#I have to rewatch s1

[lvndrlondonfog]

HELLO ARTIST

SO YOU WANT ASKS, HM

I have one. You like Hozier, yes? One of my favourite songs is Nina cried Power. It's not the most obvious GO-coded song, so this is a little challenge. But what if you listened to it, and then just drew? Drew whatever GO inspiration hit you while you listened to it. I would LOVE to learn how your brain processes that song.

All the love!

Overall, I got very S1 Finale vibes from it, something something facing what’s ahead, even if you’re afraid. I might not finish it, but all I could think of was when they faced down the antichrist holding hands with Adam, and all I could else I could think of in that moment

Do you think what makes a Loki a Loki is the fact that we're destined to lose?

Ah yes, Milkvan and my other fav romantic dynamic Dustin and *looks at smudged handwriting* Dart?

Giant E.T. figurine by Dart's cage vs. Mike dressing up El like in E.T.

And this is not to dehumanize El, like obviously the entire point of El's arc throughout the entire show is about breaking out of the dynamics that she is put into where she doesn't have agency. But if we compare S1 and S2, we can see that the writers have created this sort of meta situation with the audience becoming a part of Lucas and Dustin's projection of romance onto Mike and El's dynamic—a dynamic that the writers are very much poking fun of in S2 by recreating a bunch of the scenes with Dustin and Dart at the focus.

#season two rewatch is something #also I know a bunch of these have been pointed out I just fell down a wormhole of neverending parallels and needed to talk about it haha #there was even more but I was about to run out of room lmao #anti milkvan #byler #mike wheeler #st s2 #st s1

the scene where klaus sees hazel and cha-cha’s victims while he’s being held captive by them in s1 was so fucking cool and it’s honestly a crime that they never did anything like that in the following seasons

#the umbrella academy #tua #klaus hargreeves #s1 rewatch #i know it was a popular fic concept for klaus to see five's victims bc ya know he also was a commission assassin #and that would have been really cool but they kind of just dropped that concept 😔

that scene in season 1 where teruki hanazawa exorcises ekubo mid-sentence... and shigeo's eyes widen in shock?

i really want to talk about it, specifically the explosion meter accompanying it.

normally, when the teenager's emotions aren't obvious to the audience, that meter relays to us a sense of what he is actually feeling. but we cannot trust the meter here. we see it jump up a few points at teru's 'psycho wave' sending the sleazy ghost to the shadow realms, and remain steady at 50% upon shigeo's recollections of the spirit's unsavory nature. the boy outright tells teru that he isn't bothered. and it's funny!

but shigeo isn't being honest with himself here either.

his face briefly gives his feelings away before resettling into its normal flat affect. (to be fair, what he's really feeling isn't teru's business. this kid is trying to provoke a fight out of him, after all.) after he's basically tortured into exploding, shigeo spends three hours in the pouring rain, searching everywhere for ekubo.

three. hours.

these are not the actions of someone who isn't bothered. letting himself get drenched to the point of sickness,

even though he literally holds the power to shield himself from it,

reads to me like unconscious self-punishment for allowing all this to happen.

after a large chunk of his short life spent denying and fearing them for good reason, shigeo's first impulse is often not to use his psychic powers -- even after his integration at the story's end. i wish this was discussed more, because many watchers cannot fathom why this boy with world-breaking psychic abilities would ever refuse to use them.

also: the explosion meter lying to us / representing shigeo's detachment from his own emotions alexithymia may occur elsewhere in the series as well, especially when he's not close to an explosion; i'm reminded of the tiny dent ritsu's provocation of him makes in it a few episodes later.

