the man himself!! i feel like kei's vd and mv are a little bit underwhelming compared to what the second pair had, but it was kinda intentional in a way. like yeah, he's fun and cool and already had a very dark past before milgram, but also.. he's just a guy. a very scared one too.
Warnings for Kei's VD: heavy implications of physical torture.
Warnings for Kei's MV: toxic relationship dynamics, violence and physical torture.
(sounds of footsteps)
Miki: So.. It's Kei-san's turn now.
Miki: "If Eiji-san doesn't join us now.. I don't think he will join us at all."
Hinode: He's.. quite an interesting prisoner, isn't he?
Hinode: I'm not sure if I should be scared or excited about being able to talk to him in person. 
Miki: But you have talked to each other even before this interrogation..
Hinode: Well, yes, but we haven't really talked about his crime, you know?
Hinode: In fact.. He really doesn't like to talk about his crime. Wonder why..
(the door opens)
Kei: Oh, you two are finally here! Hiiiii~
Kei: *sighs* It's so sad that my poor little brother is still not here with you.. But oh well, guess I can't do anything about that.
Miki: Um, Kei-san, this might be a weird question, but..
Miki: Are you sure you don't know anything about Eiji-san? Like.. Maybe you know where he is now? 
Miki: Or.. If he's even alive.
Kei: ...
Kei: Miki, sweetie, could you please not joke about that? 
Miki: T-this wasn't supposed to be a joke-
Kei: I'm sure Eiji is still alive! I mean.. He has to be alive.
Miki: But.. What if he's not? What if something happened to him? What if Milgram sees him as a failure now?..
Kei: Hm...
Kei: Well.. I'll just kill everyone here probably then. 
Miki and Hinode: ...
Kei: Hey, come on, you could've at least pretended to act more shocked!
Miki: Sorry. We already had two prisoners say that they will either kill everyone here or just kill Eiji-san, so.. 
Miki: You're not really that original.
Kei: .. Someone is planning to kill Eiji?
Miki: A-anyway, we're not here to talk about that. 
Miki: Kei-san.. Are you feeling better now that you've been voted innocent?
Kei: .. Ah, haha, yeah.. I'm definitely feeliing better now.
Kei: My body doesn't hurt as much anymore, there's a possibility that my eye injury will get better, I got this cool new outfit.. Yeah, life is going great.
Miki: I see.. That's good to hear.
Kei: But still.. I'm just a little curious about something.
Kei: So like.. Why innocent? Why have you changed your mind so suddenly?
Kei: Is it because of my video or something? Hey, can I watch it-
Miki: W-we still don't know if the prisoners can watch their videos and if they're allowed to do so.
Miki: But.. Your second video showed that your murder went.. Not like we expected.
Kei: .. What is that supposed to mean-
Hinode: It's like.. I'd say you looked more like a victim there, Kei-san.
Kei:!
Hinode: It's like, if we didn't know you're one of the prisoners, we'd probably think you were the one who got killed.
Miki: It.. really was painful to watch.
Miki: "I wonder what would Eiji-san think if he watched this video with us.."
Kei: .. I-I see, haha.. So, what do you think about my murder now? Have you like, figured it out yet?
Miki: Kei-san.. Why can't you just tell us about it?
Kei: Huh?
Miki: Some of the other prisoners are completely okay with talking about their crime, like Chiba-san or Yoshioka-san. Some of them refuse to tell us anything because they believe they were in the right and don't see it as a crime, like Maruyama-san. Some of them don't want to tell us anything because they possibly feel guilty or ashamed, like Yano-san. 
Miki: So I just want to know.. Which one of these are you? You're definitely not the first one, so..
Miki: And something is telling me you're the third type.
Kei: .. A-are you sure you're allowed to just talk about other prisoners and their crimes like that, haha-
Miki: Sorry, Kei-san, but I'm the guard here. And I believe I am allowed to do that.
Kei: Woah~ Haha, okay, okay, Guard 002-san, I won't ask any dumb questions anymore.
Miki: So.. Why don't you just tell us already? We know that you had five victims. All of them were women. They were somehow connected to your friends.
