It is once again praising the bbc radio version of IDES hours.

The choice to have Bunny's attempt be on a bridge remains a really good one. Between the heavy atmosphere and palpable chill and Bunny's somber narration it is just a fantastic piece of scene setting, and Raffles literally emerging from the fog to talk him down is about as plain of imagery as you can get.

There's one moment in particular that is by far my favourite part of the episode.

In canon, Bunny responds to Raffles' 'Do you have the pluck?' by pulling out his revolver and putting it to his head. It's a panicked, shameful move, he's obviously embarassed about it as soon as Raffles takes it from him, and it's also as concrete and material an answer as he could have given. It's very in line with this Bunny's all or nothing mentality, his rashness and desire for grandeur clashing with his anxieties and self-consciouness. It's the first of many, many instances of him outwardly comitting to something bold and scary, and then backing out when he realises he's misjudged. Raffles doesn't quite know this yet, though. His reaction is delayed, overpowered by a moment of fascination and wonder and possibility, but it's still shock and fear, he still swears he'll intervene if Bunny pulls something like that again, a far cry from his assesment of Bunny's character in later stories.

Radio Bunny doesn't do any of that. He is standing on the edged of a bridge, and Raffles asks him if he really plans to jump, and then there's just...silence. There's this moment where the audio format is perfectly utilised to cut the audience out, to completely darken the scene to us. Bunny doesn't climb up onto the railing, he doesn't make some move to jump, to physically prove he'll do it, he just turns and stares at Raffles, lets Raffles see him, and Raffles, who we have only known so far as a michievous teenager, understands something in the look on his face, and decides that this is it, this is his partner, this will be the one and only person who may ever know him as he is.

It cements how much intimacy the adaptation is going to allow between them, as well as immediately establishing that it knows very well how to utilize its medium and characters. It's just such a good scene and I love it dearly.

the thing about getting out of the torment nexus is that you do start thinking "man if you ignore the torment i used to have a lot of fun in the torment nexus"

rabbits are lucky on account of all the clover like they eat so much clover that they're bound to be chowing down on some four-leafed ones and all of the luck from those few lucky clovers is heavy (good luck weighs more than bad luck or neutral luck does) so it slips down the body and gets stored in the rabbit's feet and that's how their feet are so strong and able to hop so far it's all the luck.

it's always "you need to quit using the demon blade that is corrupting your soul and encouraging you to shed oceans of blood in its name cold turkey, you need to stop right now" and never "let's discuss some harm reduction techniques that will help you to form a more positive, safer relationship with the demon blade"
