Love your work! I was wondering (because you book recs are always amazing), what are your favourite books of all time?

Ada by Vladimir Nabokov

#everyone always bangs on about Lolita but IMO it's mid compared to some of his other work #Pale Fire was a banger #Ada might genuinely be one of the best things ever written in the English language #IMO anyway #books #used to date a girl whose fave book was Lolita and mine was Ada #I thought this said something very important about our personalities because Ada has a happy ending #Whereas the protagonist of Lolita literally dies of a broken heart in the opening pages #also he's a nonce #press G to pay disrespects

Honestly, the fact that Wolfwood tries to use the same silliness and over-the-top goofiness that Vash himself uses to cope and cheer other folks around him with (albeit in a... very older brother who's been through some shit Wolfwood kinda way) to try and drag him out of his funk is both so sweet and heartbreaking

#Trigun #TrigunBookclub #Pretty sure other people have said similar things #But I love them ): #It speaks deeply to the humanity that Vash has awakened in Wolfwood #But also how deeply scarred he is that THIS is the bullshit he tries to say #Like #Sir #That's a bit grim m'dude #But Vash has had gags along this formula before y'know? #So it's obvious where he got it from #Imo anyway #I could be reading it wrong

Here's the thing,

Eddie comes from a big family,

Eddie has two sisters,

Eddie has multiple female cousins,

Eddie was married himself,

When he asked, "But his wedding is about you?"

That was NOT jealousy, that is simple common sense, knowing that a wedding day is about the bride and groom who have waited for this day their entire lives, and spent so much money, and energy and frayed nerves to get to this exact moment,

Wanting to, at the same time, enjoy this day that is about them, and also survive all their loved ones on both sides, that, from experience, don't always get along, with as little hangups and drama as possible.

When Eddie asks Buck "But the wedding is about you?" He reminds Buck that indeed it is not about him, and that being seen with Tommy in front of friends and family could wait.

Not forever, just enough for his sister and their friend to get married and go on their honeymoon.

Then he can tell whoever he wants whatever he wants. So that his sister and friend don't have to deal with drama that isn't theirs on their wedding day because they have enough to be stressed about as it is.

I remind everyone that the last time the Buckleys and Hans seniors were at the same house, they were less than cordial.

Now I realize, you all are gonna go, what and why do you assume bad things immediately, and why shouldn't he bring his guy to the wedding? And all sorts of questions little siblings and unaware ppl ask.

Because as someone who grew up in a huge family with drama queens who love chaos, and been to numerous weddings and helped my own younger sister organize one, I can tell you that without anyone coming out, there wasn't one wedding of my aunts and uncles and several of my cousins that I have been to that didn't end up with a crying bride.

For multiple reasons, most of them was about a mother, a mother in law or some family member who decided to air their grievances or opinions and make someone else's day about them.

So no, Eddie wasn't jealous, he was spot on with his assertion

And Tommy didn't clock anything from Eddie’s question, he looked just as put out with an "I didn't think about it" expression himself and waited for Buck to respond, because what can you say to that?

And Tommy merely went with Buck's wishes, he didn't advocate for or against, he's just there for the ride.

Eddie was polite in comparison to other LI Buck had before with Tommy, and even offered him a drink.

I don't think Eddie was jealous, Eddie knows he's still in a relationship, and he's not quite ready to get there.

He is protective of Buck, he always has been. But he is not quite jealous yet.

He needs to make an active choice to acknowledge that he wants Buck that way first. Give it a couple of episodes.

I guess I'm kind of a weirdo among my peers because even though I'm not practicing anymore, I still find a ton of value in religion.

I'm opting to put my kids in a Catholic school because 1) I'm Italian, and it's culturally significant to my family. And 2) I'm sick to death of this secular nihilism that's infected the education system.

If my kids have to be inundated with the panicked cries of "the planet is dying, abandon hope!" Or hear constantly that their race/sex makes them irredeemably evil. It might help to have a bit of the ol' "god loves you and life is beautiful" to try to counter it.

Luzs main problem is that she puts everything on herself. Every problem that pops up is something she has to solve on her own bc she doesnt want to be a burden on her loved ones. She does a book report with live snakes bc she thinks itll take the stress off her mother worrying about her grades. She nearly gets blasted to bits by the blights to get gus and willow unexpelled. She brushes off her grief over her father so Amity can focus on her own problems.

