NATASHA, PIERRE, AND THE GREAT COMET OF 1812 at Streetcar Crowsnest

[fumifooms]

Chilchuck analysis speedrun: As a hardworking half-foot who grew up poor and discriminated against and had his gullibility taken advantage of multiple times in his early adventuring days, Chilchuck thinks optimism is a dangerous flaw. He’s stressed and strict all the time because his job is noticing details like traps that could get everyone killed before anyone knows it, he takes the lives of everyone to be on his shoulders, and with the way he speaks about it that probably partly reflects how he felt about taking it upon himself to provide for his family too. His life’s always been pretty centered around work and has become even moreso now that his wife left and everyone is independent, and due to past events he’s very iffy with bonding with coworkers. He thinks feelings and job are a disaster mix. Like with his wife or with parties hiring him as sacrifice, being open or having good faith is vulnerability which can get you hurt, so he processes and shows all his stress as anger instead of worry. Doing strict dieting probably isn’t helping the irritability what with hunger, and on top of being a hunger suppressant alcohol might be the main stress reliever he has.

His grey hairs are so earned

The thing about the hand loss and how people attach things behind it like “it was as a result of Jaime’s arrogance towards Hoat” or “he lost it because he saved Brienne from rape,” is that neither is true to what actually happens in the text. Those actions still hold meaning, sure, but the chop itself is also independent to it all (the maiming is symbolically karmic in a lot of ways as it is tied to his greatest sins, but that is not what i am talking about). The capture itself is different, but the right hand and his fate was doomed the moment he landed in Hoat’s hands for reasons out of his control. What is so good about it is that the hand chop is not really about Jaime as a human being (which makes it causing one of the biggest existential crises in the series all the more interesting), and more about Jaime as a token. Ironically, his status and relationship to his father is what ends up dehumanizing him entirely. There are so many things going on outside of Jaime. He is an integral political piece, every side is scrambling for him for different reasons, and he is fully treated as such in the Riverlands.

Hoat had his own motivation, that is much bigger than Jaime, due to his previous betrayal of Tywin, which turned into a death sentence following the results of Blackwater. As Roose implies throughout the dinner conversation, Jaime’s hand chop was, above all else, the result of Tywin and the ruthless foundation of much of his authority (the Reynes and Tarbecks are brought up again). And what I like about it, other than the emphasis on the players constantly making moves solely for their own benefit in war while everyone else suffers the consequences, is that it does address and criticize the Lannister method a whole lot. The hand chop almost feels less karmic for Jaime himself than it does for Tywin. It is another reason that I find the perspective that these books were heralding this kind of sociopathic ruthlessness as competent and uber effective while completely condemning the relatively more “moral” Starks so funny. Like without even getting into where we are headed in the aftermath of the WoT5K, the holes within the “Tywin method” are already being explored. And the results are creeping towards Tywin himself, invading his family, because it is his very heir that suffers directly from it. The more we move along in the story the more the distance lessens between him and his putrid actions to cement his authority and power. “I’ve lost a hand, a father, a son, a sister, and a lover, and soon enough I will lose a brother. And yet they keep telling me House Lannister won this war.” is a Tywin/House Lannister thesis when it comes to the events of ASoS. For a start, he is the one who brought in the Bloody Mummers. The cruelty he unleashes on the smallfolk ends up coming back to him directly through his heir being the one experiencing it full force. There is the layer of loyalty vs utilizing sellswords, which is one way the conflicting sides in the war foil each other, and it is a root cause of the betrayal to begin with. If you use these men, you can end up suffering the consequences yourself, loyalty can only be bought if you remain the highest bidder. Relying on greed is fragile. Then, the part that Jaime is repeatedly faced with throughout his narrative: fear ≠ trust.

