'Escape to Victory' (1981)

The following does contain a spoiler or two...

So, in the tags of my last post, I mentioned that when things are tough I often watch 'Escape to Victory' (just called 'Victory' on US release). This film imagines what would happen if a 'ragtag bunch of prisoners of war' - a bunch that just happens to include Pelé, Bobby Moore, Ossie Ardiles, John Wark, Co Prins and others - played a display match against a German national team during WWII and used this as cover to escape with the help of the French Resistance. It's just such a daft feelgood film (you've got HOW MANY ex-pro footballers in the same PoW camp???) and it has got me through some tough times.

Something to laugh at in the trailer that I've shared here is the line, 'and introducing Pelé' - erm, I think pretty much anyone who hadn't been on Mars since the 1958 World Cup had heard of Pelé by 1981..!

Pelé also choreographed the football in the film, so unsurprisingly there are some beautiful moves to look out for.

the line between ten's senses of selfishness and selflessness is very very thin because they both primarily stem from his sense of love (the thing he was born out of and the thing he lives and dies for). btw.

#not to make it about time lord victorious again but like #he is so sick of losing people (i can still save these people that need my help)#and he is so sick of losing people (i cannot bear the heartbreak for any longer and if i break history to alleviate myself of it so be it)#ten is suuch a little freak he is so wretched tragic protagonist in the body of a funny whimsy dude #experiencing heart rending loneliness that he bounces from wanting to escape from and wanting to cling to bc its all he has #this dichotomy is so important to me. he has a sense of love and grief so befitting a human but so unbefitting for a #near immortal alien destined to bring harm and destruction wherever they go.#thesis statement. hes . fuckin.. uh. trans and aroace for this one lol if you get it you get it ig #tenth doctor #dr who #my brain is melting over this LOSER why did david tennatn have to do all of that #10 era

Nao AU + Escaping Gravity = Shimura Ochako!

Simple victory + Escaping Gravity = The One for All holder continues to confuse her.

Maybe I'm Perfect + Escaping Gravity = The One for All holder continues to scare her.

Squad Swap + Escaping Gravity = On second though, maybe it would be good idea to keep distance from the kid with the quirk made to end bloodline she is unfortunately part of.

Superheroes + Escaping Gravity = The second and third holders got two for one deal when cracking that vault.

Mighty Vigilante + Escaping Gravity = Clear runaway child showcasing multible quirks just to steal some food. Just another day in the life of Yagi Toshinori

Nao AU x Escaping Gravity: Correct

Simple Victory x Escaping Gravity: I feel like this is what she'd expect to happen, honestly

Maybe I'm Perfect x Escaping Gravity: now this would be unexpected for her

Squad Swap x Escaping Gravity: That's one way to do it

Superheroes x Escaping Gravity: That'll cause some interesting ripples

Mighty Vigilante x Escaping Gravity: Happens all the time

#asks #escaping gravity au #nao au #simple victory au #maybe i'm perfect au #squad swap au #superheroes au #mighty vigilante au

Every now and again I'm reminded of how fundamentally different ttrpg liveplays are as a storytelling medium from literally any other and it drives me a little bit bonkers. So much comes down to chance; you can plan and strategize and have some absolutely wild modifiers, but if you roll a nat 1 you still roll a nat 1. It doesn’t matter how important a character is to the narrative and how many plans the players have for them, they can still die at any time and be inevitably lost because the dice told you, sorry, resurrection didn’t work this time. And then we build the narrative around that, an echoing hole that can never be mended, because we have no other choice but to move one.

You never know if a risky choice will be rewarded or punished. You can go into what looks like an easy fight and lose bitterly due to bad luck, or into what should be an impossible one and still win. You will never be reassured by the knowledge that it’s a prewritten, planned out story where some things are bound to happen for maximum narrative impact.

But neither will moments feel cheapened by the knowledge that it was always bound to happen. A character comes back to life in a movie and, well, you know it’s because the narrative needed them and they were never truly at risk; they come back in the game and you know just how easily the dice could have landed on a different number and it wouldn’t have mattered how needed they were.

It can, if we allow it, remind us that purpose and meaning in real life has nothing to do with inevitability or fate; it’s all about what we make it, the choices that arise out of chance, the consequences that come from choice. We create our own narrative out of inherent meaninglessness and chaos and it is beautiful.

#every time the critical role fandom loses it bc someone decides a fight was unfair I'm reminded of all those incredibly narrow survivals #remember when nott survived that blue dragon with 1 HP?#when they only escaped their first lucien fight bc his anti magic cone missed them with the narrowest of margins?#not to mention ashton's recent absolutely wild survival #when everyone told robbie to have his character run at then end of candela obscura chapter 1 bc everyone else was down #and victory seemed impossible - but he didn't and it save them all #or let us not forget the absolutely WILD molly/kingsley resurrection #not victory feels unearned but that would not be true if the stakes weren’t real #we need the occasional iron shepherd or otohan fight that downs the entire party #and before anyone tries to tell me YES i do know ttrpgs also have prewritten and planned elements i do have basic media awareness #it's that intersection of narrative choice and chance that creates absolute gold on occasion #nella talks

Lucifer->Chuck & Sam->John is driving me insane it’s. You’re his favorite, which means you must have earned it, means you’ve done something right and he considers you an equal because you see how he treats your brother, a soldier, a tool. And equals get equal say, don’t they? Get a choice in where you go next. So, Lucifer invents disobedience because no one ever tried to argue with God before, and Sam invents disobedience because John never considered it could happen.

You try and try and try, look up at your father as he casts you out and tell him “I won’t become you.” Cage or college, in the end, Dad’s not even got to be there to drag you back into the fight. He can send his soldier to fetch you instead, and a couple protesting words from you does not a rebellion make. Lucifer learns how to make beings who will worship the ground he walks on, and better, learns how to discard them. Sam learns how to leave everything behind to hunt, and better, how to leave all of himself behind, too, in a revenge quest for someone who didn’t ask for it. “I won’t become you.” There’s the problem, you already were.

#like. Chuck is the younger sibling in the cycle. Lucifer & Sam are meant to be him.#I can hold two conflicting headcanons in my head: Lucifer loses scenario and Lucifer always wins scenario #and the latter is like. that’s what Chuck wants. that’s what he always wants. he wants his underdog to win.#he wants to see himself win. because if he watches it happen enough times. it’ll feel like victory rather than betrayal.#but yeah fuck okay just. the fact that Sam & Lucifer are closer to BEING like their fathers #Michael & Dean do what their fathers wanted. they obey. they wear duty well. but they aren’t their fathers they just aren’t they can’t be #but Lucifer & Sam. it’s already there.#no escaping becoming your parents I guess.#idk I’m being rambly again. daddy issues and all.#spn #lucifer spn #sam winchester #chuck shurley #john winchester
