2024.06.26 | Some things are not what they seem. Even some fairy tales have deeper lessons for adults, not just children. The Universe is so big, it's mysteries too many and too deep. We have not explored and "known" enough. Everything is somehow connected, even when it's not obvious. The possibilities are endless.

Form is not a mere lopping off of meaning that you don't have room to put into your poem; it is an aid to finding new meaning, a stimulus to condensing your meaning, to simplifying and purifying it, and to discovering on a more universal dimension the essence you wish to express.

"The key thing was of course, the fact that Rick has PTSD and that's very much what's driving a lot of his behavior and being in a place of that level of vulnerability, back with the love of his life in that way.
It's also the thing he fears, the loss of her. It manifests itself in a way that is visceral and leads to the lovemaking not just being about love, but the revealing of pain and trauma and fear. That informs Michonne, that she can't just blast him into making sense. There's something deeper going on here that he can't verbalize. She has to help him get through in a different way. So she gets to see him, as well, as he reveals what's really in there, the wound. That's going to happen most likely in that most vulnerable space." — Danai Gurira
"Yeah, I think it is about pain. As Danai just said, it's about him wanting her and then fearing what he's about to unlock again. He gets to sort of articulate it in the scene further in the episode, when he gets to say that, 'I can't do this again. I haven't got the capacity to do this again. I've worked out how to die and live again.' So it is an absolutely necessary scene that allows Michonne to realize that there's something really broken here, more broken than she's ever anticipated. [...]
So the scene was about a real intimacy, a sort of frightening intimacy. This is a part of his personality he has shut down. It's almost like he's trying to stop himself from feeling this love again. She sees that and she just says, 'Just trust. We're back. We're the same...' I find it very moving. I think it's a very, very moving scene, because it's about them connecting in a way that he's had to deny for seven years. He's denied that connection for the sake of living on in this half life for the CRM" — Andrew Lincoln

All of Sarcean’s problems past and present have come from only two fundamental issues:
1) he’s just a bit of a shifty guy (the dude loves a half truth, a little deflection, a haha—wait what?)
2) and most importantly, he cannot control himself around a blonde with a pretty face. In no instance have we ever seen him show restraint. There is all of four blondes in the story (with the exception of his mother, duh) and he gets entangled with every single one.
It’s a level of down bad I respect
#not to rag on his shiftiness too much#I love my shifty guy#but damn he can’t tell a truth to save his life#LITERALLY#in his defence James was as down bad as he was#and mutual down-bad-ness evens out back into a sense of normalcy#I feel like everyone has been over his insane preference for blondes but I like to bring it back up once in a while#it’s good for moral#the deeper question is what does pacat have for blondes huh?#why do your protagonists fall in love with distant blondes all the time pacat?#dark heir#dark rise#cs pacat#dark heir spoilers#katherine kent#will kempen#james st clair#visander#The Lady

S5 opener REAL
#byler#will byers#stranger things#every season besides s4-5 opens with non main characters#for el we got a flashback of the lab followed by her perspective in the scene directly after#and I think for Will we will see something similar#with us getting the flashback of him in castle byers in the UD#followed by him in the present in the scene after#but what exactly would warrant that memory being brought up in association with Will in the present?#mayhaps his connection to the mindflayer and the UD run deeper than we realize…#it’s likely not something he could just rid himself of in s2 and now he’s all good#he literally still feels a connection to everything he is feeling#that means he is still technically at risk of being the spy in some capacity#the massacre at Hawkins lab also was a guiding force for El discovering the ‘truth’ in s4#so it’s likely for Will this instance will operate in a way that re-contextualizes the events in the past up to now#like that time Will suggested they go to the hospital in s3 only for the flayed to be waiting for them#or how flayed Billy knew they were at the cabin…#all while Will was looking cryptic as hell in that scene watching over el#or the fact that he picked Billy in the first place the season after he focused on Will…#you know.. williams#I think the easiest way to introduce the castle Byers flashback is a dream honestly#specifically a dream within a dream#seeing that recent leak and Will looking like either he has a black or hasn’t slept in days#is giving very much ‘I am afraid to sleep bc I’m scared of what will happen’#I think dude is not exactly possessed in the sense that we already saw in s2 with like the particicles#but he’s still vulnerable#the door is still ajar…#no but fr this idea of opening a door in your mind was so blatant in st2 AND s3b of teen wolf#I think a big part of it will be guilting Will over the fact that Will has helped him before without Will telling the others#hence his weird vibe in s3… like he’s already successfully fucked with Will post s2 potentially with us being none the wiser aka here we go

How dare this character not have emerged from the primordial ooze having known all the truths of the world. How dare they not have learned the lessons they haven’t been taught yet. How can they not know what I, an omniscient reader with different lived experiences, know. THE NOOSE FOR THEM!
What am I supposed to do? Watch them go through an entire character arc? What a waste of my time. They are supposed to be perfect and stay stagnantly perfect for the whole story. Lest I enjoy a character that makes a mistake or was ever wrong. They should be perfect, like me.
#i see too many takes of people mad at characters before development#like the point of the story is that they change babe#they are supposed to be wrong and make mistakes and learn#why are you engaging with a story if all you want is a character that is perfect and does perfect things#is it because you want to self-insert and not confront deeper human truths?#it’s probably because you want to self-insert and don’t want to confront deeper human truths lol#writing#reading#fandoms#house of the dragon#game of thrones

