listen everyone’s all karnadeli this colindeli that and i get it they’re both so juicy. but let’s set shipping aside for a second because i also need people to be a thousand times more invested in colin and karna being slow burn best friends who come to a gradual understanding of each other and eventually bond over their surprisingly similar traumas and hangups. I want them to gossip over meals and share commiserating glances when the nobility do some stupid rich people shit. I want colin and karna to team up during arguments, and deli to be exhausted because he has to deal with the fact that his skalds have unionized. I want them to quietly have each others backs, even though they’d never fucking admit it if you asked. Are you all seeing my vision.

#dimension 20 #the ravening war #karna solara #colin provolone #I’m not the first person to joke about them unionizing but it’s true….we don’t gotta pit two queens against each other y’all #deli….can have two advisors. as a treat.#like obviously there’s still unknowns especially about karnas backstory #but we know she’s used to being considered disposable and has presumably #had to get very good at being useful to survive #and Colin was used by his dad to steal him drinking money #in a country where his true name would have gotten him killed #THEYD GET EACH OTHER #OR AT LEAST I WANT THEM TO

Prompt:

Contrary to what everyone believes, Damian does not know death.

He grew up with the League. Sheltered from the worst even though father does not seem to think so. Grievous injuries were healed with a submersion in a pool of glowing green.

Damian does not know death. For him, death his temporary. A setback. Something to be cured with magic unknown.

So when Damian stabs one of father’s false sons, he does not understand why father is so upset. Why he is now barred from the cave. Why everyone looks at him with such horror. Surely they know he had to demonstrate that he, the blood son, is superior?

He does not understand why the false son does not get back up. Why father does not take him to the pits.

Damian does not understand. He will have to investigate.

He does not understand why nobody wishes to talk to him all of a sudden.

ok sure i'll talk about farleigh start. i'll talk about his tragedy of never being enough as it were and then having to deal with fucking oliver. sure. disclaimer: it's about class (and race) and the horrible reality of the rich. the horrible reality of living as farleigh.

another disclaimer: i'm white! and poc definitely pick up on everything i'm talking about here as it is, and better. i was and am specifically interested in farleigh vs. oliver but it's impossible to examine without considering race. definitely let me know if anything abt this sucks!

farleigh and oliver are similar. it's annoying because every intruder that is not himself is annoying, partly because felix's attention swaying from farleigh is dangerous; there is always a threat of being discarded, even if no precedent existed. the potential is terrifying.

but you'd think he's seen this before, every summer (if venetia is telling the truth) or at least often enough to learn to recognize it fast, so he should know this will pass. part of it is i think still the deep anxiety, and i think he hated every boy that was there before, and it is sort of routine.

but definitely a huge factor in farleigh's annoyance is the fact that he's a biracial (black for cattons, that's all they see) man in a white rich household. he's alert and exhausted all the time. of course he's angry at oliver, regardless of whether he's the first to crash at saltburn for the summer or the fifty-first.

but the important thing is this.

farleigh is very jealous of and angry and pissed at oliver because farleigh sees all the similarities between them. outsider, in financial trouble, whatever it is, in need of cattons; and yet oliver is preferred. and farleigh seems to be the only one to really consider it. felix does not pick up on the hint when farleigh brings up the birthday party vs. his mother. felix's clumsy "different or... anything like that" is as much about race as it is about class, of course. the "we've done all that we can" bit is felix absolving himself of guilt because surely they had, surely the mysterious collective cattons that he's not really part of had tried all they could do. to him, farleigh is different from oliver, because farleigh has been helped. felix is rich and white and twofold uncomfortable with farleigh, even if he's nice about it, even if he genuinely enjoys his company; he doesn't look too close at farleigh because he feels too guilty to come too close. and farleigh can't do anything about it. he can't nice himself into it. the fucking tragedy of him is that he's never enough in the world of the ultra-rich white, even if (especially because!) he's born into it.