Miki: We already know all of that, so why don't you just confess already?!
Kei: ...
Hinode: Kei-san, is it okay for me to assume that you haven't killed them because of.. I don't know, you being sadistic or cruel or wanting to see them in pain?
Kei: .. Well.. 
Kei: *laughs* I don't know. I could tell you everything, but.. 
Kei: .. The truth is kinda lame, honestly. 
Miki: There you go. You're trying to avoid this topic again.
Miki: What are you so afraid of, Kei-san? Who cares if the truth is "lame"? Do you think we'll make fun of you or something?..
Kei: .. I don't know, Miki. I don't know. *laughs*
Kei: It's like.. All prisoners here are so cool. Like, you look at them and think "Wow.. Just what could have possibly made them commit murder"?
Kei: I'm pretty close with some of them, so I know some stuff about their crimes and it's like.. They're so scary, but also so cool.. Especially considering that some of them had love as their main motivation.
Kei: .. And I'm.. not like that at all, haha.
Hinode: I think you having five victims already makes your murder one of the scariest ones, if it makes you feel any better.
Kei: Hmm.. Well, my motive kinda sucks. 
Kei: And like.. How I did it. 
Kei: T-to be honest, sometimes I just.. Sometimes I'm not even sure if I was the one who murdered them.
Miki: What?
Kei: B-but never mind, haha.. So, uh, I guess I should tell you something, right?
Kei: So, like..  What do you even want to know?
(sounds of Miki standing up and putting her hands on the table)
Miki: Everything. Tell us everything.
Hinode: Miki-san, I think we should be more specific.
Hinode: For example.. Your motive, Kei-san. Why did you kill those women?
Kei: .. Well..
Kei: Ah, how about we turn this into a game? Come on, guys, try to guess why I killed them!
Miki: Ugh.. I-I don't know, maybe because of jealousy or something? 
Kei: You think I wanted to date all of them?
Miki: Again, I said that I don't know!
Hinode: They found out something they weren't supposed to?
Kei: ...
Kei: Haha.. Wow, looks like we have a winner here~ I'll give you the prize later.
Kei: But like.. How did you-
Hinode: I just guessed, but also.. There was this scene in your video where one of the women found some photographs and..
Hinode: You got really nervous after that.
Kei: .. Ahaha.. You even saw that too?
Miki: What was on those photographs? 
Miki: "It really must've been something truly terrifying to make even Kei-san feel that way.."
Kei: Oh, just some people getting tortured. Like, their fingers being cut off or them losing their eyes or-
Miki: .. But we already knew that you, um..
Miki: Well, took pictures of those people.
Kei: That's because I've told you about it. I'm literally in a prison now, like who cares if I have a job like that, all prisoners here are literally murderers, like who cares!
Kei: But outside Milgram.. life is much harder for someone like me.
Kei: So, like.. I've never told anyone about it except my family. Because, well, it's still a crime, obviously, and I have a reputation to protect.
Kei: Like, imagine if a guy who took photographs for your favorite fashion magazine turned out to be also doing something like that. People would go wild and not in a good way.
Miki: So.. You killed them only because of that?
Miki: "I don't want to say it's lame, but.. I really expected more from his crime.."
Kei: No, no, it doesn't stop there.
Kei: So, um.. They didn't just get scared or something. They were sure I would do the same to them and that's why I invited them to my house.
Miki: Oh..
Kei: No, no, don't get me wrong, I really was going to kill them anyway. Like, I really did invite them just to kill them.
Miki: "Never mind, he's still bad."
Hinode: But.. Why? Why did you plan to kill them?
Kei: That's a story for another time. Who knows, maybe you'll see it in my video.
Kei: And, um.. They kinda.. Tried to defend themselves.
Kei: And they, uh.. Got a bit too.. How do I say it?.. Like, girls really did not have to do all that, haha.
Miki: This.. might be a strange theory, but..
Miki: Kei-san, have they also tried to torture you? You know.. Like maybe they wanted to get back at you? Maybe they wanted you to feel the same pain?
Miki: I'm assuming that would be quite easy for them to do, since, you know..
Miki: You'd have to deal with five angry and scared women all alone.
