no do you get it. he cuts her open and ties a noose around her heart. the death that has been haunting him all along giving him a reason to run is what saves her from the death hanging over her head. you get it right

also (just been thinking) I love the 95 mini-series so much for deeply personal reasons and I use it as a teaching tool with my students (it works brilliantly) and it works as a faithful adaptation and also a coherent story that stands on its own making good use of character development and plot to produce the right emotions but I’m also not interested in a face-off between it and the ‘05 version in that I’m not going to die on the hill of “everyone must be watching this adaptation only” because it really is about the book.
#this is in part due to cate’s thoughts on P&P adaptations that I’ve observed and absorbed over the years#what version is going to have that final Lizzy/Darcy convo? Or be able to match the brilliance of the narrative shifts in perspective#it’s only the novel#though on that note I do really want to watch the 1980’s P&P#maybe I liveblog that next#I guess my point is: I’m a ‘95 adaptation fan. A huge fan. And I love it a lot and I’m so grateful it exists#the stuff that it’s gotten me and my sisters through#and I have this new relation to it with my teaching that’s really precious#because it’s so fun to watch my students be absorbed in spite of themselves and in spite of their tastes#And I do think that they specifically do need the visual aid to appreciate the novel#but I’m also in a way not a ‘95 defender. I love all that is good about it but true Austen fans may want more#or may not always be moved and it’s just fair. it’s fair! you know?#anyway I feel this more as I’ve grown up

hi. so. i came here out of nowhere because i was kvetching at cate this weekend about how i have the only correct fullmetal alchemist opinions on this entire webbed site and she sent me your way but i'm ten pages deep into your blog and don't see it so could you please maybe kindly just tell me what tag you used for it because i'm so tired of being the only one who read the manga and am absolutely feral about it (it was formative in high school and my insanity never died)
OK IT MAKES ME INSANE it's all mostly tagged "fma", although some of it I tagged fullmetal alchemist and some of it might be under fma liveblog? I do not have a coherent tagging system and for that I am so sorry, but I think mostly it's just fma. It makes me insane!!! but no I haven't talked about it for a while because lately other things are making me insane (sorry for the random posting about the french tv adaptation of a centuries old Russian novel it WILL happen again XD)
#about half the tag is reblogs and half the tag is me having a mental breakdown#also hi Cate!!! Glad to see my posts on this topic were feral enough to be memorable XD#<3<3

