it’s about being queer it’s about surviving assault it’s about alienation and most of all it’s about how everyone who loved you before might not be able to even look at you now, no matter how many times you try to explain that you didn’t ask to die and you didn’t ask for that death to leave you only half-eaten when it got bored of you.

ALSO Emmrich Volkarin is in the prime of his life so jot that down. His lifestyle is healthy as hell, he's wealthy and a MAGE. There's lore, iirc, that mages live longer than most on average. What I'm trying to say is that my man is going to live to be 110. Running circles around people half his age the entire time. He teaches until he's 90 and then he and a 70-year-old Rook go on the Thedas equivalent of one of those year-long cruises where they just go to a different major Thedosian city every week. Every year on his nameday he pats his grandchildren on the head and tells them that, while it may be his last birthday in the realm of the living, he's so glad he got to spend time with them. He gets weapy about it. He does this until said grandchildren are well into their twenties. Emmrich dies quickly without much malingering of some sort of fast illness, or maybe goes quietly and painlessly in his sleep, at WELL OVER 100, I cannot stress this enough, and then they pop him in his sarcophagus and his ghost haunts the Necropolis for a few years, unseen but felt by the sudden rushes of warmth and affection his family will sometimes feel on rainy days. Rook goes at a similarly advanged age and as the world fades out, Emmrich's face fades in--smiling, beautiful, looking exactly as he did when they met. Because Emmrich at 52 is in the prime of his life, goddamn it, and I will die on this hill.

i really like fallout because, unlike a lot of media that uses retrofuturism as just a cool aesthetic, fallout’s obsession with 1950s americana actually means something. it’s not just chrome fins and googie diners, it’s weaponized optimism. it’s that sickly-sweet propaganda sheen slathered over nuclear terror, where smiling mascots tell you to duck and cover while the government quietly preps for the end of the world. it’s about a country that believed so hard in its own greatness it signed its death warrant in cursive.

fallout takes that warped, post-war idealism, the “gee whiz!” charm of suburbia on lithium. and drags it through the dirt, showing us what happens after all the white picket fences melt into radioactive slag. in a world shaped by that specific brand of McCarthyist exceptionalism, the future isn’t flying cars and robot butlers, it’s a dinky holotape of your last moments before the bombs hit, looping forever. like vault 11, the one where the final recording plays after everyone’s already dead, revealing the whole “sacrifice one person every year or everyone dies” mandate was a lie. a loyalty test. a sick joke. and the vault passed, right before it failed, because paranoia and desperation had already eaten them alive.

that’s fallout. not just the end of the world, but the punchline that comes after the moral.

and honestly? that hits way harder than any sleek utopia. because fallout remembers: beneath all that pastel patriotism and canned laughter, something was always rotting.

When Phantom is portrayed as a “love story” I always feel like it’s a completely inadequate, misleading statement. The final kiss is not about Christine’s romantic love for the Phantom; he has broken away from the human race and adopted the role of a ghost, or a monster, and her light and warmth and compassion remind him of the burden of humanity. The kiss makes him accept responsibility for the horrific things that he has done; it makes him accept that he is a member of the human race. There is love, of course, but the Phantom does not love Christine until she forces him to acknowledge his humanity- and in forcing him to acknowledge that, she holds him accountable for his actions. He is no longer the troublesome ghost or deformed monster; he is a man who has done terrible things that he will never be able to reverse, but despite it all, Christine finds the strength and compassion to extend an act of kindness to him- to give him something that he was denied his entire life; love in any form. I believe that Christine cares for him, and wants him to be saved from the monster that he has turned himself into to protect himself. I do not believe that she loves him romantically; I simply think that she recognizes what needs to be done for him to accept his role as a person. He had to experience warmth and love and compassion to be saved, not necessarily of a romantic nature, but- as the lyrics state for us- something to show him that he is not alone.

My opinion is not the only opinion, of course, but that’s how I view the final kiss.

Personally I like that Guillermo Del Toro takes the Beauty and The Beast premise that tries to assert the “women exist to tame and benefit men” patriarchal narrative and changes it into two misunderstood people finding companionship with one another after being ostracized by the cruelty of men.
