I feel so conflicted because on one hand, Doris really seems to care about Broccoli, but she also doesn’t really understand that surface level comforts and platitudes aren’t what Broccoli needs right now. They feel powerless. It feels strange that Broccoli wants to be punished, but I think the phrase “actions should have consequences” can also be interpreted as Broccoli feeling like nothing they do matters. Just compare how real Doris is acting with how she did in Broccoli’s dream. There, she consoled Broccoli without downplaying their situation. Here, it feels like she’s trying to brush it all under the rug. You are so good at pretending…

I might be projecting but I completely understand Broccoli wanting to get punished. For them, not only did they stay for months away from the Void, but they also harmed the pink axolotl lady in the process. For Lady Doris though, that is nothing because the dimensions are not real for her. They are only "snowglobes with different aesthetics". That still does not diminish the pressure put on Broccoli by their mission and the mental anguish derived from it. Their life has been full of high stakes these past few months. So obviously, for them, the pushback should be just as strong. This is true for the real world: when you perceive something as important, you expect consequences to hit just as much. I have never been punished as a child, but I still expected it for any sort of "misbehaviour". Hell, I remember putting myself into the corner for something that I can't even remember when I was at around pre-school age. I still expect anger and some sort of hurt inflicted onto me for being late in my studies. That seeming lack of consequences does not mesh well with the psychological pressure from failing at something important, especially with how TV often dealt with such topics.
I don't think I've ever seen this disconnect portrayed so well before and it hurts so much. Poor Broccoli just doesn't know what the hell is supposed to happen now. Anything goes, except for "nothing"
I absolutely feel the arrow key troubles, lol
That’s a really good point, imagine the cognitive dissonance and anxiety Broccoli is going through.
Augh the fact that the only reason Doris wanted the rift sewed is because it would look bad while broccoli was so stressed and she accidentally hurt people because she thought it was so important...
This normality that Doris wants to convey, as if everything were fine, even though she knows that it's not the same for Broccoli... This is all so strange, the relationship between the two became more and more distant and confusing as the comic progressed.
Partly because broccoli is becoming more of a person, learning more, and thinking for herself more.
*themself
HAVENT SEEN HER IN SO LONG.... Just as Unsettling as Ever...... if not more so...... and it's clear how much more uncomfortable broccoli is with her..... neither truly understand eachother, and one refuses to believe she does not understand...... ooghh The Narrative
sits down on the ground. lays down. stares up at the ceiling. lady doris… lady doris……… oooughhhh… why…
i feel almost annoyed with her and yet. sorry for her. sorry for broccoli as well of course but just as sorry for lady doris…
It really is like Lady Doris is physically incapable of understanding what’s bothering Broccoli, even if she’s trying to
