martin short is a legend!!! his performance in episode 2 of s4 is an emmy tape!!!!! he was brilliant!!and the script for this season is amazing!!! they separated the suspects into two episodes, which I found very interesting!! cuz they didn't interact at all and we can't exclude anyone who has appeared so far…. (SPOILERS IN THE TAGS)
#jan saying that a killer only hides a body if he doesn't want to alert the real target left me like this 👀👀#I think the target was Charles! cuz the person who killed sazz didn't clean her house so they don't know that it was full of clues#so i think 1) sazz noticed some strange movement 2) she was investigating 3) and then she died instead of charles#thinking about the clues#she lives in L.A. so the strange movement could have been noticed there (the stuff in the movie) but how did it lead to arconia?#are there two mysteries? maybe what Sazz was investigating had nothing to do with the attempted murder and everything to do with the movie?#but I do think hollywood and brazzos have a role in the murder/attempt#maybe someone who worked on brazzos saw that charles could return to Hollywood with the movie so they decided to kill him?#It could be one of brazzos' card-playing buddies that charles mentioned!#and the card game could even be the one that mabel and oliver played with the westies#god this season is really good already#omitb#omitb s4#mabel mora#charles haden savage#oliver putnam#only murders in the building

mdarc chapter 4 spoilers (tw negative)
i'm a couple of doors into the mystery labyrinth, and it's getting a little annoying having shinigami and yuma go "but how could this have happened? who could have done this?" when i literally knew it was yakou as soon as the game told me that the poison had a delay. this is so silly like "how could anyone have got past this, they would have died in thirty minutes!" ok! narrow your suspect pool to people who die in the next thirty minutes then! damn!!!
#mdarc#rain code#little ranty#also i have only just started so if [redacted] isn't the killer then so be it#but i know they are there's no way it's anyone else#vivia having that quiet (more than usual) moment when yuma said the lab is hooked up to a secondary power source that never went down#is so good#i think [redacted] required an accomplice for [last part of their plan] but from that reaction i don't think it's vivia#i think it just got more or less confirmed for him who the killer was#also viv is so interesting to me!!! i was right that he was going to be my favourite#the bold experience machine enjoyer#i find it kind of funny when halara says that he'd be a great detective if he just put in more effort#this isn't some problem of viv not reaching his goals or anything#he is very good at the things he actually likes doing and wants to do#he wants to come up with theories as to how a crime could have been committed#he doesn't particularly care about which one is right#just finding ways around logical constraints#that being said he very much understands that choosing one of those and expressing it will influence the world#which is why he doesn't tend to communicate when he's figured something out#he's more interested in observing what other people do unrestricted by his influence#this is why i think it's really sweet when he threatens to kill yuma (insane sentence)#i have such a soft spot for characters who break their own rules and principle for someone they really care about#and seeing vivia put [redacted] in front of his own happiness and ingrained way of doing things is so humanising#i don't think viv is particularly complex as a character#once you grasp that he genuinely has no regard for what's true and enjoys ambiguity you've can understand him from there#there's this one line where he says 'after all...i'm more interested in the story than the truth...'#but he is my favourite by far#i love how he's straddling the line of philosophical postmodernism and actual psychosis#he's so interesting to me#tw negative

No one understands him (Jon Sims) like I do...
#S1 jon is not really a skeptic he's in DENIAL#because he has EMOTIONAL ISSUES#“ah look at him trying to rational by dismissing the supernatural” no! he knows it's not rational!#he says carlos vittery wasn't killed by a supernatural spider because hes SCARED OF SUPERNATURAL KILLER SPIDERS#he doesn't want them to be real so he INSISTS THEY ARENT. deep down he knows hes wrong#and hes not an incompetent idiot who sucks at his job#he was put in a position he's not qualified for by forces he doesn't understand#he was SET UP TO FAIL that's the tragedy of it#he's not just a sad wet cat who fucks everything up#symphony fandomposts

