i kind of hate it when they cast the same 10 superstars who are in literally everything in a movie. celebrity-sickness

[tsarina-anadyomene]

not every movie needs to be an ensemble cast of timothee chalamet, zendaya, tom holland, robert pattinson, and anya taylor-joy

I grew up before the term 'thigh gap' was invented I grew up before 'hip dip' was invented I was born before 'muffin top' was a thing before 'clean girl look' was a thing before 'glass skin' was a thing before razoring off peach fuzz was a thing and I'm so so so fucking tired of us inventing new concepts purely for the purpose of convincing people to hate their own bodies enough to buy products

Last time Tuberculosis ran through the USA a small number of people got it on purpose to look skinny and waifish and delicate and used makeup to look flushed and bony and when the Victorians figured out tapeworms people would infect themselves on purpose to starve themselves smaller and women and now in the year of our lord 2026 there is a noticeable fraction of the USAmerican population genuinely thrilled about a treatment-resistant microbial parasite that makes you shit and vomit your brains out for a month because side effects include weight loss and STILL we talk about being skinny like it's the natural default setting for all healthy people as if it's a self-sustaining standard and not an imaginary goal that we are constantly constantly constantly beating ourselves with a whip to acheive

So obviously this is a funny line. It's one of the earliest instances of Sissel saying something both very weird and disarmingly sincere, even if he's mostly parroting Ray from earlier.

But what also catches my interest is his phrasing: he doesn't say "I don't want to leave her there," he says he's "not the type" to leave her there. Rather than stating his wants, he asserts this as part of his identity. Which, as he realizes not long after this, is something he doesn't have much of at the moment.

Obviously, one could read this as a bit of Sissel's personality shining through, as it does in some other bits of dialogue. After all, later in the story, he makes the choice to keep saving people even when it lends him no benefit.

...But that's only after some character development. As we learn towards the end, in a version of events where Ray isn't being such a mysterious tutorial guide, Sissel doesn't choose to help Lynne at all. And before this, when he was alive, he wasn't someone with the means to help anyone out much, regardless of his desires.

That said, the face he's wearing isn't his own. And that face is also closely entwined with his memories, a person he knew for a long time.

Okay, you might be saying, so maybe he said this because he thought Yomiel was "that type." But why would he think that? Yomiel spent most of Sissel's life in an agonized, lonely state of depression and anger. He probably wasn't doing much helping anyone. In fact, he even caused Lynne's current predicament.

Why would Sissel subconsciously think of Yomiel as "the type" to reach out and help a lone, desperate soul with no means to help themselves?
