She’s so badass guys

#NEED butch tex on my blog immortalized forever and ever #CANON TO ME

i can’t even describe how canon it is to me that tex has short hair after PFL… like. GIVE her an emotional shaving-head-in-the-mirror moment after she learns what she is… and she’d keep it short after that too, both to honor the new identity she’s carving out for herself and because short hair is just easier to deal with.

#yes ik she’s in a robot body - multiple over the course of the show #but the robot bodies canonically work however the fuck they want them to work to facilitate their plot and jokes so #they can have and grow hair to me… why the hell not?#in my mind they can do p much anything human bodies can do - just mechanically rather than organically #via complex scifi technology that is not our concern #bc that both supports the way they’re canonically described (from the examples i can think of)#AND is the most conducive to writing about them #but yeah. i just think she’d have short hair and this is important to me as a representation of her agency and personal identity #there are a lot of things she can’t control but that is one thing that she could #rvb #red vs blue #tex

#i will ALWAYS reblog short-haired tex #her shaving her head after leaving PFL is a canon event in my mind and i will accept no alternatives #tex

20 minutes into s7 rewatch and i have already written about how much i love Caboose in my notes three times. taking bets now on how many times i will have said it by the end of the season!

#caboose is very lovable and i cannot help this #my rvb notes are at LEAST 25% by volume me talking about how much i love the characters it’s comical at this point #my notes are for making the most devastating observations imaginable and talking about how much i love every character #AND talking about mimesis - naturally #Wash was onscreen for literally two minutes and the mimetic contagion is already evident :))))))))))#rvb

no matter how hard i try, nothing i write will ever be as fucked up as the stuff somebody who thinks they're creating a Wholesome AU with unexamined beliefs will make.

#I HAVE MULTIPLE RVB WIPS BASED ON FUCKED UP FIC DESCRIPTIONS I SAW ON AO3 THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO BE WHOLESOME #to be clear: i don’t ever intend to publish these fics #i will probably never even finish them #but like. i just had to explore these concepts a bit bc godDAMN!!!!!#people will think they’re doing something nice for a character and it’s legitimately the worst possible thing that could ever happen to the

i love y’all’s analyses here, but, in my case, The Water Playlist’s symbolism is nothing so sophisticated. It’s entirely made up of songs by the Mountain Goats, who happen to have a lot of songs about water, to the point that i was like “okay, water symbolizes memory for the purpose of this playlist” and here we are!

#it begins with Seed Song my Alpha Church in Blood Gulch song OF ALL TIME #i am literally always thinking about it…#i will post it properly later but - if anyone’s interested the water playlist is (in this order):#seed song / that hippolytine feeling / papagallo / shower / alpha in tauris / the river song / the water song #all of the songs work emotionally - invented symbolism aside #but the invented symbolism elevates it and it’s FUN #my irl rvb friend does NOT get what my association with papagallo is but i just think it’s very obvious??#‘it’s hard to grab ahold of some things sometimes / like you need me to remind you’#like. OOF #red vs blue

the centerpiece of my church and wash playlist is great on its own, but important context for it is that it’s a live recording and the preamble to the song consists of the singer saying that he’s been sober for years but he’s drinking now and he’s about to get married and the level of stress he’s under directly correlates to how awful his songs are for the characters in them and how badly they treat each other and that this song makes him sound like he should be sterilized “but it isn’t true”

#HEY HEY LET IT FALL ON ME LET IT ALL COME DOWN RELENTLESSLY #YOU SWORE THAT YOU WOULD STICK AROUND WHEN DAYS LIKE THIS STARTED COMING DOWN #this is the ONE song that i haven’t shown my friend yet #i’m hoping that it will make the entire project make sense to him but i fear that it will not #we shall seeeeeeeee #yes all the songs on the playlist are mountain goats songs lolllllll #Ask Me About The Water Playlist :)))))))))#>:)))))))))))))

on one hand, i appreciate that Wash took his time to systematically determine that Church was the Alpha using all of the accumulated evidence but, on the other hand, he must have known it immediately on the basis of “damn, this guy looks and sounds exactly like the guy who FUCKING KILLED HIMSELF IN MY HEAD”

memoryunit

@leonardalphachurch Yeah, I completely agree. I definitely meant less “he was obviously consciously aware that Church was the Alpha the whole time” and more “that must have been grating on his subconscious like crazy because how could he NOT notice the similarities on some level”… And yeah, when he finally sees Church projecting as a hologram he’s just standing there like “well, *FUCK*.”

