"one... one second guys...." words trail off as his hands come up to lift the headset off of himself, caught off-guard by someone trying to get his attention. great, must have been another 'good night' for his roommate with the way their girlfriend stands at the threshold of his door with a semi-transparent top and shorts so short, it leaves nothing to the imagination. "s-sorry, did you need something?" it takes every bit of self-control for eyes not to wander, knowing that it would ruin every effort he's made so far burying his feelings deep beneath the surface.

I'm gonna post this twitter thread in the main tags because I think it explains everything of concern with the new game pretty thoroughly! I see a lot of people freaking out (I also did at first because of what I heard)

old information we have about Henry and William and the animatronics is basically untouched, they still made most everything, the new game just adds extra context and information to what was going on back when fazbear entertainment was getting off the ground. it makes sense for henry & william to not have made literally every single animatronic since fazbear ent. is a big chain of locations, but that doesn't mean they weren't responsible for plenty of stuff on their own still

"don't do? are you... sure? does resetting actually include me dislocating it or will i have to do it if the fracture remains?" they're all questions she could probably answer but not worth wasting her breath over either. he won't do it and the fact that he's got to put up with it for work to begin with is reason enough not to do anything too stupid. granted, how he got it in the first place falls right under that category. william is hardly a repeat offender though. another solemn little 'x' that marks the spot over his heart and he gives her one good nod. "you have my word - again. i... yeah. i'll maybe text you in a bit to see how you're doing. thanks again."

"you said you'd take the sticker!" harin points out, which is why she doesn't think claiming such a thing as being a good idea. she also decides against confirming whether or not william is good company. he has been but she's a person of few words when it comes to that sort of thing. she's almost reluctant to let him pay but ends up not having much of a choice and with it being a date and all, allows it. "yeah, exactly," she nods once they're stood outside, "i'm not likely to be needed unless they don't think it's healing right or maybe you do something stupid and bump it. which, don't do. be careful. it's a bitch to have to reset an arm, so i hear." offers a rather wiry smile, definitely doesn't want him to have to go through that. "you have my number, though... if you need it."

Agatha All Along commentary (minor ep 7 spoilers)

- Billy doesn't know Wanda. Didn't even know that she had kids until the night before he met Agatha

- Billy has spent the last three years being loved for by supportive parents

- This is SO EARLY in character development GIVE IT TIME

- This is as CLOSE to a comic accurate story/portrayal as we are going to get with the MCU

Let Billy have his own story without it being based on his mom.

i've noticed that some frankenstein adaptions that include walton (the only good ones ☝️🤓) choose to depict him as a naval officer (aesthetically, at the very least — one of my favourite examples is in the 2018 manchester royal exchange theatre production because well. LOOK AT HIM)

this phenomena is so interesting to me because he is explicitly Not that, textually

on one hand i get it because the correlation between polar exploration and the navy especially during the 18th and 19th centuries is there and makes sense; it’s an easy connection to make if you just want walton “on screen” and a visual short hand for the reason behind the type of journey he’s making (i.e. discovery service expedition to the arctic sent by the admiralty) without any real exploration of his character and the inner thoughts that he communicates to margaret (and ultimately the reader) through his letters

but walton himself makes the claim very early in his narrative that his voyage is entirely independent, and that he basically funded the entire thing himself (with a little help from his cousin, whoever they are/were). most importantly, because he was prohibited from going to sea as a boy by his father, he served on whaling ships for years to train himself mentally and physically:

Six years have passed since I resolved on my present undertaking. I can, even now, remember the hour from which I dedicated myself to this great enterprise. I commenced by inuring my body to hardship. I accompanied the whale-fishers on several expeditions to the North Sea; I voluntarily endured cold, famine, thirst, and want of sleep; I often worked harder than the common sailors during the day and devoted my nights to the study of mathematics, the theory of medicine, and those branches of physical science from which a naval adventurer might derive the greatest practical advantage. Twice I actually hired myself as an under-mate in a Greenland whaler, and acquitted myself to admiration. I must own I felt a little proud when my captain offered me the second dignity in the vessel and entreated me to remain with the greatest earnestness, so valuable did he consider my services.

his voyage is motivated not by any sort of command from above by lifelong ambition and self-interest. he considers what he can contribute to science and maritime navigation, which, granted, serves his country as much as it serves him; but to me it is primarily his passion for the sublime beauty that the arctic represents, even if the reality is much more dangerous than he could have predicted, that drives him forward. he needs to see it for himself, to know that he can do it, no matter the cost (sound like someone else we know?)

