yes elias bouchard is a bastard. yes being tricked into serving a primordial fear entity is unpleasant/severely traumatizing. but let's just for a second imagine the success he could have had if he were honest about the job conditions.
it's so diverse that a lot of the people there aren't even human! never worry about job stability again, you literally cannot leave this position! is murder allowed? arson? sure thing, just don't get caught!
we here at the archives do not value your safety first and foremost but neither does any other employer. yes the ceo is a bastard, but this time it's because he's serving a fear god and not just exploiting the working class.
it's exciting. different. before you had to worry about not making rent, now you just have to worry about the evil worm lady who wants to make you into a flesh hive.

the idea that ancient greek tragedy and mythology* are universal has hindered the way we read those texts so much. it encourages a superficial reading that separates eminently political genres from their sociohistorical context
*not talking about comedy bc most ppl ignore greek comedy, i feel

You know, I have decided to go through a route with Impa that does humanize her, and I know why I did that and I like that I did that, but honestly there's absolutely room to interpret her as a Majora-grade villain, and that would both make sense, be terrifying, and be very interesting to unpack too

idk if i stress enough how self sacrificial gen is. how bcs she can't die or can't sustain major injuries she simply thinks it's more or less something she should do, that she should take damage for someone who can't, make herself of use because maybe it will make it suck less and maybe it will make it all easier to accept.

WHICH SYMBOLIC FRUIT ARE YOU?
Cherry. (Man, this is going to need some tag rambling; because while it's what I suspected and it's very fitting in many ways, I need to address one element).
In popular culture, cherries have come to represent sensuality, sex, and seduction. In the cult classic, Twin Peaks, Audrey Horne expresses her sexual expertise by tying a cherry stem with her tongue. "Cherry" is also used to refer to the concept of virginity: why? I don't know to be honest, but here we are. Much like the cherry, you're a sensual person who enjoys all the creature comforts the world offers. You enjoy delicious food, dynamic relationships, passionate lovemaking and stimulating conversation; however, you may also come across a touch vapid or shallow, due to your quickly fading attention when something has served its usefulness to you. To quote some man on tinder: "you're here for a good time, not a long time". You can come across, at times, slightly tart, carrying a bit of a bite to you that not everyone can handle. That’s okay: you’re an acquired taste!

Steve is most likely to end up in a lavender marriage and Tony's most likely to end up in a “married for tax/immigration/inheritance fraud” reasons.
They meet as married men and pine for each other hardcore and are also trying not to read too much into how their interest seems reciprocated and oh nooooo both Immigration/the IRS and the the Church/in-laws/DADT era army dudes or whatever are snooping around at the same time at each of their marriages and they have to be so good at being married at the people they are married to oh noooooo and they other guy doesn’t know why they are suddenly being iced out and maybe they were just imagining things? maybe it’s for the best with all these eyes around on them…

Won’t ever really stop thinking about the line “I’ll be with [Rory], like I should be.” from The Angels Take Manhattan. Because like, that’s such a particular word choice, y’know? Should is not the same thing as “want to” - and I don’t necessarily think that Amy didn’t want to be with Rory, but I do think she didn’t want to have to permanently chose between one life and the other, TARDIS life and normal life. She knows that choice is coming, that she should choose, and specifically what she should choose. Her own daughter famously says that you can’t run with the Doctor forever. Rory is her husband, is safe and stable and constantly present, in a way the Doctor and the universe just cannot be. But that doesn’t mean she’s happy to make the choice, or that there’s no conflict in the decision. There’s a reason she’s crying when saying goodbye.
I think a lot of people just take for granted that Amy was fine like she said (“you know when grownups tell you everything’s going to be fine and you think they’re probably lying?”) or only view the tragedy of it all from the Doctor’s perspective - which in fairness, he’s the character we keep following, and the one whose struggle to move on we actually witness. But I can’t see Amy as just happily accepting her fate without at least some sort of processing of her grief happening beforehand. Like yes, TATM ending is completely her choice and she owns that, but just because she’s able to make that choice doesn’t mean she was really ready to or willing to without a literal paradox forcing her hand (“sometimes the only choices you have are bad ones, but you still have to choose”), and I think there’s a lot we’re not privy to between her tearful goodbye and her calm acceptance of things in the Afterword.
Amy’s a writer, a storyteller who understands the powers of words. And there’s a world of difference between “want to” and “should”.

also who's going to commit suicide? because you don't just drop a bomb like 105 and expect me to NOT think it's some kind of foreshadowing

It's so disappointing and unfair that some Minthara dialogue lines are just. Well. Gone? For example, she didn't say anything after Lae'zel was kidnapped by Orin, and I think she.. logically, should have something to say about it? Same as - after Astarion's ascension. She does comment on Shadowheart sacrificing her parents, but she doesn't say anything after Astarion ascends? Only before? THAT'S SO UNFAIR. Let my wife talk!! I want to know what she feels/thinks after Astarion becomes a vampire lord! Please!!
