extremely fun to see Faulkner reject the title of Katabasian in the same episode in which he attempts to kill himself in the basin of his god in the hope of being reborn as someone new.

you know.

a descent into the underworld from which he hopes to emerge as a changed person.

if only there was a Greek word for that trope.

Idk if it's recency bias since I just relistened to the episode or perhaps I just love drawing parallels between these two but MAN there is something about both Faulkner and Carpenter returning to their childhood homes, the place it all began for them, and confronting everything that's behind them, everything that could possibly be in front of them as a result. Something about carpenter confronting a distorted memory of nana glass vs faulkner confronting his very real father. Something about how neither of them could truly talk to both of those figures regardless. The answers they come to as a result.

this is so funny to me because imagine parish river water as an all-purpose hrt solution "oh will i be a man if i take this?" "well... you'll be different! :D"

the parish of tide and flesh provides hrt.... do u think its some kind of blessed river water injection becuz that doesnt sound sterile or do you think its actual medical grade testosterone

faulkner said "sometimes I want a normal life with normal domestic problems" and the universe said "you want a glimpse at normal domestic problems? okay :)"

Re listening to the Silt verses from the top and fucking lmao @ Faulkner "I'd like to get to know you better", to Carpenter "okay ask me whatever you like", then Faulkner immediately asks about Mason and not about Carpenter at all

i think the silt verses' concept of saints is one of my favorite examples of religious horror because it takes what saints are, at their core - someone who died, often in agonizing pain and terror - and forces you to see it from their perspective. because sainthood is awarded posthumously - the people elevated to sainthood rarely get a say in it; it's a consolation prize with no one to collect it, an apology that cannot be accepted because the person you're apologizing to will never hear it. and the silt verses shows you that. lets you see the final, helpless moments as someone is hallowed into something they don't recognize and won't be around anymore to see the impact of. shows you the sheer indignity and suffering required to make a saint out of someone. shows you how pointlessly cruel it is to reassure them that their suffering is meaningful and will be worthwhile - for someone else. to achieve ends they might not even have agreed with. championing a cause they might not even have necessarily believed in.

it's hard to translate the impact of the delivery of this line from voice acting to transcription but this moment in the silt verses never fails to make me crazyinsane because even without the context of sainthood in tsv being this utterly nightmarish fate-worse-than-death cronenbergian body-horror transfiguration there is something so bone chilling about the slow, creeping realization that "i'm not going to hurt you... i'm going to make you a saint" is not a reassurance, but a threat, and one that will be carried out with fanatical devotion
