#musings: ryan

[enigmaticvariation]

someone should make a social network (2010) style biopic movie about the rise and fall of panic! at the disco because it's literally the same story. young awkward nerdy guys in the early 2000s make something cool and then have the worst friendship breakup of all time that's reminiscent of a divorce and now decades later the thing they made is lame as fuck. one guy became evil after they split up and the other guy disappeared off of the face of the earth. every man involved was so misogynistic that the story has undertones of a doomed gay relationship (a comically large hook drags me off stage and I am shot like a lame horse)

A few more thoughts

This art by @Doodlemunster is just gorgeous. Doesn't she look like one of the Muses here? Actual goddess, I am telling you. From the moment we saw Miss thang on the screen, she has not been coded as human.

Siren? Of course

The first time we see Pearline, she is standing at the station, admiring the way Sammie's gift lures people in. His voice is something else; no wonder folk can't resist. As a siren, it's usually the other way around. She sings and men are at her mercy. I think this is why her gaze looks so curious. Pearline clocks his shit immediately. She can see something supernatural within this boy. Not to mention, the sinful nature of their interaction. She is the ultimate temptation for Preacher Boy. A married woman who adores him and his guitar? A blues singer that knows her way around a shotgun? A harlot who spends her nights entertaining fellow sinners? Jedediah would have a heart attack.

Werewolf? Absolutely

Why else do we learn nothing about her personal life? Her job? Her husband? She only really interacts with Sammie over the course of the night. That Juke Joint was packed with Black folk who've spent their whole lives in Clarksdale, Mississipi. Why doesn't anyone recognise her? As a lycanthrope, it is safer for Pearline to live on the edge of society.

Vampire? Eventually

Her last words before she turns are 'Sammie, run'. Does that sound like a woman who is happy in her married? Who longs to see her husband again? Scratch that, does that sound like a mortal? When Annie gets turned she refuses to live as anything but a human being. Her disgust was plainly stated, and thankfully Elijah respected that.

Pearline, on the other hand, accepts what is coming!! There is nothing to run from because she is already a creature of the night. From where I'm standing, Pearline is a werewolf in her mid to late 20s. She has experienced gruesome transformations before and with the full moon outside, she knows how ugly things could get. Her final warning to Sammie is a profound act of love and confirmation of her familiarity with the supernatural.

TLDR: This woman is not human. Never been human and I love that for her.

Don't worry, Wade. Your boyfriend loves it regardless of how much he feigns not to.

this is just me rambling so maybe take it with a grain of salt, but i kind of hate how so much of fictional media makes unrequited feelings seem like such a depressing death sentence. like. i can't be the only one that feels that that's a little fucked up.

so love is selfless until you feel it so deeply that rejection makes you wonder if you are about to die. love is beautiful until it isn't returned in which case it is a curse. love is wanting the best for someone until the best turns out to not be you.

and maybe i'm jaded and maybe i'm just bitter but i think that's all fucked up. i think that you can have feelings for someone and continue being friends past any sort of rejection as long as nobody involved is weird about it. i think love can be an amazing feeling whether or not it is reciprocated the same way back.

i'd love to see stories where two people are friends and one is in love and the other isn't and they both know. and they're okay. and there isn't a secret pain, a hidden deep sorrow from within. there isn't scheming to change the situation, just an acceptance and an understanding between two people that yeah. you're important to me. our feelings are different but at its core they are the same.

am i insane? is this really that crazy of a concept?

because sure pining is a thing but doesn't that just stem from feeling like you aren't as valued by the person as much as you value them? does someone have to kiss you and take you out on dates labelled 'ROMANTIC' to say hey, if you disappeared from my life it would crush me. your presence is valued and i cherish the time we spend together.

is there something i'm not getting? is there something i just don't understand?

why can't love just be?

Why are these pictures so intimate??

Like... One looks like the end of a long day shooting, and you're getting out of character, and your other half is so enchanted by you, he just snaps the pic.

And the other looks like you've just woken up and stumbled into the bathroom, found the moustache has gone and reach for the camera to snap it as a moment in time, before you both sleepily look over at each other with soft, loving smiles...

bts is crazy bc ryan looks like he is having the best day of his life every. single. day. and that easy joy is just. so far from eddie. we mostly see it peek out through a half-smile or a hidden moment. but ryan just lives like that. every episode. every shoot.
