Edward Elric and Mask would get on like a house on fire.

That being said I also think they have the potential to be the best of friends. Like they’re so similar to me, they’re both loud and insane and chaotic but really are just kids at the end of the day, and they can be very polite when they want to be. And some poor overworked army guy with big dreams, depression, and a love for setting things on fire has accidentally adopted them

#Time would look at Ed and go ‘oh fuck i’ve been exactly where you are in life-‘ and ed would bite his ankles #jes talks #lu time #lu mask #edward elric

talk about je souhaite

well, yes! you know what i love about je souhaite? mulder. i love je souhaite mulder so much. this is the mulder that called the jersey devil "beautiful" and ran through the woods trying to save it. the mulder that looked the soul-eater monster in the eye and gave up the chance to save his own life, because he couldn't bear to add to the monster's pain. he's a bleeding heart behind 7 levels of delusional mania and vince writes the balance better than any other.

i love that the first thing he does is ask the genie what she would wish for, just because he wants to know. just because he's curious, and he's curious about her as a person, her own desires and input outside of the role she's cursed to play in the world. in her answer, you can see how much 500 years of being a slave to people's selfish whims has weighed on her, in the way that she tells him she would just want her days to be her own. to sit and have a cup of coffee.

at its best, this show and its lead characters endowed their central "monsters" (and victims) with so much intricate confliction, humanity within the metaphysical.

i love that mulder tries to win at the genie wish, to save the world. tries to construct the perfect wording and all-encompassing fool-proof plan. he literally throws around the phrase "the end of tyranny."

he thinks that he can crack it, that he can solve it, that he can come up with just the right wish that will make everyone safer and happier, and free. je souhaite is a quintessential season seven episode in that it's a lesson for mulder that scully already knows, scully gets to spend this episode being wise and joyful and absolutely giddy with nerdy delight.

her perspective on the genie wish (something that she doesn't believe in, but takes seriously, as she always takes him and what's important to him seriously) is perfect. "maybe it's the whole point of our lives here, mulder, to achieve that. maybe it's a process that one man shouldn't try and circumvent with a single wish."

in the end, as optimistic as his hope in what's possible is, it's a cheat. it's no more grand than the 500 years of people before him who wished for things like boats and beauty. mulder is learning lessons that scully already knows, and when the time comes, he closes his notes. you can't escape doing the work, that's the whole point of being alive.

after so much mystical pondering, the next scene is refreshingly down to earth: mulder and scully on the couch at his apartment, him complaining about her popcorn choices, her complaining about his movie choices. the way he throws the beer cap just to make her giggle.

there are few moments i love more than the exchange here, when mulder says, "i don't know if you noticed, but i never made the world a happier place." and scully casually answers, "well. i'm fairly happy. that's something."

what a lesson to be learned at the end of the day!! what a sentiment to express, to someone who spends his entire life trying to save the whole world to make up for not having been able to save one person. who spends his entire life trying to repent for having lived.

you don't have to save the world, you can call your best friend and sit on the couch and watch caddyshack. it's something, that someone loves you in a way that makes a life spent with you fairly happy. this is the point, part of what she was telling him earlier.

when she asks what his wish was, and he just smiles and turns to the movie, this cut to the final scene is one of my favorite shots of the series. the genie, finally her own person for the first time in 500 years, sitting with a cup of coffee.

#no words for how much i adore that ending scene #he asked her what she would wish for just because he genuinely cares and then he chose to use his wish to give it to her #just because he CAN do that #this show occasionally focused in on an abandonment of grandstanding missions in favor of personal connection with what's in front of you #and it's where it was strongest in my opinion #rather than exploit the genie in what would almost definitely be a futile attempt to free the world #he frees HER #he gives HER what she needs #he gives SCULLY what she needs #even when it's just time with him #this is without a doubt the biggest lesson that mulder has to learn throughout the series #that it's okay to just put it all down and sit with someone #and short of 'one breath' this is the best episode at exploring that #txf.txt #je souhaite

While I do like the Eldritch MK theory, someone suggested that instead of being the reincarnation of a past enemy, MK is instead a sacrificial lamb for an enemy to come back (with him being referred to as harbinger).

