[ins0mnia-an0nym0us-au]

so i watched The Sandman episodes 1-3

so far so great

amazing imagery. great acting. fantastic writing.

will be do a couple more parts of this

SPOILERS BELOW THE READ MORE

have some non-spoiler completely random out-of-context teasers

oh no. i can already tell the internet is going to simp so hard for this weird gangly man

why is this Priest so relatable? if i knew Jenna Coleman - i too would be asking her for drinks at every chance

oh no. i can already tell the internet is going to simp so hard for this weird gangly man

and as a lesbian i cannot fathom why

*cuts to man (The Corinthian) taking eyes from someone*

oh no. another one

but for the irredeemable sort apologists

*small child appears*

i know that boy... MILES - FROM BLY MANOR

*proceeds to remember "stop being weird" line from Flora and snorts*

also who calls their dad Magus???

*proceeds to learn about the dad*

ah. well.

you didn't get Death you dimwit. why does this idiot keep asking the King of Dreams for his dead son??? he's the King of Dreams! he can't raise the dead!

*cackles at Ethel robbing Roderick blind cause he wanted her to have an abortion and probably would've forced her into it*

good for her

also my gay ass immediately picked up the tension between Alex & Paul despite them only have 0.5 second together

let's all be honest Alex should've stood up to his dad years ago. maybe even killed him but abusers have such power over their victims - it's sad to see a good soul become tainted by such evil

i think Alex's biggest mistake was not letting Morpheus out immediately with an apology. though im not sure he would've been forgiven for killing Jessamy

i like to think Morpheus could see the regret on Alex's face and if he'd been let out immediately he would have perhaps not forgiven him but understood that without his father there Alex wasn't afraid to be good

*sees flying Gargoyle and learns his name is Gregory*

im attached - nothing shall harm Gregory

*watches Gregory sacrifice himself*

that was rude af and no the baby Gargoyle (Irving) doesn't make up for it... even tho he's adorable

*Jenna Coleman appears bisexually on screen*

i cannot be held responsible for what i may say or do. this woman is amazing and i've loved her since Doctor Who

why is this Priest so relatable? if i knew Jenna Coleman - i too would be asking her for drinks at every chance

ma'am you can have not just my top but also my heart. soul. wallet. shoes. keys. EVERYTHING

that demon just said fuck that flesh suit - it's too small. that was a crazy cool way to visually show a demon being exorcised from a human while like failing to save the human

why did Patton Oswald have to voice this raven. why couldn't it have been someone more regal sounding?

Ethel really made a good life for herself by herself and told The Corinthian to eat shit

ASTRA LOGUE?! yes hi. you're alive in Legends of Tomorrow so it's ok sweetie. we're gonna forget this whole. severed hand thing - repression

JENNA COLEMEN KISSING WOMEN WILL FOREVER BE A HIGH MOMENT IN LIFE

fuck. the allegory of Dreams being like drugs...

good to know that all the Constantines are self-loathing people who fuck up all their relationships. Rachel might've been an actually good person but it should've been her choice if Johanna was worth the risk or not

REMUS LUPIN??? excuse me SIR? what are you doing here?

*stressing out as soon as Ethel gives John the protection amulet*

ma'am. your son is obviously unhinged. this was a bad idea. well. now people are exploding and there's The Corinthian being nice to him. this is all to hell so fast

*Morpheus proceeds to go to Hell*

heheheheheheheheheheh *sweating*

Apparently I'm in a mood to give commentary, y'all, so here we go

[I made this meme, please be nice and don't repost it without giving credit 🥺🥺🥺]

I've seen a lot of episodes scattered throughout all the seasons so I'm currently in a full watch starting from the beginning. I'm currently on 2x13, an episode I've already seen but it's been awhile

It's the episode with that Frank dude. Didn't he have some girl he was in love with that was at the center of all his shit though?? I don't know, I can't remember, guess I'll find out as we go along

Oh damn, I didn't realize he'd been killing for that fucking long 💀💀

Same, man, same

(Totally off topic but Nebraska's just became one of my sycronicities and they're literally in Nebraska so that's fun 💀)

"YoU rEaLly ThInK wE hAvE a SeRiAl KiLlEr In OuR tOwN?" Bro, shut up, you're town isn't excluded from psychopaths and people with issues, anything can happen 💀💀

"Is it just me or are we not very welcome here?" Reid, you're so cute, ilysm

THAT'S HER ISN'T SHE

THAT'S FRANK'S CRAZY GIRLFRIEND

RIGHT???