Hello I'm randomly thinking about Healin Good PreCure for the first time in years and looking back at how wildly people misunderstood the point and expected every other season to follow a plot point that's very specific to it
#very jarring change of pace from talking about Jewish issues i know but like LISTEN#yes everyone loves Nodoka and the conclusion to her arc obviously. i love it too#but people saw her refuse help for an insanely specific reason and immediately jumped to 'every cure should now kill their villains!'#NO#THAT'S MISSING THE POINT#IT'S NOT ABOUT PACIFISM OR REDEMPTION IT'S ABOUT PERSONAL AUTONOMY#Nodoka might have forgiven or helped Daruizen if he wasn't going to take her over. make her sick and on the verge of death again#this isn't about forgiving him for being a villain but about him wanting to violate Nodoka's body#it's a very personal matter that literally only applies to her because no other cure was in this situation#none of them had to deal with a literal virus that wanted to crawl back and literally destroy their life#screaming again NODOKA ISN'T A COOL EDGY BADASS SHE'S A GIRL RECLAIMING HER BODY!!!!#SHE'S NOT A COLD BLOODED KILLER SHE'S A KIND GIRL WHO ALSO REALIZED SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO SACRIFICE HER HEALTH!!!#the expectation that every other cure after her should be violent ignores that A:#SHE WASN'T VIOLENT#SHE ONLY TOOK HIM DOWN AFTER HE LEFT HER NO CHOICE#and B: ignores. again THE EXTREMELY SPECIFIC SITUATION SHE WAS IN#yes Nodoka is a queen you go girl#but she's not a hashtag violent villain killer#the other cures aren't wrong for being forgiving#the desire for violence shouldn't be forced on a series all about compassion!!!!#anyways. um. as you can see I'm normal about PreCure#mango rambles#PreCure#healin' good precure#healin good precure#forgot how i tag it#nodoka hanadera#Cure grace#anyways um. time to watch Wonderful PreCure I guess!

So question, sorry if youve answered this before I haven't seen it in your FAQ. Ive been reading through some Jason centered comics but want to know which ones you think capture his character best. It seems like you have strong opinions on his character and I'd like to see which comics of his best represent him!
depends which Jason we're talking about but if we're focusing on red hood Jason I prefer when he's written by Winnick so that's mostly under the red hood and losts days and then not all but some of batman and robin (I can't remember off the top of my head if it's 2009 or the 2011 run but one of those two)
#ask#racoon-with-a-Spoon#i did enjoy him in task force z tho#see my problem is#my ideal jason doesn't exist#my ideal jason is more on antagonist then hero#he exists to show why the question well why doesnt batman just kill is stupid#like i want a loser killer jason who has barley any friends#and is just out to have fun#and be a bitch#and winnick is closest to that

Final Exam (1981)
"Why are you so apprehensive? When are you going to realise that the whole world isn't made of psychopaths skulking about?"
"But they are out there. They do exist. People are killed every day for no reason at all. Perfect strangers wake up in the morning and decide, 'Hmm, I think it's a good day to snuff somebody". And these are people who eat at our restaurants with us, use our highways and vote for the President, which probably explains something about him, too. I'm not paranoid. I'm just facing unhappy facts."
#final exam#1981#slasher film#video nasty#blood tw#knife tw#american cinema#jimmy huston#cecile bagdadi#joel s. rice#ralph brown#deanna robbins#sherry willis burch#john fallon#terry w. farren#timothy l. raynor#sam kilman#don hepner#mary ellen withers#carol capka#gary s. scott#unexpectedly slow burn for a golden age slasher; invests an inordinate amount of time into developing its characters which is something i#usually really appreciate in my horror‚ but the script and some of the performances can't always prop up that glacial pacing#also unusual in having a killer who is resolutely just Some Guy: no othery semi paranormal big bad here‚ no layered and tragic figure#with a rich backstory and a ready made lore. he's just a dude (with a bowl cut) who kills people for reasons that are never explicitly#stated. which is interesting! but a lot of this is by the numbers slashering‚ and at that it doesn't exactly stand out from the crowd#there is a nerd character called Radish who's very interesting tho (or rather how the film treats him and what it does with him is#interesting and quite unlike other contemporaneous nerd characters in slasher cinema). by no means a bad entry in the canon#but neither is it a particularly notable one and it would probably have been forgotten entirely if it hadn't ended up on the dpp list#there are better slashers in academic settings: Prom Night and Slaughter High tread this route more entertainingly

