What's it all about, Malfi?

What’s it all about, Malfi?

THE DUCHESS OF MALFI Crescent Theatre, Birmingham, Saturday 12th November, 2022 John Webster’s revenge tragedy, first produced in 1614, comes to the Ron Barber studio in this elegant, abbreviated version, directed by Andrew Cowie.  A cast of nine hurtle through the action and, for the most part, handle the text well – especially when the characters are being angry or insane or both. In the…

I think the reason that Jonmartin works so well as a romantic subplot is because in his heart of hearts Jon is an Austenian main male love interest that falls for the poor poet and probably spends too much time thinking about the intimacy of hand holding and Martin is aware that he's in a horror but DESPERATELY trying to change his genre to romcom as much as he can. They're perfect for each other.

#tma #martin blackwood #jon sims #jonmartin #imo this is why tim couldve never been in a romantic subplot. first season tim pretends hes in an office comedy #but fundamentally he knows and continues to chose to be in a revenge tragedy

im rlly hoping that . the recent return of blurryface era themes . means the next album is gonna sound sorta like blurryface

imo blurryface as a whole kinda gets Overlooked ? a lot of attention is placed on the fact tht its The album . its The pilots album … a lot of the less popular songs r overshadowed by stressed out and ride and tear in my heart

and like not that thats a Bad thing . all 3 are great songs . But . i think it gives off a false impression of the album … the songs r supposed to represent the bishops ,, who r quite literally the Most fucked up guys . it Should be a little bit scary . and i hope the next album sorta conveys tht better

i neeed the next album to sound dark and disgusting dude i NEED it to be heavy and menacing . i need it to sound like ritual music like polarize and message man . i need it to be aggressive like heavydirtysoul and lane boy . i need it to be absolutely tragic like goner . i need another joshler love song like wdbwotv . tyler joseph please do my wife ( blurryface ( album ) ) justice

#🎤 #im actually so hopeful #i think that aggression would fit so well #with the themes of destruction #and the Tragedy of the album #like #someones gonna die #i know someones gonna die #and it needs to be angry #it needs to sound like revenge #please #twenty one pilots #twenty øne piløts #tøp #blurryface

“The man he faced was everything Obi-Wan had devoted his life to destroying: Murderer. Traitor. Fallen Jedi. Lord of the Sith. And here, and now, despite it all.

Obi-Wan still loved him.”

the poetics of sp's involvement in 1863rd is just ... there's no words to capture the how retrospectively tragic it is. sp is the oldest being in the story. his tragedy has stopped being told but the story was still continuing off the page, years and years and even more unending years of being trapped without resolution, blocked behind the wall. he wants to die but cannot.

hsy's plan was to make 1863 yjh sleep forever. while it is not true death obviously, it will have been the closest to death any yjh has ever gotten (besides 0th who still turned away from it). not death, not regression, but sleep. it is only the domain of the dreams that will let him escape the cruel reality of his unreality and the silent god who will continue to watch over him forever so long as it was this man, yjh.

an important recurring symbol/motif in orv is dreams and there are several important themes linked to dreams i want to discuss.

first one is pretty obvious: dreams as escapism, as a way to desperately wish for a better life, wanting desperately to be saved from a ruined world. ala 1863rd yjh's wish for death and the oldest dream's wish for the characters to become real, to save him. as such, dreams represent a desperate plea for salvation.

and this might be a reach but i would still like to argue that it is the character's belief of their own hopelessness that lead to dreams but also perpetuates an unending cycle. wanting to be saved but also not being able to believe that you're worthy of being saved, that nothing / no one would / should save you. this duality is what leads me to the second theme: in their endless cycle being trapped and neither dead nor living, dreams are but another form of regression.

kdj becomes the oldest dream, the willing lonely god who could only ever dream of everyone's happiness but his own. he had seperated himself from ever reaching out and watching 1864th worldline where all his loved ones are and where he knows he would have been tempted to return. so symbolically, he interferes with 0th yjh and, as his stardusts falls away, he watches all the regressions and yjh. always yjh. his dream. in the end, the train that traps him is himself.

but a final point i want to touch on is this:

it is only when they get off the train and reach their epilogue, does sp finally achieve liberation, does the oldest dream finally end (become free). the dream has ended and into the waking cruel world, they become characters no longer having found each other at last. this was sp's ■■. and that's what i meant by the poetics of it all. the happiest, gentlest of epilogues: the ending of the oldest dream.

