31 Days of Horror Recs: @docholligay's prompt from, like, 3 years ago for Inside No 9 episodes I think she'd like

(Sorry about how long it took. >.<)

Quick note for non-Doc people: Inside No 9 is an anthology series. They largely stay in the realm of horror, comedy (both regular and dark), drama, and some really Fucked Up Shit. These and the very first episode of the whole series are, imo, the best of the whole series. There are plenty of other not-great-but-still-really-good episodes too, if you want to check out the whole thing.

Note that due to show's penchant for twists, I won't be writing any of my own thoughts down; I'm just going to put the episode title, season, and number down as well as a brief synopsis and leave y'all to it.

Doc, I watched these specifically with you in mind so I hope that even if you don't like them, you'll at least find them interesting.

The 12 Days of Christine (season 2, episode 2)

When Christine brings a man home from a costume party, her life begins to unravel.

The Devil of Christmas (season 3, episode 1)

A director's commentary of a movie he made about a family vacationing at an alpine chalet where they are told of the local legend of Krampus.

Zanzibar (season 4, episode 1)

Strangely farcical goings-on are in store for a group of unwitting guests who all have adjoining rooms. Done entirely in iambic pentameter.

Loves Great Adventure (season 5, episode 3)

Trevor and Julia always want to make Christmas really special for their family but, with money tight, it won't be easy.

Me, foolishly: Oh man, I should join a pro-endo server, maybe I got the wrong idea about endos and maybe they're actually decent!

Days of bullshit about headspaces being "automatically there" and "not created", people acting like the headspace is a real place, people praising "tulpamancers" for being "so helpful and intelligent and amazing" (eugh) and a wide variety of other nonsense later: Ah.

I think one character archetype I like is Really Cool Elite Smug Asshole Antihero Scheming Guy, except I look at them and go (if they aren't already in canon) "what if he was a clown. what if he had terrible judgment and impulse control and very little intrapersonal intelligence. what if he was constantly stepping on rakes and then being upset and confused that rake handles keep hitting him in the face."

I think this is what Yonemura felt like when writing for Sasword after his intro eps

a bit obsessed with the idea of kusakabe dying as a form of sacrifice to specifically protect/save somebody else. it's consistent enough with the theme of the past generation achieving no meaningful feats against significant threats but it's also ironic enough that someone without a technique and who claims their philosophy is primarily self-sacrificial - although he tends to stay from his own ideals in critical moments, proving he's not only brave when necessary but he does have a sense of responsabilty and guilt - ultimately redeems themselves through death resulting in the achievement of something his colleagues have failed to do. not that i'm wishing for him to die, i hope he doesn't. but it would also make a clear-cut distinction between him and a character like mei mei, who narratively serves a very similar purpose (besides her being a foil to nanami). to have someone be awarded by their selfishness just for it to not be worth much within a world and system that runs and sustains itself due to the sorcerer's labour power, whose only means of subsistence is to sell themselves away. a class of people who is doomed no matter what path they choose to take, as long as they do not break free from their duties and as long as the system doesn't collapse. a death that could serve as a symbol of punishment towards solidarity and altruism but a win for revolution.

if labels are forced to confirm to whatever whims an individual wants, is it a label at all words have meanings you can't just make a word mean what you want it to be ???

Using this as an audio reference for the posts I'm making, but to summarize:

Yuri starts out mad.

Yuri tries to calm himself down with a deep breath to ask for details instead of going through it angry.

Flynn doesn't say "like a good knight" in the sense of putting himself down. He simply says "as a knight" (the tl here doesn't use that, but with that included it's basically along the lines of "even though I had doubts, as a knight, I was determined to follow my orders").

Once Yuri has answers he calms down significantly.

Yuri uses " 'ttaku", which is a shortened down version of "mattaku" (Yuri often shortens words and speaks very casually), which in this particular situation basically would mean "geez", or "good grief". In this manner, it's expressive of exasperation/frustration/etc.

Yuri never mentions that "Flynn told him what to do" like the dub does (because in fact Flynn did not ever tell Yuri what to do. He only gave Sodia and his other knights orders. He expressed his own desire to take responsibility, but never told Yuri and his friends what to do).

At this point you can tell the anger has gone out of him and that he's calmed down, now that Flynn is approaching this with admission and responsibility.

Sodia is asking that Flynn returns as soon as possible (I believe this was a general translation error).

Flynn's thank you to Yuri is tonally much more heartfelt.

Yuri's response and gratefulness at Flynn coming back to himself is tonally much more heartfelt, relieved and sincere.
