milchick nation status report (or: what s2e7 means for everyone that wasn't in it)

reddit is a lot better at connecting dots and deciphering inferences so i'll leave that work for this ep to them. but what stood out to me, from a character + plot analysis perspective, was the introduction of fucking orin scrivello D.D.S. (dr mauer? if that's his real name?) - and not just because he seems like a cool antagonist!!!

point is, he IS an antagonist!!! a new one!!! a major one!!!

and his introduction is so important to the rest of the plot because it's another step in allowing this to finally happen-- hold on, one second-- (i struggle to drag out an extremely creaky whiteboard with a broken wheel)

(using a laser pointer) now i wouldn't hold my breath for the episode of severance where milchick & cobel suddenly realise the error of their ways + join forces with MDR and plant a bomb under the lumon gym or whatever. BUT. we've seen both have their loyalty and dedication to the company undermined throughout their time as manager(s) of the severed floor. having to question their faith in kier. cobel destroying her basement shrine. milchick's imminent crashout.

what i'm saying is that, whilst they previously were responsible for the role of major/minor antagonist in season 1, their character arcs are becoming increasingly complex. BUT if their characters were to evolve, that leaves us without a clear antagonist. (sure, the Concept of lumon is the overarching antagonist, but you do also sort of need a guy who represents that.)

enter: DR MAUER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it's been one episode and this guy is already giving off incredible crazy RANCID toxic vibes. cannot wait to see what they do with his character. but most importantly - cannot WAIT to see what happens with milchick + cobel now that they're free of the obligation to serve the plot as antagonists. let's get fucking NUANCED baby

9, 11, and 14 for the game😋

AGH HELLO LOVE!!!

9.) What's your favorite scene/ moment from the book?

OGH! See that's a tough one 'cause I have quite a few that spin around my brain all the time. I wanna say the first one that comes to mind is just before the rumble where Soda's chantin' "I'm a hood! I'm a delinquent! I mar the streets of this good city! And boy do I have fun!" (not exact quote but somethin' similar) AGH I love that boy 'n I think about how the three brothers view bein' a greaser so vastly differently ALL the time😭 A few honorable mentions for when Johnny 'n Pony show up at Buck's 'n Dallas instantly gets on Pony for bein' all wet 'cause he was gonna get pneumonia 'n Darry was gonna kill him, the whole beginin' where Pony absently mentions he draws Dallas when he's angry 'cause it's easiest to capture him that way 'n when he calls Darry cold followed up STRAIGHT away with Darry makin' him put a band aide on his cut. Sure Pone. He hates ya.

11.) What's your opinion on the movie?

Man I love that stupid goddamn movie so much. I've watched it more times than I could count 'n forced a good number of my buds to watch it too. The castin' was so good 'n I feel like they managed to capture the energy of the book so well. I know some of y'all ain't gonna like this but I think The Outsiders movie was probably one of the greatest book -> movie adapts I've seen. I think my ONE gripe has gotta be the castin' for Dallas. Or maybe not even the castin' as much as I was real fond of blond, long-haired, blue-eyed, loser Dallas. Somethin' about his white ash hair 'n unsettlin' eyes 'n the fact that that sets him aside visually as an outsider in the gang even more than he already is.

15.) 5 head canons I basically see as canon

1.) The Shepard's 'n Johnny are all POC. For Johnny it's at least partially canon but in my mind the Shepard's will always 'n forever be POC.

2.) The Curtis' all have freckles. Soda has 'em year round, Pony has a few all year but gets 'em mostly in summer, 'n Darry only gets a handful in summer.

3.) Pony has a fear of the water post canon. He can't go near fountains or pools. For a good amount of time he couldn't even bring himself to go near a shower. he'd flinch when the tap came on. it was brutal.

4.) Soda never leaves Tulsa for any significant amount of time. He's the only Curtis brother to do so. Pony goes to college. Darry moves out of Tulsa. Not far (he wasn't made to go far from home. even if his parents had lived. Darry will come back one day. his center of gravity. his black hole) Soda will never leave. He never wanted to.

5.) a technical adjustment to canon I am ALWAYS ignorin is that the gang doesn't spend a significant amount of time together. (Steve spends most nights at his own home. Same with Two. Johnny doesn't hang around the Curtis' 'cause he doesn't wanna be a bother. Pony mentions they all have separate groups they hang with. He mentions both him n Darry dont really fw Dallas.) WRONG. in my heart they will always m forever be in that livin room. they're family. their world orbits the Curtis home.

