just saw asteroid city last night, pls explain the proposed significance of the kiss!!

answering this publicly hope thats ok! cant do a readmore im on mobile *****asteroid city spoilers below beware*****

i dont remember anyones names so this is gonna sound partly unhinged. okay so the edward norton playwright and jason schwartzman actor (not character, in the black and white parts) are lovers right. tbh i thought this was kind of a gag and forgot about it. but later we find out that the playwright died 6 months into the production. i didnt make the connection that THAT’s why the actor-jason has to suddenly leave the stage and freaks out backstage about how he’s not sure he’s Doing it right. hes not talking about acting!! because he himself is literally grieving his lover while he’s playing a character who’s grieving his wife written by his lover so obviously it’s too much!!! actor-jason is trying to find meaning in his death through his writing but there isnt any meaning in death [gerris drinkwater voice] which is what the play is trying to say anyway. he doesnt think he’s performing grief right even in his own life!!! (and tbh it’s the 50s so he wouldnt be able to perform grief publicly anyway!!!!) the play starts with a car accident… anyone would search for some hidden meaning there, some sign…. so when he talks to margot robbie outside it’s not really about finding the CHARACTER’s motivations it’s about the actor himself being able to process the playwright’s death! and adrien brody director was probably also dealing with that too (him and norton seemed to be good buddies) so the whole “sleeping backstage” thing gets a bit sadder maybe? maybe everyone else got this in the theatre and im just stupid lol but crazy making stuff to me!!! the whole story is about sublimated gay grief that cannot be expressed?!?!

the tweet that caught me onto this was here which posits that the playwright’s death was a suicide but i think that’s pretty stupid and unnecessary because the whole thing about the play asteroid city is that death is random and meaningless. im pretty sure that’s what the alien represents— a shocking and absurd event that isnt outright evil or menacing, not something anyone can predict or make sense of, it’s just a thing that happens to you out of nowhere, it doesnt mean anything. he’s a little black figure, he’s death! giving and taking! aagh

#you’re the wife who played my actor :(#posthumus #asteroid city #imagine youre in love with a playwright and he writes a play before he even meets you about how you cant get over his death which hasnt #happened yet. id go insane too #im going to see it again to see how this informs the whole thing because its driving me crazy #rewatching the performances knowing that they're performing people performing. augh.#remember when bryan cranston accidentally appears in frame. rending my garments #also ‘you cant wake up until you fall asleep’ confused me a bit but then i remembered that the margot robbie scene was supposed to be put o #as a dream sequence and it makes sense now. thanks #aliens are the new fairytale monster symbol of death. the ultimate Unknowable #EDIT okay i read the wikipedia summary got some facts wrong adrien brody is sleeping in the theatre during rehearsals so its not because of #the playwright’s death he’s just like that.

I don’t feel like our love is brand new. There must have been lovers, soulmates, before us, experiencing what we get to have. And it’s giving me comfort to imagine there will be many more like us to come. Our kind of love is the kind of love that makes this rotten world worth living in.

prince simon in madrid

a pilgrimage along the world that @prince-simon created 🥹

Simon’s neighbourhood, Chueca

“It’s actually the Queer Neighbourhood of Madrid, and coincidentally also where I live.” He lowered his voice as if to tell a secret, “It’s actually not a coincidence at all.” (chapter 2)

Casa de Campo (view from the Royal Palace lol oop)

Wilhelm didn’t even recognise himself. He didn’t think he’d ever looked that happy. And Simon… his eyes were closed and his curls were a mess and Wilhelm had never seen anyone more beautiful. (chapter 3)

El Retiro

Simon looked at Wilhelm much too adoringly for a statement this goofy. “The ducks are gay!” He yelled at Santiago and Paula, “Just so you know!” (chapter 9)

Palacio de Cristal

“Here’s a funny thought - bear with me, okay? But just imagine. Flowers. Everywhere, like on the ceiling, up the walls. Fairy lights scattered all through it. It would be so gorgeous as a- uh, like. For a wedding…” Realising where his train of thought had gotten him, Wilhelm fell quiet, looking at Simon with wide eyes. (chapter 9)

El Palacio Real de Madrid (more specifically the Throne Room lmfao)

Simon traced his fingers over the bruises on Wilhelm’s neck and in the opening of his dress shirt, humming contentedly. Wilhelm followed the movement in the mirror, and marvelled at how good they looked together, how well they fit together and how much Simon belonged right here – on the throne, with Wilhelm. He deserved the world and so much more. (chapter 12)

Museo Nacional del Prado

Around them, the other visitors kept moving, admiring the art on the walls, and for the moment Wilhelm felt infinite, imagining himself a painting, looked at and analysed hundreds of years from now. El Abrazo de los Príncipes.

