happy star wars day 🫶

oh god i just realised barry did get redemption. hes been begging god to wash away his sins as if they never happened to be seen as a good man and he fucking got it. the whole world thinks that he was a hero. buried in arlington cemetery with full honours. god is propaganda. god is hollywood.

Ren!!! Don’t eat that ren!!!! You’ll get salmon nella 😨😨!!!

i am completely normal right now, why do you ask??

also yes the show is about many other things, but this particular thing caught my attention.

From my digital sketchbook

We just got a delivery. From Fuches.

**Shots of the Episode**

Barry (2018)

Season 4, Episode 8: “wow” (2023) Director: Bill Hader Cinematographer: Carl Herse

currently pulling a roman roy and pre-grieving noho hank but then when/if (im delusional) he dies i will be screaming and crying

I want a new Barry episode, but i don’t want a new Barry episode; cause that means the ending is getting closer and i’m not ready to say goodbye yet

screaming crying shaking throwing up rattling the bars of my cage thinking about the process of fuches convincing barry to become a contract killer. I just wanna know what the conversation was. what was the first job like? was barry 100% down from the beginning or did it take a second for him to go into ethical denial mode? what was fuches even doing with his life that he would end up resorting to barry? did he already have the job in mind when he reunited with barry in afghanistan? did he convince barry to join the military in the first place? how much time did fuches spend with barry as a kid? what does fuches mean when he says he built barry's mind? did he GROOM HIM??? or did he just nurture barry's moral apathy as an adult??? or both???? the fact that he thinks of barry as the guy from rain man means that on some subconscious level he thinks of barry as disabled and himself as his caretaker and *screeeaaaammmms*

Barry and Succession: The Nature of Change

Fyi I’m sure many people have pointed this out before. Also this post is sort of piggybacking off of @childhoodtheme’s post of Jeremy Strong’s Vanity Fair interview.

Watching Succession right after Barry is just heartwrenching. They both deal with such intense themes about change. Each show deals with it differently. With Succession, it goes unsaid. You’re meant to watch the show and see for yourself. With Barry, it’s a very present question throughout the show. There are even moments where the characters put that question directly into words. But they end very similarly.

Starting with Succession- one of the general themes is that life is cyclical. Roman doesn’t recover. He doesn’t go to therapy, he doesn’t become a better person. He doesn’t change, he just accepts who he’s always been. In one of his culminating scenes, he simply says ‘We’re bullshit…we’re nothing.’ He, unlike his siblings, has come to terms with the reality of their situation instead of trying to change it. Shiv and Kendall’s arcs are cyclical in a different way. They do not change, and fail to recognize their situation, so they face the consequences instead. Instead of giving up, and getting out in the hopes of a freer life, Shiv does what she’s always done. She schemes, she manipulates, she ruins peoples lives and her own while she’s at it. She’s still striving for what she’s always wanted, but she’s dead inside. And Kendall? Just like Shiv, he ends up where he’s found himself so many times before. He’s alone. He’s failed AGAIN. After scheming and backstabbing and failing to learn and grow once more. His story ends the way we’ve all known it’s had to end, but the way he could never accept. After this long journey, they’re all right where they’ve started. Alone, bitter, and falling back into the same habits they’ve never been able to let go. And it’s devastating.

As stated before, Barry ends in a similar way. Like Roman, Fuches and Sally’s stories end in being honest with themselves and the people around them. Have they really changed? Not entirely. Are they happy? Not entirely. But they’re free- or as free as they can be. They’ll always be tortured by their situation, and by their character, but they’re out. They’re alive. In the same fashion, Barry and Noho Hank’s stories end in a way that reflects Shiv and Kendall’s. They’ve doomed themselves, by not only failing to change, but failing to accept the reality of their lives and what they’ve done.

So I’m losing my mind a little bit. These themes are incredibly interesting to me, and I’d like to explore these ideas more, but I’m going to stop myself before I fall into a pit of depression :) To conclude, these shows are both absolutely fantastic pieces of art. The writing and acting is phenomenal from both shows, and they’re both among the best shows I’ve ever seen, certainly the best shows on television right now. Hats off to both casts and crews. It’s been a wild couple of months.

albert probably watched the mask collector and was like. girl what.

I legit can't believe we got a relatively happy ending??

if this was how the show ended, i would be content ngl

my friends and I have to watch Barry on soap2day cuz we don’t have hbo and they uploaded the episode the night AFTER it aired for once so we were a day late but Jesus fuck

God that whole episode was just so fucking dark and almost dry of humor we really didn’t know how to react it felt like it happened so fast

So different from what it is normally and yet it didn’t feel out of place or wrong

Im gonna have to watch it again to really grasp what the fuck happened even though im fully aware and remember all of it
