just saw asteroid city last night, pls explain the proposed significance of the kiss!!

answering this publicly hope thats ok! cant do a readmore im on mobile *****asteroid city spoilers below beware*****

i dont remember anyones names so this is gonna sound partly unhinged. okay so the edward norton playwright and jason schwartzman actor (not character, in the black and white parts) are lovers right. tbh i thought this was kind of a gag and forgot about it. but later we find out that the playwright died 6 months into the production. i didnt make the connection that THAT’s why the actor-jason has to suddenly leave the stage and freaks out backstage about how he’s not sure he’s Doing it right. hes not talking about acting!! because he himself is literally grieving his lover while he’s playing a character who’s grieving his wife written by his lover so obviously it’s too much!!! actor-jason is trying to find meaning in his death through his writing but there isnt any meaning in death [gerris drinkwater voice] which is what the play is trying to say anyway. he doesnt think he’s performing grief right even in his own life!!! (and tbh it’s the 50s so he wouldnt be able to perform grief publicly anyway!!!!) the play starts with a car accident… anyone would search for some hidden meaning there, some sign…. so when he talks to margot robbie outside it’s not really about finding the CHARACTER’s motivations it’s about the actor himself being able to process the playwright’s death! and adrien brody director was probably also dealing with that too (him and norton seemed to be good buddies) so the whole “sleeping backstage” thing gets a bit sadder maybe? maybe everyone else got this in the theatre and im just stupid lol but crazy making stuff to me!!! the whole story is about sublimated gay grief that cannot be expressed?!?!

the tweet that caught me onto this was here which posits that the playwright’s death was a suicide but i think that’s pretty stupid and unnecessary because the whole thing about the play asteroid city is that death is random and meaningless. im pretty sure that’s what the alien represents— a shocking and absurd event that isnt outright evil or menacing, not something anyone can predict or make sense of, it’s just a thing that happens to you out of nowhere, it doesnt mean anything. he’s a little black figure, he’s death! giving and taking! aagh

#you’re the wife who played my actor :( #posthumus #asteroid city #imagine youre in love with a playwright and he writes a play before he even meets you about how you cant get over his death which hasnt #happened yet. id go insane too #im going to see it again to see how this informs the whole thing because its driving me crazy #rewatching the performances knowing that they're performing people performing. augh. #remember when bryan cranston accidentally appears in frame. rending my garments #also ‘you cant wake up until you fall asleep’ confused me a bit but then i remembered that the margot robbie scene was supposed to be put o #as a dream sequence and it makes sense now. thanks #aliens are the new fairytale monster symbol of death. the ultimate Unknowable #EDIT okay i read the wikipedia summary got some facts wrong adrien brody is sleeping in the theatre during rehearsals so its not because of #the playwright’s death he’s just like that.

ok upon reflection i think viserys is the character that's the most immediately gripping for me. first of all he LOOKS like he listens to dad rock so good job h&m department. he's woobifiable (the big stone king's landing(?) model he's carving..... we love a man with hobbies). most importantly he just committed the evilest thing that happened in the pilot. i can't wait for him to marry a teenager and then look pathetic and conflicted about it. what can i say i love a pervert with a victim mentality

#he's like. old posthumus. which is of course to say cym— #for legal reasons though i'm not in love with him i just think he's a good character #i dont really remember him having a personality in f&b but he's such an influential figure in the dance it adds a lot to give him depth #the fact that he really does NOT want to be in this story (which i think noah pointed out is the case for everyone) #like i doubt he's going to really acknowledge his own agency in marrying alicent.. he's like ho hum.. what choice do i have #which i think is such an interesting trait in a show/universe that's ostensibly about taking power by brute force #(i mean that's how got has been marketed not that that's really what's going on) #i dont think viserys wants to acknowledge he has power! daemon says he's weak but i think viserys WANTS to think he's weak #aemma's death was something that happened TO him not something he played a role in #(i guess she was going to die no matter what but he continued to try for an heir) #idk i love the flop boring targs they're so fun—viserys i and ii and jahaerys ii #jaehaerys i was like A Big Deal but he kinda counts by virtue of being a certified nice guy #anyway that's about all i can contribute to the discourse. love tha event love reading other people talk abt them #*RHAECENT not 'tha event' #hotd #my posts

Please god… at least let TMA 2 be a prequel about Agnes or Gertrude or Manuela we can better call saul this if we try hard enough

#tma is one of those things were I got more stupidly attached to the side and posthumus characters as more time goes by

Day 049/365: Your favorite TV show theme song

You expected a cartoon, didn't you? Maybe even an anime. All strong contenders, but, ES Posthumus are in another league, and Cold Case is a nostalgic show for me.
