i think the "it's rotten work. not to me, not if it's you" quote feels different when you're disabled or neurodivergent or ill in some way. in some translations we get the context that Orestes is specifically worried that it's disgusting or unpleasant to touch someone who's sick.

Philip Vellacott (1972)

David Kovacs (2002)

Orestes, even when talking to someone so close to him, cant help but feel like a weight to those who love him. he sees himself as disgusting, revolting to look at or to touch. a burden to be taken care of.

and while in many translations Pylades replies with "Not for me", in some he also just reaffirms he will do it.

William Arrowsmith (1958)

Kenneth McLeish (1997)

Pylades doesn't care whether the task is hard, unpleasant. I'll do it. he cares for Orestes and he will take care of him regardless of how difficult it might be. what Pylades is saying with Not for me, not if it's you, is that even if Orestes feels like a burden himself, Pylades doesn't see taking care of him as a burden, and even if it is, he will do it anyway. because he loves him no matter what.

not to me if its you because i want to take care of you. because its you. because i care about you. because i want to do it for you.

i have seen a lot of posts about lucanis & illario lately, that specifically call out that some of the things Lucanis says about him are kinda mean. usually in context of 'yes what illario did was fucked up but they BOTH went thru the fucked up training and lucanis says shit to him too' etc etc. and i'll be honest as someone who does have a contentious/estranged/very-low-contact sibling relationship. everything lucanis said came off as super mild to me and they should both be WAY nastier to each other actually. yes even when you include their dynamic in wigmaker job which was both more lighthearted And heartfelt. but like if you want realism they should be going from that to 1 minute later annoyed enough to break out the super cutting remarks dragging up the worst things the other has ever done/said, specifically becuause they know it will hurt the other most. then i would believe it more tbh.

Their dynamic so strange eugh

Atrax craves affection and is willing to do anything to attain it, looking for any semblance of being wanted.

He wants to be loved.

Verno doesn’t understand how anything would want to be affectionate towards him, and does not know how to accept/reciprocate such affection as he has felt like none of it before.

He usually wants to be forgotten.

They’re in the same castle nearly 24/7 this cannot end well

Bocchi the Rock is unironically the most accurate representation of how growing up with severe social anxiety felt like to me, even with all the usual anime exaggerations the core of it is WAY TOO ACCURATE (honestly even the exaggerations are)

I should rewatch cause my memory is choppy (or maybe I should finally read the manga) but man I remember my heart literally pounding cause the exact way I've felt and had never seen expressed was right in front of me (The whole show made my heart pound tbh, it's VERY good)

Spambots are really pissing me off... And so I created this.

Anyone else ever look in a mirror and think "wow, that person is so pretty! But that's not me though."

Not to get deep here or anything but i really think i dont want to have a relationship with my sister anymore and ive been reflecting on that a lot. like sure she didnt abuse me or really do anything to directly traumatize me, but she voted against me having human rights because im queer, as well as voting for a party that wants to harm first nations people despite both of us being first nations i just.... i dont think i can forgive her for that. weve had laughs and good times together but i find myself unable to forgive her for her politics. i wouldn't tolerate bigotry from anyone else, i shouldnt tolerate it from someone just cause theyre family.

Just realized that I unconsciously created a really nice thing with Grian, Pearl and Jimmy that I didn't even notice until right now.

In the beginning of Even Gods Cry I mentioned that Grian really likes the stars. He knows every constellation and can map out the entire night sky with ease. Pearl is the exact same with the moon and she can throw out any little fact about the moon with ease. In Watcher lore that I've seen the stars and moon are often used as ways that the Watchers observe.

In a complete opposite way Jimmy loves the sun. I haven't published the chapter yet, but it's mentioned that Jimmy is obsessed with the sun. The sun has no ties to the Watchers, in fact it almost replaces them, shuts them out when they've been watching all night.

The three siblings are the sun, the moon, and the stars and I think that really explains them. Two are drawn to the night, and they are the ones that are influenced by the Watcher's most dramatically in this fic while Jimmy has nothing to with them.

Just some thoughts really.

woke up at 4am feeling the weight of my life crushing me, so I’ve been sitting out in my car for the last couple of hours because I just need. to. be. somewhere else.
