Also can we talk about his owner for a little bit? Notice how he initially gave off the “punk kid who abuses animals” vibe, kind of like Mitch from PPG, for a split second? I appreciate how the writers purposely avoided that cliche since it would just continue the media trend that paints those with alternative styles as unfit to care for pets, although that is very much not the case.
Even if it was just a brief back story moment, this has to be one of my favorite scenes from the show to date. I hope that the positive imagery of stylistic choices typically associated with “bad” characters- like in ROTG, with North’s tattoos- creates a more welcome perception for characters judged not by their style, but by their actions.
