not literally lol, i kin ramona but im not herrrrr

my relationship with scott pilgrim starts way before i could reasonably remember... there's a super vague memory of watching it on MTV2 as a kid that resurfaced when i read the books for the first time.

i SPECIFICALLY remembered the scene where todd threw scott into a wall, and then i ran to my brother like "OH MY GOD THIS IS THAT MOVIE WE WATCHED!!!" i always thought it was kickass, and so did he cause he's super bad at remembering stuff

i first read the books in fifth grade, it's been like ten years holy shit man. i fell in love with the art style and tried to replicate it and i still feel like you can see traces of it in my art style. it used to be WAY more apparent though any comments on my art would usually ask if i liked scott pilgrim

i think the reason my scott pilgrim obsession has gone on for as long as it has is because one it's awesome, and two i got into it so early that it's very nostalgic for a much simpler time in my life. it's also one of the very few things me and my brother bond over (me being a teenage girl and him being a 40 year old and all) i swear everytime we see each other he brings it up. when we lived together he'd always call me if he saw it on tv or netflix, very sweet.

i'd consider scott pilgrim more of a special interest moreso than a hyperfixation, although with more time passing im not AS obsessed with it. but don't let that fool you i'm still very un-normal about it. like i'm more than a casual fan.
