Actually Now That I've Rewatched Td1 It's A Bit Funny That Rust's Philosophical Musings Ended Up The

actually now that i've rewatched td1 it's a bit funny that rust's philosophical musings ended up the most quotable because like. rust is wrong. it's kind of the point of the show that he's wrong

like no, time is not a flat circle, that's something that a deeply sad person is telling himself because 1. the big good thing he'd thought he did turned out to be a failure 2. doing 4d mental gymnastics to imagine the world as completely static where nothing ever changes saves him the hurt of hoping (and when he has his revelation at the end it's that the world is a story, which implies a dynamic and a direction)

(and incidentally, hey, this show sure loves them some spirals. wonder if a spiral is a popular schematic for something that incorporates both repetition and linearity, like time or history perhaps)

like....... td1 is a story about men who lie! to others and themselves! marty has his whole masculinity shtick, and whenever that doesn't do any good he doubles down and goes to argue that it's someone else's fault or Just How Things Are so he doesn't have to face sad truths about himself. rust's philosophy is, at least to some extent, an attempt to reason his way out of grieving ("my daughter dying was good for her And me actually!"), out of hoping and being heartbroken ("romance? that's not even supposed to work, everyone is just delusional"), out of internalising the horrible things he's seen/done/been through ("those murder victims were glad to die actually, everyone is a pre-programmed puppet anyway actually")

it's a story about men who are absolutely convinced that sincerity will ruin them, and construct elaborate lies to defend against it, and in the end they both break down and reach out (marty), confess (rust), connect and (begin to) heal through it because their previous belief was wrong and hurtful!

"Are you accidental-Temporary? Does the moon sink in your skin; are the daffodils talking again?"
The background is the cropped image of a woman's jawline and neck. She has long, brown hair. 
The shoulder of a woman standing beside her is visible. 
Two sentences in a handwriting font are written across the image. "Always an angel, never a god. // I don't know why I am the way I am."
"[Chorus] / Lover, hunter, friend and enemy / You will always be every one of these"
"SORRY FOR SMELLING LIKE CIGARETTE SMOKE AND STARING AT YOU ALL THE TIME AND LAUGHING TOO LOUD AND HAVING A SHAKY VOICE WHEN YOU TELL ME BEAUTIFUL WORDS THAT WEREN'T MADE FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME"
"I dreamt you were down by the water / You looked so proud and happy to see me"
"You are going to break your promise. I understand. And I hold my hands over the ears of my heart, so that I will not hate you."
Two torn out pages lay side by side on a black background. 
The first page has writing that reads, "i love you / (i want to save you)"
The second page reads, "i love you / (i know you can be saved)"
"how do i start a conversation with you / how do i say hello / how can i tell you / you're lovely / and warm / and that i'd like to spend / awhile with you / how do i get to know you"
"I don't smoke / Except for when I'm missing you / To remember your mouth, how it / Tasted true"

KNOW IT'S FOR THE BETTER // ON THE LONELINESS AFTER ABANDONMENT

sometimes i think about “this place wants us dead” and how it’s such an obvious example of foreshadowing, but it still ends up subverted in some way. like really think about it. the place doesn’t kill them, not really. they bring the diseases and the sickness with them. the lead is already in the cans before they leave. the food was already rotten. even tuunbaq is a man-made creature, not a bear like they originally think. it’s just. it’s not the place not really. the tragedy is that they were already doomed. they were doomed before stepping on their ships and they were doomed before they even reached the arctic and they were doomed before they even got stuck in the ice. she’s been dead since the beginning etc etc. i also think it’s so interesting that it’s also the remnants of colonialism that kills them. obviously james’ bullet wound is the obvious one but also the act of hubris in of itself. the fact that they think that they can last with their supplies. maybe the land does want them dead. maybe they were already dead. idk

there was nothing but love waiting for rust in the dark. he thought it'd be cold and apathetic, he thought time was a flat circle and he'd have to grieve his daughter again and again. but he pulled the knife out of his stomach and laid there to die. and in the darkness, there was nothing but love. and then he woke up.
