OMG I I wgehejej I was writing a post about some soulmate AU and and while writing it just occurred to me-

Both Jean and Marco lost their gear during Trost. They both got in a situation where a Titan was going to kill them while having nothing to protect themselves.

Marco was there to help Jean get hold of a gear and survive. Jean wasn't there for Marco aka why he died.

Omg. I'm not crying you are

#I know is obvious but for some reason it hit harder this time #I actually can't remember whatever or not Annie helped too. I know she and Connie were there cuz yk Marco asked them where's Jean #But yk with the assumption that Annie helped... Like damn man. Annie helped Marco save Jean and she helped Reiner kill Marco #THE PARALELLS MAN #i love parallels #The fact they are both good leaders but in their own unique ways <3 #I think... I think there's no way for them both to stay alive. One of them must die for the other to research his full potential #Yes it goes both ways Marco's wake up call can only be Jean's death sorry no sorry #Anyway something lowkey happier : in a universe were Jean dies in Trost not Marco during the fire when Marco sees Jean in the fire he sees #the moment Jean mocked him over his reason for joining MP. And yk maybe that makes Marco want to prove Jean wrong so he joins SC. Or maybe #He thinks he can no longer join MP not without Jean. Maybe he sees Jean in the smoke and feels guilty for not being there to help him #Ok but Eren probably has such a hard time trying to decide who to keep alive between the two man (everything would've worked out with #either of them) he truly wanted Marco to survive Trost but damn who would've looked over Mikasa yk. It truly hurt him #Gosh is 4 am I am TIRED don't mind me #aot #Aot JeanMarco #aot jean #aot marco #jeanmarco #jean kirstein #jean kirschstein #marco bodt #marco bott

I'll never stop being obsessed with the way Stiles comforts Derek here, or the way he stands up against Argent here.

Because Stiles knows, he knows how it feels to blame yourself for the death of someone you care about, even if it wasn't really in your control. Stiles and Derek both have that same feeling of guilt on their shoulders, and Stiles comforting Derek after he experiences that same pain another time? Stiles being furious on Dereks behalf? It's devastating, and one of my favorite things about their relationship.

#sterek #stiles stilinski #derek hale #The paralells between these two honestly #the fact that Stiles is the one who empathises most with Derek about the fire #because he understands Derek blaming himself for it so well man

Absolutely wild how asoiaf/ fire and blood set up Lysa Tully and Viserra Targaryen to be unsympathetic bratty teenage girls and expects me to hate them instead of the cradle snatchers they are forced to marry like I think Lysa shouldve poisoned Jon Arryn even harder actually and Viserra shouldve strapped Jaehaerys to that horse and sent him careening head-first into a brick wall

#and yet when i say hoster and jaehaerys deserve to be [REDACTED] im the bad guy #like oh no this pretty 15-17 year old girl doesnt want to marry a man who qualifies for a state pension card UMM???? YES??????#jon arryn you were impotent because my mind powers were cursing ur dick through various paralell universes

Just finished rereading the iliad, so thinking about Shauna and Jackie and Achilles and Patroklos, because the similarities are there.

The fight scene where Jackie (Patroklos) tells Shauna (Achilles) to get out because she can’t be around her at the moment, is, to me, similar to the scene where Patroklos is telling Achilles to go out and fight the Trojans.

And then Shauna (Achilles) tells her no, she won’t go out and if Jackie doesn’t feel like she can be around her that sounds like her problem, so maybe she should go out. Similar to Achilles not going out to fight the Trojans and save the Greeks, but instead agreeing to let Patroklos go out with his armor to help them.

Agreeing to go out is what causes both Jackie and Patroklos to die.

Before Jackie dies she has a dream (vision? whatever that was) where Shauna goes out to get her and bring her back inside, apologizing and giving her food. Similar to how Patroklos, before he died, killed many Trojans and believed he might be saving the Greeks after all.

Then it snows, and Jackie freezes to death outside (different to how Patroklos died, killed by Hector) and Shauna realizes what happened when she saw the snow through the window, and she runs outside to find Jackie’s corpse buried under the snow.

My friend is dead, Patroclus, my dearest friend of all. I loved him, And I killed him.

Now where the parallels get good.

Shauna, like Achilles, keeps Jackie/Patroklos’ corpse and visits it daily, talks to it, even does her makeup once. Achilles kept Patroklos’ corpse on their tent, and it wasn’t until Patroklos’ spirit came to him during a dream to tell him to give him a funeral, since otherwise he couldn’t enter the underworld, than Achilles started his funeral. Similar to how Shauna kept Jackie’s body until Tai said they had to get rid of her corpse and than what Shauna was doing wasn’t healthy.