Lo Spasimo, Raphael, 1515-1517

“Are we allowed to kiss in front of Jesus on his way to crucifixion or is that tasteless? Because I really want to kiss you right now, Simon.”

Las Meninas, Diego Velázquez, 1656

“He made me look at Velázquez in the painting and how he was looking back at the viewer, at me. I still remember the exact tone of his voice, how he was so certain when he told me that I had every right to be where I am. That I am the subject of this painting, the king being painted. All those tyrants, King Felipe and Emmanuel and all those that came in between, they are trapped in that mirror forever while I am here, alive, we’re here. Velázquez is looking at two queer princes, ready to paint us.” (chapter 13)

Casa Alberto

“So, tell me more about this special part of Madrileñan history.” He was slightly teasing but mostly actually curious.

Simon seemed all too eager to answer that question, and it hit Wilhelm how genuine Simon’s care for his city — his country — and its people was. It made him a little sad to know that a lot of people didn’t get to see that because they only focused on Simon being too gay or too Latino, or even just too carefree and enjoying life because he was young, to be their future king.

bonus content:

Iglesia de San Antonio de los Alemanes (where Simon goes to church)

“I think I need to go somewhere.”

“Oh?” Wilhelm said softly, “Right now?”

Simon hesitated before he nodded. “I need to- get some clarity? Or - I hope that I’ll get it there?” He whispered, voice shaky.

“Do you want to tell me where you’re going?”

“To- uh, to pray? I mean- to church? I don’t know if I’ll pray…” Simon’s voice was shaky, uncertainty shining in his eyes when he dared to look up at Wilhelm. (chapter 11)

#god i don’t think i have immerse myself into a fictional world so deeply before #this story lives and breathes #and i love what it has given me god to imagine when i read the first chapter i have not moved countries or gotten a cursed degree yet #he feels like a friend i held by the hand and walked through adventures together🥹#i really went to a particular restaurant and ordered particular dishes because i read about it in a book #and it was as magical as i imagined heheh #(including the snails sksksk)#prince simon i love you forever #prince simon au #prescribing everyone a reread Right Now!#give me attention and i’ll come back with extra pics of the food sksk #simon’s depression church is not mentioned in Text but this is canon source hehe #i’m not the first person to visit pscu locations and i love everyone who’s done it what a great idea it was so fun!#yes i know you’re not supposed to take photos in the prado but then i remembered this was built by a colonial powerhouse then felt less bad

“shen jiu flung BOILING WATER over the FACE of a CHILD—“

so…luo binghe tried to serve him boiling hot tea, or…?

#moi #salt is salt #svsss talk #answer: no he did not.#pouring the tea over lbh’s head was rude enough #he’s already a shitty person #and that’s IT. he’s a shitty person and NOTHING MORE. he’s not horrible/evil/rancid/irredeemable/whatever #he’s just a guy with shit social skills and even shittier coping mechanisms #you don’t need to make up new things to get mad at him over #god i swear some of you stopped reading after the TITLE #you’re not supposed to take the ‘scum villain’ in the title at face value #that’s like. what the whole goddamn book is about.#i mean come on this claim is just stupid #do you know how long it takes for boiling water to inflict third degree burns?#like a second. a single second.#if that tea had been boiling hot one of them would have ended up seriously hurt #and yet 🤔 there was nothing of the sort

one thing i always find disturbing about xianity is how they try to get people at their lowest moment and use that to convert people. like i usually laugh at the 83-for-truth billboards because there’s just so fucking many and all of them are ridiculous. but ive recently become aware of ones that say something along the lines of “ALONE?” in big letters and then “find community at church”/“find community in jesus” or something and it’s just. sinister. i’m sure some people do get through loneliness by joining a church and that helping, but targeting people who are going through rough times because you think they’re more likely to join your religion is strange

#idk it’s just. to me religion is about joy and duty. judaism provides guidelines to my life that i like and also give me things to work #towards if i can’t quite get there yet #joining because of loneliness and desperation and such. and trying to target those people because you want to exploit those vulnerabilities #it’s just kinda sad to me. like you’re taking on this big part of your life and instead of going into it with hope and joy and excitement #it’s out of. i don’t even know what to call it #but i don’t like that xians seem to be targeting vulnerable people. or at least some xians #i mean they’ve always done it i suppose but this was just so blatant #xianity

yves immediately charmed by gale… i should’ve known that man would catch you [shaking my head disapprovingly]

#*fizzyspeaks #bg3: yves #and it’s a puppy that will lap up shadowheart’s every word #you’re supposed to be scary why are you so impressionable!!!! (<- guy that has never heard a kind word in its life)#terrified of lae’zel. if she asked it to jump it will go skyrocket. doesn’t know why yet but the authority in her voice immediately grabs #it by the collar

just want to send a message of support/admiration/enjoyment that i love aeryn and your posts about him + about his relationship with gortash. beautifully fucked up situation :)

i wanted to ask, do you have ao3/fics about him linked somewhere? (my apologies if you've already posted a link and I just missed it!)

