it is impossible to describe how fucking evil johnny depp is in a way that sounds remotely believable to people, like there are people in the notes on that post like “had to check this is true because it sounded too absurd” when “selling nfts of the young actor who famously cared deeply for the environment and died on the sidewalk outside your club while you were playing on stage with your shitty band” probably isn’t even in the top ten of straight up fucking evil shit that man has done and that’s just the stuff that’s verifiable public knowledge

i saw a production of nozze di figaro where the actor played figaro like this (with this sort of quiet clever wiliness and he had all these Moments of depth and he played a very nuanced take on him)
and then i saw a production of barber of seville where figaro is played what i can only describe as this
what i can only conclude. is that between then and Nozze something fucking Happened

Sméagol and the Gift
'Now!' said Sam. 'At last I can deal with you!' He leaped forward with drawn blade ready for battle. But Gollum did not spring. He fell flat upon the ground and whimpered.
'Don't kill us,' he wept. 'Don't hurt us with nassty cruel steel! Let us live, yes, live just a little longer. Lost lost! We're lost. And when Precious goes we'll die, yes, die into the dust.'
Devastated by this. Just a little longer, he begs. Even though his existence is a torment. Even though the will that holds him to life is barely his own anymore. He has long outlived his time but it's such a cruelty that now the only freedom for him is in death. I'm glad Sam didn't kill him but the whole scenario is awful.
When a mortal keeps a ring of power he does not gain more life, he continues, denied natural mortality as the fear of death is amplified and twisted into fear of separation, nothing matters anymore but the keeping, the continuing. In that miserable existence there is no peace, and at its end there is no graceful goodbye to life, there is only dust. Sudden, empty, and final.
It would take murder to spare him that. Or falling with the ring into the fire.
Bilbo let it go in time (did he feel anything when it was destroyed?) Frodo is freed of it now, though the toll it extracted for the separation was at very least a finger. It was too late for Gollum for the price to be anything other than it was, and that's brutal.
If you live long enough, death is no longer the enemy. What Sauron did to Gollum ensured that it would always be the enemy, to be feared and avoided for ever, once time and the ring had fashioned it into the only escape left. Evil.

i've been thinking of foreigner's god by hozier in the context of the legion's footsoldiers - particularly the ones from tribes like the twisted hairs, who were assimilated into the legion through conquest and force, their land occupied, their cultures destroyed, their people either put to the sword or made to serve a self-proclaimed godking.
since some liar brought the thunder / when the land was godless and free / her eyes look sharp and steady into the empty parts of me / but still my heart is heavy with the hate of some other man's beliefs // always a well-dressed fraud who wouldn't spare the rod / never for me
if we take how the legion is making moves to assimilate the great khans into their ranks as their modus operandi, then we can say that the legion always sends an ambassador to sweet talk the tribes into joining them before violently absorbing them into its slave army. so, "well-dressed fraud" is a fitting term for the emissary at red rock for the great khans, vulpes inculta for the twisted hairs, and ulysses for the white legs.
wondering who i copy / mustering some tender charm / she feels no control of her body / she feels no safety in my arms / i've no language left to say it / but all i do is quake to her / breaking if i try convey it / the broken love i make to her // all that i've been taught and every word i've got / is foreign to me
after the inevitable betrayal, the members of these tribes would become slaves, made to join the army or do back-breaking work. with their histories, their cultures, their very selves erased, what are they now? what do they have left? they can't practice their beliefs anymore. their children are taken from them to be brainwashed. their people are just... gone. there's nothing left to do but scream the name of the foreign god (aka caesar); the purest expression of grief

One day hopefully soon I'm going to write an entire essay (ideally I'll learn how to video essay but essay is at least part of it) on Ayin using solely dialogue from Lobcorp because I am occasionally very tired of certain parts of fandom.
