spirited away, dir. hayao miyazaki // metamorphoses: book x, ovid trans. anthony kline // orpheus and eurydice, edward john poynter

[ID:

1. Haku and Chihiro running down the path while holding hands at the end of Spirited Away.

2. “HAKU: But I can’t go any farther. Just go back the way you came, you’ll be fine. But you have to promise not to look back, not until you’ve passed through the tunnel.

CHIHIRO: What about you? What’ll you do?

HAKU: Don’t worry, I’ll go back and have a talk with Yubaba. I’ll tell her I’m going to quit being her apprentice. I’m fine, I got my name back.

CHIHIRO: Will we meet again sometime?

HAKU: Sure we will.

CHIHIRO: Promise?

HAKU: Promise.

Haku points forward.

HAKU (CONT’D): Now go, and don’t look back.”

3. The stone tunnel in the last shot of Spirited Away, which is overgrown with green foliage and framed by lush trees. The stone figure is visible in front of the entrance.

4. “She was among the recent ghosts, and walked haltingly from her wound. The poet of Rhodope received her, and, at the same time, accepted this condition, that he must not turn his eyes behind him, until he emerged from the vale of Avernus, or the gift would be null and void. / They took the upward path, through the still silence, steep and dark, shadowy with dense fog, drawing near to the threshold of the upper world. Afraid she was no longer there, and eager to see her, the lover turned his eyes.”

5. Painting of Eurydice walking behind Orpheus on rugged terrain, with both of Eurydice’s hands holding on to his right arm. Orpheus holds a lyre and wears a red tunic and long red cape. Eurydice wears a long white dress and a green robe that extends behind her.

How to defuse a bomb: OT3 Edition

You know what I love about this scene, besides everything? It perfectly illustrates how their relationship works.

Eliot is the stability; the steady, grounding presence; he’s loyal; he makes things safe. He provides a foundation Hardison and Parker can fall back on without fear.

Hardison is the key; without him it doesn’t work; he’s the one who knows what’s needed of him and plants himself with unwavering trust and patience. Without him, Parker and Eliot can only go so far. Hardison is the one who makes the impossible possible.

Parker is the risk-taker; she needs Hardison and Eliot to guide her and support her but she’s the one they follow. When Parker sees a problem, she tackles it, even if the solution seems strange or scary to others. If she believes in it, she makes it work; “for better or worse”.

@pale-silver-comb I realize that I’m kind of being redundant in adding this, but I have to copy-paste this thing I wrote elsewhere about this exact scene:

“It’s the essence of their relationship given physical expression. If you had to come up with some sort of interpretive dance to depict the nature of the OT3, this would be it. They’re all perfectly balanced, mutually supporting and protecting each other. Take any of them away and this move doesn’t work. Eliot’s the sturdy foundation, there to provide support wherever it’s needed. Hardison needs his moment to freak out (fair), but then he’s there, strong and steady and so in awe of these people he loves, prepared to give them whatever they need to accomplish whatever crazy thing they decide to do. And Parker defies gravity, defies expectations, reaches out to do the impossible because she’s just that good and she knows her boys won’t ever, ever drop her. But also, this is about the most unconventional way to disarm a mine you could possibly imagine. It is so ridiculously extra, and it works for them. I cannot think of a better visual metaphor for their relationship.”

Because can I just say how much I love that it looks like we’re paraphrasing each other here? Like we were both given an essay question saying, “Explain the significance of this scene as a metaphor for the relationship between Parker, Hardison, and Eliot.”

This is why I’ve fallen headfirst into this fandom – the show is so deliberately constructed that it’s practically begging the audience to analyze all the little character moments, and the fans are so thoughtful and enthusiastic in doing so.

Also: if he touches the woman who works in the copy center, but not the woman who’s a regional director, it’s not a case of “he just can’t help himself.”

He can; he’s just decided who’s an acceptable target.

^^^That right there. They definitely pick and choose their targets based on how vulnerable they assume they are.

rick riordan really went there with the original percy jackson series.. he wrote a story about a kid with adhd living in an abusive, low income household who realizes that the generation before him created a world that he and the rest of his generation could not possibly thrive in and then refused to acknowledge that the society they crafted was detrimental to their children,, percy must make the decision to demand change in the end;

meanwhile his antagonist is a blond haired blue eyed kid from one of the top 20 richest towns in the united states who should have had it all but was denied it, causing him to come to the same realization years before percy ever does, but he believes the answer to their problems is to look to the past, to the traditions and methods of the Good Old Days without recognizing that the corruption and depravity of that era will only continue the cycle if they are implemented in the present day – luke believes the world needs to return to its former glory whereas percy realizes that the system will always be corrupt if they don’t invest in an entirely new way to support the younger generation and basically what im saying is rick riordan has been stoking the revolution in us since middle school

It’s fun how quarantine is introducing a lot of people to the concept that the entire social structure only holds up at any given point because of how many people are collectively lying in the same direction.

Days of the week? Lies.

You have to eat particular kinds of food at particular times of the day? Lies.

Checkout workers and shelfstackers do unimportant jobs and deserve a low rate of pay? Lies.

It’s impossible to change the status quo in a week? Lies.

Capitalism is a fair and sustainable system? Damned lies.