#mob psycho 100 #mp100 #mp100 meta #alexithymia #unreliable narrator #self blame #self flagellation #mp100 s1 rewatch #trauma #tw death mention #this boy often does not think to use the power he has #it's something i wish was talked about more #there are good reasons why #he won't use his powers to solve his problems #even when they actually can and he probably should #because they're capable of doing and have done real fucking damage #life on hard mode on purpose? #i think he'd be even less comfortable using them after outwardly fighting with himself #at least for some time afterwards #this should be another post #700 #kageyama shigeo #分析

he's just taking pity on the commoner that forgot her gloves ok 🤭

Lu Guang is a hypocrite and that’s okay (great even)

I must stand ten toes for this man because I’m noticing the slander that went on in September and I cannot allow it. I know I’m six months late but just bear with me. We are introduced to Lu Guang as a rational, stoic, sort of wise protagonist. The brains of the operation if you will (although Cheng is clever in his own right but that’s a whole other discussion). Qiao Ling and Captain Xiao describe him as more mature. Shiguang’s relationship is strong but it’s structured, especially for their work, to where Cheng has to depend on Lu Guang. Should only do as he says and not do anything impulsive.

And it gets to a point where Cheng doesn’t know what to do without him and when LG isn’t there he relies on his past words to guide him. The thing is, we’ve seen that CXS can come up with great plans and make good decisions without Lu Guang’s voice in his head. Like how he caught Min Liu or planning how save Lu Guang from Li Tianchen. But the story has built LG up so much to be a reliable character so it can’t be untrue. But then the s2 finale happens, Cheng gets shot and Lu Guang loses his mind.

And then the ending basically tells you that he’s been winging it and gambling this whole time. Experimenting with god knows how many timelines, simply using his knowledge from the previous one to see if he’ll get lucky this time. Lu Guang has been playing a crane game. So in a story that is all about mistakes, guilt and regrets. Of showing the imperfections of people. Of showing the struggles of moving forward, of being satisfied with the present. Of sacrificing your sanity, your voice, your desires, and happiness for the people you love. How is this bad writing?

Link click has been tricking the audience to believe Lu Guang is an infallible character.

But Link Click was never about perfect people.

What he’s trying to do is no different from Li Tianchen, one of our antagonists. And I love CXS to fucking pieces but this show raises the question of a life’s value. LG is trying to save Cheng and so refuses to change the past for anyone else. Bc it may alter things and doom CXS in the process and ruin all he’s worked towards. But then you ask yourself, is CXS’s life worth more than the twins' mother? Is it worth more than Chen’s mother? Is it worth more than Emma?

It doesn’t matter because it is to Lu Guang. It’s like the question if your sibling and a mailman are trapped in a burning building but you can only try to save one. Unless they’re the absolute scum of the earth, chances are and possibly even despite that, you’re going to pick your sibling. That don’t mean it’s objectively more valuable than the mailman or you didn’t have sympathy for that person, they have loved ones, hopes and joys too. “Lu Guang is a hypocrite, selfish, unreliable, and a liar” yes he is. Because there is something called ‘flawed characters’. It’s okay for your protagonist to not be the best person. It’s okay to write a protagonist whose trauma has defined some of their actions.

If you’ve been forced to have someone you love die in your arms over and over, why is it surprising that you would lie to them? How is it surprising that you’d try to keep secrets? That you’d set things up to be in a position to control the situation? That’ll force you to plan better so maybe, just maybe things will be different? You think Lu Guang lacks self awareness and doesn’t know what this makes him? Of all things you can call LG, he’s not delusional. He knows the weight of his actions.

Link Click has and always will be a story about people. Where our emotions and choices take us. Lu Guang isn’t a robot so why would he be an exception?

Plus everyone should’ve been knew Lu Guang was sus anyway. Idk how that’s mischaracterization, there’s proof of him lying and keeping secrets from CXS in s1. It doesn’t ruin anything it recontextualizes what we were shown back then.

the music in WOT is never random. even if it's just very soft background music, it's relevant to the scene. practically every time there's music playing while egwene is onscreen during s2, the tune is egwene's theme, rearranged and reinstrumentated in dozens of different ways to match the tone of the particular scene. mat has quick little snippets of his theme tune play during various scenes of his, often mixed with the old blood theme from s1, and it finally blares out in full glory for the first time during the horn of valere scene, to parallel how mat is truly finding himself for the first time. even secondary characters like liandrin, siuan, and aviendha have their own dedicated theme tunes that play during their scenes and are never repurposed as background music in other characters' scenes. and all the themes have lyrics in the old tongue that suit the character or concept the theme is about! in conclusion, lorne balfe is truly doing the Most, and i'm so grateful he's the composer for WOT and i hope he'll return for every season the show goes for.

