RE: Post Malone in the Fortnight video representing a version of taylor

A Matty fan found a parallel between his tour visuals where he lays with a wax figure of himself and compares it to the similar show in the Fortnight video.

Public Taylor (Taylor) and Private Taylor (Post Malone) not touching as the Mattys are is especially interesting. Public Taylor is opting to hold the stories of her relationships (the US book) instead of her own hand.

#thought this was interesting #the parallel is def there #the fact that it’s a wax figure makes me think of the Famous video too but idk if she has control over his tour visuals lol #gaylor #kaylor #gaylor analysis

"For a moment or two I could see nothing, as the shadow of a cloud obscured St. Mary’s Church and all around it. Then as the cloud passed I could see the ruins of the abbey coming into view; and as the edge of a narrow band of light as sharp as a sword-cut moved along, the church and the churchyard became gradually visible. Whatever my expectation was, it was not disappointed, for there, on our favourite seat, the silver light of the moon struck a half-reclining figure, snowy white."

I love the view that Dean figured out his deeper feelings for Cas in 6 & 7, and the majority of 8 was Dean arcing out of his hero-worship and people-should-never-let-me-down neuroses.

And then.

Post-perceived rejection… (Remember: Cas threw OFF Dean’s hand in Purgatory, and cut OFF cupid’s hand when it was aimed at him.)

So. Late Seasons 8 to mid-12 are Dean actively trying to get over Cas. In s9, he’s off-key paralleled with Josie Sands and Abaddon. (When it’s actually Hannah who’s “the Josie.”) Then he transitions into a reversal-power arc, towards being force-fit into the cartoonish, dare I say ham-fisted Cain role and its parallels. (They spell out the parallel in a distinctly odd way, esp for SPN. Too on the nose. Prescriptive. That’s because it’s actually mirroring Dean’s power fantasy according to Dean’s deepest, least charitable, nihilistic wishes.)

In s10, Dean still appears hung up on Cas, trusting him with the blade and begging him to help kill him if he becomes disinhibited/loses his free will again. Also, “I’m glad you’re here, man,” and Cas’s awkward reply, “Another time. There’s a female waiting in the car.” In a way, Dean’s feelings and fantasies serve to taunt him. The Cain parallel itself feels like a taunt.

Dean may realize Cas “admires” him but it’s definitely not the way Dean wants, that is: not like a secret admirer. Dean is mad for the unbalanced power dynamics re:Cas in the past. Now in Dean’s power reversal: Cas gets the wife treatment and Dean gets paralleled with the powerful Cain figure. He gets to beat Cas just as Cas beat him.

And it’s no accident the Dean’s power reversal arc culminates in a reverse-crypt. Because that’s what Dean’s bitter about. (“That’s not gonna be a problem = You can’t hurt me anymore, not like you did.”) It’s rooted in the bitterness of perceived rejection. That’s why Cas bears the brunt of Dean’s anger here.

Afterwards, Dean feels soooo guilty for being angry.

Later…

At various points, he tries to reassure Cas he’s okay with and appreciates how things are: a best friend, a comrade, a brother. Acceptance!

Dean spent season 10 dealing with his baggage and hoping hopelessly, then in season 11, I think he resolved to accept things. He may have toed the water with sexual tension and short shorts at times, but overall he was trying to live with Cas and let Cas off the hook.

He also encouraged Amara to deal with her own baggage the way he’d worked through his. Season 10 was his reversal arc: him in power for once, with Cas getting the wife treatment and Sam’s corruption being highlighted for once. And in season 11 he was spirited away, dealing with being powerless once more.

After that was done, he tried to swallow his feelings and let go of Cas, the way he encouraged Amara to let go of him.

He may perceive season 11 as his letting go of irrationally wanting Cas. The car scene may represent him giving Cas an out. Even releasing him from any perceived obligations.

So when Cas shows interest in season 12, I do think that threw him! Made him so nervous that he started hoping again, getting all tentative with his little mixtape.

Then Cas returns the damn mixtape. (Burned again!) But instead of getting bitter, Dean says to keep it, it’s a gift. Then he mumbles another “we’re all stronger together,” lil spill to cover his embarrassment.

Because now, he’s fully accepted that he loves Cas. Dean’s feelings haven’t faded so he has resolved to live with them as they are. No matter how many times he gets his hopes up and disappointed.

But now, Dean’s more scared. In season 8 he was ready to tell Cas “I love you.” He spent four years trying to navigate those unrequited feelings and convert them into familial camaraderie.

It’s much scarier in s12 with cosmic consequences on their heads, and Dean with everything he’s ever wanted just at his fingertips.

My fave thing about it all is that Dean and Cas are ready for each other at wildly different points and hardly ever sync up in between all the disasters.

who up thinkin about the di angelo siblings and the grace siblings and how they were each other’s whole world and how they lost each other despite everything. How they did the best that they could do. Thinkin about abandonment issues and a deep sense of longing and crushing loneliness and parents who weren’t there and heavy expectations and and and

#like fine Talia and Jason are parallels to Artemis and Apollo. We should take more about the Bianca and Nico coding #which is part of why Jason and Nico make such a perfect friendship. #Jason grace #nico di angelo #bianca di angelo #thalia grace #pjo hoo toa #heroes of olympus #look this is def old news I just think it’ll always be relevant.

#i def agree that there r so many parallels to other ghiblis (esp other miyazaki films) that u can point out #but as someone who loves marnie i couldn't help but notice unexpectedly similar vibes between anna's and mahito's stories #like this sense of it being half classic ghost story & then half dreamlike sequences (as an exploration of grief) #there were other visuals and elements i could point out but this is all i could grab from the trailers lol #ghibli #when marnie was there #the boy and the heron #hayao miyazaki #hiromasa yonebayashi #parallels

i'm unable to draw any character without including tsukasa

#prsk fa #prsk #project sekai #tsukasa tenma #mafuyu asahina #mafukasa #<- sure why not #i like thinging abt mafukasa parallels #not in the “tsukasa is actually depressed but hides it” way bc like #.. yes he def has some issues but thats not it. #but they're so similar in the way that both their sekais are created from only their feelings #not the group as a whole #like. why don't we talk about that more. its so cool #also they have the same sense of style #my fav mafukasa parallel

Whenever I do a TMA s1 relisten I love love love finding things that ended up changing over the next few seasons as the show became more fully fleshed out. Tim being serious and Sasha being the joker? Iconic. Whatever the fuck entity was leaving bags of doll heads and prayers on some random doorstep? Who even are you. How could you do that. What’s your number.

Anyway I need more of these to keep going thanks

#ikik that entity is supposed to be the flesh but I literally can’t see how idk why #Kieran’s statement being Extinction foreshadowing is my fave theory (even tho it’s def not true) #the Tim thing is only mentioned once in the Antonio Blake/Oliver Banks ep #but John says that he asked Tim to do the follow up because he wasn’t sure if one of the others had done it as a ‘bit of hazing’ #and I love that #bc not only is Sasha a joker in that world #so is Martin #maybe plotholes are the real parallel universe ngl #tma #the magnus archives #jonathan sims #jarchivist #martin blackwood #sasha james #tim stoker #the magnus institute #Elias Bouchard
