Silent Reflection

watched true detective s1 for the first time yesterday (binged it all) and i feel so empty now. there's a hole i can't describe. this show has changed me in a way i can't describe.

being in good omens fandom has made me think about biblical lore more than I used to (which still isn't a lot, to be totally honest), but when I mentally revisited Rust's infamous "I contemplate the moment in the garden...The idea of allowing your own crucifixion" quote recently I paused for a moment and pondered if we could put a queer spin on that. because in some iterations of the bible, Judas betrays Jesus and identifies him for the authorities [leading to his later crucifixion] by openly kissing him in the Garden of Gethsemane. idk if there's anything to this, it just tickled my brain. Rust identifying with Jesus giving himself over to a certain death by accepting Judas's kiss and facing his own fate. base line, it would make an excellent premise for a Rust/Marty fic where Rust knows from the beginning of an affair he starts with Marty that it will ultimately lead to his own undoing in the end. but he accepts that kiss anyway. wow

marty is a brilliant character, woody's performance was amazing and rust wouldn't be as great of a character as he is if he did not have marty as his antithesis