Hoat is smart enough to realize by now that his betrayal will not be pardoned by Tywin. Jaime’s offer means nothing in terms of his safety. He is aware of his low status and the meaning of his action to Tywin. That is what truly dooms Jaime and his hand. Hoat needed that token, and he needed to secure a path for himself (without losing his token along the way to Roose) to the Karstarks. He made sure that he brought Roose down with him, and put him in a difficult situation. Sure, Jaime’s skill itself is a huge threat and liability, but that is not the primary motivator. It is his sole ticket to safety from Tywin’s ruthlessness.

Then the goat gets outsmarted by Roose, and Jaime catches on to that part, so Hoat does take the L ultimately I fear, but these layers remain and it adds a lot. I also like how in ASoS, Jaime’s status is constantly fluctuating between dooming him and saving him. It often depends on how clever he is being in the moment.

30.05 // i have like 100 pages left on gtn. how high is the likelihood of me full on sobbing in the train?

in other news: I'm visiting my parents and instead of taking the train I actually booked the ticket for, I mixed up the numbers and took a train three hours earlier. Your honor I'm just a silly goose, please don't fine me??

Not the fucking boos again. And now they're chanting 'Lando' during the anthem? Take off your hater goggles and stop being dicks.

I hate that you have to spend hours and hours on the phone with/waiting for IT to fix something that's extremely easy to do except that it requires an admin password, and also they talk down to you even if your literal job is tech-heavy and give you shit for not consistently using the dedicated workstation that only does one thing. The internet connection for the computer that operates our microfilm scanner went down because we haven't used the scanner in a while and now my entire afternoon is going to be dedicated to waiting around for one person to spend five seconds entering a password

//— lore drop,

One of the reasons Roo, root of all evil was able to influence Lucifer so much was she preyed on his isolation, and feelings of resentment at being punished , the apple wasn’t the first time he’s caused trouble just the big one / straw that broke the camels back;

When he was being put on trail and punished and seeing his friends his family turn against him, no one arguing for him , she used that , saying she was his real only friend offering help when everyone was offering judgement .. and he took her hand , he took her words her advice her power and mixed with it his own.

They in his eyes became the scapegoats , they combined their powers and he chose the one person with power that was showing something other then judgement towards him, welcoming the darkness . He had someone on his side for once .

Using her strength for the war, he became the first angelic being to kill another angelic being . And he didn’t stop at just one. The fact that angels can kill eachother that they have weaknesses , their blood can possibly be deadly to eachother ,was reveled to Lucifer thanks to Roo , and Heaven did their best to hide it , it’s why the exorcist had no idea they could be killed .

They couldn’t risk another Lucifer .

Rating: Not Cute!

I sent one of my Napoleons out to do some errands for me. He’s well trained and hardly ever loots the grocery store! But for no reason he got a ticket?! He got upset, spilled all my groceries, and got more tickets!

Don’t give tickets to Napoleons! Now I have no choice but to have my army of Napoleons burn this town down. Look upon the ashes and weep!!

ATEEZ were AMAZING live!

If the opportunity arises for you to see them on their next tour, you should 100% go.

I already can't wait to see them whenever they come back to Toronto.

I would love to see Ateez live!!!

Unfortunately the closest tour stops to me for any group is at least 6 hours away (currently. I’m planning to move soon and it’ll be even further probably). And I don’t drive 🙃 so actually being able to get there is the difficult part. Plus with how quickly their popularity is rising actual ticket prices are gonna be way out of my price range very soon (they’re already too high for me)

Btw after having a scroll through Facebook and Twitter posts about the Eras Tour Movie’s extra showing day today, I am truly astonished at the capacity to care about & spectrum of emotions human adults have about a plastic cup and popcorn bucket

[pissmoon]

Yes customers are often annoying but this genre of a person that works with people and is extra about enforcing super strict rules about what harmless things customers 'cant' do 90% of their coworkers dont gaf about and its not something superiors actually check on and they arent paid extra or anything. This is such a pathetic mindset and its not fun to work with someone like that either