When you write a poem, you discover that the very necessity of fitting your meaning into such and such a form requires you to search in your imagination for new meanings. You reject certain ways of saying it; you select others, always trying to form the poem again. In your forming, you arrive at new and more profound meanings than you had even dreamed of.
— Rollo May

here's a hot take for today
the narrative function of sex is the same as the narrative function of fight scenes is the same as the narrative function of songs in a musical
no i will not explain
#taz talks#writing#actually i WILL explain but i'll do it in the tags#these each serve the same function within their respective appropriate genres#each one is a kind of revelation#they heighten the connection between 2+ characters and highlight relationships and feelings and needs#they are out of place in genres where they do not belong and/or as curveballs when the narrative did not provoke them from the start#but they have the same sort of emotional/dramatic build-up#talk -> sing -> dance (talk -> yell -> stab) ((talk -> flirt -> You Know))#and they are all expressions of intense physicality and intimacy through physical gesture and interaction#they are fundamentally empty and boring if there is not a deeper purpose or drive behind them#although they can still occasionally be entertaining on their own if your audience is specifically seeking that experience out#people who do not like them will be very unhappy to encounter one where it isn't supposed to be#it is very easy to ruin the mood with poor word choice#many people have an inherent sense for terrible ones but it's often difficult or complicated to explain precisely why a bad one fails#when executed properly they are a very raw and intimate expression of a character's most fundamental needs and desires#the fluff is stripped away and there is nothing left but a series of needs. conflicting or cooperating.#and even when you're lying during one it's still a form of truth#none of these things are remotely necessary to tell a powerful or compelling story but if you're going to use them you need to do it right#also all 3 of these things are difficult if not impossible to write if you are not both interested in them and personally invested#this post brought to you by me trying to write smut about my dnd characters and failing because i generally hate /reading/ smut#so i have none of the vocabulary or instinct for it that i do for. say. graphic violence (or lyrical poetry)

Brief summary of what I think of Elven ages/what I use as a basis in my writing and headcanons
@eunoiaastralwings kindly asked me to share my thoughts which I'll do in my own post since it felt impolite to place it underneath hers :)
When it comes to Elves aging and the like I usually go off of what's written in Laws and Customs of the Elder (LaCE), though please keep in mind that I don't treat LaCE as gospel, not just because it's debatable how "canon" the writings in Morgoth's Ring and other similar sources are, but also because there are elements in it that I don't like too much.
LaCE states that Elven children grow more swiftly in mind compared to mortal children, so that they learn to speak within a year or so and with their "will" also master their bodies faster, as seen with things like walking or dancing that they also learn this early.
However, they take more time to fully grow in body; by the time a human is fully grown, an Elf is stated to physically resemble a 7-year-old. Elves are fully grown at around 50, though it can take up to 100. I see this age range as comparable to 18-25 in humans. It's also around that time that Fëanor and Nerdanel married, so they were young, but not kids anymore. It was also fairly common for Elves to marry "in their youth".
From that point on, Elves do age in a way - despite their immortality - but it's a verrrry slow process. There are three cycles of life that can be loosely defined as childhood & adolescence, adulthood and, for lack of a better term, old age. This third cycle is only for extremely old Elves like Círdan and with the exception of Mahtan also the only time they can grow beards. This "aging process" of Elves is not temporally fixed and correlates more with "world-weariness" brought on by grief than any physical aging (Elves do not age physically after reaching maturity) or passage of time; once again Círdan and especially Gwindor serve as examples.
I get the impression that, due to the rarity of bearded Elves, there aren't many that reached this third cycle, at least not that we see. So in my eyes an Elf can be several thousand years old and still be comparable to middle-aged and even young human adults, depending on how much grief they experienced or how sheltered they were. Lúthien for example was over 3000 years old at the time of her first death, but lived the vast majority of her life in Doriath where she was well taken care of and protected by her mother's power. Her Elven aging may also have been even slower to due her Maiarin heritage (also if anyone wants to hear my thoughts and headcanons on Ainurin aging, let me know).
So yeah, these are my thoughts and what I make of the information I've encountered. I also just want to say that while I do like joking about the age gaps in Elf/human or even Ainu/human pairings, I don't think we can go by numbers only if immortals are involved. As always, everyone has their own level of comfort with shipping dynamics and that is alright :)
#elves#headcanons#thoughts#silmarillion#elven ages#looking into this explains also so much about valinor and some deeper and possibly sadder truths#i could/should make a post about that too

andrew and neil love each other so beautifully, never facing away from each other and their demons, learning to trust when it’s probably one of the hardest thing for both of them.
the way neil trusts andrew to hold all of his secrets secure and not shy away from every ugly truth neil has to reveal. the way andrew trust neil to stop when he needs him to, to shield andrew from the rest of the world when it gets too much. the way andrew trusts neil to watch over his family. the way they are both broken by so many things but so whole for each other. the way they are learning to be tender with each other when they never knew tenderness in their lives. the way neil’s first intention was to let andrew protect him and fight for him and in the end it’s neil who would give up anything to make sure andrew is safe. the way andrew pretends so hard he doesn’t care about anything but he cares for neil so deeply and so intensely it makes him angry with neil because he’s breaking andrews walls. the way everyone called andrew an uncontrollable monster but it was neil who told andrew “i want to see you lose control” perfectly knowing how composed andrew actually is and how much he holds back. the way neil was trying so hard to stay unnoticed and forgotten but was the center of andrews attention since the very beginning. they way neither of them thought they’d have this and get to love and be loved. i just. i just love them so much.
#y’all it’s been more than a year since i first read aftg and every day i wake up loving them more#andreil invented love#they hold their love in tender touches forehead kisses and swollen lips from too much kissing#they hold their love in every truth they tell each other willingly#they hold their love in every boundary they slowly break letting the other deeper and closer#they hold their love in deep bone understanding of each other#id die for them#they make me feel so many things#neil burns with gentle fire whener andrew kisses his scarred cheeks#i adore them#and they adore each other and isn’t it beautiful#all for the game#aftg series#andrew minyard#neil josten#aftg andrew#aftg neil#neil x andrew#andreil#the foxhole court
