#they didn't show that on screen

[obstinatecondolement]

I genuinely am kind of gobsmacked at the resolution of Nathan's storyline in TL. Like. What the fuck?

#he came back as 'assistant to the kit-man???' #honestly fucking livid about this #he is so much more qualified than anyone else on the coaching team #and they didn't even bring him back as an assistant coach #and like... it was a self-flagellating 'oh god oh fuck' thing that he suggested?? #they didn't show that on screen #and if it was a 'I want to have a less stressful job because prestige is not important to me anymore' they... also didn't show that #and you have to read things with *extreme* generosity to find that interpretation #it just looks like they wanted to humble and humiliate him #because god forbid that he had any valid reasons for feeling the way he did #and that anyone should have to apologise to him #oh no he just randomly went mad with the desire for power and turned evil for a while apparently! #weird! #also fucking sucks that jade faces no criticism within the narrative for the weird hostile and then high handed way she treated nathan #oh no she's 'perfect' #and nathan's happy ending is that he gets to have A seat at the table #the table being a window seat at a midlist restaurant #and being *allowed* to be subordinate to two white men he is more qualified than #and‚ again‚ this is with the benefit of the doubt that he did get promoted back to assistant coach in the following season #which I don't think we can say is a sure thing! #matching athletic zip-ups aside #I just... ugh #I feel like they really wanted to Subvert Expectations with stuff like Roy being the new manager #and that... was prioritised over other things #like not doing a racism #anyway... #there were things I enjoyed about the finale #but this was very hard to swallow #ted lasso spoilers

DO NOT BE AFRAID

this is combining Ovid's Heroides and the Excidium Troie because I can't stop thinking of Hermes telling him not to be afraid. what the fuck!! Ares is wearing the crown that Paris gave him.

I have. thoughts. about Paris. he's almost got this Troilos parallel in my mind, that the event that defines him in detail exists in a lost narrative that we don't have (the Cypria), but everyone else knew. the event that defines Troilos is his death (murdered, butchered by Achilles, the violence of which haunts everything after. Achilles, child killer, you can't escape that!), and the event that defines Paris is the Judgement. what's a lost text but a kind of grave!!

idk I don't think that Paris before the Judgement would recognize himself after bc when you become god touched, it rearranges your guts. you become transformed in the worst way possible! how could you recognize yourself! but I also think that all the Parises after the Judgement would recognize each other because that event is so locked into the trauma of war and the scar it leaves on the land, it's like a scar on the narrative too. it exists like this forever, over and over again, so you exist like that forever too. Troy collects grief and despairs.

Troy as trauma: Reflections on intergenerational transmission and the locus of trauma, Andromache Karanika

and Paris is like. a miserable little god/corpse-puppet or something, like a match for the gods to throw onto gasoline.

The Excidium Troie + Ovid's Heroides:

#long post #paris of troy #komiks tag #it's all greek to me #like. DISTANTLY. its #the iliad #drawing tag #listen i know it's fun to dunk on paris. but im a chronic killjoy. i know its cringe. mea culpa etc #i would love. I WOULD LOVE. to draw a comic and not have the commentary notes be longer than the comic itself #unfortunately i like to read and i cannot stop talking about things that i read. so this will not be changing. #ngl i keep hearing the last line 'my brother says you are a just judge' as 'and brutus says he is an honorable man' and that's smth for sur #god i wish this was shorter but then i remember it could've been longer bc i started drawing this while watching #some excellent korean horror but then i looked at myself in the mirror and said 'no. get your shit together.' #but that show is what sparked this. the themes. god i love shows. a round of applause for tv shows. #in a different world theres a version of me that didn't exercise self restraint and there's 30 screen caps from a horror show here too

um, hi?🥴

well, it has been a hot minute since i've been around. first thing first, i am super sorry about disappearing off the face of the planet with no warning of any kind.

second, i wanted to thank everyone who sent me a message checking in on me. i logged in today to an overwhelming amount of love and that really meant so much to me. y'all are literally the sweetest people ever. it would take me a full 24hrs to reply to them all so i'll spare y'all the flood of me being sappy, but the summary is I LOVE YOU (yes, i am talking to you, you beautiful soul and precious person). just know that if you sent me a message i read it more than once and it made me happy cry.

third, let's go over my excuses. i won't bore y'all with the details but life got tough. many of you know i was job searching, and the sort of good news is i got a job! and it's technically a great job. medicine has just burned me out to a degree where i looked forward to nothing. so then i felt disgustingly disrespectful and ungrateful for the opportunities i have. my brain was a vicious cycle for a bit there.

fourth, and the final portion of this rambling i promise, the topic of writing. this entire time i've been able to work on my original work which has been super rewarding. i think i'll be able to get some copies out to beta readers soon and hopefully get some ARCs ready for the summer. but in terms of what's going on here, i haven't had time to work on a lot but before i went MIA i was like 90% done with the next chapter of 'Take Care of You' so i'm hopeful to get that out at the very least. the good news is not only is that chapter decent in length but it also gives y'all all the answers you've been waiting oh so patiently for (: anyways, from here on out i'll try to be better about answering asks and i'll work on some stuff for y'all promise💜

#sorry #sorry sorry #sorry sorry sorry #i can't say it enough #i didn't mean to disappear #but to everyone who showed me love while i was gone #i love you x100000000 #i'm reaching through the screen to place a tender smooch on your forehead #unless you're not a fan of touch in which case i am blowing you a kiss #my loves

