It's the story of a man who walks to understand, and the more he understands, the bigger his head grows. He wants to know everything, even if it crushes him, even if it changes his body and swallows his eyes. He runs after the final answer, but every step creates a new question, like a hunger that never ends. Understanding can make you grow, but knowing too much might make you disappear.

What really adds to this post, to me, is the fact that OP says "a nail wound", which is a perfectly normal assumption, too, but the thing which was used to stab Jesus on the cross... was in fact... the coincidentally aforementioned Lance of Longinus. (From Evangelion)

Being raised by areligious jews with 0 exposure to christianity outside pop culture is so fun. One time I asked my ex-catholic friend why a picture of jesus had a bristle crown and she looked at me like I was insane. One time I heard someone mention the "lance of longinus" and responded, word for word, "Like from Evangelion?" One time during a history lesson my professor described an important monk and scholar as "Dominican" and I spent the rest of class super confused and hung up on it because I was very sure that the Dominican Republic didn't meaningfully exist as an entity back then, maybe she meant he was a native Taino or something but that's a weird way to say that and I'm pretty sure this was pre- European contact? Really fucks people up when they realize I genuinely have no idea.

Among the Weeds

What would you do if you woke up in the morning and suddenly could calculate the predictability of everything? What would you say if you could hear the words of others before they spoke them? What would it take to amaze you shock you with awe surprise you awaken you enlighten you or enrich you with this? Surely the knowledge of everything even if only for a moment before hand removes such…

Of the many things writers get wrong about the 80s, the worst thing, only because what it says about the world now, is that they think Steve couldn't afford to live alone on minimum wage. But you could. God, you really could back then. Shit, I was living alone in 2006 on $8.75 an hour. It used to be possible. Just another reminder that this is not normal.

Don’t think about the fact that’s it’s implied stiles has his mother’s eyes. That every time he looks himself in the mirror he sees her eyes looking back at him. That when he looks at himself with deep hatred he sees his mother calling him a monster. He sees her eyes as she tries to kill him. Somedays that’s all he can see. So he avoids looking at himself in the mirror.

Don’t think about seeing void with his mother eyes, eyes that once again hold violence.

Don’t think about stiles holding head in hands. Thinking that the only thing his body has left of his mother is his eyes. That maybe if he gets rid of them, then his father would be able to look at him again.

Slowly digging his nails through the skin above his eyes. Thinking about gouging his eyes out and giving them to his dad. But not being able to do it but using the action to ground himself. Repeating it again and again and again over the years. Leaving scars just above his eyes to give him something else to look at. Something else to see that isn’t his mother’s hatred looking back at him.

Don’t think about his father falling into alcoholism. Tiny 8 year old stiles thinking that his father is grieving, and so he drinks that night. And the night after that and the next. And the drinking isn’t stopping but instead becoming more frequent. Don’t think about stiles holding onto hope that his father might tuck him into bed instead of reaching for the bottle. Stiles picking up whiskeys from the floor with the same colour of his eyes. Don’t think about the moment stiles realizes that his father is trying to drown himself in hopes of reaching Claudia at the bottom. The moment when he has to come to terms with the fact that he might lose both of his parents.

Daisuke to me represents the type of person who you have to bottle up your pain around because they are ill equipped to handle it. He would realistically not know what to do realizing that among the people he idolizes one is this horrendous monster, especially since he is so optimistic to a hazardous level to himself.

This makes his relationship with Anya so upsetting because as much as he could confide in her she could never confide in him. That very conscious fact/choice on her part is a constant reminder of her suffering along with the hopeless inability to do anything herself about it that ruins her mental state more.

I suggest if Killie owns *any* perfume it's bc Pippa shared her CK one with him a couple of times and then got him his own for a "I don't have to think about this at all" xmas present.

If he owns two it's bc Derek got him something fancy and spicy on a friends' recommendation (Derek doesn't strike me as a Scents Guy as such??)

(Killie the jockey OC / post about what he smells like)

Oh NO! Assigned smell by Pippa

Sure Pippa. That’s not what words mean, but okay

Absolutely jumpscared by Goncharov trending after I wrote a whole paper for one of my classes on it.

Anyway, happy 50th anniversary to the greatest mafia movie of all time.