It's kind of like how hunter thought in s2 and early s3, but luz isnt so jaded that she consciously recognizes this. "This is tangentially caused by me so its all my fault" and "Im just as bad as belos because im doing similar things to him" are her ways of explaining this mindset to herwelf because deep down, even luz doesnt know what the root of her problem is. These are logical fallacies that are easily broken, but luzs actual problem is her fear of burdening those she loves. Unless she addresses this, she will just come up with a new fallacy to keep with this mindset.

Luz told eda that it was her fault her magic was gone, so shes been a burden and needs to put herself in danger to make money for the family. Eda does talk about how luz should depend on her, but she mostly focuses on telling luz she isnt a burden. And its true! Eda views luz as a net good in her life! But luz still views herself as a burden.

Luz says that her grief over her dad is no big deal because she wants to help amity. Amity says that no, it is a big deal and shell help luz grieve. And amitys right. It is a big deal. Luz thinks so too. Its just that she doesnt want anyone else to be brought down by her personal isues.

Luz thinks because she helped phillip find the collector, that its her responsibility to atone for everything. Her friends and mother assure her that it wasnt her fault, and even if it was, its okay to make mistakes. But even if luz knows all that, she still thinks of herself responsible for defeating belos. Her friends who want to help are just tagalongs that she needs to do all this for.

Finally, luz questions if killing belos would make her as bad as him. The titan assures her thats not the case. Luz is nothing like belos because her intentions are good. Luz knows this. She says this in kings tide and says something similar every other time she gets to banter with belos. Maybe she doesnt believe what she says in some of the more stressful scenes but at least in the finale, luz understands this.

And then the titan grants luz their power. He gives her their hope of defeating belos and makes her responsible for the fate of everyone on the boiling isles. Luz gets help from king and eda in mastering her power, but otherwise she is the gamechanger in the fight, the one who deals the most damage. She accepts that she needs to be the one to defeat belos, and most of her friends dont get the opportunity to share in her burden by helping.

When belos spews his nonsense about how luz is evil for not helping him, she doesnt respond because shes known its not true for a long time. The titan just confirmed it for her. But luz is still shouldering the burden of saving the isles. With help from barely any of her loved ones.

The solution to luzs fear of burdening the people she loves is for her loved ones to show that its okay. To be loved is to be someone elses burden and share someone elses burden in turn. If luz cant do something, someone who cares about her can help her do it. Or do it for her.

In thanks to them, luz puts herself in danger to save hunter from belos, but hunter and flapjack were ultimately the ones who defeated him. In for the future, luz couldnt stave off kikimora on her own, so the students at hexside do it for her. In watching and dreaming, luz was killed by belos. In return, she was rewarded with the power to defeat him with almost none of her friends to help. She is still bearing most of the burden on her own, same as the start of the show.

#shut up pandora #the owl house #toh #luz noceda #watching and dreaming #does this make sense? #this is my main problem with the finale i dont think they truly tackled luzs deepest issue #the scene with the titan was fine but they should have had an emotional climax afterwards where another of luzs loved ones lays this out #imo anyway #i know luz eda and king are the main trio and therefore should get the most focus #but luz getting friends who understand her and care for her was a major part of her arc #shes not alone anymore. she has people to help #so why does her fight in the finale feel so lonely?

I really love the minute of quiet bird chirping in Paladin Strait. It's hopeful, it allows for reflection.

I find attempts to "prove" religious claims so desperately counterproductive.

Idk what anyone else says, the desire for proof is the death of faith.

Take the persistent flood myths for example.

If you just have faith in the Deluge, you will simply believe that the entire world was drowned and Noah was the savior of life as we know it (by the order of God).

It's simple, easy, and it serves it's ultimate purpose in the Christian narrative.

But if you start digging for proof you will start the noticing process and quickly realize that many of these ancient civilizations with flood myths were river delta dwellers, in places with yearly floods that every so often were extreme in nature, you will read geological history and find out about the Black Sea deluge hypothesis, etc etc etc and then regardless of what you end up believing in the end you will have introduced doubt that otherwise you never would have cultivated.

What's the point of all of that? Who does it serve? What common human motivation is driving it forward?

These are the questions to ask, and some of the possible answers are quite uncomfortable.
