The sooner you start, the sooner you'll be done with it and the sooner you can stop thinking about it. Go on, up you get, it won't be as bad as you think.

You won't want to do it later either. You might as well just do it now. Even if you don't finish it all, anything you manage to get done now is something you don't have to do later (when you still won't want to do it)

everything so scary & forever .

Gif sets are SO important to me. Yes, please take this scene and break it up into 4 or 6 three second loops that I can study over and over to appreciate the small details of it

I Dream of Touching, a poem by George Bataille and translated by Rosemary Lloyd.  [The Milk Bowl of Feathers: Essential Surrealist Writings, edited by Mary Ann Caws. New Directions Publishing Corp, 2018]

fated anger print

Those tags that went "why is his taste like my music taste when I was 15?" SSOO REAL

Like. Remember the old phase of Coldplay??? Remember being touched by Coldplay lyrics??

"That's what all the friends I do not like as much as you, say" - this really hits something in Edward Little's core. Hard to explain. But I'm seething.

Anyway, I'm choosing to see this song as a Solomon and Edward song: "but do you wanna come back? It's all right, it's all right, it's all right if you wanna come back."

Something about We've been had is so so tender. Reminds me of how Edward even in his commanding role seems to be such a tender guy, yes HE WOULD move in with all of his friends at 19 and regard that as a dumb decision that he did not see himself doing in any other way, anyway, he would laugh at himself in bittersweet nostalgia about it, yeah

I was not 100% onboard but then Dave SNAPPED with "The cleaner" at Ned's playlist.

That's Edward Little snapping, too.

@muchtodoonterror I'm so glad you came to play. You'll like this addition to the post, also yes to everything!!! While Jirving makes for a bad boss and a bad authority figure, he does feels a lot of solidarity for the workers under management and will always personally hope for their well being. I do believe he would be where christian values intersect with resistance's practices - mirroring his canon character arc. Personally, he's an all right sport. He just really shouldnt be an authority figure, he loses it when someone questions his authority and in his worldview nobody must question authority - on the other hand, when the workers are united under a demand, then the authority has flipped.

Ok I'm back. I do agree with Jirv feels a lot of solidarity - which I think is partly what makes him a bad boss? He hasn't figured out how to walk the line between authority figure and guy who cares, and he ends up doubling down on the former. Basically I agree with all of the above! This is why I think he'd Really Not Want To Know What The Employees Are Up To. He feels completely beholden to authority and knows that he'll end up following whatever the institution/company dictates, but he *wants* them to succeed in his heart.

As for Hodgson.... There's just no doubt in my mind he'd be a union buster. He strikes me as someone who says "why don't they just get a better job then" when someone complains about lack of pay or benefits. Or, because his benefits are so good, he opposes any effort that might jeopardize that. (not based on a real person of course. vanessa from costumes. ) I think he's so entrenched in the hierarchy and has never really had to work for what he has to an extent that he can't understand those who do and just how much of a disparity of experiences there is. He wouldn't report what he saw if he found out about organizing efforts by accident but if upper management already knew he'd be more than happy to join in on any unionbusting they might want: and he'd do it with a "come on, lads!" "good old boys" "let's not rock the boat now" attitude. He is so steeped in the status quo that he can't see the status quo for it is and takes a threat to it as a threat to himself. It's not that he doesn't want the best for the people under him so much as it is that he genuinely has no concept of what that is or why they're unhappy.

and that's why i think hodge would be a union buster.

!!! Yeeaasss, I really do have fun with this idea of placing Hodgeson’s dandy ways in the 21st century so we can get one of those cluelessly evil albeit friendly rich person who’s like “well, if I was poor I would work harder… And if I had debts I would simply pay them. Tell me, Ned, how is that difficult?” Making everyone around him want to gouge his eyes out. For his luck, the subject doesn’t come up all too often but absolutely, he’s very much for himself and his career first, everyone else second.
