Hi, I'm alive. I'm tired and my right eye hurts (fucking contacts, I think it's all their fault) and Uni is pissing me off. Other than this, I'm fine. Really. Hope you're all good!
Anyway, new VM ep like...tomorrow? I'm so excited! Even if I hate the opening scene :/ But hey,
You know that wet guys *cough*Jess*cough* are the best guys :)
Ok, THE TONGUE THING HE DOES right here kills me. Don't tell me it's not hot.
Aw, he's got such a pretty smile! (it's a shame the things he hides behind - go d/l "JUDE - I KNOW")
Another aw, that's pretty. But yeah, I hate his father.
And you know what, he needs love! Why don't you put "Cassidy Casablancas" in your interests, huh? :D
Also, look, I'm obsessed:
So, I made a Beave mix. I know that we saw like 5 scenes with him so far but I have thought about his character a lot during this past week and this is how I see him, how I see his personality. I don't say I'm madly in love with the character but I do find him kind of great and I'm really glad that they decided to develop his character a bit.
Also, about the songs. Don't ask me where I found them and why I chose those particular songs because I'm not entirely sure...and yes, I know that not every part of those lyrics fit Beaver but I actually see a lot of angst here, a lot of potential and unspoken feelings. We all know that he's so much more than "that geek guy who is always around".
Anyway, the mix:
--
1.
Aqualung - Halfway To The Bottom "Is it wiser never to speak / Than to raise your voice / And never be heard / Halfway to the bottom / Instantly forgotten "
Beave chooses not to say what he really thinks and how he really feels, he clings to people who don't really think of him as someone important...just to feel (and make himself believe) that he has someone who cares.
2.
Thievery Corporation - Until The Morning "I keep on fear, keep on loathing / Nothing brings it on I keep on falling / Decide what it is I can not find"
I think that Cassidy is lost in everything that surrounds him, he doesn't have a single person who gets him and who accepts him just the way he really is. His father ignores him, his brother doesn't really care if he is around. It's normal that sometimes he asks himself if its his fault, he's scared that it is and he doesn't know what to do.
3.
Doves - Black and White Town "Here comes some action / First time in my life / I gotta get up to get compensation / I gotta get up to get this to last"
Wait for the next ep.
4.
Cat Power - We All Die "Do you happen to know / Where I am from? / I'm lost in this (...) / Hell we all die / Sometimes / Hell we all try / Somewhere"
Like I said, he's lost in everything around, he doesn't understand why people around him act the way they do, but he doesn't want to be alone. He tries. He tries to fit in or does he try to stay the same?
5.
The Servant - Body "Seeing everything as signs / Seeing everything as lines always / Always lying saying you’re fine / When you don’t know what you want "
It's SUCH a good song. "Sometimes it feels like you don’t have a body / Your skin is cellophane" - we all feel invincible sometimes, I bet that Beave feels invincible more often that everyone else.
6.
The Juliana Theory - Into The Dark "Dad, your boy is about to fall / He walks the razor's edge / He's on the brink of fading out / He's at his bitter end / Dad, your boy who used to run, you taught him how to crawl."
Yeah, having such a great daddy is something amazing [/sarcasm] I hate how his father ignores him just because Beaver is not a mini version of him. Becayse he's different.
7.
Everclear - Everything To Everyone "i think you are blind to the fact / that the hand you hold / is the hand that holds you down (...) / you do what they tell you to do / you say what they say / you try to be everything to everyone"
That's how I see his 'relationship' with Dick, Logan and other 09ers. He wants to feel like he has friends, someone close so he tries to fit in by doing things they expect him to do (like the gasoline scene from 2x01 or the party scene with V and the guys). It's not a good thing but I think I understand why he does it.
8.
Sia - I'm not important to you "There are plenty of people out there / Who would care about me / You'll see / You'll see / I'm not important to you"
Another Casablancas family song. I only hope that Beave will finally find a true friend. Why oh why can't it be Wallace? Or Veronica?
Now I'm off to watch tv and then - sleeeeep.
