Thinking about how Pete used to be a priest and Kevin's (unnamed) mom was a nun. The fact that Pete was clearly stripped of his title. And we don't hear anything about Kevin's mother beyond the fact that she's dead. Thinking about how Diane says that she thinks of Pete as her "creepy uncle" and hates him. Thinking about how Kevin being born was likely a huge scandal for Pete and his mother and led to him being kicked out of the church. Thinking about how Pete doesn't seem to have any remorse at all for the potential abuse of power that occurred which led to Kevin's conception. Thinking about how Pete was the one most likely to make jokes objectifying women with Kevin. Thinking about how Kevin was likely raised believing he was some sort of miracle or chosen one, destined for great things solely because acknowledgment of the shame surrounding the circumstances of his birth would require Pete admitting fault. Thinking about how normalized it must have been in his childhood to see women being talked down to, objectified, sexualized and made into nothing more than plot devices to powerful men. Thinking about the sense of entitlement he must have had baked into him, and the deep fear hiding underneath all of it that one day everyone is going to realize he's his father's biggest skeleton in the closet. Thinking about this show having one of the most nuanced and complex portrayals of the cycle of abuse and patriarchal violence that I've ever seen!!!

I need her to kill him

Bro it was crazy when they revealed that Kevin pressured Allison to move in with him after only 2 months of dating but it was even crazier when they revealed that Kevin and Allison met on the night of her father’s funeral!!!!! So essentially Kevin preyed on this woman that was grieving and she ended up in a horrible emotionally abusive marriage. A cautionary tale indeed.

It’s absolutely insane to me how people didn’t clock Kevin as abusive when he literally reported the car as stolen even though he knew Allison had it!! All because she didn’t answer the phone when he called. He did it as revenge for her not being constantly at his beck and call.

Kevin Can F**k Himself, Season 1 Episode 4 “Live Free or Die”

[flock-of-cassowaries]

I’ve seen a lot of posts about how the lighting subtly changes as the sitcom world starts to fray at the edges, and I overlooked a lot of it.

But this; this I could not miss:

In the first episode, the bandage disappears from Alison’s hand as soon as she enters the Kevin Zone; but here, not only does the lighting not fully brighten - his socks don’t even get clean.

Just got done watching Kevin Can Fuck Himself

First off, 9.8/10, amazing show loved it from start to finish...with only one teensy nitpick that's gonna bother me for days.

After Neil recovered from his head injury/injuries? it almost seemed like he was realizing Kevin really was the piece of shit Allison was saying he was, and that maybe she (and Patty) had good reasons for wanting to kill him.

There were these moments and bits of dialogue where he was sooooo close to admitting that Kevin was just using him, that he never once treats Neil like a friend who cares about his wellbeing, that he's only ever summoned by Kevin to do his bidding. Was it meant to show that sometimes people in abusive relationships are so beaten down (self-esteem wise especially) that they just don't remotely realize that they're being used and abused? Or was Neil in such a constant drunken stupor that he didn't give himself time to really think about (and analyze) his very onesided friendship with Kevin?

Also ngl, every time Neil was flashing back to the night of his multiple head thwacks, I thought he was going to remember that Allison hit him with the red tea kettle and that he was going to take it to Tammy as evidence to get Allison in trouble.

Does it go into eventual exposition on why Allison married Kevin ? Because it’s not a Married With Children situation where she got pregnant and is sort of stuck with him now. They don’t have kids or anything, they’re 35 so they’re probably not going to so why did she marry him ? I did the math and they’ve been married 15 years so she married Kevin when she was 20, so she was probably young and dumb when she did it and by the time her frontal lobe developed she was in too deep.

Was it a spur of the moment thing ? I don’t know what she sees in Kevin. I just don’t. Like usually in sitcoms like these they stayed together because of kids or an accidental pregnancy but that’s not the case here

What Allison wants, Allison gets.

The Rooster Can F*** Himself - a Kevin Can F*** Himself fanvid

A life of brighter days, a width of road away.

I was going to tag this Patty O’Connor, but then I realized it’s really the titular Kevin (who Can F*** Himself) who’s dealing with the happy-go-lucky problems.

Everyone around him, on the other hand? Real problems.

Many of them caused by Kevin.

It’s a great fucking show.

Salsa

Off her mouth went, spitting out delightful figures about the new house for sale.

Kevin and Patty groaned in unison, their annoyance finding a more tangible target than the Yankees were. 

Allison, oblivious to it all, continued, “It’s even got-!"

Kevin was eerily silent.

Or

The Red’s had lost the game

I need her to kill him

[strongintherealgay]

"I don't condone Allison's actions but--" Well, I do. I think she should murder him. I hope she can bring him back to life so she can murder him 15 more times. In fact, Allison should be able to rob a bank and get away with it. Punch 50 more men in the nose. Burn down a business after stealing anything from it. Get her a house with a marble island stat!

She's my favorite person
