#reminds me of hell

[tragedy-machine]

No, but Charles is insane for comparing him an Edwin to Orpheus and Eurydice without knowing the ending of their story

He went, "Oh, so we're like that one couple in that romantic story set in hell?" HUH????????

pisses me off to no end when people on reddit or whatever complain that the show wouldve been better off without the tuunbaq.....did we watch the same show? the tuunbaq is everything, it held everything together. the tuunbaq is the main transformative element of the terror. the tuunbaq elevates the text beyond mere historical fact and lets it say something about the expedition's broader context of imperialism. it hunted the british men who were trampling on its home as a mere stopover, a side casualty, to finding the northwest passage (for, you know, "trade with china" after britain beat china into submission after the imperialist opium war). silna couldnt complete a proper ritual with it because of the british men - just as british colonizers have historically intruded and disrupted the practice of indigenous culture. and in the end the tuunbaq dies, after all the injuries it's taken from the british over the course of 10 episodes and finally chokes to death on the worst of them. because there's no escaping the reality of colonial history, and there is especially no fantastical escape for the colonizer. there's no proper way for us to move forward otherwise.

good historical fiction doesnt have to limit itself to accuracy - it needs empathy to draw out meanings in history using literary craft. thats what the tuunbaq means to me.... if you wanted a straight depiction of historical record, just go watch a documentary.. TUUNBAQ DENIERS DNI

if you expect a driver to be world champion material (ruthless, ravenously ambitious, selfish, psychologically manipulative, killer instinct, able to be cold hearted to hypothermic extremes, competitive to the point of aggression, values winning more than anything and anyone in their lives) and also be a completely likeable person that is entirely a you problem

Don't believe in love, but no one makes me feel like you do~

Jamie Porter in casual wear. Jamie Porter with his hair up. Jamie Porter with a soft smile on his face. Jamie Porter as he lets you pull him to whatever adventure because at least it's something with you.

Yeah, okay I'm normal about this.

shrue and carson have "they would find each other in any universe" energy but like, evil. they'd be assigned as each other's annoying ass roommates in college. they'd be the store and area manager of the same tesco. passive-aggressively obstructing each other at their kids' school pta meetings. arguing in the comments on the same facebook pyramid scheme scam pages. no matter what they would find and provoke intense homicidal ideation in one another. do you get it.