if i had to draw a comparison between walton and any real-life polar explorer from around the time frankenstein was written it would be william scoresby, an english scientist who began his own career on whaling ships (ironically he thought the open polar sea theory that walton espouses was complete bs — and he was right, lmao)

janice cavell’s article ‘The Sea of Ice and the Icy Sea: The Arctic Frame of Frankenstein’ has a lot more to say on this topic and i’d highly recommend it but i just have to include this extract here because i was so delighted to learn about some of the real people who likely inspired walton in shelley’s mind:

Here, then, was material for both the Creature's journey and Walton's doomed mission. Moreover, here Mary found a surname for her Arctic captain in the list of officers who served under Vitus Bering in 1733-41: Peter Lassenius, William Walton, Dmitri Laptiew, Jego Jendauro, Dmitri Owzin, Swen Waxel, Wasili Prontischischtschew, Michailo Plautin, and Alexander Scheltinga. Walton, the sole Englishman on this list of exotically named foreigners, was in command of the Hope (Müller, 1761:15, 26; on William Walton, see Cross, 2007:177-178). The ship's name reflects the most prominent characteristic of the fictional Walton, whose first name, Robert, may have been taken from Robert Thorne, the 16th-century originator of the open polar sea theory. Even though Walton's theories about the Arctic are opposed to Scoresby's, Mary may have intended to acknowledge Scoresby's status as both a whaler and a man of science when she had Walton train himself for his chosen career through whaling voyages.

like! the Real Walton’s ship being named the Hope and “the ship’s name reflects the most prominent characteristic of the fictional Walton” ohhhh i am NOT going to cry don’t LOOK at me

anyway this post doesn’t really have much of a point. i guess tl;dr i just think it’s more interesting that walton is canonically just some overly ambitious guy with big dreams and more money than he knows what to do with who is willing to hang out on gross whaling ships for half a decade rather than pursue the more respectable maritime profession because he wants what he wants on his own terms and no one else’s

"w-wait, hold -" the shadow walking past his room grabs his attention, immediately pulling him away from the game he was playing on his pc. hands come up to nearly yank the headset off of him and he heaves a sigh that's unfortunately just audible to himself. "you realize that just because i've got headphones on does not mean i'm suddenly blind, right?" william attempts to call out, unsure if she can even hear him now.

In Another Life idea/snippet/word vomit

Toto’s name is being shouted across the garage, George’s trainer coming over with concerned look on his face. He’s been in this sport long enough to know there is something wrong with his driver, and knowing George, it’s something he shouldn’t have done.

“George is heading to the hospital.”

Fucking George, Toto thinks, trying to keep his expression from faltering. They had Qualifying in a few hours and George would have tried to make it, would have strong-armed his way into getting into the car if he could get away with it.

“With what?” He asks instead, truly worried for George, but also now mentally scrambling for who he was going to put in the car now. Kimi? Still too young and inexperienced in an F1 car. The Williams drivers? Who would they substitute with? There’s no way Toto is giving them Fred.

“Appendicitis.”

Toto resists the urge to face palm. What is it with drivers and appendicitis? The chatter around him grows silent as cheering erupts from outside, the faint sound of someone winning the F2 sprint race.

Curiosity spikes in him as some of the mechanics shake hands, grins wide on their faces. He leans over, the screens playing a replay of a blue car soaring past the checkered flag.

Logan Sargeant is the graphic that pops up, won from P16. He doesn’t have time to read the rest of the stats, not when James is in front of him somehow, Mick and Alex’s name on the tip of his tongue.

“What about your F2 driver?” Toto asks, cutting off James before he goes on a tangent about Mick’s and Alex’s performance; they’re good, Toto knows that, but his interest has been piqued by the American driver.

“Logan? He’s not ready.” James says immediately, “No, you have to go with either Alex or Mick.���

“Have? I don’t have to do anything you say James,” Toto reminds him, “Tell the kid I want to met him, he has potential, Vowles, look at him.” He motions to the screen that is showing another replay of Logan doing an easy overtake on one of the Campos drivers before forcing a Prema driver to yield.

Multiple emotions cross James’ face before he huffs, turning in his heel and storming out of the garage, pulling off the headset as he goes.

“He’s second in the championship by the way,” George’s trainer says, “If there was anyone to substitute George, he would want Logan to be the one.”

alright that’s all ya girl has got, this scene popped up on me while i was at work so enjoy it 😚