#SO much more to say but somehow I only ever have time to talk about this when i’m actively passing out for the night #i have an entire playlist about them i’m so unwell about literally all of it #it’s themed around water for some reason??#i can explain but also i cannot #wash #church

#like. the fact that that must have been in the back of his mind throughout the entirety of s6 is crazy #the overwhelmingly high level of distress that Epsilon was under for the brief time that Wash knew him…#vs. Alpha Church being comparatively so much more relaxed… joking around… being sarcastic and snarky…#it must have been jarring #not to mention haunting #ugh #so much more to say but i am going to Sleep now - stay tuned!#red vs blue #wash #church

rewatching s6 and realizing that it’s the sacrificial crisis. Okay.

#literally insane how deeply it is the fucking sacrificial crisis #It’s About The Surrogate Victim #and also mimesis - though we already knew that #and the rest of the show is just them trying and failing to resolve the crisis over and over and over again #we even have the monstrous double - we literally have EVERYTHING #does ANYBODY know what i’m talking about? is there ANYBODY in here????????#red vs blue #rvb #if we don’t start talking about wash and church (both alpha and epsilon) as mimetic doubles NOW i am going to start killing

Church being legitimately devastated by Caboose’s deaths in the s5 timeloops is such excellent characterization. In the loops where he watches Caboose die, he loses all sense of the situation at hand (which is that they are being actively shot at), he sounds like he is going to CRY.

#like!!!!!!!!#WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO ABOUT THIS???????#I AM NOT OKAY #especially since HE was the one who called Caboose over on the radio to help them so it’s HIS fault #i just…#:(((((((((((((((#red vs blue #rvb #church

FINALLY finished rewatching s5

#i was like. afraid to finish rewatching bgc… i didn’t want it to end #but i needed to keep going with my rewatch so here we are #found a new mountai.n goats song for The Playlist so i’m very pleased #red vs blue #rvb

“He would not fucking say that” except its the badly written source material so he did, in fact, say that

miseria-fortes-viros

he did fucking say that but they don’t know him like i do

#if i find smth in rvb obnoxious and unnecessary i simply excise it from my perception of canon immediately #and then i will see people mad about stupid shit or taking it seriously as a part of the show #and it’s like. nah man… that didn’t happen #come live in my world - it’s a better place #(for the record - i’m coming at this from a character analysis perspective not a media analysis perspective)#(i DO enjoy watching things critically but not rvb bc i think that would make my head explode)#(i just mentally delete the obnoxious bs as it comes and i think that’s beautiful)

funniest thing that has ever happened to me at work is that my boss and I were driving around our park and one of our caterers spotted us, ran towards us at full speed, literally jumped a hedge to get to us, could not even speak by the time she arrived at our van because she was so out of breath, and the first thing that came out of her mouth when she could finally talk again was “DO YOU GUYS KNOW SARGE?”

memoryunit

in case you thought i was joking, here’s Sarge on the camp schedule…

#Sarge at summer camp… can you imagine?#he’d bring real guns with live ammo for the children to ‘play’ with #and call it an ‘invaluable training experience for the next generation of soldiers’#sarge

#i almost died #like. Yes. i DO know sarge… but probably not the same sarge you are thinking about…#but i’ve never heard of anyone else going by sarge so i really was not prepared…#quote from the caterer about sarge: ‘he has a beautiful soul’#this happened a month ago but i still think about it every single day #AU where sarge lives near my park and is a ‘storyteller with a beautiful soul’ who entrances caterers with his war stories #i could see it…#sarge running a public program though? PR nightmare…#red vs blue #rvb
