Chilling out listening to music and matching it to my new hyper fixtion

Mouthwashing

Anyway Jim and Reliable Narrator by Chase Petra

I had never heard of this song before, so thank you for the great listen! And YES. There are a few fanfics I’ve been keeping up with about Anya and her learning how to except what has happened to her and how to handle getting justice in appropriate and ethical ways that I really enjoy and I think this would be sick to listen to while reading them!

[WIP] The whole crew

And Jimmy... fuck you, Jimmy.

Anya is so dear to me, she survived and lives a long and happy life trust‼️

there’s so many details in mouthwashing that make me wanna gnaw on a fiber optic cable like the way jimmy and anya talked about how curly’s lucky to not be fossilized from the crash and then cut to curly in the cryopod AAAAAA!!!! AAAA!!!

OH I hadn’t thought of this! That is a very cool detail!

One detail that drives me up the wall is that Jimmy only ever seems to mourn and feel guilt over Daisuke’s death (the tombstone, all of the pink hibiscus flowers, the Walkman that he sees when walking backwards).

I get he doesn’t see Anya as a person, or really care for Swansea at all, but Curly was supposedly his best friend. Yes he “saves” curly with the cryopod, but that’s after the whole Feast scene, where he goes out of his way to hurt curly. There are also several moments where he seems to hate Curly or be jealous of him.

Daisuke is the only PERSON he actually expresses genuine guilt over. Every other aspect of guilt is not because he has hurt these people, but rather the fear of consequences. (I.E. we see horse fetuses everywhere but Anya is never seen in those moments). I feel like that has probably been said before, but I do find it interesting.

Though, now that I think about it there is the scene where Jimmy takes the mouthwash bottle from Daisuke. Daisuke tells him here that he’s always been a failure, and struggled to do right or find his path in life. The only reason he was even on the Tulpar is because someone else got him the job to try and help him be a better version of himself.

Jimmy sees himself in Daisuke. Daisuke’s mother was the someone else that got him this job; the someone he hoped wouldn’t blame herself for his death. Jimmy is only here because Curly got him this job; to help him be a better version of himself. I feel like Jimmy was not intending to help Curly by putting him in the cryopod, but rather trying to pay back what he did to Daisuke in a strange roundabout way.

So something I realized and kept cooking on because I dont know anyone else that would know this but

Mouthwashing is giving modern Titus Andronicus. It isn't the exact same but there are moments and big plot points that just make me think it's similar. Man, Mouthwashing really do be a modern Shakespearean tragedy.

I can go into further detail if you'd like.

Please do, because

1.) I would love to clean the tags and

2.) I know absolutely nothing about Titus Andronicus and would love to learn.

Hello everyone, just sending a reminder to younger or more reactive tumblr users in this fandom,

Please do not go out of your way to interact with users who are posting upsetting content or replies.

They are like toddlers, and any attention is good attention. You are only feeding them when you comment on their posts telling them that they are bad or similar comments aimed at them. And much like toddlers they will learn that bad behavior is what gets them the attention they want.

Just…block, report them and filter the content you don’t want to see. Like my posts suggest.

And if you do wish to continue to interact with them, please DO NOT @ other users in your direct interactions with these gore-mongers. I realize those of you tagging me and others are trying to spread awareness and do good, but doing it directly in the posts of these individuals is not the way to do it. You are only putting other users at risk of seeing their harmful content or being directly harassed/threatened in DMs.
