@claraknight's Claryce might be a big fan of literature and poetry, the same cannot be said of Ann-Doreen, who'd rather read trashy people magazines,,,

Funniest thing about the stranger things love triangles for me is still the way the writers used almost the same plot beats twice, with siblings on both sides, with similar thematic resonance, and half the fans have still not caught up on where they're going. You are allowed to think it's not going to end up with canon Byler. But the amount of fans (people who are actually invested in watching and understanding the show you know) who won't even admit that they could be setting up a love triangle is still so strange to me. Genuinely, what more do you need to at least consider the possibility ?

...Do you think Rick would have taken the shot if Morty was the one used as a human shield by Rick Prime...?

Or, to be more accurate, can you say for certain that he wouldn't have taken the shot?

In any case, given that he and Eyepatch Morty had a switch planned between them, what do you think Morty Prime is thinking in this scene, right after he saw his counterpart getting shot with no hesitation by the person who is supposed to be on his side, while he was being strangled by the enemy they teamed up to face?

OH YEAH. okay one thing I DO want to talk about from Skyfall. That I think we should be talking about more. is the "he went into the priest hole for TWO (2) DAYS" thing.

I had like. known that was A Thing, but ig didn't see or forgot what it looked like. but the first look at it I was like. whoa. this is.... how do I say. like there's something visceral and primal and primitive about it just being bare rock. and I made a comment about how insane that is, and esp seeing the mine/cave-like rock and the thought of TWO DAYS down there.. that it's sth "like returning to some sort of primordial earthly womb (tomb)"

but then later they showed that the priest hole is NOT just like a bolthole. but a whole-ass tunnel system!!! EXTRA wild! what was Bond doing down there? WHERE exactly was he in the priest hold then? Was he hunkered down in some corner? Was he wandering around the caves like some sort of primordial spectre.

also there's something interesting/cool about it being like. seemed like it was just going to be a bolthole, and then they revealed it was this whole-ass tunnel system. Skyfall has a lot of maze/hidden/hiding symbolism, and there's something interesting about there being this, like. hidden earthly labyrinth at the heart/hearth/underneath Skyfall.

also the idea of baby Bond wandering a stone labyrinth under the very bones of his ancestral home after the death of his parents... and the whole when he came out he wasn't a boy anymore or whatever it was exactly Kincade said.... hmmm......... Minotaur? Minotaur vibes perhaps? I think there is something here- I think there's something to be said about hidden monstrosity/adversity bringing out monstrosity in us, plus the whole nature/nurture question of like, Bond and HIS "nature," was he born brutal or was he made brutal

(by his career, by his forging as a 00 agent, by M's machinations-- speaking of machinations. but okay god the way she. Manages him... I DO think there's a lot of interesting parts throughout the movies but there was a particular moment in Skyfall when she was like. hunt them down. for Ronson. like ggngng that was like. the emotional equivalent of those loop/stick leashes they use to capture stray dogs.... lowering the loop around his neck and tightening... and then once it's tightened she can move him around cuz it's a stick and not just a rope leash, she can literally physically lead him...) (and also the nature/nurture question of Silva's rats thing)

I think it's because Dazai is still technically Akutagawa's master.... even though he technically isn't lol.

I mean, the Headmaster is still Atsushi's master even though he is dead.

(Assuming it's about this post) Are they though? Speaking like I would speak to a friend: Akutagawa, you need to move on from the man who abandoned you, nor ever showed you an inch of compassion. It's arguable that Dazai was ever a mentor to Akutagawa to begin with, but in my opinion he definitely stopped being one after he cut ties with the pm and Akutagawa. Akutagawa is a grown man now. But I suppose the narrative disagrees itself with me, and on points still supports the idea that Dazai keeps guiding Akutagawa...

Something about your Kid reminds me of Dolores from Lolita

You can’t say this without an explanation, I NEED to understand how you got to this point bc Im fascinated by both these characters yet I don’t see links between the two but you’ve got the gears in my head turning

Both the Judge and Humbert disgust me and their obsession with their respective characters are somewhat similar I suppose, though in a very different context(wanting a relationship in the case of Humbert and the Judge wanting the Kid to devote himself to the Judge’s philosophy of war), from wanting to control their lives and behaviors to the sexual attraction aspect

(I’m not the most articulate, apologies for my poorly explained thoughts on this!)

here's a hot take for today

the narrative function of sex is the same as the narrative function of fight scenes is the same as the narrative function of songs in a musical

no i will not explain

i just found out that there is a way you can keep wyll & karlach and still raid the grove and it's if you kill them first and then resurrect them after its over which is kind of hilarious... like... imagine...

"why did you kill us??" "it was an accident!! so sorry!!! i brought you back as fast as i could!" "hmm... okay... well... did anything important happen while we were gone?" "nope! anyway let's go visit that githyanki creche right now immediately."

tagged by @hereticaas -- thank you!

make a poll with five of your all time favourite characters and then tag five people to do the same. see which character is everyone's favourite.

okay so I have zero chill on EpisodeSevenWeekendEve and i'm going to kind of bend the rules here. they're five different characters, but they're all the same character--kind of. is he my fav characters of all time? HE IS/ARE TONIGHT, FRIENDS.

which lestat is your favorite lestat: lestat as recounted by louis, lestat as written about in claudia's diaries, lestat as relayed by armand, louis's 1940s dreamstat hallucinations, or the real lestat, whom we have yet to meet televised as of 21 june 2024?

(no sixth opt-out/nuanced/all-of-the-above/none-of-the-above option, you are brutally forced to choose)

if you are reading this, I am tagging *you* to do a five favs poll, too
