PRAYER FOR WEREWOLVES from We are Mermaids by Stephanie Burt

Andrew Wyeth, “Wolves” (detail)

“Sometimes, when Qui-Gon considers it, he is awed by his student’s steadfastness. Every person Obi-Wan ever truly loved – Anakin, Satine, Padmé, and Qui-Gon himself – came to a terrible end. Three of them died before his eyes; the other fell to a fate so bleak that death would’ve been a gift. The Jedi Order that provided the entire framework for Obi-Wan’s life was consumed by betrayal and slaughter. Every step of this long, unfulfilling journey is one Obi-Wan had to take alone…and yet he never faltered. As the rest of the galaxy burned, his path remained true. It is the kind of victory that most people never recognize and yet the bedrock all goodness is built upon.”

Some Like It Hot (1959) dir. Billy Wilder

Never forget that before Ebon Moss-Bachrach was on the Bear he was having my favorite Frank Castle interaction of all time on Punisher.

• Camping
• Stranded on an island
• Stranded in Antarctica
• Using my clothes to cover/warm you up
• Terminal illness
• Quarantined together
• “I’m keeping your [sentimental item] safe until I get you back”
• *can’t go 2 hours without calling you*
• Pizza & movie nights
• Attending work functions together
• I went back in time and you were there
• We have to strip to check each other for ominous skin abnormalities
• Wrote you love letters
• New Year’s kiss
• Spent my holiday on a case with you
• Cleaning each other’s wounds
• *wipes your face when you got food on it*

The X-Files was trope bingo in show form, it really was.