#spod #joongdok #orv spoiler #orv analysis #long post #shit #fuck #this wasnt supposed to that long #i just wanted to talk about how sp and od's tragedy are both directly related to how they are equally trapped in a cycle #and how their happy ending is finding each other #and how beautiful it is that breaking the dream / regression / cycle isnt death or revenge #its the end of a dream #because the dream came true #and that is sp's true liberation

kazuma asougi is the main character in a revenge tragedy but dgs is not a revenge tragedy which is why kazuma is not the main character but it is why i am obsessed with him. anyways

*takes a deep breath and leans in so close that my lips touch the microphone*

the tragedy of dick and jason’s relationship as brothers is not that they hated each other and then jason died, or that they were super close and then jason died. the tragedy is that dick did not know enough about jason to know how to mourn him. were they brothers? were they rivals? dick sure doesn’t know, and jason doesn’t either! but it’s fine bc they have plenty of time to figure that shit out, they don’t need to know each other right now bc there will be time to know each other later.

except.

#sorry saw a long post about this and had Thoughts #dick doesn’t know jason!!! he doesn’t really try to know jason! #and jason doesn’t so much give a fuck about knowing dick! #but then jason is *gone* and they will never get the chance to be brothers/rivals/friends #and the only way dick has left to know him is to mourn him #but bruce guards that like he guards nothing else in his entire guarded life #dick can see the memorial and dick can know bruce failed #but dick does not get to mourn jason bc only *bruce* has that burden/comfort/responsibility #and so dick has nothing. no happy memories to comfort himself w no bad memories to make it easier that jay is gone #and *that’s* the fucking tragedy. dick does not get to keep any part of jason whatsoever #and so he makes sure to bond w tim and w damian #bc he knows not to count on a future that may never happen #he knows that the potential of a relationship is not worth a fraction of an actual one (good or bad) #jason doesn’t care enough about dick to include him in his plans for revenge #it’s not hatred or love or jealousy or even *friendship* #the tragedy of dick and jason’s relationship is that they never really have one #and no matter if jason comes back from the dead if dick makes up for it w tim and dami #they’re never going to get that time back

To be clear: despite this sad episode, my feelings towards Tee have not changed, I have exactly the same opinion of him as I had before. Watching his overwhelming guilt, his situation at home, his self-pity and the feeling that with love and White he can be a better person, in no way erases from my mind how actively Tee worked to hurt Non. How he actively chose evil over and over again. I just want to say that I still remember that they are all responsible for what happened to Non, as no one tried to stop this spiral of evil that they themselves put Non on. Objectively, I know that they were kids back then, I know that none of them expected it would end like this. But I also know objectively that they didn't HAVE to do most of the things they did and they did them anyway, because they didn't see Non as a human being, but as some greasy subhuman. I like stories like this, I like showing characters like Tee, it was a VERY INTERESTING EPISODE, and Tee is a VERY INTERESTING CHARACTER. Unfortunately for all of them, I REMEMBER. And I know that no one was punished for it. NOBODY. Even Tee is somehow "rewarded" with a second chance. A chance his victims never received.

#his sob story changes nothing #still a big fan of karma revenge and the ancient tragedies of children taking revenge for their parents #eventually punishment must come #AND THEY NEVER ATONED FOR THEIR SINS #and no #being sad and feeling guilty does NOT count as punishment and penance #sorry but I'm watching Tan as a mythology fan and seeing him as the incarnation of Erinyes is 👌👌 #dead friend forever #thai bl #bl drama
