having good & true friends will literally save and protect you in a million unfathomable ways. like okay we have written so many times about lovers. but the way a platonic friend laughs and cries with you. the way they hold your hand at 14 years old and at 34. the way they keep a little silver tie to you, touching base over and over and over. how you can go years without talking, only to re-meet and discover: oh shit! you're still cool!

there are people who have been in my life for more than half of it, and i have loved every version of them. do you know how fucking beautiful that is. yeah love will save the world. but the way friends love you is gonna save the you.

cut script bits from season 3's Dead of Knight. a lot changed from script to screen on this episode, michael was successfully poisoned a lot earlier on than in the final. kitt's afraid to say out loud that michael is dying and doesn't until michael presses him about it. also i much prefer the final cut of the episode where kitt is telling stupid jokes for hours trying to keep michael conscious, but i can still admire the concept that he's so shaken by having his partner so close to death that he Can't joke around, or at least not until he's asked

+ "motherly" 🥺🥺😭😭😭😭💖💖💖💖im gonna scream and cry and frow up

idk if this is a good prompt but put doomguy in myhouse.wad I think he would find it enriching

Right, so I've been mulling on this one for a little bit now, n I'm not opposed to writing something for you, I'm just not... entirely sure what to write? Because the thing is, myhouse.wad doesn't actually really have anything to do with Doom as a story. Sure, Doom is important in that it's the vessel through which the story is told and one of the connections between the narrator and his dead companion. But as far as Doom itself goes, and the story about a man who was too angry/stupid to die, fighting demons and saving earth, none of that is at all relevant to myhouse.wad and its story. For all intents and purposes, Doomguy isn't actually a character in myhouse.wad. So I'm not really sure how exactly to fit him in there.

Absolutley no hate, i just wondering why you dont like Colonel Potter?

I was going to hold off on answering this until I had time to write something properly, but a) the chances of me feeling like I ever have that time are slim and b) I realised if I really Got Into It the answer would be long and winding and UTTERLY boring. So I tried to wrap it up lmao.

Just to be clear, for me there are two main ways to 'like' a character? There is liking them as if they were a real person - reckon you'd get on with them in real life maybe - and then there is liking them as a character, finding them entertaining or useful within the narrative.

I don't like Potter as a person. And on some level, I do like Potter in the latter way... Harry Morgan is excellent and regularly makes me properly laugh, which is what you want from a sitcom character, and I think he achieves what he is meant to achieve in the story, he fulfills his role. I just don't like his role.

For me, Potter represents a lot of what I don't like about the messaging of the post s3 show in regards to the military - namely the sort of milquetoast "some good army" idea, the way it is painted as being full of 'good eggs' without enough disection of what that means. He is also used as a character that upholds a lot of the less progressive ideas in the show, without much challenge, and while it's useful to push the sitcom plots along... well. It doesn't half piss me off.

Ultimately though this sort of thing is often putting a reason to a feeling rather than the other way round, and there are other characters that I have similar issues with that I like a lot more so I cannot discount just personal preference I guess!

It's always bothered me that we don't get to know what happened to that kid who was mistaken for Reynie when he got caught spying on the Executives and Recruiters.

Because, we know very few things about him:

He was a Messenger, and a candidate for an Executive in the future

He was a "special recruit" (Read: kidnapped and brainwashed child)

He was curious, and asking questions got him sent to the Waiting Room at least once

He was likely going to be retrained as a Helper, so he's probably an older teen

He's average looking

What else?? What happened to him??? Is he okay? Did he really end up being one of the Helpers and then Mr. Benedict gave him his memories back?

I've been thinking about him so much.

I've been calling him "Digory Hallows"; "Digory" being a French name meaning "lost one", and "Hallows" an English surname meaning "hollow". Also it just sounds like an MBS character name.

And I have decided that Milligan probably just rescued him in his spare time on the island and forgot to tell the other kids because there was so much going on.

He was moving around the Institute, pretending to be a Helper and trying to blend in, when he saw this kid getting taken away to get his brain swept. He's not super close, so for a minute Milligan also mistakes him for Reynie, and he starts panicking because How on earth did the kid get caught, I thought they were fine? Does this mean the others (Kate) are in trouble too?

So he runs over and takes out the Executives/Ten Men who have a hold of the kid, and part way through he realises from behaviour/lack of recognition/general demeanor that this kid isn't Reynie. But, he's not about to leave something half-finished, and the kid needs help anyway, so he finishes dealing with the situation. He then just kind of looks at this boy who is Clearly Not Reynie, and awkwardly introduces himself as "someone who will help".

The kid doesn't have any good information about the Whisperer, since he didn't have the background that Mr. Benedict gave the team, so after he relays a few details about the building set up and directions, Milligan helps him sneak onto a supply ship and escape. He also tells him to check in with some people they have connections with, so the boy isn't totally alone when he gets to the mainland.

And then the normal sequence of events proceeds and Milligan gets captured, etc., meanwhile Digory goes on to be the most accomplished useless side character ever, and gets a job on the Shortcut! Eventually, he makes his way back to Mr. Benedict and gets whatever memories he may have lost restored, but by then he's seen the world, and he settles down in Stonetown to be a journalist.

He does cross paths with Reynie and the others when he gets back, since Milligan checks in to see how he's doing, and Kate points out how similar the two look. At which point the whole story comes out, and Reynie apologises profusely, but Digory waves him off. He would have been stuck with Curtain for much longer if Milligan hadn't gotten him out, and he probably wouldn't have been able to see how bad things were going until it was too late.

As it is, he's happy with where he ended up. He can put his curiosity to good use and help people now, but he acknowledges that he was in way over his head at the Institute, and he wouldn't have been able to do what the kids did. However, he does help interview the Helpers and other ex-Messengers, and tries to get the information out about all the good Mr. Benedict did as much as he can.

this mindset that comparing other genocides to the holocaust is so immoral and wrong and offensive is so nonsensical. comparing in this case is not about evaluating what was/is "worse", downplaying the severity of it, or erasing the unique contexts and characteristics that EVERY historical event obviously comes with, or anything like that, it's about identifying what genocide looks like and how it happens so that we can act to stop it if we see it. the "exceptionality" thinking when it comes to the holocaust has not helped anyone. in fact it prevents solidarity to others suffering a similar fate.
