This is probably the dumbest feeling I’ve had so far surrounding Versailles lmao, but I saw the pics of the new Marie Antoinette series, of people standing in the Hall of Mirrors and like... I suddenly got hit with a wave of sadness that all the characters in Versailles that we love would be dead at that point. Is that stupid? Like... Versailles is a show based on real life people who are already dead and have been for a very long time at this point. I obviously went into the series knowing this. Not a one has ever been alive while I have been alive.
And yet... suddenly I just felt sad.

Vault of Knowledge got me really sad while seeing spirit’s memories but these two in particular just made me so so sad.
And others in that place, I really loved their backstories and how they all became friends even after losing important people.
They found light within each other and I think it’s so beautiful.
Found family trope never disappoints

I caught up with Dracula Daily today and never realized before that Jonathan expected Dracula to potentially be in his room when he scaled the wall and jumped in through the window, like was he going to throw hands upon entry or what

poseidon surrendering to zeus the second he sees his son in danger is my FAVORITE THING EVER. like gods have such massive egos so surrendering is a BIG deal but the fact that even tho poseidon hasn’t been very active in percy’s life he’s still willing to sacrifice his public image for his son is such a big deal and i love that they added it

stultifera navis rerun AKA thinking about Iberia hours again because a lot of the Iberians have such fascinating relationships with the concept of home but specifically Thorns and Lumen are eating at my brain. like where do you call home when the place that is your home Just Fucking Hates You? Elysium's rewinding breeze specifically makes a point to hammers home how differently Iberia treats its Liberi and its Aegir
(which is especially interesting since this comes right after a conversation where Purestream commented on how despite Leizi being a high ranking government official, there are still some experiences that are universal for all Yanese people - because the experience of what Iberia itself is like isnt universal for all Iberians)
But all that being said, Thorns also straight up states that Aegir is not his home, and yeah, how could it be? How could a place you've never been to, never truly known, ever be your home? How could it ever feel like a home?
so where do you go when the place that you are from hates your people and the place your people are from is completely unfamiliar and alien to you? Thorns' answer at the end of the conversation with Aya is: my home is where i chose it to be. my home is where there are people I care about and people who care about me
in the complete opposite direction, Lumen's oprec asks: why do you still stay in a place that wants you gone? because the people of Gran Faro like Jordi well enough but when push comes to shove, they will want the only Aegir in town gone
and yet, when Rald the messenger offers him a chance to leave Jordi turns him down and when he's forced to escape Gran Faro after the people there literally try to send him to his death (or worse) at the hands of the Inquisitors he keeps trying to go back because like everyone in stultifera navis, Jordi is clinging to his own dreams of a golden age
but the shape of that dream is unique to every character and for Jordi, his dreams are deeply, inseparably bound to the Eye of Iberia, the legacy his parents left behind
and it's this dream of becoming someone great, of bringing about that golden age that his parents devoted their lives to help create that ties Jordi to this nothing town because despite everything, despite the mistrust of the townsfolk and the hostility of the Inquisition and the danger from the ocean, he simply cannot leave it behind
(or, because i personally dislike the official translation,)
"I just see this place as my home"
so yeah. not sure what overall point i was trying to make here i'm just. deeply in love with these stories about chosing what is and isn't your home, of saying you will not call a place your home because it has given you no reason to or saying you consider a place your home even though it has given you every reason not to. deeply unwell about them <3
