Were Rustem and Hürrem the predecessor of Criston and Alicent? 🤔

[egophiliac]

I have SO many thoughts about everything and they are in no kind of order yet, so here's just some quick little bits in the meantime!

I am not normal about any of these characters!

[manichewitz]

sam and frodo’s relationship is so crazy theyre like what if we had a homoerotic adventurer’s bond that was so strong it overcame the power of supreme evil, saving not just the world but one another, and the only reason we were able to survive the violence around us was through sheer love for each other, and although we’re not canonically lovers our relationship is so much more intimate and tender than acceptable norms for male/male relationships that we transcend easily definable labels and thus become queer irregardless of whether our attraction is platonic, romantic, or sexual…and we were both hobbits

Everything about these moments makes me sob.

For this little kid, who’s not only non-verbal but also has broken horns, to come up to Fizz and communicate how much they love and look up to him and how much Fizz inspires them, it’s a reminder of why Fizz loves performing. It’s about the audience. All of the different types of people in the audience. Impacting them and giving them an experience they’ll never forget.

Fizz used to be that audience. He was that little kid who was inspired to pursue performing and now he gets to inspire kids too. And he especially gets to inspire those kids who are just like him.

He might’ve been a teenager when he was injured, but that doesn’t change the impact Fizz has on people as a disabled person who is still able to live his life how he wants it.

Like he said last episode, he’s not broken. He has his prosthetic limbs, he has Ozzie, someone who loves him, and a thriving career.

So having this little kid with a disability and the same broken horns as Fizz, it truly shows how impactful Fizz as a disabled performer is.

This kid is inspired that someone who has a disability like them is able to live out their dream. Fizz is a reminder that they too can achieve their dream of performing no matter what.

And the fact Fizz was able to communicate with this little kid, you can see that meant everything. The way their eyes light up each time Fizz responds is truly incredible.

Fizz is able to be the role model for this kid that Mammon should’ve been for him.

Not to mention that Fizz’s own broken horns aren’t known to the public, this little kid doesn’t know Fizz also looks like them in this regard, Fizz hides his horns under his jester hat so he looks “perfect”, but this kid’s broken horns are out and proud. This kid is not ashamed, and Fizz shouldn’t be either.

This is part of who they are and we see Fizz embrace every part of himself during his final performance when he rips apart his clothes to show off his prosthetic arms and scarred body.

And that thank you to this kid that Fizz gives them, it’s not only a thank you for being part of the audience, it’s a thank you for reminding him why he loves performing and that they inspired him too.

Fizz sees himself in this little kid just as this little kid sees themself in Fizz and I think that’s beautiful.

I think the second most beautiful thing about Furiosa and Jack (the first, of course, being the "My Jack", "My Fury" scene that still hits me like a throat punch) is that they didn't try to shoehorn in a typical romance. They didn't try to force today's version of what a relationship looks like onto these two because it would have never worked.

They took Furiosa, a girl who lost everything so early, that had only been the object of powerful men, who was forced over and over and over again to relearn everything she knew at the behest of monsters dressed as leaders, and gave her the Praetorian Jack, a man in a position of power that never took anything from her at all.

Dementus took her mother, took her home, and took her voice from her under the guise of affection. She was not a person, but an appendage forcefully attached to him.

Immortan Joe, for as kindly (very loose definition of kindly) as he treated his wives, saw her as nothing more than a womb, an object that he could use to birth a boy to continue his iron rule over the Citadel. He took her personhood, her childhood, just as surely as Dementus did. They both kept her in a gilded cage that she had no hope of escaping.

Then, she became a boy, and she was still only an appendage in the great war machine of Joe. She worked with the War Boys and the Black Thumbs as a replaceable piece of his engine that would someday lose its function or die.

And when she finally, finally, gets a chance to escape, to try (and most likely fail) to go back to a home that she can't even be sure exists anymore, she loses that, too. Except, this time, the man who comes back for her doesn't offer her a cage but a key. He sees in her a picture of himself, someone who has learned to be savage by force and not by choice.

He gives her a place to learn to be a person again, gives her the tools and resources to survive, gives her the limited autonomy that his position of power brings, and eventually even gives her his own past without taking anything from her at all. He gives her all of this and then was completely willing to let her go, never presuming that he would be allowed to go with her, only wanting to help her get wherever that was. And when she chooses him, chooses to trust him with the peach pit, he looks absolutely gutted, like he never thought in his wildest dreams that she would.

Their relationship is ambiguous when you look at them through the lens of modern relationships, but it is so beautiful in the context of the world that they find themselves forced into because it is a relationship that they chose. It doesn't matter if they never kissed, or never said "I love you", because it was never about that. It was about choosing each other over and over again, trusting each other with their squishiest places, and knowing for a fact that they would never hurt each other.

