giggling so much rn i love it when things i've been thinking & connections i've been saying exist are explicitly laid out on the page to be eaten. hell yeah family-property-war-nation-maternal icon nexus!! love everything to do with you!

"as my kin... as symbols of my horrors." the horsemen have such interesting engagements w. the family unit vav power: makima artificially constructing the Nuclear Family for denji, & now yoru (in contrast) relying on blood, on what intimately binds you. if you think about it there's something to be said here about how makima's method of control crouched upon *creating* relations of inequality, re-asserting the family onto various un-family molds. & yoru's draws upon her own powers of relationship *through property*: the existence of ties as such that she makes use of. kiga hasn't really dug into this yet but this does make her Overt reference to sisterhood among the horsemen more colourful: & how her marriage cult essentially reproduces the fundamentally violent (heteropatriarchal) family unit en masse among its children...!

all this adds so much flavour to the comparison of yoru & the crumbling statue of liberty. figurehead of the nation-state, patriotism conjured through apparitions of family — violable wives & mothers & daughters, the (universal) [female] nation-icon's martyr sons, justifying war through warriors!!!
