Чхан Сон не находит знакомых лиц в Нью-Йорке — да и с чего бы там быть мертвецам? И все-таки он отчего-то ждал их.
Это чувство ожидания остается с ним до самой смерти и даже после.

Мне не понравилась последняя сцена финала, без объяснений рушащая все правила загробной жизни и перерождений, так что я решила написать свой собственный вариант встречи Чхан Сона и Ман Воль когда-то много лет спустя :D

Sometimes reading Arthuriana feels like reading Alice in Wonderland.

“Well,” said Alice, “these are a dreadfully strange assortment of objects!”

“They all symbolize different aspects of Our Lord’s martyrdom,” said the Fisher King, casting a line into his teacup.

“Indeed. I am sure everything symbolizes something else, for if everything was only itself I should be very confused. Might I ask what the point of the bleeding lance is?”

Alice regretted asking the question as soon as she had done so, for she saw the pun that would likely be made about the word point. Instead, however, the room erupted in applause and shouts of “The Grail! She has achieved the Grail!”

The next castle she visited, Alice resolved to herself as the inhabitants of this one danced for joy, would be more sensible.

Or I could do this with The Knight of the Cart.

“Which shall you choose?” asked the guardian. “The underwater bridge or the sword bridge?”

“Both sound dreadful,” said Alice. “I think I’ll just float the cart across.”

The guardian sputtered so hard his helmet broke.

“You cannot ride in a cart to rescue a queen!”

“I don’t see why not,” said Alice, growing cross. “It can’t be worse than abducting a queen.”

“Oh, much worse! For to abduct a Queen is wicked but heard of, while to save he on a cart is virtuous and unheard of.”

“Oh, tosh!” said Alice, floating the cart.

“If you cut my head off,” said the Green Knight, “then in a year and a day, I shall cut off yours.”

“Certainly not!” said Alice.  “For if you can survive such a blow, it would be quite unfair to me, and if you cannot, then I will have killed a man over a silly game!”

“Silly games are the most important thing in the world,” said the Green Knight, “for it is after them that we judge honor.”

Alice thought to herself that if this was honor, adults could keep it.

In honor of a thing that keeps popping up in Arthurian novels I read…

“You have nothing to fear,” said the robber knight, “for you are traveling alone. Everyone knows a knight may not attack a maiden alone, but only a maiden traveling with a knightly protector!”

“That can’t possibly be a law,” said Alice. “Camelot is absurd, but not that absurd.”

“It is not a law, but a custom.” The robber knight sounded as if he were lecturing a fool, which Alice felt was very unfair of him. “Customs are far more important than laws, for laws may change, but customs never do.”

Alice didn’t think that was true, but she would not argue the point.

“What about attacking a knight?” she asked. “Can someone attack a lone knight, or only a knight traveling with a maiden?”

“One may attack a knight any time and under any circumstance. That is the meaning of the word ‘knight’- he can be attacked by day or by knight!”

With the understanding that, as a maiden traveling alone, she might attack the knight and he could not return the attack, Alice picked up a handful of rocks from the ground and began to throw them at him. She was not generally an unruly child, but everyone has their limits.

Hazbin Hotel is honestly doing something really cool with the concept of Christianity that I never thought of before, asking that if someone lives for eternity in Heaven or Hell wouldn't they continue to change just like people do when they're alive? If someone was virtuous and good in life, what's to say life in heaven wouldn't go to their head and turn them into an asshole? And likewise, if someone was terrible in life, wouldn't being thrust into a whole new world with new rules give them a chance to improve? What would happen? From my time in church it's just taken for granted that once you get in the designated afterlife that's where you stay for all eternity, but if that's true (as Hazbin Hotel asks) than your entire mortal existence is judged on just a tiny fraction and once you die you can just act however you want in whatever place you end up.

IDK for a show that everyone immediately wrote off as edgy "heaven bad, hell cool" Bible fanfiction it's honestly a really interesting look at the meaning of being human in the context of an immortal afterlife.

ok i've been called a sex freak tranny too i get where you're coming from but like also please be more careful with extremely vague posts about Problematic Kinks

txttletale answered:

no. people’s openness about what two consenting adults can do in private has no bearing on how likely they are to be child abusers or close ranks about child abusers & thinking there is some correlation is a sign that your stance on sexual abuse is mediated more by disgust reaction and aesthetic associations than by structural analysis. there is a pretty hard and obvious line between not condemming consensual sex acts between adults and being a pedophile and thinking that it’s some sort of spectrum or slippery slope there imo speaks poorly to your conceptualization of why SA is a bad thing.

people love to say that X or Y kink Normalizes Abuse, but, like, actually think about communities where sexual abuse is ‘normalized’ in society. is the problem with the catholic church that it’s too pro-kink? is the problem with US professional gymnastics that it’s too pro-kink? is the problem with the amish that they’re too pro-kink? was the problem with the british entertainment industry in the 1970s that it was too pro-kink? is the problem with the prison system that it’s too pro-kink? &c. &c. &c.

sexual abuse doesn’t happen because people are degenerate perverts and everyone is too accepting of that, sexual abuse happens because society is full of institutions that give adults structural power over children and men structural power over women. giving credence to the former, even in the form of thinking you have to be “super careful” about perverts, is a straightforwardly reactionary position.
