A Way Too In-Depth Over-Analysis of Sorvus

I apologise in advance. For all of this. There’s a lot. These guys have inserted themselves into every empty renting space in my brain and uprooted all the taken spaces and moved in to everything. So to appease my brain I had to do this and then it just kept going. Also I’m Australian, so I have different spellings of some words, like “favourite” and you’re just gonna have to deal with that. Also also warning for very long paragraph rambles from me.

You’re literally gonna get the entire story here but with commentary at every paragraph. And sometimes four times in one paragraph. Anyway.

1. “For weeks” means they’ve spent heaps of time together, and using this instance as a guide, probably with no one but them. They’ve progressively learnt more and more about each other, yet later Soren is still super bright and excited to learn that Corvus’ favourite season is autumn, and that’s just so pure.

2. I would like to see this please.

3. “[…]lost most of the time” implies that Corvus won sometimes. teLL ME EVERYTHING ABOUT EVERY SINGLE ONE PLS I NEED TO KNOW WHICH ONES CORVUS WON (and yeah I also just need more Sorvus content but what can I say, they mean everything to me)

4. Corvus could probably just not participate, or tell Soren he’s too tired, or something along those lines. And yet he always tries his best, he still does it despite knowing he’ll probably lose. The fact that he’s not avoiding the challenges tells us that Corvus truly appreciates Soren’s friendship/companionship/company/etc and is fully willing to do tasks that he’s not great at to spend time with Soren and put a smile on his face. And you can’t tell me that’s not love, whether romantic or platonic or whatever. Honestly, if Corvus’ top love language is anything, I’d say it’s quality time. The other four just don’t quite fit, and, from the little we see of Corvus on screen, it seems like he’s most content when spending time with his favourite people. As for Soren, you could argue his love language is literally any of them. But I think his top two are words of affirmation and quality time - he was always so invalidated his whole life, mostly by his own father (I swear I’ll make a post of this at some point). His mother left, his father neglected him, his sister betrayed him. That’s gotta bring trust issues. So after all that, he’d appreciate someone telling him he’s worth it and telling him they love him. He’d appreciate spending time with those he loves, not even doing anything, just sitting and enjoying each other’s company, without his flaws being pointed out, without the stress of trying to keep his family together, just sitting there and loving and breathing and being.

1. This part could be a metaphor?? Corvus wants to go further with relationships at an easy pace where Soren wants to speed it up? Corvus is more of a peaceful person and Soren is scared of losing people and missing out on particular moments of relationships so he tries to experience it all at once?? It’s entirely possible I’m reading too far into this but I’m treating this like a school assignment, where you have to read too far into everything. You decide whether this is a good interpretation or not, I can’t decide.

2.a. If Soren has mentioned it “every time”, that implies a few things. The first is that they go up there enough for Soren to mention it a lot. Soren has a favourite place in the entire castle, and he wants to share it with Corvus (and there’s no one up there but them ;] IM KIDDING- or am I? Honestly I can’t tell, you decide.) 2.b. The second thing is that Corvus has heard Soren talk about this part of the castle a lot. But there’s not even the slightest hint of description of Corvus’ annoyance at having to listen to Soren constantly say this is one of his favourite places, he just lets him tell him, over and over. It’s getting little personal here, but Soren totally has ADHD, which makes my job easier bc I also have ADHD. 2.b.ii. I personally forget all the time if I’ve told this particular person this particular story/fact/whatever it is or not, so I constantly tell the same story over and over. It feels exciting bc each time it feels like I’m telling them for the first time, since I don’t remember the previous times. So when the person/people I’m talking to don’t lost their patience or get annoyed or anything when I tell them something I’ve already told them, and instead they just react like it’s the first time they’ve heard it, it feels really validating. So I’m thinking Soren feels the same, and Corvus not showing a hint of annoyance despite hearing this a lot feels really good to my neurodivergent brain and probably feels good to Soren’s, too.

1. Corvus. Notices things. About. Soren. And not just recently, it’s “a long time ago”, meaning he’s observed Soren and committed his habits to memory for years. I love them.

