“Art, like love, excludes all competition and absorbs the man.” - Henry Fuseli

#henry fuseli #art #artwork #classical art #sturm und drang #art movement #something about this colour palette and the melancholy of it all #kinda detached from the happenings #reminding us that we are mere powerless spectators #also of snapshots frozen in perpetuity causing more grief as the subjects can never move forwards #his titles are bangers though lol #the song of achilles #tsoa #greek #greek myths

i've said this before but there's something oh-so-special to me about icarus retellings that focus on the flight and not the fall. on the joy of freedom and finally experiencing the world for the first time, free of your chains and your captor. of loving the world so much that you let it consume you.

#icarus speaks #to no one's surprise the guy named icarus who owns the apollos-boyfriend url #is NOT normal about the myth of icarus #i just!!!!!! if you are focusing solely on the fall. you do not understand anything about it.#icarus was not stupid. he was not foolish or overconfident. he was merely human.

WAIT WAIT WAIT CONSIDER THIS: TOM AND BARBARA AS ORPHEUS AND EURYDICE, ALAN AND ALICE AS A DOOMED RETELLING

#alan wake #like this is fully what they already are - not in a 'someone make this content' way. they just Are #alan wake 2 #alice wake #tom zane #barbara jagger #barbara dies in a tragedy and tom is overcome with grief and through art and song (film/poetry) moves heaven and earth to bring #her back from the darkness - only to discover the dark place did not grant him his love again merely a shade of her #and so in that same roiling grief he destroyed himself - cast himself back into hell #the dark place took Alice so Alan followed her into hell - but despite Thomas's guidance he could not save both himself and Alice #and so he did the impossible and trapped himself in exchange for her freedom #Alan was taken by the dark place and so Alice followed him into hell once more #and she - knowing he could not afford to look back if he was ever to escape - tricked him into thinking she was already lost #sacrificing herself to lead him back to the light #and now the cycle is broken. alan cannot follow her into hell again - at least not in the same way as before #but in breaking the cycle he has declared himself the master of two worlds - is this hubris? has he doomed himself again with those words?#or does he hold the reins now? will he be able to reach into the underworld and free her? have they trancended myth itsel #*itself?#anyway. I'm a genius (jk)

no one told me that having an ego would be this fun

#elementary school through highschool marlena eat your heart out #you became a genuinely amazing person because you always were one #she was always in there — no one gave you the oomph to go and find her #they told you it was impossible #a treasure not lost but never existing; a mere myth #running my mouth

Red lights spin, the alarms are going off

-An intruder.

Run around, pick what you gotta fast, they know I'm here

-This is gonna be fun.

Shit. They got me

-Too easy.

...

-...

Here my life lies, my future spilling from my head, I can barely feel my body

And they laugh, they laugh so bastardly, I wish I could have the strength to cry it out

It's helpless. I'm helpless

...

And then, the first hit

And the second

And the third

All cooled out

Do I have to wonder where I got this from? I can't afford that, the pipe leads my way

-Oh, it's you again.

Rush through, knock them, it's about survival now

-Now this is where the fun begins.

Gunshots

-My specialty.

And I bleed

-And you bleed.

The adrenaline gets to me

-Precious wounds from you for me.

Your boys are down

-We're alone

You're alone

-And so scared. My heart rushes. You...it's you!

-You're War! You're what I have been looking for!

-Please...! Your end! My end! All here and now!

I'm just so tired, and I don't feel like working overtime

-What...?

My shift's over. I'm done here.

-No...! NO!

#perceptive little crow #omg hiiiii hi hello. i made some connections and I'm going insane <3 #'have you completely misunderstood another character?' yes i did <3 #i just believe it would be super cool if he was like. completely idealizing the idea of teo as like. a symbol of violence and war #man so obsessed with that bitch he'd go insane over one (1) woman almost killing his stupid ass #bc he didn't feel that kind of rush and struggle and fear and ecstasy for so long. he wants more #and he dreams of the day they can finally get each other's hands on each other. and fight tooth and nail til one falls #and only bc this is about him specifically but I'd also love to talk about teo's potential weight on her shoulders that would be being #the first of like. an entirely new professional career? and a potentially dangerous one at that? like how she'd be the one to set just *so*#many standards about how to deal with myths...oh. how lovely that sounds #ok enough rambling for tonight #I COMPLETELY FORGOT TO MENTION #bc he doesn't get to fight his 'goddess' he lashes out to anyone on her same field. bc he seems them as mere troops which do nothing but #stay in the way of 'their righteous fight'#but also as a way to get even a drop of the same adrenaline he felt that day #ok that's all

Now that I think of it, the fact that Dreadwing wasn't even on the List is terrifying in its own right. Tarn can very much alter the List as he wants, meaning he can paint the word traitor with a much broader brush stroke if he so pleases. This, of course, we know will lead to disaster

#tfp au #tfp dreadwing #tf tarn #maccadam #transformers #now arachnid on the other hand logistically i feel like she's been on and off the list more than a few times #she knows she's being hunted at some level but i don't think she quite knows what yet #now if I'm reading this right dreadwing might have a vague idea what the djd is but nothing more than that #it's as tarn said: dreadwing likely never thought to worry about the djd. he was up until recently super duper loyal after all #and in mtmte canon iicr not that many mecha knew much about the djd. it's how the pet sparkeater rumor kept on #there are probably several mecha who believe the djd are merely a myth; the boogeymen meant to make you behave

I'll be honest: I think MHA lost the plot and went off the rails as far back as the Dark Deku mini-arc so I don't actually read it anymore (and there's a lot that can be unpacked and said about how the cracks can be seen even further back, toward the beginning of the story).

