Helloooo everyone! Name's Miles, but you can also call me Steven or even Bob tbh. 🇫🇷 And now an adult, still on Tumblr after many years...
I reblog random stuff, often related to my interests. I'll need to change my username, one day, maybe. My pronouns are He/They.
Public apology to all my mutuals with whom I never interacted, I love y'all, sorry for flooding your dash with random shit.
An unfortunate Tumblr mobile user, which means that if you send me an ask and I don't see it, it's not my fault I just can't make the app work 💀.
Wishing everyone a nice day! Love and peace🤞
What is it about the air in Europe what makes Misha Collins act like that edition. Yes those are quotes of his.

i want to share with you some of my favourite graffiti from Pompeii
“Weep, you girls. My penis has given you up. Now it penetrates men’s behinds. Goodbye, wondrous femininity!“
“Amplicatus, I know that Icarus is buggering you. Salvius wrote this.“
“We two dear men, friends forever, were here. If you want to know our names, they are Gaius and Aulus.“
“Floronius, privileged soldier of the 7th legion, was here. The women did not know of his presence. Only six women came to know, too few for such a stallion.“
“On April 19th, I made bread.“
“ I have buggered men.“
“If anyone does not believe in Venus, they should gaze at my girlfriend.“
“It took 640 paces to walk back and forth between here and there ten times.“
“Chie, I hope your hemorrhoids rub together so much that they hurt worse than when they every have before!“
“Epaphra is not good at ball games.”
“Two friends were here. While they were, they had bad service in every way from a guy named Epaphroditus. They threw him out and spent 105 and half sestertii most agreeably on whores.“
I've been replaying T&T and I gotta say, the parallels between Phoenix and Godot are uncanny.
The most glaring resemblance is that they're both so presumptuously convinced that they are the only ones who can and should have the responsability of saving the people they love.
Note also that their Japanese names, interestingly, both reference dragons - Ryuuchi and Souryuu respectively - but they do so in reverse : the first kanji for Phoenix and the last for Godot.
Godot wakes up after 5 years and learns that the love of his life was killed. He couldn't do anything about it because he was poisoned and thus out of commission.
Then he learns that said love of his life had taken on a protégé, and he also learns that the lovesick idiot willingly swalled the same poison that put him into a coma, and was swimmingly fine.
He is so pissed at the guy. Also envious. Phoenix was there. Why couldn't he be there instead? Why did the poison put him into a coma, and not that stupid lovesick fool?
He twistedly but most furiously hates the guy. Thus he crawls back from the deepest depths of hell.
But he knows, deep down, that the one he really hates is himself (not that he could have done anything about it, even if he had not been in a coma - but feelings are hardly logical)
Something Phoenix and Godot share is that twisted savior complex. Godot thinks he should have been the one to save Mia, Phoenix becomes a defense attorney because he thinks he is the only one who can save Miles, the only one who understands him (and then it's a slippery slope to wanting to save everyone ever, but that's beside the point). Both are quite presumptuous in these assertions.
But Phoenix was able to save Miles (in a way he hadn't expected) - Godot couldn't save Mia.
If Phoenix hadn't been able to save him, would he have ended up the same as Godot did? Remember, if he hadn't won that trial, Miles would have faced the death penalty. So, if the poison had worked and he was out of commission for 5 years, he would have been too late.
If you think about it, we had a glimpse of what Phoenix would have been like. When he thought Miles was dead, he snapped at Maya and told her not to speak his name in front of him ever again. He was also quite depressed for those months and refused to take on cases at first, cases of possibly innocent people who needed him. And when Miles came back, he snapped at Miles too.
Which leads me to my last point:
Both Godot and Phoenix resort to anger as soon as they're hurt as their form of dealing with grief.
They are so similar. One was just less lucky that the other.
Also by this logic you could say that miego is basically narumitsu with a bad ending, which makes me cry so hard darnit
edit: it's also fun to note that they both went crazy over someone they knew for less than a year. People call Phoenix ridiculous but Godot is basically the same kind of ridiculous
