Goin' Down - Jeff Beck w/ Beth Hart
Re-reading the 2nd half of A Cruel God Reigns and I forgot how much Ian and Jeremy argued…it’s basically all they do now. Also seeing Nadia so desperate to be with Ian makes me sad 😞 girl you can do much better but you depend on that man with all your life. Seeing the parallels come to life between Greg and Ian throughout the second half with Greg always being a presence within Jeremy and Ian’s lives is not only showcase of Moto Hagio’s incredible talent at writing but is also deeply uncomfortable to watch play out especially with how similar Ian’s feelings become jumbled up when it comes to Jeremy. I think when I first read this when I was a oncoming Sophomore I didn’t read into it too much but seeing the very clear parallels between not only father and son but Nadia and Sandra too makes me feel stupid for not noticing it before. I think there’s something to be said here that Moto Hagio is trying to express and as a female mangaka probably feels strongly about on the mother and daughter relationship. Sandra and Nadia aren’t the main characters but they highlight something intriguing and important to me on how mother’s can raise their daughters to become insecure and rely on their future partners which usually are men to validate their worth. Sandra comes from a broken home and the grandma who raised her openly stated and told Jeremy that women can’t do anything without a good man and Clare always pressures Nadia and speaks down on her on how much of a fussy woman she is and how men won’t be attracted to it. Nadia herself acts in a manner to be the complete opposite of Clare yet she still takes her mother’s words to loss and puts all her soul into loving Ian. I’m glad she ends up somewhat okay at the end but man mother’s need to stop putting their daughters down! It’s such a sacred bond to me and I could never see my mom ever saying something so hurtful even though she was raised in a household where her surroundings were the same. I feel that so many insecurities in young woman come from the family and having your own parents put you down can really mess you up, just look at Nadia!Anyway that was a long tangent and I’m still not finished reading through. It’s always hard reading in Japanese since my vocab is still elementary school level but thankfully I’ve read this series before in English. I think I also always ignored the love between Ian and Jeremy? When I first read this series I was kind of unnerved at how Ian was acting to Jeremy who just went through all of his horrific abuses and I feel putting him in a position to love is something he isn’t ready for and quite frankly neither is him. But then I started thinking about what Dr. Orson was saying earlier about loving someone and seeing what love truly was. It seems obvious but now maybe I see the function of their relationship. Don’t get me wrong there’s still so much wrong with it but I think there’s a connection between the two that was required for both of them to heal through each other’s love. At least, I think that’s what she was getting at…..

Hey there, Father, I don't wanna bother you but I've got a sin to confess. I'm just sixteen if you know what I mean. Do you mind if I take off my dress? Don't know where to start, let me get to the good parts. Might wanna cross up your legs. I've got envy, I've got greed, anything that you need and I'm not above having to beg. There was this boy who tore my heart in two. I had to lay him eight feet underground. All I need is someone to save me 'cause I am going down. And what I need is someone to save me 'cause I am going down, all the way down.
