I'll Just Leave This Here For Anyone Who Sees "from The River To The Sea" As A Threat

I think part of my disappointment with the ending was that I expected catharsis. The show deliberately opened with covid screenings for Minchae’s performance, and there was a recurring theme about the how the times can take away or alter your dream. I expected them to explore the parallel between covid and the financial crisis differently, or at least to reach a different conclusion at the end. I expected them to say “the times will be hard. they will take things from you and you won’t be able to go back. what you experience might not even make you stronger, it might just hurt. but eventually you will heal and things will be better, even if it isn’t what you expected, even if the happiness you experienced during those hard times was temporary.” But I feel like the show stopped short of that catharsis. Instead we got the 9/11 plotline, which was another instance of the times taking things from the characters, which would be fine if it resolved in a more definite sort of happiness for the main character. Instead, we got a sort of placid tranquility for her, an absence of memory, and some unsatisfying dangling plot points. The show said that the times will take things from you, but we all already know that. I wanted something more

Virgin HOTD: men bad women peace

Chad Dune prophecy: me and my sisters are about to design a bloodline to control the known univers. peace? yeah is an option but i won't take it

also, a friendly reminder, the world we live in now consists of an active genocide.

of warcrimes being posted on twitter by the official account of israeli government.

of people looking at children, women and men being bombed, killed, starved and butchered and saying it is okay because of a single terrorist group, THAT ISRAEL CREATED.

of westerners saying to look away from the slaughter happening in gaza because your mental health is more important than thousands of lives.

of israeli politicians straight up using propaganda from nazi handbooks to dehumanise palestinians, calling them less than human, less than the rest of us, animals.

and what one palestinian man posted on his social media hit me more than anything: “if we actually were animals, people would care.”

“The Pitt”: Jack Abbot’s appreciation post 🔥 original posts: x, x, x, x, x, x, x + other characters: part 1, 2, 3, 5

it’s so much worse. the way ellie tells joel to get up and he tries. the way abby seeps the pointed end of the club into his neck. the way the wlf members don’t even bother knocking ellie out because she is already so emotionally paralyzed by grief she can’t even so much as stand.

but more than anything else it’s crawling to him. all she can muster is crawling with nothing but her arms and cuddling into joel with her whole person. her face buried into the man’s which will forever be the last memory of him. it’s like watching a child seeking the safety of a parent who can’t protect them anymore. this isn’t just the death of a protector. it’s the death of home. joel, to ellie, is safety. safety that she spent the last five years resenting until it was too late. he’s been the one constant in a shattered world. so when he’s dying — or dead — she reverts, not in age but in emotional rawness. she becomes a daughter clinging to a father figure who can’t shield her anymore. and it’s not just fear. it’s complete unmooring. there’s no one left to hold the world up for her. it’s the kind of need that children have when everything feels too big, too loud, too dangerous. she needs to be held. but there’s no one to hold her, so she becomes the one doing the holding, even if he can’t respond. and he’ll never respond.

in one of ellie’s most harrowing moments in life joel was there to cling on to her. in yet another, she clings to him. but he’ll never cling back again.
