Excuse me sir…your handsomeness is showing…

[ddvitasfan]

Just watched Jeffrey’s Babylon 5 episode and hooo man. Harriman deserved much better. Sweet little guy just wanted to be a soldier and had that stripped away. I honestly wish he had more episodes because my goodness I absolutely love him.

By the way, should I make a Jeffrey Combs fan blog…?

[jeffrey-combs-smash-or-pass]

Harriman Gray is a babe.

[ddvitasfan]

I haven’t even watched his Babylon 5 episode yet and I just KNOW from what I read that Harriman Gray is a dedicated sweetheart who would rock the bedroom, mentally and physically.

[ddvitasfan]

I’m gonna need like 10 minutes. I just watched Doctor Mordrid for the first time and needless to say I love the charmingly awkward sorcerer…

I wanna bury my face into Jeffrey Combs’ beautifully fuzzy chest…

Okay, back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Okay look, I know not everyone is into this concept that I’m about to propose but I’m feeling ✨chaotic✨ today…

Permission to gush/ramble/share headcanons in regards to Herbert West? I’m taking a tolerance break from The Herb™️ and my brain is going at the speed of Mach Zoom and I need to ramble…

[weyounthevorta]

Herbert likes to laugh. He’s selective about who he indulges in laughter with, because quite often his sense of humor is mistaken for maliciousness or sarcasm, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. When he chooses to laugh he’s feeling genuine joy and a connection with the person he’s with.

He doesn’t understand why Dan doesn’t laugh with him. After all, Dan is the one person he feels safe enough to be playful with. He finds opportunities to sneak puns, jokes, and japes into their routines at home, and gets a kick out of startling Dan, and every time he does, he hopes Dan will finally laugh along with him.

Sometimes he sits in his room at night, replaying his jokes in his head, trying to puzzle out the reason Dan didn’t think it was funny. He wants Dan to laugh with him, like his brother used to when they were little. Before the fire. Before the orphanage. And before Crawford was adopted, and he wasn’t. Why wasn’t he adopted too? Why didn’t the Tillinghasts want him? Was he not charming enough? He knew he lacked Crawford’s easy charisma, but his brother had understood him, and he was ripped away.

He’s shown his inner vulnerability to Dan. Had shown his anger, his fear, his ambition, and most intimately of all, his humor. does Dan see it? he wonders. Does Dan know how much Herbert aches on the inside? Does he know that this obsession with the reagent stems from pain? The pain of lost loved ones. The ones who understood who he was.

The ones who laughed with him.

[ddvitasfan]

Thanks…

Real shizz though, I love playing with the idea of Crawford being Herbert’s brother. Younger or older, depends on the mood.

And I also love how you mentioned Herbert being obsessed with his serum because he doesn’t want to lose anyone else dear to him. And in turn, he will do just about anything to keep the very few people he has close to him, which brings me to the Gloria resuscitation scene in Bride.

He could’ve walked away, or even botch the attempt to resuscitate, but he didn’t because he knew Dan was attached to her and he and Dan were both falling apart on the inside with their feuds and tension. Herbert may not have been attached to Gloria, but he WANTED to save her to make Dan happy and trust him once more so they can continue their partnership in their work. Even when her death is called and he tells Dan to go home, you can just see the tenderness and sympathy in his eyes. Dan essentially has Herbert’s heart in his hands, just like Dan entrusted Meg’s (literal) heart, and in turn Dan’s as well, in Herbert’s hands.

Wow that was a mouthful…

[weyounthevorta]

I’ve seen so many wonderful, beautifully written fics that fall short in one egregious way.

They portray Herbert as emotionless. Incapable of understanding feelings or expressing them.

I believe Herbert is a deeply emotional being. He doesn’t express them in ways that are readily understood, and he certainly expressed them in ways that could be considered unhealthy, but the more you look, the more you see just how deeply he feels.

Why is he so obsessed with eliminating death? To become immortal? For fame and fortune? He sneers at fame and glory chasers, and has no contingency in place to ensure his own reanimation.

The answer lies in his reaction to Dan’s declaration that he’s moving out. The instant heartache, fear, and desperation. He can’t lose Dan. He cares about Dan. Herbert cares. Deeply.

[ddvitasfan]

YES!! THANK YOU!!!

