At the end of Disco Elysium if you try to recruit Kim to come work with you at the 41st he initially misunderstands the question and blows you off. Did you know that if you back down at that point Jean will cut in and explain your intent for you?

However much Harry has changed since destroying his memory Jean still understands him. And however angry Jean is with him he still immediately steps in to make sure Harry isn't misunderstood.

they're the same picture

Most of you know already that I use a modded Spotify premium apk to use Spotify with full features and no ads on my phone completely free. If you have an android and feel the urge to delete Spotify bc of Joe Rogan but still wanna have access to all your favorite music consider stealing their services instead

So one thing I've been thinking a lot recently, regarding His Dark Materials, is the way Lyra and Will's last kiss, the one with the doorway between worlds, parallels Marisa and Asriel's one in Northern Lights, in the sense that they are the complete opposite of one another.

Aside from the fact that they both happen in front of a portal, and that it is heartbreaking because neither of them would pass together thought it, think of this :

The odds have always been against Marisa and Asriel's relationship. First because she was married, and then the whole scandal and the shame that came after, and the hate and all that. There was not one time when the odds were on their side. Meanwhile, Will and Lyra's romance was written in the stars. They were tied together by fate, and so there was never any chance that they wouldn't be together.

And then comes the point where they are both standing in front of those gates, together, and suddenly there is nothing that's keeping Marisa and Asriel from being together. They have managed to get there on their own - now, they have the chance to continue together. Will and Lyra, on the other hand, are standing there for the sole purpose of the fact that they can't, after all, be together, even thought it was written in the stars and it was their destiny.

Marisa refused to go with Asriel because she doesn't dare to, or because she wants to find Lyra, according to either the book or the TV show. Asriel doesn't protest to that because he has a war to wage. They let each other go and missed the only chance they had at a fresh start because they loved other things more, because they would not put each other first.

However, Will and Lyra didn't want to join one another because their lives would be shorter, and their death would pain the one who survived, were they to live in the same world. They accepted that they couldn't be together, and let each other go, because there was no one else they loved more.

I've still got Frankenstein on the brain and one theme I keep on thinking about is the one of appearances and beauty. It feels like Shelley's novel takes a mirror to victorian beauty standards.

As I understand it, victorians believed beauty was tied to virtue and goodness and good breeding. Ugliness was believed to be a sign of wickedness and poverty. I think the best example of this is Elizabeth. Victor's parents notice she's prettier than the other poor children they see and turns out she's the only surviving member of a wealthy family and they adopt her. While its a kind action, they never help the other poor children, but the novel doesn't really criticise them for this.

The creature, due to his appearance is attacked and rejected by society, despite him being kind and intelligent. He becomes cruel, scheming, and violent because of his treatment by society at large. The only person who is kind to him is the old blind man who cannot see what he looks like. Like I feel there is at least this criticism of how people are shaped by their circumstances. That someone who is treated as a monster will become one, that the prejudices of victorian society are what lead to thr actions of the creature who has been brought into a world which as no sympathy for him.

Idk I just really like how the novel plays with ideas of moral complexity and how the way we are perceived affects the way we are treated.
