'I don't want to be alone...'

Been terrorizing my friends with the concept of glisten being sent to floors as a punishment before gardenview shut down and that contributed to why hes so good at machines and has insane perfectionism, as well as why his twisted ver cant stand being alone :]

Recently Youtube's algorithm really wants me to watch Schindler's List and I never had so the other night I sat down and actually watched it.

Having a lot of thoughts about it but a major one I keep coming back to is how even an immensely and deeply flawed human being can go against "just following orders" and instead put in the work to actually help.

It may never be fully enough. It may never save as many as you'd hoped. But when you have a choice to either follow orders or save your fellow humans in front of you, I hope you choose the latter.

Schindler died in poverty. He was not a renown war hero nor was he at all famous or widely beloved. But he saw that he could help, even in some small way, and so he helped.

He was a Nazi who saw what the Nazis were doing to Jews and said no more. Enough. If I can even spare those under my charge, maybe a few extras, then at least I will have tried to do something about this.

I think a lot of people do not fancy this type of activism. It is messy, dangerous, and often completely thankless. Schindler survived as long as he did after the war due to those he saved helping him with donations. He was not popular in his hometown due to his association with Nazis, he was not popular in Germany, he was not popular in Argentina. His businesses all failed. His wife left him. A movie about his deeds was released several years after his death, where he would receive none of the benefits. He went to prison multiple times for simply refusing to hate Jews.

I think a lot of people like to think they're activists, but are sorely unprepared for doing this type of work, and then in truth become activists in name only. This is hard work. But without him, another thousand or so people would be on that death toll.

He took his position of extreme power- a Nazi owning a factory almost entirely operated by Jews, making oodles of money off that cheap slave labor- and said you know what? No. I'm not doing that. I can't save everyone, but as long as they are within my factory, you will not kill my workers. As long as I'm here you aren't harming one hair on the head of any Jew under my care. You're not sending or keeping them in Auschwitz. You're not randomly executing them for entertainment. They're people. You're not murdering them.

"Just following orders" they say. But they didn't have to. They could have helped. They could have did what he did, look around and say "what the fuck am I doing here", and stop. He did. They could have. They didn't.

Stanford never became friends with Fiddleford.

Instead he got himself a different small friend group who cares a lot about him. At least about the Ford he pretended to be in college.

A kind, soft spoken formerly bullied genius who researches very dull stuff in Oregon and definitely not anything weird. Their Ford would never break any rules or ignore safety measures [unlike that other student they heard about during their college years.]

And then Ford stops answering their calls and loses his grant. 

It’s time for an intervention and they start pestering Ford with letters and calls until he finally agrees to meet them at a science convention, but he’ll take his brother with him.

They’re relieved! Ford is with Shermie! They like Shermie! It's a good thing that Ford still has one brother who isn't a good for nothing selfish criminal who destroyed his entire future!

If they ever get their hands on Ford’s evil twin they’ll make sure he’ll regret ever messing with their friend. Ford is too nice for revenge. They aren’t.

Meanwhile at the not-yet Mystery Shack, the Stans freshly survived their own angsty canon divergent tale of two stans AU and locked Bill out of Ford's mind like a week ago.

Stan: I don’t know how long Ford will keep me around but this will be good for him. He needs some friends to take care of him after I inevitably get kicked out again!

Ford: I only agreed to this because Stan insisted and I still haven’t found a way to thank him and apologize. I hope all my “friends” die in a fire.

I want to explore the garden of Eden metaphor

In episode 5, Paytai and Charan had a talk about the Garden of Eden painting that Charan was doing for the king, about greed and wanting something more when it is forbidden.

@bronte-blues analyzed beautifully, through that original sin metaphor, what that painting and discussion means for each of them.

Last week, @historicallyaccurateweedshoppe noted how Khanin making everyone drink Davichmetha's apple-based cocktail in episode 6 could be seen as him successfully tempting them with the forbidden fruit.

Then @nabi-unveiled expanded on the garden's metaphor by looking at the gardens and territories of every family.

And I want to explore all that more in dept because there are a lot of elements that I think can be analyzed through this lens.

The first thing that should have caught my eye earlier is our dear Ava's name. It's less obvious when talking because it's pronounced more like 'Awa', but put in writing, it becomes very obvious that she's almost called Eve, doesn't it.

And it could be nothing. I don't know where the name comes from in Thai*. But with everything else we've noticed, it's hard to see it as just a coincidence. Like, they really gave us one (1) plot-relevant female character and named her Ava of all things.

