you’re serving cunt scully? you’re doomed by the narrative and your serving cunt?

sauron becoming the melkor parallel in his relationship with celebrimbor. Sauron becoming the devil of a Faust-and-the-devil pair.

When he’s hurting Celebrimbor he’s hurting a parallel of himself. He’s seeing himself and going “I have to fucking kill that. I have to kill that brutally”

I love Matt and Wilson’s dynamic so much. Like I have so much rage toward you. Somehow you keep getting in my way. No matter how hard we try to stay apart and exist in our own separate worlds, we always end up back together. I want to destroy you. I would take a bullet for you. I have to hold you accountable even if that means destroying my world. I can’t put our past behind us.

I had an epiphany about doomed by the narrative vs cosmically linked ship dynamics so now this venn diagram exists. please add more if you think of any I feel genuinely insane

to clarify: cosmically linked means there has to be some force in-universe that ties the characters together, such as time travel, soulmate indicators, AUs, cosmic nonsense, etc. this has to be literal, not metaphorical. fantasy/sci-fi settings also don’t automatically mean the characters are cosmically linked. these tropes often coalesce with doomed by the narrative but not always!

doomed by the narrative means that the characters are inescapably and inevitably tragic. they usually have the same energy as ancient greek myths or shakespearean drama. as such, they cannot have a happy ending together — it’s either downright tragic or ambiguous. there also doesn’t have to be any cosmic nonsense involved for the ship to be doomed

Doomed by the narrative together... platonically (I can talk about them for hours but nobody has the patience including me so I'll settle on 'besties')

They're actually so silly it's carving out my insides and causing me excruciating pain that my mortal body is not capable of processing

idea or inspiration ig??

I love nagitos hair and skinny ass legs and how chiaki is leaning to him they're adorbs

i dont think anyone was ever as doomed by the narrative as ford pines was

if I wasn’t meant to be romanticising the relationship between Cain and Abel to the point of blasphemy, then why are they the perfect example of doomed siblings meant to see each other in everything?

Sorry Sam, coffee theory law states that Celia cannot legally drink coffee while actively investigating the Magnus Institute. I don’t make the rules

I hate how hard it is to come up with character names because how am I supposed to make character playlists that make me even more insane about my own OCs WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO PUT THEIR GOTDAMN NAMES IN THE PLAYLIST TITLE??!

i think THE number one thing that gets me about ocelhira actually (nine year gap era specifically) is that you go into it expecting one thing and end up with the opposite bc like. the whole thing happened bc kaz tried to rip off the illuminati and failed catastrophically right. of all the backstories in mgs kaz's feels the most human. and then ocelot is this untouchable mysterious almost inhuman triple(+) agent spy with all the answers and information up his sleeve. and then as time goes on and the farther that they get from big boss the more you realize that the situation is opposite. kaz is actually the ruthless one. ocelot is actually a bit pathetic. it's so good.
