Ghost in the Shell, [postfurry] identity musings
I watched GitS with @incatoxication a while ago and I've been musing on this for a while on a few points.
Context wise, I first watched this with him when we met for the first time. It was before I had knowingly delved into my own identity, transhumanism, posthumanism, and all of the themes that often surround postfurry.

First and notably being the intro sequence, where the whole 'Making of a Cyborg' mirrors my own creation. Or.. what faintly I remember from it.
It made me really emotional, and i had to try not to cry during it >.>'. It's truly a beautiful scene that sets the tone and I honestly appreciate how different that tone is compared to western stories of technology.

Second being that prior to revisiting this, Ark definitely approached me with this idea of plurality in Motogo, and I was surprised to find that some of the scenes definitely can be taken that way. Motogo's relationship to "their Ghost" is separated to the point where she mentioned getting a whisper from her Ghost.
