i don't even have a smart or funny caption for this one because what the fuck does these looks from erik even mean. why is he looking at charles like he wants to climb him like a tree. why does he look so painfully fond. i'm convinced this man got his ass taken over by erik lehnsherr's real spirit in this scene and he was being puppetered around like ratatouille or venom. what were even simon kimberg's indications here i'm so confused

Oh. I’m terrified.

[mummer]

just saw asteroid city last night, pls explain the proposed significance of the kiss!!

answering this publicly hope thats ok! cant do a readmore im on mobile *****asteroid city spoilers below beware*****

i dont remember anyones names so this is gonna sound partly unhinged. okay so the edward norton playwright and jason schwartzman actor (not character, in the black and white parts) are lovers right. tbh i thought this was kind of a gag and forgot about it. but later we find out that the playwright died 6 months into the production. i didnt make the connection that THAT’s why the actor-jason has to suddenly leave the stage and freaks out backstage about how he’s not sure he’s Doing it right. hes not talking about acting!! because he himself is literally grieving his lover while he’s playing a character who’s grieving his wife written by his lover so obviously it’s too much!!! actor-jason is trying to find meaning in his death through his writing but there isnt any meaning in death [gerris drinkwater voice] which is what the play is trying to say anyway. he doesnt think he’s performing grief right even in his own life!!! (and tbh it’s the 50s so he wouldnt be able to perform grief publicly anyway!!!!) the play starts with a car accident… anyone would search for some hidden meaning there, some sign…. so when he talks to margot robbie outside it’s not really about finding the CHARACTER’s motivations it’s about the actor himself being able to process the playwright’s death! and adrien brody director was probably also dealing with that too (him and norton seemed to be good buddies) so the whole “sleeping backstage” thing gets a bit sadder maybe? maybe everyone else got this in the theatre and im just stupid lol but crazy making stuff to me!!! the whole story is about sublimated gay grief that cannot be expressed?!?!

the tweet that caught me onto this was here which posits that the playwright’s death was a suicide but i think that’s pretty stupid and unnecessary because the whole thing about the play asteroid city is that death is random and meaningless. im pretty sure that’s what the alien represents— a shocking and absurd event that isnt outright evil or menacing, not something anyone can predict or make sense of, it’s just a thing that happens to you out of nowhere, it doesnt mean anything. he’s a little black figure, he’s death! giving and taking! aagh

Okay I’m rereading that scene in ACOMAF where Feyre first comes to the Court of Nightmares for the fic I’m writing and BRUHHHHH.

I can’t do it. It’s so fucking cringey. I can’t. I’m literally cringing so hard as I read it 😭😭

I can’t believe I devoured this shit when I read it for the first time 💀💀💀

Okay so I saw someone say that Sam taught Eric to be brave and Eric taught Sam to be kind and while I don't disagree completely, I do think it's a bit of an over simplification. Sam is shown being kind multiple times before she meets Eric(mainly to kids) with her whole thing being pushing people away. With the fountain kids this is easier than Eric because they have each other and they're not as afraid of being alone* in the way Eric is. She's not afraid of being kind she's afraid of letting someone in because she's going to either leave them or have them leave her.

Which is why! I love the jacket so much! I think Sam knew she was going to sacrifice herself at the bookstore. She realized this guy had wormed his way into her heart and that once she had her peace she was going to get him out. Once she accepts this they talk about her father quite a few times and it becomes clear that he was a very loving man and Eric helps her reconnect with that memory of him and remember who she is(the line "Thank you for bringing me home" is so... so good I can't even describe it). And so what does she do when they're heading back to the boats? She wraps him in the bright yellow cardigan. At that point I had assumed it was because it stood out from the city much better than anything else they had. I actually was confused why she didn't change in her apartment(Etic not taking off his damn tie don't even get me started-) but it becomes clear at the end that the cardigan is the last piece of her dad she still had. And so she takes that reminder of the most important person in her life, wraps a man she's known less than a week in a physical emboidmemt of her love and care and her story and sends him off with cat to live. When I saw the picture with her father it clicked what she had done and the significance of it and that's damn good story telling.

*side note she definitely accidentally got them killed because that scene with everyone together was totally the death angels waiting to get the most people together to strike but anyways-

You know what i have gathered so far from reading the latter half of acotar? Rhysand is just. Stupid

Everything he did to ‘protect’ and ‘save’ Feyre UtM was either useless (the sa, it brought attention to feyre and the drinking caused her to not have time to focus on the riddle) or so contrived and unnecessarily cruel its almost useless (the deal thing is so confusing and how he treated her was not necessary) that when I think about it its idiotic!

this carries into the other books. He could have just asked Tarquin for the book, Rhysand continues to hide and keep important information from Feyre knowing it will make her mad and theres no reason, especially the pregnancy thing!

HES JUST STUPID!

Which could be funny and interesting if sjm leaned into it.
