Schneider's family ; The significance of Marian

REVERSE 1999 SPOILERS AHEAD : FOR CHAPTERS 1 AND 2 ! Please tread carefully and make sure you only read about what you're willing to know.

I know we're all still completely in shambles from Chap. 2, but I wanted to make a speculation about Schneider-- and a comment about how well she's written !

Let me start with this: In many pieces of media, viewers, listeners and readers alike are told that a character has people they care for. They're told a character has a lover, a wife, kids, a family, a sister. We're told the same about Schneider: that she has 11 older siblings, and that she works in the mafia to support them.

However, it's very rarely that we're given a name and a face for these supposed loved ones. And even rarer is it that they're written well, not just as a ploy for empathy, but as their own character: Ladies, gentlemen, and esteemed guests: I present to you, Marian.

Marian is one of my favorite characters just as a stand-alone: she's realistic, she's anxious, she clings to Schneider like a lifeline-- but she's brave, too. I'd love to do an in-depth analysis on her another time, but we're here for another reason.

Marian, first of all, shows us what Schneider's family is like. How they were raised, what they believe in, who they depend on. Soft topic, I know, but as someone of Italian lineage, it's very important to me that I point this out: Marian is extremely religious.

Immigrants of every kind tend to be religious. It gives them much more faith than they ever could have: a new lifeline. They managed to make it across such a winding sea? Oh, thank the lord. They haven't been kicked out of the Americas for emigration? Thank you, holy one. There's so many more reasons for this than "they need something they don't have"- maybe the fact that the rendition of god in every religion is said to love everybody, not just those who were born into wealthy families with the bluest eyes and the blondest hair.

When in a moment with no reason, and all different kinds of desperate measures being needed.. Schneider does what her family coaxes her to. She prays.

(I can't find a screenshot, but please refer to the iconic "I didn't know you prayed" scene, and the screenshot directly below this sentence.)

I also want to point out a large difference between Schneider and her family: Schneider's perspective on a 'god' differs so, so much from her family's.

She looks to whoever may be above, in her world, scornfully-- at least, in the present day. In her past, there is a particularly impactful line I want to debunk.

"The god there ... loves the world." Schnider's family seems to believe that god was the one guiding them, the one who will forgive them-- Schneider believed that it was a whole different entity. This kid believes that the god in Sicily, whoever they may be, does not love the world-- and mio dio, if that's not fucked up, I don't know what is.

And, when Schneider comes to America and sees that shit isn't as it's cut off to be, she's resentful of whoever this god may be. She gives a pray as her last bet-- what her family wants.

And it's not that she doesn't believe in this god-- no. She just doesn't believe they love her.

"Finally forgive me" -- Finally being the key word here. She's lived all her life never being treated to mercy or being 'forgiven for her sins' -- and at her most fragile, exposed moment, she relents to what her family has taught her. To what she truly believes-- to Sicily, to Marian, her sorella. Maybe even all 11 sorelle and her parents.

And, again, they're different at face value. Marian is calm, kind. She dresses modest and has her hair grown out: she's timid, too, not befitting of a mafia boss. She's different from her younger sister.. but she's still important. She shows us another side of Schneider: and, more importantly, she shows us what-- no, who Schneider is fighting for.

Marian provides us with extremely beneficial background context of where Schneider comes from-- and, in that process, gives many of us someone to empathize with. Yes, I too know somebody at least a little like her. You do too, likely.

Maybe, you're even like Schneider-- maybe she's someone you'd aim to protect.

,,aaand that's the little lore rant. Whew! Now to study for my math finals. I hope you have a good day :)

Midwestern emo songs are fucking insane cause it'll be this sad mid boy who can't sing for the life of him and then suddenly they say the most profound lyrics that would make shakespeare, edgar allen poe, and fiztgerald all simultaniously go into a coma and you sit there like hell yeah. anyways.

#tfb my beloved #midwestern emo #the front bottoms #mccafferty #sorority noise #“I don't know how god thinks but god do you love me?” HELLO??#“you were high school. And I was just more like real life. And you were okay as a girlfriend- I was just more like his wife.” SIR-???#“maybe I'm not the person that I never wanted to be” BRB SOBBING?#music #modern baseball #wolfman by tfb is my latest repeated song the bridge literally makes me ascend I go insane #chaotic is thinking again

i am so very curious who these new pjo-verse books are being written for

and before you come at me with the it’s middle grade they’ve always been middle grade stuff, consider

it’s literally been almost 20 years since TLT was published. fans of the original pjo books are well into their 20s, if not their early 30s by now (heeeey). second generation with HoO are also now in their 20s, with the third gen of ToA readers being in their late teens. there’s a whole range of audience members who are not fifth graders mainlining the series in one summer.

is he just going to keep pretending there’s not an audience who would be here for more mature writing? and that doesn’t mean making things ~sexy or super dark and bloody or whatever because pjo has never been about that. it means elevating the style and characterization on a deeper level and, idk, paying attention to your fucking universe. i thought RR did a great job of maturing the writing for ToA, but it always got held down by the fart humor and stupid pop culture references.

making the “it’s for middle schoolers!” excuse every book cycle when someone points out that hey, this is inconsistent with what you wrote two books ago or why does percy never grow up is such a lazy co-opt. you have a huge audience of all ages! if you insist on continuing to write in this universe, acknowledge us! up the quality, i dare you! i dare you!!!!!

