Caine Soren - Tumblr Posts

I've crumbled to the urge to reread Gone

It's both kind of nice and kind of sad that apparently I've always been obsessed with awful, misogynistic, murderous men<3

(it’s two of my favorite things together, thank you!)

Gone Series Characters as John Mulaney Quotes

Sam: You know those days where you’re like “this might as well happen”. Adult life is already so goddamn weird.

Caine: I’ll keep all my emotions right here, and then one day, I’ll die. 

Astrid:  My wife said that walking around with me is like walking around with someone who’s running for the mayor of nothing. 

Diana: Shut up! You’re all gonna die! STREET SMARTS.

Quinn: Do my friends hate me or do I just need to go to sleep?

Edilio: I try to stay optimistic, even though I will admit, things are getting pretty sticky.

Orsay: I’m new in town and it gets worse.

Jack: I just wanna sit here and feed my birds.

Howard: Stop snitchin’ motherfucker.

Roger: Hi, I’m very gay and I’d like a few dollars.

Sanjit: You could pour soup in my lap, and I’d probably apologize to you.

Dekka: Some people give off a vibe of, right away, they’re like “do NOT fuck with me”.

Drake: Hey, do you want me to kill that guy for you? Cause it sounds like he sucks, and I will totally kill that guy for you.

Brianna: Sometimes babies will point at me, and I don’t care for that shit at all.

Lana: One black coffee.

Bonus Sam + Caine: None of us really know our fathers. Anyway…

this is a really great post and needed to be said. i will never forget how Caine threatened to force himself on Diana, and heavily implied that he would or could have at least twice in Plague

and this is one of the most loved characters of the series, as is Drake, who also heavily implied he would force himself on Astrid. and yet Astrid was, and probably still is, one of the most hated characters in Gone

A response to this post by @gone-series-orchid. The fact that the narrative is insistent on the idea that ships like Sam x Astrid and Caine x Diana, even despite all their “conflicts”, were destined to be or whatever has always rubbed me the wrong way. It’s true that there will be conflict in any relationship, but stalking your S/O, guilt-tripping them into having sex with you, and then proceeding to go and cheat on them when they refuse are not examples of healthy, natural conflict - they’re signs of ABUSE!!! And in the case of Sam x Astrid in particular, all these instances of “conflict” were initiated and perpetuated solely by Sam. Astrid is the victim, the one who has to be subjected to Sam’s abuse. And yet, she is the one that is villainised by the narrative.

And don’t even get me started on the way that the “other women” in these relationships, namely Taylor and Penny, are depicted. Penny is literally described as crazy and Taylor is described as stupid for harbouring perfectly normal feelings for young, developing children. Not to mention the way that Penny and Taylor, two women of colour, are effectively pitted against white women (or at least that’s the case with Taylor), with the narrative framing them as being less than desirable compared to their white counterparts.

should have taken that shot at Caine's crotch as well when he had the chance <3

gone series would've been better if Edilio shot Sam <3

(this is a joke don't hunt me down)