Which raises a whole other question of who he is meant to be a sacrifice for.

Baby MK overall gives off the kind of vibes where he was created to be destroyed, doesn't he? I mean, why else create a "simple creature, with no past, no family, and no name". If something was just born (from a stone or not) of course it doesn't have any of those things—why specify it? You would only specify a detail like that if it was significant to why MK was created in the first place.

Which, this thought is not exclusive to Eldritch Abomination MK or to Harbinger MK, overall that feels like the implication. MK was made to be sacrificed in one way or another, whether that's to stop a past enemy, a returning one, or some other thing.

So, with MK being a sacrifice to chaos, I'm wondering why he would be given so much power. *throws dart at my idea board* Maybe he was made as some sort of ticking time bomb, created to destroy himself plus whatever threat he was meant to be a sacrifice for. *throws another dart* Or, perhaps he was created to be able to go toe to toe with whatever ends up being the embodiment of chaos!

Just to throw another dart at the wall: maybe MK was made as a counter measure to chaos itself! "There's a reason you were at the center of all these stories", that reason being to maintain balance and prevent the end of the world (of which he's done like, 4 times over now). "You don't use a weapon...you ARE a weapon!" aka MK is the ultimate weapon against literally any big bad.

Of course I'm partial to my own theory, but this is definitely a neat idea!

#just throwing shit at the wall o7 #I hope I contributed literally anything to this conversation #but you know I'm ALL about MK being a herald of Chaos. #like MK being created to be destroyed has a certain je ne sais quoi. He really is the doomed by the narrative blorbo #You also then gotta wonder then like. HOW he got all that power/what power was used to make him #Because like. Azure creating Camel Ridge sucked all of the life out of the surrounding area right #And with MK having the amount of power he does—where did that power come from #perhaps it was just similar to how Monkey King was born. But idk man MK seems to have even more power than SWK does #Maybe it was like...a combo. Using the good ol' stone egg and something else they made a fucked up dude who could fulfill whatever purpose #who knows man #asks #lmk #lego monkie kid #lmk theory

Still thinking about the Dia de los Muertos event

It just felt so... I don't even know. It was cozy. There was such a bittersweet feeling the whole time, but it all felt so soft. Everyone was together, some crying, some watching in silence, but all experiencing the moment together. They spoke fondly and reminisced, and the dark humor you'd see when talking about egg deaths and disappearances wasn't there like it usually is. Just understanding. And sadness. And love.

#It felt just like Bobby's funeral #where you knew what was coming and what was lost #yet you weren't there to grieve #but to celebrate the good times #that's what Muertos is #a celebration #For life and death #mcyt #qsmp #qsmp dia de los muertos #love you all #te amo #amo você #je t'aime #<3

Every time I rewatch SOTUS I am struck by how Merthur coded Kongpob and Arthit are

#i have said it once and I've said it again #they are so merthur #sotus #bbc merlin #merthur #thaibl #like obviously merthur has the je nais se quois that no one else can match in my heart #but do they not share vibes? like their first meeting being kongpob standing up to arthit for the hazing #sassing him so bad everyone else is like oooOOoooh #continuing to sass him well into realising that he's actually a good leader and he genuinely believes in him #arthit being the repressed idiot who doesn't always get his own feelings or know how to express them #he's good with actions/he's not a morning person/the other hazers believe deeply in him #kongpob being the popular friendly one #arthit being easily flustered #kongpob sometimes going over the top in his praises leaving Arthit going what the fuck bro #yeah they don't have the destiny the devotion the insane humour but the beats of the relationship are the SAME #also kongpob going up to arthit and literally being like 'totally seems like you pick on me cause you like me' sfhgkjdfhg an icon #tell me merlin wouldn't do that in an alternate universe where their situation was different

Jane Eyre 1997 is actually an absurdist workplace comedy of which the director was completely self aware

