#a rejection

Hey if you're still playing the game. Choose only one Ok 2x09 brio scene or 4x06? Also the 2.09 pre bedroom break bar scene oooor can't remember the episode number but it's the scene in S2 where they're on the bench and it's soo sunny and Rios being all smiley aka the cutest scene 🥺

Hey! Oh my god, you really chose violence with this one, anon, haha.

Mmmm, okay, are we choosing pre-physical intimacy? So 2.09 pre-bedroom, 4.06 pre-Rosa's bookshelf and the picnic bench scene in 2.08? Because if we are, it's super tight, but I think I'd give it to 4.06.

To me, it's a matter of where the new ground is, the new territory claimed and tread and felt, and I think in 2.09, that was ultimately in the bedroom. It was in the physicality of that first-last kiss and the tenderness, the uncertainty, and the awkwardness of it as an act that Rio thought was a start and Beth needed to be an end.

4.06 is different in that sense, their physical intimacy is a reset, sure, but it's also not new. What's new is Beth at that table beside him, the way he opened a door and let her inside in a way that he hadn't done since he showed up at the park with Marcus in 2.01, and the intimacy there is in the trust, in letting her into this part of his life, and in the way he touches her back. What's more, is that yeah, maybe it's a little manipulative - he suspects she's informing on him after all - but it's not entwined with an ending like 2.09 was, or, god, even 2.04, given Beth wasn't expecting to actually see him again.

It was something given freely albeit not entirely openly, and I think we saw the impact of that on both of them, but especially Beth, who, as s4 went on to show, finally started seeing moments like that as beginnings too.

And I mean, look, I adore that moment in 2.08 too (the domesticity! the way he says he'll take care of it!! 😭) but it can't compare for me! 2.09 and 4.06 are both just IT.

Make me choose between things!

When I was a kid my family pretended to get raptured so I would think I was left behind on earth while they all went to heaven.

I was like 8 years old and my sister and mom had gotten really into the Left Behind novels (bible fan fic about the rapture). In the books when the rapture happened the clothes that people were wearing when they got raptured were left behind in neatly folded piles.

One day when I was getting home from school my family decided that they would leave piles of neatly folded clothes around the house, and then hide in the basement.

The intended effect was that I would get home and see the clothes then, think that my family had been raptured and that I wasn’t good enough to get into heaven… or something?

The problem was that I had never read these books, and didn’t really think about the rapture very often. There was no reason that I would see some laundry on the floor and think “The rapture happened and I’ve been abandoned by God! I’ll never see my family again!! Oh nooo!!!!”

I just sat down and watched cartoons and eventually my family got bored and revealed that they were all hiding in the basement.

It’s a good thing I didn’t understand the joke, otherwise that shit would have been traumatic.

I have feelings about how these two are mirror opposites in reaction to monstrous trauma.

I think people need to be more comfortable with illegalism and I’m not kidding. Of course the more legal something is, the safer and easier it is to do, but the more people who disregard the law, the harder it is to enforce. There are plenty of laws on the books that people just ignore and are never or rarely policed.

Becoming more comfortable with little illegal activities makes you more comfortable with bigger more important illegal activities. Additionally, it is crucial to build a wall of silence. Nobody talks everybody walks.

People who give out food without a permit, hold a march without a permit, grow a garden without a permit, are more likely to be people you could turn to to work with on preventing an eviction, or keeping people out of cop hands, or helping your friend Jane get crucial healthcare when it’s not legal in your state.

Communities comfortable with these acts won’t call the cops, and then nobody knows that it’s happening.

People have got to shift from both the idea that lawful = good/ illegal = bad, and that the illegality of something means that’s the end of it, and the only fight left is to make it legal again.

"How did Shuro think he could marry Falin when he hated her brother?" you have to understand. Toshiro is from a whole different country. In his head he and Falin would move back to the Eastern Archipelago and they'd see Laios twice a year tops. You can pretend to get along with in-laws you don't like for a few days a year, people do that all the time.

The actual flaw in his plan– which shows he doesn't really understand either of the Touden siblings– is the fact that if the plot hadn't happened and Falin had for some reason said yes to his proposal, Laios would have packed his bags and moved away with them instantly.

the fact that eric kripke isn't even christian really adds something to the way christianity is depicted on supernatural. because its really not about being christian at all, but about living in america, a country dominated by christianity, and having to decide for yourself how to handle that. faith is huge in supernatural, and the mythology of the show is very bible-centric, but notably, christ is never there. even sam, who starts out revering the angels, who once said he prays every night, doesn't actually call himself a christian or imply that he believes in jesus--the show is steeped in christianity and biblical lore and yet neither sam nor dean are christians. in fact, over and over again the church itself is depicted as a haunted house that sam and dean will only ever enter as strangers, as outsiders. priests, preachers, faith healers, chapels, crypts, etc. are all just iconography that create an intense sense of unease that sam and dean respond to instantly. as a jew, its very relatable. an essential part of living in america when you're not christian is that exact sense of unease, of knowing that the culture of your country has ensured that you'll get knocked over by christianity no matter where you go, that you'll see hundreds of people truly believing they're good people while doing awful things in the name of their god, and you have no choice but to confront that. kripke gets it
