Honestly I cannot overstate how much seeing Hayden as TCW Anakin changed EVERYTHING. Matt Lanter's Anakin is a frat dude. He wears a backwards baseball hat and says vaguely offensive things without realizing, while being a fundamentally chill and outgoing guy at heart. Hayden's Anakin is... not that. His voice. His expressions. His physical presence. It's off somehow. It's just left of normal. It's completely unremarkable and yet deeply uncanny for reasons you can't quite describe. TCW Anakin was always a flatter, blander portrayal, but I don't think I realized until now what exactly was missing: the serial killer energy. The inarticulable conviction that SOMETHING unhinged is going on behind those eyes.

You're here because of me. People like you, they're not let in. You're a leader, what we call an 'A'. If you are allowed to live in the city, you won't work, farm, shop, read. No. You'll look for answers. You'll ask what happened here, and why, and to whom, and you'll seek justice based on a feeling in your gut, a feeling you can't name. But what if I told you there was only one way to get those answers, those secrets, only one way to understand the whole picture? Would you take it? THE WALKING DEAD: THE ONES WHO LIVE | S1E3: Bye

manifesting this year's christmas special is greta hofmann all cozy on a armchair right next to a fireplace and it's a several hour long video of her just reading out loud the wikipedia synopses of various opera synopses in the same droning deadpan voice of hers in chapter 6 when she read tosca.

God I'm obsessed with how Curly gives Anya and Jimmy the exact same reassurances, down to the phrasing. Dude is trying so hard to play both sides, despite this being a situation where 1) he has to take a side, there's no actual way to fix things for both of them, and 2) there is absolutely a morally correct side to take here.

He's just. Saying the same shit. He's going to Fix This. (More specifically, "We" are going to Fix This.) What does "fixing it" even mean? Does "fixing it" for Anya mean making an unplanned stop so she can get an abortion and get away from Jimmy? Does it mean just trying to emotionally support her through the rest of the trip and helping her find work and deal with her unwanted child afterwards? What about Jimmy? Is "fixing it" for him covering up the whole thing to protect both their reputations? Is it just helping him get through whatever legal ramifications follow and get back on his feet afterward? How many of these options will actually benefit both Anya and Jimmy? Do any of these options actually "fix this" rather than just attempt to deal with the consequences? Maybe "fixing it" means magically changing the past so Jimmy never raped Anya in the first place. Who knows?

There's no way to know what Curly means here because he never actually says what he's going to do. I don't think Curly knows what he means here. His desperate insistence that he's going to fix everything, much like Jimmy's own later on, is just a lot of empty promises. Curly wants a perfect solution, one where he can keep the peace and help both Anya and Jimmy and fix everything, but there isn't one — there's just the difficult, imperfect solutions, the ones that will force him to actually take risks and lose something he values no matter what, the ones that acknowledge that the damage that has been done can never be undone.

If he actually wanted to help Anya, he'd have to actually do something about Jimmy, even if it meant losing his friendship with him or worse; by letting Jimmy get away with it, he's betraying Anya as well as basic morals. Purely by not doing anything, he's already taken Jimmy's side, whether he actually intends to try to help Jimmy avoid consequences in the end or not, but he won't even admit that's what he's doing — instead he keeps just trying to appease them both with the idea of that perfect, miraculous solution. It's going to be okay. They'll get through it. They'll figure this out. They can fix this.

And it doesn't work! Neither Anya nor Jimmy actually believes him! They both can tell perfectly well that Curly can't back up any of the reassurances he's giving them. Anya knows Curly isn't actually going to protect her from Jimmy; that's why she hides the gun and refuses to tell him where it is. Jimmy knows Curly can't or won't actually help him avoid all consequences here; that's why he instead decides to crash the ship and kill everyone.

Curly won't act, so they do, and while Anya is only trying to keep herself safe in what few ways she can, Jimmy is an incredibly dangerous man who is second-in-command of the ship and has no compunctions about abusing his power. Curly thinks he's playing both sides, but the sides were never even close to equal. Curly's inaction manifests as keeping the code for the gun from Anya because it's dangerous but allowing Jimmy continued access to the ship's controls because it doesn't even occur to him not to. By sitting back and hoping for a perfect solution that doesn't exist, Curly gives Jimmy the opportunity to find his own solution, the worst possible one. Curly was right: they fixed it, together, and he let Jimmy choose the method.

batman: shadow of the bat #0

[ID: a flashback of the outside of Wayne Manor at night. A narration box (unrelated to the scene) reads, “Ya think he's got a guardian angel, or somethin'?” Inside the manor, Leslie Thompkins and Alfred Pennyworth are talking in regards of young Bruce Wayne. They sit in a magnificent library at a small table as Bruce sits at his own desk that's across the room and has his face buried in a book. Alfred reassures her, “— Worried about him, Doctor Thompkins? I can assure you there's no need! Master Bruce has the manor to live in — myself to look after him — the best education money can buy—”. Leslie cuts Alfred off before he can continue rambling out more examples. She tells him, “It's what he doesn't have that bothers me, Alfred. Friends — hobbies — the kind of life a normal teenager looks forward to. He spends all his time in the gym, or here reading. I don't think he ever recovered from his parents' death.” We're shown Bruce, now in a close-up and able to see the book he's reading is titled ‘Lip Reading For Beginners’. Bruce peers over the book intensely as Leslie continues to express her rightful concern, “He almost seems obsessed!” END ID]

Teen Wolf as Horror Subgenres

Season six B: Cosmic Horror

[revenantghost]

I think it's honestly kind of hilarious how Midvalley knows he's a numbered Gung Ho Gun with these "freaks," but he refuses to count himself among them

I've seen a lot of people point out how Wolfwood and Midvalley foil each other (which is incredibly true--very few, if any, important characters in Trigun don't work as foils, because they are all foils to the main themes before anything else), but for me, this is one of their biggest differences.

Midvalley counts himself as a man among monsters.

Wolfwood considers himself a monster prowling among mankind.
