Recently I had an epiphany: Sam and Dean from Supernatural are basically Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker from the prequel trilogy, but with the age dynamic reversed.

…Which led to the horrifying thought of “what if Dean and Anakin were to meet,” because the galaxy is not ready for that level of chaos.

I was going to try to get to bed early today, but the neighbors across the street are practicing their tri-annual, week-long observation of Excuse To Blow Things Up Holiday.

One of my favorite things about tma that I’ve only really noticed on rewatch is how much human symbolism matters. Because the fears are so tied to humans (and animals), when someone gives something meaning- it gets meaning.

There wasn’t a rule saying Jonah could pass on his consciousness by removing his eyes and putting them in other people, but because he felt like it should and symbolically made sense to him, he gave it the power to do so (hell I’m sure all of his weird institute rules function on the same principle). There was nothing saying that if you burn a lot of stuff while a woman is giving birth her daughter will became an incarnation of the lightless flame, they had absolutely no clue if it would work, but because all the cult members believed it would, it did. Nikola decided Jon’s skin held enough power to be worn for the unknowing, and honestly if she had managed to successfully, shall we say peel him, I’m sure it would’ve worked wonders. Everyone gives these entities power through symbolic belief. It also goes the opposite direction.

Remember that random man named Robin Lenox in the jokey episode 100? Well, he entered the spiral, and because he wasn’t scared and gave it no power, he just… walked out again when he wanted to go home to mum’s dinner. When that woman in the buried train (I’m unfortunately forgetting her name) just gave up and submitted to defeat, but also wasn’t really scared, she just walked out. When Joshua (I think that was his name) had the coffin, it did nothing to him because he just didn’t pay attention to and went on with his life. Georgie felt no fear and was therefore immune to all the horrors. The world and the fears run on human belief and symbolism. When you give it power, it gets power. When you give it none, it takes none and can do nothing.

And the most interesting thing is I don’t think very many characters get this. They say “hey, this might work I don’t know, it feels like it makes sense but will it really?” And when it does work, they go “hey wow we must’ve done something right or cracked the magic code” when in reality they’re writing the rules as they go. There are a few thing that have set rules, like how you can’t only bring one entity in or how Jonah couldn’t become immortal, but on the whole it’s all just what people believe in.

All this to say we found tma cheat codes.

anyway so I’m watching shark movies (for no particular reason no sirrah you saw nothing) right now and

deep blue sea is? a shockingly good movie? actually?

it has an unhinged ruthless evil scientist who made sharks smarter For Science and? she’s? hot? and complex? and shockingly un-makeup’d and while she does end up in her underwear for one scene it’s for a frankly ingenious improvised weapon use AND no human characters see her that way and I just think she’s neat dot jpg

meanwhile I’m 14 minutes into Sharknado and already hollering at my television ‘OH MY GOD DON’T TOURNIQUET THAT HE’LL LOSE THE FOOT, IT’S SOME GOUGES, PACK IT WITH PADDING AND APPLY PRESSURE, WHAT KIND OF FIRST AIDE TRAINING DO YOU HAVE YOU’RE A FUCKING LIFEGUARD COME ON NOW’