THANK YOU that means so muuuch 🫀

i haven’t completed anything for them yet unfortunately, although i’ve got their third first Real meeting in the works! do not get your hopes up about it being good or coming out soon though i’ve been finding it impossible these past few days.

here, have the first line of my old abandoned wip from before gortae really found their groove

it’s Gortash talking about Helsik (and her ability to make Paella, for some reason) by the way

#i dunno why i mean. again i know you’re not supposed to laugh at your own jokes/writing but. this is still SO funny to me.#the absurdity of gortash measuring someone’s trustworthiness by their cooking skills. it’s so stupid.#and yet i can’t be convinced that he WOULDN’T say this.#anyway thank you so much again!! you made my day :)#your daily dose of idiocy #asks

Also have a fun little life update since it’s 8 AM (the time it is everywhere in the world right now) and I haven’t slept and my partner’s work alarm is going off—

Graduated from college in 2020(sad party popper noise). Studied theatre, visual arts, art history. Emmett Timeline OUT. Andrew Rose Timeline IN.

Started testosterone and changed my name AGAIN in 2020. Got FUCKING medicated.

Worked as a manager for FuckBucks for a few years, as I feel is a valid post-theatre-degree job, many arts graduates would agree.

Started an art business that’s currently on hiatus(for moving reasons). Made a few zines. Still doing that. Had a fun pagan spiritual awakening.

Saw My Chemical Romance and The Mountain Goats within a week of each other and came out a changed man(-adjacent).

Started dating my best friend from high school and we moved to our dream city with my college roommate, my cat, and my partner’s snake the week before I turned 25.

Moved from the mountains to the ocean with a brief(lol) stint in eastern Massachusetts suburbia(read:hell).

Quit smoking cigarettes. Started smoking cigarettes again. We grow and quit again, save for when heavy drinking is involved(read: rarely).

Working at a cool artsy downtown cafe with cool artsy people!! My partner works with vampires!! Dipping my toes into theatre again(slowly)(very slowly)(literally just got this job and don’t know how to schedule that around theatre schedules)(we learn and adapt).

I picked up my Doctor Who writing fixation like an old long-untouched sketchbook full of familiar-ish art that I want to sketch over, finish unfinished pieces, and try my hand at redoing old work in a not-very-changed style. I want to write old muses like I redo character designs.

I picked up my general Doctor Who hyperfixation and slammed it against a wall like a wet teddy bear for the satisfying sound it makes.

And I am, perhaps, actually, legitimately, most importantly, the happiest I’ve been in my 25 long and short years on planet earth.

(The Brainworms for the Master & the Doctor [both separate & together entities] never went away. The Brainworms for everyone else came back with a vengeance.)

#if you’re like ‘wait what about the RYKER timeline’ then gods help you. that boy (name) has been good and gone for years now #but I suppose I’ll be impressed if you remember me specifically from Ryker #and I’ll probably reblog this a couple times bc it’s force of habit #my personal blog doesn’t get this update they all know this shit (kind of)#overtired oversharing on the internet timeeeeee #ooc #sorry I’m rambling now #gonna get lost in the tag sauce #don’t you love when you’re writing a life update for your dead rp blog for rp ghost town (affectionate) and realize. stunningly. HEY. wait.#I’m fucking. happy now. I’m fucking content now. shit’s still rocky with the move. but this is like. oh my god. oh my fucking god.#love coming to the realization (as if it hasn’t hit yet) that I am So Fucking Lucky and Soso Happy. how did that happen.#maybe it was the vampires.

i watched Us (2019) and golly gee that movie is kinda confusing in terms of message

#like obviously the tethered are the poor n the marginalized & stuff #and the events of the movie are akin to some sort of revolution #but then the tethered are portrayed as cruel animalistic murderers #basically portrayed as unsympathetic as they can be #other for small moments #but you’re still supposed to see what the tethered experience to be a horrible plight #and yet it seems like the movie wants you to think they’re like #going too far or something #which like yeah they’re murdering like everyone #so i’m just like wondering why the movie has them do that #it’s not unreasonable for the oppressed to seek to kill their oppressors #whether they know they’re oppressors or not #but the movie does really portray them as understandable it’s very #yeah they’re oppressed but they’re trying to kill me so it’s okay to not pens why thought to why they’re doing this #idk if i was going anywhere with this
