Call me Mo

[here-on-occasion]

With all the multiverse themed scifi being produced recently, I don't think anything's made use of it quite like the first series of Loki. It's a story about stories, with characters rejecting their roles and killing their authors. It's a story of solidarity, with prison breaks and self sacrifice and facing the danger together. It's a story of free will and questions whether that means singular actions or the core of our identities. It uses age-old sci-fi tropes (weird ones) to construct a metaphor for self-reflection. All so when mobius tells loki he can "be whoever you want to be", he already knows. because sylvie’s already shown him.

RIP ​Sylvie Laufeydottir, you made a morally complex decision that ended up being so uncomplicatedly the right choice when you think about it for longer than a minute that the writers had to invent a whole new thingamajig out of thin air and perform narrative sleight of hand with it so you wouldn't be 100% correct and even then they still had to pretend we don't all know what "infinity" means for it to work

not been involved in any type of theatre in any capacity since I was like 16 but I still think I'd be an unforgettable algernon

we have to make more women suffer in fiction but crucially not in a man pain way. we have to let women suffer in fiction the way men are always allowed to suffer in fiction. we need women who grieve their male love interests always dying horribly at the hands of the villain of the week the way male action heroes always do. we need women who suffer in ways other than "dying in childbirth" and "abusive male relative". we need women with interiority and depth of character having the worst time of their fucking lives.

Reminder from Sylvie

[tinyyellowflowers-blog]

Was talking to a coworker today who explained that her grandfather was like Snow White “but Californian. And an old man.” in that the creatures of the forest would follow him around and presumably duet with him.

“When he died the ravens sat in the trees outside for a week, watching. Taking turns. A horde of raccoons tried to break into the house every night, tearing at the siding. Eventually they gave up, but it was unsettling.”

“Aww. They were checking on him!” I said, like a normal person. Internally, I thought “Maybe you could do the thing you do with dead pets, where you show them to the living pets so the living pet understands they’re gone. But I guess if you did that to a bunch of scavenging species, they’d be like “Well, that’s very sad but he IS food now.” So what you’d need, for human sensibilities, is some sort of transparent corpse barrier. Like a see-through coffin oh that’s what the dwarves were doing! You’ve stopped paying attention to this conversation about the loss of a beloved family member you gotta phase back in.”

oh that's what the dwarves were doing

What's everyone's favourite flowers that aren't like. The normal ones. Like everyone's a fan of roses and sunflowers what's a more niche one. One you don't get in gift sets. Mine's sweet peas
