annoyingly, the 2nd patreon q&a – the only one where the comment section is broken – gave us THIS comment, which i at least had the foresight to screenshot at the time

DAVID: Colin is very kinky for sure! It should be fairly obvious that there is some romantic stuff going on with David and Colin...

according to my ravings at the time, the discussion also touched on From Beyond as a qbbs movie. the marscorp halloween special may be lost media at this point but it involved jim reading the original lovecraft story (:

anyway, i figured this was worth making a separate post about mainly bc it underlines something ironic that i've been thinking about anyway – that to this day, colin/david is not technically canon. it is very strongly implied – david's right to call it "fairly obvious." but we have never actually had any unambiguous confirmation that there was ever anything more between them than an unrequited "infatuation."

even the word of god confirmation from the q&a (not canon) is still extremely vague. "some romantic stuff"? "..."? to be really strict, it doesn't even unambiguously rule out the possibility of an unrequited crush. i have to wonder if they're being vague on purpose because the exact details of the relationship constitute s2 spoilers, and/or will have more emotional impact if revealed in context during s2.

alternatively, they're avoiding details altogether because it's objectively icky. and/or because dk is personally icked out by it because the character shares his name. but i like to think it's because we're gonna get all the details in s2 and it's gonna hit real hard. :3c

i have nothing to add at this time about colin being Very Kinky For Sure. i feel like i've made clear my feelings on that subject and if anything else Comes to mind i will be sure to post about it

David: "[Bunker] Dave's the kind of character that would take out any parts of his personality that weren't fitting, right. This isn't working – I'll just change that about myself." <- spoken in the context of Dave/Katie but considered in the context of David/Dave.......help me

David: "People have said to us that they think the Bunker boys are, like, romantically involved with each other. I think my resistance to it is mainly the power imbalance between them all." Max: "I can understand also why that is dramatically interesting. Because there is a power imbalance, that makes it an interesting story." David: "I've definitely seen stories that play with that concept. So it's obviously something that people do like, that kind of thing."

+ the whole rest of their whole conversation about people shipping the bunker boiz is amazing. basically "knock yourselves out, you little freaks." i can't speak for anyone else but the power imbalance is INTEGRAL to my interest so i'm glad they appreciate that

describing eric as "the jock turned emo" and comparing angelica's fetishisation of dave as equivalent to rolling around in garbage

calling out lorrimer/suki as the closest thing to "a proper romance" in any dh show <3 would love to get matthew in there talking about gregselda in more depth. obsessed with the takeaway that griselda proves roy has the potential to be happy + loved + live a worthwhile life but she can never actually be that person for him like.....nobody's doing it like them

hearing "iwgbrp" come out of david's mouth in this context with no warning almost made me do a spit take. back to back with the joke about "back to earth" well i won't say it but. the implication

on behalf of my boy victor i have to say there IS romance in pax fortuna it's just silent and doomed and unrequited and courtly </3

describing qbbs – "heavily implied" "the big one" "so important" "their relationship has had consequences for everybody else [...] it kind of kicks off everything" "it does say a lot about the characters" "colin is essentially a groomer [...] david is attracted to authority and power, but for colin it's all about david" screams.......dh make shows about masochism at the end of the day

they raise that colin is the only person to recognise david's talent, which is part of why david likes him, and that it's unclear how much of david's egotism/misanthropy is natural vs intentionally instilled by colin. talking about revealing the darkness within david (e.g. smashing the glass) and the multiple twists to his personality as the audience gets to know him better

appreciation for hayley being such a well-connected and developed character <3 i am always saying this!! "it's a different kind of power relationship, because obviously [mavid]'s always the underdog [...] because people don't like him. this is making him the underdog because someone really likes him." they say that hayley's s2 character development will alter her dynamic with david & honestly i am READY FOR IT. they say david likes hob bc she's the only character who treats him neutrally/"just as an employee."

Max: "Well – what do you think about the romance between – Patrick and Colin, then?" [giggles] 😵‍💫💕 + patrick's relationship weight + "I love that we're calling him Patrick like he's a friend" "there is an obvious kink element" swear to god dude. "there is an obvious kink element." that's literally what he says

David: "In MarsCorp especially, a lot of characters are interested in and actively engaging in sex, a lot." never has something so true sounded so unhinged. they talk about marscorp's separation of sex from romance which is very true & giving atomised post-feminist liberal dystopia

MJ: [sound of sirens in the background] It's just a succession of police cars, man. It's been so many, what's going on?

DK: They've heard us talking about David and Colin and they've called the police.