2. ADHDDDDDDD

3. He ✨cares✨

1. Something about the way this is worded is so beautiful. A sentence of peaceful description in the midst of casual dialogue. It makes it feel like they’re one person, staring at the beautiful view, taking it all in, together with each other but alone from anyone else to distract them from the gorgeous autumn horizon.

1. Like I said earlier (by earlier, I mean the literal first thing I said. There’s still a lot to go. This thing is called a way too in-depth over-analysis for a reason), Soren is so purely excited with the knowledge that Corvus’ favourite season is autumn. Autumn, the season they’re presently in. Meaning, for a few months, Corvus is always experiencing his favourite season, meaning he’s probably always feeling some amount of happiness/content, and the thought that Corvus is happy makes Soren happy.

2. They’re both just standing on a castle, next to each other, and staring out at nature. It probably feels like they’re the only people in the world. If they’re the only people, then to each of them, the most important thing in existence is (probably) the other. It also might be a metaphor to something, but I can’t figure out what it is. It’s possible the metaphor is something I’ve already mentioned. But if anyone thinks of anything, please lemme know, it’s an itch I can’t reach so if anyone can, please scratch it for me. (I made a metaphor about not being able to figure out a metaphor. Metaphor-caption or something, idk man)

3. Such a simple statement. Standing in such a relaxed way. He’s at peace, while alone with one of the most energetic people like ever.

1. That’s a date. Surely I’m not the only one seeing this, right? Soren, you’re describing a date. Idk if you realised, but that’s a date. You’ve just suggested a date. And Corvus will say yes.

2. Soren’s horrified that Corvus would possibly be mistreated. He’s also, more importantly, scared that it wasn’t mistreatment but Corvus’ choice, because if it was a choice then Corvus might not like beds and castles and other people and Soren can’t handle the thought that Corvus might leave him, just like everyone else he’s ever loved and trusted.

3. Help now I’m picturing little forest dates, with picnics and lying next to each other, staring at the canopy of leaves above them, and glancing at each other every time the other looks away and smiling and holding hands and Soren lying with his head on Corvus’ chest and a leaf falling right on Soren’s face and Corvus’ laugher rumbling his belly and making Soren sit up and throw the leaf at him and they laugh and smile and talk and they’re in love help

1. I kinda touched on this earlier, but Soren can’t fathom the idea of being without Corvus. Probably because of losing his entire family so Corvus is just about all Soren’s got left. And he’s really scared that he’ll lose him, too, and losing everyone would make Soren lost; lost and alone and scared and vulnerable and he needs a hug i volunteer as tribute and shut up that’s possible this is my post i make the rules but if i cant hug him then i volunteer Corvus as tribute

2. (Yes we’re talking about sentence structure. This is a way too in-depth over-analysis, get over it already man.) It’s repeated that something is bothering Soren. Repetition means emphasis, that the author wants us to know that it’s an important thing, so they say it a couple times. Something is bothering Soren, and that bothers Corvus. He wants to help Soren and get rid of this thing that’s bothering him (probably).

3. Let me translate what Soren is trying to say here: “What about me? Do you like me?” He’s seeking validating and wanting to get Corvus to stay, because without Corvus he has nothing.

1. Translation again: “I like you. I trust you. And trust is really important now, with everything that’s happened. There was a war. Everyone I’ve ever trusted betrayed me or left me. So please date me join the crown guard with me so I have more opportunities to ask you to date me it’s really big that I trust you so much, because I’ve been having issues with trust.”

2. I have asd!corvus head canons, so eye contact here is really important and rare

1. He’s paying attention to him.

2. I like to imagine he did finger guns

1. Imagine how this went down. “I like corvus a lot” “yeah, he’s great! I want him to stay in katolis but hes more at home in the forest-“ “corvus should be crown guard… I really trust him.” “-yeah, cos you’re in love with him- I trust him too. You should ask him to date you join.” (ez totally ships it and tries to set them up a lot and you cant tell me otherwise)

1. He’s trying to avoid Corvus seeing the truth in his eyes; that he doesn’t want Corvus to go, that he loves Corvus, that without Corvus he doesn’t know who or even what he is, because Corvus is all he has left.