Kei:  ...
Kei: T-they..
(sounds of Kei struggling to breathe and talk)
Miki: Kei-san, is everything okay?!
Hinode: Looks like you were right, Miki-san.
Miki: B-but how do we help him?!
(sounds of Miki quickly walking up to Kei and something falling on the floor)
Hinode: Ah, Miki-san, you should be more careful.
(sounds of Hinode standing up)
Miki: Huh? D-did I drop something-
Hinode: No, it's okay, I'll get it.
Hinode: It's the memory machine-
Hinode: Huh?
(sounds of something being crushed)
Miki: ...
Hinode: ...
Kei: Oh, actually, I suddenly feel much better now.
Miki: Kei-san..
Miki: .. Did you just step on the memory machine and-
Kei: It's much smaller than I imagined it to be. And breaks so easily too..
Miki: .. What have you done?
(sound of a screen being turned on)
Eiji: WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU DONE?!
Hinode: Wait, is that-
Miki: EIJI-SAN?!
Kei: Told you, obviously he's still alive. So good to finally see you, little brother~
Eiji: KEI, I WILL RIP YOUR ORGANS OUT WHEN WE GET TO TALK IN PERSON, JUST YOU WAIT!
Hinode: Wait, wait, let's calm down here. Eiji-san, what is going on? Did Kei-san do something wrong?
Hinode: Well, not counting him breaking the memory machine..
Eiji: Oh, he definitely did something wrong. 
Eiji: Kei, just a quick little question.
Eiji: What did you do to the cameras? I can no longer see anyone or anything. It's all just black screens. 
Eiji: And I clearly remember seeing you before the cameras started acting weird. 
Eiji: It's like you were just.. standing there. Waiting for something or someone.
Kei: Hmm, but what if it wasn't me, Eiji? Also, I'm sure Milgram would have its cameras hidden from the prisoners, so..
Eiji: How about you ask another prisoner about it? You know, the one you're particularly close with.
Eiji: Also, don't act like you haven't done the same thing before. Just some black spray paint would do the trick.
Kei: .. Haha..
(bell rings, machinery sounds)
Hinode: It's time, Miki-san. And, uh, Eiji-san.
Hinode: We should have expected you to show up for your brother's interrogation, haha.
Eiji: Shut up. 
Kei: So, you're going to watch the third video already, huh?
Kei: Well, I'm ready. But also, please make sure to watch it closely, okay?
Kei: Because I'm not planning to talk about my crime ever again.
Hinode: We will try our best, Kei-san.
Hinode: Admitting that you became a victim of torture yourself must be quite hard for someone like you.
Kei: .. Hey, Hinode, please don't forget to come to my cell and take the prize I promised, okay?
Hinode: Haha, don't worry, I won't. I'm sure you will prepare something amazing for me.
Eiji: You really saw a guard that wasn't your brother or a highschooler and decided to immediately take your chance, huh?
Hinode: What's that supposed to mean, Eiji-san?
Kei: Don't think too much about it-
Miki: WHY CAN'T YOU ALL JUST SHUT UP ALREADY?!
Miki: THE MEMORY MACHINE IS BROKEN, THE CAMERAS ARE BROKEN, WE STILL DON'T KNOW THAT MUCH ABOUT THIS GUY'S CRIME AND HE'S REFUSING TO TELL US MORE AND IT'S THE LAST TRIAL! 
Miki: KEI-SAN! STOP GIVING HINODE-SAN THAT LOOK AND TURN BACK TO ME RIGHT NOW!
Kei: .. Power trip is hitting you hard, Miki.
Miki: Nobody asked.
Miki: Prisoner 005, Kei, sing all of your sins!

[ Kei's Trial 3 MV: Love=Pain ]
It looks like Kei is getting ready for a photo shoot. He still has his pink sunglasses, but he's mostly wearing purple and he has this creepy and suspicious smile on his face. The door opens and his model finally walks in. 
"Well, hello there, nice to meet you
The most beautiful piece of art I've ever seen
Come on, don't feel jealous, I only have eyes for you
So like, can we get started already?"