#farscape #john x aeryn #claudia black #ben browder #the show's creator did plan for it to be a love story btwn John x Aeryn #but Ben and Claudia wanted to have as much input as possible to make sure it stayed that way #and the show was very collaborative so they did have a lot of input #and they made a lot of really great acting choices #in 2019 Claudia said there had been a storyline that didn't sit well with either of them #because they felt that John and Aeryn only had their hearts on each other #but it sounds like they were bringing in another woman for John to have a thing with ig #idk if they're talking about Jenavian in LATP #but I know Ben protested against that #but he didn't win that time ugh #the vid from 2019 is mine #sorry for the camera work #i was trying to film with my phone but also making sure I was in the moment #and actually watching the panel with my own eyes and not through my phone screen #so sometimes it went off-center #my gifs #my gifs: farscape

THE HARD CUT TO LANFEAR AFTER THIS IS SENDING ME LMAOOO

#HELPWRGNKWRGOIWRJ #sarah watches wot #I needed to rewatch this asap #so enjoy the liveblogging I didn't do when I watched it the first time bc I was just sooo focused on the screen #wot show spoilers #2x08 what was meant to be #wheel of time

watching dead boy detectives when you've lived in coastal bc

i love that they have a ship that services a metro area of 2.4 million people & all of southern vancouver island, to depict the ferry to (checks notes) port townsend, wa, pop. 10,388. cannot overstate how incredibly funny the scale is. on a regular day that route has more passengers than the entire population of port townsend. like a title card saying our beloved characters had to take three trains and a regional bus line and then smash cutting to a red london double-decker

that being said. bc ferries both as a crown corporation and as individual vessels is DEFINITELY haunted so this tracks actually

#dead boy detectives #BC FERRIES! BC FERRIES!! #ship looks so funny without BC Ferries pasted on the side #you can still see the corner of the ship name though #*squinting* #is it you...spirit of vancouver island?? #queen of new westminster?? coastal renaissance??? #man i looked it up #port townsend's ferry is ADORABLE why didn't they show it #no it's our leviathan interceptor-class 300 car 1600 passenger ferries instead #absurdity aside i truly was EMBARRASSINGLY excited to see bc ferries on screen #canadians love seeing canada in media #even accidentally #for the five people who also recognized bc ferries #i love you #follow for more ship facts #(this is a lie) #(probably) #love that charles loved it too #the ferry can indeed be brills

How I sleep knowing I'll never trust anyone that hates Sydney but worships Richie:

#the bear #the bear fx #sydney adamu #carmen berzatto #richie jerimovich #jk kind of #well on days I don't see or think about Sydney haters #under every damn comment section in this fandom is someone saying Sydney didn't take accountability #like I know we all have our biases but yall are really shameless about it #Sydney scored A LOT of Ws for The Beef AND The Bear #but one time she makes a mistake and justifiably walks away from a toxic work environment she's the devil #Richie worked at The Beef for years and Sydney did more for it in what less than four months than he did #on top of being a prick to Sydney in particular because she was changing things he wanted to keep the same #to the detriment of the restaurant but also everyone #and overall being unpleasant to Carmy #Nat and anyone that didn't find him funny or interesting or like his bs #pre-Forks Richie reminds me of those types of people that only listen to people that like them #and I love that because it's realistic to some ppl #I do like Richie #it just leaves a bitter taste in my mouth knowing there are people that hate Sydney #ignore her accomplishments only to raise up Richie #in the same breath when the actual show is showing you what's up #like you'd think there were different versions of the show with how these two are perceived #I get this weird need to defend Sydney when people shit on her because I wonder how often said people treat the Sydneys of the world #but that aside #In Fishes Richie mentions something about wasting potential at the beef #In Ceres it's implied he called the popo on the dealers after Sydney deescalated a situation Richie previously dealt with #in an unorthodox manner #he recognised he needed to change but still was an arsehole to the one person who was facilitating that change effectively Sydney #this show is great but people denying what they're seeing on their own screens is crazy

"you never bother to find out what it does to someone, being stuffed in a stone box for weeks, or months, or even years?"

i seriously hope that this wasn't just a throw-away line they put in the show except it probably was, that they make the decision to touch upon what happened to her, and that we can see her heal from it

#arcane #vi #egg gifs #her trauma and inner demons are likely equally as unique and haunting as jinx's #and i don't think her experience should be understated #i wanna see more of vi's please #the one thing that i find really unfortunate about this show (and shows in general) is how short they are #i would have killed to see moments that we didn't see on screen #like what happened between caitlyn and vi on the boat from stillwater #i really want to see what jinx was doing or possibly saying while preparing for the tea party #just stuff like that i dunno #filler episodes come back i need you </3

[zo1nkss]

It's just that ppl who woobify the yt antagonist ALWAYS get the fan service. They ALWAYS get to live in their little fantasy world where the guy did nothing wrong and they can just go about their lives pretending everything is fine.

But for once a showrunner didn't choose them and they can't fucking handle that.

#Void Rambles #fandom crit #like I genuinely think I liked Izzy more this episode than I have since his introduction #and its not because he died its because he showed how much he let the crew change him when he faced Ricky at the republic #he didn't make excuses he didn't belittle them #he was offered a second opportunity to betray Ed for the English again and he made the wise decision to learn from his mistakes instead #if Max had given us those extra 2 episodes I think we could have gotten an actually fulfilling redemption arc #because clearly he did the work off screen and I would have loved to see some of that
