The thing that really guts me about the reunion scene on the plantation is that Thomas’ back is turned at first and James still knows, you can see it on his face, he knows its him, He Knows...

Even after all these years, after everything they’ve been through, after all the time and trauma and the new men they’ve both become, James recognizes Thomas from across a field, from behind, he still knows it’s him as if nothing has changed.

“I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world.” (Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles)

@dollfacemay spilled some cheese on the ground, and I swept it up. They thanked me for doing that, and in the space of half a second my impulse arose to say "anything for Wanda". This would have been not only an incredibly deep cut as it is a reference to the 1997 Spawn movie (when Spawn agrees to lead Hell's armies shouting "anything for Wanda!"), but also would have been an even deeper meta cut as a reference to sacer-masoch and the object of his obsession, the archetype of dominatrices, Wanda.

But then I decided that would be too deep, and instead I said "anything for you beyoncé!"
