Content Warning!: mentions of suicide and death/murder

Ok autism ramble post! I NEED to talk about Dark on Netflix, I never hear anyone in irl talk about it and it deserves so much attention and praise and analysis and obsession. I will try my best not to give any spoilers, not sure I even could that’s how hard to explain it is.

It has time travel, it has the apocalypse, impending environmental disaster, family trauma, one of the greatest modern love stories imo, it has tragedy and joy and grief and anguish, it has hope, it has a watch/clock maker, father son relationships, accidental baby acquisition, a car crash, it has conspiracy theorists, a murder mystery, coming of age but with a twist, it has friends to lovers to what could have been to enemies, it has races against time, it has rebellion, it has adultery, vigilantes and a boy with the fate of the world on what feels like his shoulders alone all in no particular order or in a very specific one depending on how you look at it

Essentially it starts out with this kid who follows his older brother and sister and friends into the woods, the stumble into this cave some events occur and then the little boy is nowhere to be found. The eerie thing is that the boys uncle disappeared and was never found similarly a certain important number of years ago. The main character is Jonas who’s in love with the boys older sister, Jonas’ father killed himself over the summer break. Soon weird shit starts happening in the town, more characters are focalised. Then suddenly we’re in the 80s the boy stumbles out of the cave and meets his teenage parents. From there things get increasingly insane, Jonas meets this dude from the future who basically who basically turns his entire worldview upside down.

It is written masterfully and acted with pure talent and skill, I cried I laughed I gasped I sat in silent awe and confusion. Every time you think you’ve figured something out everything is flipped upside down again in the best way. It’s by far the best show I’ve watched it’s a work of art, you could probably watch it 10 times and still have a garbled understanding of it and it’s beautiful. It’s not an easy watch you have to think and really pay attention but if you’re up to the challenge it’s so so worth it! So pls I beg of you if any of this even slightly piqued your interest watch DARK!

Apropos of all my musings about queer temporality and rejection of reproductive futurity etc etc I simply do not believe Kanej would ever have kids sorry. To my mind Kaz was born to be your dad's dubious, extremely rich friend who gives you a wodge of cash on holidays and birthdays, and Inej was born to offer to kill your ex and take you home when you're drunk and missed curfew and MUM WILL BE SO MADDD. To all Dregs-related children they're like the weird aunt and uncle who burn movies illegally onto DVDs for you, teach you to swear, let you eat loads of sugar, and then dump you back on your actual parents in order to shirk the consequences of all the sugar and swearing. All kids have to be sixteen before you get the 'so not only is Kaz in organised crime, he basically IS organised crime' chat. They hit your ex boyfriend's car. They bought you a pony. They said they'd bail you out of jail and you didn't think they were joking. Etc.

i saw the tv glow gave me so much hope for my future but also so much fear. what if i don’t ever get to transition? what if i end up trapped as someone i don’t want to be for the rest of my life? what if i do transition and deal with cutting a lot of my close family off? what if i actually am someone else? what if i could actually be me? what about if i transition after i already have a career? how difficult would that make life? i don’t want to end up caged as someone i’m not but i don’t want to lose who i am.

Someone give Colapinto a seat for 2025 😫🙏

The whole China Suarez/Colapinto mess makes me think of this words of wisdom from Argentina: If you like the peach, you have to take the fuzz 🤷‍♀️

I know I have a semi-popular post about how Gale would not have made a good teacher and that's why I'm so happy that it does happen canonically. It shows so much growth in him: not only does he learn to love himself regardless of his magic ability, that love extends to others. He can now educate students in the field of magic that has always clearly been his true favourite without being "irked by their ineptitude". He shares the art he loves and his enthusiasm, talent, and newfound patience make him a great teacher. With Tav by his side he becomes a happier, less guarded, more caring person and I can't think of anything better for him.

living through major historical events is never going to be easy or fun, but im trying to keep in mind one of my favorite quotes from uncle iroh.

“you must never give into dispair. allow yourself to slip down that road, and you surrender to your lowest instincts. in the darkest times, hope is something you give yourself.”

it’s ok to feel anxious, to feel angry, but please take care of yourself today. avoid doomscrolling, hug a friend, do something that brings you comfort. do what you need to in order to keep your head above water.

then, once you’re steady, support the people around you. be kind. do what you can to help your neighbors and friends, especially those who will be feeling the greatest effects of the outcome of this election. if we want to see change in the world, we need to take those first steps ourselves. we will create hope in these dark times, because we will care for each other and take care of one another. as long as we’re here, as long as we care for each other, as long as we fight for each other, there’s hope.
