Silly (authentic and true) Vs. Silly (really unhealthy coping mechanism)
@daringdoombringer IVE BEEN WANTING TO DRAW YOU SOMETHING BC I COULDNT DURING ARTFIGHT 💔💔💔💔 I love your ocs so so much but I couldn’t think of what to draw so have the more sinister and evil version of what you drew for me
silly lil rant because there is nothing that makes me sadder than getting a whump scene in a show and then it going "actually, it was all pretend! 😜"
I watched the leverage episode "The Tap-Out Job" and they set it up like Eliot (the hitter) gets drugged in a fight, and it's played as a "you took the safety off the gun, Eliot fights to survive, he's gonna kill the other guy now because he has to focus to NOT kill someone" but then "oh haha he was ✨acting!✨ they switched the bottle so he wasn't drugged"
NO?? I wanted to see my lil guy go batshit? I want to see the crew trying to calm him down until the drugs get out of his system? I want to see some hurt and some COMFORT? like it was good in the moment but we really couldn't have gotten ONE good drugging scene?
anyway. I'm still rewatching and attempting to gif it but IT COULDA BEEN BETTER. silly lil rant over
Uuuugh, that’s such a swing and a miss on the writers’ part! The character development that could have brought!

Ain't It a Grand and Glorious Feeling? by Clare Briggs
Never thought I'd say this but can I get makeup tips from that turn-of-the-century businessman? Dude's eyelashes and blush are on point.
Caption: When you are a steno and CRAZY about one of the salesmen in the office. And you THINK he likes you. But you believe in treating 'em cool.
[ID: A woman in a black dress with lace collar and short bobbed hair sits primly upright at her desk, typing on a typewriter (or something that looks like one). Behind her, a man in a loose-fitting suit with strikingly pretty eyelashes and a small mustache poses. /end]
Caption: And you have always pictured yourself as his wife until it seemed almost real.
[ID: She turns from her work to face the audience and daydreams about a marriage between Fancy-Eyes and her. /end]
Caption: And one day, he confides in you his great secret. He is going to be married next week to the "most wonderful girl in the world."
[ID: Fancy-Eyes leans in close to whisper confidentially to the shocked stenographer. /end]
Caption: And you try to register enthusiasm. And you smile and congratulate him, etc., while you inwardly write in agony.
[ID: She turns away from Fancy-Eyes to weep profusely into a handkerchief. /end]
Caption: And you resign yourself to a lonely old spinsterhood. Never a-gain!!! YOU are off men for LIFE!!
[ID: She sits back down at her desk and buries her head between her elbows, her hands clenched into fists above. /end]
Caption: And then next day, he tells you he simply must get it off his chest... It was a frame-up to see if you cared for HIM and now he knows you DO. And it is you, YOU he loves. It is you who are the "most wonderful girl in the world," etc. etc.
OH-H-H, GIRLS!!
Ain't it a gr-r-r-rand and glor-r-r-rious feelin'? 𝄞♫Ta tata TYA... ♫
[ID: Fancy-Eyes comes back and leans even closer to the overjoyed steno, her fists raised now in ecstatic victory. /end]