#definitely. the movie ive seen #dont ask how long this took i dont want to talk about it #basically i have this disease where i can lock into exactly one thing a day #and instead of like homework or doing something even remotely productive i cranked out this future 1 noter god bless #I have more unfortunately #1997 Bertha my beloved I am giving u a 4loko original recipe and a loaded gun #ur scampering too chaotic. ur rack too juicy….they’ll kill you #je #jane eyre

lines from the 1897 play Cyrano de Bergerac that definitely have not invaded my brain or destroyed my sleep schedule

all quotes transcribed in alt text

#Cyrano de Bergerac #Edmond Rostand #quotations #plays #French #ceci je l'ai fait #rattling the bars of my cage over these three #normal ways to behave. normal things to say. #also I see u translators omitting Cyrano's “do you want to?” exchange with Christian from the first quote. cowards. COWARDS I SAY #LET THEM BE WEIRDLY INTIMATE BOY BEST FRIENDS WHO'VE ONLY KNOWN EACH OTHER 5 MINS *shakes fist* #I will provide my own questionable unrhyming translation below so my anglophone mutuals also get to enjoy this #(semicolons where commas would be. u know how it is) #CYRANO: Christian; do you want to? #CHRISTIAN: You're scaring me! #CYRANO: Since you fear to cool her heart by yourself... #...do you want - and soon you will set it ablaze! -... #...to collaborate a little; your lips with my words? #CHRISTIAN: Your eyes are shining... #CYRANO: Do you want to? #^^^ very normal things to say to a man you just met and have already called good-looking twice

tfw the Media Property Obsession is waning for whatever reason and the more it wanes, the easier it is to lose track of the vibe of the setting and the memory of the characters’ voices when you’re writing, so you have to take occasional breaks to briefly return to the canon and pickle your brain in the Media Property Obsession to make sure what you’re writing doesn’t go sliding into the Fandom Uncanny Valley

#yes this is probably better and less embarrassingly put as 'when you rewatch/reread/etc canon to make sure your characterisation is accurate #but also there's. a Feeling. you either know it or you don't. #also I'm talking like. sometimes it's like a thirty second clip or a trailer and I'm like 'RIGHT back on the horse.' #'time to reread what I wrote and find the places where he would not fucking say that' #even if 'he' wasn't even in those thirty seconds #it's about. the ATMOSPHERE. the MILIEUX. the JE NE SAIS QUOI of THIS STORY #maybe I'd be a better origfic author if I could figure out how to do this with something I invented

[noturaveragemmwatcher]

may i just say that they really need to step up the cameos on the show, it feels like all they do is traumatize morgan which again im all for but they’re so two dimensional and have little impact on the story as a whole

#and the actress who does it just doesn’t have that #je ne sais quoi #you know? #idk where she went to acting school

"je suis l'élue"

#watching 13x5 #Gotta use this in a video sometime #it's nice the lines you kinda gain and lose in different languages #bc some just lend themselves to recontextualising in a video better than others you know? #like for example in english “theres nowhere near enough of it” has this...finality #gut punch of catastrophe #lends itself very well to taking and putting into other contexts #which ive done with that line #in french that one doesnt let you do that so easily #but vice versa i think 'je suis l'élue' has this recontextualisation facto that 'im the one' doesnt really #it's about a combination of words+delivery #i think it's about rhythm a lot too. bc the french voice actors really do an amazing job at matching the original line deliveries #but Im The One has 3 syllables whereas Je Suis L'éLue has 4 #similarly theres-No-where-Near-e-Nough-of-It has an up and down #that 'il en manque énormément' just doesnt #the english line has a beat while the french one more unfurls #it does have a bit of a rhyme with manque and -ment maybe #ilenmanque-énormément #two parts #anyway thats language thoughts of the evening

your house isn’t there anymore. it’s been killed, brutally, and replaced by drywall and given a similar name. your grandfather’s passport has the wrong birthdate and too little information. your last name isn’t spelled right for what it is but the real spelling will never be found. the places in your mind are gone forever. what do you do with that?

#je parle #the place you call home is not where you were born it’s not where you live it’s not where you grew up #the place you call home doesn’t have a house there where you should have grown up #the table you should have done your homework at never existed pr of it did it doesn’t now #your mother’s kitchen is only a place you imagine #no wonder you drink #i don’t know my real last name #the syrian one #it’s not a real name #i know that #where is the real one?
