Love Alfred with a cross bow... BUT COME ON THE JOKE WAS RIGHT THERE, THE PARALLELS, "the son of dracula" vs "the son of hellsing", also let one iteration of Hellsing be a gremilin, a swer rat, the manifestation of obsession turned insanity

it’s literally all about the gentleness, the utter tenderness with which lawrence and adam hold one another even with all that chaos in their wake. it’s about lawrence’s hands, the same hands that picked up the gun, the same hands that sent a bullet into adam’s shoulder, wrapping around adam’s arm to pull him down to lawrence’s level, cupping adam’s face. it’s about adam’s hands, covered in the blood of the man he just killed, gripping lawrence’s shirt, pulling him closer by his shoulder and pressing their foreheads together. it’s about this moment being framed with said body between them as the whole world seems to narrow down to just the two of them. it’s about the contrast, the violence offset by the way they cling to each other and the tenderness offset by the visual evidence of death and destruction around them. it’s about hands that can cause so much damage being used to comfort, to hold. an embrace saturated with blood but an embrace either way. and maybe the blood makes it mean more. maybe

wait im rewatching saw 2004 and as a germaphobe one of the cruelest things i had to watch adam endure was dig around in that toilet ("find anything?" "no solids!" 🤢) anyway so he had just taken out the play me tape out of a ziploc bag and that stuck with me because I was like okay that's something he could use idk for what but for something, and so then that toilet scene happens and im like yelling at my screen adam!!! no!!!!!!!!! use the ziploc bag as a glove ahhhhhhh !! but he just went right in there with only one small moment of hesitation

I’ve got things to do and places to be but I heard this song and HAD to start making an edit I didn’t know how to do (it’s a wip rn and my tech has been bitchy running it so it’s very jagged in some places)

We don’t judge Misty enough for listening to the 2004 movie’s overture when she kidnaps Jessica

i loooooooooooove listening to madonna's 'frozen' and thinking about jiang cheng, because first it's like "you waste your time with hate and regret you're broken when your heart's not open" and "love is a bird she needs to fly let all the hurt inside of you die" and oh yeah, that's that Good Jiang Cheng Shit, but then the song's "you" is complemented by an "i" and now suddenly this narrative is interpersonal and the mind turns to the logistics of it all. how would this situation arise? who would even be saying this to jiang cheng? what on earth could possibly have happened that jiang cheng finds himself being told by someone that "if i could melt your heart we'd never be apart"? and all of the options are so so so so good:

first up, the obvious: demon-siren-ghost lady. i'm not up on my chinese mythology enough to know what the appropriate option would be, but there definitely is one. cultures love coming up with evil monster women who lure innocent, horny men to their untimely demise. and jiang cheng's one of the guys in this world who deals with that kind of shit. and now he's done fucked up and gotten himself ensnared or whatever. perhaps he needs to be rescued. perhaps he just rolls his eyes and goes "yeah tell me something i don't know" and zidians his way out of it no sweat. like i said, the obvious option. but still. You Love To Ponder It.

second option, and perhaps the most in keeping with the tone of the song: some poor, unfortunate woman who's been sent by some guy somewhere to Seduce sandu shengshou for nefarious political purposes of some kind. she's being paid a lot of money. she's very good at this. she's.........pretty desperate at this point. like, seducing jiang wanyin, the proud, fearsome, ambitious, and super repressed head of the yunmeng jiang feels like it should be totally doable if you come at it with the right mindset and tools, and she definitely has the right mindset and tools, but here she is, in jiang cheng's bedroom, throwing everything she's got at this guy and he's giving her nothing. it is deeply painful for everyone involved and i am having a great time.

and then there's my favourite option: jiang cheng's recurring psychosexual nightmare. every night jiang cheng lies down, closes his eyes, and, baby, it is all happening here. we've got wen qing and jiang yanli. we've got wei wuxian and his mom. we've got every auntie and matchmaker who's ever sniffed contemptuously at him and declared him unmarriable. we've got qin su. we've got jin zixuan. hell, we've got jin guangyao, lan xichen, and nie mingjue along for the ride as well, i mean, who hasn't felt some kind of way about those three, amirite? like the gang is all here (jiang fengmian excepted, of course), all rolled into a dazzlingly horrible chimera flashing from facet to facet to facet pleading with him to bend even as it tells him he's broken. and then every day he wakes up, drenched in sweat, and has to get up and receive fantasy ancient china emails. truly the kind of soul-crushingly horrendous but delicious bullshit that makes jiang cheng one of the all-time blorbo greats.

what a song. what a guy. yeah i'll put that baby on repeat for hours and rotate between these three scenarios in hideous glee. god i love being alive.

what if at the time when they tortured Sawyer, Jack and him were already having stuff to some extent. what if

Jack kinda disappointed, having no choice, visibly sad when he lets Sayid do it, even more distraught when Sawyer still pretty much wants them to continue, rushes to save Sawyer when Sayid stabs him

and Sawyer very much looking hurt and sad together with the self-loathing when he looks up at Jack

like he almost stupidly allowed himself to hope Jack wouldn't do it, but also knows he should've expected it to happen because that's what he deserves and that no one will even ask if he has the inhalers at all