6.) (bonus 'cause the last few were kinda sad so sorry that's my b) Johnny is so goddamn feral. Pony has fallen for his big wet eyes n pathetic vibes n managed to miss that Johnny is a tuff greaser who smokes n fights n loves a good five finger discount. maybe he's not nearly as bad as some of the others but that kid can be a lil shit. as a treat.

[ID: Digital artwork featuring a collection of ocs with arthropod familiars. The 1st image is a lineup of 4 adults, including (left to right): A ducky isopod man named Tito Chen with a pompadour, sunglasses, and flashy suit, a shorter man named Dante-Enriquez Rivera with a toadbug familiar, curly hair in a bun, facial hair, and suspenders, a person named Blizzard Dunkley with a buzz-cut, agrias butterfly familiar, long blue coat, red-and-blue glasses, and large earrings, and finally a woman named Yolanda Sali with a harvestman familiar, in a nurses coat, stethoscope around her neck. Next drawing features 2 new adults, the first of which is named Maikel Miguel Patagara, who has multi-colored hair, prominent freckles, overalls and a prosthetic on their right foot, alongside a cayenne tick familiar. The second iteration of vim has eye shadows and an unhappier expression, and two prosthetic for each foot, seemingly home-made unlike the previous one. Zi is also wearing a necklace with a giant cat-eye type jewel, alongside a coat that’s on the 2nd person in the drawing - a little note mentions that this is xyr look “after Ireneo died”. Ireneo (Maria) Ressa, the 2nd person, has short grey hair, a long, fluffy coat, black cloth gloves, and some vitiligo, alongside a sowbug familiar. He's holding a notebook, pen tucked behind eir ear, and the 2nd iteration shows them without the coat. The final drawing is a doodle dump of Ireneo and Maikel mostly, showing such things as: them at a bar, Ireneo’s arm around Maikel’s shoulders as she says, ��Hey me & my partner saw you from across the bar and we think your vibe sucks ass. Can we beat you up”, them kissing, Maikel at a pottery wheel while Ireneo watches, their familiars with hearts around them, and finally Maikel holding a phone up to their ear and saying, “Hey could you come pick me up they’re pelting me with rotten fruit in the town square again”.

as for the rest of the ep…

Chalynn truthers we won. we fucking won 🍾🍾🍾

Lois trying to talk Ned into making peace w/ Michael and Drew sounds REAL funny knowing that drew and Michael r still planning on pushing him out of ELQ again. fuck those two forever actually, y’all can make peace in hell

speaking of drewfus, I wish I could be glad he’s leaving but it’s not for very long and crew is gonna be annoying abt it I’m sure. this version of drew is such a shell of himself that anytime hes brought up I just feel disgusted 😖

I’m getting tired of Sonny bringing up Carly when talking to nina it just feels WEIRD… I really don’t wanna see a Carson reunion but it’s starting to feel like the pikeman/cyrus bs might end up being the catalyst for one… sonaritas should we be worried. 😟

also Tolly agreeing to use krissy as the surrogate… wasn’t there literally a whole argument against doing this months back that resulted in tolly icing krissy out for several weeks…? once again I must assert this whole surrogate storyline is a load of barnacles

After watching a lot of furry youtube and following a weird train of thought. I have concluded that Asmodai is a furry. No one else in the chapter knows. Not because he's ashamed of being a furry. But because he has a reputation to uphold. Of course the rest of the inner circle finds out when he logs into the sanctioned zoom call with his alt account.

Loid, in that one ski chapter: My wife, who is occasionally capable of terrifying, unexplainable acts of violence, is sweet and innocent and can in no way be involved in this murder :)

(via SEC now requires companies to disclose cyberattacks in 4 days)

This will help consumers immensely, many companies have withheld this information for months, or years in the past.

You know you’ve probably already seen it’s not just tumblr that has naked Ichiban it’s Twitter too… haven’t checked Instagram.

‘You’ve probably already seen’ is the grossest understatement of the century. I cannot scroll five posts without seeing ichiass. My timeline has been nothing but ichiban’s bare cheeks. I can’t go a moment without being graced with the pesence of ichiban’s cake, and brother i aint talking about the one they made for his birthday
