"I have many fears, most of them about Lucrezia." ā€” Cesare Borgia (The Borgias, 2011-2013) + hints of insecurity
that she adores someone that much / if she will reject his dark nature and act of love and violence as Ursula did / if he truly is not part of her desires / that she easily forgets him
#i have so many thoughts on these two#hes such a clingy brother wth#as much as he soothes her it is only by asking lucrezia verbally or#by looking at her that his fears and insecurities in her life can be soothed#cesare torn between - being relieved she had some joy in the ruthless marriage he had no power to prevent and did not even want to bless#or being envious there is someone else now when his little sister once said she will not love anyone as much as she loves him#but Accepting it anyways because it is impossible loves and maybe he is starting to become aware his love falls in this same category.#ā€œshould i envy this narcissus low-born who shall never see you again because of his impossible love for you when i love you just the same?ā€#the knife more surprise than fear. in a time when he did not love himself...ā€œshe accepts me as i am? as i do herā€#biting her as if another black panther pet looking for reassurance that their love#that HE is still included in her perfect world even if he himself pulls away#ā€œsurely you're in agony as much as i am? are you already satisfied with your child and husband if we cannot share our love openly?ā€#ā€œyour eyes drift to mine when you say 'husband' am i not he? do you see me as so even when it was just 'tonight'?ā€#and then his sudden gaze as if to look for truth because how can she forget him when he only thinks of her#AND AGAIN pulling away being eaten by shame and guilt of corrupting her (when their relationship is not just his doing)#torn between hope (we have the capacity to forget and move on) and hope (our love has that much devil power over her)#cesare as the god or the devil or whatever it is that overwhelms whether at war or in love#cesare is one confident man and even if his insecurities has layers of righteousness and importance..it is still insecurity nonetheless#and only for lucrezia#lucrezia borgia#cesare borgia#cesare x lucrezia#the borgias#dailyborgia#perioddramaedit#perioddramasource#weloveperioddrama#onlyperioddramas#romancegifs#the borgiasedit

Comic covers of the 1970s seem to have been a big inspiration for new monsters added to D&D after the initial 1974 rules release (see especially Gil Kane's version of Coerl the Black Destroyer/displacer beast). Conan's foe above calls to mind shambling mounds, ropers, mimics, and lots of other creatures with giant mouths posing as harmless objects, and most closely resembles the hangman tree whose stats first appeared in the Monster Manual II in 1983. D&D's version grabs victims with noose-like vines and drops them into a mouth-like opening in the trunk.

all these dominant and clever preds are nice and all but i want to see a pred that is so comically bad at eating prey. a pred that ACTS like they're big and bad and they're going to devour their prey but when it comes right down to it they can't actually fit their jaws around their prey. preds that make a big show out of eating a tiny but then they choke on them and have to spit them out. preds who shouldn't quit their day job

s3 episode 23 thoughts
the previous episode was SO good. but, it is true, i was distracted by the dog. it was SUCH!! a perfect episode. EXCEPT for that one thing. so i hope that today, i can face this episode with a clear head, free of judgement based on the fate of little dogs.
well, boy, i did face this episode with a clear mind, and wow. wowza. another AMAZING ep... and i will keep the angst from this episode in my heart forever and bottle it and take a nice long swig when i need my msr feels, which is basically always. wow. an exclamation point doesn't even feel APPROPRIATE, it just needs to hang in the air for a bit. (wiping tears away) wow....
let us go back to yesterday's notes, which shall commence below:
reading the episode description... so this one features murders linked to a device that alters television signalsā€¦ huh. man, too many people i know donā€™t even have cable anymore. this simply would not work in the modern era. imagine if hulu or tubi or something made you kill people though lmao that would be silly to imagine.
we open with a guy digging a hole in the woods. always a promising start. seems heā€™s in an orchard of some sort? and the music is very very creepy.Ā 
okay, so just as you suspect, this dude is burying a dead guy. sometimes your gut instinct is correct and tropes are not meant to be subverted. but the dude who is burying him says ā€œyour killing days are OVERā€ so is this actually a justice arc??? hmm. it is not clear. man, it would be hard to dig a hole like that.
