Sorry, I gotta hear your theories abt the snow piercers burials at your earliest convenience

Sorry to disappoint not theories just thoughts!

Like how it's acknowledged multiple times in canon that bodies go to compost. Melanie tells Jackboots to take Josie there, Ruth complains of bodies stacking up after the rebellion.

Which makes total sense composting bodies is probably the best possible option, but it's not super easy to do in a safe way and would need to be far more complex and scientific than the den of sludge that we see on Big Alice.

But then the Breachmen get what you gif'd - wrapped in cloth and jettisoned. Inherently wasteful, a not insignificant amount of cloth and rope on top of the loss of the soil feeding nutrients of the body itself.

This is presumably supposed to be an honour. Breachmen are third class, though. Do they get the honour because of the work they do, revered as they were amongst the working class? Do they get the honour because they were murdered, or young, or innocent? Do we only compost Tailies and rebels?

Do you get an honourable send off if you commit suicide? Even if your a firstie? In fic I refer to those as The Ungrateful Dead (an imagined Wilfordism, to be clear) and they get sent to compost.

Assume for a minute that the honour is generally reserved for the upper class, or at the very least the heroes. Even in death, even after the end of the world, how very like reality. The working class interred or burned, given back to the earth, the upper class entombed in mausoleum, great metal lined slabs, perfectly preserved... For posterity.

Of course the main point and one my mutuals are sure to be bored of is this.

Send me to compost.

What horror to be flash frozen, shattered flesh, scattered on a dead planet and trapped in this lifeless fragment of a life cycle for decades or centuries. What horror to be wasted.

Send me to compost. So I can feed the fungus, the bacteria, feed the earthworm and the cockroach, bring life to the fruiting tree and the sprouting herb. Send me to compost so I can feed you and you can have me back again. So I can be again. Life unto life. Keep me close and keep me warm, don't throw me out into the frozen wastes.

Sorry @gifsofhubris I just really wanted to wax lyrical about compost 🤷

generic apocalypse verse.

wiIford industries would like to welcome you to the ark of humanity — a time capsule of the world before. we endeavour to keep peace, order, and survival amongst the last of humankind. the ark is a contemporary lot on the outskirts of chicago, and is a self-contained settlement that sustains itself off the backs of its workers. like snowpiercer, there are class zones, medic camps, and subzones where its survivors are able to move between without security clearance. the ark has its own judicial system, and security sects such as jackboots (military) and brakemen (police) to keep the peace. breachmens' main jobs include venturing out beyond the perimeter, maintaining the compound's walls, and scouring for resources and supplies nearby. wiIford's absence is explained similarly — he is tucked away in one of the buildings, working tirelessly to keep the compound alive, and mustn't be disturbed. in zombie apocalypse settings, there is a rumour that he's working night and day to find a cure, and is heralded as a god by all those who survive within the compound. mel remains the only person who 'has contact' with him, and relays his messages across the compound. the hub of wiIford's ark sits in an abandoned hotel. the penthouse, although empty, is blocked with security access and is where wiIford is rumoured to be. the top rooms are reserved for the billionaires that would otherwise make up first class on the train, and further down into the basement, it is cordoned off into smaller, more efficient rooms for those in second class. third class are left to camps and tents outside, where the majority of the agriculture and storage is kept. water treatment plants, animal enclosures, allotments, and natural resources are manned at all times, with hydroponics and mass generators located in the basement of the hotel. meI's role in this is more to do with the continued order and survival of the group, along with the energy harnessing from generators and solar power. this is, of course, still attributed to wiIford. the tail is on the very outskirts of the compound and were allowed to stay in order to protect the perimeter of the compound with makeshift weapons. food and resources are offered to first class first. third and the tail are heavily policed to avoid riots or looting of services.

Accept the Christmas party invite from the Hospitality Department or from the Breachmen?

Oh god why do I have to choose

Much love to @napstatts! I rolled up with a grainy source, all these little adjustments I wanted, and he delivered! If you’re looking for an incredible artist with a patient chairside manner, he is your dude. Thank you, Sam!

Hey, @alekspaun, if y'all Breachmen need a hand, hmu.

