#Raei

[shellem15]

Okay, I know the Dawnfather and the other primes are running interference, but we NEED to get a full, one-on-one conversation between Asmodeus and Raei (I need it. So bad.) It would hurt so much but so GOOD. I know the hardest bars would be dropped, fucking "My greatest heartbreak...is that I will only have eternity to punish them" levels of bitterness and resentment.

Especially considering what we learn about them in the intro! Imri was straight up ready to die for Luz! Fucker threw himself into the goddamn flames for her!

You know there's so much angst over that. Over how she apologized before healing him. Is Asmodeus hung up on that? About how he sacrificed himself out of love and all she gave in return (in his mind obvs) was guilt? Does he think that's why she tried to save him during Calamity? Not out of love but out of guilt for trapping him?

Asmodeus, who was changed (change, a thing he hates above all else) for her. Who refuses to be changed ever again. Who would hurt the ones he loves in his pursuit of revenge. Who loves his hatred more than he loves his siblings.

The Everlight, who was just trying to help her brother. Who was just trying to help the world. Who got stabbed in the back for her efforts. Does she regret it? Trying to help him? Does she regret saving him on that ship in the first place?

Perhaps Torog is right. Perhaps death would have been the greatest mercy for him. Anything that isn't pain, that isn't all-consuming hatred.

Imagine if she told him that. How much that would fucking hurt him (them both). If it was a lie, would he know? Would he call her out on it?

Probably, I imagine. He'd probably say something like: "Mortals think we are different. That you are honest while I am not. But between us, you've always been the better liar. The greatest, cruelest lie that's ever been told, is that there is any mercy to be found in this wretched world."

TLDR, this miniseries is driving me insane.

It made me think of the movie Arrival, where the main character made a similar choice, and answered the question "If you knew how it would end, would you still start?" with a resounding "Yes," and the assertion that, while there will be pain, there will also be love and joy, and the one doesn't cancel out the other; It is worth it. It is always worth it.

I like to think that Raei went to Exandria with good intentions, and a desire not to hurt anyone -- but that once she got there, she couldn't help herself. Couldn't stop herself from getting attached, from falling in love, with humanity, with joy, and light, and love.

Thinking back on what we know about her, her enormous heart, her optimism, her need to try to reach out even to her betrayer siblings, her inability to do anything but care for those around her...I don't think she had much of a choice, tbh.

I like what you said in your tags, "beautiful and messy." You're right. It is. But what else could it possibly have been?

thinking about how saranrae came to exandria and started a family.

how on the one hand it's beautiful and sweet. she assumed a mortal form and loved mortals so much that she couldn't help but love a few of them in particular.

but at the same time.

she knew. she knew what she was. she knew what she was here for. she knew the plan. she knew it couldn't last.

so is it beautiful or is it cruel? i genuinely don't know. it might be both.

CATHERINE'S STYLE FILES - 2020

7 MAY 2020 || The Duchess of Cambridge launched the new community-based photography project called ‘Hold Still’ during an appearance on ITV's This Morning.

Thinking about how Imri (Asmodeus) was the first one to recognize the danger of Predathos. Thinking about how he grabbed Luz (Raei) and Aru (Pelor) and told them they were going to stay together, and pulled them onto the ship. How he told Luz he loved her before throwing himself to the flames. Thinking about how all Luz had to say was "I'm sorry." And saved his life through her embrace.

Thinking about how she got all the light while he got the heat and pain.

Thinking about how, in the end, they didn't stay together.

Tiny Review: The Rooster 2023. Low-stakes thoughtprovoker.

I like the message. That sometimes living happily(and naturally) also means behaving unorthodoxly(and madly).

That we are all broken. Some people are more broken than others. Some people let their brokenness consume them more than others.

Tim, or Mit (the Hermit 😂), is the conduit through which Dan, and us, learn this.

I thought the rooster is the embodiment of the Dan’s regular life, that it’s death meant the death of his old identity and that he needs to embrace a new identity, or die with the old one.  

Instead, it’s a lesson to just buy back the same old life again? 😅

The Rooster is a 2023 Australian comedy drama film directed by Mark Leonard Winter and starring Hugo Weaving, Phoenix Raei, and John Waters.
