season one begins and ends on a close-up of rebecca because she’s the one who changes the most and goes through the biggest emotional arc of that season. she receives love and kindness and wisdom, from ted, from keeley, from sassy, and she gets better.
season two begins and ends on a close-up of nate because he’s the one who changes the most and goes through the biggest emotional arc of that season. he gets catapulted to a position of power without working out his issues with the team and with himself, and he gets worse.
season three just began with a close-up of ted. where the fuck are we gonna go from here.

Ok, so, I’ve seen so many people joke about how funny it is that Murph’s character’s greatest fear is a failing marriage. While I also find this funny, i just can’t help but notice that nobody is bringing up how terrifying that loss of autonomy must be.
Like, image if you went from a random ass frog in a random ass pond with all the normal frog concerns, like the constant fear of death by most things in the word. You have a human level of sentience, but you are forced to live as a frog. Shit. Sucks.
Suddenly, you’re in love. Even more suddenly, that love makes you a human. Not just any kind of human, but ROYALTY. Now, you’re never hungry, because there are feasts laid out just for you. Now, you’re never scared, because there are several people who would DIE for you. Now, you’re never lonely, because there is someone by your side that loved you enough to give you this perfect life. Everything is good….
Suddenly, you can’t look yourself in the eye because they’re on opposite sides of your head. There are talks of a spreading danger that threatens the lands and their people.
Suddenly, you’re throat swells up with air like a balloon. There’s an ever approaching army coming towards you.
Suddenly, you’re tongue elongates and snatches up a fly, making your wife scream. You sleep in your bed alone. The next day you’re nose is gone.
Gerard isn’t just losing his wife. He’s losing everything

I remember back when The Mountain Goats No Children was a meme on here seeing a post that went “I hope you live, i hope we both live,” and it making me SO angry…
And this was before I had ever even listened to the song (or anything by TMG for that matter), but now, knowing that John wrote the song, and specifically the line “I hope you die, I hope we both die” in response to radio overplay of the sugary sweet I Hope You Dance, I feel even more vindicated, because like.
Yes. Ultimately my overall life philosophy is that I hope we all live… I would hope that goes without saying. But No Children isn’t a life philosophy. It’s about how sometimes everything sucks and you feel like shit and trapped and hopeless and angry and I HOPE YOU DIE, I HOPE WE BOTH DIE!!!!!!!!! And who can’t relate to that? Who has NEVER felt like that in their lives??????
I feel a little silly accusing what was ultimately just a joke meme post of Toxic Positivity, but that was the vibe I was getting from it, which is why it made me mad. As though it was sticking up its nose at a song it clearly had no understanding of and going “well I hope we both LIVE 😇😇” and like. Fuck you lol. It’s okay to feel negative emotions. It’s okay to be angry.

You knew my mother was here | Moth Work
Lonan has stopped paddling. The canoe sits in the middle of the lake, lifeless like a bone in the water. He’s turned so Harrison sees him in profile and can’t tell if it’s relieving or worrying to see his face. Lonan’s jaw is taut, like there are words he wants to say but can’t. Filling up the hollow bone. He blinks slowly, like he’s trying to re-centre himself, his chest quivering with breaths meant to steady him. The water laps at the base of the canoe, whirling like his head. Dark hair tangles down his cheeks like the fingers of a poltergeist.
“You knew my mother was here,” Lonan says.
“Yes.”
“How?”
“Research.”
LONAN PORTRAIT TO GRACE (HAUNT?) YOUR DASH!! <3
Excerpt circa 2019.

Got a shifting reading from ofarcanenature on Etsy and it was such a good and detailed reading that I think will help me a lot, but one of the main things they said was that I need to take a shifting break for at least 21 days and 😭 I know that they’re right and it’ll probably help me a lot but I miss my friends and I wanna shift to see them 🥺

i haven't watched season 2 nor have i read the manga but i’ve seen bits and pieces and im a little obsessed with the idea of yuji being influenced by sukuna even if its subconscious/not something he notices. like mimicking his mannerisms or the way he speaks or just how he is in general. pov you’re slowly becoming more like the person you hate every day
