#Season H8

[edwardsissyhandsthtdanceslikeabb]

i love how carmy is willing to blow up his relationship, completely change the restaurant and subject them all to psychological torture bc "this is what you wanted right?"

syd wants a star, she wants a worldclass restaurant and it doesn't matter if she wrecked things in season 1 or if she's green and overzealous or he thinks a star is silly, he wants success for her and it's a non-negotiable.

Time with you moves so slow, so quick

A pouring of love, so deep, so thick

Can it be bottled?

Any which way, please, to preserve it? How do I put some away for later?

How do I save that which must be enjoyed temporarily, seasonally? How do I savor my favorite flavor until the spice has reached its shelf date; how do I freeze the meal I waited for and will nonetheless wait for again?

I suppose some things are meant to be enjoyed fresh, and not again until you harvest in the new season.

Are all farmers filled with this anxiety through their prosperity? Do all farmers feel this blessed?

I h8 when you reach the covid season of a show

[blitzwhore]

So. Stolas is an alcoholic. That much is very clear at this point in the show and has been for a while now. He binge-drinks to cope with depression and with his life problems at large.

What's interesting is that he's far from the only character in Blitzø's life who is an alcoholic. In fact, substance abuse seems to be a recurring theme in the show. At least three other people Blitzø was or is really close with (potentially four, if we count his father) have struggled with substance abuse: Verosika, Barbie, and Fizz.

And the show has made a very clear point that both Verosika and Barbie have been in rehab. Not just that, but it's also emphasised that they're both still struggling with addiction (Verosika still drinks at her concerts, "clutches onto Beelzejuice bottles like they're the last cock in hell", and writes magazine articles about binge drinking being sexy; Barbie still peddles heroine, though not H8). Clearly, for both of them, this is an ongoing issue presently in the show.

So, with all of that being said, I recently saw someone theorise that, in a future season, Stolas is going to go to rehab, too.

I thought it was certainly a possibility, and one that I would personally love to see explored. So I've been thinking about it... and I remembered this:

The beginning of Unhappy Campers, and Blitzø breaking into rehab to go visit Barbie.

Now, I think a lot of people (myself included) felt surprised and a bit disappointed the first time we watched this episode, because our initial assumption was that Blitzø was trying to visit Stolas. It just made sense! Stolas was hospitalised right at the end of the previous episode and texted Blitzø that he could visit if he wanted to. (At this point, we also didn't know Blitzø had trauma surrounding visiting loved ones at hospitals). And suddenly they hit us with Blitzø seeking out Barbie out of the blue? So many of us were left wondering... why? Yeah, people have mentioned that maybe feeling like he could've lost Stolas prompted Blitzø to try to mend a different broken relationship, one that he felt he had more chances of fixing. But the timing, as well as the non-immediate revelation that it's Barbie he's looking for, is still... strikingly suspicious, isn't it?

And just now, after all this time, it hit me.

What if this is foreshadowing?

What if, all along, they were telling us Blitzø will visit Stolas at the hospital in the future... when Stolas is in rehab?

Do I really need to say it here that Micah Bell has a warning label? Out of all the Van der Linde Gang outlaws, Micah is clearly the most dangerous. He doesn't just have a warning label, he is a warning label. Please take precautions before contacting.

When you're going to invoke him, it's a good idea to look out for...

Signs:

Hear:

The shot of a Colt M1892

The clopping of horses' hooves

The crackling of a campfire

The unhingedness of laughter

The buzzing of a forest at night

The music of a bluegrass banjo

Smell:

The bitterness of cigarette smoke

The sourness of gunpowder

The ruggedness of leather

The smokiness of whiskey

The fear from an enemy's flesh

The metallicness of blood

Feel:

The toughness of calloused fingertips

The coldness of a revolver per hand

The prickliness of spurs

The heat of a bonfire

The warmth of worn leather

The roughness of a weathered saddle

See:

The glow of a fuel-burning lantern

The transportation of a horse

The flickering of shadows on trees

The rising of smoky wisps into the sky

The drifting of fireflies into the night

The smoldering coals of a fire pit

Taste:

The tartiness of vinegar

The saltiness of sweat

The smoothness of Jack Daniel's

The sharpness of fresh tobacco

The toastiness of a charred marshmallow

The lingering capsaicin of a pepper

These signs are to only be looked out for if you can’t visualize him in your mind's eye.

Clown-O-Meter:

Does He Do Any Pranks?: Countless. Most of his pranks are either offensive or extremely violent, carried out with a slasher smile and insane laughter, with no way of knowing just what will set him off. However, there are a few moments that aren't like that, such as when he told Jack that he would give him a dollar if he asked Arthur Morgan about the pole stuck up his ass.

What Are His Emo Moments?: He's an insomniac who thinks that sleep is overrated, his brooding nature is reflected in his worldview and his memories of his past, and his demeanor is marked by a sense of unrest and unpredictability.

