Not Jensen Derangement Syndrome Ackles singing first "Every Light Before Me" (which is the Dean Winchester refusing Heaven song) and keeping a handkerchief hidden in his back pocket all throughout this song only to pull it out at the end and say:
"I used to get asked all the time why I keep a bandana in my back pocket. Now you know why..."
Not Jacking Joices Ackles wiping his face for plausible deniability then saying:
"Let me slow it down for ya"
AND ESPECIALLY
Not Jensen Where's the Tapes Ackles following that up with the opening to "Watching Over Me" and changing the lyrics CHANGING THE FUCKIN LYRICS from
"Lay it on now that I can see"
into
"Lay it on now that YOU can see"

is from the same episode as this:
legendary
#the x files#msr#fox mulder#dana scully#the unnatural#this episode is absolutely unhinged but also oddly heartfelt with like a genuinely emotional storyline ???#and it's literally a mulderscullylite episode they're barely in it and yet???#iconic for so many reasons#what a ride

Is it over? Oh wow, is it truly over? Damn, what a line to end on. "It was the devious-cruising Rachel, that in her retracing search after her missing children, only found another orphan."
Oh boy.
I also loved the last line of the last whole chapter. "... and the great shroud of the sea rolled on as it rolled five thousand years ago."
Jesus.

There's something about how it's Padme who suggests running away that just makes the most terribly tragic sense.
In the novelization, we start with Anakin, and he's so ready to leave, so ready to up and leave the order and has... no plan as to what's next. He'll be with Padme, and that's all that matters. He promises that he'll walk out, right this minute, if she just says the word.
And she doesn't. There's a war on, they're a Senator and a Jedi, they're needed - the Jedi need him, and the Republic needs her.
So they stay.
But then it's Anakin's turn to have a crisis. He needs to stay a Jedi to figure out his visions, but he needs to stay a Jedi to please Palpatine, but he needs to stay a Jedi because the Jedi need him... but it's all falling apart. The Jedi are being secretive, Palpatine's being manipulative, he hasn't slept in days and Obi-Wan is gone...
Padme is his only rock, and she can see that he's drowning.
So her solution? They run away. Take off, leave, get out, figure it out from there. They'll be away from the Jedi, from the war, from it all; they can figure it out. Together.
And you can see it, can't you? That fourteen-year-old queen. Still just a kid, but her planet needed her, and she refused to turn away. How many times did she dream of throwing it all away, running off into the stars? How many times did she dream, like teenagers so often dream, of that starry-eyed prince sweeping her off her feet, taking her away from all that? The pressure, the responsibility; freely taken, but sometimes knowing that you can't put it down only increases the burden.
And Anakin comes to her, drowning, like she once drowned, under it all - too much responsibility, too much pressure, too much everything. And she offers him the only thing she has: her dream. Her childhood dream, that carried her through so much: run away with me. Be my starry-eyed prince, and I will be your beautiful princess, and together we can be anything, far away among the stars.
The tragedy is that, in the end, that was never his dream. Padme dreamed of running away with a starry-eyed prince; Anakin dreamed of being the hero, saving the princess, saving the world. Padme dreamed of freedom - but Anakin dreamed of safety. Security. Power.
Neither were ever going to give the other what they wanted, no matter how hard they tried.

Do you ever think about how Tuor grew up an orphan and then was enslaved and then went on this long, dangerous journey to find Gondolin where he married the crown princess? And then he just got to live there? He and Idril got married and he was welcomed into the family of Turgon the king and they lived in peace and had a son they adored? How surreal must that have seemed to him, after everything else he'd been through?

The song is from the singer "Rupatrupa" You can hear it (and with subtitles!) HERE

the epilogue of BETTER BY YOU, BETTER THAN ME (now complete)
↳ read on ao3
November 1983. Between unpaid bills, the supposedly straight jock he’s seeing, and letters from his convict dad, seventeen year old Eddie Munson’s got enough to worry about. But when Will Byers goes missing, it sparks a chain of events that will show there are more depths to Hawkins — and to certain people in it, like infamous Steve ‘The Hair’ Harrington — than he realises.
/ or, the excessively long slow-burn in which Eddie is involved in the Upside Down from the very beginning.
chapter sixty-seven summary:
Eddie keeps waiting for the curtain to come down. Audience to clap. There it is, folks, your dream happy ending, now move along. Back to your real lives.
read it from the beginning

some thoughts on the chinese title of here a people sows: 怀黍离
oh boy is this title loaded with meaning. i'm not an expert or anything, so this is just my own personal speculation and research.
event spoilers below
first of all, getting the low-hanging fruit out of the way, 黍 is shu's name, meaning millet.
黍离 ('millet droops low') is a poem from 诗经, an ancient collection. and by ancient, i do mean old as balls—it dates from the 11th to the 7th century BCE. here's two different translations of the poem in question. from the first link:
Millet with grain droops low; Sorghum attends the blade. So slowly I go through; My heart is so dismayed. He who knows me says I'm distraught. He who doesn't asks if I'm seeking aught. O vast, almighty blue sky, Who on earth caused this and why? Millet with grain droops low; Sorghum is in the ear. So slowly I go through; My heart feels drunk and drear. He who knows me says I'm distraught. He who doesn't asks if I'm seeking aught. O vast, almighty blue sky, Who on earth caused this and why? Millet with grain droops low; Sorghum is in the grain. So slowly I go through; My heart is choked with pain. He who knows me says I'm distraught. He who doesn't asks if I'm seeking aught. O vast, almighty blue sky, Who on earth caused this and why?
well! that's pretty depressing! the themes of grief basically jump out! apt for a woman who trapped herself in a thousand-year purgatory of self-destruction! there's no way she didn't know what planting those northern seeds would do there's no way
next, on 离. in the poem above, 离 is used to describe the grain (drooping), but the far more common every day meaning of the word is 'depart.' so, 黍离 - shu's departure. (i don't think 离 on its own alludes to death, but given that shu's death and departure are inextricable in the story, i can't think of one without thinking of the other...)
now, 怀. to think of; to keep in your heart. a sentimental remembrance. now this is nastily ironic considering the nature of how the sui siblings die (really hard to kill but if they do die they're forgotten, to the extent that even their works disappear from the earth).
before we put it all together. back to the poem
the first link from above has some additional historical context: the poem is about a millet field that has taken the place of an old, dilapidated imperial palace. it's a lament on lost glory, so i wonder if the choice of poem is also meant to allude to sui itself (the lost imperial palace to shu's millet field). i'm actually hesitant about this conclusion, because it's not actually clear to me that any of the siblings yearn for that past glory over all else—even wang. (ji is sentimentally motivated, and more benign than he appears at first glance, though he's still a grey kinda guy. wang's motivations are wrapped up in grief, and we don't know entirely what went down with jie, the dead sister, still, but it almost feels at times that wang wants freedom for the sui siblings more than anything else. but freedom is tied to power is tied to glory, so...)
one more thing. I'm assuming millet droops when it's just about ready to harvest, so i feel like there's an additional bittersweet layer to all of this, of the past, long-lost glory being replaced by something humble, but important and practical—a fruitful harvest for all. sui's grand power, harnessed by yan (in this case, shu in particular)...
so, the various possible meanings of 怀黍离, put together:
remembering shu's departure
in memory of shu?
remembering the drooping millet (and by extension, what it has replaced)
anyway, this is all just me trying to put pieces together. these thoughts aren't particularly organised but what the hell. if you read to the end, cheers
#arknights#thanks to my friend who told me about 黍离 in the first place#what a ride#i have so many more thoughts about the event tbh we'll see what form they take
