there are 2 kinds of people in the world
those that are fascinated by lighthouses
and people who aren’t nerds :clair-what2:
but the christmas lights on the gallery are a nice touch!
Many people who are said to be lazy really aren’t. They have executive dysfunction. That is, they want to do stuff, but they have mental barriers that tell them they can’t. It’s possible to recover from it, or so I’ve been told. I’m still struggling with it. If these two are in headspace, it feels a lot like this at times.
To be clear, I’m not a doctor, I’m a patient with a diagnosis, which may not be yours even if you have similar symptoms to min. Finances permitting, seek professional help rather than taking advice of Internet randos. Good luck, good health.
(SPOILERS AHEAD!)
the lighthouse seems to have a cross-shaped structure at the top, or a halo, or both. this ties in with clair being an angel, and perhaps is meant to show how christianity is used as a tool to make society function by getting people to work. note how chloe’s refusal to work for clair (along with her general mischief and apathy) coincides with her being a demon
i interpret clair’s attempts to help chloe as saying that using christianity, or perhaps religion in general, to resolve individual or societal problems is naive and ultimately harmful . at the same time, it makes the much-needed caveat that such a thing is ultimately done in good faith (pun retroactively intended). this message is especially evident considering how clair is trying to help by *creating a false world,* albeit one that is reflective of the real world
similarly, the humanization of chloe (a demon) is likely showing how the supposed sinners of this world are not monsters. instead, they are merely victims of their circumstances who are in need of help and companionship. chloe’s supposed laziness is actually a reflection of how her trauma has left her unwilling to show her true emotions. this is an example of how clair’s approach to helping chloe is misguided, based on a false understanding of her problems
footnote 1: this is not to be interpreted as a condemnation of religion in general, or christianity in specific. you can worship jesus while still acknowledging the issues christianity causes and has caused, and without believing the bible to be free of error. i myself am not religious, but i would like to think that we go somewhere nice after we die. more importantly, i mind my own business 😛

i think it could be a multitude of things but it being executive dysfunction would imply she *wants* to do stuff

footnote 2: for more detail on halo head being reflective of the real world, see my comment on 546 https://halo-head.com/comic/546-the-deeper-part/#comment-7811
oh. i put see footnote 1 and see footnote 2 in angle braces (less than signs and greater than signs) and they got parsed as code. oops
i put “see footnote 1” after “naive and ultimately harmful”, hence the errant space before the period
“see footnote 2” was meant to be after “albeit one that is reflective of the real world”
i probably didnt need to put those in anyway, my comments arent *that* long. oh well
