hi :) I like to talk about stuff | they/them | 06 | I speak 🇬🇧 🇵🇱 🇺🇦

[seemoregiass]

Intro post! Hello and welcome:)

About me:

I am from Poland and live in the UK.

My favourite book of ALL TIME is The Catcher in the Rye. I could go on about it forever. In general I lovee talking about my interests, but then again doesn't everyone?

Interests: I love anything nuclear/radioactivity related as well as planes. Fandom wise I like Good Omens, TES, anything David Tennant has been in, THG and more! My favourite singer is Elton John but I also like Queen and NF.

(I have a LOT more that'll probably come up on this blog, too)

Favourite games: TES: Morrowind, TWDG, RDR2, Elden ring

Favourite movies: The Passenger (2023), Mysterious Skin, Dzień Świra

Hobbies: writing, reading, collecting old watches, poetry, drawing (digital and ink). I also write on ao3 sometimes

I am a HUGE fan of listening to other people's OC lore or sharing my own! Genuinely, I could spend hours learning about everyone's OC's, it's so cool to see what kind of stories people can come up with. That's my favourite thing about Art Fight, too.

Extras:

I want to use this blog to talk about anything and everything at all that comes to mind, interact with people and fandom content and anything else i'll find along the way. I may also post some of my poetry/writing.

I love talking to people so if you wanna start up a discussion or comment on anything I am ALL for it. DM's, comments and all else you can possibly think of. It'd be cool to meet people with similar interests or hobbies.

That's all ty for reading! <3

(also i am new to tumblr so will be figuring everything out as i go)

I fw stalker Benson heavily.

Benson feeling the need to look out for Randy while he’s working. Always taking care of the angry customers for him, telling Chris off, lifting the heavy boxes, etc. Eventually, he begins to worry about Randy’s wellbeing outside of work. The only possible solution is to start following him home every night after they get off…just to make sure he gets there safely.

This bad habit spirals, and he decides Randy should be cared for daily…not just when it’s convenient. He overhears phone calls with Randy’s mother, where Randy complains about having to do the grocery shopping the next day. Benson sits outside of the store all day until he finally catches Randy heading inside. He just needs to make sure no one speaks to him, and he’s safe.

Benson thinks he’s doing the right thing by looking out for Randy, who clearly can’t take care of himself. He sees no problem with his odd behaviors, especially since Randy is blissfully unaware.

My thoughts on Half Man (2026)

First off, I think the portrayal of Ruben's violence was amazing. The fear he struck into arguably all of his family members (especially Niall, of course) from the very beginning and them all walking around eggshells to avoid new issues with him. Anytime he was on screen his actions were frightening and unpredictable.

I also liked that Niall was used as a tool meant to soften Ruben's past issues, he had to help him in school and deal with the brunt of his anger. No wonder he ended up so messed up from it all! His own mother was more preoccupied with Ruben's wellbeing until it was too late and Niall grew dependent on him.

My personal favourite part was the way Ruben manipulated everyone around him, always having something against Niall to force him to do whatever he wanted. He had a similar sort of control over Mona, trying to stifle her freedom the way he had Niall's.

There's also the ever-recurring theme of sexual assault.

There's the obvious: the abuse Ruben suffered at the hands of his father. It makes sense how many of his interactions with Niall were bordering on sexual violence when that is how he admitted he has felt the closest to someone. I like how he said it makes him feel like a 'half-man', while Niall feared similar about himself but due to his sexuality.

There is also the abuse Niall suffered at Ruben's hands. The first scene where he is forced into a 'threesome' with the girl Ruben brought over as well as the uncomfortable interactions with Ruben throughout their life. It was mainly physical but undeniably also sexual in nature and it makes sense why he would feel like they are part of one whole person as a result - he also resulted in feeling the closest to someone through sexual assault.

Just like Alby had said, 'It all makes sense now. Why he feels part of you.'

And of course the ending. I really like the fact that they both ended up killing each other but again, I feel like Niall's mother was a lot more distraught over Ruben dying than her son. I also like that it's left up to interpretation how Ruben died, whether he finished himself off or bled out.

I found the death scene almost uncomfortable, since it was definitely meant to seem very similar to a sexual encounter. The noises and motions that Ruben was making and overall the undertones of their complicated relationship.

All in all, it was a great TV show. I loved the themes and message behind it, of two men tormented by secrets. I do see why they were often compared to as being the same.

(Also as a side note I LOVED Alby calling Niall a performer due to his repressed sexuality it was a very cool metaphor)

Did anyone else think the opening scene of the episode was kinda like the Evil Morty backstory?

I don't smoke cigarettes but i swear to god I need one when I'm talking to most people about The Catcher in the Rye. No, that 16 year old is not the spawn of satan. He is not a bad person either. Yes, teenagers are still children. Yes, it is heavily implied through his behaviors, thoughts, perspectives, fears, and compulsions that he was sexually assaulted, even if there isn't a chapter where Holden says out loud "I was assaulted." Yes, it is anti-war. Yes, it is actually commentary on world war 2. Yes, it is actually that deep, and that is why it has been remembered & celebrated & read for this long. They wouldn't make you read this book multiple times in classes about important literature during your formative years if it wasn't at least a little important.

Yes, Holden Caulfield's ideas are hypocritical and self-contradicting. No, that does not mean he is a bad person. Everyone is contradictory, and if you aren't, you should become more nuanced in general.

Yes, I am aware that Holden describes himself as being an incredibly sexual person, then freaks out at the mention or thought of intimacy. Did you see the part where I said that he was implied to be a survivor of childhood sexual assault? Yeah, this is one of those parts that's supposed to make the CSA plotline click in your mind. Did it click? No. Is that J.D. Salinger's problem? No. Are people who experienced CSA more likely to understand Catcher than people who haven't? Yes, because the novel portrays Holden's trauma incredibly well. Is Holden "just an immature selfish creep" because he's fixated on childhood and laments the inevitable loss of innocence that could happen to anyone at any moment? NO. ONCE AGAIN, READ THE PART WHERE HIS KID BROTHER DIED UNEXPECTEDLY & HOLDEN WAS SEXUALLY ABUSED AS A CHILD.

The book makes more sense when you actually read it, I swear to God.

Book so good I need to have it in more than one language (featuring my not so humble collection:3)

Neat bit of foreshadowing in 'A Little Life'

Here, Harold is explaining his case about the football team who all died while driving a van they borrowed. It's presented as a moral dilemma of whether the parents of the dead team members were right to sue the owner of the van. Jude is the only one who calls it "right" even if it might not be fair. At the time, neither Harold nor the reader know why he said that.

But THEN, after Willem's death, it seems that the hypothetical situation is brought to life as Jude sues basically anyone who was even remotely involved in the crash, even if it may ruin their lives.

There's probably more to it but for now I'm just sharing this neat little detail:)