The model turns out to be Kei as well and this Kei is mostly wearing blue and he doesn't look thrilled to be here. He doesn't like the way the photographer!Kei is staring at him, but he just sighs and gets ready to pose.
Suddenly, we see model!Kei wearing a surprisingly casual and even "normal" outfit (not counting the fact that he has an anime girl print on his hoodie) and he looks very anxious and he keeps looking away. Photographer!Kei rolls his eyes, looking annoyed. Model!Kei is wearing a beautiful black dress and a black hat now and he looks much more confident now and he even winks at Photographer!Kei. The latter, however, looks terrified and he shakes his head. 
"So what do you want me to do? What do you want me to be?
I can be someone who will give you all the love you need and more
I can be someone who will turn your life into an even bigger mess
So what do you want? What do you need? Give me a sign"
Model!Kei sighs again. Photographer!Kei asks someone to come closer and that someone turns out to be Ruka. Ruka listens to photographer!Kei, nods and walks to model!Kei. Model!Kei is visibly sweating and seems to be very nervous, meanwhile Ruka still looks emotionless.
"Ah, I understand now, my love is nothing but a show
My love is supposed to be all soft and cute and "acceptable"
When will it be okay for me to show how IMPERFECT my love is?
When will they finally see my existence as "acceptable"?"
We see photographer!Kei taking pictures of Ruka sitting on model!Kei's lap, model!Kei hugging him, them talking about something, laughing and overall having fun. However, photographer!Kei doesn't look satisfied and he looks model!Kei in the eyes. Model!Kei realizes something and he slowly nods and gets up. 
"My love means nothing, if it doesn't make you cry
I don't want the kind of love that doesn't hurt me
"Play it safe"? Nah, that's not for me
Now can I get praised for being everyone's PERFECT lover?"
Now, we see model!Kei torturing and hurting Ruka in various ways. At first it doesn't look that bad, in some pictures he's just cutting his hair, but eventually it gets worse and model!Kei starts beating him, choking him and breaking his arms. Photographer!Kei is having much more fun now and he seems to really like these pictures. Model!Kei looks very uncomfortable, but then Ruka walks up to him and gives him a genuine smile for a moment. Model!Kei calms down, smiles back and continues to work.
"I am so much more than this
More than my works, my image, my reputation
You're in pain? Well, I'm in pain too
So can we at least suffer together, please?"
In the middle of it, model!Kei suddenly falls on top of Ruka and he looks worried at first and he tries to apologize, but Ruka doesn't seem to mind and simply pokes model!Kei's cheek. Model!Kei laughs and Ruka smiles again, but when model!Kei turns to photographer!Kei, his face expression immediately changes to a shocked one as he sees that it's not Kei who is taking pictures of them now, but his friends. His friends look really scared and model!Kei gets up and tries to explain the situation, but it's too late and some of his friends run away, some of them look at him with a disappointed expression and some of them punch him, slap him and they overall seem to be more angry rather than scared.
"Come on, why would you betray me like this?
You're the only thing that's stopping my life from being PERFECT
So like, love me, love me, love me, please!
I can still be your beautiful mess, just give me a chance!"
We see model!Kei lying on the floor. The room is completely empty and Ruka is gone. The door opens and model!Kei looks hopeful for a second, but then he sees that it's not Ruka or his friends or photographer!Kei. 
It's his friends' girlfriends.
They start to take pictures of him too and now those pictures show model!Kei getting tortured in the exact same ways he tortured Ruka, but we can't see who exactly is doing that to him. Almost all women look emotionless about it and have rather serious expressions, but one of them is looking away, showing that she doesn't approve what they're doing and she doesn't want to join them. 
"This is it, this is my punishment
The hunter became the prey or at least that's what they say
But my love means nothing if it doesn't make me cry
So I'll cry, I'll cry a lot, just say that you love me too, alright?"
The pictures start to get more and more blurry until it's hard to say if it's even Kei who is getting tortured. Finally, one of the pictures shows a woman getting smothered with a pillow. The next one shows a woman getting choked with a rope. The third one shows a woman covered in knife wounds. The fourth one shows a woman lying on the floor with many glass shards around her. 
