Not even Charles comparing him and Edwin to Orpheus and Eurydice could make the story feel more like a retelling of Orpheus and Eurydice than“sorry but there’s no version of this where I didn’t come get you, is there.”

As Dracula Daily 2024 approaches, have a pre-horrors Jonathan! As a treat. I’m sure his business trip will go well this time. :)

my dad and brother are watching through the clone wars for the first time and I’m watching some with them and

i cant stop thinking about how the war traumatised bariss offee and how it traumatised her in such a different way from ahsoka

like i know weapons factory is supposed to show anakins inability to deal with attachment and loss

but it’s also about how luminara is too easily detatched

bariss needed someone to see her and see her struggling and luminara was too willing to let go and let bariss operate on her own. she trusted bariss to the point that she couldnt see when she needed help when she needed support because she thought she was prepared enough, trained enough

ahsoka was trained enough. she was a child far too good at playing soldier, being supported by someone who would do literally anything for her, even if it meant destroying everyone in her way. and that was wrong of anakin. and she never stopped playing soldier. after the republic fell, she worked as a spy for the rebellion because thats all she’s ever known, she was prepared to be a soldier.

bariss was trained but that doesnt change the fact that she wasnt a soldier. she was a healer playing a soldier with a teacher who couldnt see her desperation. she needed someone to see her. and luminara couldnt do that

yeah i know this isnt a new take. all of this has been said before and all of this will be said again, all of it repeats itself, the story will never end

but you should’ve seen him when he first got me…

dive bar on the east side, where you at? phone lights up my nightstand in the black. come here you can meet me in the back —> wait for the signal and I’ll meet you after dark, show me the places that the others gave you scars

I’m perfectly fine, I live on my own, I made up my mind I’m better off being alone. we met a few weeks ago, now you try on calling me ‘baby’ like trying on clothes —> oh, I’m falling in love, I thought the plane was going down. how’d you turn it right around?

I got a boyfriend, he’s older than us, he’s in the club doing I don’t know what. you’re so cool, it makes me hate you so much. whiskey on ice, sunset and vine, you’ve ruined my life by not being mine —> maybe I’ll see you out some weekend depending on what kind of mood and situationship I’m in and what’s in my system. I think there’s been a glitch.

our secret moments in a crowded room, they got no idea about me and you —> romance is not dead if you keep it just yours

and I snuck in through the garden gate every night that summer just to seal my fate —> head on the pillow, I could feel you sneaking in, as if you were a mythical thing, like you were a trophy or a champion ring and there was one prize I'd cheat to win

I scream, “for whatever it’s worth, I love you ain’t that the worst thing you ever heard?” he looks up grinning like the devil —> the first night that you saw me, nothing was gonna stop me, I laid the groundwork and then saw a wide smirk on your face: you knew the entire time! you knew that I’m a mastermind, and now you’re mine. yeah, all you did was smile.

back when we were card sharks playing games, I thought you were leading me on. I packed my bags, left Cornelia Street before you even knew I was gone. then you called, showed your hand, turned around before I hit the tunnel —> got a sense I’d been betrayed, your finger on my hairpin trigger. soldier down on that icy ground looked up at me with honor and truth, broken and blue, so I called off the troops. that was the night I nearly lost you

and he’s passing by rare as the glimmer of a comet in the sky —> one night a few moons ago I saw flecks of what could have been lights but it might just have been you passing by unbeknownst to me

SEE ORPHEUS WAS A POOR BOY, BUT HE HAD A GIFT TO GIVE. HE COULD MAKE YOU SEE HOW THE WORLD COULD BE IN SPITE OF THE WAY THAT IT IS. CAN YOU SEE IT? CAN YOU HEAR IT? CAN YOU FEEL IT LIKE A TRAIN? IS IT COMING? IS IT COMING THIS A-WAY?

[rosykims]

[anambermusicbox]

[carcarrot]

starting a web weave? making myself cry? it can be both

[levelofyoureye]

so i’ve owned song of achilles for 3 years now but every time i attempted to read it, i couldn’t bring myself to finish the last few chapters because i knew EXACTLY how it was going to end. well this week i attempted to pick it up for a fourth or fifth (?) time, and this time i actually made it through to the end. and uh i was absolutely right to dread reading the ending!! if someone had taken me out to the back and shot me a dozen times over it would’ve been FAR less painful than actually reading those last few chapters! it’s been about six hours since i finished the book and there are still tear marks on my face from how hard i sobbed. i am not even being dramatic (okay i definitely am) when i say there’s only two ways to measure life: life before finishing SOA and life after finishing SOA. how am i just supposed to go on now.

[magebastard]
