"I don't know whether in that moment I felt that Kendall just wanted to die—I think he did—or if he wanted to be saved by essentially a proxy of his father." - Jeremy Strong

i know that Screen Rant interview has really bad quality, but I wish someone could gif the moment Jacob asked about dream!Lou. Like, you could see he's serious asking that, and Sam was seriously thinking about it, and you know they'd probably be having a discussion on that afterwards

#iwtv #we got several glimpses of they work with each other off camera these days #and it fascinates me #(the other is the anti hero part) #like no wonder they can't stop talking #moi.txt #jam reiderson #*how #and i'm not talking this as a fujoshi

i have a parasocial relationship with everybody who's ever uploaded an MCC vod to archive.org

#i saw an archivist in my youtube shorts and pogged bc i recognjzed the name #several vods are labeled unknown but i think i know who uploaded them based on the formatting of the item #they are my brothers in arms my comrades. names on a screen and datapoints that become meaningful #shadow is bored but loves smajor and they loved him enough to download vods from three years ago to keep them safe #clem is a long time dedicated wilbur soot enjoyer and still to this day keeps track of wilbur content #the finnster enjoyers who upload no other mcc except finnster. the guy who saved every video from technoblade ever #(but didnt save any of his streams) #idk. as a pet project (uploading all of mcc to archive.org) ive had to keep track of every mcc upload on there & i notice who does what #and it fascinates me #wilbur is currently the most saved mcc player; he has 43 uploads that ive found #(many of which are duplicate uploads) #some people are dedicated to players and some to the event itself #im winning the numbers btw. currently 247 uploads (or about 27% of all mcc uploads to archive) #bearvocalizations

13's relationship with her parents is fascinating.

For her mom:

On one hand, she hated her mom while she was still alive. I don't want to go so far as to say that it was a justified hatred, because her mom was sick and literally couldn't help her behavior, but it was at least a hatred that was based on her mom's behavior. But then her mom died, with 13 still hating her, which means that she never actually got to say goodbye. So now she feels guilty for hating her, she misses her, but she doesn't really have any positive memories despite all that.

For her dad:

She understands that he did the best that he could. She respects him for taking care of her mom when she was sick, but she also saw him cheating on her mom when she was still alive. She tells herself that it was okay, but I can't imagine that a child wouldn't feel at least a little betrayed. Even when she realizes that he did the best he could and he took care of her and her siblings and himself in an impossible situation, she doesn't have much of a relationship with him. She doesn't let him know anything from her life and she shuts him out as much as possible. And, as Taub points out, she is fairly screwed up.

To be clear I don't have any point here, just thinking about 13.

#it's like the things she says about her mom and her dad are so opposite #but they're both screwed up in their own ways #and it fascinates me #ALSO this is completely projection free house content #are we happy now #i am in fact capable #house md #remy thirteen hadley

did you know? if you do your laundry you can get your clothes back

#fascinating stuff. let’s see if i (person with the worst executive dysfunction when it comes to doing laundry) remember it #i literally have this issue where i’ll let dirty clothes pile up in the laundry basket for an entire month #like it takes me that long to get around to it #and then- who would’ve thought- i find that i don’t have anything good to wear. strange! #finally did it last night and i’m like ohhh that was so difficult but the payoff finally #augh #peach rambles #hall of fame i guess #shut up about socks. idc. #this was a fun positivity post of sorts it’s about overcoming executive dysfunction #derailing into jokes about losing socks is. it’s not horrible but just boring and annoying #it was supposed to be celebration!! and encouragement!!!

I'm so fascinated with the background posters in Vee tower.

(Didn't include the ones in Val's room. Those ones make me super uncomfortable! XD Plus I do not want "sexy" Val pictures saved onto my computer for even a moment!)

#Hazbin Hotel #The Vees #Vox #Velvette #Valentino #Angel Dust #Edit: the reason for not including Val pics that I put on the post was honestly more of a joke #in the comments it explained it's cause his posters are more self indulgent sexy pics #while these are Vee Ads and the ads are what fascinates me... #Dunno if that helps any of the people disappointed I didn't include them lol XD

the way brennan lee mulligan plays single mothers needs to be studied because i have been thinking about the delivery of "maybe we could bump up the priority on de-cursing the old ... my only daughter in the world" for 4 days now

#sandra lynn is so. shes fascinating to me and i love her #the way her voice goes so soft as she says my only daughter in the world ..... she loves her kid so much!!!!!!! #my post #d20 #fantasy high #fhjy #also her framing it as 'for ol mom's sake' trying to get fig to prioritise herself if its framed as for someone else ...... #putting them both in a jar and shaking it

quotes by Victorians about the 1920s view of their generation's women

"We are frequently told that the Victorian woman...generally behaved like a pampered and neurotic infant. This is all moonshine. I do not think that I ever saw a woman faint before I came to London in 1869, and not often after then...they enjoyed a hearty laugh, and a good many of them a contest of wits with any man." -Nineteenth Century, a Monthly Review, 1927 (written by a man born in 1850)

