KING CANDY - WRECK-IT RALPH.

RELEASE DATE: November 2, 2012.

DIRECTOR: Rich Moore.

VOICE TALENT: Alan Tudyk.

ANIMATOR: Zach Parrish.

"Everyone should have known with a pass code like UP, UP, DOWN, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, B, A, START that this sugary-sweet king was not on the up-and-up. Who in the gaming world doesn't know that cheat code?! King Candy is the ruler of Sugar Rush, a video game made of everything sweet to eat, or as a wise Wreck- It Ralph sees it, a "candy-coated heart of darkness.' " But Sugar Rush was not always such a dark place; it was once a happy kingdom where Princess Vanellope von Schweetz ruled until an evil racer from a game called Turbo Time messed with her code and took her game for his own. The biggest shock? King Candy and that villainous racer known as Turbo are one and the same. Alan Tudyk, the voice of King Candy, said he had imagined King Candy to be a much bigger character, size-wise, and found it really funny that he was actually such a small man."

WRECK-IT RALPH - Wreck-It Ralph.

RELEASE DATE: November 2, 2012.

DIRECTOR: Rich Moore.

VOICE TALENT: John C. Reilly

ANIMATOR: Nik Ranieri

“Wreck-It Ralph is a "bad guy" who has been forced to spend every day for the last thirty years trying to destroy the apartment building that took his home away and to thwart Fix-It Felix from fixing everything Ralph wrecks. After "wrecking" the thirtieth anniversary celebration of his game, Ralph decides to go on a quest to earn a medal and prove to everyone, including himself, that he can be a good guy and do good things. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, director Rich Moore said that the idea for Wreck-It Ralph came when he was asked by Walt Disney Animation Studios to revamp an idea they had been working on for a while: a movie that takes place in a video game. "Video game characters do the same job every day," said Moore. "I don't know how you could tell a story about that, and then it kind of hits me. ... What if the main character did not like his job? If you had a character who is actually wondering: Is this all there is to life?" "

Pit Babe Colors Ep. 10

I'm challenging myself with this show and seeing how good my color skills really are, so I'm doing my normal thing of watching it double-speed on mute, but now, the captions are off also. It's just colors and vibes here. Also, people stay spoiling this show for me in their reblog tags on my posts, so I know Charles and Jeffrey made a dumb plan but I have no idea what it includes beyond Jeffrey going to Big Red's.

Hand over heart, I think Sonic is really pretty, which is why I haven't fully thought he is a baddie, but I need a reason for him refusing to wear blue! North gets it together every now and then, but Sonic? Boy, quit relying on that face and follow the damn color assignment!

I'm missing something but I thought Charles and Barbara were fine yet here they are fighting, but Charles spidey sense is tingling, so something bad is gonna happen or will he have sex with Barbara like they did last week? And now the glasses are off! They better not have sex on this track.

Barbara is racing?! Dean was racing last week! Was Dean informed of this plot twist? Did Barbara get healed having sex with Charles last week?

You can take the red off the boy but you can't take the red out of the boy. You are acting so sus, Jeffrey! You had a full conversation with Charles and now you are just lurking in the background. Someone spoiled that he and Charles made a plan, but if the plan is murder, he is already failing at not being suspicious.

Another hand-over-heart moment, I have no effin' idea what happened on that race track because there was so many blues then a car went off the track, and I had no real idea who it was, but I do know JEFFREY HAS SOME EXPLAINING TO DO with his suspicious ass!

Big Red lives in the same place he has his cult meetings to show off his superpowered kids? Isn't there a rule of not having cult meetings where you spray your EIGHTY MILLION BONSAI TREES! That seems dumb and contradictory, but I'm not a mega villain so what do I know?

Red is usually an emergency room color, but the red yelling at me as Barbie feels all the bad things that happen in an emergency room is a lot. Charles isn't dead because color-coded boys in love get happy endings, but Barbie is probably feeling everything right now and it probably sucks.

"Don't be suspicious. Don't be suspicious." Jeffrey, you need to make out with Alan quickly to prove you're gay, because you canNOT do crimes, and are about to be in Kentana territory again. Whatever you and Charles planned, it was dumb and Barbie is now crying.

KENTANA! Are you in on this too?!

*Record scratch* Jeffrey went back to Big Red's with the dumb plan he and Charles cooked up involving Charles dying, yes? Yes! Kentana, as Big Red's whatever-he-is, knows of the plan, SO WHY IS HE BEING BEAT UP?! Kentana, break Kimberly out and run away to the beach together. Big Red doesn't even wear red! HE SUCKS! Leave!

Stuck between the blue and the red, I see. A choice has gotta be made, Kentucky Fried Chicken. Wings or Thighs? Legs are not an option. Legs are reserved for the elite squad of Peter, Alan, and Kimberly. You don't get legs! (WHERE IS KIMBERLY?!)

Barbie woke up in black. He has no man, but he has his powers, so either he is about to enter his rich widow era or he is going to go Kill Bill on these bitches.

Horrible take. Awful take. The WORST take, but . . . if Waymond didn't decide to be bad, he would have been the perfect person to comfort Babe and ease Barbie's pain, pero . . . he had to be a little bitch instead.

Oh, NOW you wanna follow the color assignment, Sonic. NOW?!

Well, Jeffrey picked up your mantle with his not-all-black outfit and bright ass white-wrapped flowers. This isn't a wedding, Jeffrey! IT'S A FUNERAL! Jeffrey, a note from The Sign's Dr. Chalothon - FAKE IT! Sir, that empty grave is supposed to be your roommate and partner-in-dumb-crime, yet I haven't seen one single tear from someone who just lost their buddy. You're more sus than the entire cast of Dead Friend Forever. How does Barbara not suspect your ass with his spidey senses?!

Damn you, Saltburn!

KIMBERLY! AND HE'S IN BLUE! *sliding down the wall and sobbing on the floor* MY BABY HAS RETURNED!

Wait! Pause! *squints* Why did Jeffrey bring Kim? And why to Alan's house? What in the Chuck E. Cheese is happening?!

Alan, Jeffrey's roommate is quote-unquote "dead" yet you are living your best life. Can you try to be sad too or are you in on this plan and this is why Kimberly is now looking beautiful on your couch?

The blue is between y'all, but just like Charles and Barbara having sex on every surface when Kimberly was being held hostage, do y'all have no shame? Making heart eyes at each other immediately after burying an empty coffin that was supposed to be Charles. Shame! At least pretend that Charles is dead! Or fill Barbie in on this dumb plan.

Vegas' Hedgehog, you pretty bitch. I hate you.

Barbie is watching the crash, and Jeffrey and Alan are playing footsie over Charles' quote-unquote "grave." But I already know I'm more upset for Barbie than he will be for himself because he'll forgive everyone for this bullshit lie in less than two minutes.

Does Barbara think Waymond killed Charles?! He might be shitty, but he is backed by the blue. He ain't guilty! Go speak to your boyfriend's roommate and his new boyfriend, Barbie!

Oh shit! I wasn't expecting you to actually go talk to them! Hold up! Is that blue on Jeffrey?! Does he actually not have anything to do with Charlie's quote-unquote "death"?

SONIC IS WEARING BLUE IN THE BACKGROUND!

Like I know shit is going down right now because Decanus sabotaged ANOTHER car *Pikachu face* but I don't think he is in on the dumb plan to "kill" Charles so . . . Kimberly wore blue this episode and Sonic is wearing blue (even though I think there is a shimmer of red there), and I'm crying in the club because this is all I wanted, and sorry to all of y'all, but the show could end right here, and I'd be happy.

Oh no. My man is crying. I am no longer happy. I am in pain. Why is he crying so hard? Was Dean his best friend? His brother? This feels personal. Jeffrey, come give our man a hug! Right now! RIGHT FUCKING NOW, JEFFREY!

Seeing Alan cry hurt way worse than anything else that happened. Charles isn't dead, so I'm just upset that Barbie has to cry and more upset that Barbara is going to be cool with whatever dumb plan Charles made without telling him, but Alan's tears were unexpected.

