in much more interesting news, today at work I got to explore an abandoned 500-year-old castle, seized by the state because of the owner’s massive tax evasion
we spent an hour and half going all over the grounds, I’d never felt so #urbex
just want to point out that we found this door at one point
WHY
seeing this door makes me feel like i have never truly contemplated the possibilities of doors as a concept, as though a new understanding of what it means to be a door has been forced upon me
so i accidentally got back into the magnus archives (as you may have noticed if you follow me on ao3) because it turns out its a great thing to listen to at work when your job doesnt involve talking to anyone but your coworkers. anyways have some jontent + my blue for the eye agenda
“go to hell.” basic. weaksauce shit. “i hope that character you really like gets an uber-popular yaoi ship and you have to watch in real time as they get sanded down into a toothless, barely-recognizable version of themself that’s become little more than a vessel for bland tropes and OOC fluff, and that’s just the permanent fandom consensus view of that character now.” now THAT’S a threat. that cuts right to the bone. that’s real. that’s happening to me as we speak.
a functionally immortal body hopping gay man who is the most powerful avatar of a voyeur god that expresses itself in surveillance, invasions of privacy, paranoid delusions/illusions etc. could have a truly incredible body of thoughtful fanwork and meta analysis about how the reality of living in a deeply homophobic society as a target of its oppression and ire could influence that and instead we have a gajillion “gay men i would love to hatecrime” memes
peter/elias and jonah/multiple lukas men throughout the generations is an incredible concept i have blogged at length about how the eye and the lonely are seemingly opposite patrons but are actually dependent on one another to function and how much elias and peter’s individual devotions to their masters stand at odds to their devotion to one another and how their professional relationship grates against their romantic one and then the broader lonelyeyes landscape is somehow exclusively “elias showed hole for institute funding lmao that is so funny and also demeaning because i think sex workers and gay men are two laughable categories of non-human person i am a funny and progressive fandom blogger btw”
