Suddenly smacked in the face by the implication of Romeo's message where he says "I remember you, so there's no reason for us to fight. I suppose."

I always thought the wording was weird, but didn't think too much on it... Until recently after we discussed some datamined stuff in the Carmeo/Promeo server. There's a scrapped line (where P was supposed to speak) that says "I may not remember, but I'm still your son" during the NP fight, and while the scrapped lines are their own can of worms, let's focus on the memory parts.

I had always thought that once a puppet woke up, they would just get their memories back. But the fact seems to be this: There are select memories that come back to give bits and pieces of their past that "wake" them up-- cause them to change, as we see with P and the necklace; As we see from the spliced memories at the Black Seaside. However, it might not be all one's memories that come back. Whether those spaces stay blank or come back over time, who knows.

What I'm trying to get at here is...

Romeo's memories might only consist of Carlo at the time of waking. Carlo was what woke Romeo-- "I remember you"-- He had the necklace, he knew from who it was; He recognized the face P was modeled after. "So there's no reason for us to fight, I suppose"-- there's a lack of confidence in the wording here. Friends aren't supposed to fight, right? That's what his memory tells him, at least.

And the only memories P tends to get in regards to his past? Those in relation to Romeo, his aspirations, and of his own death. Seemingly, these are the things most important to him.

They were the most important people to each other; They remembered each other, just one too late than the other.

#Lies of P #Lies of P Spoilers #The “I may not remember” part hit me like a sack of BRICKS before I went to bed and I was like #“Oh shit oh fuck oh shit wait what oh sHIT--” fhsddfd I was way too invested in everything else at the time #and then that hit me. And then Romeo's message hit me. And the necklace flavor text and his ergo flavor text. #And I just went-- “Does Romeo... JUST remember things relating to Carlo?... Would he.. not remember other specific stuff?” #And it all crashed down on me and I suddenly had to draft the thought real quick on my phone before sleeping on it adhdfs #But wow. Yeah. I. It makes sense?? Like... maybe they don't remember everything at all just bits and pieces. Or maybe they do with time. #Both paths are good and interesting tbh I should...incorporate that in my stuff~ mmmMMMMMMM VERY COOL TO THINK ABOUT #and painful. So and so painful uGH I LOVE THEM

Wait. Hold on. I just finished my second watch of season two and I have a theory…

I think Aziraphale knew he fucked up before he ever got on that elevator.

HEAR ME OUT!

I think the moment that he heard that his big project would be the Second Coming, he instantly realized Crowley was right. As soon as the Metatron mentions the Second Coming, Aziraphale looks directly to Crowley with what I think is very-well-concealed panic. I don’t think that was a wistful gaze at what-might’ve-been. I think that was an instinctive entreaty for help from the person he trusts most in the world, followed by the immediate realization that he can’t ask for Crowley for help without letting the Metatron know something’s wrong.

Because Aziraphale KNOWS that the Second Coming is just a different flavor of Armageddon, it’s literally the rapture. There’s no planet where our boy has changed so much that he’d be willing to bring about the end of humanity, and the fact that he didn’t object to the idea instantly is important. To me, it means that Aziraphale must’ve made a split-second decision to play along. He didn’t have time to tell Crowley what was wrong, and even if he could’ve, he didn’t have enough information to put a stop to it.

Basically, I think that in the moments after the Metatron mentioned the Second Coming Aziraphale realized several things in quick succession

Crowley was right.

He and Crowley were going to have to save the world again.

If they were going to stop another apocalypse, they needed to know what they were up against.

The only way to know was to have a man on the inside.

There wasn’t time to tell Crowley any of it.

Now the question is, how does Aziraphale let Crowley know what’s going on?? Because he can’t stop Armageddon 2 (Electric Bugaloo) by himself.