I could be completely wrong on that but oh well, lmao

Yeah, yeah, yeah, Jane!!! Totally his girlfriend or whatever

Poor Garcia, she has to see so much gross shit :((

Oh yes, there is another connection

They all drive along the same highway

This Aflac commercial is so dumb, bro

Like the colors of that chess board though

That's such a nice diner. Poor lady, just finding out that she's been serving a sadistic serial killer milkshakes for all these years. I guarantee you've served more than just one at some point, honey, a side of the road trailer diner right by the highway like that

"Do YoU tHiNk I'm InSaNe?" No, bro, I KNOW you insane

Gideon's just like, "Bitch, do not play me right now, I know that you know that I know that you've tortured and killed dozens of people, and my knowledge makes me more dangerous than you 🙄😤"

HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE

Holy fuck

That's

I don't wanna think about that, tbh

BEING STUCK IN A K-HOLE 💀💀💀

I vaguely recognize the police officer lady that took them to Jane but that might just be cause I've seen this episode before

Awww, young Jane was so pretty

She thought Frank was an alien 💀💀💀

He just basically said loners in so many other unnecessary words 💀

Yeah, Jason. What's the psychopath got in the bag, huh?

I recognize that dude with the shotgun, too, lmao

Another ad break, ugh

In other news, my cat came to visit on her way to the window

I don't care about ikea 😤

Oh, and we're back now

What's in the baaaaggggg

"We are all sons of bitches" Damn, bro, that's rude

Imagine if tickets were as big as heads

Last time I heard someone say "S.O.B." was in Supernatural, I think

MONTAGE

"To get away with murder, you simply don't tell anyone" Yeah, I think we already know that, guys 💀

They've figured it out! Good job for being smart, guys!

I love Garcia and JJ's friendship 🤣🤣🤣

WHY WOULD SHE TAKE SOME CRAZY LADY FROM JAIL TO HER HOUSE

Just found out snapshot from progressive is not available in both California and North Carolina

They're like right across from each other on a map, that's the weirdest thing ever 💀💀

Dammit, I want a milkshake now, tbh

He wants his girly friiieeennndddd

Don't Frank and Jane both end up dead by the end of this episode

Oh great, he's artsy crafty

And we've now caught up to present times

The same happy chemicals that come in chocolate also come in peas, what 💀💀💀

Oh god, ew

Reid's face when he sees everything in the gross torture and murder room :(((

Awwww, he fell in wove

Yet another ad break 😩

And we're back for the final home stretch

Not the little kiddies :((

Awww, they're so made for each other

In their very own weird twisted way

"I cOuLdN't HaVe ThAt On My CoNsCiEnCe" Bro, nothing goes on your conscience to begin with 💀💀💀

"I'll kill myself"

"Call me first" 💀💀💀

Did he really just hike that entire 2 miles 💀💀

"We'll find them" He says, looking confidently into the distance.

"Sure, Jan." I whisper, from behind a bush.

WHO decided to make that change i just wanna talk 🤨

[theoptimisticdaydreamer]

I’ve noticed something about modern remakes of old classics. It is almost like they are intentionally thumbing their nose up at their predecessors and mocking the fact that people liked the classic at all. They automatically deem the classic as outdated and the modern remake is obviously better because it is modern.

What most modern remakes lack is heart. Yes the classic may be cheesy and not that deep but it possesses a lot of heart. That heart is relatable to so many audiences. The soul of these characters resound with many people even if they do not outwardly resemble the audience.

Modern remakes now completely toss aside the cheesy pairings and put the opposites attract, good girl and bad guy with a tortured past (why is this always the go-to troupe??), couple on a pedestal. This couple gets all of the attention and all of the development and the former gets absolutely none. So audiences obviously lean into the latter couple because it makes more sense, because you have seen more of them interacting.

Just once, just once, I want to see the cheesy couple get development. I want the cheesy couple to get depth. I want to see them backing up the cheese instead of dismissing cheesy as something for The Past (TM). Give me that depth. I want to be presented with a cheesy couple and have that cheesy couple remain intact through the course of the movie/show but they are stronger and more developed now. They can grow as individuals and still retain that attraction and devotion to one another.

I want to root for the people who are lovestruck about one another. Lovestruck isn’t inherently bad or childish—— if the story gives it a chance.

