originally was going to use this song to make a video edit for a different show (Good Omens) but uh. Lapidot has so much footage of being isolated/left behind, i just had to (Lapis especially, i guess this turned out to be more Lapis centric even though it's Lapidot)

(song: The Frost - Mitski)

Peridot may have committed some light arson just to have a pretty backdrop when she gave Lapis a flower. These things happen sometimes

Your honor they're involved in a complicated gay situationship the likes of which have never been seen before

(song: Good Luck, Babe! by Chappell Roan)

saying something vulnerable for once but only in an accent that isn't yours when you know your lesbian situationship/current work partner/almost-murderer is eavesdropping through a device and you don't have to say it to their face or anything is actually something that can be sooo personal

Peridot likes it when Lapis holds her.

Peridot got crocheted into someone's project:(

(she doesn't realize she can use her ferrokinesis on the crochet needle to get herself out)

When the book describes a scene exactly as if someone's walking down a church aisle to get married, but what's actually happening is:

someone is walking down the aisle of a church, and the person waiting for him is someone he loves, except instead of getting married they are never going to see each other again because the person walking down the aisle is about to release the spirit of the other person (who is a ghost he met and developed feelings for only after death) and send the spirit to the afterlife so that he won't become corrupted living as a spirit for too long, and both are a normal amount of devastated about it

...I just thought it was a cool inversion

(the book is called Cemetery Boys, by Aiden Thomas, and it's also a good book in general)

not to mention that hector's death was one of the saddest. he knows he's already dead before achilles even kills him. in his final moments he just wants to do a great deed to make people remember him, but then he just,,,gets killed without achieving any feat.

there was something so Hopeful about trying in spite of being doomed, as well as his hope/joy when he thinks deïphobus came outside the wall to help him. (that was such a dirty trick from athena!) i'm glad he finally recognized it was a trick from the gods though, because if he thought his brother genuinely abandoned him i could not have handled the devastation. although for a split second he probably did believe he had been abandoned...

but anyway the Futility of it all is just heartbreaking. he tries to do something valiant because what other choice does he have? it's just a very Human thing and i think that's why it hits so hard. all of us know we'll die and our only consolation is hey maybe i can do something meaningful! and seeing hector being denied that in his last stand is just unbearable. (btw his life before that definitely had meaning. his kindness went a long way. just in his final moment he had no control over what he could do)

thinking about how in the iliad there's a repetition of characters dying in their friends' arms but patroclus doesn't get that and then we see how guilty achilles feels that he wasn't there in patroclus' final moments

oh and patroclus' last words are about achilles. "they will surely see to it that you go down in death at the hands of mighty Achiles, Aeacus' matchless grandson." he's thinking about him all the time.

not sure where this post is going but wow i'm sad

Crowley and Dr. Doofenshmirtz would definitely be best friends
