#Brandon Means

[devils-your-minion]

Luke Brandon Field did NOT put his all into playing young Daniel as the most horny, desperate, pathetic, limp wristed, whimpering bisexual loser who looked up at that vampire with the wettest most submissive eyes and melted into him as he accepted the loving embrace of death just for people to say that Daniel Molloy is some kind of dom top.

Don’t worry Mr. Brandon Field, I saw your masochistic vision.

TWISTERS (2024)

i hate when ned gets dragged into this “second brothers who have a complex” thing esp when it’s a “well ALL the houses have this problem” ned doesn’t actually!!!! ned shows us no jealousy over brandon being heir to winterfell, what ned shows is a very obvious and deep seated discomfort with the fact that his brother was brutally violently murdered and next thing ned knows he has his brother’s job, his brother’s house, and his brother’s wife!!! that feels a little different to me, don’t insult my man here by comparing him to your floppy ass second sons who are mad they’re gonna get the world handed to them but their brother gets slightly more handed to him!!!!

seeing some prophecy discourse which has once again reminded me why i personally find the prospect of dany as the prince that was promised really compelling. and it makes the targaryens so much thematically richer. like, they only survived the doom through the power of prophecy and then the visions marked them forever and this thing, this blessing which gave generations of targaryens some existential meaning eventually morphed into a curse which brought so many of them great misery—"my brothers dreamed of dragons too, and the dreams killed them, every one." (aemon, affc) and in due course almost ended their line once again with rhaegar. but then dany happened.

almost four hundred years since the doom when prophecy saved them and nearly killed them again on the trident, dany was born. dany who carries echoes of all her targaryen ancestors within her. she's aegon the conqueror come again but she's also maegor the cruel when she promises the khals who had hurt her khalasar would die screaming. she's rhaenyra in her struggles to wield power and establish legitimacy as a woman, she shares her sense of egalitarianism with egg, and she drinks from the cup passed from rhaegar, i.e. inherits (what he once thought of) his narrative destiny to help defend the realms during the long night.

dany who is both their beginning, since she's the first targaryen created and introduced to us on page and the narrative end point of their dynasty. which reflects all the way into her arc being cyclical by design as it calls back to the foundation of the valyrian empire in essos—during the fifth war the freehold torched old ghis with dragonfire so nothing would grow there again and centuries later this girl, the last dragon, is going to help plant trees there again. it's not about retreading old ground or rejecting her house words but about redefining what it means to be the blood of the dragon. which is not to say all that came before her was meaningless since this recontextualisation is only possible through the three centuries of ancestral history weighing on her. and dany's very existence echoes back in time because the prophecy itself has influenced the lives of generations of targaryens. three hundred years of history, all the glory and the horror concentrated in this one person-point. the prince that was promised not simply as a figure of the long night but as someone who is the apotheosis of their house. dany as both their beginning and their end, because the iron throne is presently a symbol of stagnation, a world in stasis, and it has to go. no restoration, instead the old world dying in fire and a new world being born in the aftermath.

"Willoughby could not hear of her marriage without a pang; ... For Marianne, however, in spite of his incivility in surviving her loss, he always retained that decided regard which interested him in every thing that befell her, and made her his secret standard of perfection in woman; and many a rising beauty would be slighted by him in after-days as bearing no comparison with Mrs. Brandon."

I'm normally too focused on 'well, well, if it isn't the consequences of your own actions' to really think about how this sort of thing would affect Marianne, but I mean, it's quite creepy, right??

Imagine you're living your life, happy with your husband, healed and flourishing, and every now and then you find out your HORRID ex is insulting other young women (and they must be young, if they're a 'rising beauty') by invoking your name. Like leave her alone, Willoughby!! You hurt her enough. She was 17 (to your 25) when she was in love with you, she's grown up, seen you for who you really are, and moved on. There's something incredibly selfish about even after treating Marianne so horribly, he refuses to stop associating her name with his own. I wonder how many people would know of Marianne PURELY because Willoughby casually mentions (many times) a young lady has no resemblance to her.

No one wants their worst ex to keep haunting the edges of their life.

looks up into the sky, thinks about:

Questioner: Could the tower, the crown, and the spear possibly be referring to Renarin?

Brandon Sanderson: RAFO, RAFO, RAFO!

Addiction in helluva boss is always displayed as a positive conjuction for the characters and never called into questioning unless it's a female presenting character. The men constantly get away and passively if not aggressively enforce positive stereotyping about alcoholism over how it can make one powerful and dominant despite the overtones knowing they're abusers. Whereas female characters are berated over drinking or simply made fun of to be presenting as an instigator of the 'conflict' because that's all the plot can bother to use women for to make the men characters look like they have 'development'....

I actively hate the fact that drinking and downright addiction with drugs and outright drug abuse or addicts in recovery are actively laughed at if not mocked within both series.

The fact that stolas has not been called into questioning either for being a drug addict abusing his prescription anti-depressants with alcohol and its passively played off as laughs until... it's actually called out by ovtavia and spoilers it's not a pretty argument...

Please stop supporting helluva boss it blatantly teaches to excuse abusers and brush off the fact that they are using these methods to cope so passively just because for the simplistic nature of 'angsty college humor' 🙄

Loona drinks. Blitz drinks. Stolas drinks. Moxxie has drunk against his will and it was played off for laughter. Addiction is actively laughed at and treated like a joke when in the grandscheme of the narrative why are we even rooting for these characters and their problems if they aren't willing to have the acceptance of change and oh yeah that lost plot that viv promised called REDEMPTION.

At what point do the fans have to admit that there is no good writing or anything of substance about the themes helluva boss presents since it falls flat face first every single time it presents a new bad thing to gawk at for the entire episode :/ what is it trying to say? Nothing. It says nothing about abusers and addicts, if anything it encourages to endorse the toxic behaviors the characters indulge in without the consequences, I can't anymore.