farleigh is very pissed at oliver because farleigh also sees all the differences between them. you know who can be nice poor white enough to fit in? fucking oliver. felix says "just be yourself, they'll love you" when oliver first moves in. farleigh was also probably told the same thing, and felix also probably believed that farleigh could just be himself, but even if the cattons were magically not racist at all (impossible), it wouldn't make a difference to farleigh. he would still self-censor, keep in check, be in dangerous waters (because racism is not just about the individual, but about the system). we see that he'd won himself leeway by years of trial and error by the way he speaks to the family, but it's still within the boundaries of acceptable, built by the cattons. he's part of them because they allow it, and farleigh is very, very aware.

the annoying thing is oliver can be himself. like, truly, genuinely, he can just be. and farleigh can't help but envy that.

as a side note, oliver is obviously jealous of farleigh in the beginning as well, because regardless of the reality of farleigh's situation, he was born into it, and hence, at least in oliver's mind, has his position solidified. oliver's whole thing is unquenchable thirst and hunger for whatever and everything the cattons have (including themselves!). he wishes to have been a catton from birth. to oliver, at first, there's nothing farleigh can really do to lose it. and until he figures out the cattons completely, he can't help but envy that.

but i think farleigh senses something different about oliver early on. at least on the level of the text, we have "you're almost passing [for] a real, human boy", which is so important because farleigh is the first to point out oliver's weirdness. the next to do so is venetia in the bath scene calling him a freak, but it's too late. farleigh is too early.

and i like to think he clocks oliver too early because he sees the jagged edges that he recognizes in himself. i think that one other thing that farleigh envies is oliver's freedom to let go. freedom to let go is very similar to freedom to be, but not quite the same.

to be is about perception: farleigh knows he cannot fall out of line, but would like to, and oliver does not have to worry about it at all (i mean, he does, because oliver also performs for felix, but farleigh doesn't know that).

to let go is about the self: farleigh is too scared to even want what oliver eventually does, to even consider the possibility. oliver can let himself want. oliver can let himself act. oliver just can do things and want things. i'm not sure farleigh can.

and so in this scene, when oliver's wants and actions have landed him nowhere with farleigh, felix, venetia, the cattons, of course farleigh gloats. he can let himself do that, because if the cattons are slowly discarding him, farleigh can allow himself this one small victory. he's relieved because despite the dangerous similarities, oliver is, thankfully, not really the same as farleigh, right?

but like. this movie is a love letter to all things gothic. oliver is a white man. he prevails. the brief performance that oliver put on did eventually end up more effective than farleigh's lifetime of constraint. my heart fucking breaks for him to be honest.

the issue that remains is the fact of farleigh's survival. i like to think that oliver came to respect him. oliver is smart, but farleigh is clever. he picks up on everything oliver does (to refer back to the karaoke scene, farleigh immediately retaliates in the cleverest way, in the moment), and he's the only one to do so consistently (venetia, again, for example, comes close, but too late; oliver doesn't like that, there's nothing to work with). hence, stay with me for a little longer, the paradox: farleigh survives because he was never enough for the cattons, but he is very worthy of oliver's attention. in his own freaky way, oliver wants him. look at that.

so. farleigh. farleigh might come back. he always comes back. and i think oliver wants to try harder next time.

#saltburn #farleigh start #i think someone mentioned how the race commentary was fleeting in that scene abt his mom but i disagree #it runs thru the whole movie #because oliver is white and because they're pitted against each other #im not saying its the best commentary ever and also like the movie is not about it at all #but it's there and it's pretty prominent #also on a completely different note can we talk about how oliver correctly assumed everyone at saltburn desires him carnally #dude pulled all the bitches by being strange and off-putting. i mean i completely get it. completely get it. i'd fold so fast you've no ide #also while i was writing i realized that yes indeed both farleigh and oliver perform for felix and its so fascinating #and it works for oliver because of course it does because hes white #anyway! again! let me know if this sucks #in like any way at all #i needed a masterpost of all and every thought i have about farleigh #i think this pretty much covers it so i'll let it go now #HES SO. like do you UNDERSTAND #the DEFINITION of doomed by the narrative but i LOVE that he survives #as he SHOULD #emerald is so right. he does come back and quickstart just torture each other in that house forever. besties for life #god im gonna shut up now this is so horrendously long #mine #saltburn journaling

Worry not for the Nameless Red Disciple, they just went down to the river to chill with the river turtles!

