#or it could mean nothing

ok so i’ve been rewatching some episodes, as one does, and this conversation from the beginning of S2 stuck out to me. Louis mentions earlier how Armand was against inviting Daniel to Dubai and here he sounds weirdly spiteful, weirdly specific about him.

Now I don’t know for sure if the writers will give us more of their past interactions but it would make sense if Armand is speaking from experience. Like he’s been there before, like Daniel once got him to open up too and he bitterly regretted it.

It could also be that he’s simply covering up his own fear of being found out because “wants you in pieces for the privilege of putting them back together as he sees fit” is very much what Armand was doing to Louis

I will never not be stuck on the thought that Buck wasn't even trying to dig for Eddie after the well collapse, he was simply trying to bury himself too

“Over and over he watched Ridley Scott's Blade Runner, fascinated by Rutger Hauer…”

Description of Armand in “The story of Daniel, the Devil’s Minion”/ The Queen of the Damned

“I’ve seen things you people wouldn't believe... All those moments will be lost in time… like tears in rain.”

Roy Batty (Rutger Hauer), Blade Runner

“Your memory is a monster; you forget - it doesn’t.”

John Irving, “A Prayer for Owen Meany”

Daniel Molloy: “Note to self, everything related to Claudia from this point forward is without written corroboration.”

Louis: “Just our memories of her.”

Daniel: “… However porous they come.”

self destruction really is such a fascinating human response to various factors both external and internal. what if sisyphus could leave at any time but kept rolling the boulder up the hill just to watch it roll back down anyway. what if he kept pushing it even as the rock cut into his palms and his legs began to ache with the desire to rest for even a moment and his body became a canvas of bruises and cuts that never have time to heal. what if he did it because it's the only thing he knows how to do. the only thing that gives him a sense of certainty and control in a world that takes both and offers neither.

can't believe that skeleman has turned on us, and Halloween Prom is tomorrow.

(what a top-tier UM...we are about to be just totally obliterated in the absolute silliest way. what possible use could this power have outside of bringing us to the brink of utter holiday disaster.)

Happy Amok Time Day, friendly reminder that Theodore Sturgeon, the writer of the episode, is credited with the first positive portrayal of homosexuality in science fiction with his short story The World Well Lost (1953), 14 years before Amok Time aired. Which could mean nothing.

obligatory “cool characterization, still murder” like I’m not excusing him but it does make him incredibly interesting

Spare a thought for Con O'Neill who, for months, went to comic cons and had to listen to people telling him how important Izzy is to them, how they see themselves in him and how, if something bad happened to Izzy, they would be absolutely devastated. Man deserves an award.

also also. like i know we've talked about the husbandism but i don't think we've talked about the specifics of it enough because that was like. rehearsed. buck rambles his way through a story and eddie provides contextualising information for those who aren't grossly entwined in his life and buck knows to take breaths to let eddie do this before seamlessly picking the thread of the narrative back up. it's literally insane. you can tell this is something they've done a thousand times before. THE RITUALS!!! THEY'RE INTRICATE!!!!!!!

words cannot express how much i love the cosmic horror trope of "character gets too close to The Horrors but instead of going insane or being blinded or otherwise physically scarred or cognitively impaired they just lose their emotional capacity completely, becoming an anhedonic shell, which doesn't seem like it should be such a terrible fate compared to what what else they could have lost until you remember that your feelings also govern your basic self-preservation and survival instincts, ability to make choices, consent, etc."