Hawks (and Nagant) is one of the very few good aspects that performs their intended purpose and barely gets touched on afterwards, but that won't stop me from reblogging more of spy guy Birdman Jim.

#the manga for me is very choppy now #in the way that it's not only pushing the gas pedal all the way to the floor to get to the finish line #(hori's health issues notwithstanding)#but in the way that it's slapping all these pieces together rather messily #never mind the moral quandaries between heroes & villains #how there is talk of changing the status quo but very little effort being shown for it #hawks should've been the gateway into that world #regardless of whether or not he was right or wrong in his decisions during the PLF arc #sadly this isn't the direction the story wants to go in #opting in favor for a very naruto-lite brother vs brother myth arc #that basically overtook and overrode any opportunity at exploring society beyond heroes outside of a few mere glimpses #i feel like i'm taking the onus out of the post's original intention #and probably should just do a critique on the manga separately if i really want to dive into it #TLDR i'm just watching from the sidelines now while rbing the occasional hawks art b/c that design is ICONIC WOOP WOOP

I don’t think I can get over Luke being portrayed as ominously hooded because it is genuinely so funny to me and I can’t even explain why. Luke saw Boba Fett in the Faithful Wookiee and went “Yeah, that’s a friend shape” so I can only imagine- like- do you think that’s what he thinks friendly people dress like? Does he think he looks trustworthy? Does he think the way to make people trust the Jedi is to be a cloaked specter that most believe is only myth??? That would really explain some things…

#luke skywalker #star wars #the mandalorian #a few books have this too i think #ominously hooded luke my beloved #mysterious specter believed to be mere myth luke my darling #spooky luke my sweet #i love him #i have a problem #the inane ramblings of a madman #the star wars holiday special #is really just the gift that keeps on giving my guy

I like the casting as the Doctor as the God of Hope for several reasons but nr one is that they are kept in a box

#by which I mean both the TARDIS and the literal Pandorica #Mostly the TARDIS though #hadestown au #ah yeah this is about the hadestown au I have started thinking about that again #Idk if it is blasphemous to make up several deities in lieu of the Greek gods that are actually in the play #Should I be worried about that?#I am merely taking the musical as inspiration and changing the story anyways but Idk #It's not really a story but a myth with Gods and muses and I don't know what rules apply there #I feel like you'd have to be a little more careful #Maybe someone can advise me on that #I don't want to make fun of Ancient Greek religion(s) but also I know precious little about that #Maybe that's my main issue #Okay these tags are derailing a bit

"Multiple research studies have examined the question of whether men who abuse women tend to be survivors of childhood abuse, and the link has turned out to be weak; other predictors of which men are likely to abuse women have proven far more reliable, as we will see. Notably, men who are violent toward other men are often victims of child abuse—but the connection is much less clear for men who assault women. The one exception is that those abusers who are brutally physically violent or terrifying toward women often do have histories of having been abused as children. In other words, a bad childhood doesn’t cause a man to become an abuser, but it can contribute to making a man who is abusive especially dangerous."

— Lundy Bancroft, Why Does He Do That?: Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men, ch. 2

#i read this book about a year ago and it's still one of the most important and eye-opening things i've ever read #but i freely admit i went back to reference it because i was having thoughts about vegas and pete 😅 and vegas and gun #(i was reading boots meta it's not my fault)#because cycles of abuse are a strange thing #and as bancroft points out in the case of abuse targeted at women these cycles are often myths #but he also very specifically points out the exception to this which is abuse targeted at men #and this would be what vegas falls under #i've always wondered if #the act of vegas perpetuating physical violence on pete #is not merely a reflection of what he endured at gun's hands as a child #but also a sign of gun explicitly requiring him to perpetuate that kind of violence in general #as a member of the mafia and of the minor family specifically #is that an insticnt he would have had under just the abusive parental situation without the added burden of the mafia #ofc vegas also can be reasonably interpreted to have a sadist streak #which probably really complicates how he feels about the violence he inflicts on others #but it does go to show that compelling someone to perpetuate abuse is in itself abuse #and that is a terrible place for vegas to be #you could compare him to pete who endured something similar from his own father but did not necessarily perpetuate it #although i guess you could argue the entite mafia bodyguard lifestyle is about perpetuating physical abuse #this is getting away from me i can tell 😅#anyway this quote is good and stands on its own and has a lot to say that has nothing to do with vp #so i've relegated these thoughts to the tags lololol #cw: abuse