Osweiller: I got three suckers and a quarter!

LJ: I got a rock.

Alex: It's because they know you're a murderer.

LJ: Oh yeah, well I don't see anything in that little bag of yours, Alexandra.

Brakeman or Breachman?

[snowpiercer-recaps]

Season 2, episode 8: The God Complex Module

Spoiler alert!!! This is a rewatch recap of Snowpiercer s2e8: The Eternal Engineer. Naturally, it is full of spoilers for that episode. However, it also contains spoilers for some other episodes of season 1 and season 2. You have been warned!

It’s Roche’s turn to monologue this episode. Snowpiercer's people are now more afraid of each other than of food insecurity or disease. He’s just trying to keep people together. We also get a look inside Roche’s locker, which is full of pictures of his family - including his two dead children.

Meanwhile, Boki places W tokens on the wrapped-up bodies of the murdered breach workers. People all over the train stand to attention with their hands over their hearts for the funeral. Some of the people begin to hold up three fingers in the W salute, rather than holding their hearts. In the final scene before the opening credits, Boki starts to throw the bodies of his colleagues out of the train. What happened to not wasting resources? That's a lot of fabric and rope and useful carbon!

After the opening credits, Till, Layton, Roche and Till’s detective coat are sitting with Boki in the Nightcar. With Clay dead, Zarah working in Hospitality and Audrey on Big Alice, the place is almost creepily deserted. The cops are trying to convince Boki that Pastor Logan organised the murders of his friends. But Boki still thinks it was tailies - he’s spent thirty years risking his life for Wilford, and he can’t believe Wilford would kill Breachmen. Roche tries to appeal to Boki to help them keep the peace, but Boki pulls an Alex and storms off.

In the Big Alice engine car, Wilford enters the cockpit to have a little catchup with Alex while Audrey sings from the murder bathtub.

Alex is passive-aggressive about how untidy her new stepmom is, then presses Wilford for information about his secret plans. He’s still not telling her, though. Alex noticed an intentional breach this morning - not just Snowpiercer dropping the bodies, but also one on Big Alice. Wilford denies all knowledge, but Alex isn’t convinced.

In the Layton-Ferami First Class Living/Meeting Room, Layton is talking about how unsafe the train feels. Lights says that the Tailies can’t move freely at all, and I’m left wondering how she’s made it all the way up in First, then? Next, Till and her detective coat confirm that the Tunnelmen are lost, even though two murder suspects are already behind bars. Uhh, Till, sweetie, that’s not the flex you think it is! Pastor Logan and Eugenia are a good start, but there are still at least another seven other murderers at large! Of course people aren’t relaxing yet! (Sidenote: I’d LOVE a scene of Eugenia in jail!)

Dr. Pelton gives the next update. She confirms that most of Second are still with Layton, in typical Pelton style:

She’s so great!

Finally, Roche tries to get everyone to relax. The Brakemen are all on Layton’s side! But Layton isn’t so sure - some of them were doing the W salute at the funeral. Roche explains that it’s just a tradition, for the Breachmen.

Roche heads home after the meeting. Carly (aka Fireball) isn’t happy that she’s being moved uptrain - but it’s just for a short while, so that she doesn’t have to walk to school through the riots and armed mobs. The Roches say their goodbyes and “I love you”s, and Carly is escorted uptrain to the Paolis’ by a Brakeman. Then, Roche - shit, they’re all Roche! I'm gonna have to call him Sam! Sam tells Anne how bad it is: they’re one dirty look away from a civil war.

They get into some backstory: Sam lost his faith on the train, but Anne still believes. She and Snowpiercer’s other Christians are struggling to come to terms with the idea that their Pastor ordered the deaths of eight people. But luckily the tension is broken when their kitchen tap explodes everywhere!

Uptrain, the engine bros are alerted to the water pressure issues. Javi isn’t pleased that he can’t just stick the train on autopilot all day, and heads down to check out the problem.

Meanwhile, Ruth has got her welly boots on to wade through the puddles. She asks Anne what’s happening. Anne tells Ruth that the cabins are flooding. Uh, yeah? In the background, LJ is panicking that Ruth is on the way. Osweiller gives her a little pep talk, and it appears to work too well. LJ responds with “Let’s janitor this bitch!” … Sure, LJ.

