The Queen and The King are both beautifully doomed by narrative
Give yourself a big hug for making it through this year.
This hit me right on my feelings
cat: hey you gonna eat that?
human: uh, that’s a rat. They’ve been showing up ever since we started harvesting grain. We don’t eat them, they eat our food.
cat: free game then. Cool.
human: be my guest.
cat: hey is this spot free? It looks warm and I need a place to have my litter.
humans: this is my house. Feel free, I guess, just don’t get stepped on.
cat: hey can you watch my kittens for me? I need to hunt and I don’t want predators finding them.
human: holy shit these buggers are cute. Nothing will happen to them.
cat: I am going to climb on your lap now and you are going to love me.
human: I’m ok with this.
ive been reading a book that basically explains how so-called “brain differences” between the genders is the result of gendered socialization and not the cause of it. i honestly expected the book to be very cis-centric but its actually the opposite, the author stresses that testimony from trans ppl is actually indispensable because we’ve, in a sense, “lived both experiences”
more cis feminists should have this mindset
Remember this gif?
Those letters form this:
“U n STILL i DONT c KNOW o HIS n REAL i NAME c DO o U ?”
The extra letters form:
“NICO NICO”
Okay, to me he’s NOT Blurryface. To me Blurryface is “gone”. (Read the whole thing; I came up with something and it will explain why this is not valid anymore)
In Nico and the Niners, Tyler sings this:
“I’m flying from a fire, from Nico and the Niners.”
So, we can assume that Nico is bad. But now, this guy in red is literally trying to keep Tyler inside DEMA, he doesn’t want him to escape, so, he’s also .. bad.
The Niners, maybe they’re the Bishops
“When Bishops come together they will know that, Dema don’t control us.”
They’re 9 Bishops in the pic. The rest is more like an audience?. It looks like a kind of ritual or something.
Nico is the guy in red.
The Niners are the Bishops.
Nico and the Niners are the ones who control DEMA.
They’re trying to stop Tyler’s escape.
“And now I just sit in silence”
“Sometimes quiet is violent”
“There’s no hiding for me
"I’m forced to deal with what I feel. There is no distraction to mask what is real”
Like:
He’s in silence and when he’s in silence he starts to think and all of that thinking led him in a place in his mind that now he can’t escape:
Again, all of this is just my point of view and my theory
EDIT:
This where I retracted myself on the whole “Blurryface is gone” thing
Okay, I just thought of something… What kind of name is Blurryface? Like, seriously, who is named Blurryface.. I know we can just say that this represents Tyler’s insecurities so it doesn’t have to have a proper name..
but: “U still don’t know his real name do u”.
Edit 2:
My mom came up with something!!!
She asked me: What is the Niners? What represent?
And then she said:
Nine insecurities?
It makes sense:
There are 9 circles in Blurryface, nine insecurities.. (?
Maybe that’s why the Bishops might be good after all.. (as someone pointed out)

As somebody who has struggled with mental health all of their life and still does, Jinx's romance with Ekko means the world to me.
I'm sick and tired of people considering mentally ill people just "not interested in love" or, on the other side, "not healthy enough to be loved". Which is utterly stupid. Ekko falling for Powder but clearly showing signs of wanting to learn more about Jinx and on his way to love her too, realizing that her damaged past and issues do change her but she's still his girl. It's brilliant writing.
He can't be a savior to her, because there's nothing to save. There's nothing to fix. The whole message Jayce gives with "there's beauty in imperfections" goes hand in hand with Powder's "sometimes taking a leap forward means leaving a few things behind". Ekko goes from wanting to save her to wanting to see more of her and leaving Powder behind to know about Jinx. With Ekko loving Jinx nevertheless it shows that mentally ill people can be loved. And with Powder reciprocating and Jinx making amends with Ekko (with the romantic context behind already seen) it's breaking the whole stereotype of her being this "insane maniac with no remorse and unable to show love".
So I guess what I want to say is that their relationship would've worked in another universe, but I want to believe it could've worked in this one (with time), too.
it will never catch its tail as it is a gif. thats so sad