I've had Oberon Vortigern as my servant for more than a year now. He's my main damage dealer along Morgan, and my main support along Arturia Caster. He's my to go for farming bond or items, for any rank up or interlude, even when he's got a class disadvantage, I keep him there. He's my king. He's my son. He's my mentally ill princess. He's my little meow meow. His design book was the first piece of Fate merchandise I ever bought in my life.

with the "father/stepfather" cultural difference discussion it made me remember a situation that got me like. brazilians really value who they call family even if theyre ur blood or not, and even if their title is different or not.

my brother has an ex girlfriend that, when they were dating, she got so close to me and my mother because we just clicked a lot. when they broke up (in good terms) with one another even when she had another boyfriend (now her husband) her and my mother still talked with each other and they both send messages to each other in birthdays, mothers day celebrations, etc. she still considers us a bit of family even tho shes not involved with us anymore. and i think thats summarizes how brazilians views families. yeah we tend to see the "stepfather/setpmother" title as kinda negative and its understandable that other cultures dont see the same way, but its because our sense of family is too strong that even if theyre not that title you still call them it because of the bond you have, without excluding the other bonds. my cousin calls my grandmother "mom", and i call him "my brother", but it doesnt erase his mom and my brother from the narrative as well. in the end is all about family and how much we love each other, even if youre our blood or not.

"I—what—can you do that with a gun?”

“That’s different,” Halt says, still completely unperturbed. On his other side, Erak gestures emphatically to yet another sign, this one reading, FUCK YOUR SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS. “Ammunition is a means to an end. Archery is an art form.”

Wednesday's new court mandated therapist is having her keep a journal of her thoughts and feelings. Wednesday finds this to be a complete waste of time and decides instead to use it to record her observations of her unusual roommate Enid Sinclair. Wednesday POV.

——————————————

Entry 18

Current Moon Phase: Waxing Crescent 🌒

Today Enid suggested we head into Jericho for Christmas shopping. I informed her that this was unnecessary for me as I had already finished making my Yuletide gifts before the final month began. She looked a little taken aback but I was quick to clarify that it did not mean I wouldn't join her in town. I donned my jacket and took her hand in my own. She lit up again at once and immediately pulled me out of our dorm.

As we walked through the halls on our way down to the bus she asked me many questions about Yule. I had no qualms in educating her about its history, symbols, and traditions.

'Woah! So it's kind of like an old timey Christmas?' Was her response. I cannot describe the physical pain this caused me. 'Willa, are you okay?' She asked as we boarded the bus.

'Perhaps it would also be prudent to discuss the history of the holiday you celebrate as well.' I said, taking a calming breath as we sat down. I could tell that it would be a long trip to Jericho.

-YourFavoriteFruitBat is now livestreaming-

"What's up guys! YourFavoriteFruitBat here along with my girl GayMerGirl as we head into town! We're going to see how long I can stand in the local churches before I catch fire!"

"You're not seriously doing that are you?"

"Hey chat it looks like we've got a guest appearance by QBB - Queen Bee Barclay!"

"Don't call me that."

"So what are your plans for town today?"

"Well, I guess they now include staying away from the churches."

"Aw, come on Bianca don't be- Wait, chat's going crazy. Hold on. Oh shit! I guess we've also got an impromptu episode of Wenid Watch!"

"So this is still a thing?"

"Yeah, it's become even more popular over the past couple weeks. I remember when Yoko started filming them occasionally as a joke but now everyone is super invested."

"Like, their relationship?"

"Yup! It's the whole 'will they won't they' kind of thing. Except they're finally together now, I think."

"Shh! Quiet you two! This is a rare sighting of the two love bats outside of their nest!"

"-and it was the psychoactive component of the amanita muscaria, or fly agaric, that caused hallucinations, with the most common hallucination being that of flying reindeer."

"Wow! But wait, if people only hallucinated the reindeer flying then how did the Christmas Werewolf win the werewolf games?"

"The… what?"

"The werewolf games! How did the Christmas Werewolf win if the reindeer he ate didn't actually fly?"

"I am unaware of such a tale."

"You not know about the Christmas Werewolf? Ha! Quit joking!"

"This is no jest, cara mia."

"You know, the Christmas Werewolf."

"Mi amor, I am afraid that you repeating it does not give me any greater clarity."

"…You? You really haven't heard the story of the Christmas Werewolf?"

"No. I am woefully ignorant."

"…"

"Please enlighten me."

"Okay! So my dad always told the story just before the twelve days of Christmas began back when my brothers and I were just cubs-"

"Cubs?"

"You know, kid werewolves."

"Ah, I see. Continue."

"The Christmas Werewolf, okay so you know how werewolves remain wolfed out for the twelve days of Christmas right?"

"No..."

"Really? Okay, uh, there's a lot I'm going to need to cover then. Anyway, werewolves who have completed their first full wolf out stay wolfed out during the twelve days of Christmas. That's when we compete in the werewolf games."

"And what happens in these games?"

