The Silt Verses my absolute beloved: I'm relistening and was so excited to get back to Chapter 17, and the way that most of the episode just sweeps over you with an unexpected degree of kindness. Important to be reminded that kindness — or something like it — is possible, even in this brutal world.

#the silt verses #tsv #the silt verses season 2 #pine's silt verses relisten #'the words are kind and i enjoy their closeness to my breath' love 2 have feelings about the way we reach for poetry for the ritualized wor #to soothe #as much as all the other things #and now thinking my little thoughts about prayers and rituals and liturgy and how the language of tsv often allows us to navigate #the horrors in a metaphorical-metaphysical?-way #the way the show uses a kind of mythical cadence in its narration carries us into the space of myth or fairy tale #and lets us sit outside it: this is a story #but the naturalistic dialogue and the immersive soundscapes and the so-real performances force us to be present #writing meta in the tags because its after midnight and i don't have it in me to really write this rn #but I'm eternally stunned by this show #no id #sorry i am in a lot of pain and am going to bed soon!