shovel murder man is at home washing the blood off. but then someone else approaches him and he kills THAT GUY TOO WITH THE SHOVEL?? huh? what is going on.Ā 
police at da guyā€™s house. everyone has the same face as the dude he just killed??? so they tase him. and then the faces go back to their REAL faces. now what is going on here!!!!!!!!!!
as the real faces return, the man realizes he killed someone named sarah!!! and he seems sooo upset by the fact that he killed sarah!!!! poor sarah :(
so does the tv make you see other peopleā€™s faces on the bodies of random peopleā€¦.? omg thatā€™s insidious...
we now shift to a different scene, one where mulder is sitting in his car at 2 am. doing what???? waiting for some guy!!! he was waiting TWO HOURS for this guy!!! who is this guy...? it's giving blind date/drug deal.
the man who enters his car gives him a newspaper clipping about the murders we just saw. and mulder came here after getting AN ANONYMOUS EMAIL in the middle of the night??? this is crazy because literally so many people want him dead and this would have been a very easy way to accomplish that goal. wow. seriously, no self-preservation instincts on this guy.
mystery man says he has no obligation to explain what is going on, but if mulder walks away from it, more people will die. so no pressure!! xx
cutscene to a hospital, where mulder is watching our murderer through glass, while scully comes in saying that she is sorry she is late, but ā€œthe beltway was a parking lotā€. beltway refers to interstate 495! thank you wikipedia i love your services!
murderer is named joseph. and he claims to have been killing the same guy over and over again, and that he wouldnā€™t die. which seems pretty awful.
OH! and the week before, in the same town, a babysitter attacked the kids she was watching because she thought they were WOLVES??? omg that is horrific??
theyā€™re talking to the physician, dr. stroman, who says perhaps this was provoked by amphetamine abuse. then joseph starts SCREAMING. he sees a guy on the TV- miriskovic- sorry yā€™all idk my post-soviet history šŸ’” (update: i googled it, i don't even think that guy was real because all the results are links to wikis on this specific episode... reveals how little i truly know)
anyway, seeing that guy's face on the TV seems to have triggered the screaming situation. does he have trauma from the country he used to live in and seeing references to it makes these things happenā€¦? that would be a wild episode. put me in the writer's room and let me cook.
scully quickly picks up on the fact that this case is Weird, and mulder admits it came from some random guy, which makes her suspicious. but they go to the crime scene, and, like always, he lifts the crime scene tape up over her head, and itā€™s very charming despite the lack of sensibility in going down this whole rabbit hole.
the minute they get in, they hear screaming and a gunshot! but itā€™s just some kids watching TV??? eating popcorn in a crime scene??? LMAO WHAT?
mulder kicks them out and scruffs one of the boyā€™s heads... ohhhh he needs to be a father so bad huh... like i have been saying this since s1 he just has a Need to tease and spoil children. well, we can unpack that another time. there's crime afoot.
so he watches the tv and it starts to go all static-y because a guy outside is fixing the wires. scully finds a TON of tapes and theyā€™re just shelves and shelves of cable TV shows!!!
ā€œthere must be hundreds of videos hereā€, she says, to which he asks ā€œanything good?ā€ <- idk why this made me giggle. it sounded like he was gonna put one in and chill for a bit lmao
scully starts to wonder if seeing the cable news, like joseph had recorded, was what triggered his episode back at the hospital. ooooh! a theory!!!Ā 
cut to mulder watching a tape in the bed of his motel, making an absolute pile of sunflower seeds- this dude is gonna attract mice or something someday omfg- and also he has a cola which is peak american culture. LMAOOOO he has a HUGE pile of tapes on the floor iā€™m crying... my type A self could NOT deal with him!
