currently thinking about the shot parallels between the big church scene in the pilot and the loustat dance in the finale. during the church scene at the end of the pilot, we get a close up shot of lestat looking directly into the camera - essentially proposing to louis to be his companion for all of eternity and convincing him to become a vampire. this direct eye contact kind of swallows you whole; you can't focus on anything else. louis, on the other hand, gets the same treatment but at first is not exactly looking directly at the camera. he is the one telling the story, so we are going to get a more direct view of what he remembers seeing (lestat's face), but he then eventually makes direct eye contact with the camera - specifically when lestat says that he loves louis and louis is loved which is what he's been craving. when louis is convinced, we are convinced; when louis allows himself to feel all of these emotions he's been trying to suppress, we are allowed to feel them with him.
during the dance, we get a similar kind of close up shot of lestat looking directly into the camera. again, this direct eye contact swallows you whole; you can't focus on anything else. louis gets the same treatment again, but his eyes are looking less directly at the camera. we know louis remembers the mixed feelings he felt that night because he knew he and claudia were going to try and kill lestat, but louis was losing the thread of the current plot in that moment because "i was his, and he was mine" thus looking slightly off to the side. we again feel what louis feels when he feels it because of he's the one telling the story and immersing us into his world (as he wants us to see it because we love an unreliable narrator).
the pilot church scene is them officially coming together, and they both understand that in the moment; the finale dance scene is them unraveling "for good" (for now... we shall see how the other seasons play out), and they both understand that in the moment
don't even get me started on the setting differences too - the church scene occurring when they're technically alone but the eyes of God/religion are theoretically present; the dance scene occurring when they're surrounded by so many people but they feel like it's just them until claudia breaks their dancing apart. ugh delicious!
how do you think moon would react to a drawing though? like we know he's just as feral but he probably wouldn't put it in a shredder. maybe he'd eat it.
Honestly, I think it's like...programmed into them, that they're supposed to put the art into the shredder as a like "copyright" protection thing. So, I could see him doing the same thing that Sun did, while spouting the same: "all works created in the Daycare are property of Fazbear Entertainment blah blah blah..." but while giggling maniacally and staring you straight in the eyes. Kind of rubbing salt in the wound there.
with peace and love, tysm jigsaw (2017) and spiral (2021) for making me appreciate the true merit and worth of saw 3d (2010). did not think it possible before. u have opened my eyes 😌💞🙏
I love learning ASL it’s so good. Makes me happy to learn it. I’m so glad my university has classes for it with professors actually steeped in Deaf culture.
So here is my lil self insert haha, she's a bear! like a teddy bear!
But more than a self insert, I'd like for her to be a regular persona for me.
I forgot to mention that she is very sing-song in the way she speaks and loves to "put on different voices"
She often gets glitter or sprinkles or paint in her hair, looking like a cupcake UwU
abelle fucks me up cuz she's really childish for her age (17), but she only seems so young 'cause everyone around her had to grow up far too fast in comparison. she's this bright-eyed, peppy, curiously tough and strangely fragile little thing, surrounded by weary old souls. these successive generations of deeply traumatized people worked together to finally create a world where kids like her get to actually live out their full childhoods, enjoy their youth, experience life at a healthy pace. and they're all committed to preserving that peace, for the sake of the future generations she embodies.
on the flipside, though, there's this disconnect where she can't comprehend trauma the same way as the rest of her community. the horrors they were all forged in are utterly foreign to her, and it does make her feel somewhat alienated. a young historian who's always running up against this brick wall, she wants more than anything to truly understand what the world before her was like, on a visceral personal level - but she simply can't. much to her frustration, some of her loved ones even tell her it's a good thing that she can't. they all saw to it that she wouldn't have to. she's trying to shine a light on the past, preserve it, glean as much as she can from it. but it always feels so distant to her. something she'll never quite touch with her own hands.
(and then when she does get herself deliberately involved in something both Old and Traumatic, of course, it turns out she can hardly stomach it after all 🙃)

Ok so I'm replaying through Deltarune and, while I'm not usually someone to take a deep dive into things, I did find something pretty noteworthy that I don't believe I've seen any talk about(?)
Basically the idea is that the Fun Gang isn't part of the prophecy at all.
The prophecy specifically says that only when everything is at the worst will the heros arrive. When we're confronted with our first fountain, however, the balance is only beginning to shift.
Ironically enough, I think us sealing the fountains is somewhat against the prophecy. Rather than us being the heros who appear at the very end, we're instead prolonging that end.
