Illa est omnia. Ego tantum Nero sum.
Catullus 85, or: "I Am Emotionally Crucified and It’s Your Fault”
Odi et amo. quare id faciam fortasse requiris. nescio, sed fieri sentio et excrucior. — Catullus 85
Translation, if you want it pretty:
I hate and I love. Perhaps you’re asking why I do this. I don’t know. But I feel it happening, and I am being torn apart.
Translation, if you want it real:
I hate you. I love you. Why am I like this? You might be wondering. I don’t know. But it’s happening and I am being emotionally crucified about it.
🚨 Excrucior literally means "I am being crucified." Not "I'm sad," not "I'm heartbroken", nope. Crucified. Catullus didn't just feel things, he staged an internal melodrama and made it Latin literature. He was writing tiny, perfect poems like they were breakup arias from a doomed opera no one else had tickets to.
The duality of “I hate and I love” is not a contradiction, it’s the thesis statement of 90% of emotionally complex texting behavior. Catullus invented the situationship. He is the blueprint.

Mihal Brezis and Oded Binnun on Dead Language
Lars Eidinger, playing a hotel guest with the sang froid of a werewolf, at first not interested in whatever Aya is offering, functions as uncanny catalyst to desires as the plot unfolds in unpredictable ways, better left to enjoy without prior knowledge.
AKT: ... And then Lars Eidinger is added to it. He is fantastic, as always, and very mysterious there in his chair. How did Lars Eidinger enter the picture? And in this particular role?
OB: Right! Lars was maybe the biggest surprise of the film for us, because we had this very strange scene which we didn't really know how to approach in terms of casting. It was very hard to picture who would be able to portray this enigmatic person. And somehow Lars was suggested to us by a casting agent from London. We didn't know him beforehand and soon enough when we saw clips of him we understood that we have something extraordinary.
MB: We were just magnetised, you know.
OB: And then, when we met him, he was so generous and kind. He was telling us that he didn't really understand why his agent was sending him a script where he only has one scene to make, and he has to travel a long way to do it just for one shooting day. But he told us that he read the script, which he loved, and it was for him like somebody would tell him, don't do the whole Hamlet, just do the to-be-or-not-to-be part! He was telling us that this one scene for him encapsulates the whole story. And it also was a revelation to us. Him talking about the scene opened for us things that we didn't find in it. The fact that he talked about it like a great love scene.
AKT: He is perfect in its ambivalence.

Lingua gesticulatoria est lingua mortua, nemo umquam eam audit.
Sign language is a dead language , no one ever hears it.

we should bring back latin i think
I have discovered a travesty of the highest order.
We all know and love Lost Time and Badger Cereal, where Danny gets some gosh damn help.
But what about Mr. Lancer??? Where's the name for that platonic mentor/mentee relationship??? I cannot find one???
I hereby declare it to be called...
