#highlight of the episode

[goblins-riddles-or-frocks]

forever obsessed with dynamics between vampires, specifically that of a maker and fledgling, as a way to explore abuse. the creation of a vampire itself can so easily be a literalization of the lasting impacts of trauma and also much more simply the ways a perpetrator might shape their victim’s very identity. the extremes of isolation in the way that the new vampire, in most narratives, must cut all ties to their mortal life, or else go through an elaborate charade to maintain the facade of humanity, while forever still being removed from it. and the sheer dependence and vulnerability of being in an entirely new state of being, wholly uncertain of what it entails, and relying on another person to define… everything.

#or just the moral dilemmas #rewatching amc interview is kind of making me insane #that moment in episode two when louis is looking for a sort of assurance in the fact that lestat may actually have some good in him #look at how he cares about music look at the simple wondrous things that can bring him joy #and then the immediate dread when the opera performance turns out to be imperfect because he knows how lestat will react to *that* #I think there’s also something really interesting in the highlighting of lestat upbraids the less skilled singer before killing him #(slowly) #but also I will wait to watch more before I articulate my thoughts #vampires #interview with the vampire #amc interview with the vampire #i ramble sometimes #I do still find the lestat and claudia film and novel dynamic by far the most compelling for how she tries to usurp him but almost to be him #but I’m enjoying this #I’m very curious if I will like show claudia more on rewatch #the movie always resonated most with me (sue me lol) because there seemed to be more simultaneous fondness and attachment even at the end

I see your “Alice and Celia are anagrams” post and raise you a “Alice and s1 Jon are wearing the same hat”

S1 Jon is desperately skeptic bc he’s scared & doesn’t feel in control so he’s bluffing in a way that comes across as unlikable. I think Alice is also haunted by the job but faking her way through it by bullishly insisting others don’t think about it… also in a way that can come across as unlikable.

#not me tho I love my good friend Alice Dyer who has never done anything wrong in her life #highlight of the episode to me was the implication that she’s a tall girl #wife material #tmagp #the magnus protocol #I just think she’s brought up the fact that this job doesn’t bother her a tad too much #something something the lady doth protest

the easiest byler proof:

mike: i care for you so much.

el: care… but you don’t love me anymore?

mike: who said that i didn’t?

el: you never say it!

mike: i say it.

el: you can’t even write it, mike. from mike, from mike, from mike, from mike, from, from, from-

mike: okay, eleven you’re being ridiculous. like what is this?

VS

mike: thanks by the way…

will: for what?

mike: for knocking some sense into me. i mean i was being a total self-pitying idiot.

will: ah i didn’t say it.

mike: you didn’t have to.

#like the difference in these two conversations is HIGHLIGHTED #they happen in the same episode for a reason #‘who said that i didn’t?’ vs ‘you didn’t have to’ ITS RIGHT THERE PEOPLE PAY ATTENTION #byler #will byers #mike wheeler #stranger things

it's so funny to me that brennan has wanted pvp so bad for so long that he introduced a non-dnd mechanic just to get it. A+ work. we should all be so lucky as to be delightfully strong armed by our dm into trying to kill our friends

#lou's pure delight at getting to be an agent of chaos was a highlight of the episode for me #he always does his best work going big. and by god was he given the opportunity #fantasy high #junior year spoilers #dimension 20

Huh look at that

In all honesty, I’ve always been impressed by Zeno’s performance as Hunter. Even when I wasn’t particularly invested in Hunter as a character at first (this has changed, obviously lol), Zeno’s performance always stuck with me. And knowing he got the role because of Hunter’s little break down in Eclipse Lake in his audition just makes me appreciate his performance, and that whole scene in particular, so much more. Each episode I left it more and more impressed with just how talented this guy is and I began to notice he is in a bunch of other things I watch and he is just as good in those as he is here.

The talent and range Zeno has makes him stand out so much and letting Hunter slowly break down his walls episode by episode allows for that talent to really be heard. That strong, intimidating, and powerful voice he once started with as the Golden Guard has become this more soft, dorky, and energized voice for Hunter. It shows how much has changed, how much he’s grown, how much Hunter has found himself. Zeno’s performance reflects that incredibly and I think it’s worth noting just how quickly Zeno could bring Hunter’s voice back to the Golden Guard tone once the mask was on in Thanks to Them because it once again highlights that growth Hunter has had as a character since episode one and highlights Zeno’s range in his performance.

I don’t think it’s an unpopular opinion to say Zeno is one of the strongest voices in the entire cast. I’d go even further to say he is the strongest voice in the cast, but that’s me. He just continues to impress me every episode and he’s always leaving with a performance that is gut-wrenchingly heart breaking or adorably heart warming. It’s a good performance either way because the passion is there and it keeps you engaged.

I can go on because I truly adore this man and his performance a ton, but I think I’ve made my point.

So here’s the clip again bc it is incredibly well done and Zeno really does deserve the praise that he gets. Also cuz Sarah’s performance was incredible here as well.

And to make us all emotional again, woo.

#the way I was right tho look at me #gonna go cry again #he was such a highlight of this episode #and I love knowing Zeno connected so much with hunter in this moment #it makes that performance feel even more real #also I’m literally editing a thing about Zeno’s performance #idk when it’ll be done bc I wanna make sure it all flows right #I’ve had fun with it #anyways #I’m telling you #i continue to stay impressed #the owl house #toh #the owl house spoilers #toh spoilers

[notbecauseofvictories]

the most affective thing I've ever watched on climate change was comedian Jordan Klepper's episode on the L'eau Est La Vie water protectors in Louisiana. Not because it was well put together or terribly comprehensive (there's a documentary that does it better) but because it was the first time I'd seen a public figure follow in activists' footsteps---and be scared so absolutely shitless, he can't quite hide it from the cameras.

these days, Klepper goes to the big political rallies and smirks and jokes, and though that can be fun to watch---it just isn't the same.

#I don't say this with disdain; I know exactly how brave I can be #and I am probably closer to klepper than I want to admit. (maybe not even that brave; you don't see me in a boat in the dark.) #but that episode really did illuminate things. it highlighted how incredible these people are; that absolute clarity of purpose #meted with righteous anger and not a lack of fear but a devotion that eclipses it. #sacred. I think it's sacred. #it's been 5 years and I still think about that episode.
