the way i see hickey and goodsir is like. hickey wants goodsir so so badly Specifically Because he knows he's totally immune to all his bullshit and would never ever fuck him. like he canonically likes the Chase so why would not chase the most unavailable guy. but eventually that just starts to piss him off and it leads into a kind of extremely pathetic obsession where hickey thinks he's his Nemesis and goodsir doesn't think about him at all

Not the adnagnews profile managed by some (ex-)tumblr users getting tagged by an actor. Like imagine this dude goes to adnag and tells him, hey I tagged you in the photo. And adnag is like what :)? And starts digging and finds all of us insane people who have been obsessing about him for years

Sundogs - Talk about a moment in the show that interests you most

I've been thinking a lot today about a particular line reading in the final episode, right before the Tuunbaq showdown:

"I can't go back."

It's the way Hickey just sort of blurts it out that I find absolutely fascinating!

Not five seconds earlier he appears to be in full ranting, raving, condescending cartoon villain mode - "You think you're going back...?" but then, even if only for an instant, his whole demeanour changes!

He falters!

There's glint of humanity there, a chink in the armour, fear and shock and trepidation as if the weight of all that's happened and is about to happen suddenly hits him! And it's delicious!

"...I-I can't go back..."

And there's no direction for it in the script either - only a more explicit indication that Hickey is starting to feel the effects of Goodsir's poison than we see in the show. So it seems that may have been a full and very interesting AdNags Acting Choice TM though I wouldn't like to declare that for sure?

I would like to speculate wildly though on the reasoning behind that choice. Is it just the shock of realising that he's come too far and there really is no going back or could it also be fear and dread at the memory of whatever it was he was running from in the first place?

I'd love to know other's thoughts on that actually! <3

*sobbing* daryl dixon is so bad. it feels like it was written by coping every other zombie story but without a drop of creativity. is so boring, so predictable, the characters are so boring. ep 1 dixon arrivies at the nun place, doesn't want to take the *mysteriously special* kid with him. why will he change his mind? but sure the nuns get all killed by a sort of militia that decided the nuns were responsible for the murder of one guy. of course it's the nuns! ep 2 the group has dinner with some kids. there's the most predictable oxigen tanks drop and explosion and then they keep on walking. there was a woman that hid a 7 months pregnancy to her sister, even tho they lived together, and you can't hide a 7th month belly. magical kid has the same origin story as the kid from the last of us. identical + the nuns. who are the people i would trust the most in case of a medical emergency. i mean we all know how nuns these days study anatomy and medicine.

now poor adnag that so far has been given the blandest generic douche boyfriend character!! he was really there trying to pull a face cupping that would make a marine sergeant blush and betray his country, all the while saying 'lets leave your sister on the road while we run'. what person in the world can think this line can work. lets abandon your pregnant sister on the road during a zombie apocalypse. this is just stupid. who would agree? who wrote this line and thought it was a plausible conversation? they just needed to make this scene believable, like pregnant sister is starting to have contractions in the car and then he panics and wants to leave her behind and non-preg sister leaves him. and it makes more human sense like uugh. who can ask a person to leave their sibling during the apocalypse? but this is the level of character depth we have in this show. this is the level of writing we have to witness.

and why everyone has to speak english even when they're between them? even when dixon isn't around. if you don't want them to speak french then don't set the story in france. if you want them to speak english all the time then never make them speak french from the begin and we can just pretend they're speaking the language of the audience. let them speak french!

do we think adnag actually managed to commune with the real spirit of real cornelius "touch my steak knife and i'll kill you" hickey or did he just get possessed by an egregore of e.c. for the television role of quote unquote cornelius hickey. either way something aint right with that boy

[boatswainer]

started chernobyl because i heard it was good and also jharris and ADNAGS IS ALSO IN IT???

ffrmc day 10: instant classic

love is what fires it by Stonestrewn

M/E | hickeygibson | 18k | Rat Wedding Aftermath, Backstory, Resolved Sexual/Emotional Tension

Though he would choose words like gaunt and wan to describe this body he inhabits it is not with self-inflicted malice; Billy will name what he sees, not pretend at handsomeness. He still finds, amidst all his angles, the potential for appeal. Cornelius would tread reverent fingers through his curls, would say, hushed: “Lambswool, this.” - A Cornelius Hickey/Billy Gibson trajectory

So this incredible piece of work is actually 3 fics in a collection, and while any one could be enjoyed on its own I must insist you read your way through the whole thing.

It goes from exploring Gibson's complicated feelings about his own sexuality, to his fraught, almost-reconcillation with Hickey, to an insanely good 8k+ post-Carnivale love scene that works its way through all the bizarre facets of their dynamic and then some.

I've read very few fics that capture Hickey's voice as well as this one; pretty much every line I could hear echoing in my head as if spoken by Adnags himself. And it accomplishes what few hickeygibson fics do - it makes me totally understand why Gibson couldn't give up this horrible little rat man. I mean just read this shit!! "Billy loves him then, despite it all, loves his fine points and his flaws with the same foolish fervour. He loves him for his stubbornness, for his refusal to leave anything be, loves him for his brilliance and his staggering stupidity, for his clear sight and his fumbling ignorance, loves him for his eternal grudges and his vibrant joy, for how once you’ve known him he can never be unknown."

[cyberturbine]

honestly i can imagine adnags larping as a random terror fandom person that posts a lot about hickey and writes about him constantly
