all i'm saying is that if the only lens you can enjoy a story or a character dynamic through is romance and shipping, then well. your media analysis skills are just kinda shit actually. and i'm not sorry for saying it. you're missing the point of the story in question and removing the things that make it unique by shoving everything into boxes. not everything goes in the square hole.

Ben Wyatt the sitcom character ever. He became mayor of his town at 18 and bankrupt it making a winter sports complex. He’s terrified of cops. “Who hasn’t had gay thoughts.” He’s played by Adam Scott. He has a rollerskating kink. He writes Star Trek slashfic. He loves calzones. His knee jerk, subconscious reaction to someone calling Leslie a bitch was to punch him in the face. He buckled in his briefcase. Even he’s dancing. He named his calculator. He thought the idea of Leslie being a dictator was hot. He makes claymation. He’s like a milf. He made a board game. He’s a human disaster.

THE FRAMING. CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO OF HER. OH GOD.

[assorted-aesthetics]

im unironically obsessed w the Dylan/Gretchen stuff. u love ur husband but ur whole marriage u've been waiting for him to get his shit together and u have 3 kids and ur exhausted all the time and he's another thing u have to Manage but it's just bc he's excitable and this aspect of ur relationship - that he's not a good partner to u and u have to Manage him - creates a separation. and it's not like he's not trying or like u don't love him ur just not very in love. u can't even remember the last time u were. then one day strange people come to ur house and ask u to meet ur husband's work self. the one that has dedicated his literal entire life to supporting your family. ur uncomfortable but you go. and there is ur husband but for the first time in years he's just focused on u. he thinks ur so cool and so beautiful. he's so excited about the fact that you have kids together. he gets worried about the idea that his outside self might not be a good partner to you. he's Certain that his outside self must be happy even if you can't see it bc he's so happy to be around u. he asks if he can hug u.

congratulations to mark scout for somehow getting every employee at lumon to completely obsess over him. they are stalking him at restaurants they are living in his basement they are baking him cookies they are seducing him on work retreats they are doing experimental brain surgery on him they are lying about being lactation experts just to get close to his sister. and he’s truly just a guy. what can’t he do

[eagans]

ether as severance + “the courtship of kier and imogene” (relationship parallels)

(just so we’re clear, while the kier-imogene dynamic is clearly paralleled with helena and mark, it is also reiterated in cobel and mark, dr mauer and gemma, and even burt and irving to some extent; season 2 has also made it a point to show us that helena and cobel are both victims in their own ways while being perpetrators. it is not a black and white situation and misogyny will get you blocked.)

mr. milchick ordering eustice huang to sacrifice something of hers for the “betterment” that awaits her after completing her wintertide fellowship and it’s her little plastic handheld game that has a swimmer trapped inside of it that she used to play with all the time and she is made to smash that game and figurine into broken pieces with the statue of the literal head of jame eagan in an episode that starts with helena eagan swimming in a pool surrounded by glass walls. which could mean nothing.

[thelightwillbreakthrough]

can we talk about miss huang though. can we talk about eustice huang. can we talk about “your bed will be moved from your parents’ home” can we talk about her literally having to smash her toy (on milchick’s orders!!!) can we talk about her finally stating to show some sympathy for the innies. can we talk about her witnessing dylan fill out the resignation form and the last thing he says being telling her it isn’t her fault. can we talk about her waiting on the curb all alone like it’s a school bus. can someone save this poor child

[kestrel-of-herran]

it's so sad that the innies think the outies have all this life and freedom that has been denied to them and meanwhile mark is a depressed alcoholic who lives only in dim lighting, helena cuts eggs in pieces so small the fork shouldn't be able to lift them to her mouth, dylan and gretchen's marriage is desintegrating, all irving has is black coffee and black paint and the black hole of vengeance that wants to swallow him whole... it's just so fucking sad they have the physical means to reach for and grasp all the happiness denied to the innies and they still can't. they're too damaged to. they've drawn a chalk circle of hell around themselves and they never step out of it. the innies' lust for life is the only thing that will help them break the cycle. we can't, we can't, i'm ready, we can't, i'm ready, i'm ready, i'm ready.

i think they should've dropped a cold harbor teaser trailer that was just a 60 second uncut clip of this segment. can you imagine what hell that would've brought upon the theory ecosystem

[florencvassy]

wondering about the audition process to cast emile the goat. did they get the goat with the biggest wettest eyes. did they get the goat who could bleat the sweetest and saddest. the goat who could stand the cutest. the goat who could look into the gun the most innocently. did the goats called back have to do a chemistry test with gwendoline christie. many such questions. anyway that little goat has such a promising career ahead. what a performance.

Imagine waking up for the very first time and you're in hell. And you spend every minute you can trying to find ways to escape and you finally do manage to get out into the real world and you discover that you're actually the devil. CEO of hell. And you've got like 5 minutes before you get sent back so you do everything you can to destroy your CEO self's power before they get you and you succeed but then they do get you and knock you out. And the next time you wake up your gay elderly coworker is waterboarding you. Happened to my good friend Helly R
