But Never Let Me Die Without A Struggle And Without Acclaim

Linktober day 8: Tunic

(apologies to my followers here for an off topic post, but i want this to show up in some tags (for once) and my personal account is... hidden from search, lol.)

i recently recovered my old hard drive from my dead laptop, including recovering my theatre bootlegs. one of which is something i've seen people asking about for the past couple of years (and had been trying to find again myself without luck): a BBC4 broadcast of the 2015 Barbican production of Anne Carson's translation of Antigone, directed by Ivo van Hove. it was broadcast twice and never released on DVD or permanent streaming. there used to be public links around, but all of them are dead as of right now that i could track down.

so i have uploaded it to archive.org now i have it again!

i had to convert the mkv to mp4, for reasons of 'my broadband is shit and uploads too slowly', but it's still good quality. anyway, i enjoy this production a lot. i want more people to watch it! i'm glad i could get it back and upload it somewhere.

The mistakes that have been made can no longer be corrected

And haunted nightmares can still remind you of the scars you left behind

But eventually the nightmare will end.

And you will find yourself forgiven and loved again, as you were once before.

Ive never really met anyone that thought of ribs as interesting… that’s such a shame. Ribs and the things they do are fascinating…. I think about them everyday.

Casual acquaintance: How are you?

Me: Okay so we spent 9 episodes thinking Victor didn't know who Yuri was until the video went viral but in episode 10 we find out that Yuri got shitfaced and had a dance battle with Yurio and pole danced with Chris and even sexy danced WITH VICTOR and in the last 30 seconds we find out he drunkenly asked Victor to be his coach while humping him and that Victor had been BESOTTED by this sloppy drunk and dropped everything because he was into him and now everything that seemed weird or slightly off MAKES PERFECT SENSE AND I'M STILL NOT OVER IT AND HOW IT CHANGES EVERYTHING I THOUGHT I KNEW AND THAT'S ON TOP OF THE FACT THEY ARE ENGAGED!

I had a dream where the goat got frostbite and went home. She is cold and we need to warm her.

I get that a whole lot of you feel (understandably) like you're hanging on by a thread this week and, honestly, I'm very much a believer in letting people grieve/deal with this in whatever way works for them. But do keep hanging on, folks 💜
