Well, I watched Wish World.

I'm not sure how I feel about it. What do other people think?

// honestly now i get Victor's freak out when he realized what he actually created when his creation actually came alive and wasn't just a theoretical hyperfixation.

one of my favorite interactions from The Scrpts that idk if Ive posted about

[nymph1e]

It really felt like after production finished someone went at the film with a pair of scissors

venom3 suffers from so much pacing issues and it feels like every scene has like 3 minutes at the least missing. venom says nice horsey twice and im pretty sure its the same voice clip and it sounds so weird. idk most of the time i feel like theyve cut out stuff and like it wouldve been better as part 1 and part 2.

and im mad they cut out a line from the promo where mrs chen says "so romantic" (probably after they explain the codex) like mmmmmh. idk how to put it but i feel like the small symbrock things were big symbrock things that were removed

Gladiator ii thoughts

i feel for Paul Mescal, alone in a green screen, fighting imaginary 3d monkeys

we get the fallacy of the good emperor vs the power abusers that ruin the imperial experience for everyone :(

the scrpt’s need of a white protag as a victim of imperialism (paul mescal is good, just pointing out a trope)

denzel is loads of fun

the gladiator riding a rhino carrying ancient rome boleadoras?!?!! 🥴 (not to mention the newspaper guy, but everyone saw that)

some scenes dealing with the transformation of submission and conquer into spectacle Rome (and others less ancient) had going on are actually good, (i liked hanno and macrinus’s exchanges, and the scene that ends with hanno reciting virgil) but sadly there’s a lot of effort to make the fights actually fun and engaging to the audience of the movie which, undermines that stance

scene borrowed from Spartacus (when Hanno attacks the emperors’s box from the arena! the walls of the spectacle blur and reach the untouchables!)(kubrick did it better. better editing, faster, less predictable)

Symbolic lavander sniffing (I actually like that, makes Lucilla look kiinda hypocritical)

i support Denzel Washington, giving it his all living his own shakespearean subplot (and for what)

(actual good scene between him and lucilla where he reveals he was Aurelius’s slave, apparently dismantling the myth of the good tyrant for a second)(but for what, it doesn’t last)

Hanno forgetting his anti imperialism and consequent hatred of his own lineage bc he learns the lesson you can be a Good Imperialist™️

all of hanno’s virtues being explained in hindsight bc of his noble lineage (oh ofc he was a natural leader, it was in his blood, he inherited all of that from marcus aurelius, lucilla and maximus)

finally, hanno’s final speech to the gladiators is very annoying, masses of pocs portrayed as followers of a charismatic member of the imperial power

The Tragedy of Xing Hai

(because I haven't been able to stop thinking about this)

Based on the previews at the end of episode 11, I knew going into the S4 finale that Xing Hai probably wasn't going to survive. What I thought was going to happen is that she'd finally snap and take matters into her own hands by waking the demon gods and turning them loose in the demon realm, thus disrupting the status quo and the Demon King's plan. Given that her skill set involves "waking up eldritch horrors" on the regular, it would not have been out of place. Maybe it was her own idea, or maybe she and Lin would be working as allies.

Lin's argument (in essence): Aren't you tired of being nice? Don't you just want to go apeshit?

And at first, that seemed like what was going to happen! The opening scene is Xing Hai's monologue as she sorts through her loyalties and options and tries to figure out a course of action, but it ends before we see her decision. Lin certainly thinks it's going to happen, and the argument he makes when they come face to face is a compelling one.

Unfortunately for everyone, Xing Hai snaps, but she doesn't go after the Demon King or the Demon Gods or walk away from the narrative. She goes after Lin instead, thus sealing her fate.

On first watch, I didn't understand why Urobuchi killed her off like this, since as a general rule, he only kills those characters who have completed or fulfilled their narrative arcs. At first I thought Xing Hai was a victim of Season 4's truncation and rushed pacing… but while this certainly may still be the case, a closer look on rewatch suggests that she did complete her arc, it just wasn't what I wanted or hoped for her.

Every Thunderbolt Fantasy character represents both a particular ethos and a philosophical point of view; when characters clash, it's not just their martial skills in play, but the ideologies they stand for. Xing Hai's ethos--her entire identity--is wrapped around demonic superiority over humans, a "natural" hierarchy in which the strong prey on the weak. Since all humans are "naturally" inferior to demons, all humans are prey for even the weakest demon. This is one reason why Lin Xue Ya is initially so infuriating to Xing Hai--he is a "mere" human who turned the tables and tricked her. This is not how the scrpt is supposed to go, and Xing Hai is obsessed with getting her revenge by utterly humiliating him the way he did to her.

We get a taste of that with what she does with "Lin Xue Ya" (illusory version) in S3--she takes advantage of Seven Blasphemous Death's charm magic to ensnare him and makes him her servant (and let's be real, her sex slave). Xing Hai hates Lin Xue Ya, but she's also in love with him--two sides of the same coin.

Then Lin pulls the "I might be a demon" card and their dynamic shifts. If Lin truly is a demon, then he is simply following his nature, and it is natural for demons to torment each other. This doesn't mean the past is forgiven--but it does erase one of her major objections to him. It reframes and recontexualizes all of their past interactions to date.

Lin being the spitting image of the Demon King added another wrinkle. Instead of allying with her old enemy, perhaps Xing Hai would resolve the cognitive dissonance by betraying him to the Demon King instead. The Demon King is Lin without all the history and baggage--and a powerful ruler to boot. Perhaps the two of them would even end up together in the end (inasmuch as is possible for two demons to love each other).