2. I know this is like an emotional flicker or whatever, but what if it’s literally pain and wounds that are hidden behind his protective armour? Soren broke like all his bones. There’s almost no way he doesn’t still get flashes/twinges of pain (I feel like there’s some kind of medical term for that but I’ve forgotten what it is). He definitely doesn’t tell anyone about it, but probably gets flashes of pain every so often, and Corvus has somehow managed to pick up on that. Maybe.

1. People with ADHD are often over-thinkers (at least I think so? I don’t have any sources for it but I’m an over-thinker and so is everyone I know with ADHD. So probably.), so Corvus said it “as plainly as he could” to stop Soren from over-thinking it and spiralling. He gets it out, doesn’t stall, doesn’t mislead, doesn’t confuse. Just says it, and there it is, and Soren is so happy

1. I’ll admit it, I’m still thoroughly confused by this part but it’s fine cos they’re both happy and that makes me happy.

and that’s all the shenanigans i have for you today. if you made it this far, flipping wow, because there is quite literally more analysis here than there is story.

but that’s not all from me.

no, i have eight notes on my phone ready for things to be added to them, and theyll be here… at some point. if you wanna be notified when i post them you can follow me i guess. or go to the tag at the bottom of each of these posts, ‘tdp rambles with bj’ (hopefully it’s worked) and you can follow that or something? idk. sorry, im bad at self-promos. uhh. yeah. anyway this was fun, im so tired but so thrilled to finally have all my thoughts out in once place. stay calm and ship sorvus, everyone.

Have a gay day! -BJ

i do kind of miss how funny it was when my entire impression of doflamingo was ‘fresno nightcrawler + scariest dude i’ve ever been around at a rave’

#one piece #cursed one piece #donquixote doflamingo #on the other hand he’s MUCH more interesting than that #very well written character (both dq brothers are)#i still want to put him in a jar but now he’s managed to fully engage the analytical part of my brain too #wanna pull those strings a bit to see what direction he skitters in #it’s so funny bc literally all it would have taken to reign him in is a world where absolute power over others was not possible #borked his reward pathways completely to hell in that two extra years he had as a world noble #and now it’s everyone’s problem #is he terrible on purpose? yes #but i would also argue that the big pink man has always been playing the part he’s been given to play

Shall we disprove the infinite chocolate theory?

Galentine’s day doodle (actually drew this in the 13th), 2024 edition

Approximately 1 year ago, someone prepared for her own galentine’s day date ;)

#caecilia #that girl #<- idk her name. it is not an English name but i don’t know names in other languages so if anyone has suggestions please tell me #oc #galentinesday #caecilia (person on the left) is an analytical type. in reality she did buy the chocolate as a present for her friend #but verbally expressing affection is not her thing so she is pretending she bought the chocolate just so they can prove something #friend humors her but she understands why caecilia really bought it and that’s enough for both of them #the oc under the cut is #Jake

in the fourth session, after pearl loses her and scotts first life, scott bitterly walks back to his and cleos bridge, vowing to himself that once they get down to red life, he will off himself in order to make sure he's the one to end pearls series. hes not over her abandonment in the very first session, and he doesnt think he ever will be. shes a nuisance, a hazard, a something to hold him back and make everything that much more complicated for him and cleo, and once he knows he has nothing else to lose, he will relish in bringing an end to the weight by his side with his own hands.

now remember: no one ever really wins in the life games. one way or another, everyone has to die. and scotts already won once before, so whats the real harm in giving someone else a chance to stand on the podium? (and whats the real harm in making sure it isnt his soulbound, in making sure his chosen soulmate is that much closer to a victory of their own?)

and then, as necessity calls, he finds himself unwittingly and unwillingly allying with her as the game intended. theyre both cautious, with pearl being hesitant to call herself "friends" with scott and the others, and scott seemingly waiting for the other shoe to drop, to have pearl go back to her crazy ex-girlfriend ways and ruin it for the both of them. but as time goes on, they start talking. scott brings up her failure to show up in the beginning, and pearl hits right back with His Failure to reconnect and let her explain herself.