#poorly drawn mdzs #nameless red disciple #tulu xuanwu #Not calling this mdzs as it *barely* counts #I will have this character appear in the story again but for now they are going on a personal journey to find themselves #and also hang with turtles #are they spiritual turtles? no they are just the normal variety of wise and beautiful semi-aquatic creatures #LSZ really just found one off to the side and picked it up. Once again I must bring up the consequences of disturbing wildlife #In this fictional setting its fun but don't actually pick wild animals up and hide them in your sleeves.#but it does hold true that girls LOVE turtles. Boys too. People who aren't either also love turtles #turtle is a universally loved entity #and now NRD is learning their secrets! They will be unstoppable!#meta note: This is part of my slow plan to dig myself out of my deep pit of inbox backlog.#I love all the messages but oh man I have been in survival mode for 2 months

It's funny, Pooh had how many NC scenes with Pavel? But can't let Pavel give him a lap dance at least once because it makes him shy so it won't turn from PoohPavel to PavelPooh 🙈

Knowing what happens in Titus Andronicus is so silly goofy but then you actually read it, and it's so sincere, and it's like someone's taken a knife and is scraping it along the insides of my ribs.

It's so over-the-top that it feels like a joke half the time. Everyone loses so hard. Whenever I try to explain it, it just sounds like a bit, because Titus is that overdramatic. Absolutely anything that could go wrong goes wrong. And it doesn't work half the time. Sometimes, it's just ridiculous.

But if you go into it genuinely, assuming complete commitment and investment in the story, it's raw. It's heart-breaking. And there is a point, it's not just violence for violence's sake. It's a story about children and parents and violence and oppression and bad systems and how everything is unfair. It's a tough play because it's right on the edge between being over-the-top to make a point and being so over-the-top that the point is completely lost.

But if you can balance it, it's one of the saddest Shakespeare tragedies. It's brutal. It's awful. It's a good show.

(The baby survived. The baby survived. The baby survived.)

#shakespeare #titus andronicus #I'm clawing at the walls and screaming #the baby survives! young lucius survives!#what if you fell in The Pit?#It's hard to make this post while I can barely think about the show without giggling but also almost crying

the day literally everyone survived july 4th, 2007 on mystery flesh pit national park

on july 4th 2023, roblox players were introduced to an update on the mystery flesh pit national park exploration game: a 4th of july celebration, with fireworks, american paraphernalia and a fetch quest that required doing manual labour for the part, gave out an unique badge, and referred to 'unusual tremors', setting the day of the update to july 4th 2007!

excitedly, a server of 50 players all gathered in the lower visitor center, waiting for the power to go out for mere 45 seconds (and the mayhem that would happen afterwards) at 9:51pm gmt-5. player morale was at an all time high (with some having admitted to waiting 6 hours in game just so they could experience the incident):

when the clock reached the destined hour, everybody cheered, fireworks ablazing, waiting for disaster to strike... but as the time soon changed to 9:52pm, all soon realized that they had been waiting >30 minutes for absolutely nothing: the fetch quest they'd so excitedly gone on, one that set the players out to fix faulty water drainage pipes... retconned the biggest event in the park's lore. and they contributed to it

a mass exodus of players soon transpired, most posting their discontent on the group wall. some, disappointed with the lack of mass deaths, headed to ape's escape and jumped in unexplored areas in order to be killed by abyssal copepods: regardless, all survived july 4th, 2007. but at what cost????

#i survived july 4th 2007!#literally it was such an honour 2 b able 2 witness all that in real time. everyone was so hyped n then SO pissed off #i stalled my bedtime routine for that. and all i got was a fetch quest #recovered floppy disk #mystery flesh pit national park #mystery flesh pit #roblox