he says he watched 36 hours of bernard shaw and bobbi batista and is now also ready to kill someone as scully welcomes him into her room, which also has cola but is much more nicely organized! she found something weird on the tapes from late april, each a night when he committed a murderĀ 
AND WHY DID MULDER GET ALL COZIED UP ON HER COUCH?????? hooooooly fuck i have never seen such a baby girl of a man
OMFG??? all the reports from the murder nights feature that miriskovic guy!!!
so did seeing violence make him violent? mulder says no, and that theory assumes that ā€œamericans are just empty vessels, ready to be filled with any idea or image thatā€™s fed to them like a bunch of pavlov dogs, and go out and act on itā€ oh if only this man could see the news latelyā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ insert ben affleck smoking a cigarette image here to describe the things we see in our current age. mulder you would not believe.
heā€™s really bashing her theory, but sheā€™s saying maybe he was high and seeing these things sent him on a spiral- makes sense to me
he is leaving to go get some sleep (after admitting he canā€™t explain what is going on!!! which always endears me) but scully says she is going to watch the rest of the tapesā€¦ a herculean task for our girl
middle of the night and itā€™s still tape time for scully, but she hears the phone ringing. she hears mulder having a conversation. and he says ā€œno, she doesnā€™tā€ which is weirdā€¦ that is suspiciousā€¦ what doesn't she...
scully chews her ice which is so funny because me too sometimes. she has chewed all of her ice and must fetch more. and get a cola ofc!!! nothing more american than a cold soda iktr!
but she sees mulder in his car??? lighting up with cig man???? HUH??? and handing over a tape? omfg this is crazy. i assume she is hallucinating though, because no wayā€¦.
cutscene to a lady named helene watching ā€œthe price is niceā€ (lmaooo) and washing some dishes. but the soap in the dishes starts to look funny- and everything is glitching around her!!! she sees a man outside in a hammockā€¦ kissing a woman!!! and oh, she is furious!! she gets her SHOTGUN?? this has escalated very fast. and we hear some shooting!!!
scully is still very visibly disturbed. mulder is reporting the murder, but she seems like a shell of herself. she checks the ash tray in the car, and there is no ashā€¦ she notices the car has been moved and he says he got a paperā€¦. why do you askā€¦. ā€œnothing. itā€™s nothingā€ OHHH THIS IS JUICY
so the crime scene has a very bloody hammock. and a dead man, who the wife claims he saw in the hammock with a blonde. but the only other creature at the scene was a dog!!!
OH!!! the hammock man wasnā€™t even helene's HUSBAND??? this really is LAYERED!! she killed the NEIGHBOR thinking it was her husband, who wasnā€™t even in town!!!!!! how do you mess this up so badly?
despite the fact that scully is clearly suspicious of mulder, she is sharing the umbrella with him in their usual fashion, and the sense of tension this produces is deliciousĀ 
they go to investigate the crime scene and mulder finds some sort of bike and immediately climbs upon it while proclaiming that television does NOT cause violence (LMAOOO HE IS SO WEIRD i need him.)Ā 
they find a bunch more tapes and AGAIN the same guy is messing with the cables outside while they're investigating!!!! mulder is in chase mode!!!! but he cannot chase this dude in the van!!! no man, even a track star such as him, can outrun a van carrying secrets!
scully is trying to fast forward the TV and she looks out to see mulder climbing the poleā€¦. average day for a man like him. he finds a weird cable scrambler in there. she wants to send it to the crime lab, but he says heā€™ll do the analysis, and she should go interview helene the murderer. OH... she is so suspicious, she just wants to go homeā€¦. scully :((( mulder is deeply confused as to why she is being so weirdĀ 
so he takes the thingy to the lone gunmen, who say it looks like itā€™s used for blocking premium cable channels, which i didnā€™t even know was a thing, you learn so much with this show. but it doesnā€™t block anything!!! HOWEVER, if you compare a tv with the machine and one without it, the one with the machine is slightly different. hmm...
