I am not for a minute the kind of person who believes that bio parents are always more important than adoptive parents, but I will say there is something so... wistful to the dynamic playing out in s3 of OMITB with Loretta and Dickie.
I grew up in a religious area with a strong emphasis on having and raising children, so... honestly, I've seen it happen before IRL. Couples who thought they couldn't have bio children so they adopt a child, only to then have a "real" child who they end up doting on far more. It's a cruel thing to do to a child, and it would be an even more awful dynamic if your brother was rich and famous and the whole world loved him. Especially if you know that it was your ideas that made him famous, but he was just so charismatic that he got the love and fame and accolades anyway.
I can only imagine how much Dickie longed for a family that prioritized him. That put his needs first. I can only imagine how much he wanted just one person to look at both him and his fancy, famous, selfish brother and choose him. I can't help but think that he wondered about his bio parents and why they, too, didn't want him.
And then for him to find this woman who's treated him more like a son than his own parents ever did, who is finally prioritizing his needs, who finally cares about his mental health, who is finally seeing his talent, and... he doesn't even know it, that she's his bio mother. That she always missed him, but assumed he was living a better life without her. That she always watched him from afar and loved him.
It's almost like something out of a neglected child's fantasies, isn't it? That he has a real parent somewhere who loves him desperately. That he really is special and precious and worthy of love; he just had to find the right person to give it to him.
But at the same time... how much will it hurt when he realizes who Loretta really is? When he realizes how much time they've lost? When he realizes how long she's stayed away? When he realizes that she's lied to him as long as she's known him?
Loretta has spent her whole life sacrificing her own happiness for his, staying away because she believed he was happier with his adoptive family, and then as soon as she meets him IRL... she does it again! She sacrifices for him in a way that ends up leaving him all alone again. It's both kind and terribly cruel, isn't it?
It seems like love and stability are two things that he's craved all his life, and they're two things that have largely been denied to him. His brother loved him, but he treated Dickie like dirt. (But still a possession to be hoarded.) His parents presumably love him to some degree, but they made it very clear to him that he was always the backup plan, never the talented, perfect bio child they actually wanted. Even Loretta, with her flighty, dreamlike Broadway lifestyle, could never have given him the stability he needed, even if she did love him.
idk, Dickie's a really fascinating character to me. He really, really creeps up on you, doesn't he? But I feel like I'm so invested in his happiness now. I really want him to finally get the life he's always wanted, even if it had to be born of a tragedy that he never asked for.
#at this point it could probably come out that he WAS the second killer and I'd still be like#I get it babe#there's also a mirror post to be made about Ben and how he always got all the love and attention but none of it was ever real#except perhaps from his five whores who were probably the only people on earth who actually liked him#they knew exactly who he really was and they still liked him#it's so sad how both brothers felt so desperately unloved#and even though they loved each other still couldn't be who the other needed him to be#it's so sad ;;#omitb#only murders in the building#omitb spoilers

Current omitb thoughts after the newest episode:
I’m assuming that Joy was the genius who did Ben’s makeup, and he was having like an allergic reaction to something in the cookies he probably ate.
I’m thinking she genuinely just misplaced her lipstick (based on her reaction when seeing it, just “oh! you found my lipstick!”, no snatching it, etc.) and that Ben probably wrote that bit on his mirror to himself because diet.
#these are just right after seeing episode thoughts I haven’t done like any deep thinking#so these probably sound real dumb but I need to get them out somewhere#I am a ben ate a whole plate of cookies truther#only murders in the building#only murders in the building spoilers#omitb#omitb spoilers#theory#Creame brabbling

Just watched the latest episode of Only Murders in the Building and I love how everybody on tumblr is already predicting that Ben was talking to a man (and not Kimber) in his dressing room on opening night and that he is actually gay, when it's extremely obvious that he is DEFINITELY TALKING TO FOOD.

I’m so hoping for Tobert and Theo narrative foils this Tuesday
#not least because then theo will probably actually be in the finale#anyway they’ve (probably) waited too long to reveal tobert’s Big Terrible Secret for it not to be directly related to the murder#unless they’re setting him up to be the next victim?#but he doesn’t live in the building which makes that less likely#only murders in the building#tobert omitb#tobert#theo dimas#omitb theories#omitb

Pasek and Paul finally wrote a musical that I liked and it wasn’t even a full musical 🤣🤣🤣
#can’t believe it#i mean they did just write the songs#and i feel like some of their songs in isolation from the shows they're in do sound good#and also they cowrote a lot of the songs in omitb#with much more talented songwriters#so that’s probably why#only murders in the building#omitb

