#the road trip from hell

The Hound poured a cup of wine for Arya and another for himself, and drank it down while staring at the hearthfire. “The little bird flew away, did she? Well, bloody good for her. She shit on the Imp’s head and flew off.”

“They’ll find her,” said Polliver. “If it takes half the gold in Casterly Rock.”

“A pretty girl, I hear,” said the Tickler. “Honey sweet.” He smacked his lips and smiled.

“And courteous,” the Hound agreed. “A proper little lady. Not like her bloody sister.”

Funniest plotline of TJFH is Justitia and the angel granny beefing. Her waking her up in the middle of the night just to show off her true self and then legit saying save your boy because I can't anymore. That's peak frenemy.

"Maybe I needed it once. But I trained here, with The Flying Graysons, before I trained with you, Bruce. You know what the key is to a good trapeze act? Letting go...trusting that there's someone on the other side to catch you. You taught me a lot. But I learned from them to leap into the light. We're not the same, don't you see, Bruce? I had you." -Detective Comics #1074

hang on a minute y'all, I need to go scream into the abyss

ok to be fair when i watched utena for the first time at 16 i definitely didn't fully Get It. like i still walked away like Woah that was life changing but i missed some very big themes/points and that's why i think rgu really really improves upon and deserves multiple rewatches. and i also think that watching the apocalypse arc for the first time becomes very personal, you take away what you need to take away from the show (or at least i did at 16). so i WANT to give grace to people who may have misinterpreted rgu because it's a complicated show but if people are writing blogs or videos or putting out long form media called stuff like UTENA EXPLAINED 😱 and still fucking miss the point um lol actually

Hey remember when I said Szeras was a cartoon villain and I refuse any attempts to add any sort of nuance or development to his character?

Oops...

hard to predict where i will next turn my wretched gaze but it will definitely be on a weird little man with a miserable countenance and a lot of problems in general

like, ultimately, spn could never actually break the cycle of abuse and familial violence, bc to truly break the cycle would've required its writers to have the radical imaginary to look beyond the status quo. the show just reifies the idea of a paternal authority over the world. god dies but he has to be replaced you see, but it's okay, it's someone better now. family is hell but now family is also heaven.

Fell back asleep for a while (still have a horrible headache btw) and I had the most disturbing dream that I'm going to tell you guys about in the tags

I love siblings that kill people for demonic sacrifices & desecrate the corpses while on a dangerous road trip on the run from the authorities….. especially when the brother is really angry & serious & the sister is a silly goofball….

(realized a hilariously specific recurring theme in my favorite fictional dynamics & felt the need to draw two of my fave duos together yes I know I’m not an artist but I like to have fun so sh)

that being said comedy gold is also gold in other ways. I have built a mountain of angsty headcanons on these maybe-sarcastic-maybe-sincere throwaway lines

Excerpt (unecessarily dramatic monologue) from a potential Sir Orfeo retelling I will never write

Now there's a secret writers don't like to tell people often. We like to pretend to be mysterious, like we're caught up in The Art, like it controls us, and sometimes it feels like it does. But it's not true. So many scholars are obsessed with finding the "original version," who gives a shit about the original version? what matters is the story we have now, the story that's been told and is told and will be told, the story that's made and remade each time! These aren't dead cold things, they're breathing and breathed. We love to say there was only one way it could have ever gone but that's never true, that's what makes a tragedy tragic, that other choices could have been made, there are always a million other ways it could have gone, we just don't like to see them because it makes us feel better, because it's easier. Endings change all the time, for better or for worse, they're changing even now and yes, some are more fixed than others, more true, more immutable, more honest. But even these, sometimes, if you're really very lucky, you can reach out and twist into something else. Look at all the musicians who haven't died. Look at all the snakebites with poison sucked out of them. Look at the king who steps from the underworld and this time, his wife takes his hand behind him and he pulls her up and out and into the sunlight and a green so bright it should be illegal, into a city of stone and streams and roses, so many roses all pink and peach and gold and their velvet-springtime-hearthealed-ancient scent fills the air and is so beautiful even the most cynical bastard can't help but hope for a moment, for how can something smell like this without hope! And for the first time since he lost her she seems to truly awake.
