#THE PARALLELS DRIVE ME INSANE

[jaclynhyde]

just posting these catti-brie/drizzt and jarlaxle/artemis conversations together for no reason,

[riceballmari]

no cause WHY does the prison ball adrienette scene back in risk LITERALLY remind me of yuchi. marinette and machi are the ONLY ONES who see right through adrien and yuki's facades and form strong connections with them (not saying nino and haru and kakeru don’t).

marinette can see that adrien does not like modeling and that he wants to quit and so she helps him stand up to his father. adrien does this in multiplication when he confronts gabriel about not wanting to model anymore. on the other end of the spectrum, machi sees yuki for who he is and doesn't consider him to be princely-like at all. with this, and tohru's influence on yuki as a whole, he gains up the courage to go to the new year's banquet and tell akito his true feelings on, well, how he's changed as a person in S2E24.

another example of adrienette being similar to yuchi is how once adrien starts dating marinette, he is able to help her after he finds out what chloe did to her in derision, saying that they'll get through it together even though it's scary and hard (he also legit confronts chloe about it too). yuki, already on his journey of healing thanks to tohru, helps machi by acknowledging her and saying that he'll make footprints on the snow with her after she opens up about her trauma, easing her fear of perfection.

I would've worshipped Athena forever that way, in silence.

Then he came

And I felt like he saw me in a way l'd never been seen before.

going a bit insane thinking about how jared said “sam doesn’t use his brawn and size to save the day but he wants to restrain that power” and how there’s so many canon examples. how sam usually tries to be smaller and less intimidating because he doesn’t want to scare people who are not monsters and especially how he makes himself smaller when dean manhandles him or hugs him. sam has spent his whole life feeling like a freak and his very body makes him stand out. it’s almost like he doesn’t want to be in his body. his body only reaches it’s full potential when there’s someone else in it: the way possessed sam uses his body is the complete opposite of unpossessed sam’s body language. the way meg!sam uses his body strength to his advantage. the way lucifer!sam straightens. but sam wants to be in a smaller, softer, less intimidating body. he doesn’t want to catch people’s eyes. he wants to be small and unassuming and above all safe

girls.

I was looking up some stuff when I found out about Etain Tur-Mukan, a jedi knight. And it turns out she married a clone. And I looked more into this. And you know what I find??

Look familiar?

...I dont think i can do this anymore

Mirror and The Rose

[nintendont2502]

john as a heir who inherits the narrative freely, doesnt even know that he has the narrative, and barely changes it unless hes being directed to by some outside force (breath as directionless, independent, detatched, free). john as a character whos never existed at the same time as an alternate version of him, a character who never has to face himself and remains largely unchanged by the end of the narrative even as it changes around him

ult dirk as a prince who destroys the narrative and destroys through the narrative, who is determined to reshape it in his own image and 'fix' it, who will make himself the villain if thats what it takes and do whatever he has to in order to help everyone, even if it means hurting them (heart as putting on and taking off masks when needed, inflexible, cold, building a coherent narrative of their own story). dirk as a character who constantly has to face himself via one of his many alternate selves, who can only gain control by uniting those alternate selves into one coherent whole

john is homestuck and ult dirk is homestuck post canon and one of the first things he does when he gains power is kill john (kill homestuck) through the narrative. destroying the (previously free, directionless, detatched) narrative and destroying that narrative through your own (inflexible, cold) narrative. theyre so yaoi

[nation-wide-is-bi-your-side]

watched s3ep20 and i’m sure this episode has been homo-analyzed to death on this website but one detail. one parallel. part of the reason bonnie wanted wilson to take hector is because wilson is the only one hector would behave for/tolerate/whatever. bonnie states that hector = house. wilson is the only person house genuinely loves likes they can’t keep getting away with this

He's not necessarily on time, but he's right where he needs to be.

The problem with a lot of traffic life interpretations in my opinion is they don't understand character foils or don't employ them in their writing. Grian-Martyn and Scar-Ren are genuinely pretty good character foils for a series that is not really scripted or planned out like a book is. I could go on and on about how they parallel each other and the similarities between them. Even the smaller details between the four usually match up

leaving the rant in the tags so I don't have a huge block of text again ueueue

[moonpie2405]

Thinking about arkco and orufrey parallels... The way both pairs are made of people whose pains, while not identical, pretty much run adjacent to each other.

For orufrey, nearly drowning (among other things) traumatized Qifrey while for Olruggio it was the blizzard that he witnessed kill many. Rain and snow are both water in the end, and while the cause was two drastically different events, the water's bite was ice cold all the same. Do you think they met in the Assembly and just clicked?

For arkco, it's their mothers. One is warm and loving, the other is not. And yet the silence, whether of stone or of rejection, is deafening all the same. The absence, whether brought by immense tragedy or by abandonment, during lonely nights, it stings just as sharply in the end.

The soriku and the Hercules/Meg parallels ALWAYS hit huh

[toobusybeingdelulu]

look who is speaking…

[mob-choir]

every once in a while i’ll be going about my day and suddenly remember just how much mob and serizawa are foils of each other, down to the wording of the promise they received from the person they look up to, and lose my mind all over again

[a-dumb-sarcastic-bisexual]

I’m back from my coma to talk about Nimona again

Specifically these scenes 

Because this is the moment where the similarities between Gloreth and Ambrosius’ stories end

At face value, these scenes seem incredibly similar 

In both scenes, Gloreth and Ambrosius are watching terrified as their homes are burning down around them because of a “monster” 

But that’s where the similarities stop

Because in the first scene, Gloreth decides to listen to everything that her community has told her 

And in the second scene, Ambrosius has finally figured out that everything he’s been told since he was a kid is a lie