#good omens #mine #good omens 2 #Crowley #Aziraphale #cuz look y’all… the angel didn’t start fake smiling until AFTER the Setting Coming was mentioned #before that he seemed ok with showing the Metatron that he was upset #But after it suddenly seemed like his mask was more important #and he doesn’t look back at Crowley until after either #I think everything came crashing down on him all at once #and couldn’t do a thing about it #it’s also the only explanation I can come up with for him not immediately objecting to the idea of the second coming #even if he were trying to regain heavens favor he wouldn’t stand by and let someone suggest killing all humans #so either he’s faking it #or coffee theory is real #(and I don’t think coffee theory is real) #and like! It makes sense! #cuz the only reason they were able to work against the first Armageddon was because Crowley was playing inside man #so it only makes sense that they need an inside man for this one too! #so Aziraphale NEEDS to be back in heavens good graces

i like ghostflower (hell I draw fanarts for them) but I’ve decided I like the version of them in my head more and will just stay away from the fandom in general cuz I’ve seen some discussion and they just make me go “what on earth are y’all on” 💀💀💀💀

#“miles will immediately forgive gwen when he sees she’s gathered a whole team to save him WHAT #he’ll save himself first then befriend Miles G. and Miles G. will start hissing like the cats when that team comes and Miles looks upset #like I firmly believe miles will only talk to Hobie and Margo after all that cuz they r the two that stand by his side thru whole that #like that take is so insane when Hobie is the reason Miles can run away in the first place and Margo risks everything to allow Miles leaving #AND HE KNOWS #u don’t even need a scale to see who Miles will associate with safety and protection more after atsv #also “miles keep getting up after he’s beaten down cuz that what Gwen told him to do in itsv is ALSO insane cuz WHAT #the thing she said when she and others were berating and crowding Miles for not knowing how to be Spider-Man just FEW DAYS after he’s bitten #?????? #THAT THING???? #not his mom’s words or his uncle’s or idk THAT’S HOW HE IS??? #*walk in the tag* *walk out immediately* #u don’t have to make them the only person in each other’s life to prop the ship up especially in this case cuz it makes no sense 😭 #actually the first point srl piss me off cuz that team was only possible in the first place cuz of Hobie and Margo and Miles laying #the groundwork by just being a sweetheart he is #charming and inspiring ppl so ofc these kids will rally behind him and team up to save him #ykno LIKE IN THE COMIC TOO??? #ppl just have to take the only thing I don’t like in the movie (miles suddenly obsessed over Gwen when they didn’t even interact that much #in itsv) and magnify it x100 in fandom #if she ain’t a gremlin girl that is trying her best to regain Miles’ trust but it’s a slow process and Miles needs space and time first then #I don’t want it

watching ep 10 was like looking both ways before crossing the street and then being hit by an airplane

#listen i was expecting angst but what was that??? #i thought this episode would be about the organization going after kazuki and miri NOT HER MOTHER SUDDENLY TURNING UP??? #AND MAKING A MESS OUT OF EVERYTHING??? #like it was so random? #and tbh i just feel like the whole plotpoint of miris mother not wanting to raise her was already pretty solid like for her to drastically #change like that out of nowhere? idkk i dont really like it #i hope in the next episode this makes sense somehow :( #buddy daddies

I know everyone has said it but man you really can just get everything to make sense by putting it in Kacchan terms.

#man could not for the life of him figure out the egg analogy but tell him how Kacchan does it and suddenly everything makes sense #bakudeku #mha #mha manga spoilers

behold. i managed to make things move pretty

I don't know if anyone's brought up this critique of the pjo show yet, so I wanted to:

Look, I get where the writers' problem came from. As the pjoverse goes on, the more and more you realize just how shitty the gods are. And it's hard to justify why we ought to be on their side at all. So when writing this tv series, they wanted to make it clear they know and we know that the gods are shitty (also probably bc they don't want to be endorsing their behavior to kids? idk).

But the problem is that the original Percy Jackson series is about Percy becoming a hero, and not just any kind of a hero, but a hero of Greek mythology (see my posts about this). The entire story is him learning what it means to be a Greek hero, rejecting the paths of those before him, and becoming his own kind of hero. By not giving us a reason to root for the gods, you're also taking away Percy's character arc. Look, it's not Percy Jackson the regular guy who's too good for all this who saves the day. It's Percy Jackson the fucking hero who belongs to this world and is still brave enough to change it who saves the day

#idk if i'm clear enough #i'm just emptying drafts #also like Percy feels at home in the camp and Greek world #it's when everything about his life so far suddenly makes sense #why are we treating him like he's too special and above it all for it #his mom didn't want him to know about the greek world bc its DANGEROUS and she wanted to keep him SAFE that it's that's the only reason #idk i'm not making sense sorry #pjo show #pjo show crit #agent h #agent report

By the Shores of Silver Lake was my least favorite Little House book as a kid, and upon starting the reread, I could see why. Earlier books had Laura as a child observer--not engaging in or totally understanding the wider world of the adults, but still engrossed in the simple joys of childhood. In this book, Laura is neither child nor adult--she's too old to play like a child, but she's too young to take an active part in adult life, so she's stuck in this awkward middle ground.

