in succession 2x08 dundee when logan says “the past is all made up” i really do think that’s the thesis of the entire show btw.

like, the roy kids’ conflicting memories of their childhoods that are never clarified through any kind of flashbacks or confirmation, the entire fucking cruises scandal and the coverups of major crimes, kendall’s accident and how he even tries to rewrite the past in the finale (“that didn’t happen. I made it up”) as logan so often did in both big and small ways (from denying his knowledge of the cruises crimes before congress to small moments of “I told you this already” and “did I even make contact?”)

the fucking poem Dreamsong 29 by John Berryman that all the season finales are named after. this is just the last stanza:

“But never did Henry, as he thought he did, / end anyone and hacks her body up / and hide the pieces, where they may be found. / He knows: he went over everyone, & nobody’s missing. / Often he reckons, in the dawn, them up. / Nobody is ever missing.”

And we never have real confirmation that logan did know about cruises because the characters (minus kendall) deny it to the last. but we know. we keep our plausible deniability because we don’t know, but we know. the show essentially makes us complicit in the same way that the characters are. most of them don’t know that he knew, because they never had any explicit proof, but as kendall says in season 3 “C’mon. We knew.”

the narrative continually shows us that logan “keeps a watchful eye over his whole empire” with perhaps the best example being how he buries the evidence of kendall’s accident and manslaughter at the end of season 1. that’s a very clear parallel to the cruises situation and that’s so skillfully and subtly woven throughout season 2 when the cruises scandals are coming to light and kendall is still reeling from the accident and his guilt.

and all that’s not even touching on the whole matter of ATN and the debate over how involved logan really is in what news stories and political views his network pushes (which could be a whole separate post of its own). very similar to how the cruises thing is handled, the line is always that logan isn’t involved, while the narrative shows us otherwise.

there are a million other examples both big and small that i could pull but this post is already such a disorganized mess. someday i’ll write an essay about it i swear, or maybe somebody else out there already has, but i just needed to point out how brilliant and subtle the show is about this as i’m rewatching season 2

perhaps Heluur for hostile/neutral/friendly/romanced greetings

sure thing! i'm choosing to do these inquisition-style with a handful for most of the categories... one of my favourite kinds of these sorts of things is actually from da2 where you can just. poke the people you have in your party when they're out and about (and fenris will say "i enjoy following you 😏" if the two of you are together) but i couldn't think of a good equivalent of that, especially because heluur rarely leaves his grotto lmfao

Hostile

The mirrors warned me I would see you today.

What do you want?

Hm?

Bids farewell by saying "off you go, then."

Oh dear, is something the matter?

Bids farewell by saying "thank you for stopping by."

Warm

My friend! Welcome back.

How lovely to see you again.

Ah, I was just thinking about you!

Bids farewell by saying "until next time."

Romanced

Ah, there you are, my love.

I hoped you'd be back soon.

Bids farewell by saying "be safe, my love."

RE: UR TAGS. BUSTS INTO UR INBOX. HELLO. DO YOU HAVE TIME TO TALK ABOUT HFTH. ok ok here's my pitch. to be clear: i'm only like, four episodes in. also i was autism hook line and sinkered by episode two. possibly the fastest i've ever latched onto a piece of media? not letting go any time soon. anyway. style wise: i'd say hfth is tonally a descendent of the best parts of both wtnv and tma. the narration is reminiscent that very strange, gentle kindness that's the hallmark of night vale-- there's a lot of that sweet melancholy that permeates wtnv & the rhythm n style of the prose is a lot like that-- strange + offputting but somehow handling everything so softly and carefully, if that makes sense? + there is also a LOT so far of. Big Fucked up Beasts and Horrors & Fucked Up Woods & freaky shit reminiscent of a lot of tma's horror. structurally: theres some kinda Being whos the narrator! there's like, at least eight different storylines & important characters going on who i assume will be swiftly tangled together!! there's worldbuilding breadcrumbs!! theres an evil corporation whos trying to scrape ur brainwaves for advertising data!! its extremely fucking pointed a lot & its good!!

also it's an explicitly & textually queer story. there's a fuckload of trans n queer characters. like. a LOT. many of the main important ones are explicitly trans n nonbinary n gnc. which is. kind of healing tbh? nevr realized i needed it but oh my god u will not believe how much hearing multiple characters often n easily referred to w/ they/them pronouns. (creator is nb too :])

anyway. the protagonist (guy i drew hehe) is diggory graves, bearer of a viciously spiked jacket and long, blackened claws. they know three things: first, that their name is diggory graves. second, that they are dead. and third, that they are looking for something. they are very kind and very confused most of the time, so far.

anyway i'll leave u with this segment of transcript :]]]] <333

OHHH FUCK????? OH GOD OH FUCK OH SHIT?????? THAT SOUNDS INCREDIBLE???????? AND IT HAS THE ROSWELL DANCINGREVOLVER SEAL OF APPROVAL???? ohhhhh my god. nb protagonist thats undead(?) and presumably some sort of creature. oh theyre just like me fr. incrdible. ok. youve convinced me .

(o・・o)/ (staring)

He was with you, when you dreamed of ruins; he dreamed of ruins, too. Like ants scurrying at the forest floor, together and with another, you scoured a graveyard of broken homes. The hearts of heartless creatures, plucked — this seemed the moment he burned brightest before the waking, before the end. Yet even still, when you came before him holding such small sprigs, the humble life growing in the rubble of great things, he did not turn you away . Your first pupil, even if on accident.

Later you find out that he also knows your brother, though you’re unsure of if they’re friends (probably not — you may love your brother, but you know him, too). In some ways you think they are rather alike: senses trained to sharpness like a whetted blade; the sky their chosen battlefield, wrapped around them like a second skin; words turned over with a blackened tongue, silver stained by arsenic.

You don’t quite understand the way he talks sometimes, when that smirk tangles with his teeth, when he wields his wits like daggers to drive through cracks in bones. Neither do you understand the way a jar of herbs finds its way to you on your nameday, but this you like much better.

So, perhaps he is dangerous; perhaps he is not kind. Yet he has been good to you, he has been safe. And truth be told, you like him — enough to hope he will not make sorrows of your affection.
