Claudia is going to be the biggest mistake Lestat has ever made in his entire life...the fact that she died. The death of Claudia is going to be the thing that haunts him forever…the fact that he saw her look at him with a pure connection at the end[.] I think he’ll never get that image out of his head, and I think what it does is it also sets us up for a relationship with a haunting of Claudia and Lestat that is quite exciting…because Lestat has not gotten any closure there, and he has a lot to atone for. He has done some really terrible things, and I think a wonderful motivation for a character going forward is shame.

There is no way to understand every aspect of the novel in its fullest depth, despite its length and painful attention to detail. The structure of Infinite Jest is a representation of the massiveness of contemporary life, characterized by entertainment, over-stimulation, and disillusionment. This appears to be Wallace’s diagnosis of the modern world. Suffering results from this existential predicament. We must find ways to have identity beyond addiction within a massive and expanding entertainment-driven culture that is easy to become lost in—and in doing so, we become addicted. We devote ourselves to small, specific pieces of the puzzle, because the entirety of it would be too much to comprehend. Existence guarantees suffering in some form or another, and thus the human instinct seems to be to attempt to escape this inherent suffering by devoting oneself to something else—alcohol, drugs, entertainment, wealth, or even a straight-faced understanding of God, in the case of Mario (1996, 591).

wait what is this about will’s secret pond?? 😭 i remember reading it in a fic once was it not just fiction…

What is it like to live a life without this knowledge...my beautiful secret pond..let me save you now...

The secret pond is very real! It is mentioned in this article from March 11, 2024:

Will Smith still won’t reveal where he found the “secret little pond,” other than that it’s nestled amongst the trees somewhere in Lexington.

Though college hockey’s leading scorer hasn’t skated regularly on that pond or at The Old Reservoir, aka “the rez,” for years, the 18-year-old Boston College freshman dynamo still remembers the spot.

Before Smith became arguably the best player in college hockey on the sport’s top ranked team, and an NHL first round pick, Smith honed his hockey skills on local ponds and in a shooting room in the basement of all of the three different Lexington homes his family lived in. “Where the dreams were being dreamt,” he says.

That secret pond in the Lexington woods is sacred to him. It's where he dreamed his dreams, where he built his future in castles in the sky with every trick shot he sent into a snow bank, every between the legs Kaner spinorama he carved out of bumpy outdoor ice. It's his and he doesn't want just anyone to find it. Robbing it of that hiddenness would strip it of its magic. He needs it to stay his lodestone, to hold and protect the little boy with big dreams who used to skate there.

To me, the secret little pond in the woods in Lexington is where he retreats to when times are toughest on the Sharks. Physically, he's in his isolated corner on the bench scrubbing through footage on the iPad of his foot crossing the blue line a millisecond before the puck. But inside he's returned to the clean, quiet air of the secret pond. He's in control. He's having fun. No one can find him here.

#in his own little corner in his own little room he can be whatever he wants to be #anyway. i'm so serious when I say the secret pond is FUNDAMENTAL to his characterization for me #will smith hockey #san jose sharks #article quote #chara notes #the secret pond #the boston of it all #text post #important lore #anon ask #ask!#i have a vague feeling it may have been mentioned in a broadcast or other interview but not sure #pls send my way if you see ANY secret pond mentions #the secret pond is also the foundation for my winter fae changeling Will au #the problem is that fic concept includes quite a bit more voter than I personally prefer so I've been procrastinating on writing it #the woods are lovely dark and deep #p sure starrynet is the one who found this article in may last year initially so credit to her!#fic ideas

“I do think there’s a moment where she feels bad for Tyler that he’s being betrayed by his family, because she feels betrayed by her family keeping these secrets from her. They have a weird kindred spirit that she’ll never admit but, he’s obviously brought it up. But if she was going to justify it to herself, it’s just like, “'I let him go so he could be the distraction we needed to get to free Pugsley.'”

“There’s a deep connection and an appreciation that they both step outside the lines of what an ordinary person would do. There’s a respect there, and a connection that neither quite understands yet. They’re both sort of confused and surprised by their behavior with each other. They’re not quite sure of the dance of their relationship, and that certainly speaks to what could be in Season 3.”