Brakeman Blowie and Train Psycho give Ruth a quick update: the cabins are under control now, but the subtrain has started leaking. Osweiller takes Ruth down to show her, just in time for a pressure surge! They all get soaked.

On Big Alice, we finally catch up with Josie again! Wilford is visiting, and it’s disconcerting to watch him being nice. She wasn’t in the last episode because she was unconscious, having another goop bath. Josie wants to know why Wilford has healed her, but he ignores the question and jumps right into a nice breach of doctor-patient confidentiality: he’s heard about her phantom pain. He’s a bit creepy as he begins to do the fake hand trick. He mansplains the treatment to her (an actual medical professional!) After a while, it starts to work. Wilford then delivers some of the most concerning lines of the episode:

As Wilford leaves, he informs Josie that her door won’t be locked any more and welcomes her to Big Alice. I know she’s got important spying to do, but I want her to run home right now!

In Snowpiercer’s engine, Bennett explains the water pressure issue to Layton, Roche, Till, and her detective coat. It doesn’t make sense to me that all three of them are required in the engine for this, but hey! The port intake won’t close, so they’re taking in too much snow. Layton doesn’t understand Difficult Engine Things, so asks Bennett for a 1-10 rating of how bad the problem is. Bennett states that it would usually be a three, because it would be easy to send a couple of breach workers out to fix it. But given that most of the breach workers were just murdered, it’s at least a six. Layton rounds the six up to a ten. Relatable.

In Big Alice’s engine, Audrey interrupts Alex’s train feeling time. Alex and her stepmom have a quick standoff to establish that Wilford is still keeping Alex in the dark about something, and then Audrey tells Alex to look out of the window. Icy Bob is staggering towards them, on top of the train.

Alex rushes down to the lab just in time to see Bob fall through the door. The Headwoods try to warm him up, and Bob reaches out a hand. Wilford grabs a W token, like the one Boki placed on one of his murdered colleagues, and gives it to Bob. Alex asks why Bob was sent out, but no one answers her.

In the Big Alice canteen, Audrey blasts into the room in a shiny gold dress, waits for the whole room to look at her, and then walks over to sit with Josie. She can’t believe that Josie was homeschooled! Audrey tells Josie that she can’t wear a tank top two days in a row, that she can only wear her hair in a ponytail once per week, and that on Wednesdays they wear pink!

Josie knows who Audrey is, and asks why she’s on Big Alice. Audrey ignores her, and instead tells Josie that, with a little more effort, she could be beautiful again. Sweary Josie returns!

WTF, Audrey?

Josie asks Audrey for information on Snowpiercer. Audrey plays with the mush on Josie’s, and tells her that Layton is struggling to keep power. Josie quickly pieces together that Audrey has defected. But Audrey corrects her: she’s returned. Audrey proceeds to give a little speech about how both she and Josie were leaders on Snowpiercer, and says that she’s sleeping much better on Big Alice, now that the weight of the responsibility of leadership has been lifted. She offers Josie to join them. Fuck. I really miss season one Audrey!

In Snowpiercer’s queer gym, Boki is boxing away his grief. He knew that Layton, Till and her detective coat would be visiting to ask him to sort out the water issue. They’re respectfully humble as they ask, and Boki toys with them for a bit - what if he doesn’t go out? Eventually, though, he heads out to suit up and save the train.

Back in the Big Alice lab, Josie visits Icy Bob. He’s covered in frostbite and struggling to talk. She asks him what meds he’s on, but he just replies, “I’m ready. I’ve served my purpose.” Josie insists that he’s got a far greater purpose than just being Wilford’s weapon, and Mrs. Dr. Headwood enters the room just in time to agree. She laments that, after all their hard work, they’ll never discover his full potential. She gives him a pill, and tells Josie that they need her to rest - now, more than ever. Josie is confused and worried by the statement, and so am I!

