Perfect Analogy: Social Housing
Social housing is like AI. At first glance, all can seem to be correct and as expected. At second glance, something is not quite right. Something else is not quite right. Something is just "off". Nothing is as it should be. This is the reality. This is AI. This is social housing.
More thoughts likely to follow, but the main spoiler-free one that’s been churning in my head since I finished Queen Charlotte is that the show is fundamentally about the question of whether it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
Last winter solstice I got myself a small vial. One that held quartz, lavender from my wedding, and an intention.
To live as my most authentic self in 2025.
I think I did it. I started a server for others who enjoy things like me. I got to meet so many of my mutuals.
I’m proud of who I am.
POV: your medication isn’t working, you don’t have the capacity or interest to learn anything new nor can you retain the information, you live in a bubble of your own making, your depression has robbed you of your will to try, you talk to one person outside of your family, you have let the single handful of people you’ve managed to retain “friendships” with die, you despise yourself for being a shell of a person with zero creative output, you have nothing to offer in the ways of comfort, joy, conversation, interests, fun. you’re past your “prime”, you’ve never tried dating because of said illness, your attempts at self improvement provide no relief, you daydream about dying in the most pathetic fashion, your heart is rotten and it’s seeping from within
Rewatching 506 bc I’m obsessed and the parallels between the injured guard in the ambo and buck are so damn real. I’ve touched on this before but I noticed more deets that got me in my feelings about it.
They mention the number 6 at least twice in 506 which connects to Heartbreaker, ep6 of the series, where buck chokes during his date with abby and she has to give him an emergency tracheotomy.
When they first find the injured guard they actually say that he has a crushed trach. They also make mention multiple times in 506 that the guard “can barely breathe” and is “fighting for every breath” and is “choking on his own blood”. I can’t stop flashing back to buck frozen solid in the street when eddie got shot and likely not breathing much bc of the shock and terror. It’s fascinating too that in 106 when he choked and stopped breathing it was actually bc he was so distracted by his romantic/sexual attraction to abby and was quite nervous about starting something serious with her.
It can’t be a coincidence that buck had romance-induced breathlessness and needed a freakin’ tracheotomy in 106 and now this guard who feels parallel to buck also has an injured trach in 506 and can’t breathe. Of course in 506 all the breathlessness is not overtly romantic but it feels like it’s a factor, in addition to all the shared trauma ofc. This whole season is about matters of the heart so far so these loose but meaningful links don’t seem too far fetched to me.
Once they are on their way to the hospital with the injured guard, mitchell tells buck and eddie to “make sure the guard doesn’t die in here” or something to that affect. With buck parallel the guard, eddie parallel mitchell, and the ambo as a symbol of what’s going on in eddie’s own mind and heart, it all really just solidifies my sense that eddie is trying to get buck out of his mind/ heart bc he doesn’t want to drag buck down with him or otherwise get buck tangled up in his psychological and emotional mess a la the 503 break up. It’s eddie’s mess now and his brand of misery runs from company. Hence the pointed distance between them.
I legit think the show is drawing tons of connections and parallels across past and present eps for Buddie Reasons. I really believe they’re Doing A Thing and I’m happy to squint real hard to find every precious crumb lol.
A piece of Cramp Twins fan art I did from around 2011-12, in which I would depict Wayne and Lucien dressed as the members of French electronic group Daft Punk. While this was from my student years, and I’m moving pass these fan pieces from that time, there’s a reason why I’ve gotten around to posting this on here.
Sad news, oh this is nothing to do with these uncertain times. I've just learnt that Daft Punk have broken up. This is probably a shock to you as it is to me. When it came to electronic dance music, they were my favourite duo in that field, without any doubt. Their blend of sampled and original beats are what showed how you can be transformative with any song and add your own creative spin on it. My love for house music might be attributed to them and their music was the soundtrack to many people's youth. Despite their futuristic appearance, their music was able to speak to different generations. But what I also appreciated is that they wanted to recognised for their sound and not how they looked liked.
I learnt not to be upset that something was over, but to be glad it happened and lasted for so long. I'm uncertain of what the future of house music holds, but I know that Thomas and Guy were masters of their craft. I'm eager to know how these two are going to take their separate ways but I say this without exaggeration that I'll miss them more than any duo in my life.
Made in 2011-12
Done in Ink, Felt Tip and Coloured Pencil
Cramp Twins belongs to its respected owners and creators.
Just to be clear because the current dynamic is fucked I do not ship current adora and catra but I desperately want a redemption arc for catra and if after that the two of them end up in a good place I would love it
Like I ship catradora but only if there’s like 3+ seasons of character development before it happens
Just finished The Monstrumologist series and what a ride. I honestly don’t know how I feel about Will Henry anymore. I think I pity Warthrop, which I hadn’t anticipated at the beginning of this journey. I really enjoyed this series as an exploration of the darkness in mens’ hearts. It captured the era really well, too. I just wish there was more!