However, Sonic is back on his bullshit next week, so I can't stay in my feels too long.

And I get to see Peter while someone fully commits to the blue.

Oh, and we get to see the dumb-plan-that-made-Barbie-cry in more detail. *Arthur fist* Be upset at Charles for just one episode, Barbara. Just one damn episode, please. He didn't try to assault you like Waymond, but Charles has played with your emotions several times, and I just need you to knock 👏🏾 his 👏🏾 ass 👏🏾 out 👏🏾 too 👏🏾.

P.S I stink at hero and villain names.

In 1980, Etienne, Henrion, and Carlo "Crimson" Hansen were brothers who started out as petty thieves living on the streets. But later in life they were employed by a mysterious crime lord who dealt in illegal experimentation, drug smuggling, and seizing control of other corporate businesses. As they years went by Henrion and Crimson revealed in the money and power that organized crime gave them but Etienne gradually grew to regret it upon seeing just how dangerous their boss's operations were and even more so after he fell in love his long-time girlfriend Marie. In time all three brothers had one son, Etienne's and Crimson's were born through marriage while Henrion's came from a one night stand with a hooker. When Etienne became a father he decided to quit and live a life of honest work, begging his brothers to the same for their sons but they both refused.

Then a year later in 1986, Etienne received a call from Crimson's wife begging him to come help her, insisting that her husband has gone mad and that she needs to escape with her child. Etienne agrees to help but knows his brothers will seek retribution, so he arranges for himself, his family, his sister in-law, and his nephew to go into hiding until the heat dies down. Unfortunately when he goes to get Crimson's wife and one year old son he finds her dead, having been killed by Crimson and is knocked out. When he wakes up he learns that Henrion and Crimson have kidnapped his own son and later discovers that all three boys were being used as test subjects for their boss's experiment to advance human D.N.A. Apparently older test subjects were unable to survive the effects and younger ones were suspected to have a stronger system. Engraged that his brothers would stoop to this Etienne kills them both, takes his nephews to raise his own alongside his son, and left town with his family to start a new life, changing their name from Hansen to Devalcourt.

Fourteen years later, seventeen year old cousins Alastor and Anthony "Angel" and their fifteen year old cousin Maximus "Moxxie" have been brought up in a loving and nurturing environment provided by Etienne and Marie and all three are blessed with extremely high IQ's and intellectual gifts. But upon reaching the teen years they develop their own personal issues. Alastor is a socially awkward nerd who is constantly mocked and bullied by his peers, Angel is a rebellious punk who acts out to deal with feelings of abandonment and is belittled by most of his teachers, and Moxxie is always trying to fit in only to constantly be rejected. Despite this they do have some friends. Alastor’s rich high school classmate Blitzo who's father is the owner of a corporate company, Moxxie’s fellow theater geek Fizzarolli who is also bullied due to being held back several years, and the boys’s beautiful next door neighbor and childhood friend Charlotte “Charlie", who Alastor has secretly been in love with since he was six.

One day the school takes a field trip to a genetics lab run by Doctor Asmodeus Rapha, a brilliant scientist and former science teacher for the boys, and among the few to recognize Angel’s potential. Asmodeus unveils his latest invention for all to see, the Neogenic Recombinator, a device that crosses science with spiritual forces to create a whole new form of healing and advancing one's natural abilities. However the effects of the device have so far be unstable due to the fact that all the recent test subjects of it can't handle to extreme change in their blood and D.N.A. They are also introduced to Asmodeus's workers Travis and Chazwick, his pretty young intern and Charlie's best friend Vaggie who takes an instant dislike of the boys, believing them to be trouble makers.

During a tour of the lab, Stiker the school bully and his gang grab Moxxie and drag him off somewhere to beat him up. Alastor and Angel come to his defense which results in a fight breaking out and one of them hitting the Neogenic Recombinator. The device is turned on and it hits Alastor, Angel, and Moxxie with a blast but nothing seems to happen to them so they quickly run home, to avoid getting into trouble. However in actuality they have been given super natural, demonic, powers and skills without any negative side effects due to their blood and D.N.A having been made stronger cause of the experiments made on them at a young age. All three have super-strength and genius level intelligence but Alastor can control and morph with shadows, produce tendrils as a means to climb and swing, and his given heightened senses. Angel has advanced speed and agility, instinctive combat skills, and producing a paralyzing venom. And Moxxie can shapeshift, has healing and regenerative powers, and can build any form of device, weapon, or force.

At first the boys just use their powers to benefit themselves. With Angel using his to intimate local thugs who mugged him for money, Moxxie getting revenge on Striker and hid gang, and Alastor signing up for a wrestling match to win a thousand dollars, money which he intends to use to help his parents with their money problems. Charlie happens to notice that Alastor and his cousins are acting different and she informs Etienne and Marie of her worries. Etienne, secretly fearing that they might make the same mistake he and his brothers made, has a talk with all three of them but Moxxie and Angel get angry and snap at him to stop trying to be their father. When he talks to Alastor, just before dropping him off at what he thinks is a trip to the library, Etienne confesses to Alastor the whole story about him and his brothers. He warns him that while in the beginning they were only trying to take care of themselves and their family, in the end it lead them down at dark path of murder and betrayal. Then he tells Alastor that as the oldest he has to look after the family should something happen to Etienne and he gives his son the advice "With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility." Alastor only brushes off the advice, telling his father that he has no responsibility to Angel or Moxxie because technically they're not his brothers and unlike his father, he didn't choose to look after them. That was just saddled on him.

Turns out Alastor had lied to his father about going to the library and was really going to the wrestling match he secretly signed up for. With his powers, he easily beats his opponent and wins the match but is cheated out of the money by the crooked sponsor. Shortly after said sponsor is robbed and Alastor let's the thief get away as revenge. Later as Alastor waits for his father to pick him up, he discovers that a car jacker shot his father and Etienne dies in his son's arms. Heartbroken and enraged, Alastor hunts down the murderer but is horrified to find that the killer is the same thief he let get away. Alastor is now condemned with guilt, convinced that his father's death was his fault and Angel and Moxxie are also stricken with guilt for how they treated their uncle. At Etienne's funeral Charlie, Blitzo, Fizzaroli, and Vaggie comfort the boys and Marie. Alastor then swears on his father's grave that he'll make things right and always look after the family no matter what.

Meanwhile Blitzo has always felt neglected by his father and is desperate to win his approval. So desperate that he begins taking drugs to be good at sports and become a star athlete, ditching his real friends to hang with the popular crowd, and sets out to woo Charlie despite knowing that Alastor has loved her for years. Charlie tells Blitzo that she's not sure if she wants to be his girlfriend but she agrees to date him to see where this goes. At the moment Charlie isn't really looking for a relationship, she's too busy trying to achieve a career in acting yet unfortunately no one really supports that dream except for her Vaggie, Moxxie, and Alastor. One night Charlie has a fight with her father over her career choice and Alastor invites her out to comfort her. As they talk Charlie confesses that she always admired Etienne for being a devoted and supportive father, calling him a hero to which Alastor agrees. He then confesses that he believes himself to be a disappointment to his father and that he may never be the man he wanted him to be. But Charlie just kindly assured him that he's better than he thinks and that someday he'll be a hero just like Etienne was.

This inspires Alastor, Agnel, and Moxxie to honor Etienne's wish for them to be good men by using their powers to defend the innocent from evil. Donning masked costumes, they fight crime and save lives as honorable vigilantes with demonic powers and skills. This earns them the names the Demon Deer, the Spider Sinner, and the Incredible Imp. However despite their heroics, newspaper publisher Husk is convinced that the three of them are villains and vows to find proof as this by hiring Alastor as the newspaper's photographer due to him being the only one able to get a clear picture of the heroes. Meanwhile Angel decides to clean up his punk act by taking up an internship with Asmodeus which allows him to work alongside Vaggie who is soon impressed by his hidden genius and Moxxie helps Charlie further her acting career by getting her involved wit his acting trope.

