REMARKABLY SANGUINE FOR A HARD-CORE EXISTENTIALIST @meredithalden - Tumblr Blog

How do you know what you should do

You pay very close attention your body because it doesn’t know how to lie to you, and pay very little attention to your mind because it is lying to you all the time

tbh I don't want a tv show version of imperial radch, i want a three act musical or perhaps an opera

Just like. Imagine the ancillaries and the mercy of Kalr soldiers as a chorus (but mercy of Kalr a slightly less coordinated one)

anaander miaannai always represented by multiple actors as well

tisarwat portrayed by a character who has previously played a background annaander. Audience assumed through the first song that this is a simple recast (mercy of kalr soldiers are non-1 Esk ancillaries and the actress for Awn plays Basnaiad so it's not a massive stretch)

when the communication between ancillaries is cut off on Ors, the previously in sync ancillaries start singing on top of each other. Even once they've organised each other a bit, they still miss their cues a bit or come in a tiny bit too early

throughout the flashback scenes the ancillaries always hum in the background, even during crisis situations, so when JoT is destroyed and there's suddenly only one voice singing you feel the same whiplash as Breq

Speaking of which, the actor who plays Breq is introduced late in the flashbacks, so the only way you know they're the same character is that they have the same leitmotif (One Var has a similar but distinct one, as do the other decades, and of course Justice of Toren as a whole is a combination of them)

during the conversation between one Var/anaander; one esk and lieutenant Dariat, and JoT and hundred captain Rubren, each interlocuter sungs a couplet, and then they all finish the verse with "Ship, what do you think" - and then the three "faces" of JoT do the same and end their verse with "I think something is very wrong"

one esk 19's flight from JoT is a patter song, but with each verse sung by a different one esk ancillary with the rest of the decade giving backing vocals - until the ship explodes

do you see the vision

siren

happyk44

[ID: Digital illustration. A construction worker hangs from a rigging. They’re looking towards a large siren. She stands on the edge of a box-like frame. Another worker hangs limp in her claws, their rope severed but still attached to their harness. Her mouth is bloodied.

She is depicted in the original form of sirens from Greek mythology: a creature with the head and torso of a human and the body of a bird. /end ID]

i have been noticing recently that people younger than me are too sensitive, while people older than me are not sensitive enough. which, if i'm correct, should be taken as a sign that the total reality penetration vortex is operating as intended -- within as few as five or six generations we may very well be producing babies who can directly perceive the wound at the heart of the world
