Hades gives Orpheus a trial he knows he himself could never succeed at, but it isn’t just that Hades knows he would turn around. Hades has been failing this trial every single year. He shows up too early. He turns too soon. He is so full of doubt that even the natural order of the world, that Persephone will return to him, is not something he can trust. Hades would fail the trial he has given Orpheus, and he already has. All alone, his blood runs thin.

Some performances have really hit this explicitly on the head with Orpheus and Eurydice changing their final lines to each other

[Orpheus turns around]

Eurydice: [shocked, speaking with fear and despair] You’re early.

Orpheus: [same] I missed you.

the thing about horror film in particular is that there’s 100% a formula for good horror, but the genre is so deeply intertwined with the specific ecosystem of its audience’s collective unconscious that that formula changes like twice a generation. so that means that every ten years some mcnobody comes out with a horror film that hits the juckport 1 william dollars and will be imitated by dozens of better funded endeavors to come, not just despite but because of the fact that mcnobody hadn’t done anything but barebones cheap b movie/student film/youtube stuff before this and therefore had the space to experiment and figure out the new formula

[grimeclown]

I don't know which of you needs to hear this but "narc" is not short for "narcissist" when someone calls you a "narc" for snitching they are calling you a "narcotics officer"

[gaesnek]

[monkey-mulch]

technically narc isnt even short for narcotics officer its just cant for Cop, I believe Roma in origin

[red-mercer]

I read years ago in a book that it was derived from nakk, Romani for nose, as in someone who always has their nose in other people's business

[grimeclown]

ITS DERIVED FROM "NARCO" AS IN "NARCOTICS" WHAT FUCKING BOOK

[grimeclown]

Okay you know what pulling back on my derision because i can see how this mistake would be made but narc and nark are etymologically unrelated

[headspace-hotel]

Etymology is always doing some shit like this

[bogleech]

Convergent evolution.

[bisexual-engineer-girl]

Linguistic crab

[backofthebookshelf]

Two entire linguistic traditions have merged to remind you not to be a fuckin narc

someone in the tags said that a lot of the distress-tolerance training for people with OCD is similar to the distress-tolerance training they're learning for their reactive dog and i love that because yeah. we really are just mammals huh.