That’s why I see sooo much of myself in Jeff’s portrayal of Herbert! He took a bland, one note mad scientist trope from a chaptered short story and turned him into a beautifully human and flawed and emotional character. He goes through fear, desperation, amusement, annoyance, and so much more.

And let’s not forget the unused scene with Hill hypnotizing Herbert and talking down on Gruber. He shed tears of grief and vulnerability, and I swear you can see him physically deflate as you see the fading hope as well. Then it shifts to anger, rage even when we get to the shovel scene.

Another thing I love is how Herbert is curious to a fault. Combined with his impulsive tendencies, his curiosity is really what catalyzes the events of the films.

Backing up a bit to you talking about him being disgusted with fame and glory chasers. Absolutely true, and that’s why he chooses his words carefully when he and Dan are in the basement after the incident with Rufus. I believe Herbert senses Dan’s overwhelming empathy and likewise curiosity, which is why he wanted to show the effects of the serum on Rufus. He found Rufus dead (I personally believe he didn’t kill him), he knew Dan loved the cat, and knew it would be the perfect way to get him on his side.

I actually have something I wrote down in my notes regarding something like this if you’re interested…

[weyounthevorta]

If I’m interested?? Yes, please! I think I found a kindred spirit today.

I’m with you on Rufus. I think they kept his passing ambiguous because at this point we’re viewing Herbert through Dan’s lens, and Dan doesn’t trust him yet. He hears Herbert saying one thing and Meg accusing Herbert of another thing, and Dan doesn’t know what really happened, which is why we don’t either.

I choose to believe Herbert, because Herbert doesn’t hurt what Dan loves. Herbert loathed Meg. But when it came down to it, he rushed in to help rescue her. He was heartbroken when Dan took up with Francesca, but he never touched her.

Was he sad the cat died? No. Would he risk hurting Dan? No.

And YES! That deleted scene with Hill… only Hill’s threat to Dan’s life snapped him out of the hypnosis. His love for Dan was stronger than his admiration of his mentor or the threat to his work.

I hated that they cut that scene, because it makes Herbert look manipulative when he mentions the threat to Dan later on.

[ddvitasfan]

Since you wanna see my notes, prepare thy posterior! Also this was taken from a discussion with my bestie and we got into some more nitty-grit.

“So, let’s run with the novelization that Herbert is indeed an orphan who bounced from foster home to foster home. I feel like part of the reason he seems so detached from people, yet also latches onto people he finds fascinating and trustworthy, is because of that. Foster homes can be nests full of abuse in many ways, hence why he seems emotionally, sexually, and socially repressed. When he finally does find someone he can look up to and see as a parental figure, I.E. Gruber, that figure is snatched away from him in a horrific way even when he tried to talk him out of the experiment. Flash forward to when he meets Dan. Dan is kind, dedicated, and brilliant, everything Herbert would want in a professional and romantic/sexual partner. And because of him withdrawing so far back in his younger years, it slingshots him into this attachment and dependency on Dan because he DESPERATELY WANTS what he missed out on and be considered a good person. Herbert wants to better mankind, and he’s incredibly flawed and neurodivergent coded. He doesn’t know how to be “normal” because he was never around normalcy in the first place.”

[weyounthevorta]

So can I just say first of all, yes. Yes to this.

Herbert’s codependency reeks of trauma, as does his obsession with defeating death. It was the death of his parents that dropped the first domino, and he couldn’t do anything to prevent it. He’s been chasing control over loss ever since, in more ways than one.

[ddvitasfan]

Thank goodness, a kindred spirit.

And I know the scene where Herbert injects reagent into his arm was scrapped and Jeff doesn’t like it, but I think the underlying premise is a good one to discuss. Relying on something stimulating and regulating, even if it hurts down the line, so he doesn’t fall flat on his face and fail. A need to control his circumstances to find that sanctuary, balance, and stability…

What if he was black sheep or even the scapegoat of his blood family/foster family?

Being a human dartboard like that can and will cause a person to view themselves in a negative light. In Herbert’s case, it’s likely that his negative light manifested as being reserved and spiteful towards his naysayers. If he can’t triumph over those who said he can’t do it, then what else does he have? The likely answer: emptiness and loss of purpose.
