malevolent ep 21 the unconquerable spoilers ahead

Oh wowie so much

I can’t believe they be doing the amnesia trope now

it’s unbelievable, I’ve said it before but no one is doing it like them,,,, yellow is such a dick I can’t wait to see where this goes

and the memes I’ve seen of a drunk of his ass Arthur turning to piano suddenly make so much more sense

i feel like one of the reasons people didn't like heretic as much as they thought they would, is because we got too used to villains being "likable" as people.

in recent horror, human villians tend to be either 1) extremely humanized and given a lot of sympathy/background on why they do what they do. think jigsaw for example 2) a goofy, exaggerated, sometimes supernatural slasher contrasting over the top gore.

so when people see a truly insufferable villain, they dont know what to do with it. it's meant to be uncomfortable when he rants at the girls for hours about how everything they know is wrong. his jokes are meant to fall flat and make him look pathetic. the true horror IS to be trapped by a "reddit atheist", so if you found yourself annoyed at him, it means hugh grant did a good job.

for god's sake the guy keeps women in cages and he based his house's layout on dante's inferno, he wasn't meant to be likable.

TAS Erik needs a squishy stress ball, too. Sorry, Charles, but it's for the greater good. How much squeezing do you think happened when they were stuck in the Savage Land? 🤔

Have a good week, Snap! 😁

ERIK PLEASE be gentle with him ..... his bones are like peanut brittle . ..

The last comic is so funny but also, uh, if Bill survives, imagine being him. One moment you see cool new people from the same way as stars (yay maybe you can be friends) and next moment your mom is dead and maybe nothing good actually ever comes from up there. Maybe stars were not your friends either.

I’m already drawing stuff for evil cipher parents AU, DON’T DIVE ME MORE IDEAS💥💥💥/silly

Aw glad you liked the comic ❤️

But yea

Imagine the traumatised edgy Bill, who’s motivation is to destroy the stars to revenge his family

This guy would have trust issues, no, Trust Issues, those deserve capital letters

And a survivor syndrome too (*insert yellow triangle blaming himself for surviving and having consistent panic attacks*)

God the angst potential is immaculate 👁️

on that note, I will now be playing Vore at my hypothetical wedding 😌🩷 and yes, I know that the song, in its overarching/primary interpretation (as Vessel wrote it), definitely isn't romantic.

HOWEVER, Mr. Vessel One Token the First himself intended for his music to be interpreted by the listener in whichever way they relate to it. The anonymity of the band isn't just for the "faceless servants of Sleep" concept. The anonymity also acts as a mirror of sorts for their audience. It allows the listener to not only see the music as "[Vessel, behind the mask]'s story," but as their OWN story. there's no face (and, symbolically, no "real" person) to attribute the lyrics to; there's no one true meaning that can be seen, by the listener, as unique to the lyricist. "Vessel' is a blank slate (or: a medium, mode of delivery, ...a vessel) with which we can feel the music on a truly personal level. (<- like I can't remember the exact interviews/interludes/etc. where this is referenced, but I'm not pulling this out of my ass I promise ;w;👍)

Now, the opening paragraph was just a little silly goofy, obviously. BUT, who's to say that one's personal relationship to the lyrics of Vore can't be interpreted as romantic? If that's how their unique life experience shapes their perception of the song, is that less valid than the "primary" meaning inspired by [Vessel behind the mask]'s experience?

For example, I'm someone who was deeply hurt in a romantic relationship, to the degree that even the thought of pursuing romance feels like a dangerous "unknown" to me. In theory the lyrics could be very romantic in my case! "Follow me between the jaws of fate," "Let's get swallowed whole," "Welcome me in," and even "Are you in pain like I am," can be interpreted in positively. As in, maybe finding love with someone new and letting them in really does feel like stepping between the jaws of fate. Opening up my heart again is so fucking scary, but it's also an opportunity for deeper understanding and room to love in a healthy way. Like I love this person so much, and I want them so desperately (/pos), that I'm willing to be swallowed whole by stepping past my fear into unknown territory, as long as I'm by their side.

That said, you might shake your head and say "Ki you dumb bitch, get some reading comprehension skills!" And I would agree: I am a Dumb Bitch Juice connoisseur, and therefore you are not wrong. But also. We're dealing with poetry, fundamentally. And poetry is inherently subjective regardless of the writer's original intent, or what is clearly the "primary" interpretation of their words. Vessel wrote Vore as a way to explore toxic obsession, but that's not where the story ends once it's enjoyed from a different perspective. (fuck, I learned this exact concept in like a 3rd year comms course, but I can't remember what it's called for the life of me lol)

That extends to all of their music, not just Vore. And, arguably, to music in general. I'll always love and honour all that Vessel has chosen to share with us. The main story of his songs will usually be the ones I default to, because I adore how he explores his own complex experiences and feelings. But, in choosing to share your art—especially with Vessel's philosophy behind music—you choose to engage in a relationship with your audience that allows for it to be seen in new, unique lights. And that's okay! That doesn't devalue anything that Vessel has created. It just expands upon it.

Sleep Token's music clearly brings us together due to how emotionally evocative and deeply relatable the stories are (other than cute guys smooching and being Sillies on stage, buuuuut that's besides the point teehee). It starts a conversation that involves opening up about our deepest hurts, and healing with arms wide open to each other.

Or fuck it, maybe you heard Sugar on tiktok and thought it was surface-level sexy with no nuance in your interpretation. A) that's none of my business. B) it doesn't affect my personal relationship with the music. C) the sleepies still get those streams, and therefore get paid at the end of the day 😌✌️🩷

woke up to the news that bill nighy has grown a beard. seems like an exceptional event and i have to share

assuming it's for a part 'cause he prefers to be clean-shaven and there are like 3.5 occurrences of him ever having facial hair. giggling kicking my feet etc 'cause it seems wrong (unusual) and absolutely rocks at the same time

[Summarised image description: Eight-part edit of panels from chapter 51 of Nabari no Ou, with lyrics to Strange Room by Keane edited onto them. The panels prominently feature Miharu, though Yukimi and Kazuho are also shown. Each image has one line of the lyrics, and in full, the lyrics read, "i woke up in a strange room. time to start again now. no one to help you find your way through. you're just meant to guess it somehow. well, for a moment i was dreaming. we were just beginning. thought, "finally, i've come home." "finally i've come home." End description]

I've literally never understood parents who don't let their like... TODDLER age kids play with kids of the "opposite" gender. Like wtf do you think your 3 year old is gonna get up to????? News flash heteros people aren't literally born sexual beings and you don't need to protect your sweet baby girl from the boy from her preschool class.

Which also makes boy/girl friendships later on actually LESS TABOO meaning, if your kid grew up being friends with OTHER GENDERS, they will be less likely to see others solely as potential romantic/sexual objects and can actually have positive normal friendships with people of any sex or gender. Who fucking knew that if you don't treat something as FORBIDDEN then it stops being so appealing, especially if you have a rebellious streak

Y’all ever go weeks where it’s like you’re living the weeks and kinda floating along but then like slowly you kinda feel like you’re waking up and suddenly the past weeks feel like someone else’s memory like those weeks were actually a movie you saw and you’re remembering them as a movie and you can’t remember the whole plot or is it just me
