Wistfully thinking of this time last year where I was just working my way through The Magnus Archives and reading Good Omens fanfic and being less scared to put the heating on and the world was just a teensy bit less scary and the only eldrich horrors were the ones in stories instead of the ones hiding in plain sight or in government or justifying bombing children.

"Compassion is ethics detective."

Joel Theriot tells Rust when he's being rough as usual, cop that he is.

Marty gets his fair share for killing the guy which, yes, had it gone differently, would've lead to different circumstances. Maybe getting to Errol sooner than they did.

But the same thing happened with Rust too. A guy in prison whose confession he got for double homicide offered information and asked Rust to make him a deal. Instead of keeping an open mind on that, listening to him patiently, Rust just beats him up and then that guy is found dead the very next day. Every thing he said turns out to be true which haunts Rust for the next decade.

Maybe had he believed the guy and listened to what he said, instead of going for police brutality, it would've turned out better. Maybe they'd solved it sooner.

My Man Barrow

One of my favorite things about Thomas and Guy as a couple is how the inevitable power imbalance is leveled out by what can only be described as a ‘confidence balance’. I mean, Guy has the glamorous career, the connections, and the money. The house is his. He’ll technically be Thomas’s employer, so in terms of a marital arrangement he’ll be in the traditional bread winner position, at least at first. Of course, there are about a million different ways to set up that base financial arrangement, and that’s not even touching the possibility of Thomas taking a second job in his spare time, but the point still stands: Thomas doesn’t have much to bring to the table as far as power and wealth is concerned.

That doesn’t mean he doesn’t bring anything to the table, though. What he brings is years of experience doing a job that he’s learned inside and out, and the confidence that comes with it. His job technically hasn’t changed: he will be running the house, taking care of Guy’s wardrobe, etc. Butler, valet, ‘gentleman’s gentleman’, functionally once you’ve learned a level you can move through all of those distinctions easily. Meanwhile Guy, International heart throb, star of screen, etc. can be quoted as saying he doesn’t know what he’s doing half of the time! Even though he’s successfully filmed a talkie – without being dubbed over – he’s not certain he has a career. In a time period when ‘actor’ still calls to mind the stage rather than the screen, he’s not even certain that what he’s doing constitutes as acting! If you wanted to claim he has a case of impostor syndrome, you’d have a good basis for it.

Guy is the financial/social support, Thomas is the steady emotional support. Once he adjusts to America and gets his feet under him, he will be a less-omniscient Jeeves to Guy’s less-charmingly-daft Bertie.
