Normally Shane doesn't meet Ilya's eyes during their face-offs.

But in the last one he not only catches his eye but he *smiles* and Ilya fucking *melts*.

Ilya knows by this point eye contact does not come naturally to Shane so seeing him actively seek it out and seem so comfortable and relaxed probably made Ilya feel all warm and fuzzy.

"Chaltan is one sided!"

no

From the very first book, Altan is portrayed as someone used to being the favorite: the best student at Sinegard, the pride of Tyr, the prodigy praised by everyone, almost worshipped as a godlike figure rather than seen as a person. But it’s precisely Chaghan who breaks that illusion. From the moment Altan arrives at the Cike, he doesn’t flatter him, he doesn’t treat him as untouchable. Instead, he questions him, challenges him. And that’s where the heart of their dynamic lies. Chaghan is the only one who actually sees Altan as human, something almost nobody else does.

Throughout his life, Altan has been stripped of his humanity, reduced to a weapon, a symbol, a god of war. Even Rin describes him multiple times as “not human,” incapable of fear or other emotions (she had her reasons to say that anyway). The irony is that it’s Chaghan, a spy sent to kill Altan if necessary, is the one to give him back some of that humanity. In fact, many of the moments where we see Altan display real emotions (besides when he sacrifices himself ) happen with Chaghan the recklessness of risking everything to rescue him, the heated arguments, or the trust of confiding in him about the torture he endured

(And Chaghan even crossed the line of telling him that maybe the federation was right to burn Speer and he came out alive )

AND THE "Maybe Chaghan and Qara were connected through their bond as anchor twins, but it seemed that Altan was the one who had a deep connection with the seer "

Even if their closeness began through manipulation, with Altan taking advantage of Chaghan’s weakness for physical contact , cornering him, whispering to his ear , intertwining their hands...over time the roles shifted.The one who started out trying to control ended up becoming addicted to Chaghan’s attention and concern

That’s why reducing Altan to someone incapable of feeling for anyone is to fall into the same dehumanizing logic he suffered his whole life. His bond with Chaghan proves the opposite. (Also, when he told Rin she was the bravest person he ever met) It shows that he did feel, that he was capable of intimacy, of trust, of emotions. Denying that is, in a way, denying his humanity

So no, they weren’t one-sided at all

Syme and Parsons both asked Winston for razor blades. Winston had some razor blades hoarded up, but I believe it’s mentioned in the book at some point that they were particularly short on razor blades in Airstrip One in general.

Now, Syme, Parsons, Winston, Julia, Ampleforth, and many others all canonically got the axe by the end of the book. That is a LOT of people all from the same building who died. The events of the book all take place within a few months if I remember correctly— excluding, of course, all of the flashbacks to Winston’s childhood and marriage. So that is at least five people from the same general section who have been unpersoned within a few months. A bit odd, don’t you think?

Also remember that Winston was thinking of ways to kill himself to escape torture in Part One, after he gets the diary; the most viable way for one to kill himself is with a razor blade.

Syme was also working on the Eleventh Edition of Newspeak, and comments that eventually no one will be speaking the same language they are now.

Katharine, Winston’s wife, is proof that if a Party member wishes to engage in sex, it must be without pleasure, and with the goal of producing offspring. Enter the Anti-Sex League. Enter ARTSEM (artificial insemination).

Enter the massive change of Eurasia to Eastasia that everyone had to work on like maniacs.

I think every time the Party makes some major change to the language and political climate, they recognize that in order to maintain a new lie, they have to get rid of the evidence. So they manufacture a shortage of razor blades so that no one can kill themselves and force everyone living to work on changing the past and birthing children before they kill off whoever they need to kill to maintain the lie and the population.

After they didn’t need Syme for the language anymore, they discarded him. They still needed Parsons and Winston for Hate Week and to change the records; but AS SOON AS THEY WERE FINISHED, they were shipped off to Miniluv. They may have needed Julia as an extra hand in fiction to produce more materials to distract the proles from all the giant changes, and discarded her after she had made sufficient pornography to do that.

The Party is like a rocket ship; it detonated in stages.

This point is further proven by O’Brien’s dialogue:

“Your kind is extinct. We are the inheritors.”
