It's not exaaaaaaaaaactly danse macabre, but I covered it in the same unit of class.... this is one of my favorite woodcuts:

"The Hunter's Funeral Procession" by Moritz von Schwind

This piece was well-known by audiences in the 19th century since it was originally from a children's fairy tale book, and it was mentioned in the program for Mahler's Symphony No. 1 "Titan" as an inspiration for the third movement. That movement just goes soooo hard. It's got a distorted version of "Frère Jacques", it's got klezmer, what else does one want in a funerary march? It is admittedly missing the classic "Dies Irae" we all know and love in funerary music and requiems, but I think it makes up for it in pure vibes.

“The image is one of a world turned upside down: animals bury the hunter. The weeping and mourning are of course deeply ironic and provide an important clue to the nature of the third movement’s funeral march, which is at times sincere, at times sardonic.” - Mark Evan Bonds in A History of Music in Western Culture.

danse macabre should be a more popular "genre" of fanart like tarot cards and catholic saint imagery and princess mononoke knife scene redraws

I dont mind a humble date if thats all you can affford but asking me out, choosing a very expensive restaurant across town (he complained about the food the whole time) and then asking me 50/50? Boy you CHOSE this place!

Be realistic about how much you can afford pls

exaaaaaaaaaactly like in my personal experience, whoever asks should pay! and don’t be surprised how expensive the place is if YOU are the one who picked it!

if Seths cock is too small just lock him in chastity cage and make him even more Submissive. duh 

that's exaaaaaaaaaactly what i was thinking

[ironmess]

I feel like people take time travel too seriously. Time travel doesn't exist. For now, at least. It's fantasy. It's not something that you judge a movie by because it's a concept that's not in any frames of physics. It's time travel, come on, it's like fairy god mothers and dragons, chill out, why do people get cut up about such trivial stuff

exaaaaaaaaaactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!! like time travel is just a plot device!!!!!! its just the framework for your story. endgame isnt a time travel centric movie, is a movie with time travel. its not the main focus, its just the icing on the cake.

It is illegal to remove the crown, doing so will result in a grudge from the all mighty princess

anon shippers will focus in their otp, that's always happens and not only with jikook. i saw a lot of people talking about the jihope moment, i talked about it too bc was so cuteeee but that's it shippers focus in what they ship more

exaaaaaaaaaactly. i mean i’ve always been a sucker for jihope and you all know that, but like i said, i saw more jikook because of my own reasons, and they’re probably different from yours.

there’s no need to convince me that i’m wrong and you’re right or vice versa because to me, it’s as redundant as questioning why someone’s favourite colour is blue, because sometimes, it just is and there’s no real reason for it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

lady-feste-pendragon replied to your post: lady-feste-pendragon replied ...

They don’t even care about each other. Derek’s just like “ugh, puny high school I will eat you if you annoy me" and Stiles is like “Ooh, big scury woof, woops, I guess he’s dead, too bad." And they barely see each other. I have never ???ed so hard.

Exaaaaaaaaaactly!

I’m not sure I can shout any louder or more regularly that THIS IS CLASSIC ROMANTIC STORYTELLING.

Act 1.

~ Dean doesn’t believe in Angels.

~ Cas is a soldier and Angel of the Lord.

Classic antagonistic meet-cute. They get to know each other through season 4 as reluctant allies. Debate is rife between them as to the right thing to do. Denial is a running theme for Dean re: Cas, let’s be honest, not even romantically but the ever old “It’s Cas, he’ll be fine” etc. Denial is central.

Season 4 finale: THE NEW RELATIONSHIP. Cas rebelled. He did it, all of it, for Dean. They are now compatriots working together against Heaven and Hell.

~ Dean starts to have faith in Cas, he prays to Cas.

~ Cas starts to see Dean as his leader and ally, not the Angels.

Act 2.

Season 5 - 8. Getting to know you. Well its SPN, so not exactly Fun and Games but yeah, this is it. They do get to know each other, and we get to know them better too. Cas even occasionally takes part in some MOTW ‘fun and games’ episodes and we see the development of both the romantic Destiel and the very kindly clearly written as a mirror obviously platonic Sastiel for comparison.

Point of no return / deeper commitment: somewhere around season 8 / Purgatory. “I’m not leaving here without you” etc. This is also the point where Dean believes that emotions will break Cas. This is literally heartbreaking and affects how he reacts to everything moving forwards, most specifically it is the reason why he holds back so much other than when Cas is human (see all the meta about 2nd nightstands, all of 9x06, the bar scene etc). It is also a standard unrequited/undeserving/it’s better for them if they don’t love me love trope in order to drag the story out, just saying.

Falling for you / Complications & Higher stakes: Cas becoming Human. Dean’s Demon/MoC arc. All these arcs lead them to a more profound emotional development towards each other and more textual romanticism in the writing rather than the initial crush/interest.

Final straw for Cas: Perhaps believing Dean is dead in 9x23 but then consolidated in 11x23.

Final straw for Dean: Lucifer possessing Cas, the whole second half of s11.

~ Dean over this whole period comes to see Cas not as a distant Angel but in a much more Human way. He even might have stopped praying to him as he replaces it with phone calls / direct communication, but his faith in Cas is clear.

~ Cas replaces his love and faith in God with his love and faith in Dean (consolidated in 11x23) and doesn’t want be a soldier but wants to help people, maybe by saving people, hunting things…

12x12 is the expositional point telling us that Cas has CHANGED. It also is a call back to Dean’s worry that emotions will break Cas as here he is, emotional and breaking. Dean even bows his head and visually looks like he is praying (it doesn’t even matter really if he is or not, the effect for the audience is the key).

These concepts tie back round to and build on where they were BEFORE THEY MET to show how they have changed within themselves and grown in relation to each other.

So, Now. They have both experienced the complications and higher stakes towards each other. They have both fallen in love, Cas both metaphorically and literally falling (it’s only on becoming human that I think he truly realised how he felt, it’s both a narrative reality and a metaphor). Dean’s gone from having no faith to eventually meeting God and worrying the whole time about saving Cas.

Which leaves us currently at the Break up Moment. 

Which is honestly exactly where I see this separation and all the questions about choices/Angels/nephilim/cosmic consequences going, leading us to…. 

Act 3.

Winning him back.