"Well, we test our strength and stuff, like running and hunting and jumping. There's also alcohol involved but that's mainly for the older werewolves. Anyway, so the story goes that a long time ago on a cold winter's night all the local werewolves gathered together for the werewolf games. Everyone got to play except for one little werewolf. None of the other werewolves would let him join in the games because they said he was too small and weak and could never hope to compete. The little werewolf was very sad but determined to prove them wrong."

"The other werewolves laughed and said they would let him join in the games if he could jump over the wall of a nearby castle. The little werewolf saw how tall the wall was and knew he could not jump it all by himself. He wandered off into the woods and that's when he saw it: Santa's reindeer. The little werewolf got an idea. If the reindeer could fly, maybe he could too if he ate one."

"That took a rather unexpected turn."

"So, he comes up with this whole big plan to catch one of the reindeer. Long story short he succeeds and eats one of the reindeer and goes back to the other werewolves. Anyway, he wins because he can jump super high now and gets crowned the Christmas Werewolf."

"And how did Santa respond to the death of one of his reindeer?"

"Well, I mean, that's why Santa doesn't deliver presents to werewolves. And why we can't enjoy hot chocolate at Christmas. And also why his reindeer wear silver bells, so werewolves never eat his reindeer again."

"That… makes sense."

"I know right? But if the flying reindeer were hallucinations, how did the Christmas werewolf make the jump?"

"I would suppose that with this werewolf being quite clever he found some alternative way to clear that castle wall."

"I guess."

"Enid, if the character of Saint Nicholas refuses to bring gifts to werewolves why have you hung stockings?"

"Oh! Those aren't for Santa! It's for the Christmas werewolf to leave dried venison. It's symbolic of the meat of the flying reindeer."

"Why stockings?"

"Well, you can't wear stockings when you're wolfed out, silly. That's why he puts it in there."

"Of course. And the tree?"

"Werewolf Christmases are mostly spent outside, since almost everyone is wolfed out. So we have two trees that are decorated the same. One inside for the cubs that haven't wolfed out and one outside for everyone else. You can find your family by the tree outside that is decorated like the one inside."

"There appears to be much I do not know about werewolf Christmas."

"I don't know. I think they're mostly the same. I mean, you spend time with family and people you care about, you give gifts, and you compete to see who is the strongest."

"Must one be a werewolf to partake in these games?"

"Uh, technically no but they are very challenging if you aren't."

"What is the prize of winning said games?"

"Well, you get to be the Christmas Werewolf."

"And what does that entail?"

"You get first pick when it comes to meals, everyone has to listen to you, you get bragging rights, and you hunt the Christmas reindeer so you can put venison in everyone's stockings."

"Interesting. Tell me the games again."

"Willa? You're not- you're not thinking of competing are you?"

"Would it be inappropriate for me to?"

"No but, you're not, you're kinda-"

"Yes?"

"You're small."

"Is the story you told me not about the small and clever overcoming brute strength?"

"Yes but Willa- My family is super competitive."

"As am I, querida."

"Willa no."

"I am merely curious, mi loba."

"Well chat? What do you think? Do you think Wednesday Addams has what it takes to compete in the werewolf games?"

"I worry for the werewolves to be honest."

"Bianca's got the spirit! I'm adding a poll down in chat. Chat, do you think Wednesday has a chance? I guess we'll have to wait till after winter break to find out!"

relistening to marscorp because im insane and, just. not a novel observation in the year 2024, but i feel the need to post about it. how the colin analogy is right there in episode one

Its reverberations had a wonderful calming effect. Supposedly, just being near it would make you forget all your troubles. But… as the comfort buddy grew, there were some unforeseen complications […] The comfort buddy’s fun little quirks turned out to be rather useful predatory traits.

in david’s own words no less. it’s how david is introduced to the audience. he knows how to kill it, how to kill the slimy smothering thing colin left behind, hiding and growing all those years until the damage it was doing threatened to destroy everything. david’s trauma, colin, the comfort buddy.

the base is david in this episode – it’s been isolated and frozen in time, all these years have passed but it hasn’t grown up, it hasn’t fulfilled its potential, its purpose. and it acts like everything is fine but it’s riddled with dysfunction and we’re literally seeing Day One of a very, very long journey towards naming the problems, dealing with stuff, trying against all odds to get things back on course. oh i am so SO okay about it

[silverview]

DUDE

This is an ESSENTIAL observation. And definitely NOT a coincidence. MarsCorp in every molecule being a show about the will, freedom, and slavery. Whose overt message is that freedom = misery and subjugation = happiness.

The immediate experience of being mind-controlled by the comfort buddy or the benefactors is intensely pleasurable. YET. They’re both ultimately depicted as both fatally dangerous and intensely disgusting. Patrick learns the same lesson: he finds subjugation desirable, pleasurable; it screws him over in the end anyway. The message is that subjugation = happiness but that doesn’t mean the show is pro-subjugation. It might be more accurate to call it anti-happiness.