Konoha: Wow, it’s so great our double agent within the Uchiha Clan has the selfless Will of Fire, completely cancelling out the possibility for trauma, repressed emotion and deep love to trigger the Curse of Hatred and cause them to sacrifice the many for the few they care about. We can relax and leave it all to him :)
Itachi, trapped on a burning clifftop, wrapping Sasuke in duct tape in preparation to throw him over the edge: ~ I will kill our friends and family to remind ☽ you ☺ of ♬ my ☮ love ☠ ~
#itachi uchiha#naruto meta#i'm not 100% if in either itachi shinden or the manga/anime itachi ever actually talks of the will of fire himself#and technically its a philosophy vs the curse of hatred being part philosophy part kinda genetic environmental mix#but boy oh boy does the general uchiha clan's self interest of not being spied on scapegoats pale against itachi's m.o#its not even exclusively a sasuke thing he drowns a young shinobi who tried to kill kisame for 2 days in tsukuyomi#even though he planned to stab him straight after#and he tortures shisui's killer and everyone who accused him of killing him himself#and basically locks izumi in a snowglobe with just illusionary people and him for 70 years#like will of fire or no it feels like his mindset is right up there with madara-obito-sasuke#its just that part of his single minded love happens to be konoha-directed#like he doesn't have asura's philosophy he has indra's#itachi's goal is peace but his tool is almost exclusively power and fear#with love being something he keeps very private#the ninja world will play nice if he has to hold it at knife-point#not anti itachi he is a mess it's great#he's so bad at being good but could have become so so much worse#like danzou is pretty heavily implied to have chosen itachi to kill his clan the day he graduated so his whole life in konoha\#is just slowly being steered to a slaughter

In the “billy parents the girls” au, I wonder how Sam and Billy would react to Tara being attacked by ghostface? Like one overprotective and “slightly” unstable family member wasn’t enough.
Somebody knows.
That's his first thought. Maybe he should have known something would happen on the 20th anniversary. He never thought it would come back to him. After all, there was a 'Ghostface attack' just five years prior, and it was all about Sidney. Why wouldn't it continue to be all about Sidney? Billy's dead after all.
He should have moved out of Woodsboro. It's always been risky, staying. But this was his home, and by the time he'd given up entertaining the thought of revenge against Sidney, he'd put down roots. He'd thought about moving a few years ago, when the last attacks happened and the police started sniffing around for information, but the girls had friends here, and Sam's never quite treated him the same since she learnt the truth. She would never have agreed to leave.
So here he is, staring Deputy Judy Hicks right in the face, unrecognised. God these people must be stupid, to look him right in the eyes and still not see him. He manages to talk his way back into the house with a well-placed quip about the absence of their good Sheriff and a reminder that his 14-year-old daughter, her own son's friend, who was attacked, is going to need some comforts of home and her inhaler.
He pauses to take in the murder scene on the way. He memorises the pattern of blood soaked into the living room carpet, the outline of his little girl, the kitchen knife abandoned on the floor. His own knife. They used his own knife on his daughter. When he finds out who did this, he's going to make them pay.
He packs a bag, he packs Tara's essentials, a change of clothes for Sam and the teddy bear she denies sleeping with. He heads for his own room to get some things, and that's when he learns somebody really does know.
Because Billy is scrawled across his bedroom wall in red.
Red is all he sees.
#/mp#ask box#Billy Loomis#AU: the past in the present#the tags tag#I love making baby Tara be attacked. it's so tragic.#the urge to make Sidney Ghostface here is astronomical lmao#anyway what are the logistics of there being two Mr Carpenters in Woodsboro technically and both have been seen being a father to Sam? Idk.#Billy's like 'Christina had a type what can I say'. Her husband left because he discovered the truth and he got to step up.#God I have so many thoughts about where this could go now actually#Like say it WAS Sidney. Who couldn't take knowing Billy was out there still. After everything she just couldn't take it.#She was never going to kill the girl. She just wanted to injure her. Scare her. Get Billy's attention.#But the girl fought back with unexpected ferocity. Things got out of hand. Billy uncovers her in the end and finally gets his revenge.#Gale and Dewey are distraught. Gale investigates. She discovered the truth. Billy Loomis is alive. She reveals it to the world.#Billy finally gets arrested. Tara doesn't take the reveal well.#Sam is old enough to take custody of her sister. She does her best. It isn't good enough. They both spiral.#Just a few years later her sister gets attacked AGAIN. This time it's so much worse.#Her injuries are so much more severe and the perpetrators were people they loved. It wasn't even about Billy this time.#It was about some fucking movie.#Sam moves them to New York after that. But everyone knows who they are. The daughters of a serial killer. With a body count of their own.#There's just no escape.