Does He Have A Stage Presence?: Micah delivers his lines with a distinct confidence, and he is self-assured and imposing. For instance, the way he leans against objects, smirks, and uses his hands while talking all contribute to this image. He thrives on chaos and confrontation, and his actions frequently lead to dramatic showdowns.

Does He Have A Clown Cult?: Yes, he has what technically could be called a "clown cult" made of cowpokes, namely Cleet and Joe.

Would He Be Part Of A Killer Clown Version of Rebel Clown Army?: More than definitely. Micah has a deep-seated hatred of authority figures, and has no qualms about disobeying orders or taking matters into his own hands. He also openly defies law enforcement and the government, viewing them as oppressive forces. His guns were even stolen from a police officer who attempted to arrest him.

Did He Kill One Of His Family Members?: According to @miguel-owhora, the Bell family straight-up murders each other once they've grown tired of one another. Micah killed his father, and then he went after Amos and his family, just for fun and for the sake of the family tradition.

What Is His Kill Count?: 666

Overall (out of five): 🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈

Additional Notes:

Disclaimer: Unlike how I was for Dutch, I'm not going to defend myself this time because I don't think there is a defense for this. I still encourage those who hate Micah to block me, but if you send anon hate my way, maybe I deserve it. I personally think that Micah brainwashes people who hate him the most into people who love him the most. I feel... mindfucked. I don't even know what happened, and apparently, neither does anyone else who is a fan of him. All I know for sure is that I love him, and I started doing that at a time when I was suffering from night terrors, and needless to say, he shot all of my dream demons, and for that, I will be forever grateful and indebted to him. Now, my Additional Notes this time will have a different format as it is essentially a list of my defenses for him. It is important to know that Micah's energy differs from fan to fan as we all have different beliefs about him and defenses for him.

Did Micah Betray The Gang?: While you'll find that MANY fans agree that he did, my answer is that he didn't, Milton lied. I've always found it odd that no one could put an exact time window on it and agree with said time window. I've also always found it odd that, when faced with law enforcement, many people agree with the officer's statements rather than do their own homework — both in-game and in real life. Despite believing this even before watching the video, I think this video does better explaining than I can.

"Hey, Your Blog Says That You DNI With Bigots But Micah Is One. Are You Hypocritical"?: Actually, no, I'm not. Let me tell you something that may come as a shock to you: Arthur Morgan's fanbase is filled to the brim with Trumpites (although he himself isn't). Micah Bell has been very supportive of transmacs, and he was only racist and misogynistic just to be spiteful. His "bigotry" is the equivalent of those kids on Xbox Live who use the N-Words. For example, he kept calling Sadie the name "Hellfire" and became friendly towards Javier.

Why Did Micah Kill Cain?: His hatred towards dogs is definitely rooted in some incident from the past, maybe a childhood event or such. I certainly know how it feels to hold a grudge against all dogs after being bit by one at a young age. Would that excuse him killing Cain? No, but there's a lot of things that most of the gang members have done that aren't excusable. On a better note, he loves other animals, such as horses and cats. So, if you're planning on working with his energy, make sure that you don't have any dogs nearby.

Did Micah Hurt Jenny?: This is a heavy topic for me considering the fact that I am a victim of SA myself (as are other Micah fans). I'm going to say that he only said that after her death because she was dead and couldn't refute his story. He is a man to brag and isn't one to go quiet about any achievement, so the fact that he only mentions it then is a little suspicious, wouldn't you agree? I think that he was only pissed off that girls kept rejecting him, which caused him to spew all of that out. I mean, just look how heartbroken he was after that interaction with Mary Beth.

Which Type Of Witches Would Micah Work Best With? The ones that play Five Finger Fillet for a living while wearing leather jackets and listening to AC/DC, Mötley Crüe, or Metallica, or participate in some other thrill; likewise, also ones who need his protection or guidance to grow a set. There is no wrong type of witch except for those who are too unprepared or too yellow to contact him, or those who hate him. For those who do work with him, it is to be remembered that he thinks that you're beautiful in all of your chaotic ways and can't wait for the next ritual.

Regardless if you find yourself agreeing with me or not, one thing is clear: Micah Bell is revealed to be a very overhated misunderstood outlaw who, in fact, is both a Cinnamon Roll (kinda) and BAMF, once you do some digging into his story (...or are brainwashed, however you look at it...). He is a makeupless clown, a clown outlaw and "court jester" (as Arthur called him) who never had to go to the circus or clown school to prove his killer clown chaotic hilarity. And with that, I leave these pieces of information here so you can do what you want with them: either work with his energy or not. The choice is yours.

[justchillandshipit]

I read an article where Tim was interviewed, and it mentioned how scripts are written within a couple of weeks of filming. Was there a change throughout season 7 that indicates he is now more interested in telling a Tommy/Buck story? No hatefulness. It's okay to not like every ship. I have my preferences too, but no H8 please.
