So what was up with that long scene of Jack Slash milking Crawler?
I think it symbolises how Jack Slash uses up the members of the S9, predating on them in a similar manner to the victims he tortures and murders.
When Crawler was groaning and begging Slash to stop, how many times has Slash heard such calls for inaction from civilians? When he gave the milk to bonesaw to use to create a new virus, how many times has he handed civilians to bonesaw to make some new horror? When Crawler quailed seeing Slash approach with a huge bucket, how many civilians have been struck with fear at the mere mention of the S9?
Its a quite rich text, and a really underdiscussed and underappreciatted scene.
I am a bit confused as to why the first draft WB accidentally released described Crawler's groaning as erotic though.
Anyways, so, Shatterbird being born in Dubai is something that made a Lot of her like. Click. Particularly with how she treats Sand given how Dubai is literally a place of wealth know for ultra-extravagent shows of class disparity in the middle of a fucking desert. With a woman who holds her entire identity on the amount of class she has and her placement/recognition. Like, no shit she isn't good a controlling sand and it feels like static to her, it might as well be a symbol of lower class to her. The wealthy and influential got to stay inside of glass and control it, those without any Didn't. The fact she got that with a Cauldron vial is hilarious too. How the hell do you get that lucky. I'm like 90% sure that the sand thing could be further improved via training and mental exercises she can't do because it would fuck up some subconscious stigma in her head.
Which makes her subscription to the Slaughterhouse 9 and her affection for Jack all the funnier, because they're literally murder hobos. Jack could probably sleep in a dumpster and have his entire life be revealed for the grifting lie it is and he'd go back to slashing like nothing happened. And she fell for him. She fell for the serial killer equivalent of a hipster who plays music in his van and says he's gonna tear down the system. She fell for a guy with like, NEGATIVE class. She's a girl who went to a preppy private school who fell for the first person to probably make her question her ideas about class since Jack Slash is the most unfair person to fight/plan against in worm and is Weirdly effective, despite not having Any class, and made her question some of her stigma while breaking her down in the S9 trials. Thats right, this fucked up murder pair is actually an example of a underclass, unprivleged guy making someone born into a place of wealth and influence question the importance of Class when they can do So much without it. . . Which is such a funny spin on that trope. Since. They're just piece of shit serial killers who are only applying this to the 'art' of mass murder, and nothing else. He probably just helped her think "Woah, actually, I can murder WITHOUT needing to make it a metaphor in relation to a Freudian psychological theory, and that can make it More painful since it's senseless!" And that's it. She thinks she's evolving past pre set ideas of class with Jack but all she's doing is changing very surface level stuff and tolerating things, while trying to find roles/positions of power to put herself into for her identity. Like being the 9's Herald. Anyways. Just some headcanons after reading the missing interlude for research on my last post.
last night i dreamt that the slaughterhouse nine had taken hold of my house and family for like a week. they of course had strict rules as a challenge that theyd do their typical S9 activities if you broke (nuking everyone), for some reason mannequins included some kind of shaving???? he coccooned my brother too. my brother was apparently also a parahuman related in some way to crawler with similar abilities. siberian also wore a brazillian soccer jersey and made me listen to techno, and holy shit man jack slash made a sick as fuck omelette god DAMN
