the phrase "a matter unrelated to the revolution" pops into my head so often

#why did you break mutuals w that person? a matter completely unrelated to the revolution

sorry i just realized this post is like ungoogle-ably niche. this is the phrase robespierre used in his privates notes of dirt on his political rival danton when he said danton accused their mutual friend and colleague camille desmoulins of (paraphrased) "a private and shameful vice, but a matter completely unrelated to the revolution" (the point being danton is an asshole bc he was talking shit about his good friend behind his back). seared into my brain of course bc this is the single shred of primary evidence from which hilary mantel wove her beautiful webs of bisexual psychosexual depravity

What’s mad about the riots yesterday is everyone talking about like ‘oh why would it have just been protestants that went crazy and did a pogrom? so strange I wonder why this is’ as though the people in question haven’t spent the entire summer every year since the 1800s burning effigies. trying so hard to not be sectarian it’s eating a hole in your brain

Something crucial about the north of ireland today imo is that in the interests of peace or whatever you have to pretend that loyalism is just a subculture in the same way that, like, gaeilgeoirí are a subculture, and that yearly demonstrations of hatred and racism and singing about being up to your knees in fenian blood are just ‘their culture’ and you have to respect it. and then predictably the people whose culture is burning minorities out of their houses burn minorities out of their houses, and the newspapers pontificate a little as to why, and then we all go back to being told we have to hold hands with the people who did it or the troubles 2 will start TOMORROW and you can’t complain or you’re being sectarian and living in the past

one time we were listening to fleetwood mac in the car and my sister who was probably 4 at the time asked, without being prompted, “can girls marry girls?” and THAT is the power of stevie nicks

ep 1 of heated rivalry when the announcers narrate that canada struggled to find their identity (shane not knowing he's gay) and they couldn't get past russia's defense (ilya's walls) but "ilya rozanov kept getting past theirs"

Starting a new religion. I'm not sure about the belief system yet, but the temples need to include obstacle courses of dangerous death traps that need to keep working for at least 2,000 years.

talking about film stuff alone to the exclusion of book elements for a minute: it really reads to me that the thing actually getting to stratt in her last scene with grace isn't that she has to ask him to die for the cause, we've already established that it's not difficult for her to do that under these circumstances, it's that she has to do it against his will. her voice doesn't start going thin like she's holding back tears until she starts to explain that that they're going to force him despite his refusal, and three times over she asks him to stop fighting back, escalating to violence against him is the specific part she doesn't like. if he stays then he dies in thirty years with everyone else, if he goes then he dies in thirteen years as part of saving everyone else and also probably goes out less painfully, the death is broadly the same either way so it's not part of her arithmetic, but she didn't want to have to make his last memories on earth so distressing.

I saw a post around somewhere that I wish I'd saved about how it might have been less painful for grace if stratt had just told him from the get-go that he didn't have a choice about getting on the ship, and I think I agree; subjectively I feel like having a "no" ignored rather just being ordered into something in the first place is a worse experience. stratt not being upfront about it contradicts her usual "you now live on a boat" modus operandi, it prolongs the process and adds extra steps when they're already running on so little time, and I think it might be the one genuinely selfish decision she makes, letting grace believe he has a say in the matter for those three hours gives him time to agonize about it in his Dish Antenna Array Of Despair and opens him up to really feel that betrayal and removal of autonomy as hard as possible. and, let's be real, she goes into that meeting 99% sure he's not going to agree, that's why she has a doctor on standby and guards ready to give chase, but up until his last "you just can’t talk me into it" she's hoping that maybe he'll just say yes and she won't have to do something awful to someone she likes. keeping the opportunity open for the easy way instead of immediately taking the hard way also leaves the door open for the significantly more likely hardest way.
