I just want you all to know, that if and when this site does experience a real exodus and/or get sunsetted for good, even if we don't keep in touch I'll remember you so fondly. You're the online equivalent of the other kid on the beach where we built sandcastles together; the girl at the campsite where we explored the trees. You're the drunk person who shared kind words in the bathroom at the club, you're the talented artists at the life drawing class or the poetry night in a city where I don't live anymore. It makes me sad that maybe in the future our paths won't cross so easily, but even when we leave this little shared piece of cyberspace, carried away on our briefly intersecting trajectories, just know I still love you

#gosh yes #to think that tumblr might not be forever part of my online life #which it has been for far too many years now #is a bit sad #i am a passive member of several awesome fandoms and I have no idea where i’d go to see all the gifsets and edits and head canons and fanar #not to forget funny shitposts and unhinged takes on life you often see here #the memes #the art and fanfics #all that makes tumblr special #where else would you find all that?

#ugh #this is so terribly beautiful #the romance of it #the tragedy #she would think hard all night until his answer was right #love #sphynx

When I suddenly remembered that Rust Cohle spent almost his entire childhood raised by his father in Alaska and now the fourth season of True Detective is set in Alaska.

And that his father's name is Travis...

And that Cohle said, "He had a lot of strange ideas..."

...That is straight up Rust's Daddeh.

#it has been confirmed #the travis in the new season is indeed #travis cohle #shocking #true detective

the thing about rust cohle is that he shouldn't work as a character but he's enough of the human equivalent of a townes van zandt song that he does work. insane.

#nah but you don’t understand #i love and am in love with townes directly because of #true detective season 1 #lungs playing after papanya a gilbough meet you-know-who #i was obsessed with #true detective #rust x marty #rustin cohle #AND #townes van zandt #so anyway #this post speaks to me on a personal level #just wanted to say that

I think human consciousness is a tragic misstep in evolution. We became too self-aware. Nature created an aspect of nature separate from itself. We are creatures that should not exist by natural law. We are things that labor under the illusion of having a self, this accretion of sensory experience and feelings, programmed with total assurance that we are each somebody, when in fact everybody's nobody. I think the honorable thing for our species to do is to deny our programming. Stop reproducing. Walk hand in hand into extinction. One last midnight, brothers and sisters opting out of a raw deal.

Rust Cohle, True Detective S1 E1

#true detective #the man has spoken #do i agree? #eh #it’s whatever #but yeah in principle i do agree #I’ll meet you there Rustin #you and all the other depressed nihilistic nobodies

[thephoboss]

best friend: im coming over you better not be developing a nihilistic yet magical and somewhat honest philosophy around your detachment and disillusionment

me:

#and I oop #rustin baby you were my inspiration in so many unhealthy coping mechanisms #rust cohle #true detective #nihillism #this reality we live in is made for detachment no?

[thephoboss]

I've said this all before but I just go crazy every time this scene comes on and it's in the first ten minutes of the whole show who allowed this to happen, I--

first of all: Nix is just waiting there for Dick and there's no introduction, no greetings, just straight into boring, best friend banter that establishes for the audience that oh! these two have rapport! they know each other enough to joke! and the conversation keeps going, quips about happy hour and civilized places for civilized men and then they pull this shit--

"Should've been born earlier, Nix." // "And what? Give up all this?"

what the fuck, what the fuck--

this fucking look, man, like. you can already tell from the conversation they just had that lewis might be someone who never takes things seriously, who uses jokes to protect himself and has this reputation of being nonchalant about everything (despite feeling so so much, as we'll learn later on), and so at first we think that this is a joke and it is a joke! but then dick turns around and gives him that look and lewis' sardonic expression falls and there's this silent exchange and you get this feeling that dick knows that even jokes are half meant and this one, especially, has an undercurrent of truth in it so goddamn heavy that it hits hard enough for dick to turn around and smirk at nix--

--because for once, he's managed to pull the god damn honest truth and then you think, what am i missing, really? what is nix actually saying? and you realize--

he is saying; "no, i'd rather go to war than not know you."

he is saying; "i wouldn't wanna miss out on you."

he is saying; "even if i were born earlier, even if i didn't get to know you, i'd still miss you."

and he didn't fucking mean to!!! look at his face!!!!!!!

he didn't mean to say it!!!! he didn't mean to bear that much of his soul!!!!! look at him!! he's Afraid!! he's Embarrassed!! but he can't turn away fast enough, he can't take it back, because dick is Looking At Him Like That!!

quit looking at him like that, dick, it's like you're in love with him-- and maybe he is. because he read through the lines and he chose nix, in the end. instead of walking away, like he'd might've been planning to do, he walks back and takes a seat and listens as his boybestfriend tells him; "We'll go to Chicago, I'll take you there."

before turning to watch nix light up his cigarette, puff up some smoke and memorize everything he can about him. scanning his profile, and staring at his lips, dick wonders if maybe he'll one day come to love the flavor of nicotine, so long as his first taste of it came from lewis' mouth.

#uff #thanks for the feels #brb gotta go rewatch bob #winnix #dick winters #lewis nixon #band of brothers #hbo war

#this reached into me and caressed my heart #i was there for a moment #sharing a cigarette with joan #joan of arc

[thephoboss]

it’s so cool how much u can tell about someone’s personality based on their favorite lost character. for example, if they like ben linus they are transmasc and on psych meds

#umm #wtf #ben linus

[thephoboss]

ahhh benjamin

#i choked #seriously this is too accurate #ben linus #lost #i love him

[thephoboss]

The way he regretted the words as soon as he said them...

#me the 1st time he said it: oh cool #2nd: okay got it #3rd: oh no #4th: OH NO #lestat is such an idiot #and when he says how well they communicate now #like babe #you just lied to louis’ face and had a bit of meltdown over it #just tell him you love him #for all of our sakes #he set them up for a failure with this #and sure Louis didn’t have to believe him #especially because of how it was delivered #hysterical and over the top #i guess this is on both of them #if only their communication was actually better #louis x lestat #lestat de lioncourt #louis de pointe du lac #interview with the vampire #anne rice #loustat

EDDIE MUNSON AND ARAGORN

#does this parallel make sense? ??? #umm yes HELLO?? #Eddie did make the decision to go to Mordor #knowing it was a dark and dangerous thing #so FUCK YEAH IT MAKES SENSE #this gifset honest to god gave me shivers #I’ve loved Aragorn for about 20 years #any my love for Eddie is much younger #but also it’s awesome to think these similarities were cinematographic choices #to honor Eddie and his nerd hobbies by comaring him to one of the great heroes of his books #cuz Aragorn goes hard we all know that #and Eddie goes just as hard #eddie munson #stranger things #LOTR #aragorn
