A moment of peace~

Back again with my Four shenanigans, I swear he works like magic for my art block lol.

Anyway, this is still rough and I'd like to try and render it some day, but for now have a sleepy Four ! And a friend whose gaze never leaves their side...

Also, couldn't decide on whether I wanted Shadow to sign 'I love you' in ASL or do a goofy sign, cuz, let's be honest, he'd do both, so have both versions ahah

When Lennon's anxiety about having lost contact with reality became alarming, he would bring himself back to earth by a simple expedient: "When it gets too bad," he told his biographer, "I have to see the others." The value of the Beatles to him at such moments was that they were "someone else like me." In other words, the Beatles embodied the identity that John Lennon was always losing. But their own identity was by no means simple. Consider how various were the ways in which the public perceived the Beatles. Initially everyone saw the Fab Four as one man repeated four times. Soon, however, this perception was superseded by the vision of the Beatles as four different men wearing the same costume, which is how they were seen by the typical fan, who then identified with his favorite Beatle. The more sophisticated Beatle watchers, however, had yet another take on the group: they saw the Beatles as one man with four different faces. This was an idea that appealed to the Beatles themselves, but it raises a basic question: who was that man? The best clue is provided by the finest description ever written of the Beatles as a collective identity. According to British Pop critic Nik Cohn, the most remarkable thing about them was their self-sufficiency, which was the product of their perfect complementation, each Beatle interlocking with and counterbalancing the other like the works in a Swiss watch. "Lennon was the brutal one," Cohn observed, "McCartney was the pretty one, Ringo Starr was the lovable one, Harrison was the balancer. And if Lennon was tactless, McCartney was a natural diplomat. And if Harrison seemed dim, Lennon was very clever. And if Starr was clownish, Harrison was almost sombre. And if McCartney was arty, Starr was basic. Round and round in circles... and it all made for a comforting sense of completeness." Exactly.

Logging on just to whinge and complain again but was at a market a few days ago with a self identified leftist usamerican friend who wanted a souvenir but refused to buy, like, socks or something because they were "too expensive" and looked at me like I had 2 heads when I said Well you know the craftsperson needs to b fairly compensated for them so and then went 🙄 I can get these for like $2 on temu idk why I would buy them here. and I keep thinking about it like yeah girl idk why you would pay a living wage to this guy when you could just buy something made with slave labour by some starving worker in a country which doesn't exist to you makes perfect sense you've got me there

It's this whole thing about “you take from me and I take from you”. It's insane now that I think about it. The concept of taking away, tearing something apart because you don't have it yourself. The war started about something being taken away and then the process of getting it back is taking and destroying. Helen was taken away from Menelaus and their family together, she's Menelaus' partner, his wife. Menelaus then takes the life of many men in order to bring her back home, men who were probably married and had a partner and a family. They took his partner, he took the partner of other people as well. This happens with Patroclus and Achilles too, Patroclus was something dear to Achilles, probably the most important being in his life. Hector took Patroclus’ life from him and Achilles then took Hector's life; Hector, dear prince of Troy, one of the most important beings for the city, the joy and hope of the people. And Odysseus, a man who couldn't see his son grow up because of a war he had to go to. He didn't get to see his son's childhood, so instead he takes the childhood of another son, another child too young to understand why. Astyanax’s childhood. He snatched the child from his mother's arms and killed him, another child nobody could see grow up. You take from me and I will take from you.

I just realized. In One Step Ahead, the "typical Curt" "typical jerk!" "ooh, sick burn" interaction is way more than just banter. Owen hears "time to save the world again" and can immediately write it off as Curt being Curt, unable to grow and think for himself beyond stupid impulsivity. Typical Curt, acting like it's a simple save the world scenario where he can cut corners and come out the hero. Meanwhile, Curt hears "and pretend to be a hero again" and can't square it with the Owen he remembers, it's just generic villain dialogue. Just a typical jerk who wants to cause pain. It's no coincidence that the next line in the song is Curt saying "what happened to the man I knew?" he literally can't recognize this interaction as things Owen would do or say.

AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D SEASON 1 -> SEASON 3

One of my biggest issues with Kageyama role in the movie is it's there but not enough for people to understand why this moment is so pivotal for kagehina together in their numerous strides of trust/threat.

Kenma wasn't being illogical here. And any setter doesn't want the game flow to be hampered at the cost of emotional needs of one player. While all the same a setter should try to raise the morale, we see kageyama do that for Tanaka In the inarizaki match.

As far as Hinata is concerned for kageyama, no matter how much he says that "as long as you are essential for winning" putting it in Rough words for hinata, has hurt him the second time during the tokyo camp. He gets angry and hurt as he talks to Yachi, he is emotional and says it was even harder to get along with back then. But after all this time hinata expected Kageyama to be there for him. He says I don't expect closeness via friendship but he thought kageyama understands his desire to get better.

While that's another discussion on hinata pov, as far as kageyama is concerned, while he said those words, he himself fears change or isn't sure how to keep having hinata around. And he wants hinata to be able to play with him, kageyama for the first time found a partner who matches his speed. Both kagehina crave speed.

When hinata has his slip ups, kageyama is concerned. But also he asks hinata to get better at receives as that's basic for playing volleyball.

Now Hinata is ofcourse concerned if kageyama is going thru a choice of should I toss to him?, and.hinata only replies with strong conviction by receiving and being in position to always be ready for a quick.

Recieving and then getting in position for a quick attack is not an easy feat. He is openly targeted. So how does kageyama who wants to toss to Hinata, but has to have restraint to not let game slip by mistakes, BUT wants to reward Hinata for doing his best??? He let go of his obsession with speed. Hinata also let's go of his sole purpose as only hitting quick, with mutual trust that they haven't abandoned each other and to show off Hinata to kenma, to display his need, his want in tossing to Hinata he raises him to a new height. A tall king of the court, giving a simple four toss is almost like a gutsy ballsy move along with the kindness and ease and consideration for his spiker to shine above him.

It's also important to learn that Kageyama does have an emotional need to see hinata flying. Hinata represents his freedom to play anywhere across the court. Kenma also notes that by restricting of Hinata they aren't at a big disadvantage so why does Kageyama give??

Well long story short Kageyama will not leave Hinata behind, he isn't only essential to winning and was never that, he wants him to improve too and wants to sneak in tosses whenever he can, like someone giving treats to their fav. He adores the relationship he has with Hinata. And by extension Kageyama bonds with many others like tanaka, tsukishima too by raising limits and trusting their best is upto them. Kageyama core development is stability and loosing control and let his spiker shine.
