#poor misery

[the-ephemeral-ethereal]

Under bad governments [...] equality is only apparent and illusory. It serves merely to maintain the poor man in his misery and the rich man in his usurpation.

from The Social Contract by Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1762)

Leo: *grumbling* The only reason I don’t have a girlfriend is that Jason won’t stop being so hot in my general vicinity

Piper: I mean yeah you being in love with Jason probably isn’t helping

I'm just gonna say it: watching the light die out of Pin's eyes bit by bit during this episode was rough.

They maxed out the homoeroticism on this Homotron 5000 fella when they made him.

the seemingly well-held saw fandom opinion of “lawrence wanted to go back for adam! he wanted to SAVE him!” is actually fucking crazy sorry. when we’re introduced to larry in the OG saw it’s clear that he only acts out of self-interest not out of anything else— he cheats on his wife constantly and spends late nights out doing so when he has a young daughter at home. larry & adam are compelling as characters because they’re both like, shitty people. adam is scraping together money to make ends meet through whatever seedy ways possible (including but not limited to stalking & photographing weird doctors for $$$) whereas larry has adopted a detached attitude towards his waking life through staying out late to cheat on his wife and neglect his young daughter. and when larry crawls out of his deathbed in saw vii it’s very clear he has an excessive amount of guilt of not going back for adam (even as he promised he would) and leaving him for dead because well. that’s what he did. at best you could say he’s acting on survival instinct and thus it slipped his mind and at worst you can say that he didn’t learn anything from jigsaw’s silly little trap and he still remained a selfish douchebag even as he clawed his way out. even so the guilt still follows him like crazy but regardless of why in the moment he didn’t act, he still didn’t do anything to save adam because nobody did and that’s why adam ended up dying. larry is literally an asshole and left adam to die. Sorry girls.

Does this not so perfectly describe Jason Todd, and the way he craves affection in a way that borders on starvation? Does this not so perfectly portray the way he shuts himself away from open-palmed affection, even as the act of it destroys him?

[TRANSCRIPT: He goes very still, the way you do when you see a fox at dusk and don't want it to disappear just yet. His lips fall open. His eyes are wide and black, and God help me but I know that look. I've gone hungry too many times not to recognize a starving man when he kneels in the dirt in front of me.

I am not pretty--I've got crooked teeth and a chin like a switchblade and I'm wearing one of Bev's old T-shirts with the sleeves ripped off and swipes of Antique Eggshell across the front--but Arthur doesn't seem to know that.

He looks at me just long enough for me to tgink, in desperate italics: Fuck.

Then he closes his eyes very deliberately, and I recognize this, too: this is what it looks like when you swallow all your hunger. When you want what you can't have, so you bury it like a knife between your ribs. ]

the thing i love about bill cipher is that even after i've learned all of this stuff about him, seen him at the most vulnerable he'll ever get, seen him at his most innocent, i still can't give a flying fuck about trying to justify his actions. yes he's traumatized, yes he was twisted into what we know today, and while it gives a semblance of context to why he did what he did, it doesn't matter. he still ruined ford's life. he still drove and baited multiple humans to suicide. he still tormented every human he saw as his ticket out of the consequences of his own actions. he still took delight in his actions. he was willing to commit genocide for fuck's sake!!! (freezing all of the humans into statues). trying to explain away what he did does not get rid of what he did, but it certainly puts it in perspective. you won't be catching me being a bill apologist any time soon <3
