MYTHIC QUEST 4.03 • Breakthrough

everyone saying that ian initiated that kiss look again. look at that scene again, look at the gifs. Poppy initiated the kiss, Poppy pulled away first. Ian looked to her for how to react after. Poppy had her hand on the back of his neck first--watch this be the hormonal reaction of a very pregnant woman in a highly emotional situation, but Ian meant it when he cupped the back of her head. Ian meant it when he kissed her back, he wasn't done kissing her when she pulled away. he followed her lead. the surprise on poppy's face, the fear in ian's. thank you for stabbing me, i love spitting up blood.

My favorite thing about Jo mythic quest, is how despite her bloodlust, seriousness, and deep respect for following orders, is how she’s still very feminine. Like he’s always wearing cute floral dresses and colorful hair clips. And it’s something I appreciate, and it really just makes Jo, Jo.

Can we talk about this poor man's mental health for one minute, please?

This man is such an open book compared to some of his co-workers. Brad, for example, is so aloof and ambiguous because he hates the idea of people getting close to him. He knows that's how he gets hurts and/or hurts others. Hence why we know little to nothing about who he really is and what his homelife is like. David isn't afraid to be open. He's dramatic, anxious, scared, and he trauma dumps like no one I've ever seen (bar myself).

This is a character that gets walked all over and tries so hard to see the best in everyone at any given moment. A man who appears optimistic despite the fact that he's a child of divorce, he had a drunk father, a mother who clearly didn't give a shit about him, and had a traumatic divorce himself.

The way David's character is written, and how Hornsby portrays him, is quite close to genius. Every moment displayed here showcases a time David was vulnerable and struggling with his mental health. However, we're constantly side-tracked by the comedic playoff of each scene that we subliminally render David's experiences as "funny" or "unserious". He's intentionally written as a comic relief character, which makes his reality that much more unsettling to unpack.

We're so blind-sighted by other character's reactions to David and how the script is quickly flipped that we forget this man is a suicidal depressive who self-medicates, drinks heavily and has a crippling fear of losing people he cares about.

Christ, he was about to throw himself from the roof of their building after learning Brad was arrested, Poppy and Ian were leaving, and Rachel and Dana were moving away to Berkley. The one thing that snapped him out of his suicidal thought was assuming Jo was about to do the same, and he couldn't risk losing anyone else.

Because he was showcased as an open book from the very beginning, we assume there's nothing else underneath David's surface. Everyone else's trauma is so much more transparent than his, swaying us to believe he's just a 40 something year old man trying his absolute darndest under the circumstances.

David Brittlesbee is possibly one of the most complex characters I've ever seen in modern media, and I will be walking into the canal the day we get some sort of backstory for him. My heart won't be able to handle it.
