I'm sure I'm not the only British person who was kinda like pfft grilled cheese that's just a stupid way to make cheese on toast but I've been making it per the instructions in that one tumblr post and I get it man. I'd investigate a murder for a train dictator in heels if she got me a grilled cheese too.

Mel: So Donald Trump won the election? Jennifer Connelly: Yeah. Mel: Even though we voted twice in New York? JC: Yeah. JC: Wait. JC: WHAT? Mel: Yeah I mean, sure. Why not? JC: Because it's wrong. Because it's VOTER FRAUD! Because you aren't even from this universe let alone from this state! Paul Bettany: Because to make a difference you should have committed fraud in Wisconsin. Mel: Yeah, I noticed that. PB: Next time talk to me first. Layton: If there IS a next time. You know, I think it's time to start raising an army. One thing I've learned, if you want democracy, you have to take it by force. PB: I like the sound of THAT! Mel: Listen to you, jumping straight to bloodshed. Can't we just... sneak into the capital and STEAL the white house and PRETEND to be Trump? It's only for 4 years. I could do that in my sleep. JC: Stop it, STOP IT, STOP IT, ALL OF YOU! I can't believe what I'm hearing! Voter fraud... insurrection... whatever the hell you call Melanie's weird plan... it's all so complicated. We should just move to France until the fascism blows over. Macron seems reasonable. Layton: That's... missing the point, Jen. PB: Well, hold on. France IS close to the Alps. JC: Right. Ski season is around the corner. PB: With climate change there's no telling how long the snow will last. JC: Think of the kids. PB: They deserve as many powder days as we can give them. JC: I'll call the Ritz and get our usual suites. Layton: Okay. So. Screw YOU guys. Mel. I guess it's up to us. Mel: Okay but. I REALLY want to do my thing where we steal the country from this asshole but nobody knows it. Layton: *sigh* Mel: Once we do it you can be in charge of the army. And I'll get caught at some point for sure and then there will be fighting, so you can satisfy your bloodlust. Layton: Or, the power will go to your head and I'll have to usurp you for the good of the republic. Mel: ... Sure. JC: You know, you two were SUPPOSED to go back to your own universe. That was the agreement. Mel: Soon. Layton: VERY soon. Mel: After we save humanity. Layton: The democratic experiment failed. Mel: The People need us.

Okay but like, not to argue, but just to discuss. Did anyone else feel like it wasn't necessary to have her SAY that? Because all this time I felt that everything Melanie said just there was implicit in the story and in the performances. And so for her to blurt it out like that... like, yeah, sure. That's how she feels but. Yes, that's the SHOW?

"It was confusing with him, I know. He was brilliant, and charismatic, and he was also cruel. Parts of me hated him. And then he saved you, so parts of me couldn't."

Boki-Oz shippers so desperate for anything that feels like the show we know and love that we will crawl through the desert towards a mirage and when we discover there's no water we'll drink the sand.

Him sitting on Boki's lap in the finale? Audrey calling him "lover boy"?

That's the most Nima thing ever. Like, his first job in highschool was at a bagel shop and he showed up to the interview wearing an apron, hairnet, and safety goggles. You'd better believe he got the job.

However this is genuinely the funniest thing I've read all week, Michael Aronov showing up to his audition in the Nima get up going "yeah this is how Nima dresses :)"

Wilford "Is it just me, or is Mr. Layton... how shall I put this... the most odious person alive?" Melanie "My official position is he continues to enjoy my full support." Wilford "And your unofficial position?" Melanie "I told you long ago, you will never have access my unofficial positions ever again." Wilford "I see. Well, I just find it interesting. And by interesting I mean soul-crushing, that THAT is the man you gave our trains to. Our babies. Gorgeous Snowpiercer, a veritable work of art. And Alice. Oh, Alice. So wild and enduring..." Melanie "Stop it." Wilford "I hear he doesn't even use a coaster on the dash." Melanie "HE WAS DIFFERENT WHEN I MET HIM!" Wilford "YOU SAY THAT ABOUT EVERY LOSER WHO HAS EVER RUINED OUR LIVES!" Melanie "Yeah? I say it about you, too."

There's no way! On what!?

"Snowpiercer cost 7 million dollars an episode" is an absolute insane sentence to hear at 5:30 PM on a Tuesday, but here we are.

Nima is 100% a soup eater. Ben brings his soup to work in a square container to get Nima not to eat it. Nima will not eat a square soup. It makes him very uncomfortable. If Nima sees Ben eating the square soup, he gets vertigo and needs to lie down.

Wilford: Where’s my chair?

Melanie: Milius broke it over Nima’s back while they were wrestling.

Nima: Correction, Milius was wrestling. I was eating soup.

This is exactly how Alex would put it, and to his face, no less.

Ben is head engineer in the same way that Linguine is the chef at the restaurant he works at in Ratatouille

I found a copy of an early Wilford-to-Melanie dictionary.

I get Roche giving him a pass but I don't get why pretty much everyone else treated his tantrum with such kid gloves. Especially seeing as he was willing to sacrifice their lives in a war with Melanie just to get to New Eden a little bit sooner.

In some ways I feel like Layton was so insufferable this season that it was out of character. Or maybe he's more in-character now than he ever was. It's one or the other but either way Ruth should have arrested him the minute he went over her head with the generators.

fuck Layton and his fucking daughter I don’t give a shit, how many people need to die for this mediocre man ffs

Found this in an old box of my school stuff. Pretty sure this counts as my first fanfic. And apparently I used about $50 of printer ink on the cover and then had it spiral bound. And if I remember correctly I gave a copy to my favorite teacher as a gift. That poor man had to figure out what to do with this thing. Mr Pinchuk, I’m so sorry.