ā€œyou know how television works?ā€ ā€œyeah, you click it on, you have a pictureā€ <- the man who said that line went to oxford btw
it seems that this cable blocker thingy is adding some sort of frequency, but they canā€™t tell whatā€¦ hmm.
mulder on the road. scully calls and only asks ā€œwhere are youā€ in this very flat and creepy tone and OH iā€™m scared!!!!
he tries to explain that there is some sort of signal being introduced to the tv- he even says she might be right about the tv inducing violence theory! but she isnā€™t answeringā€¦ she hears a clicking, like they're being listened to, and she says he never went to the detectiveā€¦. letā€™s wait and talk on a landline, he says.
despite being in his car many miles away, he can tell that there is something very wrong with scully. he says donā€™t go anywhere, heā€™ll be right there, and redials after she hangs up. it's very much echoing when she said something similar to him in his crazed gargoyle quest.
but she is so scared, she rips the phone out of the wall and takes it apart!!!! and then the lamp too, and the table. she is checking everything for any sort of bugs!
holy hell, we have never seen her like this before... but iā€™m actually gagged because she is usually relatively stoic and seeing her paranoid is so different, but it also feels very natural??? she is acting her ass off here as she rips up everything in this motel room. big shoutout to GA, i love your work.
and the static that set in helene's vision earlier is setting in hers now!!! she hears a car pull up and drops to the floorā€¦. she hears a man say ā€œsheā€™s in hereā€ and a pounding on the door.Ā 
OMFG someone tries to open the door and she FIRES 4 SHOTS RIGHT AWAY??? but itā€™s mulder!!!!
(author's note: i was thinking after i finished the episode, and we know that she is a good shot- remember how she hit just the right angle to knock mulder out but not kill him at the end of s2? so she is either SO out of it that she cannot even aim straight, or there is a tiny tiny tiny part of her that still thinks that mulder isn't worth killing. please mull over which option brings you greater angst)
heā€™s coming in with his gun and his hair is blowing in the wind and he canā€™t FIND HER!!!!! it was really very dramatic. hair blowing in the wind has this effect.
cutscene to scullyā€™s momā€™s house, and we see a picture of young scully on the table... AWW stop sheā€™s so cuuuute and one of missy as well šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­
OH! itā€™s mulder on the phone calling mrs. scully in the middle of the night!!! NOOOO he has to tell her that he doesnā€™t know where she is :( NOOOO poor mrs. scully has gone through too much. he feels SO bad breaking this news, that he even apologizes for hanging up right away, something he never ever does.Ā he must be in deeeep distress to do such a thing.
and why does he hang up?? because SKINNER IS HERE!!! heā€™s leading a manhunt for scully, and mulder is saying she shouldnā€™t be hunted like a convictā€¦ but skinner says dude SHE FIRED FOUR ROUNDS AT YOU AND SOME RANDOM GUY last night!!!!
despite this, mulder insists that he can get her to listen to him if they just keep her safe; sheā€™s suffering from some sort of paranoid psychosis. skinner is being quite patient as he tries to explain that the video tapes made her do it. skinner says well... you better find her before these guys do.
GASP!!! heā€™s putting up the x on his window! and doing that thing where he bounces his basketball because he cannot relax!!! stop i'm emotional!!!!!
the lone gunmen call to say they found something on the tapeā€¦. and it induces electrical activityā€¦. MIND CONTROL???
but why wasnā€™t he effected?
! MULDER LORE REVEAL ! HEā€™S RED-GREEN COLORBLIND???? THIS IS AN INSANE LORE DROP TO GIVE NEARLY 4 SEASONS IN??????
wait, is this just for plot purposes, or is DD actually colorblind and they decided to roll with it? because now iā€™m gonna be looking at all the red-ish things we see on screen (like his tie he is grabbing to emphasize his point) and wonder, can he see that? how does this impact his tie selection process....
okay that really threw me off guard. man, i was getting to think we'd never get another lore reveal, which is a shame because i quite like formatting those facts in that way. good to know we could get more at anytime!
he gets a phone call from maryland state police. the lone gunmen ask if sheā€™s okay and he says no, he has to go and ID the body. WHAT!!!! WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!! he is trying to keep composed. holy fuckā€¦ā€¦ā€¦..