"What queer ideas the girl of 1929 has about the Victorian period- they are not a bit true...Marriage was by no means the end and aim of our existence. Oxford and Cambridge claimed quite a few of us after school days were over. We had great ideas about 'life' and what it all might mean to us." -St. Petersburg Times, 1929 (written by a woman born in 1853)

"True, debutantes were chaperoned at balls. But that fact did not prevent them from dancing as frequently as they chose with their favorite partners. The idea that girls in the Victorian era spent their days sewing seams and practicing scales is another fallacy." -Gettysburg Times, July 1, 1927 (quote from the Dowager Lady Raglan, Ethel Jemima Somerset, who lived from 1857 to 1940)

#history #when they were still alive to defend themselves #maybe- much as I rag on modern historical fiction -we've gotten a bit closer to the truth than our grandparents did #see this is one reason I love studying the Victorian era (besides hoarding their detritus like a dragon I mean what) #it just is One Of The Eras Of All Time in pop culture #and it means so much to so many people that getting to the real human bottom of it fascinates me #spoiler: it boils down to 'people were people and always have been'

man i love flowey so much, i don’t think i ever realized just how funny he is when i was a teenager. i love that he save scums. i love that he gets mad when you interrupt his monologue. i love that he talks like an anime villain because he thinks frisk is chara and is playing the world’s longest game of edgy oc playground roleplaying. he has the strongest cain instinct i have ever seen. he projects like crazy. he is an incredibly sore loser. i love him

#don’t get me wrong he is also very tragic and a deeply traumatized child put in a weird undeath situation #experiencing immense grief and his body is now something that is entirely a reminder of that grief #he is a fascinating character. but also he’s funny. #i love when asriel says ‘’maybe i was projecting a little bit’’ #like. yeah. just a little

The most interesting thing to me thus far about this whole goncharov thing is that Tumblr has collectively constructed some pretty convincing side characters for this movie. Katya leaps off the page as this frustrated woman caged by her lack of autonomy, Sofia coyly plays both sides and acts above it all when really she's desperate for the same freedom Katya is. Ice Pick Joe is a less developed character who nonetheless acts as a stand in for the inescapable nature of cycles of violence. andrey, loyal to a fault, gets pulled deeper and deeper into goncharov's orbit until there's no way for him to make it out alive

and yet with all that I have ZERO sense of who goncharov is supposed to be himself. i've see a lot of stuff suggesting that the film is theoretically about loss, including the loss of one's identity, shown primarily through the way goncharov becomes unrecognizable to himself by the time of his death at the end of the film (seeing himself in a fractured mirror is a common motif). it's very interesting to me that we have a fine time coming up with a group of collective blorbos based on mafia movie tropes, but somehow the main character feels unknowable, to the degree that we had to make that one of the core themes of the film.

#idk where i'm going w this it's just rly fascinating to me #i'm watching all of this unfold like a scientist studying a colony of ants on meth btw #goncharov #unreality

my favorite thing about anakin as a character is the inherent nuance lucas wrote into his story, like he's neither an innocent victim nor an inherently evil monster, he's just some guy put in a series of Situations and ultimately failing the test of his humility and self-control. he was certainly flattered and shaped by the devil, spiraling into something unrecognizable, but he chose to take every step down the pathway to hell. lucas knew he would lose a certain demographic by making him basically a greedy pawn in the larger story, not a righteous betrayed macho badass, but he did it anyway. he made him an awkward romantic and a loyal friend, a generous boy and a brilliant teen. he made sure he had all the positive qualities that meant that he had potential to be so much more than vader, but it was clearly his choice to lie, murder, and fully squander that potential. there are no excuses for what he became, no acceptable reasons to commit mass slaughter. he became an unbelievably selfish and impatient man, reckless and wantonly violent. hayden captured that nuance so well, nobody can match the sweetness of his smile and the absolute horror of his scowl on mustafar. to view him through a single lens as either pure victim of manipulation and (canonically unsupported) emotional neglect, or a creepy evil villain, denies the heart of his story and the weight of his tragedy. he's neither an angel nor a demon, he's both and neither, he's deeply human, a classical tragic hero with a flaw of greed. lucas made a choice with the prequels to tell a story that not everyone wanted to hear, and the result was a character that i think is one of the best of modern pop culture, mostly because he feels to me so very, very ancient and eternal.

#yes i am vaguing star wars author mike chen's recent tweets #don't worry about it lol #anakin skywalker #he's so important to me lmao such a fascinating character #sw
