My take on the whole Titanic sub thing is this:
I don't want anyone to get mauled to death by a bear. I think it'd be awful if that happened. I think it'd be awful even if I didn't particularly like the people involved, or the type of people they are.
But if a bunch of people paid $250k to go on a Bear Tour where a tour guide takes you to visit a mother bear's den to go stick your face in there and see mama bear and all her cubs, and they all got mauled to death, well...it's still awful and I still don't want them to get mauled, but I'm gonna make fun of their stupid asses.

Thinking about the symbolic weight of smoking in the TLT universe that comes to the fore in The Unwanted Guest -- the way it moves through from person to person: Pyrrha smoked, and Augustine wanted to impress her in all her stone cold fox MILF James Bond glory (and tbf who wouldn't) so he started too. and even though as far as he knows she's been gone for a myriad and is never coming back, he keeps the habit. Ianthe sees something in the hollowed-out Faberge eggshell of Augustine that resonates with her, all that gilded eloquent emptiness and disdain through the ages, so she picked it up from him to try to emulate it. She picked it up so hard that Palamedes -- the exact spiritual antithesis of the 'smoking! on a space station! what a powermove' ennui Ianthe so admired -- spontaneously unnerded enough to even known how to, simply from a sort of contact contamination of the soul.
G1deon and Augustine sharing a jittery smoke after their near-Harrow experience during soup night, and it's the closest thing to any real sense of brotherhood that remains between them. Pyrrha going ten thousand years dying both literally and for a smoke (and then Camilla sold her fucking cigarettes (for a third of what they were worth, probably Pyrrha's own good, and also more importantly grocery money). what an entirely haunted time to be alive etc.). Augustine and Mercy trading a cigarette back and forth in the middle of their collusion over the love and murder of god.
An act of small and measured self-destruction in the name of something a little bit like connection when you're stuck somewhere in yourself where love itself dares not or cannot tread (ritualized, transmissible)..........

I just want to take this moment to say how much I stan the ocean and have always had the appropriate sense of terror in regards to the ocean and nature in general. You would never catch me getting in a tin death can to go see the titanic. That is what the internet is for.

"Do not ask how the ocean's blue or why the tides their time do keep. To love is simply to know this: the tides are true as the ocean is deep."
