#but it knows how to be brilliant

[echoesofcamelot]

This shot takes my breath away.

It’s… I don’t know how to explain it.

It’s the discarded sword, forgotten because there’s no longer any fight.

It’s the wound, dark and fatal, clearly visible on Arthur’s side.

It’s Merlin’s leg, pressing tightly against Arthur’s.

It’s his left hand, clinging to him desperately.

It’s his right arm wrapped protectively around him, his right hand cupping his head tenderly, his fingers tangled in his hair.

It’s the way Merlin is holding Arthur, as if trying to merge with him and become one.

Or maybe it’s just the way this image alone tells a story, or at least the end of it. The way you can tell it was a good one, epic and tragic and filled with love and loss and all those things that make a story worth telling.

Yeah, that must be it...

Love and devastation and everything in between, all condensed into this very moment and captured forever in a single frame of a TV show.

Keep seeing people confused by Agatha letting the world believe she traded her son instead of telling the truth, but…kinda tracks, tbh. Not for the rational mind, of course. Not if you’re looking at it clearly.

Which Agatha isn’t.

She did the worst thing, in her mind. She fell asleep. She fell asleep, knowing Death had bookmarked her son for later, and when she woke, found him snatched out from under her. She failed him as his mother. She let go. And all the power in all the world wouldn’t be enough to bring him back.

So does the wildly grieving woman who has just lost her only child (to presumably her greatest love, but that’s a city-sized suitcase for another day) let herself go through the process of coping with and adapting to that grief? Fuck no! What is she, common?? She goes on a power bender! Even though the kid she prized in her heart of hearts seemed less than into that very thing! Even though that kid may have been able, given enough time, to convince her to stop! So now, not only did she fail him, but she also opted to speed race down Murder Road! For power! That she still won’t ever be able to use to get him back!

It gets muddled, after decades and centuries of this feeling. It grows teeth. In a way, she did trade him for power. In a way, she’ll always have that sitting on her chest. Never mind that it’s not true. Never mind that she wasn’t a bad mother at all (in this respect, anyway). Never mind that he was sick, and this was always coming. For Agatha, who has been stewing on this story she’s been telling herself for centuries, it is what happened. She traded her son. She did the unforgivable. She fell asleep.

I’m not from thailand but there is a very similar capitalist ruling class vibe in my country that I’m picking up in these Thai BL shows and I’m tangentially but closely related to this class and all I can say is…Ming is really not that bad.

These rich boy with hearts of gold/ rich boy finds heart of gold through interaction with poor boyfriend dramas I think has skewed the way that we view rich people. As in we think of them as people that operate on a general set of values and principles that we all hold. But the casual way that Ming imprisons Joe and thinks nothing of how he’s ruining the biggest opportunity Joe’s had in his career just because he can buy him a better, more lavish life is almost painfully realistic. And no it does not at all contradict with the fact that he loves Joe. And I think the way Up plays Ming with this careful mix of being totally self unaware, even innocent at times but with absolute entitlement in every thing he does, even at his most kindest is just so chillingly revealing of the ruling class psyche.

So many people are horrified by what Ming is doing and while I’m not saying that they aren’t horrific (they are) - it’s just that if you actually know a Ming you’d know that playing with poor people’s lives is like a Tuesday morning activity for him.

Imagine being 9 years old and asking your dad about the things you're interested in doing when you grow up and he's like "No ❤️! But you can get married, have babies, and then maybe your sons can do those things ☺️🫶 "

THEY EDIT FINE THINGS WELL: OFMD KISS AND KNIVES SCENES (S1 E9 & S2 E3) COMPARISON

Marveling at the OFMD editors who did so much more than just reuse Schumann’s Kinderszenen, Op. 15: VII. And Erik Satie’s Gnossiennes No. 5 from the season 1, episode 9 kiss scene in the season 2, episode 3 knife pulling scene.

Unedited audio from both episodes plays simultaneously in this comparison video. Take a look and a listen at what happens, with Gnossiennes No. 5 from 0:15 to 0:52. The music is playing twice, but you only hear it once because it matches perfectly. The way the verbalizations and dialogue work together are the kill-me-now gut punch taste-of-orange frosting on the best cake ever.

It's beautiful.

man, not to brag about my own show or anything, but while there are always things I would change about anything I make (and definitely PLENTY of things I could have done better as a writer/the showrunner of this show) Evan really fucking nailed the score for The AM Archives. it's just.....very fucking good.

[Dual of the Fates, Bagpipes Edition, begins to play aggressively in the background]

Between wanting to teach his brothers that he is not just a stick in the mud that drains the fun out of everything, and also wanting to do things well within the standards of GAR regulations because he's not an idiot, Dogma did some research.

As it turns out, the bagpipes were actually instruments used during wartime as an incentive to battle, motivation for the troops, and intimidation of the enemy. It's also the perfect instrument to annoy the ever loving crap out of a very specific group of brothers who keep talking behind your back and teasing you.

As it stands, neither the Clone Army nor the Droid Army was prepared for Dogma's level of commitment to being (rightfully) petty.
