Sure is interesting how Ulysses can be reviled for something as mild as “talks too much” when the Think Tank insta-locking you into a 45 minute dialogue tree is praised as great writing 🤔
#also saying that a black man talks too much when almost all his dialogue is either philosophical musings on imperialism#or confronting you on your role in the destruction of his home sure is 🤔🤔🤔#makes you think!#queue#fallout new vegas#Ulysses#think tank more like stink tank

currently having thoughts about icarus/wax wings ivantill its the sacrifice its bringing him closer to the sun even as ivan melts, its till crashing to the ground in ivans efforts to bring him higher
its desperately grasping for what burns you and the freedom of flight
also ivan as an imitation of something else, till who molded ivan into the shape of freedom, the fall to the earth after reaching for the sun with nothing left but burning wax on your shoulder blades
icarus/wax wings is a rarepair comparison in contrast to icarus/sun comparisons, but ive always liked the romance of wax wings!!!
the wax wings that try to bring icarus to the realm of the gods, and icarus whos nothing but human
ivans devotion to his "god" and till who saw ivan as an equal
till who falls to the earth as a human when the one elevating him to the status of divinity is gone
its the fall that makes icarus human, and its flying icarus to the sun despite everything that makes the wax wings a just little human too
#i know that the interpretation of sun till and icarus ivan might be more common#but i think the sun totally fits as mizi or just. the general concept of freedom that till reaches for#the thing to them that doesnt make it icarus ivan is that ivan never experiences the “fall” to me#its the sun that never notices even as icarus's wings fail#but till does notice! right at the end! he has ivan in his gaze!#if it was icarus ivan#then the story would be that he does reach the sun. even as he burns to death in its core then at least he reached it#till cant reach ivan without ivan burning is the case here then?#this too is yaoi#makes you think!#im normal#ivantill#alnst ivan#alnst till#alnst#alien stage#icarus#wax wings#ivan alnst#till alnst

He left the grave with us for our safekeeping, and he trusted the ones who built the tomb a myriad ago to wall themselves up with the corpse and die there.
what's up just thinking about this passage in gideon the ninth
[...] Anastasia's body without the meat on it, snuggled right into the curve of the rock, ready to close the door whenever it was opened.
in relation to this one in nona. nbd

Stockholm syndrome does not exist. It was invented after failed bank robbery in Stockholm to cover incompetence of police handling the hostage situation in 1973. Hostages were told they are unreliable witnesses to it because of that just invented syndrome.
So in fact hostages were being gaslighted by the state into believing they fell in love with their captor. And that's even hotter if you think about it.

“I don’t want to turn into you.” / “You’ve been like me since you were eight years old.”
house & foreman / “cool about it,” boygenius
#thinking about these 2 is like chewing gravel#the distortion in the mirror#the one you despise the one you pity the one you love despite yourself#you turn around leave and come back and the reflection’s still there#FUN FACT: getting these images was somewhat difficult because f&h are almost always portrayed in shot/reverse shot#MAKES YOU THINK!#house md#eric foreman#gregory house#my posts#drugs ///

Huge shout outs to my mutual who always posts about hating when his art gets attention or understanding genuinely helped me celebrate when my art reaches the point where it's only fan or audience is myself. Much like squidward. From spongeb ob

I love that Cold Case does the transition between the past and present players in each case regardless of whether it’s been seventy years or three years.
#this old woman was once a little girl in pigtails#versus a couple of years ago this woman had a different haircut#makes you think!#cold case#also: in this episode a character says ‘f*gmobile’#not a sympathetic character to be clear

Happy wip Wednesday!
While this segment is vague on purpose, in context we can infer that Eadwulf is with Fjord and Jester.
--
Hands on him— wet. It’s wet— his clothes? Gone. There’s something— a sponge.
He’s being bathed.
His body is not his own. It doesn't respond to any effort to move, not even to open his eyes. He can feel the hands as they roll him, feel the sweat and grime caked to his skin. Can feel the ache in every muscle, can feel the mattress under him. Hands lift his arms, moving quickly to wash him. Two, he thinks. Two pairs. Two people.
He was touched before. He recalls biting.
These hands are gentle. The scents around him are familiar.
Far, far away in his mind he thinks of Bren. Alone in Vergesson. Strange hands must have touched him. Eadwulf put him there. He chose Astrid, over Bren. He chose Trent, over everything.
They never wanted him.
He was always their means to an end. All the pain he’s caused, the misery he endured, and it was all for nothing.
He can't imagine any of them taking the time to clean him. To tend to him when he is so weak.
He groans. It’s not an attempt at words, or a snarl, though it might have started as either.
The washing stops. A hand touches his face, lifts his chin.
“Eadwulf? Can you hear me? You don't have to fight anymore. You’re safe now.”
The groan becomes a sob.
#wip#a life of little things series#:)#is Eadwulf a biased narrator? does he have a completely accurate view of people in his life?#makes you think!#but hey something something soft animal of your body#something something stray dog being shown a morsel of kindness#why is Eadwulf comatose and requiring spongebaths?#well.... ;).... you know...... 🤫

ok, the thing is that there are six episodes left before succession is over — which, for this show? is a lot of time. and, like, even if we see an arc starting to coalesce before us, i still think there are multiple directions that this could go. like —
i don't think it's an accident that on the paper, "kendall" is mostly underlined, but the rest of his name appears to be crossed out. kendall's soul being doomed by the narrative to not escape the cycle and become his father would be some masterful storytelling, but i can't help but think there's more to this. it's still early; we have six episodes left. these writers don't give up the gambit that fast. just some food for thought.
#like. i love this show. it is LAYERED#makes you think!#this is far from over. they've got more to this#kendall roy#succession

please i love you i'm begging you bring back suspension of disbelief bring back trusting the audience like. i cannot handle any more dialogue that sounds like a legal document. "hello, i am here to talk to you about the incident from a few minutes ago, because i feel you might be unwell, and i am invested in your personal wellbeing." "thank you, i am unwell because the incident was hurtful to me due to my childhood, which was bad." I CANT!!!!
do you know how many people are mad that authors use "growled" as a word for "said"? it's just poetics! they do not literally mean "growled," it's just a common replacement for "said with force but in a low tone." it's normal! do you hear me!! help me i love you please let me out of here!!!
#i am so sick of writers having to anticipate the most boring#bad-faith readings of their work. i am like - if you use cheese as a currency#okay! as long as the world makes sense to me: cool. cheese tax. moving on.#my job as the reader is to suspend my disbelief and say okay! i am so sick of like#fanfiction authors having to write dissertations#because they had an interesting idea they'd like to try out!!!#just write it! if it doesn't make sense that's someone else's problem!!!#PS OP is autistic. yes sometimes i take things literally at first glance. then i think about it lol#this is so clearly not about accessibility etc. it's about like. girl even i an autistic person#am able to understand ''they probably didn't mean his eyes darkened LITERALLY''
