The hovering matador swords were inspired by Sara Kipin!
You know, for a good chunk of my life I had no idea how cruel bullfighting was. Bugs Bunny cartoons and the distinguished look of the matador's outfit led me to assume when I was younger that they just led the bull around the ring with their red cape. I imagined it as a trial of dexterity and skill without too much of the animal cruelty aspect. Reality is often sadder than fiction. Fun fact: my high school's mascot was the matador.💀
