gonna swing a bat at a hornet's nest real quick

anyway i understand a desire to play around with the fact that jack definitely has violent tendencies and can be a scary and fucked up little dude in canon, *especially* as the series goes on and his grip on reality becomes more and more tenuous as he faces more horrors. that's very interesting to explore, i get that.

but i think people are a bit too eager to latch onto that at times and lose other parts of his characterization in the process. i don't think jack is some scary conniving gaslighter who wants to hurt everyone around him and is like one bad day away from doing so. i think he truly is just A Guy

The people close to Taylor who would probably give the most interesting descriptions of Taylor outside of her own family and Travis are Jack and Aaron. She has probably shared things with them (thanks to working with them constantly) that most people would take to the grave. And whenever they talk about her they clearly hold her in very high esteem as a person. But I am really curious if they were given unfiltered thoughts about her, what would they be?

i think they would still speak very highly of her, but if they were completely honest and unfiltered they'd probably share a lot more about some of the journeys she's been on, especially recently

It is completely in character for Percy to say he has some dumb questions, then ask incredibly valid questions that no one has brought up till now

I had a good look through everyone's least and most favourite foods, Rook is probably the only one who would enjoy Vegemite. And Grim eats everything.

people really be like "why is this character not behaving 100% effectively in line with their values and intentions while experiencing overwhelmingly strong emotions :/ so ooc" as if they themselves don't make 6 irrational emotionally fueled decisions before breakfast like everyone else

One thing I’m curious to see established in NSBU is whether or not the movie characters see themselves or not when talking from the reflections.

Did Vic Ethanol see himself or did he see a scrawny, scared Wendell who had no idea what to do? Did G13 see Usha, who had well established herself as not tech savvy at that point, and still encourage her when she went beyond?

Did Jack Manhattan make out with himself or not?

THERE AIN'T NO ATLAS, KID. NEVER WAS.

if you peel him back far enough, there's nothing but a pile of theater masks

like, it's really fun how fontaine starts spiralling out the closer jack gets to him in the final arc of the game and returns to appropriating the image of family (the fake family in the beginning, the flawed father position later) to try and appeal to jack in some way but it's like. buddy. baby. you already took off your mask. anything you try and put on after this is going to come across as cheap and desperate. the magic is gone! and personally? I'm hooting and hollering

I just keep circling back to “I find the artifacts/Cried over a hat/Cursed the space that I needed/I trace the evidence/Make it make some sense/Why the wound is still bleeding” as we slowly get more information about this album.

“Yeah I listen to all kinds of music” and their playlist is always filled with Will Wood, Tally Hall, THD, Jack Stauber, Chonny Jash, Jhariah, and Lemon Demon.

I think the newsies guilt trip Jack over his betrayal endlessly.

Race: hey can you buy me lunch?

Jack: no you can afford it I saw how many papes you sold today

Race: *dramatic sigh* but *looks down* you know, with that fancy new job o yours n... *kicks his foot forward with his hands in his pockets* n the way you... *looks up at him with big eyes* well, you know...

BELLE & JACK THE ARTFUL DODGER, 1.05 "The Duel"

unbearable to watch sam guilt-trip dean into parenting jack actually.

"She may have been placed here since last night." "Indeed? That is so, and by whom?" "I do not know. Some one has done it."

Van Helsing, now fully aware that he is in the novel Dracula, holding Jack's face down in a pile of Evidence That Weird Supernatural Shit is Afoot, extremely tired: "Friend John. Come on."

Jack, spitting and hissing: "Rationalism did this. I don't know how, but it did."

"There are certain facets of my personality that I'm not giving away to some character in a movie. They're mine. And they're mine as Jimmy Spader."

"I think things are great when we accept chaos in life. That goes against my being obsessive-compulsive and ritualistic, but I don't mind adversity. The fight is okay with me. My life is wonderful. It's a grand time, you know?"

"I'm not much good at good, clean fun—and I'm not sure what to do with it. It's just a matter of taste. I like it a lot dirtier."

Happy 64th birthday, James Spader (b. February 7, 1960)! ❤️
