i think what really sells me on brocedes is the fact that they still, to this day, live in the same building. isn't that crazy??? your ex best friend with whom you had a very public falling out with still lives in the same building as you. no one told them to stay there, they chose to do that!!! like nico, i understand. he's got a wife and kids. it'd probably be too much work to uproot them and move somewhere new. but lewis? every time i blink that man is at a new fashion show or fuckin hanging out with shakira. he does not have to live there!!! he does not have to live two floors away from his ex childhood best friend!! and like i know for a fact that there are other luxury condos or apartment or whatever in monaco!! he does not have to do this!!!
What if The Spider God has (at least from Pete's perspective) tangibly "helped" him in fights before.
Like, his Spideysense is good and he's damn quick, but sometimes not quick enough, and he's felt this tug before that's pulled him just out of the way of a gunshot, a knife, to behind walls so he isn't spotted by police, and he can see this spiderweb thread briefly bound to him, puppeting him, like a marionette only loosely given control.
And then it's gone. He rubs at where it was tied to him, and there's nothing there. Is he sure of what he saw?
man I sure do hope people who say that trans people don't have to present hyper-binary or be passable are normal about masc/butch trans people, including trans women who don't want surgeries or hrt or use she/her pronouns. Man I sure do hope they don't just mean femme trans men and exclude trans women and nonbinary masculine people. Man I sure do hope that they aren't super fucking weird about masculinity, especially when performed by trans women.
i cut my pinky really badly yesterday (didnt hurt!! just had to get stitches) and i got a clip of the incident where i let out an almost comical tom and jerry scream
not being able to rest my pen on my pinky while drawing has been destroying me though
Select bits from Sir John's funeral that I just love...
So we have Crozier reading out the part about Jacob dreamed about a ladder, set upon the earth, "and the top of it reaching to the heavens"...
...as we see Collins and Stanley, the two characters whose mental health is a defining part of their character arcs.
Then, "Behold the Lord stood above it and he said, 'I am with thee ...'" as the focus shifts to Goodsir.
"'... and will keep thee in all places, wherever thou goest'".
Goodsir, who later questions "is God here?"
The following line and shot are "'for I will not leave thee'" as we see Jopson and Blanky.
The two men Crozier left. Blanky knew Crozier was, just earlier that day, planning to leave them. Jopson likely knew, as it's remarked later that he knows everything, and perhaps he's the one who tidied away the unsealed letter and wax.
Then the Terror lieutenants, with MacDonald too. "And in Jacob's dream he saw the invisible world, companion to the known one we perceive."
The men who were privy to Crozier's alcoholism, and were part of maintaining that separation between officers and men... but also Hickey and Irving 'perceived' Hickey's true nature.
So, of course, when we have: "So complete it would seem to leave no room for its invisible brother world" as we see Hickey...
that otherness, that not belonging, keeping out of sight, experiencing thing in such a different way but no one notices or even thinks it's there...
And then going back to a shot of the men gathered at Sir John's funeral. "The departed..."
"...who though cleaved from the frame that carried them yet live." They are all departed. Dead. Crozier is the only one who doesn't die, but he certainly doesn't 'stay' in the world he's expected to.
The contrast of the words of virtue and strength, from scripture and used to describe Sir John and saying he's "destined to reign with Christ forever", being heard as we see Hickey in Gibson's cabin.
The white glove over the hand that will offer up Hickey's tongue, his left hand reverently touching the spot, the fact that, all that time later, Hickey has come to believe that he can be a new god and reign...
Finally, for this post, we have "and see His truth amongst us" as Hickey reads Crozier's resignation letter, discovering the truth of Crozier's actions.
And not one of them is god, or has the truth. They are all in this terrible place where the sun has set, in this strange world they don't understand, in this "invisible world of spirits".
There's so much in this scene, so many links, that I just lose my mind every time.
i would like to project for a moment and who else but my one and only jason grace to carry this weight cause i believe we share many a qualities
i’m an absolutely horrible gift giver n so is he don’t argue but obviously he still wants to do something special for his friends that shows how much they mean to him
so for leo’s birthday (and pipers too) he makes them a book with a letter appreciating their relationship, a very long list of reasons he loves them, a shitty poem that’s more of a comedy, and a collage of moments together with lots of cute photos (also pages of funny stickers !!!)
he ties it all together with a cute string and their names written all pretty on the front. piper and leo have them safe in their room as their most prized possession
jack and crutchie both unquestionably have doing quick headcounts of their boys down to a fine art
it’s instinct for them, when everyone is together, to stretch tall and run through everyone, make sure everyone’s accounted for. they can do it in seconds, and notice immediately if someone’s out of place.
Now that the eye theory is popular does it ever bother you that some people who talk about it on other platforms act like it’s their own original idea?
I would want credit if I were you!
🙈 ive seen a tiktok where they not only presented it like their idea but they used screenshots from my blog and spoke out paragraphs that i wrote! and gave no credit! yikes! the second hand embarrassment…
that said, technically it’s not my idea, i am simply the number one champion of the theory and author of the original post explaining it on behalf of the lovely person who first had the idea, @swift-79 . i guess i’ve wrote about it extensively as well.
but yeah. idk 🤷🏻♀️ 😂 at the end of the day i sleep well knowing taylor and karlie know where it came from :)
