The live version of “When We Are Together” will always be my favorite thing, especially the last chorus. After introducing the band, everything goes quiet, the lights slowly go out as everyone leaves and we’re left with just Matty and his guitar, alone in his house; and now that chorus that felt happy and warm previously feels so alone and melancholy. And sure it’s a love song but it’s not just romantic love, or I’d even say it’s mostly not about romantic love. It’s about touring, it’s about the fans, but most importantly it’s about his boys. Idk its just so gut wrenching and vulnerable, and something i think anyone who’s felt that kind of loneliness can really relate to. 🥺🫶

why is religious Christmas imagery all so joyful and pleasant? where is the inherent horror of the birth of Christ? A mother is handed her newborn child, wailing and innocent. Her hands come away sticky. Red. Simply by giving her son life she has already killed him. He is doomed from the beginning. Her love will not save him from suffering. Because the thing cradled in her arms is not a baby, it is a sacrifice: born amongst the other bleating animals whose blood will one day be spilled in the name of what demands it. the night is silent with anticipation. Mary, did you know? That your womb was also a grave?

Hate (affectionate) how it's made so clear from the very beginning of part 1 just how loved Paul is by his family and household. Both his parents, Duncan, Gurney, Thufir, even Dr Yueh all clearly care so deeply for this kid, and we're shown that time and time again.
Cut to the end of part two, and almost every one of those people is gone. The only ones who remain are a weird, came-back-wrong version of Jessica, and Gurney who has gone from mentor to worshipper. Paul goes from someone deeply loved and valued for who he is by a small but caring group of people - to someone followed and worshipped and feared by thousands. They're obsessed with him in a way, as a leader and "messiah", but nobody loves him.
The only one remaining who loves him for who he is is Chani, who leaves him because in the end that love isn't enough to bring who he is back.
