"The thing about the dead, is that some of them come and visit because they miss you, some come because they need to tell you somethin' that you need to hear, and some of 'em just wanna take you with them. You need to know the difference." - Rose Aguineau, True Detective s4e2

Kali Reis as Evangeline Navarro & Jodie Foster as Liz Danvers TRUE DETECTIVE (NIGHT COUNTRY) - S04E05

And if she did either walk into the ice like her sister or stay around, the only person she would ever come back to see, whether it’s in the spirit world or physical world, would be Danvers.

It's honestly so legendary how Danvers and Navarro both have men in their lives who genuinely care about them and their well-being but they're both like no no I need to self destruct and go have gay angst with my coworker/frenemy/narrative foil

[helena-thessaloniki]

Can't stop thinking about Night Country. That feminine rage is cold and hard; old, older than everything else, and buried deep. That a woman alone is a dead woman; a woman alone is the most dangerous thing. That a man's ego is more important than a woman's life. That a woman who speaks up isn't silenced, she's destroyed. That women are strongest when they're together, when they speak, when they sing. When they're seen.

That what men want for themselves is reason enough to lay waste to everything else. That when it's weighed on the scales, their chance to live a little longer is worth more than a baby's first breath. That they'll do whatever it takes, even when it poisons all of our water.

How a mother dies and her daughter dies too, but a son can't live until he's killed his own father. How women only have power when they lie, assume the role of men, align themselves to men, or die.

And when they will no longer clean up after them.

When they honor who came before, paint the protest on their face, and learn their real name. When they emerge from the ice, leave the night behind and walk toward the sun instead of into the sea. When they shape their own stories. When their tongue is returned to them.

What a fucking masterpiece.

I guess she wanted to take them. I guess she ate their fuckin' dreams from the inside out and spit their frozen bones.

Just finished night country and I think all the tumblr girlies need to invade the true detective subreddit like the cleaning ladies did tsalal.

Tonight’s episode of True Detective might be the most unpleasant hour of tv I’ve sat through in ages. This shit had everything. Like five flavors of utter, complete devastation. Families getting sundered left and right. Protagonists talking in circles to avoid addressing their own failures and heartbreaks. Jodie Foster cringefail attempt at drunken sex with Christopher Eccleston. The list goes on

Just some of the Problem, and and Rose being Done in a peculiarly Norse adjacent way with Cohle's shit

“Nobody ever really leaves.”

"I'm just a vet, ma'am. But I've seen caribous die of plain fright. Running, terrified. These scientists, they… they look the same."

TRUE DETECTIVE: NIGHT COUNTRY | part 6

Kali Reis as Evangeline Navarro & Jodie Foster as Liz Danvers TRUE DETECTIVE (NIGHT COUNTRY) - S04E04

[mswyrr]

The spirit that I want people to be able to walk away [with] after seeing the series, the spirit of these indigenous characters, is of power and of joy and of humor because that's my experience of working with the Inupiaq. And the spirit of profound dignity and endless community. All of that is what I think is the most powerful message that I want to put out into the world. More than the pain and the hurt--the pain and the hurt are there and it's very important to talk about it--but what I want to say at the very end, always, is: look at the joy. Look at the joy that I saw. And the power that I saw in these characters. It's a show that is about the night… and the night ending. And what is on the other side and how characters--at that point--are looking at the sun and the horizon. And that should be us. And that's why, more than talking about pain or suffering or struggles, I want to talk about power and joy. And the power to change the stories about ourselves.
