it’s wild to me that MAGAts somehow think it’s an own that young women are primarily supporting the candidate who supports their bodily autonomy

There's a bit in the story where they have to solve a riddle and collect a magic flower to join in the Primus Tournament and it's when Cyprus and Lucy get to first properly chat and he's as charming as ever.

[...]that movie was an emotional roller coaster for me. I was called in as a consultant on some scenes, and it was tough. It brought everything back, especially later on when we all got to go to France for the premiere. Skip’s family was there. What’s so interesting is that the actor who I became closest with was Richard Speight Jr., the guy who played Skip in the miniseries. The first time he called me, he was politely asking me questions about Skip so he could better portray him, and damned if I didn’t hang up on him. Not because he’d done or said anything wrong. Because I just couldn’t take it. But as the filming began and we got to know each other, Richard became a great support to me, this kid half a century younger than me. Never made me feel like some sentimental old fool. Told me he understood my emotions. Said it was OK, that I was emotional because Skip and I had meant so much to each other and that was a good thing, not a bad thing. That meant the world to me. You have to understand that it took me nearly forty years before I could look at our 1942 company picture and not break into tears, particularly if it was December or January.

[ cw: death mention / strangulation mention / stabbing mention / blood mention / self-sacrifice / codependency mention in tags / ]

I think a lot about how common it is for Raph to be the one to have direct focus put on him when Leo gets into all his near death experiences.

Like, when Leo is thrown off a building, it’s Raph who’s right there jumping after him, not even thinking about the consequences to himself when he does. When Leo almost gets skewered by the Krang, Raph’s right there to take the blow and send Leo to safety without a second thought. When Leo’s being strangled to near death, it’s a Krangified Raph doing the job, doing exactly what Raph would never, ever want to do. When Leo is telling Casey Jr to close the portal, it’s Raph who tries desperately to convince Leo otherwise.

Likewise, Leo is consistently very single minded when Raph gets forcibly separated from them. Both when in the sewers and by the Krang, Leo is dead set on finding Raph first and foremost.

I also think it’s interesting that during each of Leo’s near death experiences, the lightheartedness of his words during them goes directly hand in hand with both how close Raph is to him physically and how much danger Raph is also in in that moment. From a literal “I told you so” as Leo’s falling away from Raph to a soft joke about how “hero moves” are Raph’s style - both of these are on the more morbidly carefree side and both of these notably take Leo farther away from Raph and, in turn, have Raph not in immediate danger.

On the other side of things is the apology from Leo, heedless of the danger he himself is in as he seriously and genuinely speaks to a Krangified Raph face to face. Then there’s Leo’s freezing and desperation as Raph takes a hit meant for him and sends just Leo to safety, leaving Raph himself behind. Both of these involve much closer proximity and Raph being directly harmed - these together make Leo much more vulnerable in his words and actions, something not even the threat of death can make him.

These two care about each other so much, and they’re way too much alike for their own good.

paintings I referenced here:

Gustav Klimt, Death and Life, 1908-1915 – Regulus' shirt has the same pattern as Death's cloak, James' shirt is patterned like the background of 'Life'

It was life and death, and death was there, on the left side of the canvas, waiting eagerly to pluck any one person from the conglomeration of life and claim them as its own. – chapter 28

Mark Rothko, Untitled (Seagram Murals), 1958 – Regulus bleeding out into the background

And he remembers looking out at the thick red blood on the marble floors and nonsensically, being reminded yet again, of Rothko. – chapter 34

Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky, Gathering Storm, 1899 – Regulus' socks have this pattern

'Hang painting here?' – chapter 37

and here some little details and an alternative bloody version :) look at that snake ring being handed over <33

after finishing wat i'm even more confused on what cultivation's end goal was? did she think taravangian was going to just chill after taking odium and end all the wars? or was all this (dalinar rejecting honour and retribution forming) part of her grand plan since she was the one who told dalinar to go find honour in the first place?

yeah this was so not her end game, what happened was apocalyptically bad for almost everyone involved. ok so i believe cultivation's gambit was originally that taravangian's nightwatcher curse of extreme intellect and extreme compassion would help him master the odium shard, like he'd still be odium but he would have the human compassion (and taravangian's ties to his family and kharbranth) to balance out the shard's own will/intent ig of hatred. so he'd be able to control it almost, like he wouldn't be ruled by it. the gambit was that taravangian loved humanity to the point of maybe stopping the desolations to preserve human life (a very 'cultivation' perspective to have).

of course this blew up in her face so badly that he wiped kharbranth off the map and man if im really honest this was one of my fave parts of the book. the realization throughout the interludes that taravangian's altruism was actually rooted in this deep selfishness and that it wasn't that he wanted his people to be safe, HE wanted to be the one to make them safe and HE wanted to be the only one to rule them in the name of their own safety. and he'd kill his own family for that. that's so awesome i loved it. and it all snowballed into this love and desire for pure conquest. he wouldn't have become retribution without both the compassion and intelligence cultivation granted him but she misjudged him and the reasons behind his soft heart so badly that she sooooooo didn't see it coming
