wednesday “i can make him worse” addams and tyler “i already am” galpin

grammys or no grammys, guilty as sin? was my song of the year. was it even nominated? no, it was not. but maybe if you had ever found yourself drowning in the blue nile, only for someone to go and send you downtown lights when you hadn’t heard it in a while, you’d get it.

"if i was orpheus i would simply not turn around" yes you would. if you were orpheus and you loved eurydice, you would. to love someone is to turn around. to love someone is to look at them. whichever version of the myth — he hears her stumble, he can't hear her at all, he thinks he's been tricked — he turns around because he loves her. that's why it's a tragedy. because he loves her enough to save her. because he loves her so much he can't save her. because he will always, always turn around. "if i was orpheus i would simply —" you wouldn't be orpheus. you wouldn't be brave enough to walk into the underworld and save the person you love. be serious

not normal about orpheus and eurydice. you loved someone so much it opened the stones of the underworld. so much that death had to listen. so much that everything stopped for your love. so much that you turned around. so much that even when you did wrong. she forgave you.

Achilles and Patroclus vs Orpheus and Eurydice

Tonight it cost me ten dollars to get the the restaurant and 25 to get back to my hotel two hours later and I groused, "surge rates, fucko" at my phone and of all the fandom folks with me I only got one snicker!! But that means now I get to make a bunch of folks watch The Bear so I'm coming out ahead here. Cc @heyyjudetheobscure , who was the one who laughed 🖤🌈

Alicent and Rhaenyra side by side in the same place they spent time when they were young, both full of regret and anger and sadness, something something the love was there, it didn't change anything, it didn't save anyone but the love was there

whatever souls are made of, his and mine are the same, but platonically

The rebellion would have been so much shorter if Katniss had accidentally sang Pure as the driven snow. He would have had a heart attack right there and then.

foxes keep chasing the hot priest because he says dumb shit like "it'll pass"

fleabag better than me, because if someone responded with “it’ll pass” after i told them i loved them, i would simply have to drop dead on the spot like no joke

i can't explain why but "i love you" / "it'll pass" is genuinely one of the most comforting pieces of dialogue i've ever come across. the context is deliberately sad, the hot priest is walking away from fleabag, choosing religion over love ["oh i don't know what this feeling is" / "is it god or is it me?"] and it's SICK because he loves her too [ "i can't have sex with you because i'll fall in love with you and if i fall in love with you, i won't burst into flames, but my life will be fucked"] but like. it's not a "sad ending" for the sake of being sad and realistic or an unreasonably happy ending preaching love and forever ever-afters. it doesn't villainize or glorify the concept of love or people. it's simply speaking the truth in the simplest of words. you're in love with me and it's going to make you miserable but it'll pass. the pain will lessen and that ache in your chest will fade till it's tolerable. you'll laugh more often. soon it'll be easier to get up in the mornings. this is a law, a rule, a fact. no matter how precious that pain is, how inescapable- it'll pass. even though he's the hot priest and she's fleabag and they're so obviously made to be happily in love w each other- it'll still pass. it's how we're built-to persevere, to survive, to break and be okay again.