and scott starts thinking. pearl has never recovered from "becoming red" way back in the first session, and she likely never will--after all, theres no regaining hearts in this iteration, lives or otherwise. after scott loses their second life to an indignant joel, a direct parallel of what he so scolded her about before, he knows theyre even now. But, are they really?

after martyn and pearl failed to show up (after they did show up, too little, too late), cleo and scott officially declare themselves soulmates, leaving for greener pastures. they assumed that martyn and pearl would do the same or otherwise be ok. but while this is true of martyn, sort of--he and cleo reconcile and get on Kind Of good terms, despite the rocky parts--pearl is left to stew in her emotions. she becomes overly attached to a dog, as all people going through a rough break up do, and gains a reputation among the server for being the Red Witch; unpleasant and to be avoided. she acts out, causes trouble, and adapts to the chunks of damage and axe crits scott throws her way in retaliation to her erratic behaviour. but through all the cartoonish villainy and scheming, he can see the full extent of damage hes causing her, physical or otherwise.

now remember: no one ever really wins in the life games. one way or another, everyone has to die. and scotts already won once before, so whats the real harm in giving someone else a place to stand on the podium? (and whats the real harm in making sure its only his soulbound, in making sure his final act is made in kindness and grants a victory of her own?

hed already vowed to do so, in a way, and for all hes cursed pearl for neglecting her duties as his soulmate, it would be rude to go against his word now; even if its fulfilled just a little different than he originally intended.

in the sixth session, after pearl kills both cleo and martyn, scott meets her in the place where everything started, repeating his vow made to himself and to them both. "Tilly death do us part," he speaks, as he lights the tnt beneath his feet.

#double life #scott smajor #dangthatsalongname #pearlescentmoon #dlsmp #both the series and mr s major smajor scott scott major dangthatslongname smajor1995 please sir your brand #kept forgetting to get this one out my drafts for A While lol cubic if ur reading: remember this one?#nine nomologues #this is my first time making like a more analytical post rather than memeing so! yippee!#dunno if ill do this often but it was kinda fun to put together also i swear #the themes consistently put together and acted out within these heavily improved minecraft series #theyre eating my brain like parasitic worms how do they make such profound tragedies EVERY TIME #/pos btw having a great time these tags are getting long goodness

i get why people were concerned (though i can’t imagine alec cheating EVER, that’s just like, so antithetical to who he is as a person, he has plenty of flaws, that’s just simply not one of them), but i don’t see Any of his behavior with underhill as potential flirting. to me it’s like... alec doesn’t really have many friends outside of his family! aline, while i’m sure he genuinely enjoys her company and cares about her, was a Shared Family Friend, clary is not really his friend but HAS become family lmao (neither of them do anything by halves), he loves magnus deeply and there’s genuine friendlike fondness rooted in their relationship but magnus has a Distinctly Different role in his life.

underhill has like, no agenda, he just blatantly likes (and i mean this in a very platonic way) and respects alec and alec is tip-toing the idea of maybe not being misanthropic and actually trying to have a friend lmao.

#shadowhunters rewatch 2023 #alec lightwood #andrew underhill #alec and underhill #luke kinda half counts as a friend maybe #but they're more acquaintances by circumstance than anything #and there is both a generation barrier and the shadowhunter/downworlder barrier #alec was easier for luke to get along with when alec didn't have much real authority. now that's a lot more complicated!#i do think they have genuine respect for each other though #if there is any amount of alec looking at underhill in some romantic light. i think it's very analytical?#it's not something he actually wants #but with all this conflict with magnus it's probably not surprising to wonder what it would be like to be with someone he can relate with #better #for better or worse though #he loves magnus #and that's not changing #so it's a moot point

crazy to me to think that my dads birth chart is predominantly fire, my mothers is mostly water, my sister is super earth heavy, and i have a lot of air in mine

