thing is i don't really feel bad for any tma character. i get disappointed when a character i like dies, but i can't observe the series from an "i feel bad for these people" perspective, because it's so damn fascinating to observe it from a thought exercise perspective instead. not "would i feel bad if this bad thing happened to this person", but rather "would this person be bad if they did this thing?" or "if a bad thing happened to a bad person, would they deserve it? is pain something you can deserve?"

which is why malevolent is fucking destroying me because it's not a thought exercise or a philosophical ramble, it's a story. and i'm viewing it from the perspective of "this is a story that i am being told about awful things happening to people".

all of this to say, i feel genuinely bad for arthur lester and i don't know how to deal with that

I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere yet, so I'll say it myself:

Did anyone else get the feeling that Ms. Manee, the woman Great hit with his car, was forced to do what she did? That someone made her do it for some reason and it wasn't because she was suicidal?

Idk why, but her face, how desperate she looked and how she was staring at the upcoming vehicles (as if scanning for the one she was looking for) made me wonder if there's more to her story than what we've been told. Also, the place it happened seems weird to me; a tunnel that passengers would only use if necessary, because it's dangerous to cross with the speed of the cars passing by.

Wouldn't she go to a more accessible spot to do it? Or am I being naive in my thinking here?

People have mentioned the possibility of her having debt as a reason for her decision to commit suicide, but to me, that's a potential tool for her to be threatened with, pushed to the limit, to do what she may have been ordered to do: give Great('s family) some trouble. Maybe she was told that if she did it, her son would be spared - because yeah, even if I'd like to ignore it, her son being mentioned not once but twice, seems important. Like her son could be a character in the story - an essential one even.

I'm just typing as I'm thinking this, but I couldn't get this theory out of my head, so I'm sharing it.

Hey can we talk about how freaking strong blitz is? Like he regularly picks up other characters all the time.

"we come back to my house, sun comes up, people in my canal—theres like 3 guys driving at 6am to go you know do the sunrise fishing excursion"

"—and it just like driving out of my like canal, i was like this is incredible! it was the most sereal feeling ill ever feel in my life"

"i could use a canal to drive out of like what is going on? you said that twice now! most people drive out of their street, out of their driveways—" "just a subtle flex" "he lives on a canal!" "hes like, lives in a canal this guy!" "im tryna paint the picture for you guys!

alternatively the canal cut or maffhew lives in ft lauderdale and it is absolutely impossible to not mention the canal infrastructure of the area during storytime and he gets chirped for it