Unknown to everyone including Blitzo, his father Adam is secretly the crime lord Etienne used to work for years ago and has been building his own criminal empire to run the city. At some point Adam decides that he wants to use the Neogenic Recombinator on himself despite Asmodeus's warnings of the danger. The device does in fact give Adam supernatural powers and skills but because his body and D.N.A has no immunity or stabilizing factor like Alastor and his cousins do, he is driven insane and becomes a villain known as the Dark Archangel. At a world unity fair where Adam was supposed to meet his son and Charlie, the Dark Archangel arrives and assassinates a rival crime boss attending the event. Alastor as the Deer Demon fights him but has to let him escape when Charlie falls from a building amidst the chaos. He catches her in time and she can't help but feel that there's something familiar about her savior.

Adam continues to plan the murders of his competition but many of his attempts are thwarted by Deer Demon, Spider Sinner, and the Incredible Imp. Eventually he realizes he can't take all three of them so he kidnaps his employees Asmodeus, Travis, and Chazwick and uses the Neogenic Recombinator to mutate them into villains that he unleashes on to the city to distract the heroes. Travis and Chazwick are both gleefully embrace their new, sadistic identity but Asmodeus tries to fight it and goes to Angel and Vaggie for help. The two of them and Alastor keep him secretly contained and run experiments on him into order to find a cure for the mutation. During this Angel and Vaggie grow closer and after a surprise kiss, they start a relationship. Alastor and Charlie grow closer too much to Blitzo's jealousy. On a rainy night, Alastor and Charlie share a romantic moment just after a failed audition where he encourages her to keep holding on to her dreams. She walks home alone but Alastor notices some men following her and sneaks after them through the shadows. The men try to gang rape Charlie but the Deer Demon saves her again. Thinking that it was Alastor who saved her, she kisses him in the rain but is shocked and embarrassed when they part and she sees that it's not Al. Or so she thinks.

At Thanksgiving, Charlie, Vaggie, Fizzarolli, Blitzo, and his father are invited to spend the holiday with the boys and Marie. At first the dinner goes well but then Adam sees a photo of Etienne, recognizing him as his former employee which rouses suspicion. He also finds out that Charlie happens to be the daughter of his ex fiance Lilith who left him to be with his best friend Lucifer from college. Adam suddenly starts acting rude, berates Blitzo and reveals that he's been taking drugs, taunts Moxxie about his father killing his mother, and calls Charlie a gold-digging whore. Moxxie runs off with Fizzarolli following to comfort him and Charlie is reduced to tears. Blitzo doesn't defend any of them out of fear but Alastor respectfully tells Adam to leave and warns him never to speak that way about his family or Charlie again. When Adam is gone Blitzo tries to comfort Charlie but she rejects him and retreats into Alastor's arms, seeing that he only was interested in her to impress his father.

Adam, having never known that any of the Hansen brothers had children until now, uses his illegal connections to pull up concealed information about their background and discovers the experiments done on the boys. This causes him to deduce that Alastor, Angel, and Moxxie are the Deer Demon, the Spider Sinner, and the Incredible Imp. He chooses to punish them by striking at their hearts and preying on the people they love most. First he has Chazwick attack Fizzarolli and force unstable drugs into his system which leads to an overdose. Next he has Travis release Asmodeus and set him up to be hunted and put down by animal control. Finally as The Dark Archangel, he breaks in and terrifies Marie to the point that she has a heart attack. Alastor and Charlie stay at the hospital to look after Marie and Fizzarolli while Moxxie and Angel look for Asmodeus and the other villains.

At some point Blitzo comes to the hospital to apologize and make amends but backs out upon seeing Alastor and Charlie embrace. He goes home that night and reveals to his father that Charlie prefers Alastor over him and that Alastor has always loved her. This reminds Adam of when Lilith chose Lucifer over him and he assumes that Alastor and Charlie purposely hurt his son. He kidnaps Charlie and uses her as bait to lure Alastor to the Brooklyn Bridge. Alastor goes there as the Deer Demon and finds the Dark Archangel holding her and a tram car of children hostage. He forces Alastor to choose whom he wants to save and drops them both but Alastor manages to save both Charlie and the children. Adam refusing to let him win, sends Chazwick, and Travis to kill them all but though Angel and Moxxie arrive just in time to hold them off long enough for Alastor to get everyone to safety.

During this Vaggie finally creates a cure and sets out to use it. She finds Asmodeus and cures him just before his shot by the authorities then races to the bridge to cure the others. But things soon take a tragic turn. As Moxxie is curing Chazwick, Travis electrocutes him to the point that he can't move and throws Vaggie from the bridge. Angel catches her with his webbing but he finds her motionless and unresponsive. And Adam grabs Alastor and subjects him to a brutal beating him. However when Adam brags about how he will kill his mother, his cousins, his friends, and for last subject Charlie to a slow and painful death, Alastor becomes so enraged that he gains the upper hand, and nearly kills him. Adam reveals himself and begs for forgiveness while subtly getting his glider ready to impale Alastor from behind. Warned by his senses, he dodges the attack, and the glider mortally impales Adam instead. Adam dies with a torn piece of the Deer Demon's suit in his hand and when Blitzo later finds it on his father's body, he assumes the Deer Demon killed his father and swears revenge.

In the end Chazwick and Travis are cured and arrested for their crimes while Asmodeus is given proper treatment. Marie and Fizzarolli both recover but the incident at the bridge leaves Vaggie comatose and Moxxie paralyzed from the waste down, unknown if he'll ever walk again. Blaming himself for what happened to Vaggie, Angel gives up being the Spider Sinner and a protective Alastor forbids Moxxie from ever being the Incredible Imp again, choosing to take the burden on his own. Charlie confesses to Alastor that she loves him and they kiss, but he feels he must protect her from the attention of his enemies. So he hides his true feelings and tells Charlie that they can only be friends. She sadly accepts this but is left wondering if there's more to what he said due to the familiarity of their kiss. Alastor goes with Angel to visit Moxxie in the hospital all while recalling his late father's words and accepting his responsibility as the Deer Demon.

thinking abt Connor’s mom. i picture her in my head as this extremely bubbly midcentury NY society lady that Logan married for her family’s money and/or the sex-pass (more common back then) who got even more idealistic after having Connor and as the 50s became the 60s (using Alan Ruck’s 1956 birthdate as an anchor here, the timeline might be different in Successionland,) and had an “are we the baddies” type moment re: All Of It™️ and entered a crisis, began clashing with Logan, founded RECNY, exited the crisis, reentered a new, scarier crisis as the clashes with Logan continued, before finally being sedated and locked up sometime in the 70s (probably. doctors REALLY loved administering sedatives in the 70s.) while Logan finalizes the divorce, shoves more cake in their son’s mouth, and leaves him to go wife shopping, and later heir shopping.

furthermore: thinking about how after the divorce that Logan probably bankrolled the fees for her incarceration (let’s not dance around it) but that her family were the ones who kept her there. how after they died responsibility might have shifted to a now-adult Connor if extended relations were unwilling/unavailable. thinking about how the fact he’s almost immediately on board with playing ambassador in the Balkans probably means he doesn’t visit her regularly, if ever, for any number of reasons. (Fear? Shame? Garden variety rich guy apathy? the cake thing and him defending her around Roman et al points more to a fear/shame cocktail imo.) At the end of it all I’m left to wonder what I always wonder when someone winds up involuntarily hospitalized, especially longterm: was she a genuine danger to herself and others, or did someone just want her gone?

tl;dr Mrs. Logan Roy the First looks like Patricia Nixon with a rictus smile and runny mascara in my brain. okay. think pearl necklaces and aspic dinners and doctor prescribed Quaaludes and nobody’s hair moves because we’re in the hairspray and hot rollers era. get it. got it.

