no because these are deeply unwell

[leviismybby]

Imagine shipping Levi with another character/yourself/Oc: it must be exhausting and frustrating to see him so loyal and attached to a man you believe he doesn't love. You know who I'm talking about 🤭

What?

If you're talking about Erwin which I assume you are. Get stuffed with the truth that he didn't love Erwin or anyone romantically in canon. That doesn't change with your shitty-ass ability not to read the manga and watch the anime properly.

Also anon, hating on OC/self-shippers and people who ship Levi with other characters is truly bold considering the fact that your ship isn't canon either. Gtfo my blog, thank you.

Hunger Games characters and my interpretation of their Enneagram type (explained by Sleeping at Last's Enneagram songs)

Sejanus-"One" I, I want to sing a song worth singing / I'll write an anthem worth repeating

Peeta-"Two" I just want to love you, to love you, to love you well / I just want to learn how, somehow, to be loved myself

Finnick-"Three" It's so exhausting on this silver screen / Where I play the role of anyone but me

Lucy Gray-"Four" Flashlight in hand, determined to find / Authenticity only poetry could even begin / To try to describe

Beetee-"Five" I want to watch the universe expand / I want to break it into pieces small enough to understand / And put it all back together again

Katniss-"Six" I want to take shelter, but I'm ready, ready to fight / Somewhere in the middle, I feel a little paralyzed

Haymitch-"Six" Is it courage or faith / To show up every day?

Delly-"Seven" I'll find the silver lining / No matter what the price

Gale-"Eight" I was just a kid who grew up strong enough / To pick this armor up / And suddenly it fit

Johanna-"Eight" Now you won't see all that I have to lose / And all I've lost in the fight to protect it

Prim-"Nine" It looks like empathy / To understand all sides / But I’m just trying to find myself / Through someone else’s eyes.

Snow-"One" but he doesn't get Sleeping at Last he doesn't deserve it.

Season 5, Episode 6: The Shrine

I said I had to gather my thoughts before I would be able to write something coherent. I still don't know if I can do it justice. It's weird, but I hesitate to call The Shrine my favorite episode because it's so devastating. It's very shippy, it has phenomenal acting from everyone, the story is heartbreaking, it should be perfect - but it just hurts so much. If this is my favorite episode, what kind of masochist am I? (Don't answer that, that was rethorical.)

I'm placing this under a cut because this is gonna be long.

The cold open on this one is just brutal. Rodney is already pretty far gone, and he calls himself "Mr Rodney McKay" instead of Dr, because "doctors are smart, and he's not smart anymore". To know what's happening to you, to slowly lose your mental capabilities and to be able to still process what's happening, that's cruel. And then he's calling for John, and that's when I had to pause the video for the first time because the tears were already coming. The title sequence hadn't even started.

Fuck.

I lost my grandmother to Alzheimer's a couple years ago. She had a slow and steady decline and thankfully, it was one of those cases where she just forgot more and more, but without the mental anguish. She wasn't panicking, or aggressive, or even agitated. Just a smiling, sweet old lady, who in the end didn't remember how to sit or eat or breathe. When she died, I couldn't cry. I was too busy consoling my mother and aunt at the funeral. The first time I cried was when I rewatched The Shrine, years later. It just shook something loose in me. It's also the point where I decided that if I ever got diagnosed, and was still in a state to do something about it, I would end my life on my terms. I'm not putting anyone through that.

I remember Kate Hewlett saying in an interview that a lot of people on set where crying during those scenes because they had family members with dementia, and that she had to leave the room at one point because it hit close to home for her too.

At first I thought it was mean that everyone was like, "Yeah I realized something was wrong when Rodney was being nice to everyone", but then I thought, no, that's actually a good point. Because his friends were uncomfortable with alternate universe Rod (who was too suave and cool) and they're uncomfortable with a Rodney who is uncharacteristically nice. They love him as he is, not a polished version.