They cremate Jackie, just like they cremated Patroklos.

Do not lay my bones apart from yours, but let them lie together

That’s what Patroklos spirit tells Achilles during that dream, which reminds me of “I don’t even know where you end and I begin”.

When he rejoins the battle, Patroclus does so as Achilles' surrogate, literally impersonating him by wearing his armor, and he represents Achilles' double as well as his opposite.

-Sheila Murnaghan, introduction of the Iliad, Stanley Lombardo’s version (1997)

In the most extreme moments of his grief for his most beloved person, Achilles presents Patroclus not as his child, parent, or wife, but as himself. The ultimate form of love is to see no difference between the self and the beloved. Patroclus' journey into battle wearing the armor of Achilles transforms him into his friend, in the eyes of the Trojans. He becomes Achilles also, tragically, in his violent death before the walls of Troy, killed by Trojans through the help of Apollo, just as Achilles soon will be. Once Patroclus is dead, Achilles tries to transform himself into his dead friend, by rolling in the dust and, like a dead man, abstaining from food, sleep, or sex. He anticipates joining Patroclus again, and becoming indistinguishable from him in death, when their bones are together in one jar."

-Emily Wilson, introduction of her version of the Iliad (2023)

Meanwhile Shauna (and the other girls, but she did it first) eats Jackie, Achilles doesn’t do that with Patroklos, but he does say this line

I wish my stomach would let me / Cut off your flesh in strips and eat it raw / For what you've done to me.

He says that to Hector, Patroklos’ killer, before killing him in revenge. Since Jackie didn’t have a killer (and if she did, it was Shauna, even if she chose to go out), Shauna has no one to kill in revenge, no one to wish to eat for the intense grief, so she turns to Jackie.

Also Jackie was always meant to die, she was doomed by the narrative, she died because she was meant for life outside the woods, for a normal life, the life they had before, she wasn’t meant for a cannibalistic cult, that’s kind of what Jackie’s death represents, she was a symbol of societal norms and hierarchies (being this popular prom queen and Shauna talking about how back home they were probably “missing their perfect little princess” and how Jackie tells her than she’s such a cliché for thinking of her and their relationship like that), whatever, but also Patroklos. He’s constantly described as gentle, kind. Which is weird to see given than he has one of the highest body counts in the book (if not the highest). Also people who are always described by those adjectives, kind, gentle, sweet people don’t usually belong in a war. Smh.

while Achilles is violent, quick to anger, and jealous of his own honor, Patroclus is gentle, concerned for the bonds of friendship between members of the army, and compassionate, and he reenters the war out of pity for the many Greeks who are dying because of Achilles' absence.

-Sheila Murnaghan, introduction of the Iliad, Stanley Lombardo’s version (1997)

Our Patroclus was, gentle and kind to all / When he was alive.

Then they gathered the bones of their gentle comrade

As Hector, who killed your gentle, valiant friend.

I will never stop grieving for you, forever sweet.

You killed his comrade, Gentle and strong,

Also, Achilles is described as having man-slaying hands. Isn’t Shauna the butcher of the yellowjackets?

#something about Achilles being compared to a spear in tsoa if I remember correctly #it’s been years I read it but it was something like ‘you can use a spear as a walking stick but it doesn’t change its nature’#Achilles being a killer #ruthless #being described as having man-slayer hands #isn’t Shauna the knife? the blade? the butcher?#Shauna tries so so hard to be normal she doesn’t even WANT to be the butcher and yet she is #she is she always is isn’t she #this might only make sense to me idk #the iliad #yellowjackets #achilles #shauna shipman #jackie taylor #jackieshauna #yellowjackets analysis #I guess #paralells #patroklos

thinking about. parallels. sanemi holding onto his brother, fading away, apologizing for everything they couldnt do together, all the years wasted and just pleading to the gods to get another day with genya who has already accepted his fate. tony clutching peter in a hug as the latter fades away, apologizing for always brushing him off and all the time they couldve spent together, just trying to make sure this child doesnt lose his life because of tony while said child is just happy to be held by his idol.

just. teenagers dying. and their familial figure holds them and pleads with anyone for only one more chance. it doesnt matter who they pray to. just please, don't let their innocent kid die, "onegai kami-sama", "we're not there yet", just hang on sweet child, don't die just yet, you have so much time still, don't worry, I'm gonna do something to keep you ali-

but with their kid, it's acceptance, a known fact to them that they could and would die. "ore no nii-chan wa ko no yo de ichiban yasashii hito dakara", "i'm sorry", they just want to be loved by the man they looked up to and based their entire career off of, not caring if they could get injured or die because they would work around it for their familial figure.

