Killing Eve Twitter Used To Be A Thing and When It Was, It Was Glorious*

*I refer to Killing Eve Twitter in the past tense as I am no longer on it because Elmo Musty is an evil fuck. For all I know Killing Eve still retains a lively and engaged fanbase on The Social Media Website Formerly Known As Twitter. I doubt that is so, but I can't state it as a fact.

Another one for my anti Jock!Dean propaganda to combat some of the early seasons writers who thought he would be a jock if he grew up normal (? Even though they wrote him like That?) is the man actually hates exercise and fitness to the point where even though it would make sense for him to be a fitness bro because of his penchant for hyper masculinity, he somehow twists it in his own mind to be 'feminine' and makes fun of Sam for his health obsession and fitness kick (Sam, of course, uses fitness and health as a way to micromanage his own body into being pure on account of the violation of being fed demon blood as a newborn and subsequent trauma of thinking he is unclean and bad his whole life likely because John always suspected him of being abnormal and treated him as such. Also probably the shame associated with his demon blood spiral, which was actually another attempt to gain a sense of autonomy as it started when Dean was dead and none of the crossroads demons would help bring him back and continued when he found out he was meant to be Lucifer's vessel, he was using the demon blood to feel powerful and useful in defiance of the destiny set out before him).

Anywayyyy I think Dean's brief stint as a highschool wrestling club champion had more to do with Sonny's approval and using the skills taught to him by his father in a nonviolent and ultimately "selfish" way, much akin to Sam's demon blood, as an attempt for autonomy. John's way of life very much indoctrinated Dean into the mindset that his body and skills be used as a line of defense against the supernatural in service of the family mantra of "saving people, hunting things". His body is a tool and it should be used to help other people. Using his body and his skills to win competitions as a wrestler only really serves Dean as it only celebrates Dean's skill for what it is not what it can do for other people. In that way, I believe his one foray into jockhood had more to do with defiance of a father figure and the approval of a substitute father figure (Sonny) than with being a jock itself. He did it because he was good at it and he craves positive reinforcement and praise and because it went against what his whole life had been up until that point.

(Another Sam rant but Sam was very much shoehorned into the role as the researcher and the smart kid because John and Dean were trying to protect him and shelter him from the life as much as they were able. He grew up lonely and left out and with that feeling that there was something other and wrong about him so of course he threw himself into research as a way to be useful. And being disillusioned from a young age to the realities of being a hunter, of course he created his own path and safety net out of the life, through schooling and academics and the skill that his family had so far allowed him to hone which was his mind. All this to say the Jock!Dean propaganda is usually set up as a way to reflect Sam's nerdiness but Sam was only a nerd as an escape mechanism and as they both settle into themselves as adults and eventually as adults with a home (the bunker), it's Dean that has more of the stereotypical adult nerd/geek/weirdo traits, notably the special interests that people make fun of him for whereas Sam went in the opposite direction and in embracing the life kind of lost his sense of self a little toward the end, like the only thing we really learn about him as an adult is that he's a true crime buff and he likes the music of that one guy Lucifer possessed.)

literary fiction writers be like: “and here’s a 5-page description of an empty room. why? because it’s symbolic. of what? idk, but that’s for you to figure out.”

As a form of entertainment and escapism I overanalyze fictional characters, used to do it on the dumpster fire social, now I'm here and it's the turn of Penelope Featherington (and the possibility of a friendship with Sophie Baek).

Much has been said about the character and I agree with the takes from people that dislike her show version (why the writers had to butcher like this a character that was lovely in the book? Why?). For my contribution, I would like to add two additional people that are not discussed as being impacted by LW's pen (and I admit it's a little bit of a stretch). This two characters are Amanda and Oliver Crane.

The thing is we've been told various time, especially through Lady Mary, that the ton has a long memory (spanning more than 20 years) and that it has the tendency to look down upon those of lower birth, we've seen it with the comments about Edwina and Kate's father in S2 E1.

If the "shame" of her elopement followed Lady Mary for so long, then the scandal of their illegitimacy will follow Oliver and Amanda just as much. Thanks to Penelope publicly shaming their mother because she was jealous of Colin, they will always have the mark of not being fully part of the ton. And while this may not be that much of a problem for Oliver because he will inherit the estate, it will definitely make Amanda's life more difficult.