[lesbianalanwake]

Re: The Deleting. Can you give me the tl;dr, I love your thoughts on AW. If not, *insert meme about keeping your secrets here*

tl;dr something about how Saga's ease of getting out of the Dark Place isn't some cool "gurl power" thing, it's weak writing (as is often the case with black characters in video games being underwritten) because her problems aren't even real, she doesn't get to really wrangle with and confront regret or grief or failure like everyone else does, and thus there is a massive emotional dissonance between Saga and the rest of the game. (like I really think they must have walked back some things in her story to make it more tame because the dissonance is just ???.)

bc Alan struggling to get out of the Dark Place is an emotionally rich narrative about futility, regret, and persistence in the face of catastrophe and the labyrinth of one's own mind, not some moral commentary on how bad things only happen to bad people.

I want thank ALL of the lovely people for their kind birthday wishes for me today on my 60th birthday.

I am the luckiest man in the world. I have a wonderful partner in life, my beautiful wife Patricia and three lovely daughters; Elle, Miranda and Madeline.

Today, I am reminded of what Dr. M Scott Peck told me over 30 years ago: At 40, you feel like you can conquer the world and there’s a sense that nothing can stop you.

But at 60 you realize the very real fragility of life and temporariness of it all. A humbling knowledge that there is indeed a time limit for all things and that God’s design though perfect, is precious far beyond its brevity.

Today, I am also reminded of the Hindu story that my friend Bill from Lowell Arkansas told me about a man at his funeral. Looking at the man, “Would this man lying here ask for more riches and Gold from the world? Would this man ask to be more famous and well regarded by others? Would he ask to be taller or look more handsome? No. The only thing this man lying here today would ask for was much simpler…more time.”

If you are reading this now, then you too have time! Use it wisely, use it unwisely too! But USE it. Be IN it. Be aware that you are part of ALL of it and that the separateness you sometimes feel is an illusion. Just as your heart beats without being told, you are as integral to the Sun that fires and the planets that circle it as your heart is a part of you.

For the atheists, God loves you too. The mistake you make is to think the universe is a stupid thing that just bumps into things and expands ignorantly and without reason or intelligence. And that somehow we human beings, with our intelligence is just some kind of ‘freak’ universal accident. To you I say this, if there is such a thing as kindness, empathy, compassion and love…it is because you found it in other people.

And as my dear friend Norm Macdonald once said, “We are part of this universe, indeed a mere fraction of it, so if we have kindness and love, how much more the universe itself.” For if we are capable of love, it is because it is endemic to the universe itself.

To quote Alan Watts, “For we didn’t come ‘in’ to the world, we came ‘out’ of it. We are the universe evolving to the point of consciousness, so that the universe, us, can experience existence and life in all it’s wonder and beauty and glorious exuberance.”

Lastly, as I am a new convert to Catholicism, I offer my apology for my lack of Christ’s forgiveness to my fellow man. I was so angry at the people who shut down schools and indeed the world and who coerced others to do things against their will which hurt many people deeply. I offer my unconditional forgiveness and amnesty.

For how can I stay mad at the famous singer who would not let others in to his Broadway show unless they had an experiential jab. I will never forget how kind he was to me and my friends when he was the musical guest on SNL.

How can I continue to hold a grudge against the actor who shamed people like me but has been such a great example for other actors to never give up and keep fighting for their dreams.

How can I still be mad at the lovely actress that said she could no longer be friends with people like me who didn’t ‘get’ it, knowing how incredibly kind she is with every child she meets.

I am humbled by the example of my mother Pilar and how she was able to forgive the WW2 occupiers of her Philippines who killed both her brothers.

At last it is forgiveness itself that is the gift that we give ourselves because it frees us as The Christ intends for all of us to be free. For His gift of ultimate and unlimited forgiveness is indeed the gift for all humanity.

May God bless you and your families now and forever.

With all my “You can do it” love, Robbie Schneider

Leverage Mark Showdown -- Second Heat Contestants

Where the nominator left comments (or fun extra descriptors), I'm including their comments, cause those are way better than what I'd come up with. Where they didn't leave comments, you'll have to settle for mine :P

Jack Lattimer The Radio Job, The Last Dam Job (also sort of most of Season 4) Hes a background guy, just barley staying relevant but also managing to be a pain in the ass to Nate and the crew, but he's not as much of a threat as Damien Moreau, but still stays in the background disrupting htings and giving the crew a hard time purely beciase he wasts a few extra bucks. Hes a bad gys that feels realistic an investor who found a way to cheat the system to benefit himself.

Jimmaaay Jimmy Jimmy Ford The Three Card Monte Job go grandpa

Dr. Anne Hannity The Inside Job That cocky/confident shit is hot... Except for the part where she manufactures a famine. But every time she thought she had a trump card she was sexy af

Dalton Rand The Future Job he's the worst kind of loathsome esp bc he's the most directly confronted with the harm he's doing and is totally blase about it

Nicky & Heather Moscone The Wedding Job They're both great caricatures and I like that they double cross each other.

Alan Foss The Two-Horse Job He’s one of the most well-sold “cartoonishly evil immature dickbag“ characters  we encounter. I love his arrogance, his uber-hateable sexism, and the over the top reactions he makes are so much fun to watch him get angry about. Damien Moreau, "IF WE MUST" The Big Bang Job, The San Lorenzo Job - specifically for the bathrobe and flipflops and being carefully staged to not look like everyone around him is normal human size, bless him - silly charming terrifying bastard man. can't believe this hasn't been done yet.

Retzing & Sons The Snow Job Dysfunctional crime family getting synergistically worse the more they try to deal with each other. Also I get excited every time I see my boy Jonathan from Buffy

Meredith The Lonely Hearts Job Man, she actually almost did our heroes in, didn't she? I love her grudging respect for Sophie, like she is genuinely into the art of grifting and willing to acknowledge being bested

James Kanack The First Contact Job He could have just been another rich and successful asshole. But no, that wasn't enough for him. HE HAD TO TALK TO ALIENS.

Mitchell Kirkwood The Studio Job Dude was a charming psycho, I'd let him murder me for my songs 😍 Plus watching his face break was 😚 Divine 😚

Hugh Whitman The Gone Fishin' Job Yeah, you know, let's do some regular debt collection fraud and also fund an entire militia out in the woods behind the bank, that seems normal, right?

Larry Duberman The Reunion Job what if there was a nerd who had sometbing sooooooooo wrong with them. also his actor was in big eden i got really excited when i recognized him

Wendy Baran The Gimme a K Street Job - okay I cave, you got me with this one.

The nominator says: - Okay I said Baran bc I hate her so very much -  And she’s a girlboss (derogatory)

Andrew Grant The Miracle Job Love the energy, love the way he threw a wrench in their plans by being even more of a sleazy money grubber than they expected (and more creative about it!), and yeah, he's another one that I actually feel kinda bad for cause playing on his anxiety was LOW.

Irina Larenko The Stork Job She was such a ditzy cunt, I hated her but I loved watching her on screen. Kinda cute in a way idk plus her main muscle was kinda unfff

https://consistentsquash.tumblr.com/post/735968615712653312/favourite-snape-characterisation-in-fanfic This range is genuinely shocking. From outside Snape fandom look like they agree on Snape's characterization unlike Marauders fandom. How are these different headcanons coexisting without discourse friction?

Hiya!!

The actual range in Snape fandom is huge!!! That post is my personal Snape reading range. Lots and lots of great fic with softer/darker Snape characterizations on either side of that range.

My takes as a reader below the cut. YMMV. Also tagging @danpuff-ao3 who knows this fandom inside out, @perverse-idyll who is the best for history <3

Of course Snape fans have pretty strong personal takes on Snape characterization. But folks are probably older on average and more chill? This type of ship is a pretty different vibe compared to other popular ships because of the powerdynamics and age gap. Also a lot of folks probably exhausted forever because Snape fandom OoTP/HBP/DH was pretty intense. Plus Lily. It was the type of intensity which really burned out a lot of folks. Not saying we dont have headcanon wars but like its a different stage of fandom compared to Marauders. I am pretty jealous of the level of activity in Marauders tbh but otoh it can also get exhausting. Snarry/Snape fandom isn't really huge like Marauders. Probably shrinking based on the fandom ship stats. Also a ton of folks are multishippers. Those folks are chill about headcanons because they probably have different dynamics for Snarry/Snack/Snupin/Snamione/other ships.

