I must go on standing
You can't break that which isn't yours
I must go on standing
I'm not my own, it's not my choice

Be afraid of the lame, they'll inherit your legs
Be afraid of the old, they'll inherit your souls
Be afraid of the cold, they'll inherit your blood
Après moi, le deluge, after me comes the flood

Be afraid of the lame, they'll inherit your legs
Be afraid of the old, they'll inherit your souls
Be afraid of the cold, they'll inherit your blood
Après moi, le deluge, after me, flood

Февраль. Достать чернил и плакать.
Писать о феврале навзрыд.
Пока грохочущая слякоть
Весною чёрною горит.

I must go on standing
You can't break that which isn't yours
I must go on standing
I'm not my own, It's not my choice

I must go on stan-stan-ding-ding
You can't, can't break that, that
Which isn't, isn't yours, yours
I'm not, not my own, own
It's not, not my choice, choice

femslashy torture whaaaaa? nobody told me *this* when they pimped POI. I see your notes below on the two dudes sausage-fest, so I think I'll wait to hear how S3 goes before jumping on board?

That said, this vid *really* worked for me. There's such a powerful sense of Carmen Dani... er... Samantha's grittiness, how memory fragments when recalling how traumatic shit gets done. Also, everyone seems fucking shifty and like Samantha's world is essentially groundless. Not sure about POI yet, but I DIG THIS SHOW.

YES! And the femslash torture wasn't sexified. It was legit and not just an excuse for a lady's heaving bosom. It's a fantastic scene that really, really, really made me a believer in Shaw/Root. They have mutual kinks. Pretty much laid out in canon.

Torture scene dialogue:
Shaw: One of the things they left out of my file... I kind of enjoy this sort of thing.
Root: I am so glad you said that. I do too.

BOOM THE SHIP THAT SAILED ITSELF FOR MAYBE A DOZEN PEOPLE

With the kick off the of episode, Shaw's whole life is destroyed and she tried to "fix" things. Not so much her life, but put things where they should be.
