(discovering in her 20s "romantic jealousy" is a thing that real people feel irl and not exclusively a cliche fictional construct found in romance stories) Sunday: this desire to possess, which transforms human bonds into property, is another illusory cage produced by our society & sign of man's estrangement from humanity, wher Wonweek: jfc girl

[while still on bad terms]

Aventurine, sarcastically(?): mock possessiveness You're mine.

Sunday: (“Private property has made us so stupid and one-sided that an object is only ours when we have it – when it exists for us as capital, or when it is directly possessed, eaten, drunk, worn, inhabited, etc., – in short, when it is used by us. Although private property itself again conceives all these direct realisations of possession only as means of life, and the life which they serve as means is the life of private property – labour and conversion into capital. In the place of all physical and mental senses there has therefore come the sheer estrangement of all these senses, the sense of having. The human being had to be reduced to this absolute poverty in order that he might yield his inner wealth to the outer world.”)

Sunday, coldly: pitying smile Thank you.

no one: nobody: absolutely none: ???: what if The Picture of Dorian Gray was about dialectical materialism and it's literally the most perfect thematic and narrative parallel imaginable to *check notes* modern China?

"Sons are transformed into fathers, fathers are transformed into sons; women are transformed into men, men are transformed into women. Such transformations cannot take place directly, but, after marriage, sons and daughters are born; is this not transformation?" (Ena "Hanunue" the Order, 1958)

... wait, wait. hang on. if:

Sunday's arc in canon is partly about her moving on from Sundayism -- formerly Sunday's unique branch of Revisionist Orderism (not a very practical one. I mean, it's already debatable how Marxist Orderism is, but if Orderism is already not Marxist enough, then Sundayism took it a large step further and became extremely un-Marxist by taking after the un-Marxist aspects of Orderism while leaving out the Marxist aspects of Orderism);

and that development was partly shown through Sunday temporarily taking on the form of a woman while in disguise as a wanted fugitive;

which, as a plot element, very well might've been a reference to the "Ena" quote above (it's extremely likely because the entire Penacony arc references the exact same text so heavily)...

...

Sunday's canon growth arc being transfem-themed IS actually sort of verging on the intended point all along?

gacha unit idea: cute girl who fights with the power of communism. she has aesthetics themed after socialist motifs (e.g. chains or equivalent, stars, etc.), draw power from her own manifesto or glowing-like-sunlight quotation book, and summons the power of the masses to guide you. oh wait, this already exists,