#hello yes i am mad at RR again what a shock #this post brought to you by first few chapters of TSATS #you're telling me i waited over a DECADE for a nico-led book and THIS is what i've been given????#i'm gonna burn the house down when the chalice of the gods comes out i can fucking feel it #YOUR OLD FANS EXIST RICK!!!!!!#can't wait for the twitter stans to find this and cyber bully since they're the only fans to exist ever

honestly, ghost didn’t know from the get go he had a size kink. he’s well aware of his size and strength. he never considered getting off on the idea of someone smaller than him until he met you. his hands engulf yours almost twice over, and on your hips? so small and malleable for him, it goes straight to his dick. speaking of, when he catches the sight of it bulging out of your tummy when he hits it from the right angle he has to hold back from cumming right there. quick to grab your hand and place it over the bulge, relishing in the weak whimpers that leave you when the realization of how much larger than life he is in every aspect of the phrase.

#🧋 ; thirsts.#call of duty smut #simon ghost riley x male reader #call of duty x male reader #this is half assed but. god i love belly bulges :((( break me in half thanks #CRACKS OPEN THE DRAFTS CRYPT AGAIN HELLO

(go on and) kiss the boy

“So,” Mike starts, drawing out the word, and Will turns to him. “Any ideas on how to spend the next fifteen minutes?” It’s teasing, suggestive when he wiggles his eyebrows, and it’s so unexpected that Will lets out a surprised laugh, unabashed, and it’s so easy, how the tension falls away, and it’s only them again. “You’re ridiculous,” Will shakes his head, smiling, but Mike looks proud of himself anyway. He points out, “I don’t hear you complaining.” Will scoffs, nudging at him with an elbow. “Whatever,” he smoothly replies. Mike grins.

Will, Mike, and the numerous attempts at their first kiss.

Después de arreglarle la corbata a su padre y de hacer sociales con otras madres junto con la propia, Salomé decide alejarse un poco. Si bien no busca explícitamente a sus hermanas, sus ojos se mueven por el perímetro como un radar que quiere ubicar a las otras dos herederas del imperio de los Vila. Sólo encuentra a su madre -de vuelta- que le hace señas para acercarse. La ex superestrella del pop ama a su madre pero la idea que le confirió la fémina hace poco la incomoda: "aprender del casino y su funcionamiento te hará feliz" le dijo, y desde entonces ha hablado de esta reunión como el gran momento para comenzar a ocuparse de algo importante, como para regresarle un poco el autoestima. La rubia reflexiona la idea a solas y algo le gusta y demasiado la asusta, por lo que quiere evitar que la arrastren a ella con tanto ímpetu. Por eso se escabulle, buscando un rostro conocido. El vestido pesado no le dificulta el andar, quizá por el anhelo de encontrarse una conversación que la eleve un poco. Sonríe, hallando su nuevo objetivo. —Hola, tú—saluda, un poco preocupada ahora por no meter la pata en la interacción: —, ¿no parece la fiesta de té del Sombrerero Loco? —Suelta el chascarrillo, sintiéndose infantil después.

#hello god it's me again #cuento likes y reblogs y todo eso :-)#y contesto con nai :D

I feel fucking crazy!!!!!!!!!!

(thinking about the way he convinced her he was still himself. his smile when she said his name. the way he said hello. the way he simply looked at her. how he had to act like everything was normal because he was so scared she was gonna leave him. the hurt when she asked him to change back, just exacerbating that fear even more. him trying to play it off as if he's totally fine with sending her home even though it's absolutely and utterly the last thing he'd ever want to do. his pride at finally getting her to smile, only to be immediately dashed when she snapped at him. the way he made the worst impression after that and scared the life out of her.

oh, just everything, all of it.)

#I don't think you understand how much born again changed me as a timepetals girlie #it's my favorite thing ever and I'm so upset it's not just part of the christmas invasion bc I missed it my first time around #like imagine how many people have not seen it!!!! gah!!!!!#literally think it's integral to watch born again. if u miss it then you are somehow missing so so much for them #I can't even describe why. I don't know. it's just important #y'know in the stone rose when he says hello after kissing rose. and how he says hello in born again. I think he says them in the same way #the adoration. the love. the relief. the joy of it all. fuck #maybe I'm romanticizing this special in my head to be more than it was but Idgaf!!!!!! it's so. it's soo. god help me.#timepetals #tenrose #tenth doctor #rose tyler #doctor who