(heavy breathing as i grab your shoulder and squeeze) hey man. hey. he was trying so hard to be strong.
so he pulls up to the morgue and stops before he gets out of the car, and holds his head above the wheel STOP Iā€™LL CRY???? iā€™ll cryā€¦ what are they putting him through??? losing her againā€¦ā€¦..
(i mean i have SEEN gifs of scully in seasons past this one, so i know she's gonna pull through, but HE doesn't know that, and must be reliving the worst days of his life AGAIN, and aughhhhh!)
but the mystery guy from the start of the episode that give him the info on the muders pulls up and says get in right now!!!!!! mulder is furious, he says heā€™s busy. in a shocking display of insensitivity, mystery man says he does not give a fuck. mulder is yelling that this is all his fault. mystery man says ā€œtheyā€ are destroying the evidence, and theyā€™ll finish it by tomorrow if he keeps searching for her, but he kicks the door shut and ignores him.
(omgā€¦. he loves her enough to break him out of his bloodhound modeā€¦ the dogged ahab-like quest for answers and revengeā€¦ iā€™m getting flashbacks to his conversation with missy in one breathā€¦ā€¦..Ā realizing he needs to put the ones he loves before his need for revenge sometimes..... wow)
so he walks into the morgue, and the dude in there says they found a body nude and shot in the forehead.
he closes his eyes to try and brace himself before taking a peek, to prepare to see her lifeless, probably reliving those many hours by her bedside when she was in the hospital, trying to imagine her shot in the forehead, the scully he knows and loves with her dry humor and her teasing smile and caffeine dependency, the her that is so full of life, lifelessā€¦
but it isnā€™t her. PHEW!
despite this being good news that he has to share- she's not dead! her mother isnā€™t answering her phoneā€¦. so he goes to her house. and i'm thinking, oh my gosh, did she do something rash in her grief?
but mrs. scully answers the door and claims dana isnā€™t here. he bursts in and says he needs to see her right now.Ā omg, he saw right through her lies.
(also, it always feels weird to refer to her as dana, but moving on)
NO!!!! she has him at gunpoint and says heā€™s here to kill him!!! poor guy looks so flabbergastedā€¦ and her mom is trying to get her to please put down the gun, and heā€™s trying to explain what is going on!!! he is so singularly locked into herā€¦.Ā 
ā€œheā€™s lied to me from the beginning. heā€™s never trusted meā€ ā€œscully, you are the only one i trustā€ AUGHHHHH (rips my clothes off of my body in biblical levels of grief)Ā 
ā€œyouā€™re one of the people who abducted meā€ AUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH (rips off not only my clothing but also my hair as i experience emotions that rival what job from the bible went through)
sheā€™s CRYING, and saying he killed her sister while her mom gets between him and the gunā€¦ and sheā€™s saying she knows sheā€™s safe here, thatā€™s why she came here, and to put the gun down. and she falls into her motherā€™s arms sobbing.Ā 
WHAAAAAAAAT. and he had to watch all thatā€¦ oh my scully oh my goodness my poor scullyā€¦
timeskip a little bit. he shows up to the hospital where scully is with her mother, and mockingly puts his hands up in surrender, because he is so STUPID and he always has to make a joke, and i love him so terribly, so so so terribly, because he loves HER.
she's laying in the bed, and he shuts off the tv and asks how sheā€™s feeling. she says she is ASHAMED- as if being a victim of mind control was a personal failing. scully, i want to yell, you have NO REASON to be ashamed, let me take all the shame from you and carry it elsewhere. she says it was like the world was turned upside down.
and he makes ANOTHER stupid joke about the world being out to get him, and now she knows how he feels-
before leaning in and explaining how joseph, the first murderer on this case, became convinced he was killing the bosnian war criminal who people called ā€œthe modern hitlerā€, which was especially important to him because both of his parents survived the holocaust. hence his line about the killing days being over!!!