We can see someone showing the fifth picture to model!Kei and we can't see what's going on in the picture, but the picture seems to be wet, like it fell in the water. 
"You did it, you did this for me
Your love means everything to me now
Oh no, oh no, I'm in so much pain
So like, can you kiss it better or something?"
Someone is still taking pictures of model!Kei as he's looking at it and then he drops it, smiles as more and more pictures get taken and suddenly pulls out a gun. The last picture shows nothing but blood on the wall that is the same image color as Kei's. 
"Actually don't, I kinda like it"
The video ends.

Can we talk about the fact Tosh had a little brother? And he’s just completely ignored in every way.
He’s been mentioned twice, ever. The first time is in the big finish audio ‘Torchwood_cascade_CDRIP.tor’ when the virus accused Tosh of abandoning him which properly pissed her off.
The second time was in a deleted scene in ‘Captain Jack Harkness’ (thank you shooting scripts) where she is talking Tim. She asks how old he is and he says 18. Tosh responds by saying ‘same age as my little brother… I hardly ever see him.’
What we can work out from this is that Tosh’s brother was born around 1989/1990 and, seeing as the audio is set before Gwen joined torchwood, we know he died before then. On the wiki, it says he died before Tosh joined Torchwood. Even though, unless I’m misinterpreting it, the CJH deleted scene makes it seem like he’s still alive.
That is literally every piece of information on Tosh’s brother that we have though. I don’t know why I actually care but the shooting scripts have made me realise how many things were cut that could’ve led to these great storylines. I think they need to utilise the character in some way.
Note: if he would’ve been 18 in CJH and died before Tosh joined Torchwood then he would’ve been only about 14 when he died which is absolutely horrible :D

So I put the power of friendship and impractical outfits into Metroid Dread. No suits, no shields: we die in a giant laser hand cannon fight like true warriors.
#raven beak#chozo#a lot of effort for a bit#i thought back to that one piece i did a few years ago where i put raven beak in bikini armor and i said#'wouldn't it be funny to see him actually fight in something like that?'#because as we all know exposed flesh in combat is very humorous when large guns that shoot beams are involved#and then my train of thought fell to 'wouldn't it be funny if Samus was covered more than Raven Beak is'#'to subvert the sexy outfits thing a little bit but also drive home the 'god-emperor of Chozo Victoria's Secret' look he has going for him'#So the original sketch was created July 21 2023. And I redid it on April 10 2024.#and built Raven Beak bulky like a pro wrestler to really drive home the drama/hamminess of the situation but also to make him look stronger#my outfit design continues to be lacking but my commitment to the bit remains unmatched#... it's also so much easier to draw silly bikini armor that makes no sense than it is to put characters in regular clothes. or armor.#if you want a 'lore justification' for the lack of armor let's just say Raven Beak doesn't need the suit to be powerful.#and Samus is about to demonstrate that he has sorely underestimated her. by a mile. or a kilometer.#anyways the differences in their outfits match their upbringing and general philosophy#Samus opts for the more practical leotard offering her mobility and lightweight motion#Raven Beak guns for the full regalia that shows off as much muscle as possible while not skipping out on symbols of rank#and he NEVER leaves home without a cape#the cape is a must if shoulder-mounted black hole generators aren't available.

Sometimes I think there are certain parts of Wolf 359 that feel so familiar to me that I almost forget what they are like the first time round.
Like, I've just been thinking about how in the finale, after Minkowski gets shot, we don't hear any noise from her all through Cutter's gloating speech. We hear her gasp as the bullet hits and the show immediately cuts away to a different scene. Then when we rejoin the confrontation with Cutter, we don't hear Minkowski make any noise - not even a groan of pain or a laboured breath - for over a minute. And because it's an audio drama, this means that we don't have any direct indication of just how injured she is, of whether she's fully conscious, of whether she's even still alive. Lovelace's reactions can't tell us much while she's struggling against Cutter's control. And I wouldn't put it past Cutter to gloat to someone unconscious.
