ToApril Day 11: Remembrance

I feel like there are dozens of characters this prompt could refer too (Kind of crazy how many people die in ToA) so I went with a more obscure bit and made a piece about Helios! I wonder if Apollo's connection to the sun changed after the Trials, since he is now truly the only Greek sun god.

Luke Cage and Daredevil seem to get along, but let's be honest: nobody can make an entrance like Daimon Hellstrom! Riding in on his greek style hell chariot, driven by three demonic horses leaving fire in their wake! What an entrance! (Defenders #24):

Idk how Laurie held out as long as he did, if someone pulled the ‘Come and say goodbye to me, then.” On me, every ounce of self-respect I’ve cultivated over 2 decades would be GONE kaboom bye

The Surrendered Sword: The Chapter 14 showdown: the final instalment part one is here, part two is here

How does chapter 14 influence the end of the book?

Pillow talk

Suddenly Ralph is the one fretting, and Laurie is telling him to be quiet.  In a one-line re-rerun of the wedding morning, Laurie says ‘I knew it wouldn’t, but still I - ’ ie, he knew sleeping with Ralph again wouldn’t ‘settle’ anything but he went ahead anyway.  Ralph lets the mask slip with his bitter comments, but it is one of the most touching moments of the book.  By the end, though, he’s almost on auto-pilot, in shock that Laurie has turned the tables. 

Head boy Laurie: psyching himself up for the confrontation on the stairs

We know Laurie likes to copy Ralph.  But I really noticed how the study scene is echoed in the final confrontation.  There is barely any internal monologue about Ralph (or at all) from the moment Laurie receives Andrew’s letter, right up until he goes out to the stairs.  Just one telling line to Mervyn not to be disappointed if Ralph doesn’t turn up.  This impersonal voice echoes the feel of Laurie’s long walk to the study in chapter two, except that he is getting ready to deliver the punishment.  And what’s the first thing he does?  Says something, and waits, that old disciplinary trick of Ralph’s.

Turning the tables

If the final scene contains a lie that is ‘truer than facts’, the confrontation on the stairs contains some truth at the heart of the lie (Bunny’s imitation of Ralph).  Laurie unleashes the anger he didn’t use to ‘escape’ in chapter 14.  It is shocking because Ralph never speaks to Laurie in anger.  But Laurie witnesses Ralph’s anger with the world on a regular basis and frequently contemplates using it himself.  He doesn’t feel powerful enough to defeat Ralph in anything but the most primitive way.  He throws back at Ralph the ‘all or nothing’ trick.  He is no longer refusing to live with him, he is rejecting him as a person on every level.  And perhaps most hurtful of all, in an echo of Ralph using Laurie’s feelings as a sounding-board, he berates himself for ever having been taken in by Ralph.  ‘I’ve only been pretending to myself’.  And his casual dismissal, ‘they want the stairway kept clear’ echoes Lanyon in chapter two ‘Well, I’d better finish packing’, and ‘take these lists’.

Borrowed robes

It occurred to me that when Laurie says he tried to get through on the phone, he is essentially ‘imitating’ Alec very briefly.  He borrows Alec’s unconditional love for Ralph, because he is not quite there yet.  Perhaps the ‘lie’ is the thing that gets him into the room with Ralph long enough to do whatever he can uniquely do, just as the crazy school strike idea gets him into Ralph’s study long enough for the encounter to change both their lives.

Taking control

Maybe Laurie’s unique contribution will be what he did in chapter two, to stop Ralph in his tracks.  It is extraordinary that at times when he senses Ralph’s distress, Laurie’s instinct is to challenge him, not pity him, even back then.  They seem to force each other to raise their game.  And whereas he shows himself capable of great cruelty on that staircase, he also shows a strength of character that will be essential if he is going to be any kind of help to Ralph.  Perhaps this is what makes him the one ‘full time passenger’ that Ralph will finally be able to accept.  And I don’t get the sense that Laurie will accept any other terms.  If there is only going to be room for one person to be in charge, I think it will have to be Laurie, whether he is ready for it or not.

✨~✨ Tarot Tuesday ✨~✨

Week 8

VII - The Chariot - Sadoc Burrows

Though it may seem like an obvious choice, Sadoc was the perfect fit for the Chariot card because of his clear-headed, rational leadership. What might be harsh to outsiders is what worked for the dedicated Harfoot leader, who was also calm and clear-headed enough to know when those same traditions no longer worked. He keeps the caravan on its path and leads his people to greener pastures, going so far as to even lead the perilous mission of aiding Nori when it was clear that it was the right thing to do. Hopefully his spirit lives on with the Harfoots and their new path-finder, guiding them to settling peace.
