Hope you come back soon <3 I’d love to know what you think about Breach!
Hi so I logged back in just to send someone a message but I haven't been here in a long time. Sorry, tumblr is a neurotoxin for my brain.
I love Breach.
It feels so weird, the end of something from when I was a teenager. I'm an adult living on my own now, and I never thought I would get here.
Ten years. This story has been with me through so many life stages. my life completely turned upside down since then. I was once just some shy kid in youth group who found music by people who understood my doubts, I listened to Vessel. I tried so hard to stay, I related to Tyler's anguish about his religion. Around Trench I was in full crisis, and from that one interview Tyler actually talked about it, this was a time of loss of faith for him too. But I could tell that from the music. By Scaled and Icy I had flipped on my religion, my politics, the very foundation of my world. I think around then is where we diverged. Tyler seemed set on staying in whatever his beliefs were (which he doesn't talk about a ton) but I was fully completely away from it.
I was hoping for a certain resolution in in Breach that was like, i dunno, an explicit answer. I am still trying to figure out what its saying.
Was Dema his religion, or Trench? Keons had many very direct parallels to god. From the beginning I noticed parallels between how people talked about god chasing down lost sheep and the way tyler was dragged back to something bad for him. And how religion can give structure that puts your cares to rest. How being an evangelical means being inside walls and pretending its freedom.
But then there's the mental health symbolism and the fact that Dema worships suicide. Is it just mental illness? But then, why did Clancy become a bishop?
I think the Clancy as a Bishop is him saying, I'm staying here, in this tradition, but I'm trying to fix it from the inside.
But then the cycle never ends cause Torchbearer will always try to break him out.
But idk I'm not totally certain. what do you think?
