3.5: The Lobby Boy Dies
A magazine-clipping collage for one of my favourite episodes! I’ve added a transcript of the text under the cut.
A KILLER
Caught
TRAPPED AND BURNING
cast into the blazing furnace
He does not act
one individual who is
totally yielded
forced into total surrender
Helplessness and hopelessness are the ultimate signs of despair
his eyes were opened and melted.
boiling and simmering,
behind closed doors.
a heavy dead bolt to the first and a forbidding
Custom building
nightmare
CAUTION
NEVER LEAVE A BURNING CANDLE UNATTENDED.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PICK UP OR MOVE CANDLE.
STOP BURNING WHEN
anguish
under construction
I could barely breathe.
I’M WORRIED ABOUT
WHAT’S COOKING
I was
built to die.
and though I give
my body to be burned,
the TERROR NEVER ends
I’ll never get over what happened
will genuinely think he’s going to die,’ I heard him tell her.
‘Don’t panic, but you’re going to be in the worst pain of your entire life,’
If you’re suffering
gripped by fear
a feeling of impending doom.
If you can’t stand the heat
well, maybe you should get out.
Quick
QUICK
quick
Quick
RUN FOR IT!
but
He was
locked in.
WARNING: Burn within sight. Keep away from things that catch fire.
Angelic fire
CARAMELISED
the delicate skin around
your eyes.
‘I’m gonna die!’ I screamed, struggling to breathe.
Choking and asphyxiation are common accidents.
the pain
was unbearable
I was
begging for help
TRAPPED & BURNING
buried
in
THE ASHES
Feeling sick and
Crispy
So much
Smoke:
Remember, you don’t need flame to die in a fire.
Burn BABY, Burn!
Within 30 seconds, the smoke and temperature reached critical levels, and within 60 seconds, both internal cameras failed. Initially, that wasn’t from flames but from dense smoke.
Deliverance
What is the way out?
you have no hope of escaping the terrors of hell
Therein lies the lesson, folks. If your smoke alarm goes off in the middle of the night, don’t ignore it. Get out

Okay, this is just to put simple info about him, like his height, pronouns and elemental power, the rest i'm going to make in another post, like how his powers work, or his sexuality (i'm still deciding so i'm gonna leave It to show in the other posts).
Also his hair was long when he first appeared at season 4 on the tournament, after that he only appears again with Skylor and the other Elemental Masters on season 10 and his hair shorter.

the thing is that they're so fascinated by sex, they love sex, they can't imagine a world without sex - they need sex to sell things, they need sex to be part of their personality, they need sex to prove their power - but they hate sex. they are disgusted by it.
sex is the only thing that holds their attention, and it is also the thing that can never be discussed directly.
you can't tell a child the normal names for parts of their body, that's sexual in nature, because the body isn't a body, it's a vessel of sex. it doesn't matter that it's been proven in studies (over and over) that kids need to know the names of their genitals; that they internalize sexual shame at a very young age and know it's 'dirty' to have a body; that it overwhelmingly protects children for them to have the correct words to communicate with. what matters is that they're sexual organs. what matters is that it freaks them out to think about kids having body parts - which only exist in the context of sex.
it's gross to talk about a period or how to check for cancer in a testicle or breast. that is nasty, illicit. there will be no pain meds for harsh medical procedures, just because they feature a cervix.
but they will put out an ad of you scantily-clad. you will sell their cars for them, because you have abs, a body. you will drip sex. you will ooze it, like a goo. like you were put on this planet to secrete wealth into their open palms.
they will hit you with that same palm. it will be disgusting that you like leather or leashes, but they will put their movie characters in leather and latex. it will be wrong of you to want sexual freedom, but they will mark their success in the number of people they bed.
they will crow that it's inappropriate for children so there will be no lessons on how to properly apply a condom, even to teens. it's teaching them the wrong things. no lessons on the diversity of sexual organ growth, none on how to obtain consent properly, none on how to recognize when you feel unsafe in your body. if you are a teenager, you have probably already been sexualized at some point in your life. you will have seen someone also-your-age who is splashed across a tv screen or a magazine or married to someone three times your age. you will watch people pull their hair into pigtails so they look like you. so that they can be sexy because of youth. one of the most common pornography searches involves newly-18 young women. girls. the words "barely legal," a hiss of glass sand over your skin.
barely legal. there are bills in place that will not allow people to feel safe in their own bodies. there are people working so hard to punish any person for having sex in a way that isn't god-fearing and submissive. heteronormative. the sex has to be at their feet, on your knees, your eyes wet. when was the first time you saw another person crying in pornography and thought - okay but for real. she looks super unhappy. later, when you are unhappy, you will close your eyes and ignore the feeling and act the role you have been taught to keep playing. they will punish the sex workers, remove the places they can practice their trade safely. they will then make casual jokes about how they sexually harass their nanny.
and they love sex but they hate that you're having sex. you need to have their ornamental, perfunctory, dispassionate sex. so you can't kiss your girlfriend in the bible belt because it is gross to have sex with someone of the same gender. so you can't get your tubes tied in new england because you might change your mind. so you can't admit you were sexually assaulted because real men don't get hurt, you should be grateful. you cannot handle your own body, you cannot handle the risks involved, let other people decide that for you. you aren't ready yet.
but they need you to have sex because you need to have kids. at 15, you are old enough to parent. you are not old enough to hear the word fuck too many times on television.
they are horrified by sex and they never stop talking about it, thinking about it, making everything unnecessarily preverted. the saying - a thief thinks everyone steals. they stand up at their podiums and they look out at the crowd and they sign a bill into place that makes sexwork even more unsafe and they stand up and smile and sign a bill that makes gender-affirming care illegal and they get up and they shrug their shoulders and write don't say gay and they get up, and they make the world about sex, but this horrible, plastic vision of it that they have. this wretched, emotionless thing that holds so much weight it's staggering. they put their whole spine behind it and they push and they say it's normal!
this horrible world they live in. disgusted and also obsessed.

Monkey Man is good for many many reasons, but in my look through the tag and for some reason no one is mentioning the comedy at play?
Like guys, he runs at a window to do the big Action Hero Jump and bouces off like a pigeon. The Indian Three wheeler is built like a fast and the furious car, has the license plate s3xy car, and is named after Nikki Minaj. The one kick KO. They play Boney M as he kills people in the Elevator. It's really well crafted

LILIENNE, THE NET PICKER - "Isn't it strange," she breaks the silence abruptly, "For this all-powerful thing, the sun... to be so generous towards us? You know, the best time to go out fishing is usually toward sunset, when the water is warmer..."
The @palestaticexchange is back and I couldn't pass up participating in it again. So here is my art of the Kim Kitsuragi for @siliconesausage :]
