Hey, guys! It's a...
BIRTHDAY POST!!!!!
I may have finally reached that age where birthdays are to be dreaded rather than celebrated; but thankfully the internet is an ageless wonder, an anomaly of time and space, and a perfect venue for a "Things That Make Me Happy!" post! AND YOU CAN PLAY ALONG! (Seriously, please do.)
( I'll stick with you baby for a thousand years, nothing's gonna touch you in these golden yeeeeeeeaaaaaars!! )

DID YOU JUST CALL MY MOM A WHORE IN FRENCH. WHAT.
I.
DON'T.
EVEN.
KNOW.
BUT GODDAMN YES YES YES THE UNFAIRNESS OF GUY/MARIAN WILL HAUNT ME UNTIL MY DEATHBED. LIKE, LITERALLY, THEY WILL SEND FOR THE PRIEST TO GIVE ME MY LAST RITES OR WHATEVER NO THEY WON'T BECAUSE I'M NOT CATHOLIC BUT WHO CARES AND I'LL BE LIKE "WAAAAAAIT I CAN'T MAKE MY PEACE WITH GOD UNTIL I UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED IN THE S2 FINALE WHAAAAAT," AND ALL OF MY GRANDCHILDREN WAITING AROUND THE EDGES OF THE BED WILL START CRYING BECAUSE GRANNY HAS FINALLY LOST IT AND MUST BE VERY CLOSE TO THE END.
...BIRTHDAYS MAKE ME MORBID. WHATEVER
SO INSTEAD I WILL WATCH THIS AND REJOICE:
(ALSO LAGAT WROTE A FIC ABOUT THAT WHERE IN HEAVEN GUY GOES TO HIS "HAPPY PLACE" AND IT'S THERE AND MARIAN'S LIKE "OMG AWKWARD" AND I CRIED)
I'M FAIRLY CERTAIN I READ THAT FIC -- I'LL HAVE TO GO STALK IT AGAIN LATER JUST TO MAKE SURE AND TO MAKE MYSELF CRY AGAIN, BECAUSE WHAT BETTER WAY TO SPEND A FRIDAY NIGHT?
GOSH, I DON'T EVEN KNOW... THEY WERE CAUSING ME SO MUCH CONFLICT AND HEARTACHE EVEN WHILE I WAS SIMPLY REWATCHING MARIAN SCENES TO CAP THEM FOR THE MOOD THEME... LIKE... AUUUUGGGGHHHHH WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THIS
EXCEPT TO SAY "I AM SO LOOKING FORWARD TO BANGING YOU IN THE CARRIAGE ON THE WAY TO THE ARCHERY COMPETITION. AND IT'S ALSO KINDA HOT THAT WE JUST BEAT EACH OTHER UP, ONLY I KNOW ABOUT IT AND YOU DON'T"??
AND ALSO
HOW SYMBOLIC IS THIS SHIT? I MEAN COME ON!!! CLEARLY THEY ARE MORE THAN JUST A B-GRADE DISTRACTION SHIP.
BUT THEN THERE WERE MOMENTS LIKE THESE
WHERE SHE IS LIKE "YOU ARE SO FUCKING BORING AND OBNOXIOUS AND I REALLY WISH I COULD STAB YOU IN THE FACE, LIKE, NOW," AND IT MAKES ME SAD. :( :( :( :( :( :(
BUT, I DON'T KNOW... A LOT OF THE SADDER MOMENTS BETWEEN THEM ARE ACTUALLY THE ONES THAT MAKE ME THE HAPPIEST? UM 2.11 OBVIOUSLY, HOLY CRAP -- BUT ALSO STUFF LIKE 1.13, WHERE HE IS LIKE THISTHISTHISCLOSE TO TELLING MARIAN ABOUT THE FAKE KING! HE GOES TO HER HOUSE AND EVERYTHING JUST TO TELL HER! HE WAS GOING TO TELL HER!!!!!! ...AND THEN WHEN HE CAN'T SEE HER RIGHT AWAY, HE HAS ONE MOMENT OF DOUBT AND CHICKENS OUT. BUT SOMEHOW... THE FACT THAT HE THOUGHT ABOUT IT? EVEN IF HE DOESN'T GO THROUGH WITH IT AND CONSEQUENTLY SCREWS EVERYTHING UP? THAT THRILLS ME! THEN DITTO THE BIT THAT MIRRORS THIS IN 2.12, WHERE MARIAN LEARNS THAT HE DID GO TO THE HOLY LAND -- IT'S SO CRUSHING, AND YET SO MAGICAL THAT IT IS CRUSHING BECAUSE, WAITWHAT, MARIAN ACTUALLY BELIEVED HIM? I LOVE THAT, EVEN THOUGH I ALSO HATE IT.
BAWWWWWWW ISSUES. OKAY. MOVING ON.
(I WENT OVER CHARACTER LIMIT; LET'S LOOK SURPRISED!)