and helene was scared her husband would cheat on her. so somehow the TV signal turned their worst fears into a living nightmare.Ā 
OHHHH HER WORST NIGHTMARE IS HIM BETRAYING HER. HIM BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR HER GOING MISSING AND LOSING HER AUTONOMY AND MEMORIES... wails into my shirt.Ā 
(this reminds me of that episode in s2- irresistible- when we learn her biggest fear is that humans are capable of terrible horrific things and grasping to trust despite that knowledge. weā€™re seeing that again right here. how uncertainty seeps in)
THEY CALL HIM THE CANCER MAN!!! wow very official canon recognition of the name (yeah itā€™s happened before but it happened again so that is cool) anyway she says she saw him giving cancer man the tapes and reporting.
he says that maybe cancer man was behind this, but then he whispers ā€œwhy donā€™t you try and get some rest?ā€ and there is something in me that melts so entirely as he leaves her to sleep.
(perhaps it is the fact that hurt/comfort and whump are my favorite tropes. because is there anything more intimate than letting someone see you at your most vulnerable, and them choosing to love you at it? is there any feeling more cutting than seeing your loved one suffer and knowing youā€™d stop the world for an instant of their relief? the terrible desperation of both parties, the wordless connection upon recovery, someone being the last thing you see before everything fades to black and then the first person you see when you return... yeah. itā€™s cathartic. but also it makes me want to yell and cry. pls give me all the hurt/comfort content)
so the doctor found high serotonin levels in her that maybe can be associated with mania, but now theyā€™re back to normal. he asks if someone in her situation would be diagnosed with amphetamine abuse, and she says no. then he quickly calls the hospital where joseph is stayingā€¦ what is he cooking in thereā€¦
he wants to talk to joseph's doctor, dr. stroman, who left behind only a number from the motelā€¦. and he had JUST checked outā€¦. so heā€™s going through his stuff. and asking about his calls. and he DOES find a cigarette in his room but a lot of people smoke soā€¦ try not to jump to conclusions juniā€¦ but the cigarettes mean one thing in this show!!! was this innocent-looking doctor behind such a cruel experiment?!
he calls and has the last number the doctor called get checked from the folks at the labā€¦ so he goes to visit the place of residence and creepy music is playing. the dude from the cable company we saw before rolls up!!! he walks right inside the house, so mulder peeks inside. it seems the people in the house set up a trap of some sort, as they are talking about ā€œhimā€ showing up at 7.
he bursts in after hearing gunshots and both of the men in there are dead!!! shot in the head!!!!
who is there... but X???? X says he HAD to kill those men- he just hoped mulder would get them first. and oh, mulder is YELLING AT X!!! he is letting him HAVE IT!!! he says he is a coward, he was too scared to unveil the situation with the mind control TV murders himselfā€¦.. he says X NEVER risks his own life, but he sure does make him risk mulder and scullyā€™s.
OH! he is holding X at gunpoint. all X is saying is that he failed, and that mulder needs him. so he walks out, confident he won't pull the trigger. and he doesn't.Ā 
WHAT! i need to kind of just let that sit for a second. i need to figure out this X fellow, but i get the sense i never willā€¦. he failedā€¦ because he chose to try and save scullyā€¦ā€¦.
cutscene to skinnerā€™s office, where mulder is giving him a report. and scully walks in and says that dr. stroman DIED IN 1978!!! when skinner asks about the killer, mulder jumps in and says he remains unknownā€¦ oh, skinner is def gonna pick up on thatā€¦.
so now we see X in a random back alley. getting into a carā€¦. WITH CANCER MAN?????? X REPORTS TO CANCER MAN??? he asks if he has completed his work, and X reports that he has cleaned out all the personnel, everything is removed, but mulder still has a device. and mulderā€™s source has been eliminated. but the sourceā€™s source remains unknown. oh, heā€™s def lying through his teeth.
