Yall se the vision right?
hopelessly devoted to you
not normal about orpheus and eurydice. you loved someone so much it opened the stones of the underworld. so much that death had to listen. so much that everything stopped for your love. so much that you turned around. so much that even when you did wrong. she forgave you.
just for the record I cried at the end of 'i saw the tv glow' but I also cried at the part where all Maddy's labels on the tapes are showing up on the screen and it's talking about Maddy taping the episodes for Owen. because that's such a specific type of love and it made me weep.
So they killed Cassandra first 'cause she feared the worst and tried to tell the town//So they set my life in flames, I regret to say…do you believe me now?
i saw the tv glow is a beautiful tragic queer film about how repressiing yourself will destroy you from the inside out. that said the in-universe tara/isabel the pink opaque femslash fandom probably went so hard
5.) S1E04 Who You Calling Dummy? - I'd put this higher if it wasn't so similar to the Buffy episode "The Puppet Show." Weirdly enough, this came first. Still, Buffy basically does everything this episode did better! And Tara does not come off well with the way she treats the wooden loser!
4.) S410 Isabel's Magic Dress - Completely shifted the tone of the season halfway through. It got shockingly raw--I'll never forget the way Tara chews out Isabel on the psychic plane, with that dress blowing in the wind, lightning flying everywhere. Some of the best performances in teh show.
3.) S5E02 Melancholy Youth - For most of the series, Mr. Melancholy is untouchable and incomprehensible. Near the end of the original run, we finally get answers about him and his throne. The tone is set for the nightmare that is the last season. You loved this one, Isabel.
2.) S1E05 The Curse of Mr. Sprinkly - Stone cold creamery classic. It's like the archetype of a standard classic TPO episode. Mr. Sprinkly still gives me nightmares sometimes!
1.) S602 Escape from the Midnight Realm (Part 2) - Isabel. Isabel. Isabel. Isabel. Can you hear me, Isabel? I know you're still there. I can feel you. It's going to be okay. Listen to my voice. Oh, my dear Isabel.
Me to all my friends
just having the stark realization that the failed act of rebellion was 24 years before katniss volunteered. that begs the question of whether or not there were more attempts. did johanna suffer the same fate as haymitch? did the capitol lie and say she was hidden the entirety of her games because she was given a similar (failed) assignment from beetee? did they have to erase countless hours of footage? edit things to make it seem like she was never where she actually was, simply hidden away from the chaos? how many mockingjay figures did they cycle through before landing on katniss? how many did they cycle through before the revolution actually began?
Doomed yuri, I hope you know you'll always have a place in my heart
the thing is that i saw the tv glow i am in the eighth grade sending grown men grainy photos of my rib cage my bedroom has no doors so i can never close ‘em i paint the ceiling black so i don’t notice when my eyes are open and also when you really think about it i think i was born bored i think i was born blue i think i was born wanting more i think i was born already missing you but my heart is like a claw machine its only function is to reach it can’t hold on to anything no i can’t hold on to anything