Now since we're all screaming about the moon's presence in these boys' lyrics... Because of this, obvi:

There's some things I can't say

But when the music starts to play

I stare up to the moon

And my lonely heart goes boom boom boom

Once again

I went back to one of my own old posts (about Something to Rely On. Which is where that first verse is from) and dug this little [slightly unhinged] list up:

Parallels

Man of La Mancha (1972)

"Perhaps to be too practical is madness. To surrender dreams — this may be madness. Too much sanity may be madness — and maddest of all: to see life as it is, and not as it should be!"

Cinderella (2015)

"Just because it's what's done doesn't mean it's what should be done!"

"And Ella continued to see the world not as it is, but as it could be, if only you believe in courage, and kindness, and occasionally, just a little bit...of magic."

As a child I grew up watching Man of La Mancha with my family (I have older parents so that film came out when they were high school/college aged) and I always felt Cervantes speech about how to see the world deep in my bones even as a child. I mean isn't that what being a child is all about seeing things with imagination and the goodness in people around you. It's why Dolly Parton as a little girl didn't see the made up flashy dressing woman in town as a "tramp" she thought she was beautiful. You don't have prejudices about people based on what they look like as a child. It's why Don Quixote can see Aldonza the Whore as his fair Lady Dulcinea and her dish cloth as gossamer. He's resorted back to a child's view of the world in his "madness" if it can be called madness to see the world in a better light than those around you who claim to see it how it is but just have layers of bitterness and prejudice.

It's why Ella can see the value in little animals like her mice and why she helps the odd looking old woman with bad manners even though she's mid breakdown. "What is a cup of milk? Nothing. But kindness... Kindness makes it everything." Ella is like a lived out real world version of the quote Cervantes has in Man of La Mancha. Because she's not pretending the world is okay she's faced it with courage and can look it in the eye and she knows it by it's right name. But she has the courage to continue to be kind and to continue to see the world through the eyes she had as a little girl during her golden childhood.

Carrying on from this post I would like to add that Dazai learnt his skincare routine from Oda, who too, washed his face with any any of soap in close proximity and used any cream as moisturiser, sending his husband Ango, who is also big on skincare, to go into cardiac arrest.

#that man doesn’t have time to sleep but has a strict skincare routine #and like men like Ango are actually big on skincare like fr (personal experience)#like oda parallels w my dad in that he likes taking care of kids but also has no sense of self preservation has a routine but it’s #kind of unhinged and they’re both housewives. and ango paralells with my best friend’s dad who is a girlboss with a high stress job and #still manages to like yk take care of himself somehow etc etc I’m just sayin #it’s always the ango types frfr #but anyways I digress #I just wanted to write more headcanons for these two because odango is so underrated and I love them so much #bungou stray dogs #bsd oda #bsd Ango #odango

Poor Sador

“Little to mark these last dull years ” well you’re in luck I guess??? If you hate boredom you work for the right family…

#Sador #poor bloke #the children of húrin #I’m so sorry this is my second stupid post in a row #also few things are funnier to me than Sador telling Túrin about Morwen before he even reveals his identity #the man is just sitting around waiting to tell any traveler hey did you know my previous employer was accused of witchcraft #This was NOT what he meant #mentally paralelling this with Húrin wishing to meet Morgoth face to face

The last 3 imply that Marceline grew older but he recreated a younger version that still liked and trusted him or one that doesn’t remind him of bad memories

#this idea is so facinating to me #i think personally i subscribe to the idea that shes alive and doesnt talk to him because of PB #because of the people makinh the betty comparison with marcy and bonnie. its so yummy i love paralells #but the idea that he got so lost in the crowns madness he did something to hurt her and/or kill her #hooough mmmmmm yummy. and maybe that pushed him to the edge #because in ooo even has IK he still deeply cared for and seeked out marcy. regularly.#so even while under the crowns full influence i thibk he would be Devestated if something happened to her #let ALONE if it was something he did himself. maybe to the point he just wants to get rid of it #as much the madness WK doesnt have. it still seems to have affected his memory and/or attachments. i lost where i was going #i could even see marcy confronting him about pb and him losing it and hurting her and then regretting it and wanting to ‚fix‘ it #by bringing her back. but he cant stand to see her face anymore as a constant reminder of what he did. so he bribgs her back as a kid #full of love and trust in him and none of the bad things #Tree Man Posts #adventure time #fionna and cake #f&c #f&c spoilers #marceline adventure time #the winter king #f&c the winter king #polls #princess bubblegum #candy queen