Tl;dr we have headcanons and stuff. Folks probably dont notice because other ships/fandoms have more activity. It's not really a cult with one standard Snape characterization version. Not saying we don't do cults because Snapewives was a thing :D

Also hard to generalize. Snape multishippers/Snape OTP fandom, Snape het fandom/Snape slash fandom, Snape age gap fandom/Snape peer ship fandom, Snape shipping fandom/Snape gen fandom have some overlaps but also lots of differences. Also the folks interested in the type of Rich Pure Blood Snape before OoTP/folks interested in reading/writing him after OoTP/after HBP/after DH are really pretty different because his character arc had lots of twists.

Maybe check out the Snarry fanlore article to get an idea about that range/history. Also really good info on the history side in this interview from Ellen Fremedon

The only list that I really stayed active on was the Snape slash list, and pretty much I made the transition from Star Trek to Harry Potter when I found the Snape slash list and realized that that was where the grownups were. It — especially at that point in the fandom it was very Balkanized, and the Snape slashers were actually renowned at that point for generally being level-headed and rational grown-ups that it was fun to be around. (laughs) Well, because they were grown-ups who'd been in other fandoms before and who'd come to this out of other fannish communities and knew the fucking social norms and were not a bunch of feral teenagers that had to be socialized. And they also were not heavily invested in shipping wars because they were Snape slashers and they knew that Snape was not going to get a boyfriend in the books. Ever. So, we were not looking for textual validation. (laughs) So, yeah, it was sort of its own little polite, well-mannered, sane — it sounds crazy saying this at this point now, but that's really, yeah, it was where the nice, polite, well-mannered rational grownups hung out when I first got into Harry Potter fandom. (both interviewer and interviewee laugh) Well, remember this was also before any of the movies, so there wasn't the Alan Rickman thing going on yet either.

[majorbaby]

I have lots to say about S07E23 Preventative Medicine but my document was swelling with analysis of this one line from Hawkeye, and I want to write a whole post about it for a very particular reason.

I've often expressed my frustration at the show being wishy-washy with its anti-army messaging in the later years or not doing right by the Hawkeye character by either softening his opposition to the army or making him say straight up OOC shit. And I've talked broadly about the show doing the same thing in general, saying stuff that I think is OOC for MASH - it's hard to give specific examples because they're so numerous and dispersed.

So when I stumbled upon this one example of I think, very good characterization of Hawkeye that is particularly rich yet distilled nicely in a single line of his dialogue and then masterfully camouflaged by the show's tone and Alan Alda's comedic acting chops, I wanted to point it out. I realized, this- this is why I get so cagey about the poor, inconsistent writing on the show in the later years, because when it is good, it is so fucking good. And Hawkeye is so, so, so fucking good:

Hawkeye: Colonel, you left out a lot of good stuff. What about "Into the Valley of Death" or "Remember the Alamo" or the ever-popular "Damn the Torpedos!" Lacey: Doctor, why do you just take care of these brave men? Hawkeye: "I have not yet begun to fight!"

Just before this, BJ does call Lacey's speech "disgusting" which is gutsy, for BJ. I have to say "for BJ" because to be fair to him, anyone will have a hard time looking gutsy next to Hawkeye (with the exception of Klinger, more on that someday)

Anyway, Hawkeye elevates it from the obvious and situates Lacey’s actions within a broader system of military incompetence leading to senseless death. He makes no less than four historical references:

“Into the Valley of death” From Alfred Tennyson’s poem about the Crimean War, which similarly glorifies the high death toll rather than condemns it. Important to note that Tennyson’s poem is in the same spirit as Lacey’s speech and both Hawkeye and the writers of this episode know that. An aside regarding the poem: Because I am so continually gutted and angered by any positive framing and re-framing of Rudyard Kipling, in the world, but particularly in this fandom, I will be the first to point out that Kipling later wrote “The Last of the Light Brigade” in conversation with Tennyson’s poem. It's not that difficult to find out. Yes, Kipling's "transformative" poem is about the hardships faced by veterans (a departure from Tennyson's poem) and no I don’t think that’s enough to see past Kipling’s extraordinary racism and white-supremacist artistic accompaniment to the brutality of British Colonialism waged upon my ancestors and millions of other people's ancestors - the effects of which are still felt deeply to this day by us as individuals, our communities and are imbued in the systems that oppress us. That should always be at the forefront of Rudyard Kipling's legacy, regardless of context.

“Remember the Alamo” - a similar “last stand” often framed and re-framed as being a brave sacrifice. A favourite war story of the American canon.

“Damn the Torpedos!” you don’t have to live like a refugehhh both Hawkeye and Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers are referencing a quote attributed to US Navy commander, Admiral David Farragut, although it’s doubtful he actually said it, the meaning of the quote remains: charge forward even if you’re likely to die in your attempt. Farragut was a decorated career army man who fought in multiple wars and after his death in the late 1800s became a mascot for the US Navy and his likeness was used on WWI and WWII propaganda posters, urging citizens to sign up. I think Hawkeye and the writers are aware of this too.

After Lacey tries to remind Dr. Pierce MD that he is in fact a doctor not a soldier (cries in the Hawkeye Pierce complex) Hawkeye exclaims “I’ve not yet begun to fight!" – that’s John Paul Jones during the American Revolution while appearing to have lost a battle at sea with the British. He succeeded, but it's worth noting that the ship he was in command of, the Bonhomme Richard, sustained such damage, it sunk.

That is a lot for barely 20 seconds of dialogue.

Hawkeye being anti-army isn’t just broadly true of him. It’s packed very densely into these kinds of lines (of which I'm sure there are many) and then dressed up in theatrics. Alan Alda hams it up here and I love it, because it highlights how vapid and fake military propaganda and nationalist refrains are.

If you’re not familiar with the references he’s making and the analysis of them that I've laid out here/other facts associated with them, then they might just land as a “haha, Hawkeye is such a funny guy” perhaps with some vague awareness that he doesn’t like Lacey.

It's very hard for me to accept anything less from this show, and from Hawkeye in particular, when you have examples of how concentrated and deep his rage and passion runs.

Unrecognisable Part 58

Not surprisingly the location Jake had chosen was yet another abandoned building. However, this warehouse was significantly smaller than all the others. There was one front entrance and only one back exit. It was much easier for someone to take up a defensive position as there were very limited access points. Even though Alan sent Dan around to monitor the back exit, I knew this wouldn’t be the escape route Jake would use if he decided to run. He was more likely to escape out through a second story window, but I didn’t expect him to.

I entered through the front entrance with Alan following close behind. Dr. Cumming kept his distance to give Alan space, but kept a watchful eye as we made our way into the heart of the building. Jake stood ominously in the middle of the open floor with his hands in his pockets and hood over his head. Part of me ached to run up and hug him. Even as more of my memory returned, I was still so addicted to him. I yearned for his warmth and his scent.

“Took you long enough,” Jake mumbled.

“Sorry, there was some disagreement in how we were going to proceed,” I admitted.

“I see you won in the end,” Jake smiled.

“You know me,” I shrugged. “Come on, Jake. Dr. Cumming has his car outside.”

“I thought I said only you,” Jake frowned.

I glanced back at Alan, who readied his hand on his holster, “Alan’s a friend. You know that. And anyway, he’s agreed to help you move into the facility quietly.”

“On the condition you tell me what you’ve done with Richy,” Alan interrupted. “Despite everything, he still has a family that would like to know what has become of him. Please give them that peace of mind, Jake.”

“I don’t know where he is now and that’s the truth,” Jake shrugged. “He’s wherever the water will take him.”

“Jake… you didn’t…” I bit my lip.

“It seems he couldn’t handle the torture he had inflicted upon me. I suppose that makes me the stronger one then doesn’t it?” Jake responded with slight amusement.

“And how does that make you feel, Jake?” Dr. Cumming asked from the back.

“I had expected him to put up more of a fight. It was… unsatisfying,” Jake said honestly. “But somehow the world feels lighter.”

