《The Spirealm / 致命游戏》Opening [ENG lyrics] 《 The Door / 门 》 - Xia Zhiguang

Ahh finally! The Spirealm, the drama that was and blinked out of existence, is up on Viki and several other platforms with decent subs! And we have opening credits! I could rant for hours about the way understandable subtitles free up brainspace, because I feel like I just watched the 1st episode for the first (and not the third) time, and it was such a pleasure. Almost felt like a new show. And I picked up on details I’d completely missed before. Do I fixate on subs more than most? Probably. Because I’m talking about this when we have amazing leads and chemistry that I find very romantic, really.

And tropes. All the tropes. I may keep tabs on them during this rewatch.

odysseus actually saying the word rape in the song freed me of all the discomfort hold them down made me feel

idk why but it's just so. sexual assault has always been something that should have clear boundaries - and instead, you see the people in power, people who should punish and uphold the law, shift around definitions and wordplay.

as if it isn't a disgusting violation of a person, of their life, of their trust.

metaphors are beautiful, they're my favourite figure of speech. but metaphors, skirting around the topic, when it comes to rape, is what, to me, truly makes that feeling of disgust and discomfort, and yes, even panic, rise.

because the truth is? i know there are people who can excuse and disregard "taking her love and more". not consider it rape. not consider it assault. there are, unfortunately, people who can disregard a metaphor this clear. justify it, even.

but most of those people can't justify the word rape.

I dont know if this makes sense. forgive me if it doesn't. but to me, the intense nausea that hold them down brought about was erased and hell, even comforted, by the rage and protectiveness and bluntness of that one line in odysseus.

jay did a fucking fantastic job.

It was my own lovely lady And she said, "Oh, it's you" Then we laughed for a moment And I said, "I never knew"

Escape (The Piña Colada Song) by Rupert Holmes

This whole song is very interesting to me. This couple falls out of love and both have the same idea to pursue a new love through a fucking ad on the morning paper. And when they meet and realize it was their loved one all along, all she says is "oh, it's you." Like she knew there would be no else there for her. And they're both getting to meet each other again for the first time and figure out what the other likes and they're surprised by lots of things they didn't know about their loved one. Just. I'm surprised by how much story this fun little song has packed into such simple lyrics.