Now, I'm aware that this is kind of a stretch but I've been thinking about it in the context of the relationship that may exist between Penelope and my beloved Sophie Baek. FROM THIS MOMENT, THERE WILL BE SPOILERS FROM BOOK 3, BE WARNED. Sophie is an illegitimate child, her status as a bastard daughter brings immense suffering upon her and immense dangers (I would argue she is the Bton character that suffered the most), she is extremely aware about how illegitimacy, especially for girls, can be a sentence to a life of suffering because she lived it and she would have done everything to avoid the same fate for her own children. Another trait of Sophie's (definitely one of the least important traits to the character) is that she enjoys reading the book version of LW because it gives her a glimpse into the life she could have had had the circumstances of her life been different. Now I've seen people inflate this trait by saying that Sophie was a LW's stan, that she should go to the ball because she wants to meet LW or work for P as she is her greatest fan and I cannot stress enough how much I hope they won't create a friendship between Sophie and Penelope.

Why I hope so? Because Sophie's greatest characteristics are her unshakable morals and her kindness, she is what one would call a girl's girl. And I cannot fathom her wanting to strike a friendship with someone that shamed a woman (Marina) for being in a situation not dissimilar to her own mother and attached a mark of shame and ridicule to two children that is the same as her own. Amanda and Oliver, much like Sophie, will always have to deal with the fact that they are sinners of a crime for which they have no fault.

Now, I know that I shouldn't hype this hope too much because this show's tagline should be "everyone must kiss Penelope's arse and we don't care about how out of character that is" so they'll probably overinflate Penelope's importance once again and force the friendship to happen but a girl can hope (and when canon doesn't deliver, fanon always does).

PS: seeing the discourse I've seen going on I need to make a disclaimer, I have absolutely nothing against Nicola, quite the opposite I like her and I think she is a really good actress. I just don't like the show version of Penelope, a fictional character.

I kinda agree with the anon that said Ian and Anthony dont feel like they’d be friends. Obviously there’s so many types of friendship but it feels like in the time they spent apart they grew into very different ppl and maybe they are very close (thats what we’re told anyway) but I feel like when they bought back Smosh they very much went back to “it’s like we’re 17 again!” And now they’ve realized it isn’t always like that. Like I wonder if part of Anthony not being on camera as much anymore is because of them growing apart a little along with all the other stuff. it also kinda feels like they bought Smosh back and then merged the two companies so now it feels almost like Ian’s more in charge of everything that Anthony is. Anthony feels almost more disconnected, sometimes he’ll repost Smosh TikTok’s and stuff on instagram but thats about it in terms of him acknowledging Smosh. I feel a little bad about speculating and talking about all this but at the same time they haven’t given us any clear answers so what else is there to do other than speculate? It’s really hard to just accept all these changes and move on without any actual answers

It does feel that way. Tbh they don't share any interests if you think about it, Ian would talk about trash tv Anthony would talk about yoga, Ian would talk about gossip and Anthony would roll his eyes and talk about zen. When I look at this way they're so opposites on so many stuff. I seen Ian talking about parties and Anthony rolling his eyes talking about how he loves home the best etc. Ian likes to go improve classes with Smosh for example and Anthony would just stay at home painting. I saw Ian begging Anthony to go traveling to Europe or Turkey or somewhere else but as far as we know it never happened. Or Ian kept pushing Anthony to watch dune 2 for like weeks and he didn't, he prefers to watch gaming youtube videos instead.

So like i think nostalgia and love brought them together and kept them together for a while but after some time they realized they're not really that similar and they're not 17 anymore. Like i don't think Anthony is big on humor/comedy atp. So he doesn't enjoy being on the channel much. I hope they spent time together but atp i don't know if they're doing it actually or like they're that compatible. That's just my opinion tho who knows 🤷🏻

Also like you said if they don't give us explanation all we have is speculation, it's inevitable. And about the companies merging i actually feel bad about Ian in that case not Anthony. Because when Anthony came back Ian talked about how he's so happy he came back how he doesn't like being the boss and it's too stressful and Anthony said dw I'm here we're gonna do it together. Instead he just put his channel on Ian's shoulders and left that to Ian too. So no empathy for him sadly 🤷🏻