“Enough with the therapy session, there’s plenty of time for that after you’ve been admitted,” Alan shook his head dismissively.

“Come on, Jake,” I held my hand out to him. “Let’s go.”

As Jake took two steps forward, Alan pulled out his sidearm and trained it on Jake. Jake shot him a glare, then took my hand and stepped up to me.

“That’s close enough!” Alan exclaimed.

Jake ignored him and whispered to me, “It’s ok, MC. I want you to know I forgive you.”

“You forgive me?” I scoffed. “That’s rich for the shit you pulled last night.”

“You can’t tell me that there wasn’t a part of you that didn’t enjoy it,” he smirked. “That man terrorised you and your friends. He attacked Jessy just to sell his story. That's not even mentioning the trauma he's given Hannah. Part of you felt good for doing it.”

“Every additional moment I remember has been pure torture,” I squeezed my other hand so tight, I left impressed of my nails in my skin.

“Oh so not all of last night is remembered,” he nodded. “Last night I had you at my mercy. I could have done anything and I mean anything I wanted to you. And those perverse thoughts did cross my mind. The other me would have.”

“But you didn’t,” I muttered.

“What did I do instead?” he pushed.

“You took me back to our… home,” I recalled.

“And?” he tilted his head suggestively.

“We sat on the couch together and you… you held me,” I suddenly remembered. “You held me until I fell asleep.”

The memory came back to me. Jake held me tight with his arms around me and his head resting on my shoulder. I could feel his warmth, but also his wet tears as they fell onto my shirt. I remembered him quietly sobbing.

“I know you may never understand what I had to do,” he said solemnly. “I never wanted things to go this way. You weren’t meant to be apart of it.”

“And yet, you took away my choice and forced me to be apart of it in the end,” I glared.

“I was angry and I know I took things too far. For that, I am truly sorry and sorry that I forced your hand in betraying me today,” he explained. “Everything will be ok in the end. If it’s not ok, then it’s not the end.”

“What is that meant to mean?” I frowned.

Jake smiled, then walked past me toward Dr. Cumming. “Let us not waste any more time.”

As Alan escorted Jake and Dr. Cumming out of the building and to Dr. Cumming’s car, I stood in silence trying to figure out what he meant. I felt a chill and folded my arms to keep warm, then followed the others out of the building.

I joined Jake in Dr. Cumming’s reasonably new luxury car while Alan drove Dan in his old, beat up sedan. They followed us all the way to the psychiatric hospital. Not a single word was uttered during the entire trip. I spent the time staring out the window. Even the world around us was a bleak, overcast grey.

At the hospital I watched from a distance as Dr. Cumming helped Jake fill in the paperwork for Karl Vogel’s admission. Dan put his arm around my shoulders as I watched Dr. Cumming escort Jake to the ward’s doors. Before they disappeared behind them, I saw Jake shoot a glare at Dan. Dan flicked him off in response. Then he was gone.

“Are you ok?” Dan asked me after a while.

“I don’t know. I feel… empty,” I shook my head.

“Come here,” Dan pulled me in for a big bear hug. “I know that despite how much I hated the guy, you thought you loved him.”

“No, Dan. I loved him. I really did. And… I still do,” I bit my lip and tried to fight back the tears.

“Sorry to interrupt,” Alan walked up to us suddenly. “I just wanted to let you know that they’ve found Richy.”

I closed my eyes in pain, not wanting to hear any more.

“So the bastard killed him?” Dan asked.

“I don’t know,” Alan admitted.

“What do you mean you don’t know?” Dan pulled away from the hug.

“I mean initial reports indicate that Richy ended his own life,” Alan continued. “There were definite signs of torture, but they’re not what killed him. However, he didn’t put himself in the river.”

“How?” I wasn’t sure if I wanted to know.

“It appears he hung himself with the same rope that he had been restrained with,” Alan shrugged. “He had ripped those bolts you mentioned, MC, through his feet. Forensics is checking that warehouse. We suspect he hung himself in the rafters.”

“Bullshit, Jake hung him,” Dan objected.

“Why would he hang him only to then dump him in the water? Why not just dump him in and let him drown? It seems redundant,” Alan shrugged.

“Hanging wasn’t part of the torture,” I thought out loud. “It was drowning, burning, suffocation, then… infection? Besides, Jake was with me after he forced me to suffocate Richy.”

“What are you talking about?” Dan questioned.

“I suddenly remembered when I was talking to Jake earlier. He took me back to our place then sat with me on the couch for the rest of the night. I didn’t fall asleep until the early morning hours,” I explained.

“Bullshit! Why would he drug you just to hug it out with you all night?” Dan argued.

“Devil’s breath was the only drug he had at the time and he needed to incapacitate me so I wouldn’t try to stop him. He had no intention of taking advantage of me like that,” I continued.

“He only made you suffocate Richy,” Dan reminded me.

“I think in his own way he thought he was doing me a favour. Letting me take out some aggression on Richy for what he had done in the past. I know he did enjoy it on a perverse level,” I lowered my head to avoid eye contact with the others.

“Are you back to trying to tell me he’s not that bad of a guy?’ Really?” Dan rolled his eyes.

“He’s still wanted for the abduction and torture of Richy,” Alan clarified. “And intended murder if not full murder charges.”

“So what will you do now?” Dan asked.

“Well I would like to go home, but I don’t even know if that’s possible,” I sighed.

“You could come back to Duskwood,” Dan offered.

“Dan, she’s technically an illegal alien. Her visa would have been revoked long ago,” Alan pointed out.

“So? Use your connections and get her a new ID!” Dan pressured.

“That’s not even remotely legal,” Alan frowned.

“No, I think I’ve had enough of Germany,” I laughed. “Maybe I’ll do what I thought about doing at the start of all thiis. I’ll head to the embassy and tell them I was held against my will and coerced into doing things.”

“I’ll go with you and give a statement. Hopefully my status will carry some weight,” Alan offered.

“Thank you, Alan,” I smiled. “I don’t suppose there’s an embassy in Colville?”

“No, but there is a consulate. Let’s go there now,” Alan gestured for us to head back to his car.

As we headed out the lobby, I took one last look back at the admission desk. Dr. Cumming was speaking with a nurse and saw us leaving. He gave me a nod before we walked out the front doors to let me know everything was ok.

Alan and Dan sat in the front of Alan’s old sedan while I sat in the back and leaned my head against the glass. I couldn’t help but feel like a part of me had been ripped out. That hole in me was never filled again. I hardly noticed we had driven into the parking garage across from the US consulate until Alan turned the car off. Dan opened the door for me and helped me out. I wasn’t entirely sure what I was going to say to these officials, but I was going to push the mugged tourist story for as long as I could. Maybe no one would even notice that I was wanted for questioning.

We got as far as the security screening before I was surrounded by several armed officers.

“Down on your knees! Hands on your head!” they shouted at me.

“I am an American citizen!” I yelled as I put my hands above my head. “I’ve been held hostage by an international criminal, but I have escaped and am trying to go home!”

“Down on your knees!” they repeated.

“I am the chief of police with the Duskwood Police Department and I can attest for her!” Alan pulled out his badge and tried to get between me and the armed officers while I knelt down.

“This is American soil! You have no jurisdiction here! Step aside!” one of the officers commanded.

Another officer ran past Alan and shoved me face down on the ground. Then he grabbed both my wrists, put them behind my back and ziptied them together. A female officer came up and checked my clothes for anything hidden. She took my phone off me then stepped away. The first officer then lifted me back off the ground and took me down a secure corridor into a holding cell. I could hear Dan getting loud and rowdy with the officers, but as soon as the door closed, it was dead silent. This was not at all what I had expected and I began to panic that they wouldn’t even consider my story.

I was left to wait there for several hours before a guard came and moved me into an interrogation room. There two agents in classic Men in Black suits waited for me.

“I’m Agent West and he’s Agent Reeve. MC, take a seat,” Agent West gestured before him.

“Wait, that’s not really your names, is it?” I questioned. The agents only gave me blank looks in response. “Of course they’re not.”

“Look, MC, it’s simple. Give us Nym-0s and you can have your freedom,” Agent West spoke plainly.

