He’s more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same. [...] Nelly, I am Heathcliff! He’s always, always in my mind: not as a pleasure, any more than I am a pleasure to myself, but as my own being.

Emily Bronte, Wuthering Heights

I am selfish. I am cruel. My mate cannot be less than I. I will have you in my hoard, Marya Morevna, my black mirror.

Tamer, Beautiful Crime

Last night I dreamt about you. What happened in detail I can hardly remember, all I know is that we kept merging into one another. I was you, you were me. Finally somehow you caught fire.

We love shadows of our hidden selves in others.

crucial elements of my vision for a locked tomb animated series:

  • First season starts with Gideon falling to her death—freeze frame, Gideon voiceover: “Yep, that’s me. You’re probably wondering how I got into this fucking mess.”
  • We rewind all the way to Gideon choking Harrow out as children. Gideon says “Well, now that’s just too far.” The running joke of the season is that this memory REALLY wants to play out, but Gideon refuses to get into it. That way, we get a lot of tension building up to the full scene and, more importantly, the imagery of the blood in Harrow’s nails really sticks with the audience.
  • Regular jumps between the present day and flashbacks so that they’re baked into the format and the river scenes in HtN don’t feel out of place.
  • Gideon pauses scenes literally all the time for asides and narration, a la The Emperor’s New Groove. (I feel her voice is crucial to the story and must be preserved as much as possible in a visual adaptation. The goofiness inherent to this device is also, in my opinion, completely necessary.)
  • When we finally get to the season finale, and Gideon dies, she KEEPS cutting in for asides, except now she’s talking directly to Harrow, who is responding, and it’s not really funny anymore.

it makes me laugh when I go on twitter or tiktok and see people complaining that alicent and rhaenyra were the only two posters to be released first because it’s just like….people still don’t want to acknowledge that this is THEIR story at the end of the day. everything in this plot revolves around these two women and their relationship with each other. everyone is simply a side player to their show

i mean how hard do they have to hammer this into people's heads like you can't even call it subtext anymore this show is straight up about these two and their relationship with each other. everything and everyone else is just a side player to their chess game

The totally non-misogynistic brain trust: Why are you throwing toddlers into bonfires like that one gif from Twilight?

ID: two versions of an image of Jon Sims staring at the viewer with wide eyes and his glasses removed. the first is shaded and lined, whereas the second is on a black background with only a sketch with all of his facial features removed but his eyes, with an additional one on his forehead. both versions speak the one speech bubble "WHENEVER YOU'RE READY." END ID