Yet as the book went on, I started to see that that was the point. This book is about growing up, about being on the brink of adulthood and trying to hold onto childhood while also becoming someone new. Laura's growing-up is paralleled with the "growing up" of the country around her. Both the old and the new ways of life have their benefits and their downsides, and Laura has to figure out how to hold onto the best of both.

The prairie is beautiful, wondrous, free. Laura would love to just roam forever, always traveling west, always seeing new places. She doesn't want to marry, doesn't want to teach school, doesn't want anything to change about her way of life. But one can't stay a child forever. Eventually, the infinite possibility of childhood has to turn into the definite identity of adulthood. She has to take responsibility and settle down. The arrival of the town brings that adult life to the prairie, and in doing so, it destroys the innocent wonders of nature--the majestic wolves lose their home, the buffalo are gone, and the ducks no longer land at Silver Lake. Laura has to wrestle with this--is childhood, for herself and the prairie, gone forever? Does she have to let go of childlike wonder and embrace the mundane responsibility of adult life?

This theme is resolved when Laura finds Grace in the buffalo wallow. It's a place of impossible magic and beauty, a carpet of fragrant violets hidden away from the world with butterflies flying overhead, so perfect it seems like a fairyland. Of course Grace, the innocent child, is the one who was able to find it. When Laura asks Pa about it later, he explains that the "fairies" that made this magical ring were buffalo. There's a mundane explanation for the phenomenon, but that doesn't destroy the wonder and beauty of the place--adult knowledge enhances, rather than destroys childlike wonder. The buffalo might be gone, but there's still beauty left behind. Laura can move forward into the future and know that there are still wonders to find. She can be an adult and still maintain a childlike wonder, can take responsibility and still find comfort in the safety of home and family.

This thematic resonance made so much about the book so much deeper. It's the message of the entire series distilled into story form. Remember the past, children, but go forth boldly into the future. It's a message much easier to see with an adult's eyes, so I'm so glad I gave this book another chance.

#on the shores of silver lake #little house #laura ingalls wilder #i probably only saw this theme #because i just read her collection of fairy poems #and read a bunch of her farm columns where this theme is very prominent #she loves the simple joys of life #emphasizes the importance of hanging onto wonder and joy in the face of simple tasks #her descriptions of how much she loved taking out the cattle as a child made those scenes hit much deeper #those are the times when she gets to see the beauty of nature! #it makes the mundane chore a chance for beautiful reflection! #that kind of thing is all over this book and you know it's my jam #the point where this book really started to make sense was the scene with the wolves #laura faces this majestic wolf in the moonlight and it's like a fairy tale #the fading away of a fairy king #and suddenly everything about the theme just snapped into place #if i were a scholar my dissertation would be #'these books aren't just an old lady's memories or her daughter's libertarian tracts they're art and can we please talk about them like art

i'm about to finish rotk on friday (am working 24 hours tomorrow 😔) which means i'll have read the entire trilogy in like. 10 days. i can't remember when i breathed through something this quickly and joyfully, and I don't want it to end, and the real question now is if i can read the entire silm in one week before I'll be on vacation or if i should take a lil break because man. man

#*mine #mona rambles #one of the best things is just how the world is more and more revealed to me and random bits of knowledge i had suddenly make sense #it just brings me so much joy and i should take a lil break before diving into the silm #(and the unfinished tales etc after /that/ because let's be real that's gonna happen directly after also who am i kidding) #to just. process things. but also i haven't been this hyperfixated for such a long time in ages and i just. #feel like that bird under his eating dome completely feral devouring everything because it's just that good #said it before but this is like pure mona catnip it's boding terribly/wonderfully for the foreseeable future. lmao #but also my wips are crying. i already have like #40 plots #and they just keep multiplying it's uhhh #yea #anyway
