Phoenix - Godot parallels

I've been replaying T&T and I gotta say, the parallels between Phoenix and Godot are uncanny. The most glaring resemblance is that they're both so presumptuously convinced that they are the only ones who can and should have the responsability of saving the people they love. Note also that their Japanese names, interestingly, both reference dragons - Ryuuchi and Souryuu respectively - but they do so in reverse : the first kanji for Phoenix and the last for Godot. Godot wakes up after 5 years and learns that the love of his life was killed. He couldn't do anything about it because he was poisoned and thus out of commission. Then he learns that said love of his life had taken on a protégé, and he also learns that the lovesick idiot willingly swalled the same poison that put him into a coma, and was swimmingly fine. He is so pissed at the guy. Also envious. Phoenix was there. Why couldn't he be there instead? Why did the poison put him into a coma, and not that stupid lovesick fool? He twistedly but most furiously hates the guy. Thus he crawls back from the deepest depths of hell. But he knows, deep down, that the one he really hates is himself (not that he could have done anything about it, even if he had not been in a coma - but feelings are hardly logical) Something Phoenix and Godot share is that twisted savior complex. Godot thinks he should have been the one to save Mia, Phoenix becomes a defense attorney because he thinks he is the only one who can save Miles, the only one who understands him (and then it's a slippery slope to wanting to save everyone ever, but that's beside the point). Both are quite presumptuous in these assertions. But Phoenix was able to save Miles (in a way he hadn't expected) - Godot couldn't save Mia. If Phoenix hadn't been able to save him, would he have ended up the same as Godot did? Remember, if he hadn't won that trial, Miles would have faced the death penalty. So, if the poison had worked and he was out of commission for 5 years, he would have been too late. If you think about it, we had a glimpse of what Phoenix would have been like. When he thought Miles was dead, he snapped at Maya and told her not to speak his name in front of him ever again. He was also quite depressed for those months and refused to take on cases at first, cases of possibly innocent people who needed him. And when Miles came back, he snapped at Miles too. Which leads me to my last point: Both Godot and Phoenix resort to anger as soon as they're hurt as their form of dealing with grief. They are so similar. One was just less lucky that the other. Also by this logic you could say that miego is basically narumitsu with a bad ending, which makes me cry so hard darnit edit: it's also fun to note that they both went crazy over someone they knew for less than a year. People call Phoenix ridiculous but Godot is basically the same kind of ridiculous

So I finally watched Sense8. I regret not watching it sooner for a couple reasons. But I'm so glad I finally watched it.

The canine really shouldn't be surprised that Volt was essentially handing him the wheel. It was obvious his lack of good experience with sex left a lot to be explored, and the hybrid was the type to let his partners dictate the pace. Which is how he found himself in this current situation, the only familiarity being his position on his back.

Diego laid half propped up against the headboard, pillows at his back while his partner was sat between his legs that were half bent at his sides. Volt's hands rested rather neutrally on his hips, waiting patiently for the spirit guide to make a move.

Eventually, he lets instinct and prior fantasies take over, and hesitant hands gently come to circle Volt's wrists beginning to pull them up from his hips. One's journey stops at his chest, his own palm resting over Volt's, gently applying pressure that manages to send a little shiver through him.

The other is brought all the way up to his cheek, turning his head into the metal palm, something like a comfort to himself. His face burned hot as a shuddering sigh left him. One bright silver eye cut to the side to look at the elder mobian.

Thank You

It's not for complaining and it's not for bragging... but it takes quite an effort to put together a post with good quality pictures. I didn't take them, but I did look for them. Sometimes for hours until I get those I want. Sometimes it takes time to select the ones I will upload among the many ones I had saved for the post. Not to tell you the time I spend editing them so they look well and clean. Then to place them in a way that satisfies my eye.

It's sth I enjoy and do with pleasure and love. That's why I want to thank all of you who share them and make me enjoy them all over again when I see them in my dash.

I just want to thank you all who like and reblog my stuff.

THANK YOU, WITH ALL MY HEART ♥

I wonder if there is a significance to Godot specifically drinking no more than 17 cups of coffee in any given trial. Where I live (Italy) 17 is viewed as unlucky - just as 13 is in the US - apparently that's because the Roman numeral, XVII, can be changed anagrammatically to VIXI, which in the Latin language translates to "I lived" (which basically also implies 'but I no longer live')... it fits Godot uncomfortably well. I wonder if that was what they were referencing. It's also interesting to note how the localizers choose 'Diego Armando' as his name, which could be both of Spanish or Italian origin.

And, another long-overdue update (eight months!), oops! :/ Anyway, here is CI bk 1 chapter 5! In this chapter, we explore the dynamics of Diego & Peaches uncle/niece relationship further, as actions made long ago, back in IA1, come back to bite Diego with regard to his uneasy relationship to other sabre packs becos of his role as Bredelands Guardian, something he faces bullying for from both sides, a fact that bothers Manny, deep down, a lot...
