Or any true detective fics I feel u bb. Did you get a homoerotic vibe from the rust and ginger scenes or was that just me?

yeaaaah, I did get the vibes, but who isn't a little homoerotic about Rust?

Tho I'm thinking of some tags I read on that gifset with Ginger grabbing his crouch

this isn’t actually funny though? #that’s sexual assault he’s sexually assaulting him and look at rust’s face #that’s not just b/c it hurts it’s b/c he can’t stand to be touched #and he’s being touched in a totally invasive and intimate way by someone he’s afraid of #look at the way his arm goes out and goes limp and flat #this was assault and the show knew this was assault and that’s really important #this is a visual representation of rust cohle being treated like meat #the meat he’s long assumed he is b/c the world told him so

Think it's a pretty good interpretation of that scene, Ginger was basically trying to emasculate him, to objectify him. Shit, I'm so glad Rust got to punch the shit outta him at the end of the episode.

Jumping from one thing to another~ I READ WHITE KNIGHT ON AO3. YOU ARE INCREDIBLE ♥ Seriously gal, I mean, it's like straight out of Pizzolatto script, in terms of being in character and having the same freaking plot rhythm. Just...never...stop...writing ಥ⌣ಥ

i honestly think yeah we're supposed to at least suspect him - did you see that moment in ep 3 where both detectives pretty obviously leave him in the room with the file just sitting on the table like they want to see if he peeks at it? i just feel like they're playin' him and marty in 2012, which suggests the modern detectives think rust and marty may have some kind of role in the 2012 murders, or some kind of secret knowledge. I feel like it would just be lazy to make it rust though.

It would be lazy; I would not like it.  I think you're right the detectives obvs. suspect some sort of involvement with it--they ask marty about rust's "process," etc.  

both of them obviously know more than they're telling about the 2012 ones though i'm excited to see what.

how great are the actors though their characters are both simultaneously awful and endearing.

yeah, i like rust because he's actually respectful of women. he's not a cheeky womanizer and he has the least amount of swagger i have ever seen - though of course i love the rust walk! hart seems to consider women only as sexual objects and property. your point is well taken - i didn't realize how well he subverts the trope of the asshole cop who knows he's an asshole.

right?  i think (again, only 2 episodes in, so who knows) that rust is set up to be the ~loose cannon genius~ type we see in so many mysteries and cop dramas, whose status enables him to walk all over people, especially women, with impunity.  but even though he’s socially awkward, occasionally rude, and not always totally By The Book, thus far he’s been pretty respectful of those he doesn’t find to be morally repugnant or just making a political grab.  he genuinely tries with hart’s family, even though he’s drunk and depressed about his daughter.  he doesn’t use those things as a reason to be a jerk. he also is pretty respectful toward the sex workers he questions, doesn’t make any lewd or suggestive comments, doesn’t treat them as less-than for their work.  i guess it’s also important that while he has some insight into the murderer’s motives and psychology, he isn’t shown to be heavily identifying with the murderer or anything creepy like that.  there’s no cheap attempt to show his ~dark side~, just a genuine exploration of his own psychological and emotional issues.

meanwhile, hart is a fairly straightforward jerk who nevertheless knows when not to talk back.  i don’t think he’s necessarily evil or anything, i think he has good qualities, but in particular the way he seems to willing to delude himself into thinking everything he does is for the good of his family and how his family (esp his wife) just can’t understand all that he goes through and how he’s so heroic and long-suffering is a serious red flag.

zoundss replied to your post: Just watched Fruitvale Station. That movie was... Ugh I need to see so many movies; I heard this was great too :) It was great. I understand now why people thought Michael B. Jordan, and the movie, should have gotten nominated this awards season. The last thirty minutes I couldn't tear my eyes away. It's heartbreaking, but done so well. So, when you get the chance I highly recommend you watch it.

i'd say td is a mix between the two extremes you mentioned. imo the murder is eh, but the way the story is told, with the layers of time and the messing with traditional continuity, is extraordinary. rust and hart are conventional mismatched cops, but rust has got a pretty unconventional story. the writing (again imo) is mostly amazing, but it's really elevated by mcconaughey's acting. i wish there were more developed female/poc characters, but perhaps next season!

yeah, i dont fucks with "perhaps next season", lol. it's not my style. and it's tiring because i hear that excuse every single time a show fails in that department. i'm a human being; not an afterthought. 

but yeah, ITA with everything else.

the murderer is leaving signs everywhere but they havent caught him yet. and then flash forward and the fact that this murder is BACK?! who did they catch? were they wrong? did the killer have a prodigy? why arent the detectives friends anymore? what sent cohl on his ultimate downward spiral? etc.

i REALLY cant wait for shit to hit the fan but i am perfectly fine with where they r right now and that's a sign of excellent writing. that they can lead the audience and not get a peep of complaint out of me, lol the pacing is EXCELLENT. so nuanced---so GOOD.

and i am FLOORED by matthew's acting but i think the comic relief in woody's acting is great and NECESSARY. i think it's easy to overlook his character because he's so firmly grounded in reality but i think the juxtaposition between his character's life and the lack of his partner's is what makes shit so great.

fuck it, i love this show. it does almost everything that i believe makes great television. i guess resistance is futile on my part.
