I Am Unwell About This

#prebetrayal #ford #idk what to tag this as actually #godsrambles #me half the time: this is so sad. I am in agony #me the other half the time: what you mean by 'i am always eager and ready' ford. is 'rare insights' what we're calling it nowadays #religious themes #him calling bill showing up in his life a miracle. calling it divine inspiration. did bill himself use the phrasing 'divine knowledge' #he at least called himself a Muse and ford capitalizes the word Muse!!!

Succession | S02E06

#Roman Roy #Gerri Kellman #Do you see the beautiful golden halo across the room from his right hand? That's her. His beacon. #The utter trust when he glances at her at the end of the first gif to see whether he should agree. And all she has to do #is give the minutest shake of her head and he's ready to go to war. #Roman who is unbelievably easily cowed by Logan finds the courage to argue ARGUE against Logan because she shook her head. #I mean right after she shakes her head he schools his expression to look like this was ABSOLUTELY his firm opinion DUH of COURSE. #The faith and trust is insane even though it's absolutely warranted. She IS Gerri Kellman after all. Still. Whoa. #The beautiful vulnerability in his fleeting glance at her in the third gif. Checking what she thinks of his performance. #Glancing at her to summon the courage to KEEP defending his opinion against Logan's. AGAINST Logan's! #It's a miracle that glaringly blindingly beautifully visible invisible thread didn't snap and slam them into each other's arms. #The smartest kid. The absolute smartest out of them all. The one with the most potential. It explains the bullshit comment in the finale. #Sigh. I love them so much. All of them. Every single person even the couple of characters I can't stand! #But Roman and Gerri... Sigh. No words. No words! #Succession #my gifs

Chapter 17 of Scaling the Walls of a Mystery is out!

In which Euden decides to go big and not leave home, wherein 'home' indicates his room, and the rest of the family is Suffering now right alongside him. They also fail Hostage Negotiation 101!

Exert from chapter (~9k out of ~198k):

Leonidas all but growled. “Cease this childishness at once. This is a losing situation for you. You have no recourse to flee. You have no resources. Need be, we can simply wait for you to fall asleep and strike then.” Oh. That… might work? Euden didn’t sound all that broken up. “Then I guess I’ll just have to stay awake, then. I’ll inform you that I’m a light sleeper and used to long nights, though, and even if you did catch me unawares, nothing would stop me from shapeshifting upon waking. Keep that in mind if I ever wake in a different location.”  “We can only try to convince him to come out,” Phares said quietly, face grim as he vocalized the conclusion they all were headed for, before he continued in an exasperated tone, “Euden, please. Is this what you really want to do? Starve and dehydrate yourself, stay awake for hours on end, for what? What do you hope to gain by doing this?”

And, just because it's funny and fitting, I'm bringing these things my friend made back:

#scaling the walls of a mystery #character analysis #dragalia lost fic #my writing #apparently 'not quite ready to publish' for me means less than a day after my last little teaser! #The miracles of motivation. Anyways I do hope you enjoy! #As always feel free to ask questions if you're curious on a particular aspect/characterization/etc that I didn't address in notes! #Do I think too much about this? Probably. Do I want to stop? No. #fanfic

Good omens season 2 mini meta

alright good omens I’m not done ranting about the second season yet BECAUSE (spoilers under cut)

There’s a few things that I can’t stop thinking about:

1. Crowley was his happiest this season in heaven

Did anyone see how giggly Crowley is in heaven? He’s smiling, chuckling and jumping around and snorting with Muriel, and then again with Saraqael, and then again when going down the lift. 

And I know it isn’t heaven specifically that’s making him giggle: it’s doing something mischievous (just like how he laughs when Aziraphale tells him about the halo thing) but isn’t it ironic? That this is the happiest we see him in the present time, and it’s when he’s snuck into heaven? It’s not heaven itself that makes him happy, but regardless, in this season we see him giggling and in a good mood the longest when he’s in heaven. 

2. Aziraphale’s Halo

This is something my sister pointed out, and I don’t want to give more attention to it partly because I don’t want to believe it. But if we think about foreshadowing in this season, Aziraphale literally takes off his halo and throws it down. I know it’s something angels do during war, and the halo is more of a weapon than a symbol. but still, could it be foreshadowing? The immediate worry that he could have caused a war, and how pleased Crowley was by that. If it is alluding to something in the next season, it’s either Aziraphale falling (I hate that idea) OR Aziraphale declaring war, rejecting both heaven and hell as well as his status as an angel. 

3. Aziraphale pulls Crowley in for the kiss

I am SICK of no one talking about this (jk). but right on minute 47:00 of episode 6, right before the camera shifts again, Aziraphales hands hover before getting closer to Crowleys back, and then their bodies shift closer together as if by force. I FULLY believe Aziraphale used his hands to pull Crowley in closer before pulling them away in the next shot after realizing what he did. 

I’ve rewatched those few seconds so many times that no one can convince me thats not what happened. 

4. Aziraphale has been wooing Crowley this entire season

Crowley only realized he was in love with Aziraphale in the final episodes. 