#it's such a joy to rewatch the show after studying the soundtrack and listening to it a million times! #sometimes i would forget to listen to the dialogue because i was too excited about trying to identify the faint background tune #wot #wot on prime #the wheel of time #fingers crossed lorne will be able to do it for all seasons bc keeping the same composer really is so integral for a show imo #especially one like WOT that established such a unique sound landscape in the early seasons #genuinely a major reason why the witcher s2 was such a step down from s1 for me (i haven't watched any seasons since 2) #is bc they changed composers and the cool slavic folk/metal vibe of s1 was replaced by generic fantasy orchestra in s2 #it took so much life and feeling out of the show! you might not think soundtrack could have such an impact but it truly does!

thw first time you ever see the "powerful homoeroticism i really enjoyed it" screencap and you think What on earth could this have been said in response to. and then you watch taskmaster and you discover 1) its about romesh ranganathan trying to make a swedish man blush by flirting with him and 2) the homoeroticism only gets more powerful from here

#gemitus #i did have to rewatch this task to remember whether it was romesh or tim but honestly it just amde #me want ro rewatch s1 the King in full #taskmaster

my biggest pet peeve about the boys fandom discourse is everyone is very quick to point out how vought is an amalgamation of amazon and disney and every megacorp in one, but whenever it comes to this show's resolution (specifically regarding homelander), that awareness flies out the window and i'm forced to endure one take after another celebrating homelander's inevitable death because it will be a happy ending and fix every problem. discounting that this is a very emotionally motivated and punitive view of justice (would depowering him not be sufficient to keep him from harming others?) i feel like the show has gone to great lengths to spell out that homelander is a product of his environment... just another victim of vought's exploitation and callous disregard for human life.

this applies to other supes as well. annie's mom says outright that annie was injected with compound v in exchange for their hospital bills being covered, a-train didn't have a stable home life based on his account from s1 and it's likely a similar arrangement was worked out there, and iirc some vought promotional snippet mentioned that supersonic signed on to a supe team after vought paid for his rehab. after preying on vulnerable kids and families, vought flings them headfirst into missions even though they're not properly equipped to exercise their abilities and someone is accidentally killed (we've seen this happen with homelander, a-train, and crimson countess, to name a few). new supes realize the heroes they've idolized their whole lives are completely uncaring in the face of this violence. and even though substance use is widespread among supes, there don't seem to be any constructive efforts made to curb it because it succeeds in dulling any moral qualms they might have about vought's culture of casual violence (a-train is the only exception but that's because his substance use begins to impede his speed, thereby impacting the bottom line). and at the end of the day, all their transgressions are covered up by vought, which opens the door to all sorts of legal and psychological debts.

and anyone can preach about strength of character, but we know maeve suffered from this slow moral deterioration, and we were seeing it take place in real time with annie in season 1 (only maeve and hughie's interference stopped it). their best intentions did not matter! homelander is no different, except that his conditioning was far more severe (and admittedly he was less hesitant to abandon any notions of doing good when his status was threatened, but that's not at all surprising when you consider his upbringing).

the point is that vought enables and encourages supes to abuse regular people. that problem has never been exclusive to homelander. homelander is trying to subsume vought but it is an institution that existed before him and will persist after him. i guess it's not a surprise that so many people peddle homelander as the "real villain" considering we mostly experience events in the boys' pov but it does make most conversations about this show's endgame insufferable. god bless

#like the posts i saw while s3 was airing... some of u have lost the plot sorry #and tbf the show has gotten a lot shallower in its depiction of supes as it's gone on #anyway im rewatching s1 and having a lot of fun #homelander #the seven #the boys
