i think it would be very funny if, when you are sleep deprived, instead of spawning phantoms, you eventually just pass the fuck out on the floor and wake up like 3 days later, starving
atreus's war with identity -- it's a common teenagehood arc, but i'm thinking specifically about his variety of titles, him desiring to find out "who loki is" and ESPECIALLY kratos's "what do I call you?"
kratos and tyr, specifically in valhalla
kratos's own war with identity, more-so aimed at his ability to settle into a new version of himself and becoming more extroverted regarding who he really is beyond his trauma
kratos struggling to see and accept atreus until he can accept himself
tyr, in valhalla: "i SEE you, kratos. one of a kind."
tyr guiding kratos in his path of accepting identity
kratos and tyr's relationship in general honestly
kratos's "show me" during the first fight with tyr LIKE ???
anyway guys, the norse era of god of war, especially ragnarok and valhalla, has queer undertones that become more clear the farther into the series you get — (gets shot)
The Mirror-Faced Grim Reaper in Meshes of the Afternoon (1943), dir. Maya Deren, Alexander Hammid
“This film is endowed with an acute sense of restlessness and alienation; reflecting this uncanny estrangement in the doubling, tripling and quadrupling of its central character, and in its cyclic narrative, a structure that seems condemned to repetition. Why is the hooded Death figure constructed as a kind of mirror? Are we dealing with Nietzsche’s notion of ‘eternal return’? (…) You could go on forever about the meaning buried in this particular work. It invites and eludes analysis.” – CINEMA AND DREAM-LOGIC IN MESHES OF THE AFTERNOON
