Wouldnt it just be truly fucking awful if it was only people out here, and nothing else?

anyways this is like my favourite carpenter monologue of all time it destroys me. so yk i had to draw it. ALSO you can BET i used @catwyk 's incredible parish designs and @valtsv 's leech halo for faulkner. because i gotta steal their smartypants ideas

very funny to me that paige makes her only friends when they kidnap her and are just awful at it. then at the nearest opportunity she kidnaps and befriends hayward. tried and true method!!!!

I'm of the opinion that in-universe Hayward absolutely knows he is dropping the most poignant lines. His problem is he has no friends and he's the kind of guy to walk into the station break room at 7am and choose a coworker to say the most deranged and poetic thing to - which results in everyone thinking he's got 14 screws loose and steering clear of him. Which is a self-perpetuating cycle.

Season 3 Hayward's absolutely dramatic transformation into a kind, thoughtful, composed, compassionate, smart man is, of course, off the heels of "finding community" and "feeling called to a cause that helps others" and all that whatever. But I think very specifically this transformation came because now Hayward can walk into any room at 7am and drop whatever existential banger line he thought of while brushing his teeth and literally everyone will go "Root Keeper that is so wise." "Root Keeper tell us more of your truths." And this, very specifically, is what was needed to fix Hayward.

it's so hard to talk about the silt verses with people who haven't listened because sometimes even mentioning your favorite characters is a spoiler. if i tell my friends who are on season one that hayward made me cry so hard i nearly threw up, Multiple Times, they're gonna be like "...huh. that's a little disappointing. he's such a well-developed antagonist that i REALLY didn't expect them to go the copaganda route :/" and i'll be like no. listen. Listen--

Tsv character portraits. It was very important to me to get my vision of them out of my head after I listened to the finale for some reason. Hopefully it’s obvious who’s who

(1/4) HAYWARD

[agodmustfeed]

lets all kill ourselves

[lights-at-night]

you know i never see people talking about hayward basically being good ending faulkner. hayward has his whole monologue about playing a role for his mother which is so similar to faulkner's high prophet arc - both of them played into a role for the happiness of others, so much so that the act became entangled with themselves, then grew dissatisfied. the difference is that hayward does get rid of the performance that snares him and finds that new role and purpose that faulkner wants so desperately in paige. and faulkner dies wanting
