#anyway listen to midst

[kerosene-in-a-blender]

I've started listening to Midst, and I think it's going to become my new go-to example of the idea that just because it's possible to predict a reveal, doesn't make the reveal bad

I'd clocked prior to Season 1, Episode 11 that the general shape of the universe in Midst consisted of the Un and the Fold on opposite sides with Midst between them, but the actual reveal of that when the Consecutor's ship breached the cloud and it was shown for the first time? The description was SO GOOD after it was over I realized I'd been holding my breath the entire time. The effect of that reveal wasn't lessened at all by my figuring it out in advance

IAN GALLAGHER + his journey with bipolar disorder

"nice, Phineas. Smooth." is perhaps the funniest way to end the episode. We shall discuss the opening later.

I’m only on episode 7 of season 2 so don’t get too spoilery for me but I’ve been thinking thoughts about Midst and

you only refer to a currency with a word like valor if you are making A Point. right? are we agreed? and to the Trustees, valor is something to show off, to tell everyone and their mother about. they drape themselves in it, have Notaries (multiple! just standing around at street intersections!) to go tell their good deed to, and it’s funny when our main protagonists are getting mobbed by people trying to tell them about how they did this for a relative without being asked or put up with that without complaint, but-

and during the raid, Phineas points out Weepe and asks (demands) him to further help them and that struck me in the moment, of how Weepe was so uncomfortable with the amount of valor he received from turning in his friends, to the point that he specifically asked Imelda to wait before moving on the info because he didn’t want his former friends and colleagues to know what he did, and I’m sure Imelda has her own reasons for why she didn’t honor his request but also, in their culture, it’s like- why would he hide it! something that big, that valorous? most anyone would shout that from the rooftops! come look! look at what I did for the Trust!

even the Consecutors aren’t free of this, they’ve got a reporter following them around, relaying their every heroic move over the radio like it’s an episode of The Lone Ranger and not a literal hostage situation. that’s what heroism, what valor, is to this society. you broadcast it over a radio, you wear it as a jewel around your neck, you literally trade and barter it for material goods and political favors!

and YET-

Phineas, who despite how hard he’s worked and the people he’s saved, is still not valorous enough to be a free man. he is still! not enough! to shine on his own! he’s going to drive himself crazy trying to please these people!

and YET-

he zip-lined down a live communications cable with no reporters to commentate on it. he successfully pulled off a plan to escape a giant monster with only two strangers (one of them a literal child) to witness and to help. do you get it. do you see. that it’s only upon being free (abandoned, even) from the high society that never saw him as enough on his own that he is going to understand what true valor is.

when Mike grunts with abandon in a certain "im gonna fuck you with this song" kinda way, i have to literally stop what im doing for a second to let the shiver go through my body

[kerosene-in-a-blender]

I love how it's always possible to tell when someone has started listening to Midst and gotten a decent ways in because the Midst-posting just flows over their blog like the Fold flowing over Stationary Hill

[six-of-ravens]

it's been a real rollercoaster of a night. now im supposed to be reading but im just sitting on the couch with an incurable* headache like "i need to change my ENTIRE LIFE"

*i took 2 Advil and either they're taking their sweet time kicking in or this is a weather/air pressure based headache that's not going to go away so easily. very likely the latter bc we're supposed to have a drastic temperature drop overnight

[animalsandskyyy]

aaaahhhh spotify is evil :/ (not really….but still)

[babybirbb]

not me and my friends making last minute plans to go have a picnic down by the river on the hottest day of the fucking month while there’s literally an excessive heat warning

it wouldn’t be that big of a deal if we weren’t literally gonna go out there at the exact hour it’s gonna be at its hottest

i fucking hate texas sometimes
