[sauronism]

feeling vindicated by clark recent interview because i remember pointing out how galadriel is a mirror to sauron ( more specifically a reflection to one of his older aspect, mairon ). her ambition and pride, along with her relentless pursuit for justice, is a mirage to his past as he believe he is ALL of that aspect when he is not. his attachment towards galadriel has always been about what he personally desire and want in himself, rather than a mutual understanding to one another, as both of them deceived the other.

he sees himself as a bearer of true justice, despite the cruelty he commit. he believe in his cause to reshape the middle earth, and when he sees another being such as he, ancient and passionate of her own objective, he sees a manifestation of himself within her. he sees the being he was once and idealized. in return, he wants that. he wants her companionship because he wanted her to be his eyes where he had once lost.

twiddling my thumbs, i realized in ways i rlly do prefer 2010 Nier over the remake. but ofc, i love them both very much. just … smth about the 2010’s. there’s so much charm. i also think nier (adult to be exact) and kainé just look quite nice, even if the faces are a little goofy. and the piss filter + maximum grittiness is peak.

Friends who mold clay together stay together.

Previous / Next

Caleb: Your idea of a night on the town is crashing your former campus?

Helena: It’s my happy place, okay? The last time I remember feeling safe I was here.

-

Helena: Huh. Foxbury has gotten more creative. Still assholes, though.

-

Caleb: Are you picking the lock?

Helena: Are you an undercover cop? Relax.

Caleb: I just wouldn’t have guessed casual breaking and entering was your style.

Helena: I’ve already done worse things than the old me could even imagine. Committing a petty crime seems hilariously quaint in comparison.

-

Caleb: Tell me this isn’t about finally getting revenge on some professor who once gave you a poor grade. Clay?

Helena: Ulrike made me take a pottery class with her one summer. I was terrible at it, but for once I didn’t care. It was oddly meditative. My brain was at peace. I could really use that feeling now.

-

Helena: Caleb, look! [hisses dramatically]

Caleb: [laughing] Stop! You’re distracting me.

-

Helena: Will you show me the rest of the story now?

Caleb: Tomorrow. You should really try to get some rest first.

a good animated show must have at least 4 of the following:

- gay

- existentialism/nihilism

- morally grey lead characters

- horrendously depressing themes/messages

- psychedelic weird shit that highlights the absurdity of life

i don’t make the rules (i do make the rules pls recommend me shows—i’ll put the ones i’ve watched in the tags, feel free to add any you think of)

something sooooo interesting about sam saying ‘i have powers’ present tense in american nightmare. even tho he proceeds to use past tense when talking about what he could do… he still identifies as having them. taking that as confirmation they’re still within him and he’s just too deeply traumatised by s4/5 to use them again <3 if this show was good though sam‘s psychic powers would’ve made a comeback

Is it really your favourite show if you’re not constantly warning your friends every second episode, “Okay, now this one’s kinda bad but—”

crazy how santa fe prologue is the most romantic song in newsies

[aliusfrater]

my favourite flavour of cognitive dissonance about dean's character and people's perception of him as queer. the dean skew/omission of sam + fanonical idea of dean is so baked into their idea of the show, the show itself revolves around these ideas and these ideas are within the show, but it's just surrounded by the writers doing a bad job of conveying specifically what they want from the show. to them 4.14 is intentionally conveying something about dean, but the writers simply fucked up the way it's presented to the audience. it's like they're incapable of perceiving it as an exploration of sam and dean's relationship, and, by proxy, incapable of perceiving ideas related to affection as anything but the binary of allosexual or sexual, or compartmentalise sexuality into the existing labels

Broke (2016): BBC Sherlock is a phenomenal piece of media and anything that seems like a flaw just hasn't been fully explored yet

Woke (2020): BBC Sherlock is an incredibly flawed series run by an egotistical writer, it never deserved the hype and is actively bad on so many fronts (especially representation)

Bespoke (2024): BBC Sherlock is flawed and bogged down by increasingly poor writing, which many fans refused to see while it was airing, leading to hugely misplaced expectations (particularly for the final series), AND it has the seeds of some compelling characterizations and portrayals, some genuinely solid performances, and touches--albeit imperfectly--on complexities that are still being discussed today (particularly as it relates to the relationship between Sherlock and John). The huge cultural impact of the show has created a massive pendulum effect in its public perception, leading to most people today remembering a caricature of the show (whether positive or negative) rather than appreciating its nuanced merits and failings...that being said Season 4 sucked
