Happy Secure the Perimeter Saturday.

Maybe it's just me, but why was Number Two’s stereotypically rural American family with stereotypically rural American sounding accents who were too afraid to leave the house somehow living in Luxembourg? I watch scenes with them and have to remind myself that they are in Europe and not the rural United States.

It's a weird detail to notice, but the only thing that makes sense is that the mom moved to Europe, stuff happened to make her super paranoid, she settled in Luxembourg, and then never left the house and shamed Number Two for trying to leave. So Number Two and her siblings were born there and never left the house/property, which explains why they have American accents (and everything else about them).

OMIGOD I DIDNT EVEN MAKE THAT CONNECTION OMIGOD 😂

oh also??? what was up with mr benedict mentioning he's 51? that makes no sense. i mean i know that's the actor's age but even if we assume it's been a year or two that would still mean last season, like. thirty years ago he would have been like almost 20, not 12. that makes no sense. girl

i love how constance’s “happiness” wavered for a moment when she said “how depressing” at Dr Garrison’s notes Like even when brainwashed she simply CANNOT RESIST bullying Dr Garrison SKDJKDSHD

The Mysterious Benedict Society Season 2 (1080p) [ALL EPISODES]

hi everyone! here are all of the s2 episodes in high quality - enjoy :)

[personinthepalace]

🪦 Moocho Brazos!! (and his pies)

🪦 SECRET AGENT MILLIGAN AND HIS TRANQUILIZER GUN (yes I am still bitter about that. Chemist - I’ll eat my hat)

🪦 Kate and Reynie’s friendship (they went having the most interactions in the books to just one scene in s2 - and don’t get me started on the lack of scenes in s1). No offense but I don’t even think show Kate and Reynie are really friends

🪦 Kate’s happy-go-lucky personality. I understand that they changed several characters’ personalities in the show but Kate pains me the most (mainly bc she’s my favorite book character). I miss her positive attitude and confidence

🪦 Cannonball as a friend. Also he, Captain Noland, and the Shortcut coming to the rescue at the end??? Goodbye :(

🪦 Madge! Wish she appeared at the end as well

🪦 Duskwort as a rare plant and Benedict’s search for it to cure his narcolepsy. It is apparently easily accessible now

🪦 Milligan yeeting himself off a cliff. Also Milligan fighting the Ten Men (or Grays whatever)

🪦 Any kind of fight/violence done to the characters. Seriously the show seems to make a point to avoid depicting any of that.

🪦 The Salamander. Also curtain’s wheelchair

🪦 Pressius and his diamonds. Actually Pressius can stay dead but I kinda wish Reynie and the diamond scene was kept

🪦 Kate’s disguise at the castle!! It was one of my favorite scenes - could have been a great comedic scene

Okay I’ll stop there bc at this rate I’ll just list the whole book haha

The Mysterious Benedict Society Graveyard

🪦 Number Two’s real name (Pencilla)

🪦 THE CAVE SCENE 😭

🪦 John and Violet Hopefield

🪦 The Ten Men’s briefcases

🪦 Sophie the Librarian

🪦 Kate’s escape artist tricks (the swallowing-key thingy, you know)

🪦 Nicholas x Captain Noland

🪦 The kids commuting mass poisoning

🪦 Constance’s poetry (I think we’ve only got one poem out of her from seasons 1 and 2, and that was the troll one from when they first met. Were there any others?? I genuinely cannot remember, but I don’t think so)

🪦 NARCOLEPSY DANG IT (season two. Not season 1)

🪦 Mr. and Mrs. Washington

Can you talk more about how the mysterious Benedict society characters feel ooc?

As a whole, particularly in the 2nd season, they cut out so much of the book that we lost almost all of the development with the characters (Reynie struggling with trusting people, Sticky learning to gain confidence, etc.) Individually, my issues are mostly with Kate and Constance. With Kate, I really didn’t like how she was constantly pushing Milligan away in S2. Like yes she’s independent, but that doesn’t mean that she doesn’t appreciate her dad. In the show, there’s a moment where Milligan makes Kate a gadget and she says she doesn’t need it, but like… if Milligan made something like that for her in the book, she’d be showing it off to everyone and treasuring it forever. For Constance, they make her so snarky that she acts super indifferent even at times where it would be totally inappropriate for her to do so. Like when Mr. Benedict disappears in S2 she basically just shrugs it off and keeps making jokes about how he’s dead??? Like, just because Constance acts aloof all the time doesn’t mean that she doesn’t actually care about anyone. In the book, she was really upset when Mr. Benedict got kidnapped and she would absolutely mortified at the idea of him dying. Like, that’s not something she would joke about. So yeah all in all, it seems like the writers of this show really don’t understand the books and what made the characters so good in the first place.

The Two Mr. Benedict’s

Aka my new TMBS crack fic

—————————————

“I am not calling you Curtain.”

“Why not?”

“Curtain is the villain.”

“Well, it’s my name.”

“It technically is not. It doesn’t feel right to you either, does it.”

“Why do you know that?! You’re eight!”

“Three. And psychic.”

“You’re three?!?!”

“Now tell me what to call you or I’m going to call you Nate.”

“You may not call me Nate.”

“You’d better tell me what to call you then. 10…9…8…”

“Just call me Mr. Benedict!”

“That will create a lot of confusion. I love it.”

#her smile is so delightful but I love that she's smiling because they're scamming an underground gambling ring as stowaways via @mvshortcut

I just want to point out Constance’s genuine smile here

[gardencactus]

I find it hilarious that when Sticky is clearly being pulled in by the Whisperer, Constance is like “He’s weak I pity him”

And then when Constance gets brainwashed, Sticky is like “Lol she’s more enjoyable now”

They’re family. They love each other. They really do.

But one of them being in immediate severe danger will not stop the bitchy-ness

Absolutely nothing can stop them