Instead of asking questions or safely seeking out more information, Josie decides to sneak downstairs and stick her hand through the fucking coldlock. She only has one hand left! And she wanted to risk freezing it off based on one little hint!? Josie’s brain should definitely be defrosted by now, but there’s clearly a need for a bit of goop on her prefrontal cortex. Luckily, her hand is fine. But it was still a very fucking stupid idea! I miss season one Josie almost as much as I miss season one Audrey.

From Big Alice’s Big Window, Alex notices that Snowpiercer is venting water and slowing down. She’s trying to figure out what’s happening, but her questions annoy Wilford and he tells her to just ask Bennett what’s going on.

Meanwhile, the engine bros are updating Layton on the situation: they’ve had to slow down to sort out the intake issue, which means they’re going to be late to pick up Melanie - who they still haven’t regained contact with. Alex calls and demands to know what’s happening, but Layton shakes his head at Bennett. Bennett lies that they’re just taking advantage of the straight track to do some maintenance, and Wilford pounces on the opportunity to gloat.

Boki heads outside, and finds the issue: a rail spike has been jammed into the intake! And when he can’t reach it, he doesn’t just struggle for half an episode like Melanie did in s1e6 - he uses his axe! What a guy!

When he’s back inside, Boki shows Layton, Bennett and Javi the number ten Wilford spike. He also tells them that ice had been broken off the access ladder - someone else had used it recently. The intake block definitely wasn’t an accident.

Bennett and Javi quickly whisper an excuse to escape the scene before they have to witness any emotion. Then, Boki explains the significance of his W token (it symbolises Wilford pledging his life for his breach workers), hands the token to Layton, and defects from Wilford’s side in style:

Well, Layton does have a history of sticking small objects in assholes!

Downtrain, LJ is giving Ruth another update. Ruth praises her for trying hard. With Josie and Audrey on Big Alice, is Ruth the Train Mum now? LJ ruins it, because of course she does - she’s trying hard for Wilford’s train. Ruth stays positive, tells LJ to keep up the good work, and then adds that her parents would be proud. LJ doesn’t think that’s true - she has callouses now!

As Ruth walks away, Anne Roche calls her over. Anne has been asked whether Sam stands with or against Wilford, and she wants to know whether Ruth has been asked the same question. Ruth explains that Hospitality has to remain neutral, and Anne retorts that the Brakemen do, too. Does Ruth think that Sam is remaining neutral? Ruth dodges the question, which pretty much confirms that he is not.

Talking of Sam, he’s busy sending Breachmen all over the train. One of his employees informs him of a rumour that the surviving Jackboots have reformed, but before they can address the issue Anne pops in with sandwiches for everyone, and they all filter out. Anne says that there are now more people for Wilford than against him. Sam doesn’t quite agree, but concedes that it’s a close call. Then, it’s time for another vague, concerning line:

Is Anne implying that Wilford and/or his supporters caused their kids’ deaths? It doesn’t seem like she’s just referring to the freeze, right? Yikes!

Anne preferred life on the train before the revolution. She thinks Wilford and his rules will sort out all the issues they’re currently experiencing. But Sam doesn’t agree. He points out that Wilford literally designed the train to have arm-freezing ports! Anne wants Sam to put his family first, and Sam insists that he is! Layton is a good guy, who is trying to create a better world, and that’s what Sam wants for his family. Layton and Zarah are gonna be able to argue this well, one day.

In Terrence-Never-Terry’s former office, LJ tells Osweiller that she’s “covered in shit and cooking [him] dinner.” She said it! Dinner is hard boiled eggs, which I guess is supposed to be cute but I can’t bring myself to like either of these characters at all. LJ thinks she’s a working class action hero, and yeah, sure, LJ. Osweiller thinks LJ is the only person who likes him, and LJ asks what Till? Osweiller explains that big sisters don’t count as friends unless they like you. Then he says that LJ is his favourite, before quickly getting defensive in case LJ makes fun of him. But he’s her favourite, too. And then they kiss. I think I genuinely preferred the Ruth/Grey scenes to this!? STOPPPPPPP!

