i'm such a big fan of laios using being well fed as proof that he's serious. like there's so many techbros & etc who will use not eating breakfast as proof that they're productive & just in general, the idea of being "too busy to eat" is getting more common (which is exactly what toshiro is doing here!) but laios is like. no. i'm so serious about this i'm thinking about what comes next. i'm so serious about this i'm making sure my body can do everything it can when i need it.

the fact that everyone in the party took care of themselves & carefully planned out their route & when they'd take breaks is what made them so successful. they always made sure to understand their limits

rest energy

I love you, and that means you rule me, Anna, and I will make you pay for it, even just in this. / Allow your belief in me to override the doubt you have in yourself. / We are going to hurt each other. Remember? The leash, pulling both ways?

in the silt verses i think that prayer marks to the saint electric should resemble transmission pylons as viewed from below

the more complex the sigil, the more powerful a conduit for her current it is

oh my fucking god

the paige-faulkner parallel-foils continue to beat me up

[julesdap]

everybody talks about and memes on the euphoria-and-tragedy of carpenter and faulkner becoming siblings when you forgot to consider that faulkner had killed his sibling before but ALSO. have any of you guys ever stopped and. just. thought about em.

thought about carpenter's brother giving himself up to the trawler-man body and soul. in a decision that made sense inasmuch as keeping his faith went, but was also wildly destructive and hurt people and more importantly, left his sister fully alone in the world. when she had already lost Everything else she held dear.... em's death as one of the things that most firmly shaped carpenter's tumultuous relationship with her own faith n the trawler-man, the miracles after he died and the helpless "you took everything from me" anger/grief combined.....

do you ever think about em as a man willing to give up everything for his god. including his sister. who loved him more than anything.

and then. DO YOU THINK ABOUT FAULKNER-

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:

I don't know who they are [the people buried]. Every time I pass by here, I stop and say hello. We found them weeks ago lying and covered in their own blood in the middle of the road, two young men in the flower of their youth seemed as if they are sleeping. We buried them in the eastern region of Al Saraya.

I am sorry to all the unidentified martyrs. I am sorry to every martyr we did not bury till now. I am sorry to all the martyrs we couldn't register the names of or save their pictures. I am sorry to every martyr who offered his soul for the land [Gaza/Palestine] and wasn't given his own grave to rest in. I am sorry to my friend Refaat @/itranslate123 who has been under the rubble for 40 days and still is. I am sorry once to the martyrs we know, and a thousand times for those we don't.

END OF TRANSLATION

The idea of having a loved one killed and buried without my knowledge is terrifying. However, it is the reality of many Palestinians who bury unidentified martyrs, and the Palestinians who cannot find their family members and do not know whether they're still alive or not. We must keep talking about Palestine, and we just keep exposing the crimes of the Israeli occupation!

i looooove characters who are sacrificial lamb coded. characters who have never lived for themselves. characters born to be a tool, a weapon, a sacrifice, all of the above. a character raised by the heroes to save the world, at any expense, even their own health, even their own life. a character raised by the villains to end the world, at any expense, even their own health, even their own life. characters who are denied personhood so they can be used as tools instead. characters who never even had a chance to be people because they were shaped into something else from the moment they were born. characters who were born to die.

you know that arundhati roy quote that goes "can the hungry go on a hunger strike? non-violence is a piece of theatre. you need an audience. what can you do when you have no audience? people have the right to resist annihilation” but now i realise sometimes your audience are just people who will witness your annihilation and simply choose to say that unfortunately your blood greases the wheels of the world and simply register the fact that they have witnessed and condemned your annihilators as their duty while disavowing any attempt you make at resistance. palestinian journalists can broadcast till the end of their world and it would not move the needle on this kind of audience.

while i'm still on my bullshit about VAL siltverses can we talk about the body horror of being a saint that she bears. like okay it's not the cronenbergian videodrome-esque transformations of human into conduit of godly power undergone by the majority of other saints, but it's still a massive violation of her autonomy and personhood. she tells us that her skin is branded with marks overlapping marks that shift and spread with each new lie she tells. the implied double meaning of "branded" in a world like the silt verses, where corporate gods are the most ubiquitous kind, only further emphasises the indignity of what was done to her. if she were ever to question what she is, who she is, she would find herself undefinable by nature of her very existence as the embodiment of a liar's god. and she's retained self-awareness enough to question her personhood in the first place. her body is not her own, but that of the woman who was tortured to death to create her. what would she see if she looked into a mirror? would she even be able to recognise her own reflection?
