_____

“Are you sure you don’t want me to come with you?”

“Quite.”

“I’m free. All day, every day. That’s kind of the problem we’re trying to solve.”

“I am aware.”

“You’d really be doing me a favor.”

“Veth.” Caleb’s hands wound behind his head and caught hers, stopping her in the middle of plaiting a gold thread down the back of his hair. He pulled her around to face him; she let the braid slip from her fingers and unravel.

Caleb had been sitting on the floor of his room to let her do his hair, so they were face to face, eye to eye. He had very nice eyes. Veth didn’t get to see them up close very often.

“I won’t pretend I don’t want you there,” he said. “I always want you there. But the details we’ll be sharing… they are awful, and they are sordid, and I know you won’t judge me. I know. But I don’t want to see you hearing them.”

“Why not?”

Caleb brushed her hair softly from her face. “Because it would be painful. That’s all.”

Looking ahead for LoLiLo Daily, the biggest thing I think the rewatch metas probably got wrong: yeah, "Oh Brother" is probably about Kit and Freddie. (Though well suited to point out the parallels with Balth's situation.)

Come to think of it, I may have said this the last time I rewatched, didn't I?

[beatriceeagle]

I listened to "Stay" for the first time in a long time on my walk to the bus this morning, and was once more overcome by how well it conveys the emotions of simultaneously the period in time it was written about, the period of time it was written in, and the period of time it was performed in. Love it love it love it.

LLL Rewatch: “RULES”

First, a bit of business. @jaylocked​ points out that I was wrong when I said that “TOWN” is the only time in the series that Balthazar holds the camera; he also holds it, briefly, in “Boyet’s Brownies: A Tutorial.” That’s what @marydebenham​ and I get for only watching “Boyet’s Brownies” twice.

Second, this meta is going to be a bit different from the ones we’ve been doing so far. “RULES” is a deceptively complicated video. It’s the most plot-heavy video in the entire series, and yet it’s entirely character-driven. It was, very likely, the video that the entire concept of Lovely Little Losers was constructed to justify. Everything in the series either leads to, or stems from, the events of this video. If “BALTHDAY” and “FELLOWSHIP” are feats of logistics, and “TOWN” is a feat of editing, “RULES” is something even more ambitious: Four characters, in a room, pursuing four separate motivations that lead not only believably, but inevitably, to the most ridiculous set of rules a flat has ever imposed upon itself.

“RULES” is a collision of strategizing, selfishness, ego, and anger that looks more like Survivor than Shakespeare–and I mean that in the best way. It should be played in sociology classes when they’re discussing group dynamics. It should be played in writing classes when they’re discussing character motivation. Writing four characters working at cross-purposes in a scene is hard; writing four characters working at cross-purposes such that they advance the plot in a particular way without ever stepping out of character is basically impossible.

What I’m saying is that “RULES” is way too complicated to analyze the way we’ve been doing the previous metas. So what we’ve done is something like what @marydebenham and I did for “FEATHERS”: a beat-by-beat analysis of what the characters do, why they do it, and what it all means.

Obviously that’s super long, so more is under the cut.

Obsessed w Peter Donaldson. You're telling me he was up until 4 am drinking too much and getting into a fight with the boy he loves, then woke up the next day in time to show up very sweet and earnest for a MORNING audition for a random play on campus with a very intense man? While HUNGOVER?
