your horrible past that you can not out run, and choosing KINDNESS, to see the hurt kid (to you) before you as that and only that, not for what he’s done (as a wanted individual), not for what he is (and had no say in), but as a victim, just like you (Thatcher)
I don’t understand how people can act like TMC is one of those shows where everyone sucks/is an asshole/ [anything like that]
the kindness of the characters are very plaining RIGHT THERE- ESPECIALLY for Thatcher and Sarah
And I WILL bring up (proper) contextual evidence for this if you ask
I could write a TEN HOUR video essay on them I am NOT joking
to me, it was NEVER about the alternates, or the world building, or any of that “oooo that’s scary” factors, but the CHARACTERS, and to me it always will be