OOOOOOH this episode was SO good.
oh man, my brain is racing in a bunch of different directions. scully breaking down and sobbing into her motherā€™s armsā€¦. scully convinced that mulder is a traitor, that he did those terrible things to herā€¦. mulder so scared that she was gone, bouncing his basketball, getting a call from the police department that he had to go identify herā€¦ choosing her, even in what he thought was death, over following the Truthā€¦ the sick and twisted relationship he has with X, and X with Cancer Man, and Cancer Man with the worldā€¦ itā€™s making me think of how mulder broke into his house that one time, was going to kill him over what he did to scully, and cancer man had the nerve to say he liked mulderā€¦ OOOH my brain is just racing racing racing.Ā 
poor scullyā€¦ how scared she was, how horrified afterwardā€¦Ā 
other things that are on my mind, in no particular order: the bond between scully and her mother; mulder being all babygirl on that couch; mulder hopping on that bicycle and picking up some random doll from the murder victim's house; how haunting scully's voice was when she asked him over the phone where he was; their cola drinking; mrs. scully trusting mulder no matter what; how he tried to cover the grief in his voice when he told the lone gunmen he had to go identify her body; how he kicked the door shut of the mystery man, damning the investigation to pay his respects; how his head hovered above the wheel of the car before he got out to do that; how X uses and uses him to no clear end, and what is HE doing reporting to cig man, and what was that random doctor doing conducted fucked up experiments on random people; and scully's miraculously bad aim; mulder's conviction he could talk sense into her (spoiler: he could not); her shame at being convinced he had been the one who abducted her; how terrifying that must have been; and his stupid jokes when he walked into her hospital room, with the sincerity he tries so hard to outrun and outfox breaking through in his whispered why don't you get some rest?
so needless to say, i see why this one is a fan-favorite. this is certainly one i will be revisiting in the future when i need something strong. i have a million things to think over that will stick with me Forever, and i am in no rush to move on from this. in fact, i took these notes yesterday, but in the process of editing them tonight, i have decided i am not ready for the season finale and will have to save it for tomorrow because i'm still feeling So Many Things. so stay tuned to see how that goes, because whew!

You know what has always seemed funny to me is that Mello has some kind of relation with fire (the explosion and then the fire in his death), and at the same time, his real name is the same one of the arcangel known for having a flaming sword (even tho never stated in the bible but he's represented with one in almost everywhere for interesting reasons but no one gives a shit about that)
which i totally think is a stretch of my part because based on platinum end, ohba's vision of religion is almost the equivalent to the opinion of a 15 yo edgy incel that likes reddit too much
but still funny to me. it's also funny considering the name literally means "who is like god?" because, technically speaking, michael will never be like god, he's the protector and fighter. his name is almost the statement "no one will be like god" which I think is funny considering that the one who tried to be like god was cast out to hell, like u know, the good-looking angel that in some depictions is actually a very manipulative entity that convinces some angels to get into his side and fight with him and was defeated by this said arcangel
that's very funny to me
#i could go on and go about this but yeah no. i do like a lot the meaning of his name and what represents#the atheism in platinum is so bad it almost made me go catholic again. it's a reddit atheism (ā€œgod is like santa clausā€)#i really really like all the meanings and how you can play with mello's real name if you try hard enough and aim for the stars#near's too. if you do the same. and i WILL. putting the catholic knowledge in action.#alsoo it's so funny to me that in paradise lost (not bible canon but still very VERY really known) Michael is a lil bitch.#he's the one who casts adam and eve out of eden and he's like ā€œMAYBE if SOMEONE hadn't eaten the FRUITā€ which I think is very mello coded#he's like sad for them like two seconds and then he's like ā€œlmao this happened because u're stupidā€ and points and laugh#technically not that but shush. he is still like ā€œdude. adam. it's fine u can make ur life out of here..stop crying lmaoā€#it's like dante in the divine comedy when he's sad for people at first and then in like the third circle he's like ā€œhahaha stupidā€#ā€œyou're suffering? GOOD. this is what you get for being GAY. i dont give a shit your suffering. do you know what's happening in Florence?ā€#satan in paradise lost to the other angels is like ā€œaren't you tired of being nice? don't you wanna go apeshit?ā€#ā€œthe other day saw god drinking the last of the milk and putting the carton back in the fridge :/ idk man doesn't sound too heavenly to me"
