"Not much stays clean up here, Vaultie. You'll see."

obsessed with how the ghoul views lucy's clean principles as morality of convenience, as something that is unsustainable in the world she now finds herself in, something she will lose. not only that, he's determined to be the thing she loses it to. to him, she's fresh snow: an inevitable corruption.

hell, he probably thinks he's doing her a favor. he's thinking of all the ways he's seen people lose that part of themselves. he's seen the worst humanity has to offer. he's seen 'a decided uptick' in torture. what we see him put her through is small potatoes by comparison.

she's not in her vault anymore, and if she doesn't stop acting like it, there's a whole lot worse out there than him.

God I just keep thimking abt. The season 3 finale. And the Fight. And the Promise.

Because... yeah, Nandor's whole claim that the fight was a ~test~ to see if he was ~strong enough~ just reeks of bullshit. It comes out of nowhere and we have no reason to think Nandor especially feels in danger of anything at this point...? Like Guillermo has already saved them from the whole damn vampire council. What more could he even have to prove lol.

But if not that... why such a sudden change of heart? Is he just embarrassed he got beat and trying to regain his place of authority? But even by Nandor's standards that's such a HUGE leap for such a small thing. Turning Guillermo is the ONE THING he's never even properly contemplated doing up until this point. Also, if he weren't actually fully serious and solemn, there's no way he'd pull off that act. He'd ruin the moment in 2 seconds.

His comment after Guillermo leaves doesn't reveal much, either. Like, yes, he was caught off guard that Guillermo was fast, but is that all he has to say? There's definitely more to this scene, so that's an almost suspiciously obvious statement. Like it's not out-of-character, it's just... the viewer expects an explanation, but doesn't get it.

Frankly, the whole thing kinda bothered me. I just couldn't really get into his head about it. And that's such an important scene I really DID want to understand it. Nandor finally offered to actually turn Guillermo, and I didn't understand why!

But season 5 explains it.

He thought, finally, that Guillermo had what it takes to be a vampire.

That he could be vicious. That he could fight to the death, and kill. Not for the sake of protecting somebody else. But for his own sake.

He saw the killer in him, and he finally let himself believe that Guillermo would be able to live off the lives of innocent people and not break himself in two.

But Guillermo, as far as Nandor understood it, got cold feet. He realised that he didn't want to be a vampire and left him behind.

And even when Nandor realised later that that wasn't the case... for one, the moment's over. And for two, why didn't Guillermo seek him out? Why didn't Guillermo demand that Nandor uphold his half of the bargain? Where did that determined, vicious instinct go?

Godddd I'm trying to remember how it all went but is that why he provoked Guillermo so hard at the night market, too???? He wanted so badly to see that desperate and dangerous Guillermo again, like he might force it back out of him and reveal it is who he really is inside??????

You see how happy Rain is to see Payu aka "P' Big Bike"? That is why I just CANNOT deal with how genuinely disappointed and hurt he is as a result of Payu pretending not to remember him—look at how his expression falls ;;

And what kills me is that at some point, Payu could've probably still gotten Rain WITHOUT manipulating, mansplaining, and manwhoring his way into a meet-cute (using this very loosely; my guy was out here committing crimes lol) because Rain was gone from the moment he laid eyes on Payu I just—

You know what, Payu? *readjusts rings* meet me outside

WHAT IN THE TRUMAN SHOW

[unanimoustwins]

i dont see enough briefcase of holdings in gillion art that mfer canonically always has it on him

[angelsdean]

looks up "silly" in the dictionary

[cupidswurld]

honestly only the first 3 seasons of supernatural are valid to me. and s3 is pushing it already. like holy crap ur telling me there's 12 other seasons of this and some gay angel? um gross.

if you read this and you think 'man you sound like you dont even like the show' well you would be right. i love the production of it (which loses itself past s3), i love its american backwater road trip of it (which loses itself past s3), i love the idea of spn and its bones of creation and kripke's developing vision (which loses itself past s3)

anyway eric kripke what happened. (stroking spn s1 in my lap) who did this to you baby. (a tear rolls down my cheek)

[jemmo]

FINALLY I DRAW SOMETHING!!!!!!!

some Joseph, both young (around 1980 i'd say, when he was traveling w Stan a few years before the portal incident) and old (~2017, now an art teacher at Westchester High). i like to think the first one is a picture Stan took of him while they were traveling and the second one is his staff photo at WH. the more things change the more they stay the same. i might give em backgrounds and foregrounds to look like that

he's had that jacket since the 70s. real leather will last you.

no glasses alts + the first sketch below

closure

[kerorowhump]

ive talked in the past about keroro's desire to keep things as they are, static, because it's the only way he can have both keron and earth, but while rewatching ep140b I realized it shows the opposite side of this struggle

that no matter his efforts, it's a futile attempt and nothing is improving because everything is staying exactly the same. he spent a week racking his brain for a solution but the episode ends by showing us that he doesn't find one. could it be because the whole time he was fighting alone?

(his voice breaks in the first screenshot...) this to me feels like the same motivation he would have for invading. wanting to leave a mark, making something of yourself, mattering.

chibikero is in shadow, like the gunpla's shadow. he's not real anymore but he represents all the expectations and lost potential on his shoulders. while the small gunpla is in light like keroro. that's the reality of it. but that's also how he feels. small. he hasn't achieved any of his goals. he hasn't lived up to anything he said he would, everything he based his identity on. he's a "pitiful invader". his desire to matter perfectly encapsulates his abandonment issues too.

this collection will outlive him. it will speak of his greatness when he's gone. it's as much his identity as the invasion. it's also his tomb in the exact same way.

he's so happy for a moment organizing his whole collection on the shelves that he thought were gonna solve everything, enjoying the moment as it was, but in the end nothing changed.

is it because he's expendable? easily replaceable, like by a clone? is it because he doesn't see his own worth, so he has to get some (the keron star, his collection, the invasion)? because if he's not useful, he'll be thrown out? or because he doesn't want to be forgotten and left behind?

and yet

he remains insignificant and his fight is fruitless.