#fiction commentary #movie commentary #tv show commentary #can we please stop dismissing the cheesy couples #please develop the cheesy couples #you can have cheese and character development at the same time #give them a chance #modern remakes aren’t automatically better because they are mOdErN #i will rewatch anything that has heart and soul #that is what makes a piece of entertainment memorable

DO NOT BE AFRAID

this is combining Ovid's Heroides and the Excidium Troie because I can't stop thinking of Hermes telling him not to be afraid. what the fuck!! Ares is wearing the crown that Paris gave him.

I have. thoughts. about Paris. he's almost got this Troilos parallel in my mind, that the event that defines him in detail exists in a lost narrative that we don't have (the Cypria), but everyone else knew. the event that defines Troilos is his death (murdered, butchered by Achilles, the violence of which haunts everything after. Achilles, child killer, you can't escape that!), and the event that defines Paris is the Judgement. what's a lost text but a kind of grave!!

idk I don't think that Paris before the Judgement would recognize himself after bc when you become god touched, it rearranges your guts. you become transformed in the worst way possible! how could you recognize yourself! but I also think that all the Parises after the Judgement would recognize each other because that event is so locked into the trauma of war and the scar it leaves on the land, it's like a scar on the narrative too. it exists like this forever, over and over again, so you exist like that forever too. Troy collects grief and despairs.

Troy as trauma: Reflections on intergenerational transmission and the locus of trauma, Andromache Karanika

and Paris is like. a miserable little god/corpse-puppet or something, like a match for the gods to throw onto gasoline.

The Excidium Troie + Ovid's Heroides:

Ovid, Heroides 16 (trans. Harold Isbell)

I WOULD LOVE. to draw a comic and not have the commentary notes be longer than the comic itself #unfortunately i like to read and i cannot stop talking about things that i read. so this will not be changing. #ngl i keep hearing the last line 'my brother says you are a just judge' as 'and brutus says he is an honorable man' and that's smth for sur #god i wish this was shorter but then i remember it could've been longer bc i started drawing this while watching #some excellent korean horror but then i looked at myself in the mirror and said 'no. get your shit together.' #but that show is what sparked this. the themes. god i love shows. a round of applause for tv shows. #in a different world theres a version of me that didn't exercise self restraint and there's 30 screen caps from a horror show here too #it’s all greek to me

[cabin14]

I talked about it already on my other blog by mistake but I think everyone is glossing over the casual accusation of Clarisse

Of course it makes sense. It’s a logical conclusion to come to, albeit rushed, from Grover. Ares is on a tirade about how much he hates kids and how he dislikes seeing them every year on the annual trip and how he fakes any enjoyment but then cuts himself off to say perhaps he hates his own kids “a bit less”

Ares children never go unclaimed. Clarisse has a gift from him. She got his attention, the very thing he claimed to hate doling out. She’s the leader of his cabin, seemingly his most beloved daughter, if he could possibly have one, and determined to make him proud.

And as for Clarisse herself, Clarisse has hated Percy from the moment she laid eyes on him, if not before then. She’s hell bent on making him retract his story about the Minotaur even though it would have changed nothing - Percy had a witness in Grover, days in the infirmary, Chiron, his Protector, and Mr. D all believe the story, and Percy has the horn. The only thing it would have done is make Percy look like someone who would go back on his word.

It would make him look like a traitor.

Only now that same boy is telling Luke - the boy who take care of all the other demigods, the boy who took care of Clarisse in the time it took between her arrival and her claiming - that she’s the traitor. That she’s the Lightning Thief.

And he goes along with it of course. He’ll arrest her in the next episode and we’ll see a scared little girl punished for a crime she didn’t commit and Luke will tell her it’s because her father gave her up. And Clarisse will think it’s because she let Percy break her spear. And maybe in some way it is, because Ares is a god who hates his kids, same as all the others.

But he hates his kids “a bit less”

So of course Grover thinks he has it all figured out. Of course it looks like Ares is covering for his daughter. He’s the God of War, using his child soldier to commit war crimes in his place, covering for her to give her more time by sending Percy and Annabeth on a fetch quest. It’s obvious. The gods underestimated them again

But for people who read the books, you know that the God did manipulate them, did use them, did trick them to shield the lightning thief - and it’s not even one of his kids.

[twinsarekeepers]

Y’all are so focused on hating this show and getting your pretentious little nitpicks and essays about why you think the changes are ruining it (when you can just wait for the show to finish to see the end product) that you miss out on the really cool shit like the headmaster of Yancy being Kronos in Percy’s dream and literally echoing the same line Clarisse had to him when he first got to camp.
