"it's not gonna be as deep as you think" i was then shot 57 times.

I put togheter this little video for myself, and for the people who aren't exactly caught up with what happened today between devotions on stream. so here! Have some of the most important clips that i cut down from the stream ^-^

the fact that Mapicc mainly wanted to meet up so he could apologize for wronging Zam... and now that they have each other back, Mapicc just wants to leave. it's so.. doomed. Near the end i actually had my jaw on the floor. i could not believe what i was hearing, because from analyzing their every interaction you kinda know how highly they think of each other, and like, just how much care is there from both parties. but they have always operated on assumption that the other knew. Hearing Zam communicate that openly for the first time ever to Mapicc. is... WOW..... too bad that these are the circumstances.... GAHHH okay

hot take but juan would never have allowed lucrezia to be maritally raped in front of others while he watched. given how impulsive and reckless he is especially when any man outside his family is near his mother or sister (let alone when a man demands public humiliation of his sister), he might even kill the king of naples the moment he utters lucrezia's name with zero regard for "the good of the family." despite his concern for status and his obsession with meeting expectations to gain his father's approval, he would never tolerate such a violation of his sister's honor. because the situation isn’t just a petty insult to lucrezia but it's also a deeply personal insult to him. juan prioritizes personal honor and would react violently and immediately to any perceived slight against his family, disregarding political consequences (including his father's wishes.)

and then there's cesare, who is more tender and caring toward lucrezia than juan ever was. but he prefers careful planning over recklessness. as much as he desired to cut out the king of naples' heart, he ultimately prioritized his ambition to remain in his father's good graces hoping to gain control of the papal army even at the cost of his sister's public humiliation. he suppressed his feelings, stood by his father and allowed lucrezia to be humiliated while witnessing it as a form of self punishment while silently grappling with guilt for not standing up for her. lucrezia felt betrayed by the person she trusted most because she believed that cesare owed her the rage and protectiveness she desperately desired against the man who had made her feel violated. yet he left the situation unresolved and traveled to france to get married without taking action even though he could have avenged her by plotting the king of naples' death. instead, lucrezia took matters into her own hands by giving micheletto her approval to act.

and no this post isn't about who loved and cared for lucrezia more (since both brothers failed her in different ways). instead it's about how juan has always been an unstable fuck up who's destined to fall short of the family's expectations. his impulsiveness in situations where the family faces personal harm or humiliation could ruin everything for rodrigo. unlike cesare who aligns with their father's expectations and ambitions, juan lacks strategy and consistent awareness of their surroundings. it's why cesare is essentially their father's ideal protégé because he embodies everything their father ever desired in a son.

in juan's case, his actions have always been driven by a desire for his family's acknowledgment and love but he always uses flawed methods to protect them. methods rooted in his fixation on their honor rather than in fulfilling the family's ideals. this is why almost every attempt he makes has a tragic outcome and why he doesn't conform to their father's expectations and ambitions in the same way cesare does.

this chapter was crazy what do you mean once in a lifetime opportunity, what do you mean we are closer to the kinosaki secret, what do you mean wedding photoshoot, what do you mean you can literally see gero start to realize he's in love with kinosaki WHAT DO YOU MEAN

Silverflint most tragic romance on tv bc there’s no way it could get consummated with either of them making it out alive. Imagine you’re in love with someone and they’re in love with you and deep down you both lowkey know it but if either of you ever acknowledges or god forbid acts on it you’d both end up permanently in the psych ward and there’s no other possible outcome. “This is not what I wanted”. Steinberg and co were sick in the head for coming up with this

Bear with me:

When the Beatles arrived in Paris in January 1964, they stayed at the George V hotel.

John and Paul composed 3 songs there. One of them was "If I Fell".

Fast-forward to 1970s: John is writing a book called "Skywriting by Word of Mouth". One of the stories was about his hookup with a woman, but really with a man, as you can tell from the wording. John and the other person make love at… the George V hotel.

Tony Barrow (Beatles' press officer) on John & Paul

Full quote: "Yoko was a very strong influence on John. And she may be telling him that he could do better on his own [instead of writing with Paul again]. But I still think that at the back of John's mind would be this sort of...fascination of wanting to get back with the first girlfriend...in other words, to get back with Paul, that he had so much history with."

From the documentary The Beatles' Biggest Secrets

science of illusion s1 vs having one of the better friendship monologues. maybe better than youre like my favourite friend and i want you to be happy winger greats but the ethos of. ur like the anti-winger youre the heart of the group and im not good at the mushy stuff but if i was then we wouldn't need you and Jeff winger did it scared he did it mortified he did it with love. insane things to me (guy who wants his friends to love him no matter what) (guy sometimes overtaken by the ethos of jeff winger) hey man what if we were friends and loved each other and i implied that i bring people superficial joy the way a good punchline does and youre the underlying current of passion that holds people in for the setup. youre the suffocating torturous heat that people need to endure for my cold sharp gasp of relief to truly land. and i know it sucks and you hate it but i ask you to endure it nonetheless. because you'd hate it without me and i wouldn't be anywhere without you. im asking you to love it nonetheless so we can see this resolution together, not one that's promised but the one we can deliver together maybe with the shitty ropes handed through us. with the help of our good friend Sitcom TV. im saying the mental concrete playground of redstreet in my mind is one silly guy prancing around on the swingset saying people are saved thru tropes and love reaches people thru medium and this one time the medium is tv and it's just abed nadirs face on a poster in the back. im saying shhh. just watch. it's beautiful.