I think Aziraphale has known since the start. 

He’s been establishing intimacy with Crowley this entire season. For example, why ask to borrow his Bentley now? Like Crowley says, he likes taking the train. And instead of just asking to borrow it, why say that it’s “our” car? Why imply that it’s their bookshop?

He was constantly pushing Crowleys limits to see how far he can get, from the apology dance to borrowing his car and then asking them to dance together. 

And Crowley lets him. He does the dance, he lets him use the car (though he’s not happy about it), and he dances with him even though he says he doesn’t dance. Aziraphale has been establishing an “us” from the beginning, and Crowley let’s him, mostly. 

Crowley lets him borrow the car, but doesn’t allow Aziraphale any liberties with it. Crowley takes care of his bookshop, and doesn’t sell any of the books. but he also immediately takes his plants out of the bookshop before Aziraphale even has a chance to step inside. I’m sure he’s uncomfortable with Gabriel there, but this is also him asserting his independence, saying no to an “us” implicitly. 

5. The ball

“Why were we all dancing?”

“I thought it might make you realize that [Maggie] loved you, and then you’d fall in love with her”

This might be a bit of a stretch, but HEAR ME OUT. What if, what IF, this is what Aziraphale was trying to do but with himself and Crowley?

Think: his ‘wait and see’, keeping the ball a surprise and shooing Crowley out of the shop while he sets up. His weird insistence on creating a perfect atmosphere at the expense of ignoring any and all dangers outside, which he knows can’t enter the bookshop anyways. Crowley is panicking, while Aziraphale literally manufactured a romantic setting and then dragged Crowley to dance with him, excited and giggling. If there weren’t demons outside the bookshop (which Aziraphale didn’t know about yet and was desperately trying to ignore any distractions), and Crowley wasn’t busy panicking, how would that scene have gone differently? 

Aziraphale was trying to establish an ‘us’ this whole time, and in the end Crowley was too. But their timing was tragically off. 

(6. More in the tags about the metatron btw.)

Honestly? Did I want more from DTAMHD? Yes, I did. I wanted something signifying actual progression for Dennis' character (even just a crumb of genuine growth) , and I sincerely don't think we got that. However... we did get a fascinating insight into the process of his mind. Dennis' level of self-denial is so ironic and profound. He can't acknowledge the inevitability that he's middle-aged.

(I swear this episode honestly has given me an alt hc, that the show is based in his mind; because logistically, a man of his lifestyle and malnourishment could not commit the feats he is constantly sailing through. TGGB & DTAMHD... back-to-back? What happened to his hand? Did he even sprain it? Or is he just the most dramatic brat in the gang - clearly the latter.)

It is important to note that he didn’t fix the actual problem. He momentarily masked the symptoms, but ignore long-term help with blood pressure medicine is not going to fix the issue, nor is it going to protect him from fucking keeling over in a stressful situation (when he's not in a contained and quiet Doctor's exam room) and his blood pressure spikes.

I'm honestly a little jaded at this point (16 Fucking Seasons of crumbs, y'all), but if one were to continue 'trusting the structure' this episode conveyed a lot.

The B Plot: The pressure cooker. The metaphor parallels the building pressure Dennis quick-tempered bouts of rage. So, to toss out a little 'cat-in-the-wall' conjecture here: The pressure cooker is Dennis, but we all saw him eat that bloody diamond in the end and we all heard Mac's speech about coal turning into diamonds under massive pressure. Dennis' experience is a theory of pressure, he daydreams it all in the span of a minute or so. He's roleplaying with hypothetical obstacles. There's no risk. Maybe Dennis, isn't the pressure cooker, but the coal.

If I were to try and take anything hopeful out of this episode, it would be the way the narrative is showing us that this episode acknowledged that Dennis isn't ready yet. It's not his turn to break. It's going to take real, substantial pressure to get that diamond.

It was a hell of a misdirect (and honestly a little bit of a slap in the face), but if these characters live in the real world, where people are bound by the laws of mortality, then Dennis should have his time.

Genuinely, who fucking knows?

I'm not hating on the episode. We all know this is the trashy dick joke sitcom. I just thought that if Mac & Charlie could have moments of genuine heartbreak, culminating in deep catharsis, that maybe Dennis could have that too.... but no.

Can't wait to see the sunny dudebros miss the point & proclaim Dennis Reynolds - SA victim, traumatized individual with an emotionally tumultuous personality disorder - the new Andrew Tate.

I'm sorry, but yeah. I'm a little miffed. It was all a dream, and everything goes Dennis' way. Y'all I'm fucking tired. This was a great episode for Glenn, but a fucking frustrating episode for Dennis. I may have wanted a little macden, but all I cared about was seeing Dennis face the limitations of his mortality, to see that he's failing his body and his brain. He didn't have to actually take the medicine (I wouldn't expect him to), but Goddammit, everything seems to work out in his delusional favor. So, of course he's going to continue being delusional, and probably only change for the worse.

I'll say it: I wanted a broken Dennis, and we did not get that. He didn't even crack, the unbearble and apparently now canonical Golden God. That episode's title was intended to tease sunnyblr.

