We as a society need to start building lighthouses, castles, and remote stone cottages again

So I finally had time to sit down and play through 2.3 this week and man I have a lot of Feelings about all of it, but today it's about Gallagher and Mikhail because!

The devotion of a dog! Gallagher's dedication lasting beyond Mikhail's death and then some! The way he let himself be seen through knowing it would mean his own death because it would help to accomplish his and Mikhail's dream! The immense regret and long lasting guilt of not helping Mikhail when he needed him! THE WAY MISHA CALLS GALLAGHER "MY HOUND-"

Ahem. I'm normal I swear. Anyway.

And one of my favorite displays of this undying loyalty? This.

This is the record you unlock in 2.3 after Siobahn brings up Gallagher's death in the Dreamjolt Hostelry. Right after "to the Nameless resting in peace... and to Gallagher."

La Messe de l'athée translates to The Mass of the Atheist. It was a short story about a man who goes to church, and is surprised to see another man whom he knows is an atheist attending mass, all alone. When questioned, the atheist says that he attends for a friend. This friend had banded with him when they were both poor, and acted as a father figure to him. The atheist managed to pull himself from poverty with his help, and did everything he could to repay and take care of his friend thereafter.

The friend died of illness some years later.

The atheist is still an atheist. But he attends mass on the behalf of the religious friend that saved him, and recites the prayers he heard whispered on his deathbed. These borrowed prayers are the closest a man like him could get to being a true believer, but he always holds out hope that those beliefs might enter his head.

There is so much in there, in the story they decided on as our final memento of Gallagher, that this is what was chosen to immortalize him, and ARGH OTL

on the topic of Amy and religious coding:

Victoria’s costume showed off her figure, with a white one-piece dress that came to mid-thigh (with shorts underneath) an over-the shoulder cape, high boots and a golden tiara with spikes radiating from it, vaguely reminiscent of the sun’s rays or the statue of liberty. Amy’s costume, by contrast, was only a shade away from being a burka.

What the FUCK did wildbow mean by this.

the thing is, I can never be thinking about something 24/7 because I have a minimum of 1 hour per day set aside for thinking exclusively about Obi-Wan and Anakin and that's non-negotiable

Screaming into the abyss

I just finished reading the Lord of the Rings and my god

The ending.

The build up.

The catharsis.

Like I am genuinely crying but they aren't tears of sadness yk. I'm sad I've finished the story but these tears are not necessarily sad. Just god. It's one am and I think that ending might sit with me for awhile now.

I lowkey already want to reread the series. Thank God there's the movies to watch so I can get the reward of a visualization of the world. I fully know that the movie will most likely make me cry again but God it's just such a beautiful ending what the hellll. I also have the appendices that I know I will love.

Just god. What are words anymore? How could I possibly explain how this story ending has made me feel?

I literally cannot get over the implications of bi-generarion like...so what happens when 14 inevitably kicks the bucket?? will he also become ncuti gatwa? with there be another face? will that face also split off and just be kicking around?? And RTD said that all the other doctors also bi-generated so are they also just??? out there??? in the universe?? Including all the faces we have yet meet because of the Timeless Child??? What the fuck was RTD thinking??? David Tennant literally isn't worth all this im not sorry

"I was using all my arms to hold back the monsters, that I had no arms left to hold them. "

This line spoken by Hugh Crain in The Haunting of Hill House haunts me. It gives me a new perspective of my own father.