In the engine server room, Javi and Bennett introduce Layton to the engine’s brain - the Wilford Industries Digital Automation System. It’s kinda disappointing that Wilford didn’t want to come up with a more entertaining acronym! Do they at least pronounce WIDAS “wide ass”? The hydrogen input signal keeps fluctuating, and the engine bros are concerned.

In Big Alice’s engine, Audrey and Wilford are lounging about and reading while Kevin waits on them and Alex is still trying to resolve the mystery. She’s half way there! She’s figured out that Icy Bob did something to the intake. Wilford praises Alex for working it out, and Audrey derides her for being too slow.

The engine bros have figured out why the signal is poor: the sensor is in the intake, so it was probably damaged. I’m not sure why they didn’t think of that first? I guess Melanie was always the smartest engineer! The broken sensor has fried the God Module - the thing that basically runs the engine. This feels like a fucking huge design flaw! Why can one dodgy sensor do that so easily? Anyway, they need to replace the part, fast. But they don’t have a replacement.

Alex tries to determine why Wilford just wanted to do a little easy-to-fix damage to the intake while Kevin pours water for Jupiter like he’s working at the Ritz.

Then, Bennett calls in to answer Alex’s questions. There’s an emergency on Snowpiercer. Wilford is thrilled!

Next, Layton and Bennett update Ruth, Roche, Zarah, Lights, Till and her detective coat on the situation. Wilford sabotaged the engine, and he has a replacement part - but he’s insisting on bringing it himself. Wilford has to visit the engine, or they’ll all be dead within hours. But Wilford’s supporters can’t see him travelling through the train to save them - it would be disastrous. Lights asks what will happen “if it all goes to shit?” Fair question! Layton will send up a flare.

Lights and Till both hug themselves throughout this entire scene, and Zarah is as exasperated as I am that they don’t just hug each other.

At the border, Layton, Ruth and Roche meet Mr. Wilford. Wilford thinks he must be very popular, if they don’t want people to see him! They travel up to the engine quietly - even Ruth and Roche don’t engage with Wilford. Tunnelman Jakes spots Wilford on the subtrain as they travel. Uh oh.

Uptrain, Wilford enjoys seeing his engine car for the first time in seven years! Bennett chips him in, and Wilford greets him by accusing him of ruining the moment. They glare at each other for a bit. Do you hear that? It’s the sound of one very specific lesbian writing a very niche set of fanfic.

Ruth and Roche say goodbye to Wilford, and Wilford says he hopes that Roche continues to hold the balance of power wisely. Uh oh. Then, Wilford heads down to the engine server room. He greets Javi, and asks whether it’s true he was in the bathroom when Melanie and Bennett stole the train. It was! So, there’s Javi’s whole backstory! Wilford won’t give Bennett the spare part, because he prefers Javi. The music gets tense as they get to work.

Meanwhile in Third, Jakes and the uninformed Jackboots are making a plan to keep Wilford in the engine.

Wilford is flexing his saviour complex again, and Layton is tired of his shit: Wilford risked all their lives for a publicity stunt. Wilford admits that he’s hoping people will realise he’s there, ready to give him credit for saving the day. Wilford then gives Bennett an unnecessary instruction, and Layton tells Wilford that the engine bros have got it under control.

I don’t like Wilford, but he’s right! Layton has absolutely no idea what’s happening!

The replacement God Module works for a few seconds, but then starts sparking and smoking like all computer science in a TV show. Wilford hates surprises! This wasn’t what he planned, and he quickly flies into action to save his beloved engine. It turns out that Melanie did a little fix years ago, and it’s fucked the whole thing up - the God Module can’t override the system. They discuss the issues and quickly come up with a plan - they’ll have to do a manual restart.

Bennett announces an emergency, and the Tunnelmen jump straight into action. Ruth and Roche catch up with Zarah and Till, and they’re all very worried about what’s happening. Alex receives a call from Wilford, and she’s even more worried than the others! She asks if it’s part of Wilford’s plan, and he angrily yells “No!” before giving her instructions for what to do when Snowpiercer shuts down.

