#I think I’m right

[squash1]

alright alright alright. i want to get into the soldier, poet, king discourse because my controversial opinion is that gansey is not, in fact, the king But the poet. and adam is the king. and obviously ronan is, and forever will be, the soldier.

being the king, at its core, is about being driven by duty rather than desire. the king is practical sometimes to their own detriment. adam parrish is the king. adam is driven by duty — sometimes duty to others but also duty to himself to become someone he’s proud of — and he often ignores his true wants in favor of the practical, “right” choices. think of mr gray saying “adam parrish and his band of merry men” and maura responding that she would have said it was gansey’s band. but it’s actually adam who keeps the gangsey in line. it’s adam who can get gansey inspired to continue his quest by coming up with possible solutions out of thin air, it’s adam who keeps a watchful eye out for anyone who might be out to get them, and adam who makes the ultimate sacrifice to cabeswater to further the quest. adam would probably prefer to be the poet, but he sees the impracticality of it and chooses to accumulate success that is easily measured instead.

gansey is the poet through and through. he is the orpheus of the gangsey. he’s the one spinning the delightful tale of glendower and the hunt. by saying “what do you know about dead welsh kings?” he is inviting anyone who will listen into this story, this magic that he’s created/found. he is not always practical but he’s so charming that it doesn’t matter. he lives in a world of whimsy where things just want to be found and where he believes and leads other people to believe too. the real gansey is the poet not the king.

ronan is just. so. obviously. the soldier. the soldier is impractical but not in the same way as the poet — the soldier is reckless and does not think of the consequences before acting. ronan is fiercely protective of those he cares about and does not usually think before doing just about anything. he is angry angry angry. soldiers do what they want and are leaders in their own way, but they often lead with anger and feel as though their anger is a rebellion. ronan is the right hand man, the one who has to be held back but is ultimately the secret weapon. (be dangerous).

i will also say that the solider defends the king and the poet inspires the king and the king keeps everyone on track. ronan defends and would defend adam to the grave (“the choice was death or hurting adam, which wasn't much of a choice at all”), gansey does literally anything just to make adam believe or even just smile, and adam, as we’ve established, is the sensible one that is steering them all to success.

popping up again after way too long to say that in the Carry On series, words being “Said and Read and Written” often to give them magic implies that the harry potter spells (at least the most popular ones) would work.

At the height of its popularity, most of the spells probably worked in some form, but even now i’m so sure ‘Wingardium Leviosa’ would work. Everyone’s favourite spells would probably work, and as i’m typing this i’ve come to the realisation that ‘Expecto Patronum’ would also definitely work. That deserves a follow-up post of its own.

#or am i just being paranoid lol #i think i’m not being paranoid #i think i’m right

saw someone compare kaz and matthias?? like tf u can’t do that like yes kaz is a horrible little bastard (not literally) but he should not be put on the same level as the dead nazi euphemism (derogatory) like please. kaz is an equal opportunist in terms of causing suffering

#everyday is a matthias hate day #I’m pretty sure kaz’s parents were married when they had him so he’s not a literal bastard lmao #also u can debate the equal opportunist bit but rlly the only real exception is pekka rollins so #I think I’m right #anti matthias helvar #kaz brekker #soc

I’ve been in such a funk since the concert. I’m not even sure I enjoyed myself that much. maybe I did. I don’t know

#I don’t think I’m a concert person #parts of it were fun but parts of it were like …I’d rather be in bed right now and watching clips of this off tiktok #isn’t post-concert blues a thing? right? it’s a thing? #all I know is I feel really shitty and all I want to do is cry about it

changes and trends in horror-genre films are linked to the anxieties of the culture in its time and place. Vampires are the manifestation of grappling with sexuality; aliens, of foreign influence. Horror from the Cold War is about apathy and annihilation; classic Japanese horror is characterised by “nature’s revenge”; psychological horror plays with anxieties that absorbed its audience, like pregnancy/abortion, mental illness, femininity. Some horror presses on the bruise of being trapped in a situation with upsetting tasks to complete, especially ones that compromise you as a person - reflecting the horrors and anxieties of capitalism etc etc etc. Cosmic horror is slightly out of fashion because our culture is more comfortable with, even wistful for, “the unknown.” Monster horror now has to be aware of itself, as a contingent of people now live in the freedom and comfort of saying “I would willingly, gladly, even preferentially fuck that monster.” But I don’t know much about films or genres: that ground has been covered by cleverer people.

I don’t actually like horror or movies. What interests me at the moment is how horror of the 2020s has an element of perception and paying attention.

Multiple movies in one year discussed monsters that killed you if you perceived them. There are monsters you can’t look at; monsters that kill you instantly if you get their attention. Monsters where you have to be silent, look down, hold still: pray that they pass over you. M Zombies have changed from a hand-waved virus that covers extras in splashy gore, to insidious spores. A disaster film is called Don’t Look Up, a horror film is called Nope. Even trashy nun horror sets up strange premises of keeping your eyes fixed on something as the devil GETS you.

No idea if this is anything. (I haven’t seen any of these things because, unfortunately, I hate them.) Someone who understands better than me could say something clever here, and I hope they do.

But the thing I’m thinking about is what this will look like to the future, as the Victorian sex vampires and Cold War anxieties look to us. I think they’ll have a little sympathy, but they probably won’t. You poor little prey animals, the kids will say, you were awfully afraid of facing up to things, weren’t you?

#this is the sort of observation I make here that people #go off and write their thesis about #so while I’m not expecting to be the first or cleverest person to say this #if you do use it as a springboard #tell me if you get a good grade ok? #I’ll be tremendously proud of you #like if you take a shitpost and use it to craft deep attentive thought on something important #I just think that’s probably the most noble use of a human brain #it makes me want to take off my hat and slam it to the ground in inexpressible emotion #it’s a cowboy hat btw #and I say something like GOLDURN IT THAT KID SURE HAS DELIVERED. #ok so don’t deny me this #especially if you correct me after a long research journey #GOLDURN IT THE KID IS RIGHT!

Unpopular opinion. When you’re acting all buddy buddy with someone who literally is an asshole to your friends but think it’s ok because their nice to you then that makes you also a dick. Like if someone goes out of their way to billy gay people/ people they perceive as “emo” and your girlfriend is literally a bisexual goth, it’s an absolute slap on the face for you to go and be all nice to that person because their nice to you. I’m not saying to start drama or be an asshole but like don’t interact with them.

brennan reintroducing the bad kids with genuine titles they hold in canon like “archdevil” “captain of the owlbears” & “risen saint” but adding “holder of the tin flower” to gorgug’s intro because of how gorgug offering his tin flower to fabian, even after they fought, so effectively represents the type of person gorgug is (a kind one).

#what if i died #gorgug thistlespring #fantasy high #dimension 20 #fhjy spoilers #fhjy #if u think about it this is a win for the thistlecaster agenda (i’m delusional) #fellas is it gay if offering a tin flower to my bro which he later got put on the ax holster he gifted me is a core tenet of my character? #(no) #idk if tenet is the right word there but whatever it’s 5 a.m. idc at this point #but anyways. zac oyama characters you are often so kind & i love that about you.
