I do love the hunger games renaissance and the new theories popping up everywhere. But one theory I refuse to accept is that "Cinna was planted by district 13 and that's why he was a rebel and that's why he chose district 12". Like no... Cinna is infinitely more interesting as a Capitol native who grew up being fed all that propaganda and yet still couldn't gring himself to see district people as anything other than human went to art and fashion school and maybe met other rebels like Portia and channeled his feelings into his art like he said he always does and when he got the games gig chose to style the underdog the one who's the most ridiculed because if he can humanize the ones the Capitol despises the most maybe people will start to wake up and see that those are human beings they are killing and he hit the jackpot with Katniss and Peeta and Haymitch. Besides, a headcanon like that just assumes that no person born in the Capitol would be a rebel and completely dismisses Plutarch and Fulvia and Cressida and Messala and Castor and Pollux, granted Castor and Pollux have personal reasons to rebel, but still humanity does exist even in the Capitol that's one of the lessons Katniss learns and fiercely protects and dismissing that by making Cinna a district 13 citizen just annoys me.

The inherent homoeroticism of your nemesis, your sworn enemy that was once like your brother, the one you once cherished and admired but now loathe and despise, dying in your big beefy glistening sweaty bloodied arms

Man, I knew the Messala was a big suit but those boosters really make it a chonker. This has been in my backlog since October and I’m glad to get around to it. It was a nice surprise that all its spare parts fit onto the base.

After demonstrating unparalled cognitive capabilities, engineering prowess, and valuable practical experience as a government official, the Gijin Messala was commissioned as an officer of the Siliconian Empire by direct order of Emperor Siliconian XII, becoming the first and only Gijin official in Imperial history.

In addition to his prominent contributions to Gijin research and development, Messala was involved in many Imperial tasks over the course of his career, including public and foreign relations, territorial government, and, on occasion, direction of troops.

In the later years of his service, Messala returned to the capital province, where he became more directly involved with the oceanic unification effort.  At the time of Siliconian XIII's ascension, Messala was serving as a weapons engineer and intelligence analyst for the Imperial Navy.  Messala flourished under Siliconian XIII's aggressive expansionist policy and demand for modern armament, and would eventually be appointed Chief Intelligence Officer, an executive position answering directly to the Emperor.

I finished watching Ben-Hur (1959) yesterday and I have Thoughts. (Spoilers may abound)

It's interesting how Judah cannot really grieve for his friend and the lost friendship until his friend is destroyed - indirectly, by him. And Judah's face when Messala's chariot breaks - it makes me wonder if Judah truly could have killed Messala, when it came to it. He grieves for the friend he lost while vowing vengeance on him. And Messala decided that seeing Judah again, after Judah's victory, was worth dying for.

It's a powerful bond between them, whether of love or hatred.

I think Messala may be the most conflicted of all, though Judah's story is prominent. He has given up two people, who mean a lot to him, for power - Judah and Tirzah. And that desire for power is what ultimately leads to his death.

I wonder what would have happened if he had lived. He would have been broken, a strange parallel to Simonides, but would he have been forgiven? If he had turned back to the boy he had been, would Judah have accepted him again? I think Judah, by that stage, was too used to hating Messala; 'every stroke of that oar' was a long time. It was a driving force in his life.

And what of Tirzah? She evidently cared for Messala; would she have forgiven him, when the leprosy was gone?

Judah is both powerfully conflicted and dangerous. I don't use that word lightly. He is prone to violence if his questions are unanswered. How much this will have changed after 'the sword was taken out of [his] hand', I can't tell. But his life has several driving forces and fierce conflicts that do not align. He is passionate about everything that he does, and the gentlest you ever see him is with Esther. But Esther is not immune to his anger either. He can and will shove her aside, pin her to the wall, grip her arms, when his questions remain unanswered. Ben Hur is strong and dangerous; he needs to re-learn the gentleness that was beaten out of him.

He reminds me, a little, of John Thornton in North and South at the start - sharp, uncaring of what others think of him, willing to be violent to protect those he cares about.

All in all, this is a film of power. Unapologetically real and hard, with only hidden sweetness. And that reminds me of Rob McLaughlin (and Charlton Heston would have been a perfect casting for him if anybody was), especially in Thunderhead.

[Ben-Hur] Judah & Messala - Brother

“Though we don't share the same blood You're my brother and I love you that's the truth

We're living different lives Heaven only knows If we'll make it back with all our fingers and our toes Five years, twenty years, come back It will always be the same

I've got you brother I've got you brother...”

Messala Corvinus imperatorem suum Cassium praedicabat

or, like, your 20s are for living through a major turning point in history and crushing on your commander so hard that 2,000 years later your loyalty to him is an identifiable thing that will survive history and people will write about it, but god what tragedy and doom, what misfortune it must be to meet the person who'll make such an impression on you so early in your life and at the very end of his, you'll never forget your first-- (plays alt-j at full volume)

nGL I'd be pretty upset if Flat's whole character was tossed out the window for Thia. I dont think that'll be the case but with only 2 books left it's frustrating. I just hope we get Flat's final chunk of lore answered in Fake and not Adventures and not just "lol it was all hyping Thia" because dear god I'd have rather Thia be written from the beginning rather than having me get attached to Flat wanting to see HIS story along side Jack's and then be like "jk it's about a different character"
