DARK MATTER • 1.01 "Are You Happy In Your Life?"

[renegadesstuff]

I just finished watching Dark matter. I really liked it and was sad to see it cancelled. I hope we'll get a real ending one day 🤞

I couldn't help noticing the similar relationship between Lucy & Tamara and Two & Five 🤍

I'm so conflicted about the ending of "Dark Matter: A Ghost Story" by Michelle Paver. On the one hand, I hate the Bury Your Gays trope, especially since Gus died almost straight after Jack acknowledged his romantic feelings for the first time. But on the other hand, the ending is very emotionally powerful in a way that it just wouldn't be if Gus survived. Plus at least the dog lives.

While the ending did feel gross from a representation standpoint, Dark Matter isn't the kind of novel where everyone gets to survive and be okay, and I wasn't expecting that. Realistically, either Gus or Isaak the husky was going to get killed off, and I don't blame the author for not wanting to kill Isaak. It's a depressing end to a depressing book and I respect Paver for going ahead with that, even though it comes across as a bit dated and might not fly today (Dark Matter was published in 2010).

I guess it's a product of its time and shows how far we've come regarding LGBTQ representation and awareness of offensive tropes. I also wanna mention that I love this book and I'm not hating on it in this post, just criticizing it.

istg the moment i saw jayce d**th threats i realised how much i overestimated cognitive abilities of this fandom. they were just happy to jump on a hate train without taking a second to comprehend what even happened. "his mind [fucking] suffered", viktor told y'all himself. not to mention what horrors he saw in arcane backrooms. not to mention viktor literally wanted him to destroy the hexcore before he became jesus and literally dumped him because he didn't do it.

"Dark Beginnings" brings up something that was likely implied before but I never considered, which is that Shadow didn't share Maria's fascination with Earth.

Maria would often tell Shadow about Earth's beauty but he never returned the enthusiasm, he only cared about curing his sister. Besides, the ARK was all he had ever known.

So of course Shadow's disinterest towards Earth turns into hatred after the GUN incident, and his revenge is only stopped thanks to Maria's memory. Even in the present, you could argue Shadow doesn't care for Earth very much.

did you forget?

that your sister is a human being?

that she's capable of being mad? mad at You, even?

I feel like a see a lot of speculation about ‘the Sun King and The Lady are the real bad guys of the story’ and ‘maybe Sarcean wasn’t so bad after all’ kind of stuff…

And I think there is definitely more going on between them that makes the story less light vs dark, black vs white. But I also think that the overall story kind of plays with nature vs. nurture (or circumstance) and that in one context someone can do “evil” and in another do “good”. I don’t think it’s bad thing if Sarcean was a bad guy who did bad things, like making and using the collar, like killing all those people. Of course I believe it’s more nuanced than a black and white, light and dark, good and bad. But just because there’s nuance doesn’t mean the rolls flip and that secretly the whole time the light were the real bad guys and the dark was fighting the good fight.

I feel like if that is the case then it might neglect all the inner turmoil the characters have had to go through to try and understand their rolls in this new old world. If Sarcean maybe actually had a point and was doing the right thing, then Will’s battle with himself and his desires doesn’t mean as much because he’s not actually fighting any dark impulses

SUP DURGETASH NATION, I'D LIKE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE FOR SOME COMMUNITY FUN! Brother I rly can't shut my trap today, anyway-

Good now that even the lurkers in the back heard me, I'd like to introduce you to a quirky lil idea @aleksxo and I had:

The 2024 Bhaalspawn Championships

Aka a broader scale community activity to spend our summers with. Here's what it's gonna entail:

Short deathmatch style DnD oneshots based on the 5e rules, organised in a championship way where your Durge OCs will compete in 1v1 or maybe 3v3 against each other to determine and crown the chosen Bhaalspawn (aka the final winner). All of that would happen on discord cuz pulling that off on Twitter or Tumblr is actually impossible.

Basically: Imagine the current European football championship but instead of men kicking balls it would be durges trying to murder each other to determine the final winner... So if push comes to shove it would be men kicking balls too but in a different way and I'm getting off topic.

Does the idea sound as enticing to you as it does to us? If so, let us know.

There is no nuanced option, it's yes or no fellas. But if I may request smth, it would be absolutely and wonderfully awesome cool if y'all could reblog this idea so we can reach the most ppl and see if there's legit interest, cuz if there is, we shall get to planning!

And we'll, since we're just tryna gauge y'alls interest at first, proper rules and that stuff would follow at a later date if people are actually down for it.

Come dear Durges, defend your honour and claim that Gortass. *Insert a very inappropriate joke about trophies or champagne bottles here cuz I couldn't help myself.*