Bennett gives the command, and the Tunnelmen shut everything down. There are eerie, quiet shots of people all over the train. Wilford takes over from Javi to sort everything out in the server room, and takes another opportunity to remind Layton that he doesn’t know anything about engineering. Then, Wilford announces to the train. So much for keeping his visit quiet. They finish up, and Wilford makes another announcement to restart the systems. Wilford teases Layton as he works. When the lights come back on, the people of Snowpiercer cheer, and chant Wilford’s name. Fuck.

Sad music plays over sad, slow shots of the anti-Wilford task force. Bennett squeezes Layton’s shoulder. And then Layton sets off that red flare he mentioned earlier, to formally announce that it’s all gone to shit.

The next day, Layton is cuffed to the torturey hospitality room table. Roche chips in to inform Layton that he’s going to be taken to Big Alice. Layton is worried about the Tail, and Roche promises to do what he can to help them. Layton tells Roche he just wants to see his kid be born, and cries. Roche uncuffs Layton and lets Zarah into the room. They hug and cry and apologise. Zarah reminds him that they don’t give up!

That Brakeman from earlier was right about the Jackboots: at least six of them are outside, waiting to take Layton away. Six!! Roche and Layton wish each other luck, and Roche is instructed to report to Big Alice. Audrey escorts him to a small drawer room. The Headwoods greet him warmly, and Roche sees his wife and daughter, already suspended in open drawers. Fuck.

In the final scene, Wilford saunters into Snowpiercer’s engine to take over from Bennett. Bennett is clearly regretting that time three(ish) weeks ago that he lied to his colleagues and slowed the train down on the off chance of picking up a few new hex nuts! He dejectedly tells Mr. Wilford, “You have the train,” and Wilford grins infuriatingly as he sits in the driver’s seat.

They should just kill him while he doesn’t have security, and pretend he's running the train for the next seven years!

[olivish]

Okay so some observations about the new set pics posted on reddit today:

Of course, when his train is freezing and there's a resource crunch, Wilford's first order of business is giving the Nightcar a spruce. Sigh. I mean. Lol.

There is a "Breachmen's" Strongman competition coming up. So it looks like Wilford has trained new breachworkers. That, or Boki is sure to take 1st place as the only competitor.

But on to the LIBRARY, WHICH IS FRIGGIN AWESOME:

ETYMOLOGY, DOCTRINES, ETIQUETTE, CRIMINAL LAW, LATIN POETRY, ANCIENT WORLD, EPISTOMOLOGY... very humanities-heavy. No fiction? No science? Where is the shelf devoted entirely to Rebecca?

Interesting that some of the books are locked behind gates. Is this where Wilford keeps the holy manuscripts concerning the secrets of perpetual locomotion?

On one of the shelves near the chess table, there's what looks to be a statue of a hollow horse. A trojan horse? Foreshadowing? Hmmm.

On the upper level, there's a display of ancient weapons. So my only question is, does Ruth choose an axe this time? Or a tribal spear?

I like how the living earth is hanging from the ceiling from a thin cord, so precariously. Very poetic, I think.

The last photo seems to be the control room of a nuclear power plant (notice the radiation signage on the wall). In the Netflix sneak-peak, we see that Bennett falls through the snow into a building of some kind. This is probably it, and probably where the pirates find Asha.

[lancedinah]

things snowpiercer has not answered, to my knowledge:

how wilford manages to maintain this cult of personality with everyone aside from the main cast? they hated the tail, sure, but where were they? where did they go in the last episodes? everyone we saw for the most part hated him, but there was clearly a train of (somewhat) loyalists

why big alice didn’t revolt once he moved on to snowpiercer? if he culled half of their number, why wouldn’t they act once they knew they could?

how audrey went from not being aligned with wilford to being his cackling sidekick after 1 scene with kevin

how snowpiercer’s engine can survive without all of its food cars, or how big alice + snowpiercer can survive without the water that was being filtered through snowpiercer’s engine as they travelled. 

did snowpiercer ever get a new school?

why did nothing come of pike and terrence?

jinju??? where is she?? what happened to her? didn’t she manage ag sec, how is that surviving without her?

