zero stars for nolan because odysseus, on his journey home to ithaca, was NOT visited by a ghost that tells him that once he reaches his home, once he slays all his enemies and sets his house in order he must do one last thing before he can rest. the ghost does NOT tell him to pick up an oar, walk inland, keep walking, until somebody mistakes that oar for a shovel. for that would be the place that no man has ever been troubled by the sea. and that's where he'd find peace.

one of my favorite flint-isms is the way he always pretends that whatever situation he's currently in is the ideal situation for them to be in. he says 'we have nassau. we are strongest now.' and then he loses nassau and he's like 'just because we lost nassau doesn't mean rogers has nassau. he is still trying to get it under control. therefore, he is weakest now, and we are at our strongest.' and then rogers gains control of nassau and flint is like 'now that rogers is in control of nassau, he believes he can take it for granted. so he won't see us coming. therefore, we are strongest right now.' and somehow you find yourself nodding along every time.

on one hand, silver killing flint is great because he spends the rest of his life lying to madi and waiting for her to trust and believe him again but she never will. on the other hand, silver leaving flint with thomas means one day flint will look in the mirror and wonder if the comfort has grown stale and he's casting about in the dark for some proof that he mattered and finding none and he'll know that he gave it away in that moment on that island with silver

silver is so fuckable in s2 bc flint wants to fuck him. he pressed that dude against the wall and put a knife to his throat and found out he was actually being smart and his dick got naturally hard for the first time in 10 years. the only reason he didnt proposition silver is bc he knows silver is a liar and a thief and could 100% blackmail him so instead flint allows there to be this very thick sexual tension in the hopes that Silver will crack and do something about it. alas. silver is insane.

Of a man that thinks he’s a dog but he’s actually a man with a leash on his hand.

The dog, the real dog, yanks on the leash and asks the man to pull him back and hold him.

The man doesn’t, even as the dog begs, he’s too afraid to hold it at all—he thinks: ‘how can a dog own a man?’

The dog runs and bites rampantly. The man watches him in terror and waits for his owner to come back.

Half men becoming Full men episode 6

Ruben says to be groped is attack on the soul-

Ruben GROPES Niall, he IS the first sexual experience from a man that Niall has. It wasn’t an attack on soul but an entanglement of souls between these two half men.

Niall is confused when Ruben decides to say Alby groped him. Not just because he thinks Ruben is tough as can be- but because Niall doesn’t even realize that was the reaction he was “supposed” to have with Ruben, the night Ruben did that to him.

We clearly see now this twisted love both have for eachother.

Ruben reveals the closeness he felt with his father (very fucked up i am not condoning his dad) however we Niall and Audience cannot put Rubens feelings at fault. These were his first sexual experiences and deeply changed him as a person at his core.

Hypsexuality, only knowing violence as a way to express his own homosexuality- because he never got to experience this glow of a first gay sexual encounter the way we do with Niall’s fuzzy warm scene he has with Ruben.

So when Ruben says “in a lot of ways it’s the closest I’ve ever been with someone” the look of bewilderment on Niall’s face and the the broken eye contact away. Not only realizing the severity of the statement but Niall himself realizing his sexual experience with Ruben was the most blissful and safest “little death” he has ever probably experienced in his life. With Ruben on him, around him- breathing his air- smelling him. All the senses are imprinted with Ruben.

Niall is ashamed that he feels this same closeness and love for Ruben- that his body an every feeling with sex is marked with Ruben. And he is that drug he can’t get enough of- even when he’s vomiting and ill-

We see “the drug” (Ruben) act up again at the wedding when Niall thinks he’s clean of Ruben, sober of Ruben-!but Niall then seeks permission from Ruben to marry Alby. From then on this scene establishes that it would never stop, not after the marriage- Ruben would consume Niall Kennedy and Niall would let him.

Back in the barn- Ruben takes Niall’s air away, Ruben relishes in what he’s doing to Niall (he was grinding and choking him chat).

If Niall says the love he experiences for Ruben is a drug, I think Niall himself OD’d in that barn- Niall willingly follows Ruben in that barn without any sort of hesitation. He goes and pushes those barn doors apart himself.

What happens after is the drug taking full effect on Niall Kennedy’s body-

Ruben is here “to break the teacup and put it back together “ as Hannibal does time and time again with Will Graham

Ruben breaks Niall, so they can be reset in the next life just as Reuben looks forward to with his relationship with his mother.

Because death is the ultimate do over for Ruben

fellas what would you do if on your wedding day the guy who went to prison for assaulting you to the extent that you went into a coma for six months and needed multiple facial reconstruction surgeries arrived at your wedding uninvited and pulled your now-husband aside for a private conversation because they have a multi-decade toxic/homoerotic/abusive step-brother dynamic which resulted in both of them leaving in body bags. at your wedding. asking for a friend

[nightof1000cats]

It’s genuinely fucking crazy how Rueben stated that it was the closest he ever felt to someone when he was being assaulted by his Father and then seeing how he sexually assaulted Niall MULTIPLE TIMES 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭. The implications are fucking crazy!!!
