Sometimes, I cry so hard I can feel it in my ribs. / I feel like the real me is backed into a corner inside me

Love when you're clearly not suited for each other and love when it's doomed to fail and love when you feel it end before it begins and love when you both know all of this and love each other till it becomes tragic and love when it's the only thing you can do before you die and love when there's no point in doing anything else

You know what’s a million times more exciting than a random plot twist that comes out of nowhere? A plot twist that was foreshadowed by things you didn’t realize were foreshadowing at first. Nothing makes me go absolutely bananas like the feeling of “oh FUCK…[seemingly unrelated thing] WAS FORESHADOWING”

DOUBLE YES

i’m thinking about the witcher still… i think the show did a really interesting job of subverting the Stoic Cool Action Man archetype. I was fully expecting to not like Geralt at all but I REALLY liked him.

“Unfeeling badass that’ll hack his way to victory” is how everyone else perceives him, while in reality he’s this introverted, kind of awkward guy who actively goes out of his way to mitigate conflict and shows compassion towards the “monsters” he’s “supposed” to be coldly killing (the whole thing with the striga? Ouch!). He’s basically a zoologist. The idea that he IS this archetypical emotionless cool fighterman is really what actively alienates him. Cavill seems to play him as if he’s playing an actual wolf at times – alert and cautious, teetering on wild, but the sad puppy dog eyes are what get you. He talks to his horse because he is lonely. His reactions to things are hilarious and often genre-aware. When he IS an asshole, it sometimes comes with a sympathetic reason, but is definitively presented as a character flaw, not an admirable trait as a Stoic Action Badass.

He has a bunch of sex but it never comes off as weird or demeaning (to either the women or the audience). The climactic battle of the season is fought by Yennefer alongside mostly other women, while Geralt spends it hallucinating all the women who have influenced his life. He doesn’t swoop in and rescue Ciri like a big old hero, he just stands there and is open and she runs to him herself.

A lot of it was very subtle but it was very effective in making him this extremely likable character that managed to take these character traits but present them in this kinder, genuine way where he came off as an actual person and not an avatar for a lady-boning hack-and-slashing dudebro.

and yeah the song is still stuck in my head

“I think there’s a rich ream of horror, from The Haunting of Hill House to Ghostwatch, that delves into the idea that certain places can simply go wrong – and once these bad environments have been established and ostracised by society, they can’t be exorcised. They simply keep accruing power through the individual stories that play tragically out in their shadow.

“I mention a real-life example of that kind of bad architecture in one episode; the Pope Lick Bridge in Kentucky, a place that looks and feels so sinister that it developed its own local folklore about a goat-man who attacks people who stray too close to the edge – and which has ended up resulting in deaths as visitors peer over the side trying to get a peek at the monster.

“I find this kind of stuff fascinating, because it plays into my own paranoia about environments, and my dislike of ghost stories with explicably human antagonists. Like David says in the first episode, people aren’t frightening. Places are frightening.

“If I’m sitting alone at home on a dark and stormy night, and I glance nervously up towards the bedroom doorway, my fear is not that my house is being haunted by a spirit called Mabel who died in the 19th century at the age of fourteen and is constantly seeking her favourite teddy bear… because all of these details both humanise her and make her ridiculous.

“My fear is that there will be something standing in the doorway, because the doorway is where things come to stand.

“Because unoccupied spaces, in our imaginations, must find something to fill them.”
