Confused ace

Currently thinking a lot about the witcher so expect stuff about that for now but some other stuff too

[sesamie]

learning that addiction is a progressive narrowing of the range of things that make one happy was kinda life changing for me. i apply it to everything not even just addiction i am always checking to ask if i am narrowing my range of happiness or widening it

[sparklyslug]

okay last thing and then I am making myself go for a run or something BUT—

Been thinking about how much has been made of how physical Ali is as David with Michael to show his attraction to him (and rightfully so, let’s keep making much of it) but I also think LJ is doing VERY subtle body language work in how he responds to it all.

Because I think a sort of shocked/surprised reaction would be sort of the go-to, especially in that first meeting. Considering the context of who Michael is, it would perhaps be appropriate and not even in a “this is grossing me out” way. But LJ NEVER plays it like that.

From the JUMP David touches Michael tenderly on the face and Michael, AN ABUSED CHILD FOR WHOM TOUCH IS A LOADED THING, just straight up seems to accept it without question.

I think there are a lot of possible interpretations for this (and not all of them are necessarily him being attracted to David too), and I think they are ALL more unexpected and complex and interesting than the “whoa dude what?” reaction that Michael COULD be having.

anyway throuple's been canon the whole time lol

atla just so happened to write one of the most insane and complex brother sister relationships in all of television, and yet for some reason everyone focused on zuko and azula instead, even though they are basically just normal siblings, and as such not even that interesting ..

[comradekatara]

their dynamic is more fraught and tragic than you could ever comprehend……

this☝️ is just a typical sibling interaction

[adrenaline-revolver]

katara and sokka are what happens when you are your brother’s mother and your brother also tries to be your father. you love them, you hate them, you’re half of them, you can’t stand them, you look after them, they keep you safe.

azula and zuko are both just gifted kid burnouts with a dad that only loves the winner.

Loyalty (1869)

— by Briton Rivière

[sparklyslug]

On collaborating with designer Ryan Park and the thought behind David’s dagger earrings:

“…and it would be cool if I like, handed a blade to Michael, like if I gave him the blade to take control of his life, and he walks around with this choice he’s made on his ear”

Which he ultimately uses on you! Cool! Haha! Yeah, cool! I’m fine btw.

[sparklyslug]

STAR: you want to talk to him?

DAVID: Yes.

STAR: David…don’t come on too strong

DAVID (to Michael): YOU BELONG TO ME

In the dead of the night I have to have you

[grumfy]

we as a society do not explore proxy sex enough………….

[grumfy]

i don’t even know if that’s what you’d call it but there’s nothing more alluring to me than 2 characters who are not attracted to each other fucking each other pretending or imagining they’re fucking someone else. and peak is when they’re both thinking about the same person

[grumfy]

idc if it gets my dyke card revoked but because “not attracted to each other” is key here one of my favorite takes on this is like one of them having an incompatible sexual orientation with the other and screwing anyways because the other person has some sort of connection/closeness to the person they’re both in love with

[breadofsalvation]

men have one homoerotic rivalry and make it everyones problem for the rest of their life

Michael, watching the massive parade of red flags that is David: Hi fun fact, colors do have meaning and there is a legit thing called color theory. Red does has more positive connotations than negative. Red is associated with more love, lust, passion than blood and death---

Still fascinated by what Ali said in one of his interviews about the thought process behind making the Lost Boys be a band. The idea that by making their songs diegetic they no longer have to be truthful / reveal the inner feelings or motivations of the characters is such a cool way to preserve the mystery of the vampires. Unlike all the other characters that have to sing whatever is in their heart at any given time, the vampires are allowed to lie and obfuscate and choose to reveal just enough to make you feel like you are getting to know them, but it’s all manufactured. Incidentally, I think this is why Max has so few singing moments throughout the show (only getting a few lines in Wild and then The Reckoning). Since his character has no in-universe reason to sing, he would not be able to hide his real intentions and be proper twist villain if he sang before the reveal.
