"I walked along with the lingering thought that I knew nothing about the history of my late father and the lineage of my black ancestors; my ancestral memory felt akin to the iridescent surface of a bubble, like a feeling of loss upon awakening from a dream impossible for me to recall.
This series feels like the abstract idea that I have of myself, the acceptance that forgetting is also a starting point and a fleeting, necessary memory. Sama Guent Guii, in which my memory is a dream.
We are never the same when we wake up.
I have to think about this more...I see in me, deep within me, the traces of my ancestors. I am the past that resurfaces. A past that cannot be destroyed, nor diminished. I am the sedimentary rock of this fossilized past, the trace of living organisms...abstract in sensation...in reverie...
Where am I from? Who am I?
I am the past which reappears
I am what is transformed by their memories and my memories
I am these black bodies that I do not recognize
I am this blur
I am made of memory and oblivion
I am this monument of nature, this being that is continually being reborn
This other, who sees themselves as the other."
--Mame-Diarra Niang

Every time I watch Dune I forget about it but I'm foaming at the mouth over how Paul has a vision of himself as a powerful, respected, divine figure with millions worshipping him and he just says "Somebody help me"
#AND NO ONE!!!!!!!! DOES!!!!!!!!#HE LIES DOWN IN THE GRAVE OF HIS OWN LEGEND AND HIS OWN FRIENDS AND WORSHIPPERS ADD DIRT TO HIS PIT#HIS OWN MOTHER SINGS HIS PRAISES AND BUILDS HIS PEDESTAL WHILE HE LOSES PARTS OF HIMSELF#EVEN CHANI CAN ONLY WATCH#eternally fucked up how Jessicas response to his “thousands worshipping at the shrine of my fathers skull” is essentially just#“yes you are my son! you are Duke Paul Atreides! this is your birthright#“i am so proud of you!” NO YOU EUGENIST FREAK YOUR SON IS FUCKING DOOMED#dune#dune 2021#paul atreides#dune part 1

the modern villainisation of demeter will never cease to enrage me bc it wasn’t ENOUGH to just take a story of a girl being torn from her home from everyone who loved her and dragged away to be forced into marriage and twist and corrupt it until it was a romance story about female empowerment that wasn’t ENOUGH they HAD to take the original hero of the story the mother who went to every length to find her daughter again to bring her home and demonise her character until she was this horrific overbearing unloving mother. overprotective controlling without love. they turn the story of her grief at her YOUNG daughter being torn from her without her knowledge into the story of a misunderstood bad boy and a horrible cruel mother who won’t give him a chance and i really find it sickening. it’s ironic, that the ever misogynist age of hellenistic greece, has a better grasp of how disgusting and horrifying this situation was that a modern, self proclaimed ‘feminist’ era.
#ovids version made me cry#imagine you’re just a nymph watching your friend torn away from you by the literal king of the dead#and despite knowing how powerless you are against him you still choose to stand up to him#to stand up for your friend#imagine being so torn apart by the grief of losing her you weep yourself to death#imagine turning that story into a good girl/bad boy romance#weird#anyway#the story of persephone is personal to me#bc i wish my mother loved me like that#demeter was a good mother#you all suck for portraying her as anything less#idc if you disagree#‘oh myth is open to interpretation and reinterpretation’#okay. well i don’t care.#there’s such thing as bad interpretations#making demeter the villain is a bad one#making hades a misunderstood protagonist is also a bad one

The Marriage of Aegon III and Jaehaera Targaryen.
They are so Henry VII Elizabeth of York coded...
#imagine you lose your entire family you're forced to marry the daughter of the man who killed your mother#(but she's still family)#your mother was eaten by a dragon and your new wife has a dragon herself#you marry a boy. you don't know him. he has your father's name. his mother put a bounty on your baby brothers head#(but he's still family there is no one else)#Aegon/Jaehaera dynamic would have ate and DEVOURED#literally one of the most tragic Targaryen failmarriages of all time!!!#'you don't want Aegon to be happy!!!' no he's a fictional character I want to be entertained !!!#tell me honestly there's not more meat to this story if Jaehaera lived. aren't things more complex.#jaehaera would be so isolated Aegon at least has Viserys and his sisters who does she have. Gaemon Palehair? maybe#asoiaf#hotd#aegon iii x jaehaera#aegon iii targaryen#jaehaera targaryen#house targaryen#dance of dragons#jaehaegon

Vulcan's hottest punk band is Kolinahrsty, with their hit single "I Purged All Of My Emotions To Piss Off My Dad"
#star trek#star trek tos#vulcan#vulcans#kolinahr#kollinahrsty#vulcan punk#cousin to uptown funk#I did write a vulcan funk parody once#anyway spock is the frontman probably#we were talking in the discord about a book where sybok's mother left sarek to achieve kolinahr#and so what better way to bug your dad than to also leave for kolinahr#meaning sarek loses the battle of who has better emotional control sitting there with his human wife#kolinahr can be petty too#spock#sarek#sybok#amanda grayson

realizing so much of jinx's s2 storyline is being forced to speedrun a mile in vi's shoes. cackling
#cosmically mandated karmic get along t shirt#but like. accidentally ends up having to older sister-mother a child -> seen as some sort of hope for revolution#(which we don't get a tonnn of on screen with vi but there is#absolutely something notable in how everyone seems to Know Her and who she is at 15)#-> loses what she was protecting -> gets jailed#like. lmaooo. the universe is saying you WILL understand your poor sister's point of view so help me god#i was obvs aware that ishas's presence is a way of making jinx empathize with vi but i hadn't really thought about the rest of it#arcane#jinx

What if instead of the tailor of enbizaka it was the tailor of 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂zaka and instead of killing the miroku women kayo got 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂 with mei and became an older sister figure to miku and rin
#evillious chronicles#sudou kayo#miroku mei#was gonna say 'mother figure' but then I remembered that kayo is like 20#and like she should've been at the club etc etc and all#but like holy shit imagine losing your son and yout husband and getting terribly burned at SIXTEEN#rahab was so crazy for leaving her alone at that age

Thinking about how Calder went to extreme lengths to transform himself into a dragon (made armor based on it, tattood his literal entire body, kidnapped people just to have Hiccup and Toothless be his missing fire and wings) while Hiccup is seen as Other throughout the franchise without even trying.
#how unlike the rest of berk he is#how easy it is for him to understand and be understood by dragons#described as something superhuman by the outcasts in their first ep#the twins say he's magic#johann pretty much losing his mind over hiccup ''will not die when he's supposed to'' haddock#how he keeps getting villains to go to his side or die (no in between)#how his villains always obsess over him in some way or another#astrid's ''he's the greatest dragon master this world has ever seen''#hiccup admitting in the serpent's heir that he has always felt different#being called a literal demon in thw#having a mother who's just as Other as him#httyd movies#httyd#how to train your dragon#hiccup haddock
