Nuance Vs Subtext Vs Subtlety - Tumblr Posts

Love how you put this.

i don’t know exactly how to phrase it but like… a big part of the charm of iasip for me is how there’s a lot of nuance and not a lot of subtext, if that makes sense?

things that could easily be subtextual – the characters’ trauma and ow it affects them, as a very broad example, or mac being in love with dennis, as a more specific example – is straight up acknowledged within the show (in a way thats Good and not hamfisted)

but then those things splinter out into more detailed bits and pieces and fragments of character’s more specific behaviors and such 

the big pieces aren’t subtle but there’s still levels of subtlety in a way that’s just overall really well done