Then we've got that entire scene in the bar from episode 6, which, as @historicallyaccurateweedshoppe pointed, feels like a direct reference to Genesis.

There are lots of parallels between Khanin convincing Ava to do things she's never done and the snake convincing Eve to bite into the forbidden fruit, and I'd like to look into it more deeply.

The temptation is in three parts, 3 elements Ava has never allowed herself to try:

Going out to the city/a club: Ava worrying about her father learning where she is

Drinking the apple-based Davicher cocktail: Ava explaining she's never tried the cocktail because she doesn't drink

Dancing: Ava asking "can we do that?" when Khanin proposes to hit the dance floor, like the thought has never even crossed her mind

And every time, Khanin has an answer along the line of "there's no harm in having a bit of fun". Which is enough, all three times, to convince Ava to follow his lead. I don't know if she's easily influenced or if she wants to try all these things, but the result is all the same: she bites into the apple.

And because Eve wouldn't be Eve if she didn't drag a man down with her, she gets the guys to follow suite.

You'll note that Calvin, Ramil, and Paytai are all there with them at the club, but it's Ramil specifically she asks to accompany them. And he agrees.

She gives a rather pointed look to Calvin when she says she'd rather watch others get drunk, which he clearly catches. And the man ends up black out drunk.

And when she gets up to dance, she asks first Calvin and then Paytai to come dance with them - and the second agrees.

That's 3/3. (Not counting Charan here because he's there for Khanin and only him)

I'm not saying that makes either of them Adam, I don't think it's that straightforward - though arguably, they're all Adam - but it's still noteworthy.

Then we've got Khanin and Charan.

Charan also succumbs to all three parts of the temptation, though arguably he came with them for security more than to have fun. But he does accept the drink and end up letting himself go a bit to dance with Khanin, so once again, Khanin wins.

Different level than with Ava, because he is trying to seduce Charan - but same level at the same time, because he is in part chipping at the same education to get them to relax and enjoy life a little.

And of course, we've got the sex scene at the end of episode 7, where Charan finally and fully lets himself succumbs to the temptation he was alluding to when talking about the painting. He gives in to Khanin and his desire for him, he bites the apple, fully, knowingly, purposefully which means he must now get kicked out of Eden.

While we're on the topic of Khanin as the tempter/the snake: the Serpent is of course the symbol of the Bhuchongpisut.

But Khanin's mother was a Bhunchongpisut too wasn't she? He is a Bhuchongpisut just as much (or as little) as he is an Assavadevathin.

(Ramil, in this metaphor, is less the snake than he is Lucifer. but that's a topic for another day)

The Garden of Eden, of course, is both the Palace(s) as a physical place as it is royalty as a concept, and God is King Thipokbowon Assavadevathin.

And everyone is stuck in said Garden (except jay. not sure yet where he stands in this metaphor but he's the only one not stuck in the garden and it will be relevant), in a golden cage of abundance and apparent power that should mean perfect happiness but also comes with arbitrary rules and hierarchy of power that prevent them from getting what they want (love, freedom, recognition, safety).

Which means they must leave or get cast out of the Garden/Monarchy to actually get what they want, which will come with freedom but also pain and loss.

And the need to work, funnily enough. As per the book of Genesis, when God casts out Adam and Eve from Eden, part of their punishment is that they most now work for sustenance, when they previously lived in perfect abundance. Just like young royals who were raised with a silver spoon in their mouth would suddenly need to work were they to be cast out of the royal family.

That dynamic between all of them, the fact that Khanin introduces the temptation but Ava is the one who gets the others to follow suite, is important because the forbidden fruit isn't just love. For Paytai and Charan it might be.

But for the heirs?

The forbidden fruit is the knowledge and freedom necessary to make their own choices. The forbidden fruit is agency.

And they are going to have to work together to get there, because one doesn't just get to walk out of the royal family/the Garden of Eden.

*if anyone has things to add about the meaning of the characters' names, I'd love to hear it! I know @visualtaehyun already explained how Ramil and Paytai's names relate to each other, but I'd love to learn more!

mentally they are still there

physically too.

the waswood has shifted, the gates of the collective dream memory have closed to everyone else. but they haven't returned.

it's been days.

this is the first event in the waswood we have actually participated in! :D and to the ghostie, it's. well. its a (literal) throwback to their first weeks of life. now reisz gets to (literally!1!) look back and trace everything they missed in the event & compare everything they didn't know then but do know now. but also, crucially,

they are being confronted with the fact that this empty-headed beginning might have been the happiest they've ever been and that's...

that's something to reflect on, isn't it?

that's something to think about.

bonus bc also rly liked this version