But Xing Hai doesn't do that either.

She hates what the Demon King has made of the demon realm and how he plans to excise the fundamental traits she has defined herself by (the schadenfreude and the scheming) from all demonkind in favor of humanity's ability to unite. She also hates Lin Xue Ya, who is now revealed to be the literal essence of those demonic traits she idealized, and who has personally humiliated her; to let him roam free is unconscionable, especially since his next target is the Demon King, to whom she owes her loyalties per the rules of hierarchy. Xing Hai is stuck, stuck, stuck and all her options suck… but in an unexpected twist, she has 3 demonic seals and thus the power to take matters into her own hands.

Xing Hai claims she's willing to sacrifice herself for her fellow demons and for the Demon King's vision, even if she disagrees with it. This may be true, but Xing Hai also dies because she cannot let go of her pride. She dies because it's not enough to bring Lin Xue Ya down, she wants the pleasure of ripping him apart with her bare hands. That is Xing Hai's tragedy, and why she was doomed from the moment she picked up the seals. As soon as she had the power to harm Lin Xue Ya, she took it.

…and she would have gotten away with it if it weren't for those meddling kids Shen Hui Mo Xie. If Lin Xue Ya wasn't ridiculously stronk and hiding his powers for the lulz. She didn't know what the audience now takes for granted, and even if she had, she might have deluded herself into thinking she had a chance.

(also, as an aside, if Xing Hai had used the scrying mirror trick first the way she did twice before, she might have survived, but instead she left it as a last resort. She got one (1) punch in against Lin Xue Ya, and she didn't kill him with it, and unfortunately for her, Lin is the sort of person you either take down in the first five seconds or not at all. But she didn't want to be careful and strategic--she wanted to kill. She wanted to dominate. She wanted to gloat. And that was her undoing.)

Her death is a tragedy, in the sense that on some level it was inevitable from the moment she first entered the narrative, the culmination of her two defining traits: her obsession with what it means to be a demon, and her hatred of Lin Xue Ya. And in an ironic twist, she actually becomes a little more human-like with her altruistic decision to sacrifice herself for others; all that time in the human realm rubbed off on her, as Lin mockingly comments.

Do I like it? No. Would I have preferred a different outcome? Absolutely. But I understand why she acted the way she did, and why she died for it. And my only consolation is that she went out like a boss on her own terms--she might have died, but she certainly made our heroes work for it.

On a purely mechanical level, Xing Hai using the demonic seals gives the audience a taste of what's coming for Lang Wu Yao, thus raising both the tension and the stakes. This has been foreshadowed throughout S4--most notably in Azibelpher's speech in the Demon Court in episode 8 where he essentially lays out his plan and then walks it back with "hypothetically, tee hee" and in Ling Ya's monologue in episode 10 about how all demons end up as "monster food" in the end. But now the audience and the characters know what that really means, and Xing Hai was the sacrifice used to demonstrate this.

Personally, there were so many other demon characters in this season, I would have preferred to sacrifice one of them instead instead of Xing Hai. Someone probably had to die for this, but it didn't have to be her. Alas, Urouchi had other ideas.

Like Lang Wu Yao, Xing Hai's arc in S4 is mostly passive--both of them, as newcomers to the demon realm, serve as audience surrogates for the other characters to exposition to. Like Lang Wu Yao, Xing Hai's arc centers around the question of what it means to be a demon, and what are the trade-offs that must be made for power and revenge. I think that it's easy to mistake the fact that Xing Hai is quiet for most of the season as proof that nothing is going on, which is one reason that some viewers might find the finale coming out of nowhere. It's not that it wasn't there or foreshadowed, it was just less flashy and more subtle.

Xing Hai made her choice. I hope Lang Wu Yao makes a different one, but I dunno, man, that ending was kind of ominous. But Lang at least has his humanity and his human relationships to draw on, whereas Xing Hai... didn't. And that's tragic in its own way.

Maybe this is all justification after the fact, a coping mechanism for dealing with my disappointment, but nonetheless, I feel like Xing Hai's action and death are far more psychologically and philosophically complex than simply "tying up a loose thread" or "the finale needed a big boss battle" although it also does both of these things.

Poor Xing Hai never realized that "living well is the best revenge" when it comes to toxic exes and I feel so bad for her. Will Lin Xue Ya ever be forced to deal with the lasting consequences of his actions? Perhaps, but it unfortunately won't be because of her.

RIP, queen. I'll miss you.

fucking cvs

i get a text saying that i dont have any refills for my hrt scrpt and it needs renewed. so i call, they say theyll send a req. to my doc to renew it. and its auto denied. bc its a day to early to refill it (bc its a controlled substance so it can only be refilled after a certain period of time) and now its all fucked up. i called the doc office ab it and the nurse i talked to said shed put in a new req. but as of now the the website just says doc refused renewal. so. thats fun.

if it doesnt go thru by monday im calling again bc i need it by wednesday.

why tf does cvs keep sending me texts ab my scrpts needing refilled when I obviously cant?? they have access to the date when it can be refilled and i dont? bc they stopped listing it with the other scrpt info?? it makes no sense.

[princess-of-the-corner]

Honestly the only thing that's making me think that it isn't backdated is how that implies ta or someone else higher up in the show's production purposely leaked the scripts for the first four Seasons

Honestly with how much other stuff was leaked I wouldn't be surprised if TA backdated the scrpts and leaked them hoping it'd fly under the radar as 'oh probably that one guy leaking shit'.
