The Quest Continues...

(part 1- part 2)

[whiskeysorrows]

the implications of the show possibly making armand muslim are devastating. marius renames arun 'amadeo' meaning 'lover or beloved of god' which was ALREADY gross in the books since it places him as this godlike figure armand had to worship. and then later on, with the cult in rome and santino, he was forced into worshipping satan which caused a whole crisis for him even when book armand was christian. but if show armand is muslim everything gets a whole lot worse. in islam the biggest most unforgivable sin (if you don't repent) is shirk, or idol worship. by fashioning himself as armand's god, marius not only removed armand's cultural identity from him, he has tainted his faith which is arguably one of the only things armand could've held onto. marius essentially damns armand in one of the most irreversible ways possible by grooming him the way he did with religion as a weapon. and it gets even worse with the cult since armand is not only forced to commit shirk but to reject allah, one of the last ties he has to his cultural identity, completely. armand therefore becomes a metaphor and an example of what colonialism inflicts upon the colonised

Okay but for real if just seeing the tags on a fic triggers you and leaves you in a state of distress so bad that it ruins your day and you end up thinking about it for several days, then you should seriously consider searching for a therapist and looking into trauma therapy. Ruminating (instead of using a healthy coping mechanism to calm down and manage your emotions) is incredibly unhealthy and maladaptive.

ok. extreeeeeemely tentatively. first chapter of 我朝你奔跑的距离 | the distance that i run to you (aka beiran ep15 coda fic) ...... arriving december 31st

[cosmic-walkers]

:re your tags, but why do you like s1 stephen better than s2.

Before I begin, I do wanna make it clear that I don't dislike s2 stephen. In fact I think he brings an extremely villainous fire that will add a lot of angst and tragedy to his relationship with Thomas. Like, Alex Jennings is a great actor. He has thomas shaking in his boots lol.

I just loved the chemistry between the two Marks (Gattis and Rylance) in season one. The relationship they began in S1 was extremely unique to me - they weren't quite friends but they weren't enemies. And their casual banter made me feel like I was reading the book, even with the little interaction they got.

When you have two characters who are pivitol in each others lives, I really love how actors can take that relationship and make it something that draws me in. And since that was something started in season 1, with their unique chemistry, i would've loved to see the destruction of that relationship, and the fallout with the same actors? Because at least to me, there was more of an emotional tie to it.

I hate to use this analogy like I do, but if i were watching s2 of HOTD, i'd want to see olivia cooke's alicent and emma's rhaenyra pick up from where they left off in s1 - that's just me!

When two actors are able to start something, and make a very unique relationship, i love seeing that relationship carried on by the two who began it, whether it falls apart or not.

That's just MY opinion, and i also don't think this stephen/jennings is a bad stephen - at all. In fact, like i said in the tags, he really *does* bring Stephen's vicious personality to the table in a way we didn't see in S1. He is actually scary and he puts Thomas on edge; we've been building up for him since the beginning of the season, and we see how he terrifies Thomas. The way Jennings is able to portray an extremely intimidating, terrifying Thomas, that is so divorced from the Stephen that Thomas knew is excellent. He doesn't give Thomas a chance to breathe, he doesn't give Thomas a chance to regain himself. He is completely undoing him and he is not shy about it- and he portrays that very very well. There is no doubt that Stephen is Thomas villain and that he is going to be his end.

But i do like the chemistry with s1 stephen and thomas a lot more. and i would've loved to see those two have a conclusion.

ofc this is just my opinion!

that thing where thanks to Cultural Imperialism you know far too much about US politics but if you ask "what the fuck is that thing about" you are told not to have an opinion on the stuff that floods your news and social media constantly even if you try very hard not to have any thoughts on it (but also you are to have the Correct Thoughts on it or you're evil, because not caring about US politics is unthinkable. yet also not allowed. but don't you dare not know every american politician's position on Issue Of The Day In Americaland!)

so, overall i think kaos is a pretty solid idea. i just think it sorta failed to stick the landing by opting to veer away from the less acceptable within the mainstream kinds of weird strange disturbing shit (zeus turning into an animal to bang people. the mpreg of it all. the increasingly more batshit things hera did to the women zeus assaulted bc i’m gonna be so serious her just turning them all into bees is objectively less funny than the actual myths) and replaced it with things that honestly feel more like if you combined real housewives esque drama with the inner mechanisms of an edgy 12 year old and their edgy original characters do not steal (trademark).

i was fond of the dionysus depiction. the furies were dykes on bikes so literally nothing they did could be wrong to me (i also just think that the depiction of them was neat). i sort of liked the hades/persephone depiction but i don’t like that they just entirely erased the narrative behind them because if you’re going to dark comedy greek mythology then you’re a coward for not making the hades/pers dynamic more of a. fucked up ‘well i’m stuck with this so fine whatever ig’ dynamic than. whatever that was. i saw the ariadne twist from a mile off though that didn’t make it BAD i actually thought it was funny (don’t like that they called the minotaur glaucus though because glaucus is an entirely different brother of ariadne). honestly think if they were real they would not have had hera cheat with poseidon and instead had zeus cheat with poseidon.

i’m mad about the caeneus power nerf and i. don’t know that i’m all that fond of the fact that the amazons are depicted as terfs but that could be a personal bias because i’m quite fond of the amazon warriors. i also think it was a bit cowardly (though admittedly probably due to concerns of cgi costs) that they simply didn’t have have mythological creatures really show up, at all. weak. i want harpies. and i want them now. i will say i was absolutely delighted by the cerberus dogs and any complaints i would have taken were overruled by the dogs.

i will say that i’m aware it wasn’t STRIVING to be accurate so much as to be weird au fanfic, which is technically fine, i just think it would have been improved on if it had included the more fucked up aspects (big asterisk i can get why they’d skip over the never ending sexual assault if only bc it would be really poor taste to try make jokes about THAT) because a lot of it felt like pretty standard faire shock value immorality.
