And the shapes that you drew may change beneath a different light, and everything you thought you knew will fall apart, but you’ll be all right | Nandor the Relentless + Constellations by The Oh Hellos
the thesis of this video can be boiled down to this: Nandor is, fundamentally, a man who is struggling to cope with the realisation that while he has stayed the same for years, the world around him has been changing without his say so. he clings to what he’s always known - for example his image as a relentless warrior - and the boxes he’s put people in, without realising that these things don’t quite fit him anymore. and when he does start to make an active effort to make a change, despite having every good intention, things rarely work out for him because, often, what he’s seeking out in new places, he actually already has. all he needs to do is look around himself and see things in a new light to realise it.
(this vid only uses footage from the first 3 seasons btw, you don’t need to be caught up with the latest eps to watch it)
(edit: sorry about the brief visual glitch during the “scratchy blanket” scene, that’s an error caused by tumblr’s compression and isn’t something i can fix)
And every word you shouldn’t say will come bubbling out of your throat | Nandermo + Notos by The Oh Hellos
aka my Nandermo thesis statement about their relationship and how it all boils down to the (both romantic and conflict) tension between them, borne of all the emotions (both positive and negative) neither of them thinks they can show the other, and how their refusal to let go of their carefully constructed persona means that the tension keeps building until it reaches a breaking point and all those feelings they were so desperately trying to bottle come rushing out in ways they can’t control
