i may have been sick for like 5days but the brain doesnt stop the payneland thoughts

so i have this fun little idea (for a fic?) where a slightly in the future, post s1 payneland are newly in a relationship, kinda honeymoon phase.

and they end up with another case that turns out to involve a demon and portals. and when theyre banishing the demon something else happens to crawl out of hell at the same time....

its a past! altnerate universe Edwin! who was finally escaping hell! but whoopsie hes ended up in the wrong universe? (or perhaps the future? .. but current! Edwin doesnt remember this..)

so of course past au! Edwin is like 'aw fuck now hells just getting weird, and i gotta deal with myself?? and a random beautiful guy clinging to other me??'

and current! Edwin is like 'oh dear i do not want this absolute messy fresh out of hell version of me interacting with Charles... weve got to put him back.'

Charles upon realising this is just another Edwin and not a trick is like 🥺 'aw Edwin we gotta help him, obviously were gonna make sure he meets up with his Charles right??'

and is of course immediately trying to reassure this Edwin that he got out of hell and hes safe and theyll help him get to where he should be (with his Charles)

(past au! Edwin is faced with this version of himself that is put together and doesnt seem as messed up-- bc this is raw straight out of hell, hasnt interacted with normal things in 70 years Edwin--- and this other/future version has somehow managed to land this incredible guy as a best friend.. and what seems to be more.

Is it weird to be jealous of yourself?? And even if he allegedly has his own version of Charles.. thats not this Charles who is so kind to him now.

Edwin seeing everything he could have ever wanted right before his eyes (and its not his). And he is afraid of leaving because surely this is some sort of heavenly dream and it already took so much to get out of hell. Now he has to find the unknown and hope? That his own future is just as wonderful. That he has a Charles just like this one.)

thinking about that moment in s3 ep 10 where trudy and francis are finding understanding in one another over their shared violent rage towards their respective abusers and meanwhile kelsey just starts talking about brian shushing her and trudy getting like mildly angry because kelsey is trying to comment on/relate to their desire to get revenge on the people who hurt them when she clearly hasnt gone through the same trauma ON TOP OF kelsey having an abnormal amount of agency for a middle-aged woman in the 50's (especially compared to trudy) seeing that she is unmarried, has her own career that she loves, is a prolific reader, and can beat the ever loving fuck out of a competitive male boxer with her own two hands aka all of the things that trudy could've had but were taken away from her

the humorous (but also morbid) irony of Malevolent just dawned on me that we see Arthur coming to terms with a divine being living as a voice in his head...whilst we have both Arthur and John's voices in our own head as an audience to it all listening to this podcast.

They are beard twins.

Also, I think they would be friends.

hiii so what do you think mark winters did immediately after finding his wife murdered and little baby responsible. i think he ran, personally. grabbed ashe and got a hotel room and never managed to actually go back. that sorta thing. but i wanna know what your thoughts on the widowed blond boy are 🎤

- @suckinitup

you're gonna call me so fucked up for this but unpopular opinion I don't think they moved <3 i think the house they're in in season 1 is the same house she died in <3 I think they did go to the cabin for a while afterward but then. i mean. they had to go home eventually. had 2 fuckign. rip up the carpet in ashes bedroom bc he couldn't get the bloodstains out. couldn't hire anyone else to do it bc who the fuck would clean something like that up without question? 1 billion more layers of hurt on top of the fact that ashe had to stay there in that house for as long as he did. uhhhhh I wrote this out somewhere once before but I don't feel like finding it now but . he reported her death as a rogue villain attack. to the police/heroes it was "I didnt see who did it, just heard the window smash and came in and Ashe was alive and she wasnt" they Never Found The Guy because he doesn't exist. Mark quit his job bc he couldn't stand leaving ashe alone. ironic bc when he got his next job (being a villain) that's exactly what he did !! but. yeagh. same house :) that place is so haunted with tragedy it's unbelievable

25-28 is probably my favorite run of episodes just like. in the whole show. especially with added context. like oh ok, john literally just got back from being retraumatized and going through literal hell and literally all he wants is to escape that and know that he's not completely fucked as a person for what he did to survive it. which he isn't even allowed to talk about directly but still desperately wants some kind of comfort/reassurance from the only person he trusts and cares about, who's been his guide and anchor in the past.

unfortunately almost the second he gets back he discovers that arthur's going to be exactly negative helpful in this regard because he's taken all of roughly 24 hours to escalate to "kill everyone in the building and then myself" levels of mental breakdown. so now john's on duty as a sanity checker. fucking. okay. this is the opposite of what he wanted. great.

why does everyone ship Michael with Gerry when Eric was right there, and a dilf

"Jay why do you write such fucked up dark angsty shit? This doesn't make me feel good"

Well I just feel like if *I* have to constantly wrestle with the enormity of suffering human beings can experience then everyone else should occasionally join me on that journey. Using the filter of recreational distress via fiction of course

It's good for us probably. It's cathartic

one in a million when i watch smthing in the horror genre and don't end up disappointed to/and/or pissed off about it so like "also yeah i liked it. ooo" is like relative to that an off the charts rave review of media of the millennium. also i did think about mh a lot along the way so would recommend its affect/effect if you like mh's horror too

[glitch-in-the-code]

I really think that most people don’t understand the complexity of Mike and CC’s relationship

I also don’t think they understand what is so clearly implied in SL about Mike and Elizabeth
