Final poll I'll make about this subject.

This one, I hope, will have conclusive and interesting results compared to the previous, easy-to-guess-who'd-win polls. Let's see!

You believe in a crystal palace, eternally indestructible; a palace, that is, at which you could never stick out your tongue furtively, or gesture rudely from inside your pocket. Well, maybe I am afraid of this building exactly because it is crystal and eternally indestructible and that it will be impossible to stick out my tongue at it, even furtively... Laugh as you will. I can take any amount of mockery but still I won’t say that I am satiated when I am hungry; still I know that I won’t settle for a compromise, for a persistent, recurring zero, just because it exists according to the laws of nature and exists in reality.

sometimes you’ll look at dai companion quests and you’ll be like “wow. these are nothing. some of them are just like 2 cutscenes and half of them don’t even give you a meaningful choice” and you’ll think that’s why dai was bad. but dao companion quests were also nothing. so it must be something else

Pure Vanilla Cookie and Shadow Milk Cookie's color palettes have led me to a realization.

And I'm so, so (not) sorry to have you see my vision too.

The fact they keep referencing Eddie’s lying on the show and in interviews has me giggling and kicking my legs and twirling my hair.

It’s almost like we’re meant to read into the fact Eddie’s not always being truthful - with himself and others. Almost like, I don’t know, him going to confessional and telling a priest that he lied to everyone in his life and then later him telling that same priest that he’s straight might possibly be showing us Eddie not being truthful with himself or others!!

anaxa is actually such an incredibly deeply passionate lover (both in a romantic sense and his general care for others). he just doesn’t let himself ruminate on it for very long at all and deludes himself into thinking he is acting 100% out of reason whereas he’s actually such an emotionally motivated person; and when he cares about somebody, he cares with his whole heart and body and soul and whatever. he’s just very good at performing, so he fools everyone about that fact, including himself; he’s caught up in his own facade.

i feel like a lot of house md fans, they will see the things house says about all the other characters and take them at face value even though a lot of what house does is that he takes his observations/guesses/experiences/insecurities/what have you, throws them at the wall and sees what sticks. and sometimes it's not even the truth, rather, it's what he thinks or wants the truth to be, y'know?

“There was a cabaret, and there was a master of ceremonies

And there was a city called Berlin in a country called Germany.

It was the end of the world

And I was dancing with Sally Bowles, and we were both fast asleep...

Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome

Im cabaret, au cabaret, to cabaret.”

Truth has two meanings: there is truth as knowledge of reality, and truth as reality itself.

The way this still is giving me S1 Devon on the rollercoaster vibes - and if that is what we are getting then I am very intrigued and excited - because Buck struggled to deal with that loss - his first on the job - which parallels a bit with losing Eddie now and Buck struggling with that. But what I’m most excited by about if this is a parallel to that - is that Buck went to therapy - and ended up having sex with her (she took advantage of him but that’s not the thing here) - ill advised sex - sex that did not actually help him at all in dealing with his feelings.

But you know what did - talking to Abby on the phone - and you know who he can only talk to by phone (or video call) right now?!!

Leo’s love for magicians and magic shows isn’t brought up enough tbh, because it directly ties into the idea of a persona and fooling the audience’s eyes to see something that’s not actually there. This connects to his love of performance in general but also ties into why he struggled so much with his mystic powers.

Magic tricks are exactly that, tricks, a performance, masked actions hiding the truth. Meanwhile mysticism is intrinsically linked to the self and so Leo’s difficulty in even unmasking to himself is a big part of his journey that he continues to struggle with and in this essay I will-

I just realized something today—

This is good you’re going to really like it 😁

For the last 5 years, to me, Janus taking his glove off while stating his name looked like a false promise. I thought it was phoney because he’s the liar and why would he tell the truth now?

Then I remembered today that he once said ‘I don’t only speak in lies’. And I knew that was truth and that Janus is his true name, so what was I missing??

I REALIZED that because he’s a man of duality, exposing his hand on his human side means truth. His human side is his truth side and the snake side is the side that lies 👀

The guy must be at war with himself every frickin day
