the after hours spoilers

milchick freezing while drummond uses the same tactic on him that he uses on the severed employees in the break room, only to tell him to eat shit, insult his intelligence, and remind him his only job is to watch the employees on the severed floor

milchick tearing up while listening to mark scout, the man working on the most important file to date, on the day the file is to be completed, tell him that he just needs a day for himself and that life is what everything is for, that work is just work, making him promise to come in the next day and then thanking him for calling

milchick redemption arc (?) where he simply stops doing the work of cobel, and himself, and graner, and instead employs my favorite work behavior: malicious compliance

Also - holy mother of god - is also known as a Hail Mary - you know - like the last ditch effort to rescue someone or something - a desperate attempt to rescue or save something at risk of being lost - the last hope!

I can’t be the only one seeing where this is going - Eddie’s last attempt to save his relationship with Chris - his last hope!

Because there is something in the concept of Eddie’s desperation and him choosing to ask Mary to help hi - because Catholics also believe Mary, because she was a virgin who gave birth to the son of god, was assumed into heaven without dying - that she lives there as a corporeal person. It is believed that as his mother, Jesus cannot deny a request she makes of him and that god has the same bound put upon him - because she followed his desires and gave birth to his son.

So, when you find yourself in a completely hopeless situation and start to pray to God but that doesn’t work, you pray to a saint to add their prayers to yours to get a signal boost. Still ‘no.’ Then you pray to Mary, and convince her of your dire need. If she is swayed, she intercedes on your behalf, getting a ‘yes’ when all else fails.

And so Eddie reaching this point would be really interesting and good - especially because the dual meaning suggests he will have to appeal to his own mother and get her to help him - where she has been obstructive before - that she will finally see the genuine love and care and effort Eddie is putting in and will finally choose to help him.

so, with a show of hands, is anyone else extremely upset, disappointed, and angry at how this arc ended?

in fact, personally:

but maybe thats just me

[goosecastle41]

Hey so if I wrote a fic about Curly post Mouthwashing and how he suffers from the guilt of not protecting his crew while also suffering the pain as a disabled person who was once able bodied would y’all want that or should I just suffer the feelings I have about that in silence?

[grahamcarmen]

And my thing STILL is that as carmen gets a stronger sense of her past and better connections with her friends and allies the need/desire for Gray in her life doesn't decrease and dissapate, it INCREASES and is refined. All while constantly being more sincerely layered in romantic tones as the show goes on.

theres multiple reasons i dont like s/urgeamy but one of the things ive seen people do with it that annoys me a bit is the idea that surge and kit are going to become good because surge is gonna fall in love with amy and thats gonna be her only motivation to change.. and im sorry but am i the only one who thinks it would suck so bad for such fun antagonists to instantly switch sides just because one of them was "fixed" by romance and no other reason

[dotsartspot]

Aight maybe an unpopular opinion but i have to say it bc i feel like i’m going insane??? I just don’t understand why people are so insistent on seeing this season as a black and white scenario in regards to TRG and especially Kipperlily.

First of all I have zero beef with this season. Dimension 20 has never once claimed to be on the same level of narrative seriousness as a show like Critical Role. D20 is a full comedy show on a streaming platform that posts almost exclusively comedic content. I get that people are disappointed and I understand why and it’s fair but it also just seems a little… i guess odd is the word I’ll use, to be so upset about feeling like the message fell flat or that the bad kids were rewarded for being assholes or what have you when Dimension 20, first and foremost, is a comedy show done by professional improv comedians. These comedians have also fully stated on record that emotionally heavy seasons are really rough for them. That’s the whole reason why they haven’t done a second Crown of Candy with the full cast of Intrepid Heroes. Their lack of making this season super emotionally impactful is probably simply bc despite the overarching message that was setup, they didn’t WANT it to be more serious than that.

And the second issue I have with complaints i’m seeing is the way people are coddling Kipperlily. I get she was manipulated I get that it’s tragic its part of why her character is so good but also hey guys can we please stop pretending like the kid who willingly became a pawn of a man trying to become a war god is fully innocent in her own downfall? Can we stop pretending like emotional distress, especially when it’s fueled by so much bitter jealousy towards someone who has truly done nothing to you, is any sort of justification for her actions? She’s the only one who joined them willingly. I’m not saying she wasn’t manipulated and that her story isn’t tragic but she wasn’t a GOOD person. She was a fucked up teenager who decided her sadness was more important than everyone else in the world and then actively aided a plan that would cause direct harm to innocent people who did not affect her in the slightest. Redemption is real and second chances are worth giving but not everyone is worth giving it to and i know some people think that’s such an awful thing to say but as much as they think it’s so awful that doesn’t stop it from being true. EVERYONE has their battles. EVERYONE is messed up in some way shape or form, that’s just the reality of the world. But not everyone who has trauma is an asshole. Because despite whatever pain you may have, you yourself ultimately decide what you’re going to do with it and how you’ll respond to your own ugly negativity towards others. And imho people who choose to take their pain and wield it as a weapon against people who have done nothing wrong are not always worth talking off the ledge. Sometimes these people don’t WANT to be better, they just want their behavior to be justified. Sometimes they take your attempts to reach out a hand to try to drown you instead, or just fully drown you with them. Sometimes people aren’t willing to put in the work to make themselves better, and you can extend all the hands in the world but if that person does not WANT to get better, they simply never will.

why are you, as an adult in 2024, still hung up on reylo. why are you still mocking the shippers. why do you believe yourself to be superior only because you dislike a stupid ship from a fucking space fairytale. girl (gnc) get a grip

[robocops-a-christ-allegory]

It is gonna be a fucking nightmare telling people that Dai Dark is technically the Dorohedoro sequel.

[ghost-bard]

Yknow. I dont think charlie is gonna win the trial.

I think that because of what Charlie did yesterday its going to be ruled that hes a danger (mainly to himself and his family) and because of that, Mariana gets custody and Charlie gives away his soul to bring JuanaFlippa back.

And i think Charlie will go “back to hell.”

And i think he is going to crawl his way out because he doesn’t think Mariana can take care of their daughter.

And i think he is going to cause much more chaos than he did before. Probably by accident if we’re being honest.

sometimes enemies to lovers is well written and enjoyable. and sometimes it's just some poor guy getting bullied, attacked, harassed and manipulated until inexplicably they fall in love with their abuser...

[hypertranced]

[psychicbluebirdmiracle]
