number one complaint about this show that annoys me is when people want to be spoon-fed their own moral interpretation of things by the writers because they basically want prescriptive psa storytelling. why is no one calling out daniel's racist microagressions? why did madeleine not acknowledge that she could not consent under nazi occupation? why does lestat not explicitly address the childhood grooming that led to his incestuous relationship with gabriella? why won't this show tell me that these things are Bad so i can feel morally satisfied? why does this show make me uncomfortable when everything is about my comfort? it must be that the writers are not doing this on purpose and it's bad writing, not that i'm incapable of or unwilling to engage in nuanced thought when watching a show with problematic characters by design

lestat's bass player is jackie daytona to me. like this headcanon will be with me until the grave, that is what jackie daytona looks like to normal people in universe.

it's crushing how silna's arc ends in exile. that crozier only learns her name the last time he sees her, that he never calls her by it until after she's already gone. that he chooses his own exile, repentant, yet in her place, while silna is banished for his (and the other men's) actions. she has spent the narrative with her own battles — of grief, of kidnapping, of unwanted responsibilities and failing to live up to them in the eyes of others; of trying to assist people that murder her own, blame and dehumanise her, brand her with an exotic title pushed upon her for that same grief — and it ends with her displacement.

then there's the killing of tuunbaq itself and how that represents a severance from her heritage and culture. not only for its significance to the community, or by its effect of getting her banished from it, but, since tuunbaq was connected to her father as shaman, in a way she's also losing part of what's left of her connection to him. all this after he was already disgraced by being denied a dignified death on the ice or given funerary rites by his daughter, according to netsilik tradition.

attacked, silenced, blamed, and finally displaced. erased, in some ways. of course, myths of a 'vanishing' people are also a colonialist narrative, portraying the disappearance of both them and their ways of life as inevitable, and it's worth saying that inuit representation in the terror doesn't subscribe to this. but, silna's individual story is one of tragedy, in line with the series' tone. she has agency, approaches the ships and their people with some curiosity, and does all that she's able to fulfil her role as shaman. in the end, none of that is enough to protect her from an inherently destructive imperial presence; one that separates her from her community and permanently alters her way of life.

so that last shot, crozier sitting with the child asleep against him, leaves an appropriately bitter taste. it isn't just sad or eerie for what we've witnessed throughout the show, it's uncomfortable. its visually peaceful (or mournful) nature is undermined by how disjunct crozier's presence in the shot feels. like a perfect picture from a documentary photographer — except something's there that shouldn't be. and something that should, isn't.

i think the thing with dogma is bartleby sees their banishment as a break up and loki sees it as a disowning so in the end loki fears/loves god as an abused child continues to love and fear a parent they hate and bartleby feels entitled to a love that was not unconditional and was taken away. do we. do you see.

[charlesleeraejepsen]

to this end i think in each other loki sees bartleby as family and bartleby sees loki as a rebound.