Praetorian Jack was a mentor, a peer, and the only person that Furiosa had ever been allowed to choose and he chose her right back.

I just started reading the svsss volumes (and re-read them again because A LOT IS GOING ON) but like. This shit is so hysterically funny I don't even know where to begin.

Was no one????? Going to tell me that one of the cornerstone jokes in the damn series is that lbh's adoration for his one and only 'tism person who literally cannot express his emotions to save his life is basically genetic?????????

Was no one???? No one AT ALL going to tell me that Mobei-Jun straight up yeets Airplane at the problem in one of the scenes?????? And that in the most hilarious twist of fate Airplane then unyeets Mobei-Jun not twenty minutes later?????

It's one thing to see people joke about sqq and lbh being unable to communicate but it's on a league of its own when you have to read HUNDREDS OF PAGES of sqq's inner monologue be like 'that's my darling boy. my baby. my sugar plum pumpy umpkin you're my sweetie pie' but on the outside he says "get lost binghe" and somehow deems that an effective expression of his affection that lbh will surely understand. 'Why is lbh whining and crying and tugging at my sleeve like a plaintive wife, why is he so angry?' Sqq asks, the entire circus, as lbh is about to fling himself off a cliff for attention--

In short, MXTX is the queer comedian of our generation and nobody appreciates her enough

Hi! So i was looking at the beautiful camelot kiss in the background (and the Alicole of it all) and i was wondering ,are you an arthuriana fan ?

Also ,i really need to start watching The Magnificent Century and i wanted to ask you two things on it .

1)What do you think are the strong and the weak points of the show ?

2)Where did you watch said show?

Have a good day/night !

Hi! Coincidentally, there is always some arthur stuff in my tl, but I never watched any movies or series. However I like the legend and it's very intriguing (guy puts out a sword becomes king and his wife have an affair with this knight, there is a dumbledore doing magic and he has a sister too). But beyond the legend, who's to say that there wasn't a guy who suddenly became King, folklore and ancient believes told by this ancient guy, and the King's wife had an affair? This is something that people would want to talk about but also hide.

Girl you have to watch it!!!!! I can't wait 🙈🙈

1. I think one strong point is the mix of fiction and fact, we have recordings and letters but they really built this day-to-day routine with the characters in the Palace, like how the slaves arrive, the Muslim calendar and traditions, the world of women/world of men, they tried to embellish the High of the Ottoman Life. One think that I really really love is the fact that they didn't took the personality of the slaves girls and outsiders, like Hurrem still sings and uses much of her Rus/Ukranian pride, and she was known as Rossa Solimana (the Russian of Suleyman), or the probable origins of Nurbanu as a noble woman/noble bastard. It's an interesting feature.

Also, the amount of characters beyond the main ones and the minor stories are very interesting in building the world and side happenings, it's very similar to the Brazilian novels, so for me it was a bonus.

The weakest for me is: Nigar's story, like they really messed it up, you'll see. The costumes, no matter how pretty, they could and should have gone full turban, no men allowed, henna, arsenic paste, the lessons of turkish, read, write and recite the Quaran, like it was done in the past, and etc. I believe they also failed to show Hurrem with more significance as the favorite and wife. She had a title created for her, the first to use it, she was above dynastic Princess, she was The first lady. Though I really like how they worked in her growth, I believe it wasn't explored to it's maximum.

2. At the time I watched in yt, but it was like three episodes with english subs, a bunch episodes in spanish, cut scenes, some other things in Turkish, and yeah it was a struggle.

Anyway, thanks for asking! Looking forward for the next one hahaha 💚💚

Have a good day/night!

ok I'm incapable of being quiet about this so. I'm thinking about how incomprehensible God's love is and. friends. friends. when we say that God is love do you realize what that means? think about the weight of the truest, most intense love you've felt. think about how your heart jumps when you miss someone dear to you so much it hurts. think about how peaceful it is to be near someone you love and trust completely while you both go about mundane daily tasks. think about the joy of an embrace that knows you so well it feels like your soul is singing. now. God's love is more than that. So much realer and truer than our love that what we know now is like seeing in a mirror dimly. I always think of Romans 8 and stand in awe--what can separate us from that kind of love? Nothing!!! Emmanuel, God With Us, Love Incarnate, so much more than our idea of what love looks like and the true reality of what love is. "This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins."

I love this short little scene here. The SECOND Fizz’s expression changed, Oliver picked up on it & was immediately concerned. This kid admires & looks up to Fizz, but he seems to also genuinely care about him as not just a celebrity, but as a real person; something so many others don’t & I love him for that.

Even when Fizz is gently guiding Oliver away, the kid sees through Fizz’s “I’m fine” cover, and is still concerned for him.
