#tyler is god real

[cherrishnoodles]

i will never not see tyler and the narrator as the most religious-coded relationship ever.

the narrator's total devotion to this "single-serve friend" he met on a plane is so similar to media portraying religious ideas of a God to his followers.

Tyler is always above everyone without question. Everything Tyler does is, to our narrator, facts. It's always "do you know Tyler Durden?" and rumors being started about him that may or may not be true (the audience knows its not), and the narrator is always chasing Tyler's approval. While this obviously ties with the narrator's self image and how it reflects on his view of Tyler, i don't think it wise to fully reject the inherent homoeroticism of the narrator's total adoration of Tyler.

The only time this is stopped is when narrator is left to his own device around Project Mayhem, where he idolizes Tyler less, but goes back to it almost immediately when going to look for him.But there is also something to be said about the Space Monkeys, or the Fight Club "devotees" living at Paper Street, working for Tyler. They leave everything behind, even staying on a porch for three days without eating and drinking, just to be able to experience Tyler's wisdom. They devote their entire life to one man, similarly to how priests and other religious bodies will devote their lives to Christ or other Gods.

As an audience, we also never learn about Tyler's past beyond what small snipets of conversation we get from him and the narrator. We don't know what he was on that plane for, where he came from, why he know lives specifically at Paper Street, only that he is now interlocked in the narrator's life until the final moments of the movie. Looking at this literally, it's obvious that's because Tyler is a product of the narrator's insomnia and hallucinations, but from a metaphorical standpoint, it stands as a similarity to how Gods simply *exist*, and then create the world.

Tyler existed, and then he created Fight Club.

But going back to Tyler and the narrator's relationship specifically, there are multiple references to the narrator almost wanting to 'repent' to Tyler, asking him to help him "not be perfect" among other things. In the narrator's eyes, Tyler is his savior, his way out of the consumerist lifestyle that has gnawed its way into every corner of his existence, like the Devil selling the apple to Eve. Without Tyler, there would be no salvation for our narrator.

A more explicit reference to religion is of course Tyler's refusal of God. "We are God's unwanted children? So be it." With this line, he takes on the part of God, he becomes the very concept of God. He has freed the narrator, making him hit rock bottom so that he may finally know salvation: "it's only after we've lost everything, that we're free to do anything." In that scene, and throughout the movie, Tyler gives facts, or in a religious metaphor way, verses, of "useful information". Though in that chemical burn kiss scene he rejects God, he ended up becoming exactly that; similar to his father, he became a "model for God" to the narrator and the Space Monkeys.

anyway tyler is god and narrator is his good little follower <3 soapshipping canon

The Doctor: floating in the tardis around a star... burning it up in order to say the words he thinks are the last ones he will ever say to his soul mate, Rose Tyler

Sutekh: bawling his eyes out

[g3othermal3scapism]

when the doctor was confronted about religion and beliefs and he said that out of everything hes seen, all the impossible places hes been and unthinkable creatures hes been witness to, of all the literal gods and demons and things of nightmares hes met, if there is one thing he believes in its rose tyler. yeah

Guys. GUYS. listen to me- kate carter is a natural brunette. no i’m not just saying that because daisy edgar jones has brown hair naturally, there’s a picture of young kate and her mom that is shown in the scene where she comes back home. I caught it on my second rewatch. I mean ofc you could chalk up her darker roots to it just being a dirty blonde but no, she really is a brunette.

Which brings me to this thought- I wonder what Tyler’s reaction (along with the others ofc) would be when they see Kate with brown hair. Let’s say her blonde dye was growing out enough for her to decide to dye it back. Maybe she does it when she went back to NY for a bit before going back to Oklahoma. Will there be chaos? Definitely. Will Tyler Owens get a heart attack? Duh. Like, imagine the possibilities guys, hellooo

[thebestfriendstoloverstrope]

sometimes i think about the fact that georgia tennant was considered for the role of rose, and yeah sure we would've lost the fun trivia of "georgia was the doctor's daughter irl and then she played the doctor's daughter onscreen" bUT! BUT. WE WOULD'VE GAINED IRL TENROSE. CAN YOU IMAGINE

update for sai listen with violet: we just finished and is nearly crying and just walked to the window and stood there with her head against the window and i am cackling

quotes from violet rn:

"this has been a very emotional week for me" - violet

me: "so theres all the lore albums! we've just got two albums left now"

violet: "IN FOUR DAYS."

so its safe to say shes fairly (local) overwhelmed right now

okay wait we're on our second sai listen rn and listening to good day and she heard "im alright" and she went "IM NOT. YOU MIGHT BE TYLER, BUT IM NOT ALRIGHT"

all lore albums in four days is crazy oh my god, poor violet, she needs a break 😭 that's insane but it also makes me so happy omg.

"you might be tyler, but i'm not alright" is my new favourite quote now LMAO

also, finn, please force her to watch sai livestream. it's important. i have a feeling she's going to love it.

[bredforloyalty]

the last few years have been a nice detour* but i think it's time to get back to being cringe

*: not that i wasn't cringe recently just that i need to crank it up and lose followers also

Oh these all look so lovely. May i ask about good dog bad dream for WIP files?

of course!!! 🥰💕 i answered a little bit about it here, but this is one of the tag stories i really, REALLY want to actually become a fic so i did promise a little snippet of the 2K that is done:

Things that Dylan should do: turn off the light, shut the door, walk back inside to the rumpled sheets still warm from when he left them to grab a glass of water. Leave the creature outside to the lightning bugs and the quarter moon and the shifting shadows of the woods along the gap-toothed fenceline of his yard, and then come out in the morning to nothing more than a paw print and the clean reassurance of sunlight to tell him nobody’s there, to ignore the prickle of discomfort that shivers its way across his body as goosebumps and raised hairs when he thinks about turning his back on the memory of those red eyes.

Things that Dylan does instead: whistle.

it's literally so funny because I was in denial and confused about my sexuality for a good long time but actually it's just because I'm essentially a monk until I see really masculine women. bonus points if she's gross. and then I am struck down like goliath
