I desperately need to talk to someone who is both a fan of “Dash and Lily” and S. by J.J. Abrams and Doug Dorst. I am connecting the two in my head and I desperately need to talk to someone that would get me

I like to think of Goncharov as S. in S./Ship Of Theseus

but maybe thats just me

The most interesting thing to me thus far about this whole goncherov thing is that Tumblr has collectively constructed some pretty convincing side characters for this movie. Katya leaps off the page as this frustrated woman caged by her lack of autonomy, Sofia coyly plays both sides and acts above it all when really she's desperate for the same freedom Katya is. Ice Pick Joe is a less developed character who nonetheless acts as a stand in for the inescapable nature of cycles of violence. andrey, loyal to a fault, gets pulled deeper and deeper into goncherov's orbit until there's no way for him to make it out alive

and yet with all that I have ZERO sense of who goncherov is supposed to be himself. i've see a lot of stuff suggesting that the film is theoretically about loss, including the loss of one's identity, shown primarily through the way goncherov becomes unrecognizable to himself by the time of his death at the end of the film (seeing himself in a fractured mirror is a common motif). it's very interesting to me that we have a fine time coming up with a group of collective blorbos based on mafia movie tropes, but somehow the main character feels unknowable, to the degree that we had to make that one of the core themes of the film.

I know Gabriel is canonically really popular with Heaven’s residents but there’s bound to be some heavenly loser with pronoun envy

Josef Straka - In the house of mourning (1893)

Ah jaj! Co mě baví na zoologických zahradách je především aspekt toho, že se tam zprvu chystám fotografovat neobvyklé živočišné druhy, které v českých končinách jen tak nezahlédnu, ale nakonec věnuji nejvíce pozornosti zcela běžným potvůrkám, mezi které patří i tyhle straky. Fotila jsem je ve voliéře, kterou jinak primárně obývají supi, orli nebo třeba luňáci. Tenhle stračí gang bylo ovšem mnohem zábavnější pozorovat. To víte, sup přiletí a žere, nic ho neruší. Zato straky? Ty mezi sebou komunikují, dojde k nejedné šarvátce a prostě je to mnohem větší dobrodrůžo! Jsou už naučené, že tamní mrchožrout jim vždy nějaké ty zbytky ponechá, nebylo to poprvé, co jsem na ně v oné voliéře narazila.

Y'shtola's very weird family accompanies her to a research expedition to Tural. Or at least I assume that's why she ends up there

Rin and Ania have an extremely busy few years in between Endwalker and Dawntrail that may or may not include: one marriage, one PhD Archonship, two kids, one Syndicate seat buyout, and a lot of bullying on behalf of the Ala Mhigan diaspora.

Happy Dawntrail maintenance to all who celebrate!

Day 3 of reading S by J.J. Abrams/Doug Dorst:

SPOILERS AHEAD

I've finished the actual text of the novel by V.M. Straka, which was a slog not gonna lie. It's got so much mystery to it that I find it frustrating, and it annoys me that the main character doesn't complete either of his two missions (figuring out who he was and killing Vévoda).

Wish me luck for the first wave of marginalia!

Happy ten year anniversary to Carmilla: The Series. It feels like I just blinked when I saw the trailer a decade ago, and I decided to celebrate by linking the entirety of season one here!

Peter Montgomery at RWW:

If there’s anything the MAGA movement loves, it’s a rally with a bunch of speakers who can be counted on to blend “anti-wokeness,” conspiracy theories, Christian nationalism, and hero-worship of Donald Trump. The latest assemblage, traveling under the name of Rescue the Republic, will grace the National Mall in Washington, D.C. on Sunday, Sept. 29, with the stated mission of mobilizing Americans to save the republic and western civilization itself from “a conglomerate of industrial complexes.”

The speaker lineup includes Trump booster Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Sen. Ron Johnson, Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk, Moms for Liberty’s Tiffany Justice, Pizzagate promoter Jack Posobiec, Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, anti-feminist public intellectual Jordan Peterson, anti-vaccine activist Del Bigtree, and journalist Matt Taibbi. Also speaking is #WalkAway founder Brandon Straka, who was sentenced to three years of probation for his role in inciting the mob that attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. [...] Rescue the Republic claims to represent a “rebel alliance” of people “of every culture, creed, and ideology” who “are putting politics aside” to “secure peace and freedom.” Libertarian Party chair Angela McArdle is listed as a founder of the group, the latest iteration of a coalition of “COVID-19 dissidents” that rallied against vaccine requirements as “Defeat the Mandates.” They later organized a right-left coalition against U.S. aid to Ukraine under the banner, “Rage Against the War Machine,” which is holding a rally on Saturday.

This weekend’s Rescue The Republic is a motley crew of far-right activists and anti-vaxxers.
