#im kissing him on the mouth

One of my favourite aspects of Leland Coyle's character is the small glimmers of humanity which will occasionally show themselves, like flecks of light against the overall moral darkness that consumes him.

He is, without a doubt, an irredeemable piece of shit don't get me wrong. However, I firmly believe that he knows it and wrestles with the guilt; projecting these feelings onto those around him with a pathological need to punish others and prove himself otherwise. Relatedly, religion plays a key role in Coyle's character, moral presentation, and upbringing as a conservative southern man of the era.

Moral judgement and punishment are core aspects of bible belt Christianity, particularly the old testament as referenced in the line "you about to find evidence of a wrathful interventionist God", and I believe Coyle suffers with a great deal of religious trauma and guilt as a clearly closeted bisexual living in a violently homophobic time period.

This internalised homophobia and projected guilt for his sadism and bloodlust could be read into the lines "you was born guilty and you'll die just like it", "oh, jesus help me", and "If someone would just make a prison that would hold me. Someplace peaceful and close, someplace warm I could not escape".

A particularly eye opening moment in regards to this interpretation of Coyle is the replacement film reel in the MK trial Teach The Police Officer, in which we see footage of Leland cowering on a cell bunk. Whilst it could be said that his body language is that of fear, I would argue that it is more likely to be a result of the very guilt and shame discussed.

Coyle clearly feels safe at Sinyala, freely roaming amongst dangerous expops, and unphased, if not a little irritated, by Easterman as seen in the Villains Trailer. Why then, would he cover his face and recoil, presumably alone, in his cell? With regards to the religious trauma, I believe it is a divine moral punishment which he fears: "the finger of God" as "one day we'll all face judgement".

Whilst Coyle had been guilty of a veritable laundry list of crimes prior to Murkoff, it is evident that Easterman's influence has "changed mister police man. Made him different" with "a little more meanness every day". Thus, it could be argued that the extremes of cruelty Easterman has enabled Coyle to reach have surpassed whatever inhumane moral threshold there is for what remains of his conscience.

Anyways I can make him worse-

it's always i love you and never "leave." "huh?" "i'll tell everyone that you died in the woods. so you can go back to your brother and get to open a bar just like you've always dreamed of." "why?" "i don't know. maybe because you'd sacrifice a hand for me. or maybe because i've crossed your line. or because i... i like it when you're happy. just leave. go now before i change my mind. just go! that's an order!"

drunk alhaitham who yaps about the improvements the sumeru education system should make & kaveh, also drunk, attentively listening- the literal most beautiful man in whole of sumeru, with sparkly red eyes, messy blond hair, and a soft blush across his cheeks, with his full attention on the autistic scribe. flustering alhaitham to the point he stops mid sentence, averting his eyes, "oh fuck."
