@yatorihell may have timed me out but she can't time out the truth. MY TURN TO WATCH YOU SUFFER

Log of HMS Terror, Saturday, 25th September 1841:

Punished Thomas Jopson, Captain's Stew[ar]d with 36 lashes, for Drunkenness when on duty.

me, for the BRIEFEST second after Brennan introduces Ashley's PC's kids: oh, kids! :) how cu-

me, rapidly remembering this is CR DOWNFALL, remembering what happened when Brennan was playing a PC's kids in calamity: -ah, shit. fuck. balls even.

me, watching Ashley's PC leave her kids and husband behind: oh. y...... yay....??

didn't scroll tumblr for like a week cus i was hella busy and rereading @derinthescarletpescatarian curse words in what spare time i could wrangle from my schedule (great story, highly recommend btw) and i realise now that i haven't missed tumblr at all. maybe i will dip again

[yb-cringe]

so utterly obsessed with how fitpac have decided ok. if i cant kill you then no one can. and this has come out in very cool and interesting ways like threatening their own team to keep each other alive. it also comes out as threatening just any random mob that they die to.

You are consumed by murderous thoughts and you prepare to embark on a killing spree to end all oh for fuck's sake you start thinking about dog things again.

There's a lot of Bec in there. I guess it's not all that surprising, given the sheer power of what he is - the clown, cat and crow are probably all but drowned out by the light of the Green Motherfucking Sun.

Come to think of it, this is also a chance to gain some insight into Bec's psyche. Maybe, if we examine Jack's new motivations, we'll be able to understand what made that doggy tick.

You successfully suppress all thoughts of delicious little wrapped wieners and infuriating things like mail and its agents of delivery. But in the process you awaken your deepest and darkest feelings of all. Feelings of... Loyalty?

OR MAYBE I’LL JUST CRY. MAYBE I’LL DO THAT.

And it is surely why you couldn't go through with it. You could not do it. You could not kill the girl.

One lucky break after another. He can't harm Jade, he can't find John, and I think he'll have trouble with Dave, too, since his loops grant him predestination-flavored plot armor. Jack has no way of knowing which Dave is the most recent, so he's statistically a lot more likely to attack a past Dave, whose survival is Alpha-mandated.

That only leaves Rose - holed up in a library somewhere, and about to be enshrouded in an eldritch blackout, which doesn't sound easy to hunt in. I believe the Horrorterrors have business with her, and I don't think they'll want anyone interfering.

None of the kids are particularly vulnerable, so Jack can't go on the Player-killing spree he obviously wants to. All he can really do is destroy vital Sburb infrastructure, and murder beloved Guardians - which obviously isn't great, but is still an improvement on what we had before.

I just wish the kids were aware of this, since Jack's Becification is the most valuable intel we've heard all day. I didn’t think someone so single-minded would have psychological weaknesses to exploit, but now we’re in business. We have options.

For example: could we bait him with some radioactive steak?

Guys look on the bright side- it’s been three whole days since we’ve last had to deal with cucuruchito

considering each episode as an allegory for sam and dean's story has done irreparable damage to my psyche. if bugs is about cursed land and if bugs is about sam and his relationship to his father, his family, then bugs is about how sam's body (his "land") has been cursed, later even confirmed to be by his ancestors just as oasis plains was cursed by its ancestors. mary sacrificed sam's body to azazel, poisoned him, sent him to the slaughter. you can't break a curse, you can only outrun it. the fact that sam and dean were stuck within the curse only solidifies the connection: they're fruitlessly fighting the literal curse while sam fights the metaphorical curse within him. it's an episode about sam and his anger at john, about dean and his loyalty to john, about how they're both wrong in different ways. it's an episode about family and ancestors and killing your children, making your lands infertile so no future generations can survive on them. it's an episode about sam.

and it comes right before home, the episode which presents with full, explicit confirmation that sam has developed psychic powers. there's evil inside him and he's scared—"what's happening to me?"—and he's uncertain about himself, his past, and his future. the episode that reveals his psychic powers is the episode they return to their childhood home, is the episode where mary's ghost makes an appearance. sam was cursed by mary and their home was made inhospitable; she forced them out like the white man forced out the euchee.

and it comes right after hook man, the episode which wraps sam's feelings of being cursed in sinful, evil, religious language, which shows his deference to the christian god, which implies there's something evil within him that's hurting the people he loves. sam is evil, sam is cursed, sam is harboring something bad within him and the way to absolve him of his sins is to pray for divine retribution and punishment, for death, because the thing inside of sam is inextricable from himself, is bound to him.

all three episodes are about family and repeating curses, the echoes of harm carrying through generations. all framed through sam's relationship to john, to his past, to the people who came before him he knows nothing about. all culminating in the revelation that sam's fears are coming true and the curse he mentioned two episodes ago is real and it's getting worse and no one knows how to stop it.

but you can't break a curse. you can only get out of the way.

Also, I've seen a few "What would you do if you lived in Star Trek Times?" polls and never had a good answer but after that episode I know. I would not be doing any science or diplomacy or what have you. I would simply be crawling around the inner workings of the spaceship looking for the best acoustics. You hear mysterious ethereal singing emanating from the walls and just sigh and go, "Dammit, that weirdo must have gotten into the tubes again." I would learn about science only in order to make it harder for Security to catch me. I would be the Enterprise's Opera Ghost.

ok kidnapping your crush to the far netherlands of the universe and locking her up in your palace without her permission is totally not cool, but the sheer attention to detail to create an exact replica of her home down to the 8000 something flowers she compelled you to count that one time is actually kinna sweet

[000marie198]