The first noise we do hear Minkowski make after being shot in the stomach - the first proof we have that she's still with us - is her gathering her strength and declaring "Renée Minkowski... and that is more than enough to kick your ass!", before punching Cutter. Which is always an incredibly powerful moment. But there's a particular power to it when it also serves as the reveal that Minkowski is still conscious and able to put up resistance. The moment when she asserts her ownership of her own identity feels almost like a moment of rising from the potentially-dead.

#every time a character does the whole “talk softly and reassure the dangerous person” thing while also walking ominously towards them ughh#it drives me absolutely nuts. like. you're trying to talk them down from paranoia while you're threateningly walking towards them?#someone does that to me and I'm shooting them at least in the leg or stabbing with whatever makeshift spear I've manufactured#anyway. criminal minds is getting real annoying with the whole pathologizing of people.#like. guy shows signs of being very good at torturing people and they go “ah yes.. a pure sadist” or whatever the fuck#I get that it's shitty crime drama stuff but still. ugh.#I just. I fucking hate when people take the obviously wrong route when talking to mentally destabilized people.#like. people are shit at talking to suicidal people. are shit at talking down irrational fears. people are shit at talking down paranoia.#I hate how people don't fucking know how to interact with freaks I hate how people don't know how to interact with me#everyone acts on their own level without understanding what it's like in any way#and so everyone just projects their own reality onto you without performing any sort of empathy or exercising any sort of understanding#and I want to scream so fucking loud#you're all living in a cotton candy world and your words disintegrate in my humidity#and it's so fucking lonely#and my mind has been clear this past week. the autistic need for pressure satisfied by this prescription pushing on my brain#and I can feel the cogs turning. the wheels and pins and linked gear trains and drive shafts and traction band motors.#all the parts of my brain churning around and I can't get close because the heat from my motor makes my hood hot to the touch.#I burn your hand as you try and press your palm against my flanks.#only think saddle and tack make contact. strict guidelines and harsh rules to govern me.#when I am free I buck and I shift gait and I drag you under too-low branches#also. compared to Hannibal I can basically listen to criminal minds as a podcast. none of the visuals really contribute anything to the show#like. feels very shallow

rewatching ben whishaw's richard ii and yea i think the biggest difference between his and the rsc version is that he plays richard's flippancy/disregard for other people's lives completely straight and in a kind of sinister way while david plays it for humor
#shoutout to the scene with dt's richard and gaunt because it's so FUCKING funny dwhgjkflkjwjlw#it's like that one twelve scene in dw where he's reading clara's flashcards for social interaction#and he's like 'uh i'm sorry for the death of your friend slash family member slash pet'. Same energy#ricky 2#ws#in terms of 'what's more fun for me to watch' i like david better but both are v good ways to play the character imo#one emphasizes the dislikability and the other emphasizes the hubris#although i don't think playing richard's character for humor would work as well without an audience to bounce it off of#one of the weakest parts of david's 2009 film hamlet is that (now that i've listened to an audio clip of the stage recording)#the hamlet w rosencrantz/guildenstern bit in act 2 scene 2 is filled with too much dead air where the live audience would normally laugh#and like hamlet Is meant to be more Funny as a play in a way richard ii is not so it's not like. dealbreaking or anything#but i am so grateful that the rsc richard ii is a stage recording rather than. made for tv bc i can imagine a world#where tv dt richard ii would have a bunch of scenes like the hamlet/ros/guil scene where it would drag more than it needed to#so like while i do slightly prefer the rsc version both versions are ultimately best suited to their respective mediums#also rory kinnear plays henry a lot more human and sympathetic than nigel lindsay does#which means that while he is much much much more entertaining to watch#i do feel like the wider theme of the fragility and sheer ridiculousness of the monarchy as a concept comes thru better in the rsc version#as well as (perhaps accidentally..) satirizing the english nationalistic sentiment expressed by a bunch of the characters#but then again i don't think that's what hollow crown was shooting for they wanted to do a grounded drama and they did a grounded drama

I finally gotta give in, Poldark is literally just a soap opera. This is giving SUCH “at my aunt’s house while she’s trying to make dinner and look after three kids and left the tv on while going out for a smoke and Guadalupe just came on so you might as well watch” energy
