#a murder at the end of the world spoilers

[magical-regical]

I saw someone on twitter make art of how MC slowly gets tired of having Mr Crawling in their house after that one ending since taking care of him would be a whole ordeal.

And it made me very sad because in the art, he really does want to help but he's just not built for it. It also got me thinking, exactly how much of an ordeal would it be to get Mr Crawling to a point where he would pass as a house husband?

In this report I will

TLDR; at the very least, he needs mobility aid, a good washing up, basic language lessons, and a partner with good story telling skills to pass off all his other quirks as disease or accident related deformities.

Full analysis under the moss. Also spoilers.

The things most likely to cause problems are his height, his looks, the language barrier, and the fact that he doesn't walk. (And ig his diet but considering MC's 'hobbies' that's trivial).

So let's go one thing at a time here. His height is probably the easiest thing to sweep under the rug, gigantism is a real condition that can happen to people and as luck would have it, the tallest man in the world needs crutches to walk.

From the incident w/ Mr Stitch we know he can stand up and walk to some extent. He probably just can't stay standing for long. This might be because he's not used to walking and being upright since it probably makes it harder to move around in the Ghost Apartments when your head touches the ceiling or maybe it hurts to walk that's why we only see him do it the one time.

If it's the former case then you'll have to help him get more used to using his legs (kinda like physical therapy) and maybe overtime he'll be able to stand and walk around long enough for a quick café date or a short stroll through the park. He'll probably still need crutches but that won't be strange for someone his height. If it's the latter case where it's a biology thing then pookie will have to sit in a wheelchair, might need a custom wheel chair commissioned to accommodate his build but I'm sure teaching him how to wheel himself around won't be too hard since he's been shown to have good comprehension.

The next glaring thing is his looks. You might have to make him wear a mask whenever he goes outside because of the void inside his mouth. He'll definitely need a good washing up, especially his hair. I've seen many fics of MC washing and taking care of his hair as well as art of his hair being tied in different ways and I subscribe to all of that. He will need a haircut. At least to get rid of any split ends, at most to make sure his hair doesn't trail behind him when he walks. I want to believe he'll trust you enough to give him at least a trim (he'll still have long hair but just not as long ya know?). Couple that with a wardrobe change and he'll fit right in if it wasn't for his eyes.

Speaking of his eyes, does he even have eyes? We know he can see but like ??? Everyone has a different interpretation of what's under those bangs of his. I'm gonna go with the interpretation that the skin around his eyes looks badly burnt because I like the headcanon that he was some lone ronin that was brutally murdered and his eyes were burnt in the process. So it's now up to you to make up a convincing and heart wrenching story of how he was born with a deformity/disorder and then got into a horrible accident that caused his ghastly appearance. Making him wear sunglasses might also be a good way to hide his eyes (or lack of eyes).

The last thing to address would be the language barrier. I believe he's smart enough to pick up human language especially if he's immersed in it. Make him watch a lot of tv lol. It also once again falls to you to teach him how to speak and possibly read and write. His pronunciation doesn't have to be perfect, whatever tragic backstory you cook up for him will be able to cover for that but he has to understand words and hold some form of conversation even if particles aren't in his vocabulary. On the bright side, he'll most likely pick up your accent so that's kind of cute.

Only after all of this then you'll finally be able to start teaching him how to properly clean, cook, and do other household chores. In conclusion, it'll take a great amount of effort and probably money on your part to get him up to snuff.

But you'll do your best right? He surely will. After all, he loves you. He loves you so much he's willing to come to this unfamiliar world with you. You and him, together. Always.

Please don't leave. Please?

BILL FARRAH and DARBY HART in A MURDER AT THE END OF THE WORLD S01 E06 "Crime Seen" (2023)

#aka darbill touches that have rewired my brain chemistry

[det-loki]

they're so cute

[billfarrah]

Something about Bill asking Darby what she wants, being so careful with her, and asking for her consent before they have sex and Bill being so aware and providing Darby with gentle intimacy in a world full of violence toward women. The show refusing to show violence toward women on screen and instead showing Darby being loved and cared for on this journey, the emphasis on the warmth of their human connection in the warmly lit motel rooms and Midwest landscape contrasting with the icy, technology and AI-ridden atmosphere of the retreat.

three episodes into a murder at the end of the world and i am now fairly convinced that

zoomer is actually bill's kid, not andy's

my evidence is thus:

zoomer is blonder than his father, more like lee and bill

that moment in the first episode where bill plays along with zoomer pretending to be a doctor feels significant–why show them interacting so much, you know?

episode four is called "family secrets"

bill found something out he wasn't willing to tell rohan–maybe that he's zoomer's dad?

lee's story about bill and her only having hooked up once and him losing his hard-on feels like when people put too much specific detail in a lie to make it sound real

zoomer is five, just the right age to have been conceived when andy and lee were in the "off" portion of their on-again off-again relationship

bill getting dumped by his hacker gf and then fathering a kid with her idol would be very dramatic

Knowing that Bill's call to David's room lasted 27 seconds, I wonder if Rohan's call to Darby's room was the same length (whether it was truly them or a AI)

[onceuponathreetwoone]

I am loving A Murder at the End of the World but I have two bones to pick after episode 4:

Are we really supposed to be believe that Darby and Rohan walked the distance it took them to snowmobile, drive and trek, there and back?

Was that cliffhanger actually a surprise to anyone? I’d worked it out as soon as Bill interacted with that character in the first episode…it was super obvious, no?

[hotch-girl]

i wish i had watched fargo instead of amateotw. i get what they were trying to do but no

if u want to make it ab the characters then actually develop the characters!!!!!!

A Murder at the End of the World - Chapter 4: Family Secrets

[ominous-horse-noises]

main takeaway from certain fan reactions to the finale is this:

the final scene with ankarna was so meaningful to the bad kids' arcs and how they made peace with being wronged by people they loved, and if all you can focus on is that the rat grinders didn't get much screentime, then you don't love dimension20 and you don't love this world: you want to be playing your own hs themed dnd campaign and you're mad the oc versions of the rat grinders you made up in your head acted ooc. these are not your characters and this is not their story.

It is original thought, more than money, oil, or even water, that will determine if there is a future to be had. ⇁ A Murder at the End of the World Chapter 1: Homme Fatale

BTS vs Actual Scene

[det-loki]

the way bill and darby are constantly gravitating toward one another and invading each others personal space with these charged looks is killing me. they're magnetic

[billfarrah]

After watching the first two episodes of A Murder at the End of the World, I just wanna say how happy and excited I am that they didn't make Darby your typical intelligent but emotionless and cold protagonist. I love that she's not just another Lisbeth Salander. She's smart, techy and definitely guarded, but I love how often we get to see her smile and geek out over things - whether it's over her hero Lee or Bill, how we see her smiling while she's texting Bill and when they're flirting, or over her loving The Simpsons. It's so refreshing that we see her soul as much as we do her intellect and she isn't just another typical "emotionless girl" protagonist. The giddy smile we see from her when she finally meets Bill at the end of episode 2 is so endearing. She's morbid and digs up dead bodies in her spare time and is preoccupied with solving mysteries but we still get to see her be a giddy teenager.

Anyway I've only had Darby for one day but if anything happens to her I'll kill everyone in the room including mysef.