Time for my semi liveblogging. Starting with the Venom issue
I think I am starting to get what’s up with old Dylan
What’s with these weapons (?) that feel like they are living things? I think the reason this one does it is not the same as the reason why that thing Meridius is using does (not me getting my hopes up for another Anti-Venom no) but
We *are* in the living slimes story so you can’t just say something like this for no reason
So. His symbiote is our Symbiote. That invalidates most of my theories, which is probably for good because some of them were really lame
Nice to see that in this possible future they and Dylan get along well
Also! Dylan is friends with Peter! Or at least allies!
As someone who was really touched by the things Peter told Dylan in King in Black after Eddie died, I really want to see this!
I don’t know if he is referring to the future until the canon present, or the future between that and his post-apocalypse world. If it is the latter then it may not happen, but I think that even though they don’t know each other well in the present they have the potential for a positive relationship there and just. I like Dylan having friends
I just can’t with young Anne and Eddie being so cute and innocent like this
This reminded me of the picture of the two of them in the apartment, that one that I theorized a lot about, that I believed was there for Dylan’s sake
Dylan has never met Anne, we already went through this. But he also never saw Eddie happy
And there is the fact that this is before his suicide attempt and meeting the symbiote and all that, that all of it changed his life so much that he can never have the same type of happiness that he had back then, which is something but also. It’s not like he was never happy again after meeting the symbiote, on the contrary, but he was miserable during all of Cates’ run and after that he just vanished from Dylan’s life, and we don’t know if there was anything other than fighting after that for old Dylan…
This is making me emotional
First of all, Dylan is still his father’s son since he is wearing just that under the symbiote, and all the cool uniform was Symby’s doing. He does have the decency of not going fully nude which I’m thankful for
Second of all:
Dylan needs Symby to survive. Why?
He could be older than he looks, maybe too old to be alive, but Liz was also alive in the future and she is much older (then again Liz has Misery in the present, and Normie has Rascal, so this could be the case for all of them. Still don’t know about Spider-Boy)
I entertained a theory that he could have lost his symbiote side and it left him vulnerable, I even thought that maybe this “Venom” could be like. His symbiote side. A literal part of him. That you can’t just separate. But I don’t think it’s likely and I don’t even know if I like the idea
So all I have left is that it’s a regular disease that the symbiote can’t heal permanently but can keep him alive from. I don’t remember anything like this happening before, except maybe… Eddie’s cancer? But that isn’t even real anymore. Pretty sure this is part of his backstory that we will learn about later but theorizing is fun
(I’m still betting that he doesn’t have All-Black, and that this will matter)
“You owe us, Dylan”
Why? Is all this mess his fault? At least partially?
(Of course it is, he is the protagonist)
Symbiote machines? So that’s what those things are?
I was trying to remember if we had a precedent for this and I remembered the cyborgs from Misery. Since all the things they are doing at Alchemax are going out of control, why not
Guess we have symbi-bots now
I like how the demons refer to Dylan. In the second panel, when they say “a double-minded man” they mean this specific double-minded man, or any and all double-minded man? Because I think that from the sample we have, we can conclude it is true for all of them
I thought that Strange showing up made sense because he is a light magic magician (he was there as an example when 7.0 explained about light and dark magic) but now we are going to Chthon (I don’t know how to spell it)?
I lied, I don’t understand shit yet. But I’m intrigued

trying to find a nuanced way of explaining that Arcane is not about how privilege makes you inevitably incapable of seeing injustice when it happens to people you view as other. it’s about the slow descent into selfish utilitarian corruption (Jayce) and fearful grasping of indiscriminate power (Cait) that happens step by step by step to people who were initially horrified by it. it’s about decent people who want to do the right thing suddenly starting to view those different from them as other because it’s easier, after everything they’ve suffered. it’s about how the bad things that happen to you can twist you beyond recognition if you let them—and it could happen to anyone. you could let the world turn you into a weapon. you could develop blind spots. you could lose the ability to tell the difference between what’s real and what’s the voice of your fears. and every instance of us-versus-them thinking makes that slope slipperier.
#besties I don’t know how to tell you that if you start to see Piltover the way Silco saw Piltover you are looking at it WRONG#Jayce and Viktor’s whole plan is to give magic to the people!!#Caitlin is interested in solving the mystery of the attacks precisely because she believes it’s the work of ONE PERSON#that’s why their arcs are—as Grace said—tragic!!#when Caitlin tells Vi ‘jinx’s blood runs in your veins’ and Vi answers ‘then why are you the one who sounds like her’#we’re supposed to see that despite every difference of privilege in the world—Cait and Jinx are on the same path!!!!!#they’re both people who suffered and made that their excuse to write off a whole group of people—BECAUSE in both cases they were manipulate#it’s not about the privilege it’s about THIS COULD HAPPEN TO YOU#arcane spoilers#sort of#cate liveblogs!

literally so difficult to be 1) a person who believes that hooking up indiscriminately is actually so so terrible for people 2) a person who watches a lot of television and is steeped in the usual tv relationship trajectories 3) a person who enjoys watching dynamics of all sorts play out onscreen and 4) a person who really wants all characters all the time to get a romantic happy ending
#like. what if i said syd and luca should get to make out. as a little treat#what then#would the writers probably not convey the way that wouldn't be good for them? yeah#would it detract from the mostly non-romantic plot they've been steadily building up? also probably yeah#but!! I want to explore the possibilities! I want to explore them HONESTLY. and I want everyone to end up happy in the end!!!!#cate liveblogs!