after spending all of season 2 gleefully imagining hannibal getting his comeuppance... I think mizumono broke me
#hannibal#that last supper with hannibal and will fucked me up#he knew he KNEW HE KNEW that will was still with the fbi#and gave him the hannibal style olive branch of:#hey. babe. it's okay. i get it. you're conflicted. we can just... go.#and abigail was ALIVE THE WHOLE TIME#and then he fucking killed her out of sheer petty spite that his rose-tinted murder family plan did not come together#because he could not stand the thought of abigail and will being a family without him#or even abigail still leaving with hannibal but missing will#and then JACK TRYING TO CALL BELLA#the only person i don't feel as bad for as i should is alana bc she just... doesn't really do it for me as a character#like i get it i get why she's the way she is she's meant to be the only sane person adrift in this sea of utter madness#but her being locked out of the loop and two steps behind everyone else is kind of... annoying. like alana!!! girl!!!! get with it!!!!!#but god hannibal. hannibal. hannibal.#i still kind of want to see him dead but i also kind of want to pat him#(from a distance. with like a mop or something like that one gif)#he really is in love with will#or at least the closest thing to love he can feel#and he really was imagining a way they could live a life together#sure it was a life on the run as cannibalistic serial killers constantly evading the fbi who would hunt them down until the day they died#but they would be cannibalistic serial killers with like. a picket fence. maybe some dogs.#oh my god wait the funniest thought just occurred to me#will refusing the offer of running off into the night with hannibal not because of any moral scruples#but because he would have had to leave his dogs behind#like hannibal come ON you KNOW this man did you really not include his dogs in the escape plan????#amateur mistake. do better next time.

What kind of movies do you think Luigi and Bowser would like watching? I can honestly see Bowser being a huge horror movie fanatic while Luigi is more into the romcom movies.
#luigi#luigi nintendo#bowser#bowser nintendo#bowuigi#bowser x luigi#super mario#super mario bros#headcanon#mario headcanons#You can kind of think of this as a add-on to a past post I made that talks about Luigi falling asleep in Bowser's lap#Although if you do I don't think Luigi and Bowser would be watching a horror movie in that scenario#Because I feel like Luigi would have a really hard (if not impossible) time falling asleep after watching a horror movie#Meanwhile you have Bowser getting all excited when the psycho killer kills the protagonists#Now if it's a romcom that's a different conversation because I can see Luigi tearing up when the two movie lovebirds finally kiss#And then there's Bowser who just rolls his eyes every 5 minutes because he finds all the mushy stuff too soft and boring#Although deep down he actually doesn't mind the romcom stuff all that much but he's sure as hell not going to admit that to anyone

