...Well damn

If you've seen most of my recent posts to this blog, I've been yelling at James Roberts for making me cry a lot, but it's mostly been an exaggeration. This is an exception.

hot take i guess but when i watch the scene with billy and agatha where she finds out for sure he’s billy maximoff and starts tearing up, i perceive it as being bc she’s still a bit (read: significantly) heartbroken that he isn’t nicky. he isn’t hers. sure, she might’ve known from the beginning to some degree that he was wanda’s, but she doesn’t know for sure. we see that every time she panics because he’s hurt. we see that in the way she refused to leave his side when he was asleep. we see that when rio herself has to shake agatha out of it, saying, “agatha… that boy isn’t yours.” like YES logically i think she knew he wasn’t nicky, that he couldn’t be but we CAN see how painfully, hopelessly desperate agatha is to think that maybe he could be. so in my mind, she sees billy maximoff standing in front of her, finally being met with indisputable proof that he could not possibly be her lost son. how could she not tear up at that?

the thing about sol and albin is that they found true unconditional love and support in a place full of nothing but lies and completely conditional acceptance. and like that genuinely sets the tone for the rest of their relationship - it’s the two of them against the world, baby! of course albin’s ready to drop everything and follow sol into a revolution; their relationship is built off the understanding that they’ll have each other’s back even when everyone else is out to get them. and it’s not just that, it’s also the way that sol’s love and affection for albin never falters even as albin fumbles social interactions and constantly embarrasses himself by others standards; it’s the way that albin brings the entire revolution to follow sol across the continent; it’s the way that even after this first real stint of time spent completely apart they fall right back into watching each other’s backs bc they never truly stopped doing it. they’re just really important to me ok what do you want me to say

I am a chrysalis. It is a difficult phase, melting down all that you had built around yourself to protect yourself, all the work I have done, accumulating insight and skills, until I have wrapped myself in a shell to come back to the most basic part of myself to rebuild myself into what I am meant to be: a human beautifully flawed and brimming with vitality. In some ways, I will always be in the chrysalis, always breaking down to build back parts of myself more truly me than before. Break and build. Break and build.

But, soon, so soon, I will fly. Oh, how I will fly.

RELEASE A PLAYLIST FOR THE SECRET ADMIRER FIC YOU COWARD!

I mean um

*clears throat* please???? 🥹🥹🥹

I realize this is like halfway to a playlist already, but honestly, actually making the playlist implies more surety than I have about what I'd include lol. Also, Eyes in the Sun by Florist is the song the fic was named after, so!

There's a deep irony in Berserk being so admired by people who really really hate what Berserk is about on an emotional level, but especially when writers want to take influence from it. Because Berserk is very strong thematically, and someone who can't acknowledge subtext is going to whiff on emulating anything good.

so i've been doing a doctor who rewatch with my flatmate, which is giving me whole new avenues to think about doctor who meta from

and i wanna talk about this moment

the dalek emperor asks "so prove yourself, doctor. what are you, coward or killer?"

and i think the full context of his response goes a little underappreciated

because especially if you know a lot about doctor who, this line seems fairly obvious. still poignant as hell, but we know the doctor, and we know he's the man who'd always make that choice, it's built into his very mythology

except this is nine

and the choice he's being offered is whether or not to use a weapon that will kill every living thing in its radius - it'll wipe out the daleks, but the range of it also includes the entire earth. you can finally stop the war, but you have to sacrifice a planet you've come to call home, and all of its people, in order to do so. and you'd better act fast, because the daleks are waging war right now, people are already dying - if you don't do something, they're going to wipe out the human race anyway

logically, he should. logically, he has to.

but this is a doctor who is fresh of the heels of making that same choice! he already did it! not too long ago, with his own world in the balance, he proved himself killer, once and for all. what's one more planet, compared to all that? one more planet, to prove it wasn't all worthless? if you let them go now, you killed your own people for nothing

i don't think he knew, until he got his hands on that trigger, what choice he would make. he was certainly planning to be able to do it. and it's not like he stopped being a soldier after the war, when he met that one lone dalek he did everything in his power to kill it, to make the war finally over, to make it worth it. nine doesn't want to be a killer, but he knows that he is. and he's proven it many times this season

