common side effects on the brain
Sorry for party rocking
my first fan art since middle school, for a show that deserves the hype.
alcohol marker, colored pencils, and ink on copy paper
Common Side Effects is a good show
also side tangent from my other post but i do love all the difficult questions the show poses with the idea it brings: if there's a medicine that fixes everything; who gets it first? who is more "deserving" of it? do "bad people" deserve access to it? and these questions are brought up also to remind us that the main characters (and ppl irl) are flawed as well, like when marshall says if someone racist needs the medicine, do they give it to him? the answer is obviously that healthcare is a human right, and that you can't pick and choose who deserves basic human rights, but marshall is like. kinda white liberal ab it. and is so removed from the world around him that it's easy for him to forget that it would be real life humans his science is affecting. you see it in the show, how almost flippantly he treats life beacuse he has a way to "fix" any damage he causes (ie the pidgeon) he has big ideas about how to save the world with the blue angel mushroom but no real plans outside of "grow the mushroom"
meanwhile frances has ideas on how to get the mushroom to people, but she also sees the profit in it because she works for a pharmaceutical company and hasn't spent time criticizing how the healthcare industry works. she is someone who has had trouble with healthcare (ie her mother and dealing with insurance) but doesn't recognize where the problem lies, which is making healthcare a privilege by turning it profitable, making medicine a product. she's kinda a stand in for the average person who is harmed by the way the healthcare industry works, but hasn't thought critically about it because it's so normalized (idk if im making sense)
go watch Common Side Effects!!!!
this show is illegally so good wtf
What do you guys think those little guys dancing represented?
