anyone else ever think about that scene in episode 7 of sophomore year when ragh found out his mom is dead but she isnt really dead her consciousness was in another body, and he started saying "do all our hugs count? it wasnt her real body but they count right?" and then fig hugs the gem her dad is trapped in and goes "IS THIS NOT A HUG?" and ragh hugs HER and they all start crying and adaine says my "parents never hugged me" and kristen just goes "i hold trackers hand quietly"
anyways i miss fantasy high sophomore year gang

like the important thing you must keep in mind about ten when you see him do literally anything is that he's soooooooooo so so so bad at actually isolating himself from other people. so TERMINALLY bad at it. he thinks to himself "i don't need human connection because everything i do causes pain and destruction to those around me :(" but then he experiences a crumb of human connection and his heart starts to spill out of his chest

still consumed by the cam and pal and paul emotions. thinking about how this wasn’t the ending that camilla and palamedes would have chosen for themselves at the start of things, but it was the kindest ending for them in those circumstances and it was an ending that they both chose willingly and wholeheartedly. thinking about codependency through multiple lenses and the degrees to which they did not, physically or emotionally, know how to survive without the other. thinking about how they never moved more than an arm’s length apart for the longest time after palamedes got a body back. thinking about camilla crying before the grand lysis just because she was so relieved. they loved each other so much that they fused their souls forever and now they’re never going to be apart again but they’re also never going to be together again. paul is a rebirth but also a death, a triumph that still can’t be separated from deep loss and grief

i know everyone sees him as second fiddle to knives bullshit but legato is Everything he is the reason the manga Works do you understand. wolfwood alone is not an adequate foil to vash bc he wants to be saved. he sees himself as guilty and recognizes the “wrong” in himself and wants to overcome it (nightmare of the orphans, eyes screaming in pain). his arc is more How can someone be better and still survive, not Should someone be better bc wolfwood ultimately does believe what vash is selling. by comparison, legato asks vash what if i dont want to be saved what if im happy here in the death and misery and cruelty what if i want this and vash’s answer is To Kill Him. he is the only person vash intentionally kills. he doesnt even kill knives bc knives’s plant bullshit is not actually vash’s ideological opposite. legato is. knives is kinda incidental to vash’s ultimate struggle against humanity’s ~dark side~ and how to reconcile that with their ability to grow and be better. i am shaking you by the shoulders do you understand do you fucking get it he is load bearing he is EVERYTHING DO YOU GET IT!!!!!!

but fr outside of my contracted madness i absolutely refuse to give joe alwyn gold rush like how is that song at all related to their relationship the lyrics clearly spell out a relationship that either never existed or only existed in implication and fantasies and maybe-maybe nots and its so bitter and yet desperately soft in the bridge where it almost projects a sense of envy, of wanting to be them as much as you want them. It continues an interesting oft ignored lyrical trend of taylor wanting just as much to be her lover as to have them, envying their easy charisma (you were flush with the currency of cool/i was always turning out my pockets) or quiet dignity (your integrity makes me seem small) dating back to her earliest songs (the kind of flawless i wish i could be). Theres a projected self hatred and yearning to be better that twists itself into both romantic and sexual lust for her partners thats so fascinating and speaks to how all of her songs regardless of who theyre about are also an act of self reflection on who she is and who she wishes to be.

it’s literally all about the gentleness, the utter tenderness with which lawrence and adam hold one another even with all that chaos in their wake. it’s about lawrence’s hands, the same hands that picked up the gun, the same hands that sent a bullet into adam’s shoulder, wrapping around adam’s arm to pull him down to lawrence’s level, cupping adam’s face. it’s about adam’s hands, covered in the blood of the man he just killed, gripping lawrence’s shirt, pulling him closer by his shoulder and pressing their foreheads together. it’s about this moment being framed with said body between them as the whole world seems to narrow down to just the two of them. it’s about the contrast, the violence offset by the way they cling to each other and the tenderness offset by the visual evidence of death and destruction around them. it’s about hands that can cause so much damage being used to comfort, to hold. an embrace saturated with blood but an embrace either way. and maybe the blood makes it mean more. maybe