I know everyone is giving Dr Keller shit for not wanting to try the Shrine, but I really think it's because she's a doctor. I work with doctors, and almost weekly I have discussions about respecting a patient's advanced directive. I've had a doctor wanting to install a gastric tube in a patient who was at the end of their life. We had the advanced directive that CLEARLY stated they didn't want that. When I confronted the doctor, she was almost angry. "But they will starve! I can't let them starve!" Yes, you can, and you will, and you have to. The hardest thing for a medical doctor is to have to sit back and not be allowed to do something that might help the patient. I think that where she's coming from. There are treatments to be tried, and if Rodney is taken to the Shrine, all those other options stop. I still think she was wrong and I don't like her approach, but I think it's an explanation why she was acting the way she was.

And then we have Rodney running to John's room in the middle of the night because of course that is the first and only place he'd go. It hurt to watch him be so frantic and desperate. And John is right there for him, grounding him, telling him, I'm not going anywhere.

Beer On The Pier. Yes, you have to write it like that because this scene is a fixed point in time and a goddamn cornerstone of this ship.

Rodney, knowing this is probably the last night he'll be this lucid, wants to say goodbye. And John doesn't let him. Because Rodney's stuck with him until the end. He's not going to turn away, no matter how ugly it's going to get. The very thought of saying goodbye is so foreign to John that he doesn't even want to discuss it. "That's final."

(Also, just for aesthetics alone, the night shots of the city are beautiful.)

I'm trying to be a bit less rambly, but what can you do when you have this masterpiece of an episode?

In the cave, when Rodney is intense pain, John has his arm around him the whole time and doesn't let go until he is himself again.

I love how everyone is so caring and surrounds him with love.

And ugh, the surgery - with fucking power tools. Barbaric. But necessary. But man, to hold your friend's head in your hands, holding him still, while a literal drill is going into his skull? I'd have passed out.

The only tiny little thing that was a bit jarring was Rodney's confession to Jennifer at the end, and just because for me, it came a bit out of left field. But I am nothing if not good at ignoring things that I don't like, so I'll just refer to fanfics that fix this. No harm done.

And finally.

David Ian Hewlett.

Holy fuck, dude.

HOW are you not buried under a shitload of Emmys? How is there not a whole wing of your house dedicated to housing the tons of awards you should have gotten for this? (I know he did get quite a few, but I'm talking custom built shelves in at least four rooms. Minimum.)

Everyone brought their A game acting wise, but this guy knocked it out of the park. It was heartbreaking, moving, extremely believable, and just jaw-dropping. David is, in my opinion, one of the best, if not the best actor of the franchise, and I don't say that lightly. I have a massive crush on Joe Flanigan and he's great, same with Amanda Tapping, but David is just fantastic.

So yeah. There you have it. My very concise, totally normal opinion of this episode. I doubt anyone reads all of this, but hey, this is my tumblr and I do what I want.

If you did indeed sit through all of this, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Feel free to tag or reply or add stuff.

hoyoverse really love edging us for tartaglia content huh

[songforeddiemunson]

Is it just me or is Joe very...Eddie-shaped in the new pics? Disclaimer as usual, my speculation about his weight is solely rooted in the interview in which he said he lost weight to play Eddie because he figured Eddie should be lankier, implying that for Eddie's return, he would have lost weight again to portray him.

And he was on that con in Portland mid January too 🤔 And while he's been cast in that X Men movie, filming for it won't start for a while so...we actually don't know what exactly he's doing right now. Not in any stage plays, the Gladiator sequel and A Quiet Place have finished filming a while ago...👀

👀

I read somewhere that the Fantastic Four is supposed to start shooting in August. I've always wondered if he would have to do one of those crazy superhero training routines to prepare; five months isn't a ton of time, unless he's known about the casting for a long time (but word on the street says that he's the one who actually held up the casting announcement, so... 🤔).

I dunno how one would juggle being in Eddie shape vs Johnny Storm shape so close together, so that's something to consider. Man, I dunno how actors do it! Gaining, losing, bulking, losing...it must be exhausting.

I know I answered nothing, but this is the mental gymnastics my brain does lol 🤣