“I don’t know where he is,” I lied. “I managed to finally get away from him and came here for protection.”

“You honestly expect us to believe you were held against your will?” Agent Reeve mused.

“It took us a while, but we finally traced your money overnight to your offshore account, MC,” Agent West announced, then pushed over a bank statement in my direction. “The thing is with offshore banks, they are rather eager to assist when you mention a skilled hacker is involved. It’s not good for business after all. They had no problem supplying us with your account statement this morning.”

I looked down the piece of paper. Sure the opening deposit was exactly in the amount of my old savings, but there were hundreds of other deposits made afterwards. The sum of which had far more digits than I could ever believe.

“This isn’t all mine,” I shook my head. “I know it’s in my name, but Jake… he’s the one who took my money and set up this account.”

“Oh, we know,” Agent West smiled. “MC, do you know the name Mikael Eriksen?”

“Should I?” I asked confused.

“You squatted in his penthouse for several days,” Agent Reeve took over. “During that time, Mr. Eriksen had about $100 million USD withdrawn from his various investments. $50 million of which has been traced and is confirmed now be sitting in this account of yours.”

“Now obviously, we will have to confiscate that,” Agent West interjected. “But here’s what we think happened. The two of your partnered up, committed a bit of crime, but you’ve had enough. You decided it was time to cash in at the casino and head home with your winnings. You even had a nice cover story of being held hostage lined up and ready to go. Maybe you really did fight to escape him. By stabbing him in the back that is. And now you’re here hoping we’ll give you protection from him while you get to retire somewhere nice.”

My eyes darted back and forth as I tried to understand what was happening. “I had nothing to do with this! I didn’t even have access to the account! He stole that money from me! And he… he’s framing me!”

Agent West leaned back in his chair and narrowed his eyes at me. “You really didn’t know?”

“No!” I exclaimed.

Suddenly I remembered Jake’s words from the night before, ‘Whose wings I’ve clipped.’ The realisation hit me that he always had this planned, in case I did turn on him and betray him. It was his insurance plan.

“You’ll noticed there are no withdrawals,” I added. “I’m telling you, I didn’t know it existed! I didn’t know he stole that Eriksen guy’s money!”

“MC, where is Jake?” Agent West repeated. “If you want to have any chance of living a normal life again, you’ll tell us where he is.”

“He can’t harm anyone anymore, where he is now,” I admitted.

“Where. Is. He?” Agent West emphasised.

“At the psychiatric hospital here in Colville,” I sighed. “Please, he’s getting help, ok? He can’t hurt anyone.”

Both agents stood up and collected their paperwork.

“You made the right choice, MC,” Agent West assured me as moved to leave the room.

“Please,” I begged. “Please don’t kill him. He’s not a threat to anyone.”

“We’ll take that into consideration,” Agent Reeve smirked. “A lot of patients go into psychiatric hospitals, but they don’t always come back out, do they? And if they do, they’re never the same. No one has to kill him to ensure that.”

As soon as the door closed, tears started to run down my face. Why did he have to implicate me in his crimes? Why did he have to hold my freedom to ransom? I felt nothing but regret. Regret for everything that happened in the past several weeks. Regret for getting on that stupid plane and going into that stupid abandoned building. Regret that I didn’t just walk away when we exited the sewer, that I would listen to him even though he was being an absolute asshole. Regret that I put up with all of his bullshit for just those brief moments of calm. Regret that I fought so hard for his mental health when he fucked with mine.

I wished I had found the Man Without a Face instead.

more "caligari" hcs. olsens edition because there's a Lot to unpack I think

the olsen family is one of the most influential in holstenwall, and has been around for many generations. as such, jane is under heavy pressure from her parents to live up to these expectations- and, due to her family's status, is the frequent recipient of marriage proposals from much of the town. she's also had a lot of "fake friends" for the same reason, and as a result, only feels truly comfortable around francis and alan, who have known her since childhood. of course, this complicates once she suspects they're competing for her attention.

dr. olsen and his wife (who I call gilda, after gilda langer, the actress whom the role of jane was initially written for) have a Very strained relationship. mrs. olsen came from a middle-class family, and was pressured by her own mother to marry her way up the social ladder. as a result, she married dr. olsen, who was previously divorced and at least twenty years older than her.

dr. olsen's had this whole thing about wanting to see jane get married and have kids before he dies. this is a problem, because she does not want to do either

they act like the perfect, respectable rich family on the outside, but their dysfunctionality is sort of an open secret. dr. olsen's always at work, mrs. olsen's having affairs, and jane can appear very cold and withdrawn to anyone except her two close friends, although she's really very anxious much of the time.

mrs. olsen is also constantly seeking validation in order to feel secure in an upper-class lifestyle, which is part of the reason why she places so much pressure on jane. she feels that everything jane does reflects on her parenting abilities, so she can be quite strict because she's afraid of being perceived as an imperfect mother/wife.

despite being a respected medical doctor, dr. olsen doesn't have the healthiest lifestyle habits; he smokes frequently and has a penchant for cheap sweets. mrs. olsen, on the other hand, is very conscious of health and etiquette trends- often pushing them onto jane- which can create some tension between them at times.

jane met francis and alan when they were children, and was introduced to them by her mother, who wanted her to exemplify "proper upbringing" to the "less fortunate children" in town as a sort of self-indulgent charity project. however, this backfired spectacularly, as the three became instant friends and would play together like normal children- stomping in mud puddles, picking up strange insects in the woods, etc. whenever francis and alan came over to their mansion, mrs. olsen would treat them well, but have a sort of disdain for having to host two lower-class children- especially francis, who was rambunctious and less well-behaved. alan was far more polite, and even comfortable with their etiquette standards, eager to participate in tea parties and ballroom dancing lessons. this would lead to the awkward situation of jane frequently being told to act more like alan- who proudly took it as a compliment, unaware of how damaging this was to her.

despite their social pressures, the olsens really do care about jane- or at least, they think they do. while they believe they're just trying to set her up for a secure and comfortable future, they're unaware of how lonely and anxious she is. mrs. olsen occasionally comes very close to figuring out how her daughter is feeling, but typically attributes the issue to thinking she's just spoiled and hasn't been disciplined well enough, or thinks she's depressed because she hasn't found the right match yet.

they're all. very repressed in some way or another. mrs. olsen hates her marriage, but believes that because it's what she's worked towards for so long, it's what she actually wants (she's just not good enough at it- but she's been doing everything right, so it must be jane's fault because she hasn't gotten married and their rules don't come naturally to her- but then if she was a good enough parent, jane wouldn't have any problems, right?). dr. olsen spends most of his time at work- and it's not because he wants to avoid seeing his wife (who doesn't even like him and is clearly seeing other men) and daughter (who always seems unhappy despite the fact she grew up rich), but because they depend on him as head of the house, right? and jane doesn't want to disappoint her parents, because she's an olsen, dammit. it's an honor just to be born into this family- even though her parents always remind her that they wanted a son. she wants to get married and have kids because that's what she was supposed to do, right? never mind the fact that her parents' marriage is miserable, and if she had kids, she'd be expected to put them through the same stress she's currently going through. but if that's not what she wants, then she'd be disappointing them- and the only reason why she was born in the first place was to make them proud.

jane has no idea what she wants to do with her life. she's actually quite good at chess, and enjoys it, but her mother discouraged her from being too good, in order to avoid humiliating any male opponents. she's been prepared her entire life to be given away to someone else, and doesn't know what else she could do outside of that.

jane was largely raised by the servants of the house. she was educated at home by a governess (whom she hated), but whenever she became too much to handle, her mother would hand her off to a maid or other servant to deal with. she grew quite close with some of the staff, learning which members would be more sympathetic to her, and which ones would side with her parents. she was taught by her mother not to cry at a young age, so whenever she was upset, she'd seek out one of the servants tasked with raising her instead, so she could cry to them. one of the maids would sneak her chocolates she wasn't allowed to have, in exchange for small trinkets or ribbons. they developed a friendship for a while, gossiping about her parents and their guests, but the maid was eventually fired because she was accused of stealing the trinkets, although they were small and relatively unimportant.