I have to conceive of the BGU’s ultimate role as fitting the pattern. Offering subjugation and happiness at a terrible cost. Let’s say offering it to David, via Colin, specifically. And David’s ultimate, inevitable decision – rejecting his only chance at happiness, rejecting Colin and the BGU.

I've started a relisten of MarsCorp: Behind the Misery, and I'm sadly useless at meta, but ��� something something mind-controlling monsters as bookends of season 1 as a whole (the Comfort Buddy in episode 1, the Benefactors in episode 12) with Colin/the BGU popping up almost exactly at midpoint (episode 6). [*]

Also, irl Tom said something along the lines of, his mental image for the Comfort Buddy is a *pink* blob from some other media whose title I didn't quite catch. Vindication!

[*] Do check out @silverview 's excellent meta posts on the subject:

Sorry if this is a lot but rapid fire writing questions:

Anything you regret including?

Is KiGS gonna cover their whole senior year?

What made you add Wednesday's hypoglycemia?

How do you feel emotionally when writing about moral monsters like QBB? I want to throw up reading about it so I can't imagine how it feels to write.

What was the inspiration behind QBB's abilities if there was one?

Are there any characters or outcast abilities that you wanted to include but couldn't find a place to fit them?

Anything you regret including? I assume you mean in CftF? Xavier 😪 had I thought for one damn minute it would be as easy as production made it to untangle him from his icky grip on Wednesday - I’d have just written him out! Instead I spent a solid 400k during the slow-burn for Wednesday and Enid having to navigate and help them grow through both their other established range of emotions from canon and other friendships/gross one-sided fantasy relationships to get them in a natural place of ‘ANNNNND we’re done here’ without it just getting cut. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I felt like I was always having to give Xavier an information-gathering mission to make him feel like he served an organic purpose after the girls were together when I didn’t actually want to write him but didn’t think Wednesday would just drop him from her life since I allowed him be respectful to her wishes to stop pursuing her because he didn't want to lose her from his life completely (sounds like quite unlike the actor lol I don't really get involved in this mess but I've seen what I needed to see). Good news, he won't be at Nevermore for KiGS - he has a new purpose so I was able to write him out, too - just one scene for closure! More Responses behind the cut:

At first I really didn’t want anything much to do with Sheriff Galpin either, which was why I sent him off to rehab lol. But he ended up playing a useful role and I actually really like the way it turned out for the Galpin fam in the end to tie it back to canon; I think everyone got closure there. In the last chapter, the scene of Galpin and Emiliana hiding the murder weapon where she gets her “certificate of a job well done” and he says “this is a ticket for disturbing the peace,” is one of my fave little Emi bits lol. BIG SPOILER for KiGS LOOK AWAY IF YOU DON’T WANT TO SEE: We’re going to see more of Emiliana with the Galpin(s). Between their shared history of substance abuse bringing them together, and someone coming home - she’s going to find herself with a greater purpose than trouncing around the forest looking for provisions and chasing after Wednesday during a flare up. 

Is KiGS gonna cover their whole senior year? If the good lord’s willing and the creek don’t rise. It’ll probably be another 3-4 chapters before they actually start their senior year properly at Nevermore. I am taking every advantage of writing the Addams Family together at home/on vacation before we go back to school and more of the ensemble.

What made you add Wednesday's hypoglycemia?  Half her moods are probably because her blood sugar is low. THAT GIRL DON’T EAT. In canon, every time anyone else is often having food of some kind, she’s just glaring and staring. She’s got to be hungry - but more to my interpretation of Wednesday, she was/is so out of touch with her human needs that she doesn’t have hunger cues (also fairly common for many people on the autism spectrum, not just because of her Outcast abilities). 

How do you feel emotionally when writing about moral monsters like QBB? I have only recently developed feelings and had already finished CftF so I’ll have to get back to you on that now that I have a wider range of feelings and can even sometimes cry!

What was the inspiration behind QBB's abilities if there was one? Mostly just in needing a reason for why this sort of behavior has gone on for so long - centuries of oppression, decades of horrific deeds from him specifically, and NO whistleblowers? Honestly I think I started coming up with more of his character when I was going through some of the Epstein documentaries last year, and it’s so sick and it BLOWS MY MIND how he/others got away with their behavior for LITERAL DECADES. So - I mean, I just kind of made the power up.

Are there any characters or outcast abilities that you wanted to include but couldn't find a place to fit them? You’ll see more from them in Karma! The Faceless are very interesting to me and I hate that we had to hear so much about the werewolf issues second hand (since Enid was kept in the dark) so I am very pleased to be getting primary sources and first hand look at this, even before they get back to Jericho!