I ain't reblogging that poll again, especially just to be salty, but Danganronpa fans continue to have wildly different takes than I ever could.
#Hayley Speaks#'It doesn't matter that Teruteru killed the wrong person-' I mean. In a contest of who killed WORSE#I would say killing the wrong person absolutely qualifies as worse if the other guy killed his intended target#'Oh but Leon was so messy' He was in a RUSH and also the name thing as a gotcha still bugs me#The water was SHUT OFF AT NIGHT#Literally all of them thought the letters were numbers until genius brain Kyoko pointed the idea out#Am I biased in favor of Leon? Probably but it pisses me off that he's in the SEMI-FINALS for the franchise's WORST KILLER#Disrespectful to my BOY#Also if anything; I think killing the person who originally planned on killing YOU should give him MORE points#Dude did most of that on the FLY

Doom: Killing people is funny.
Doom: (witnessing someone killing someone) Hey, stop that or I'll kill you!
#🌙 doomsday#see if she saw someone trying to kill an innocent person#she'd definitely intervene#she doesn't tolerate people killing innocent people#now if you're killing someone who deserves it?#like a shitty billionaire or serial killer or something along those lines#someone she feels deserves it to clarify#yeah she'll be cheering you on x)

for the 'how well do you know barton' quiz, @deathl1es (adam) scored 1 point.
❝ hmm, you know what? i still don't know a lot about you either as we had just met each other not too long ago. so eh, i guess scoring something is better than nothing, ❞ barton shrugged his shoulders at the one point the results that showed before him on his laptop for adam. he can't really recall telling the other anything other than his name and that he had a daughter, so in this instance, he couldn't really be 'cross' about it.
however, that didn't necessarily mean that barton was going to let adam off the hook either. for, this meant that they'd just have to spend more time around each other if he ever hoped to learn everything about the doctor that was on the quiz. a devilish smile spread across his lips as he intertwined his own fingers in front of each other (this picture... i'm sorry, y'all, but the meme edits of him with the hair are back JSJSJ LMAO).
❝ but ahh, i have to say that this has really opened my eyes to how much information there is now to cover with you about my background, adam. so what do you say we set a date and time for when i can talk your ear off about one of my favorite subjects — myself — until you know about everything that my past therapist told me is wrong with me? ❞ barton announced this to the other with a straight face but soon couldn't hold it as he burst out laughing.
❝ no, i'm honestly just messing around with you. we'd be at wherever we're planning to meet for a long time if i told you all of that. and it's not one of my favorites because everyone tends to give me this look when i talk about my father, ❞ he looked down at the table and absentmindedly sniffed before looking back up at the other. ❝ he got killed when i was eight, so i bet you can imagine why. but anyways... how do you feel about indian food? ❞
#deathl1es#ic post#not barton suddenly changing the subject right after telling adam his father was killed... like SKSKS OFC i'm just guessing he doesn't-#know about the fact that wesley was a SERIAL KILLER and got shot by jim gordon because of this but i'm not really sure so i uhhh.#went with that conclusion but yeahhh. barton really is that person who will just casually talk about something fucked up that happened-#to him and then continue on like there was nothing seriously concerning with what he just said ���#tw: parental death.#tw: mentions of murder.

growing up ace/aro is so funny because you spend all your time thinking that just being able to acknowledge someone is conventionally attractive or "hot" is sexual or romantic attraction & then one day someone hits you with the "I would actually date/have sex with this person & would change my behaviour/life to do so" & you're like whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatt???
#other kids: so who do you have a crush on? don't lie you HAVE to have a crush it's the rules#me: i guess that guy is conventionally attractive. this is what a crush is. i'm going to get a good grade in heteronormativity#something that is both normal to want & possible to achieve#me later: if i have to marry a man & have kids i'm going to throw up & cry & then become a serial killer#more & more every day i realize i'm probably both ace & aro because i don't want to date & i'm not attracted to anyone#sometimes i see a person who is attractive but i'm not like. wanting to date them or anything#i just think they look nice. like a black cat turning brown/orange in the sun or swifts circling over the river or a nice cloud#just cuz i think something looks cool doesn't mean i want to fuck it. or marry it. so i guess all that's left is kill#guess i'm cooking Cinder for dinner tonight then#also i have severe anxiety though so the ''what if you just haven't found the right person'' thing haunts me#like that is stupid as fuck shut the hell up but also. what if#well until then i'll just do what i've always been doing: my own thang
