Don't ask how did I come to this, I have no idea, but theoretically, it's possible that Barth and Tanrak live…
yeah I remember them discussing this in interview with fourth and progress. But seeing the timeline their stories take place 10 years apart from each other, right?
I have the urge to rewatch this after Ticket to Heaven, but can I really do that? Good question. Itāll probably just make me cry even harder šš
Just finished watching Episode 2, and honestly, I canāt stop thinking about it.As an atheist myself, I understand Barth and his perspective. I question things the way he does. Coming from a very religious family, Iāve often felt like an outsider in my own home. Yet the character who completely has my heart is Tanrak.
I never fully understood religious guiltāwhat it feels like to defy something youāve believed your entire life. But today, through the way Fourth portrayed Tanrak, I understood it a little better. Maybe in the future Iāll gain an even deeper understanding of it. The pain, the confusion, and the uncomfortable questions Tanrak was suddenly forced to face, I felt all of it through the screen.
What I take away from this series is that even if I am not religious, I still belong to a religious family. And even if I never experienced that particular kind of guilt, somewhere in my heart I have always feared rejection as a queer person. The feeling that I might be seen as wrong in the eyes of the people I love is a strange and painful thing. Seriously, this show has finally forced me to confront that part of myself.
Ticket to Heaven is a series that I am certain will change me by the time I finish all six episodes. The debates, the questions, and the perspectives it presents keep pushing me to examine things from every angle. After Your Name Engraved Herein, this is the show I believe I will remember for a very long time.
