silliest girl award

thinking about the parallels between tlt and psme again. the scientists on the moon base are literally the pre-resurrection gang. even their uniforms look similar to the lyctoral robes. john gaius is literally a 7yo japanese schoolboy with psychic powers.

#I simply think the fandom reaction would be hysterical if he like. went gentle into that good night or whatever

TRUE but also. It seems to me that John Lockedtomb is the very picture of "I will not go gentle into this good night I am going to be a huge bitch about it"

(Also of "Rage against the dying of the light". but that's less funny)

ALSO ALSO I'm not sure if by "go gentle into this good night" you meant "die" or "go away to live a quiet life on whatever planet is an option" but I can't help but be reminded of the Rocky Horror production I saw years ago where I swear Riffraff gunned down Frank while he was still singing "I'm going home". (sth sth Ulysses the First with a steel chair)

OK YEAH, EJG isn't "going gentle" anywhere. I definitely meant it as, I don't think he's in for any kind of Righteous Retribution from any of the 'Good' characters, or anything as clear-cut as that.

I think there's a very very solid chance John will die by the end of the series, but I don't think it will be framed as just or positive or anything along those lines. This is the guy who became a wrathful god in the pursuit of vengeance! If there's any moral lesson we get in TLT, is that revenge gets you nowhere. Sorry @ all the people thinking John is gonna get his just desserts and the world will be better off for it: it's not that kind of story.

TO ME, John will probably die, but it'd be HIS choice, and framed as something that's at least somewhat positive for him; I think he badly wants to stop existing and just let go. Or maybe he'll get something extremely fucking weird, like he becomes the moon to Alecto's earth or whatever. I think he and Alecto are too deeply intrinsically intertwined to be separated, but they won't exist in their current forms by the end of the series.

However. There's that one interview Taz gave where she said that TLT is full of horrible queers and some of them walk away scott-free even after doing horrible things. And I so so want that badly to be about John. I don't even think it'd be HIS ideal happy ending, that man longs for death. But it'd be MY ideal happy ending just because the fandom reaction in certain circles would fuel me for years

#yup #‘doing things out of revenge does not feel good actually’ is a consistent theme in the series #still putting my money on john and alecto going back to earth and becoming its soul or smth like that #but ‘god’s the bad guy let’s defeat him’ it aint #tlt

raise a glass to the posts you love that end up deleted. to the fanart and fanfics you lose track of and can't locate. to the blogs you used to look through that ended up unexpectedly disappearing. to the things you didn't archive because you always assumed they'd be there.