These are from @awfulalignmentcharts

I have wanted to fill out alignment charts for so sooo long. I even have some saved on Pinterest that I might get to later

Using my characters from After School Guardians for this <33 I did 10 charts because I don't have self control

Sorry I haven't made proper drawings for everyone yet :((( but these are them. I'm going to rant about my characters and their placements now though🚨🚨🚨

Any good, healthy decisions Ash makes is as a result of him thinking about his father

I was so tempted to put him in doesnt study and it shows seeing as he's proved to be a problematic disaster (see: road trip and living together 😭)

Stormy aces without studying even though she's not much of a brainiac (more of a fashionista type, tbh) because a lot of her youth was spent either surviving or sharpening her mind. She's unexpectedly smart sometimes (kind of sad that it's "unexpected", as if she can't be both beauty and brains). She has photographic memory and commits important details to mind (which really helped her when she was on her own) and I think that'd transfer over to remembering things she needs to ace tests

There's no other way to put it but to say Shadow is a himbo. but!!! he can't completely be blamed? He, Ash, Crystal and Stormy are all non humans getting used to human things so stuff's kind of complicated. Although, it probably makes him look really dumb seeing as the others aren't doing things as silly as him

On the note of them being non human, (Shad a boogeyman, Stormy a siren, Crystal a harpy and Ash an it's complicated) they don't attend school (they'll definitely have their moments where they show up and embarrass the human gang or get into shenanigans) so the studying one is definitely hypothetical

I'd honestly be scared to give some of those guys phones. Crystal would follow instructions on how to use it (probably being guided by one of the humans), Shadow would struggle for 3 months and discover a new feature every other day ("huh?? You can check the weather? I thought this was just a calculator???" "Shadow, PLEASE 😭") Stormy would probably always be getting hers wet/forgetting it's not waterproof and Ash would be the one with the horribly cracked screen, disgusting fingerprints all over or losing his phone frequently (possibly all at once. If so, Zinthia would faint after seeing the "phone" and she isn't phased by many things [execpt Ash being Ash])

It's okay though cuz Zinthia and Alan are our rich kids!! Just buy more phones and ignore what Ash is doing to his current ones 💞

Zinthia steals your wallet only for the thrill of stealing it but doesn't care about money cuz she has her own ✨

Alan will def help u out by holding ur wallet for u but he got his own money so he wouldn't even have any particular intentions. He's not not touching your money cuz he cares about you or your feelings. No, no. Koko is the only one who could be accused of caring about feelings (Shadow too but not in the situation in which you give him your wallet and say he can buy something if he likes)

Crystal's alignment explained wallet wise; she simply doesn't care about material goods (but food is 💯 the way to her heart)

The phone wallpaper one is actually really interesting to me cuz the pairs seem to mostly have the same tastes. Crystal is Nino's guardian, Stormy Alan's, Ash Zinthia's and Shadow Koko's and they're all basically next to each other ("basically" cuz Koko and Shadow deviated, dang it, guys)

The arrows in the thunderstorm one indicate that they'd just be comforting their magic guardians and Alan would use hot coco (never been so glad before that i used Ks in Koko's name 😭✋) while Nino uses his awkwardness

The storm one is funny but Crystal and Stormy are literally reliving trauma so that puts a bit of angst to an otherwise lighthearted situation. Thanks, Soko 🙏 just what the Dr ordered 💞

I felt the need to add something special for Stormy during the road trip. She'd appreciate me letting her have a place at the top <3

Nino and Koko protect the snacks in shifts but show no loyalty/there are no discounts for each other if they both happen to awake at the same time while one is guarding and the other is craving snacks

The urge to say Stormy disappears into to the ocean was so strong but considering the fact that she's a siren that's literal just running away 🤣 so Nino gets to avoid his problems through cryptidhood

Im crying at how Ash's placements literally tell a story

And Alan's "aesthetic" wallpaper exclusively means he goes through rotations of pictures of stars. Because he is obsessed with them by virtue of his family and their history. I won't get into that just like I won't get into what Ash is because that is a whole Thing™️™

Also, Alan is not meek, that's just the drawing. He's more of an intelligent, dedicated and composed person. Crystal might seem a bit similar to him because they had some similar answers or in how they are studious, but she is quiet and stoic in her intelligence and has a bit of a superiority complex towards the others at first. Alan just tries to wrangle these heathens he's been stuck with (read: everyone but Koko and occasionally Shadow if he doesn't get attacked in conversation. Despite how silent and level headed she is most of the time, Crystal gets hella argumentative with Stormy.)

[hyperanaemia]

[...] All the comic book stories produced by any given publisher are likely to take place in the same imaginary universe. This includes the brightly colored costumed adventurers populating their super-hero titles, the shambling monstrosities that dominate their horror titles, and the odd grizzled cowpoke who’s wandered in from a western title through a convenient time warp. For those familiar with conventional literature, try to imagine Dr. Frankenstein kidnapping one of the protagonists of Little Women for his medical experiments, only to find himself subject to the scrutiny of a team-up between Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot. I’m sure that both the charms and the overwhelming absurdities of this approach will become immediately apparent, and so it is in comic books: Swamp Thing exists in the same universe same universe as Superman, the same world as Batman and Wonder Woman and all the other denizens of the cosmos delineated within the pages of DC Comics’ various publications. As I said above, this approach has both its charms and absurdities. The absurdities are obvious: to work properly, horror needs a delicate and carefully sustained atmosphere–one capable of being utterly ruined by the sudden entrance of a man in green tights and an orange cloak, especially if as a character, he’s fond of puns. The charms are much harder to find, but once revealed, can actually be rewarding. The continuity expert’s nightmare of a thousand different super-powered characters coexisting in the same continuum can, with the application of a sensitive and sympathetic eye, become a rich and fertile mythic background with fascinating archetypal characters hanging around, waiting to be picked like grapes on the vine. Yes, of course, the whole idea is utterly inane, but to let its predictable inanities blind you to its truly fabulous and breathtaking aspects is to do both oneself and the genre a disservice. Imagine for a moment a universe jeweled with alien races ranging from the transcendentally divine to the loathsomely Lovecraftian. Imagine a cosmos where the ancient gods still exist somewhere and where whole dimensions are populated by anthropomorphic funny animals. Where Heaven and Hell are demonstrably real and even accessible, and where angels and demons alike seem to walk the earth with impunity. Imagine a planet where exposure to dangerous radiation granted the gift of super-speed rather than bone cancer, and where the skies were thus filled by flying men and women threatening to blot out the sun. Imagine a place where people were terribly good or terribly bad, with little room for mediocre in between. No, it certainly wouldn’t look very much like the world we live in, but that doesn’t mean it couldn’t be every bit as glorious, touching, sad or scary. [...]

Alan Moore, From the introduction to Saga Of The Swamp Thing trade paperback, 1987

It bugs me so much the way they decided every character published by the same comic book brand should always share the same universe when so many of them were conceived of as their own unique thing in a bubble. Like why are vampires the single biggest threat on earth in THIS guy's life and he almost never sees killer robots, which are an everyday problem to this woman who has never heard of real vampires, and neither of them normally encounter or even talk about the thousands of goofy ass superheroes and supervillains evidently having widely televised destructive battles in every major city on earth every few days. If all this shit in the DCU or the marvel one was really actually happening in the same timeline of the same earth it'd be unreadable chaos every time you stepped outside, a nonsense circus from loony land all the way to the godforsaken horizon, neon underwear guys flying around everywhere bouncing off the fucking walls, mutant kaiju battles and biblical Armageddons and noir gangster wizard demon shootouts with cyborg werewolf bikini ninjas holding up traffic and shit, how the hell would anybody even find five minutes of goddamn peace to have a coffee and a bagel without being interrupted by gods from three different religions wrestling a big centipede that eats time, or whatever happened on your block this morning, let alone hold down an honest 9 to 5 self contained single genre adventure in that kinda batshit clown fire?!
