i love applying the song downhill by lincoln to characters. both as a literal thing (falling to their death) or as a metaphorical thing (fall from grace)

hanne (trying to recall a fun childhood story): did you tell them about the zipline
matthias: i did tell them about the zipline
jesper: he told us about the zipline
hanne: then why do you all look so upset
wylan: sorry, to clarify, are you referencing the zipline designed to kill children?
hanne and matthias at the same time, still not sure why people don't think that the zipline story is funny: yes
nina, walking back into the room after getting a glass of water: why does everyone suddenly look so concerned did matthias bring up his childhood summer camp's illegal fucking zipline again

Another thing that bothers me abt the show is the way they just took phrases and things from the book that had actual significance or meaning and just used them as a one off line or Easter egg that completely changed the context or misses the point of what those things were supposed to mean if that makes sense? They did it with the investment line by trying to make it romantic and were like ‘haha remember when kaz said investment in the books’ while completely ignoring that that line was NEVER supposed to be romantic like at all, they did it with the white rose when they could have used literally used any other brothel when the white rose canonically wasn’t like that, they did it with the ‘crows remember human faces line’ ignoring that it was completely out of place and kind of cheapens kaz’s development later on. Like I get that you can’t clearly explain what everything means but at the same time it feels like they missed the point of these things so badly and were just trying to cater to fans without thinking about why the fans were so interested in the books in the first place
I hated this trend so so much about the show. My fav offense was that one episode title, "The Heart Is An Arrow", when show!Inej hasn't said A SINGLE PROVERB in the entire runtime bc the writers forgot she is supposed to be all wise and elegant, and then the title didn't even have anything to do with the episode's plot when the proverb plays the center role in Inej's character journey in the books. The examples you mentioned are all horrible misinterpretations of characters and I am so angry at them bc it means the lines won't be used once the time for them comes. This is what my nightmares are made of

I am caught constantly between oversharing about mental health stuff online so I can talk about it with others and maybe feel less like I’m the only one who feels like this, and never wanting to say anything ever and never be perceived by another living human.

its like. the recurring violence of it all!! the last generations of the roman republic, snake eater/peace walker/phantom pain, none of you ever stood a fucking chance! the rot of military imperialism already doomed you!!!! you are trying to fix a decaying corpse, but the putrid flesh from the limbs is sloughing off in your hands!!! assigning a higher ideal, a fantasy, to the economy of war/imperialism/political violence won't change what it is!! do you think love can bloom on a battlefield? yeah, but it sure as hell won't save any of you! it will make you cannibalize each other**
**love wins for dave and otacon tho