the missing cows, iron shortages

the drawers????? what are they really for going forward

what was the narrative purpose of an orgy, osweiller’s singing, a carnival, etc

did wilford have replacements for the breachmen he killed? if snowpiercer needed 10, that would mean big alice needed far less and therefore wouldn’t have enough to man snowpiercer going forward 

the headwoods? do they even have motivations aside from being weird and creepy

why wilford didn’t kill or punish till for being even more combative than everyone else he watched him lock up

how come there’s an endless amount of nameless jackboots now?

what purpose lj serves to this plot - did she help organize wilford loyalists or has she just been firing off one liners and mopping floors all season? also see: why she is still even awake or alive post melanie-is-wilford reveal

how melanie survive on like one mre for like a week or half a month but ran out of rats in 5 days

why no one has acknowledged that layton is a good revolutionary, but a bad post revolution leader? wasn’t there talk of a council? 

[troubledapocalypsetrain]

Wilford to Till in possibly the most horrifying scene of this season -

Wilford: Here are all the muderers you were looking for detective Till! I think we should execute them all for killing the breachmen,(On my orders) Don’t you?

Me: *side whisper to Till* say RICO ACT

Till: RICO ACT

Wilford: previous laws no longer apply here.

Me: ok but your logic is bad and you should feel bad.

I thought you were an eDUcaTeD iNviDUaL and here you are spitting out bad logic like a freshman dude convinced he’s a genius in Philosophy 101.

[snowpiercer-live-blog]

I should have known it was too good to be true, but here we fucking are: my Serbian snow bear daddy Boki is unfortunately a Wilford loyalist, along with the rest of the muscle jock Breachmen. Ugh. I was literally Tyra Banks screaming at my laptop screen yelling, "I was rooting for you! We were all rooting for you! HOW DARE YOU!"

anon after this ep:

But for real, I was so disappointed too. I guess I'm glad he's deciding to be neutral but the possibility that he might be hiding Light's assaulter and his negative attitude towards Till left a bad taste in my mouth.

in conclusion:

[julesnichols]

From here.

“Just take my hand,” Bennett sighed in exasperation, giving Melanie a look. 

She was in the floor beneath the subtrain fixing a minor issue; unfortunately, she’d dropped something on her foot, and they’d come to an impasse when they’d realized she was struggling to get up the ladder. She was too stubborn for her own good sometimes. 

Melanie, grumbling and swearing under her breath, finally took his hand. Between him, her good foot, and her other hand she managed to get out, sitting on the edge of the pit to catch her breath. 

“Don’t start,” she warned. 

“I won’t,” he promised, sitting next to her; he checked that the breachmen and DiMarco weren’t looking before kissing her temple and taking her hand again to squeeze it, “You’re brilliant, and accidents happen.”

She smiled softly at him, nodding, “Thank you.”

He winced a little as he forced himself to state the obvious, “Unfortunately, you also injured yourself, and I’ll take you to Dr. Pelton kicking and screaming if I have to, so honestly do us both a favor and just go, please?”

Melanie groaned, lying down with her legs still dangling over the edge. Bennett just chuckled nervously, reaching to tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear. Her eyes narrowed in annoyance.

He decided then that he really did not care if he was currently at the top of her shitlist— he really would make her take care of herself kicking and screaming if he had to.

@alekspaun says he's done on Snowpiercer Season 3, and I am so delighted! If y'all haven't watched.. look, I'm addicted. We could even start a book club, if you want. The Volunteer Breachworker Book Club. Please. Anyone? Watch Snowpiercer (the tv series), watch Snowpiercer (the movie), read Snowpiercer. Talk to me about it.

Welcome to Wilford Industries where the doctors probably aren't actual doctors, most of the engineers hate each other or are fucking, Hospitality is gay, and the breachmen are dead!

Soooo is Icy Bob confirmed dead? They kept talking about Josie being the new Icy Bob but I didn't catch anything about where he is now...

Wilford did press that W button to his hands when he went outside las time, just like Boki did to the dead breachmen, so was that the show's way of saying that he was dead by the end of that episode??

Top 5 characters Boki has probably knitted a sweater for?

1. Any and all of the breachmen

2. Wilford at some point

3. Till (once they stopped fighting)

4. All three of the engineers

5. Ruth
