"if i was orpheus i would simply not turn around" yes you would. if you were orpheus and you loved eurydice, you would. to love someone is to turn around. to love someone is to look at them. whichever version of the myth — he hears her stumble, he can't hear her at all, he thinks he's been tricked — he turns around because he loves her. that's why it's a tragedy. because he loves her enough to save her. because he loves her so much he can't save her. because he will always, always turn around. "if i was orpheus i would simply —" you wouldn't be orpheus. you wouldn't be brave enough to walk into the underworld and save the person you love. be serious

What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though.

What's the deal with 21:21 ?
What’s the deal with-
WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH
oh dear sweet anon
let me take you down season 3 symbolism lane
do you remember this iconic clip?
Well the title of this clip waasssss - you guessed it
What does 21:21 mean?
a couple things -
firstly 21 is an angel number which symbolises that your ideas and beliefs are becoming a reality and that changes are coming into your life. - I think this could be the thing that made Even go “are you serious? we’re going” when Isak told him this time because….to him it was practically a sign that he needs to make his dreams become a reality right now with Isak….
Second - in the bible (which was a major theme in Isak’s season because of his mothers messages and connection to religion) genesis 21:21 is literally The Birth of Isaac. i am not kidding
you would also be aware that water itself is a symbol of birth… so many of us believe that the use of 21:21 and Isak and Even having their first kiss underwater is symbolising that Isak is being roborn. He is finally becoming the person he was always too afraid to be. The real Isak has just been born the moment he leaves with Even at 21:21 and kisses him under water.
The thing that makes this interpretation super obvious in this clip is the fact that Even is literally dressed as god lol.
and then of course the reveal that
ISAK WAS LITERALLY BORN AT 21:21
so yeah rebirth of Isak alright.
and then finally
21:21 doesn’t just mean something significant for Isak…or for Even it means something special and important to the both of them. Together
which is why when Isak posted this on the 21st of May 2017
we all died, because this was a reminder from Isak that it is 21:21 right now in this universe….and guess what? Him and Even are together. Right now at 21:21 the Isak and Even lying together in each others arms in this universe are together and safe and happy and loved.
the fact that his background is very universy further emphasises this.
they are together and happy in this universe at 21:21 and Isak wanted to share it because dear god isn’t it beautiful?
