Thinking About How Most Idioms Have Been Dissected And Had Sections Removed So That They Can Fit The

thinking about how most idioms have been dissected and had sections removed so that they can fit the expectations of society and be used to reinforce the ideals that the original version were exactly opposed to and how their meanings have been defaced and distorted to mean what we want them to mean.

example: “blood runs thicker than water” is actually “the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb”

or

“birds of a feather flock together” is actually “birds of a feather flock together until the cat comes”

OR

“an eye for an eye” is ACTUALLY “an eye for an eye, a teeth for a teeth, and soon everyone will be blind and toothless”

tldr: screw the status quo, learn the full, unedited version of idioms

MAG159 has easily become my favorite episode thus far, it’s so beautiful in that tragic melancholic way and Peter’s backstory and how he talks about The Lonely. It hurts in such a lovely way.

just finished MAG158 and out of EVERY manipulator i was expecting this season: Elias, Peter, maybe even Jon, MARTIN K BLACKWOOD WAS NOT ONE OF THEM BUT OH MY STARS TO I LOVE HIM FOR IT?! ABSOLUTELY ICON?!

also SO MUCH JUST HAPPENED?! NOT SASHA?! DAISY?! MARTIN TALKING ABOUT JON?! ELIAS AND JONAH?! I-

i’m in tears, my heart has been ripped out of my chest.

“If you do so, you are almost certainly not coming back. To go into The Lonely willingly is as good as death.” “How do I do it?” OUCH?!

TMA SPOILERS FOR MAG160

MAG160: The Eye Opens

there’s no way we can just… close… it again, can we? please?

bet jon’s really wishing he had considered the whole “gouge your eyes out to quit the institute” thing now. not that i think he, specifically, could atp.

but seriously, can we PLEASE close the eye again?? i’d like to go back to my blissful and willful ignorance, k? thanks.