#like it just perfectly encapsulates exactly our dynamics #i just narrated this to myself out loud for like half an hour #like we are SOOOO our own archetypes #my dad is super passionate and ambitious and reactive and hot headed. like SOOO fire stereotypical #which is also good for the patriarch of a traditional house #my mother is very emotional and considerate and sensitive and reactive. which works great for the traditional matriarch of the house #my sister is very earthy. she always had a really pleasant environment around her physically. like a tidy well decorated room #into fashion and learning skills that will practically help her or be useful for her #and i was always super analytical and creative and interested in learning and pulling the strings and all of that air sign stuff #always listening to music or writing stories or coming up with ideas etc etc #and it's interesting because both our parents are fire and water which are quite reactive and explosive signs #and they were like always fighting and stuff which is whatever #but then my sister and I were always very level headed and even tempered #plus on top of that she's a taurus rising and I'm a libra rising #so with the venus energy there to contrast my dads aries sun (mars placement) and my mothers scorpio moon (also mars placement)#it was very us like. doing our own things listening to music and learning things together #while the bombs went off in the background behind us and we were just like balancing it out kinda #anyway i love astrology this is so fucking cool #you guys can talk to me abiut astrology any time #mine #this doesn't include my younger 3 sisters who completely turned the dynamics around #but we didn't grow up with them so they're kinda like the family 2.0

A bit more about Gdansk

So I've been doing a daily Cabin Pressure advent posting and most of them I write pretty hurriedly at work and don't necessarily remember what I've written after I wrote it. But Gdansk... I feel like I need to say more, on a purely subjective level, about Gdansk.

I've said this before in another post, but Cabin Pressure has gotten me through some of the most difficult times in my life. (Later on, Double Acts and JFSP stepped in to add additional material as well, of course.) Having an easily available auditory antidepressant when in a difficult situation is genuinely lifesaving and I'll leave it at that.

Gdansk is one of the main episodes I rely on for that. I listen to it enough that there are whole passages that I can just directly quote. Each episode that forms part of that main core of episodes that I rely on has, in a way, its own reason for it- its own thing about it that speaks to me at the particular moment of pain that I'm having when I have the instinct to turn to something comforting. So I spent the whole of last night trying to figure out what it is that Gdansk has that my psyche craves at particular moments.

And the answer is- I don't know. I can say very easily that Limerick is great when I'm lonely, and St Petersburg is great when I feel defeated, and Paris is great when I just want a good old fashioned mystery/heist, but I think the thing with Gdansk is just... it's really entertaining? It's got those perfect overtones of silliness, and it has no stakes except emotional ones for Martin and Douglas, and it's just so well constructed. If there's anything I get out of it it MAY be "there's always someone worse off, and things aren't over for them either" lol- Martin exposes a deep secret to Douglas, and Douglas is hiding an even deeper one (in some ways) from Martin, and both of them are very much able to bounce back.

And today I was pondering- vulnerability is a consistent theme, I think, in Cabin Pressure (specifically how giving into it can open up new dimensions in relationships), and what I think is great here is how specifically in Gdansk we see the kind of strain it can have to KEEP a secret that you haven't decided to be vulnerable about yet. A lot of Douglas's lashing out is because he hasn't decided to share about his divorce from Helena (and how he was cheated on) yet, and he doesn't feel able to be vulnerable about it. And he won't until Limerick, all the way at the end of the season. And it's clear that even if he's not ready to share, the weight of the secret and of needing to maintain a particular appearance for himself to the rest of the crew (which, and this is obviously relevant, is just a reversal of the pretense he was displaying FOR Helena earlier) is weighing on him and affecting his relationships with people. But Martin is able to reveal something big and embarrassing... and Douglas finds it within him to be kind to him as a result. Does this give Douglas the idea that people may be kind to him if HE'S vulnerable?

ANYWAY, as someone dealing with a few things I think this speaks to me a lot.

I'll be back later with my thoughts on Helsinki!

#cabin pressure #cabin pressure advent #cabin pressure advent 2023 #john finnemore #gdansk #i can never decide whether to be analytical or personal in these things #so i guess i'm being both?