The other night when I was probably starting to come down with the ‘vid I decided in 2024 to just read and watch Jewish writers (or in cases like TV that have many writers, works with Jewish writers in leading creative positions). These were the wishlists I came up with so far:
Some of the TV shows are stuff I want to watch for the first time, some of them I know I want to rewatch. I already started my LOST rewatch a few weeks ago, so that’s gonna keep me occupied for a while.
#these are just entertainment lists but I have such fascinating stuff on my nonfiction judaica shelf rn#that that’ll probably take up a lot of my nonfiction reading in the near future too#I hesitate to tag this with anything but it might be of slight cheer to some in the readership#who have shared that experience of suddenly looking around like ‘wow does everyone who makes stuff I like hate Jews?’#over the past 3 months#I’m just saying if you like very intricate texts…. come rewatch LOST with me#oh also I get to keep OMITB but that was already an active fandom of mine so it didn’t go on there

So nice to see OMITB and WWDITS finally get some Emmys appreciation!
#i mean i am expecting the bear to sweep the comedy categories#w/ maybe abbot elementary winning the few it doesn't#even though it is definitely a stretch to call the bear a comedy#even if it does deserve its flowers#but i am so happy that omitb and wwdits get so much love#even if i feel like it's probably 'the meryl streep effect'#for the former; as in people taking it more seriously b/c meryl streep was there#even if its probably the weakest of the seasons so far#have to say tho was expecting meryl and martin to get nominated and would not have been shocked for steve#but i am pleasantly surprised that paul rudd and selena (finally) got a nom#and that matt berry got an acting nom for wwdits#i do wonder if there might have been some switching up of the nomination rules#since i would've had matt berry and ayo in the supporting categories (i believe ayo won that one in the past)#and meryl and paul rudd in guest

OMITB S4 Killer Theory
....SPOILERS....
...
Ben GLENroy isn't dead.
This is my theory for OMITB Season 4. Although I do ultimately think that there are 2 killers/people involved, I believe I have a good part of it solved. Again, just a theory, this could end up being totally wrong...but let me know what YOU think.
...
In S4E4, our favorite trio (Charles, Mabel & Oliver) go to "Concussions", a bar for stunmen founded in the 70s. We learned that Sazz was there and posted a selfie the day she was murdered. When they start asking questions about Sazz, stuntpeople who were all friends with Sazz, start to get agitated. Especially with Charles (this makes sense as he was Sazz's "face"). As things start to escalate, out of nowhere, a man rolls into the conversation. The trio is shocked to see Ben Glenroy (the victim of S3). Irish Paul Rudd says that he is actually Ben's stunt double...Glen Stubbins. Glen explains how he's mad at the trio for taking "Ben" from him and claims that "15 years he worked for Ben". Throughout this conversation, Glen keeps seeing "rats" everywhere, trying to kill them. No one else sees the rats he's talking about. As the stuntpeople start to get more upset, Glen escorts the trio out of the building. Once they are outside, Glen apologizes for having to play up the "fighting" and wants to talk to Charles. Specifically, he asks Charles if he will be his new "Face". Charles politely declines and Glen begs him for work on a project. Mabel offers Glen a position on the film being made about their podcast and Glen is relieved. He then goes on to show off some "stunts" he can do and the trio is impressed and scared at the same time. When asked about the back room in the bar, Glen tells them about Dr. Maggie who is a chiropractor that helps all the stuntpeople with their pain management. Charles, alarmed, asked if Sazz was in pain. Glen responds "She was in pain, thanks to you". After deciding to take Charles to meet Dr. Maggie, Glen warns Charles to "Mind the rats". Glen stays and listens in on Dr. Maggie's conversation both Charles. We learn that Sazz was in pain and planning to retire to a new career. She was "hurt from a one-sided relationship", Charles believes it's himself that hurt her. We later see Charles return to Concussions, where he decided to "Tap in" for Sazz, so that she could have a proper stuntman's funeral.
After being hit with a fake bottle, Charles is shocked (rightly so). Glen leans in and tells him, "Lie still, dead man". When it's Glen's turn to say his "goodbyes" to Sazz, he accidently(?) uses a real bottle to hit Charles, knocking him out.
As chaos ensues and stuntpeople fight one another, Glen says to himself, "this is what Sazz would have wanted."
Soo...what is my theory?
Ben Glenroy didn't die. His "stuntman" did. Here' what I think happened:
Ben was the one that temporarily died from the rat poison. In S3, we're led to believe that Ben died from the poison, miraculously survived it, only to be murdered again after being pushed down an elevator shaft. #Rip
Here’s the thing…Ben showed up rather quickly from the hospital to the after-party. With something as serious as ingesting RAT POISON, there’s no way he would be able to walk around and show up, just fine, to the party that occurred so soon after. I believe that while Ben was recovering in the hospital, Ben’s (real) stunt double went in his place (or shall I say, “tapped in”) to the party and unfortunately ended up being killed. Now, whether Ben knew about his stunt double doing this at the time, I don’t know. Recovering from Rat Poison would likely take days, possibly even weeks to recover from (especially considering the amount he was given). I think the loss of his Stunt Double, especially if they had a relationship similar to what Sazz and Charles had, would hurt him greatly. Ben would probably feel guilt, like we see Charles experiencing in the current time. But if someone wanted Ben dead, hearing the news that he was still alive could put himself in danger. So what does he do? He decides to put on another great performance…that being ”Glen Stubbins”.
We know that “Glen” is seeing rats everywhere. Ben was poisoned with RAT posion and I wouldn’t be surprised if he had to deal with some side effects after such a serious health scare, such as hallucinations. Ben also likely has PTSD and could be seeing these “rats” as a result.
Also…Ben Glenroy? Glen Stubbins?
They both have the word GLEN in their names. That’s too much of a coincidence. There’s NO WAY that Ben just happened to find a stunt double who looks identical to him with partially the same name as him. We know that Ben isn’t the smartest bulb in the pack, so perhaps he should have picked SOMETHING other than “Glen”.
Now, why would Ben do all of this?
MOTIVE: We know that Ben HATED Charles. While Charles was working on Brazzos, a young Ben Glenroy was cast as a series regular. However, after the first table read, Charles told the director that Ben was a phony and had him fired. Ben blames Charles for his failing acting career. Ben could very easily, in some twisted way, ultimately blame Charles for his Stuntman dying.
This could mean that Ben had the motive to kill Charles AND/OR Sazz.
*Although I believe Charles was the true intended target, Sazz being the target is still a possibility.
Let’s say Sazz WAS the target, Ben knows Sazz. How? Ben briefly worked on Brazzos, which Sazz was Charles’s stuntman for. Maybe Ben wanted Charles to understand the pain he’s in? He wants Charles to know what it feels like to lose that special person.
IF Charles was the intended target, we already have several reasons for why Ben would kill him. Charles “ruined” his life. What makes a better murderer than someone who’s already supposed to be dead? NO ONE would think/suspect Ben Glenroy, a dead man, could have done it…
I don’t think Ben decided to pretend to be his stunt double until he realized that Charles wasn’t the one that died, Sazz did. Ben gets away with murder, it never gets solved, he ruins Charle’s life in the process, and imagine the Hollywood comeback he would have if he revealed that he had actually been alive this whole time. What a performance!
As for the other murderer/person involved, I don’t know WHO it is yet, but think Ben must be connected to someone in Hollywood. This person would have to distract the gang with a “movie” about the podcast…but I don’t think the movie is even real. I think it’s all a distraction just to lead up to the big reveal...A movie/documentary about the return of Ben Glenroy and how he survived death. Now THAT would be a huge blockbuster hit.
As for who dies next…I’m worried for Howard, Loretta, and Oliver.
Let me know what you think! <3

