FAULKNER lies back and drifts in the water, breathing hard, cackling to himself - alone in the dark. Hysterical, elated, broken, and despairing all at once.

faulkner's maniacal laughter save me faulkner's maniacal laughter

[siltslut]

the symbolism of faulkner breaking his staff when he hits his peak of going off the rails. he cares so little about his role now!! he has no way out of it!! he was given far too much power!! he despises everyone who looks up to him!! he’s killing the embodiment of everyone who had faith in him!!

Category five Carpenter moment

i want to put Faulkner under a microscope. i want to see a write up on his psychological profile. i want to open him up and see whats going on in there.

he's been affected by the trawler man since at least the water-butt at whatever teen age he was. drowned his brother. left home and found the Parish without getting Got by the authorities somehow. finished growing up in Catholic River God Seminary. offered to kill Carpenter for the Trawler man for not being faithful enough. killed a motel guy bc he romanticized religious murders and had no concept of the consequences (due to being radicalized by the Parish?). thought that the crab monster angel wouldn't hurt him due to his ✨ faith ✨ and then damn near died bc the big ass crab didn't care. decided the only way to fix the situation (being chased by cops) was to wipe some town off the fucking map, but isn't actually as evil as he wishes he were and so he wimped out. helped Carpenter push-pull-taunt their god into wiping that same town off the map saving the day. thinks Carpenter died and so returned to the Parish knowing that Katabasian Mason wanted him dead. gets sent on a suicide mission with like 8 teens by Mason, survives AGAIN (the teens don't), links up with Carpenter, and comes back to murder Mason. consequences, once again, were not thought of so he pins the murder in Carpenter and takes over the river cult Parish. killed Roemont by stopping the man's assassination attempt and, hid crab-nip on him, and let the man drive straight into river of crab angels to be torn apart. declared himself high prophet like any good cult leader. immediately started to hate it and lose his faith (lol). loyal Sibling Rane hid him at his childhood home following the assassination. it took all of maybe 2-3 days for his neglectful dad with dementia to give in to a death god ("all gods are gods of death, Richard") IN FRONT OF HIM. Faulkner tried to drown himself in the same water-butt he had killed his brother in but was pulled out by Rane. he's convinced to give out the crab nuke codes only to immediately find out it will kill Carpenter who he had sibling bonded with (prior to putting out a hit on her). he drowned Rane for them forcing the crab nuke issue but was also (not literally) trying to drown Charlie/The High Prophet Faulkner.

Carson is so evil!!!! But written so well!! And for that I have to love him! Because how was the public supposed to trust someone like Shrue when Carson is right there the far more reasonable and outwardly sympathetic person! Which we all know! Is what it’s supposed to be! That’s how it is! He plays the game so well! But I just have to really appreciate how evil he is and therefore also how realistic he is— because he really is realistic.

The miracle wouldn’t have gotten him anyway. The good part about crabs is the meat inside- and that man is hollow.
