Reminder that what mattered to Alver the most upon the revelation of the sun god's curse was the fact that all he wanted was Cale's reassurance. The reassurance that despite anything, he will always believe that Alver deserves to be the king.
He had faith that Cale would stand by him no matter what and if he didn't, then Alver would have lost the ability to trust anyone again in that manner.
And once he got the reassurance he wanted, Once he realised that it really didn't matter to Cale, he laughed out loud feeling relieved and emotional that the brief misunderstanding he felt towards the other man was nothing but a mere misunderstanding.
That Cale will stand by him no matter what.
Cale saying that he deserves to be the king, that no one else is suited to be the king of the Roan Kingdom other than Alver...
That scene is so precious to me. It is one of the most impactful moments which shows just how much Cale's opinions matter to Alver.
And how much Cale believes in his hyung-nim.
(They drive me crazy.)

shawn's deep trust of lassiter keeps catching me so off-guard like when he's held captive and lassie and henry both turn up he tries to yell "carlton" not "dad" and when he sees a guy with a gun come into the restaurant he goes straight for lassie and keeps trying to get his attention instead of literally any of the other dozens of cops in the room with them and when he's telling someone to call the police he tells them to ask for lassiter, not jules, not vick, lassiter. like he spends all his time provoking lassie but the second there's danger there's literally no one else he trusts more

grian talks so often about accidentally building faces in his builds that it really bothers me the like "watcher theory" side of the community that likes that sort of stuff hasn't done anything with it.
like in his latest episode he said that his newest building was "not even a quiet one. this one's screaming!" you don't want to play around with that? you don't want to entertain the idea that the watcher's favorite is cursed to craft structures out of flesh and not blocks? that his build's are alive? that everything he touches is cursed in some way? that their existence via proxy to, via being crafted by him is agony? that every house he's built has been alive, and every house he's ever abandoned take their toll on him by living inside him?
the house is alive. the house loves you. the house will never let you go.

just saw asteroid city last night, pls explain the proposed significance of the kiss!!
answering this publicly hope thats ok! cant do a readmore im on mobile *****asteroid city spoilers below beware*****
i dont remember anyones names so this is gonna sound partly unhinged. okay so the edward norton playwright and jason schwartzman actor (not character, in the black and white parts) are lovers right. tbh i thought this was kind of a gag and forgot about it. but later we find out that the playwright died 6 months into the production. i didnt make the connection that THAT’s why the actor-jason has to suddenly leave the stage and freaks out backstage about how he’s not sure he’s Doing it right. hes not talking about acting!! because he himself is literally grieving his lover while he’s playing a character who’s grieving his wife written by his lover so obviously it’s too much!!! actor-jason is trying to find meaning in his death through his writing but there isnt any meaning in death [gerris drinkwater voice] which is what the play is trying to say anyway. he doesnt think he’s performing grief right even in his own life!!! (and tbh it’s the 50s so he wouldnt be able to perform grief publicly anyway!!!!) the play starts with a car accident… anyone would search for some hidden meaning there, some sign…. so when he talks to margot robbie outside it’s not really about finding the CHARACTER’s motivations it’s about the actor himself being able to process the playwright’s death! and adrien brody director was probably also dealing with that too (him and norton seemed to be good buddies) so the whole “sleeping backstage” thing gets a bit sadder maybe? maybe everyone else got this in the theatre and im just stupid lol but crazy making stuff to me!!! the whole story is about sublimated gay grief that cannot be expressed?!?!
the tweet that caught me onto this was here which posits that the playwright’s death was a suicide but i think that’s pretty stupid and unnecessary because the whole thing about the play asteroid city is that death is random and meaningless. im pretty sure that’s what the alien represents— a shocking and absurd event that isnt outright evil or menacing, not something anyone can predict or make sense of, it’s just a thing that happens to you out of nowhere, it doesnt mean anything. he’s a little black figure, he’s death! giving and taking! aagh