finally got back to showing my sister arcane (her fault not mine) and these are her thoughts for episode 4:
she made a face (don't know if it was disgust or concern) at jinx getting close to silco when he was in his chair (i haven't explained that it's just a no-boundaries father-daughter situation yet)
"our most famous protégé, jayce talis" "you fake bitch" (about cassandra)
she did not make any comments about anyone's post-timeskip designs nor did she seem to have any physical reaction
^okay i asked about it hours later: "jayce and viktor pretty much look the same to me" (she apparently did not notice how sunken his cheeks have become) "her hair is way too long, it's a hazard. it's a tripping hazard" (about jinx) "those are a lot of tattoos, some of them look like dirt" (about vi)
she compared the hextech gauntlets to the infinity gauntlet
"that feels targeted, heimerdinger. you know i can't chase after you so you're just gonna waddle your little bitchass away. doggy paddle pretty much" (about heimerdinger leaving after telling jayvik to wait a decade)
she's also not loving heimerdinger's pet thingy...or heimerdinger...
literally went "this ugly bitch" when he first popped up in the start of the episode
we compared cait figuring out what happened at the hexgate attack to william murdoch and her strings and evidence to omitb's murder boards (don't know if the fandoms overlap but-)
"i hope somebody kills him" (about marcus) (who's gonna tell her...)
"what progress? cause the last we saw of him, they exiled him and now i'm giving speeches. i'm that bitch" (after heimerdinger's talk with jayce)
"the only one worth my time, is him. the golden boy" "are you trying to ride the golden boy?" (her joking predictions are spot on)
she was probably one of the only people i've seen that did not think that the pink-haired firelight was vi
"respectfully professor, shut your bitchass up" (speaking for viktor to heimerdinger)
"viktor and i have just the thing" "you and viktor are dating"
"i don't like that powder's going by jinx, i don't like that at all"
ep 1 and 2 thoughts
ep 3 thoughts
ep 5 and 6 thoughts
ep 7 and 8 thoughts
finale thoughts
#wonder how she'll react to ekko's post-timeskip look#arcane#jinx#caitlyn kiramman#jayce talis#viktor arcane#mel medarda#silco#cassandra kiramman#heimerdinger#vi arcane#vi#jayvik#murdoch mysteries#omitb#venux forces ppl to watch things#“some of them look like dirt” is actually insane#“by only people i've seen” i mean reactions i don't have actual people to show this too (other than my sister ofc)