Excuse the plethora of tags. I just kept getting more irritated.

#what i take from the episode is further insight to the lengths of Dennis' repression which adds to my fic #iasip s16 #i will say this: i can't dislike this episode solely because of how phenomenal glennjamin's performance was. #I'd say I'm retracting the title of macden 'truther'. I'm still a stan. but this ep made me realize dennis is too coddled by the narrative #with TGGB he's constantly winning. even the game he doesn't stay to watch the end of. his body performing near miracles. wtf #the real reason I'm seriously bothered is the sunny dudebros. they already idolize dennis #this ep has only made it worse because the obvious point of Dennis' actual delusions will go right over their heads. #anybody with a grounded sense of reality can tell you that dennis did not solve a problem #he dreamt up a scenario in some kind of toxic meditation session. he's getting older. and his denial is metastasizing #Dennis' denial isn't sustainable. I'm kind of cutting off my investment in that regard. he's a fucking mess & he's currently being idolized #dennis reynolds #definitely not my favorite episode. not bc of lack of macden. a little bc Den needs limitations. mainly bc 'it was all a dream' is cheap #ranting.excuse me for wanting 1 of my fave characts actually have his poor health.self-destructive coping mechanism/trauma acknowledged #can't believe i was actually afraid i wouldn't be able to write because too much might happen in DTAMHD...! 🤣 #it should've all happened. but instead ended w/him getting charges pressed when he tried to break into ceo's home #ngl. this one hurt. I'm ready for Mac to give up on Dennis. i just wish this fucking show would let him. #excuse me while i go bawl like a baby watching MFHP. because I'm heartbroken that Dennis' BPD makes him push Mac away. #let's just say that realization has been bogging me down in my personal life the last couple of days. & this bummed me out. #Robert McElhenney. I'm outside the studio screaming at you to just let Mac move on & actually meet someone! #I'm not saying he deserves a relationship. but fuck... after 40 yrs of repression can he at least have a fling & fall out of love w/Den? #Dennis won't ever let him meet someone. & he'll never treat Mac like he actually cares about him.bc his own vulnerability terrifies him.😭

This connection is supposed to be symmetrical.

#ineffablefool original post #not good omens #it's been like this for over a day now and customer support has no ETAs no explanation #although if you keep escalating up their chain then you'll keep getting completely different mutually contradictory details! #pretty cool how they're one of exactly two options for broadband in this very much not rural area #and the other option is the one where we tried to switch to them once but their installer guy was 100% incompetent #and responded to our saying 'do not go in this one room' by going 'nah it's fine' and strolling on in there anyway #(he left the room eventually but it was definitely not until he was good and ready) #(imagine letting a service person into your house and then they decide to wander around in an off-limits room for a couple minutes #while you are standing there insisting firmly that they Do Not #it is *so awkward* #and what do you do like?? call the cops??? dude will just leave the room before they show up and then you look like a weirdo) #he also promised to not knock an access hole in a specific area of wall but then when he got outside he just went ahead and did it anyway #and just left it there for us to find when we went outside after he'd gone #i seldom hope people get fired but gosh i hope that at some point he got fired #ANYWAY i guess what i'm saying is that i would like a pretty angel to give me hot chocolate + listen to my woes + miracle them all better #but who doesn't amirite?

i have a lot of petty things to say about the ghosts finale and fandom rn but i will be respectful i will be respectful i will not be rude about other peoples' emotional responses i will be respectful

#as someone who lived through torchwood: miracle day #ghosts had a pretty good finale #the only thing i didn't really like was kitty being jealous and then ignored in that jealousy but tbh #even that made a sort of sense a la you stays how you dies and a baby in theory is not a baby in practice #like rating for this episode 7.5/10 #not their best but also not their worst and it made narrative sense imo #ready for the bloopers @the six idiots #also i think it's worth noting #they only had a half hour #there's only so much you can do with that

Unfortunately I am continuing to think about Them

#this morning's meditations are on how unfortunate the trapper complex rly is because if you'd been able to just #slide this fresh-out-of-residency sponge in between a hyperfocused miracle maker and an older and experienced thoracic specialist #and leave them alone for a while like i think beej would've been so vividly excited by to soak up everything there was to learn #like beej literally was still in training mode brain like if anyone was gonna be ready to drown in new knowledge and methods it was him #i also have a lot of very amused thoughts about how beej literally left residency came into a war and assumed he was the best #probably primarily FROM how much he soaked up from how hawk kept cheating death at every angle #like i keep thinking about that clip about beej INSISTING he's just as good at being the best as hawk is and i'm like #YOU LITERALLY WENT STRAIGHT FROM YOUR LAST YEAR OF TRAINING DIRECTLY INTO A WAR #and i know part of that is just being top 10 in your class in every situation and being quite bright and privileged besides #but i just look forward for an opportunity in stae post-war to lock beej and trap in a procedure together in a hospital #and really let beej be forced to see how much there really is to respect in how trap deals with his craft #ps if you read this far i'm sorry about how much worse i'm going to make the trapper complex in the update tomorrow i love you #my ramblings
