The Terror (2018) Season 1 Episode 8

tfw

The Terror but it turns out that Tuunbaq was Hickey and Manson in a fursuit all along

Claggart is Satan, Billy is Jesus, everyone can see this much, but Vere being God remains kind of overlooked even though it's kind of central to the story, and not only the story but it's the key to understanding Melville's relationship with religion at the end of his life

at least in my humble opinion

I don't get Moby Dick. Is the whole message really supposed to be "Ahab bad because monomania, Ishmael good because open-mindedness"? That's really simplistic shit, especially for Melville. Sure the writing style is elaborate, there's biblical references, and it touches upon a multitude of subjects, but it's all straightforward, most of it in the text, rather than layered (or, more accurately, the layerednesses are confined within singular metaphors rather than spanning the entire narrative). Melville liked layers. It was all layers to him. Whole narratives hidden underneath the text. Since Redburn (maybe Mardi idk I didn't read Mardi) he was rather consistently employing unreliable/flawed narrators. There is some perspective fuckery, but Ishmael seems too normal of a person for a Melville's protagonist—is his talking about things he couldn't have seen the key to understanding his character?

I am certain there is an answer to this, but I with my small brain just can't find it.

re: open-mindedness vs monomania

After writing that down an obvious connection came to mind: the Cosmopolitan and the Indian-hating in The Confidence-Man. But here the moral judgement seems reversed to what you had in Moby Dick, the liberal, man-loving Cosmopolitan is a force of mischief and chaos whereas the uncompromising, staunch Indian-hating which drives a man to separate himself from society (taken metaphorically, Melville wasn't racist) represents a moral purpose against the evils of the world. Now, was it a new development in Melville's philosophy or was that view always there, hidden under Moby Dick's surface?

From the other hand The Confidence-Man is in its core supposed to be an unsolvable riddle (or is it??) so having certainty in its assigning of any values is foolish; regardless, it still paints Moby Dick's conflict in a more ambivalent light.

Bane’s outfit from Darth Maul comics is underrated, maybe even almost nicer than the OG

#cad bane #star wars #fanart #I spent the most time tweaking the background shading #i hope it looks nice

I always wanted to make a comic but I don’t think comics want to be made by me, but I managed a compromise