until right now. staring down his worst enemy, his worst nightmare, knowing that if he acts with mercy here he'll condemn the universe to destruction, he does it anyway. throws everything aside to give the devil itself the kindness neither of them deserve

this isn't just the moment he declared himself the man who never would. this is the moment he became the man who never would

and time lord regeneration's a funny thing. same man, new man. same memories, new personality, new goals, new ideals. and sure, some aspects of that are random, but there's still a chain of connection. each new incarnation becomes who they are in response to how the last one ended. the 50th enjoyed going into the differences between ten and eleven, how eleven ran away from everything that the doctor was before, played up the childish and the trickster and never fully looked at all the horrors in their past, because ten couldn't help but take responsibility. he considered responsibility the only moral option, but at the end was still so angry that this weight never stopped dragging him down, that he could never make the selfish decision. the world isn't fair and i don't want it to end like this, i see so much of that in eleven

and that defining moment of nine's that birthed ten, that's right here

the man who never would is a line stolen directly from the doctor's daughter. ten is the doctor who holds up genocide as the worst crime someone can commit, no matter the circumstances. ten who will let a dalek go just to avoid causing another. ten who won't touch a weapon of any kind unless absolutely necessary. who doesn't even want to be in the same room as a gun. it all comes down to this moment, with nine against the end of everything, in the final hours of his life

handed an identical choice to the one that changed his life forever and saying never again.

Claude Monet, Chrysanthemums, 1881.

Psychological Themes: Vibrancy and Fragility

The intense red blooms at the forefront can be seen as a representation of passion, vitality, and even aggression. Red, in psychoanalytic theory, often evokes strong emotional responses, typically associated with desire, love, or anger. These flowers, while alive and in full bloom, are also fleeting—they symbolize the ephemeral nature of beauty and life, pointing toward the unconscious awareness of life's transience.

Monet’s use of brushstrokes creates a sense of movement and dynamism in what would normally be a static still life. This movement can be interpreted as emotional turbulence—the chaos that exists beneath the surface of everyday appearances. Despite the beauty of the flowers, the swirling strokes suggest an underlying tension, as if something more complex is brewing beneath the vivid colors.

The Symbolism of the Vase

The vase, solid and decorative, acts as a container for this burst of life and emotion. In a psychoanalytic context, it could symbolize the ego—the part of the psyche that contains and regulates our raw emotions (the id). The vase, beautifully decorated but also delicate, hints at the fragility of this containment. Just as the flowers rely on the vase to stand upright and organized, the individual relies on the ego’s defense mechanisms to maintain emotional control. However, the overwhelming red of the flowers spilling over the edge suggests that emotions are difficult to fully contain, and that passion may spill beyond the boundaries of control.

Unconscious Conflict: Beauty and Chaos

There is an unconscious conflict at play between the vibrant beauty of life and the chaos it can cause. The contrast between the delicacy of the flowers and the intense red hue draws attention to this tension. Beauty, while pleasurable, can be overwhelming, even destructive in its intensity. The flowers may symbolize an uncontainable desire for expression—a desire that, while beautiful, may lead to emotional or psychological disarray if not properly managed.

Emotional Impact: Subtle Anxiety

For the viewer, the painting may evoke a sense of subtle anxiety masked by beauty. The color red and the almost uncontrolled expansion of the flowers can stir feelings of excess, suggesting that too much of a good thing can lead to emotional instability. Yet, the painting also exudes abundance and life force, hinting at the inner drive for creativity and vitality that sometimes pushes us to our emotional limits.

Ideal Collector Profile: Strengths and Hidden Fears

A person drawn to this painting likely has a strong appreciation for beauty and intensity. They are someone who values expression and may feel a deep connection to passionate or vigorous emotions. However, this individual may also harbor fears of losing control over their emotions. The overwhelming red flowers could reflect a fear of being consumed by their own desires or passions, which they might keep carefully contained—like the flowers within the vase—but are always at risk of spilling over.

This person is likely an ambitious, emotionally driven leader, who thrives on energy and creativity, but struggles with managing their emotional boundaries. They may seek to project an image of power and vitality, while privately grappling with the fragility of their emotional control.

I was not mentally prepared for the amount of comments I'd get either borderline complaining ab or being worried about the fact I tossed Orochimaru into my fic. I refuse to have regrets bc I have PLANS for him and I really like his character but like
