I’ve been skimming over the discussions regarding the latest SMG4 episode, and I gotta say, it’s been an incredibly interesting read.

I think what made me so surprised seeing folks’ reaction to Meggy and SMG4’s argument were that so many folks were quick to jump on Meggy for comparing SMG3 and Bob to Puzzles.

And while they’re completely right to disagree with her and even argue against her points; I’d like to toss in my two cents and offer up the idea that the reason she did so was because they ended up redeeming themselves despite their crimes.

She’s not trying to justify the actions Puzzles did, or even “choosing” him— just trying to give him the opportunity to prove himself, much like Bob and SMG3 ended up doing.

Obviously comparing the severity of their crimes is one thing— but what makes their actions different than Puzzles’? What exactly makes them— the situation at hand, so different from Puzzles?

Puzzles probably the most complex villain we’ve seen thus far; with Meggy being the only one to see Puzzles for who he was when she went into his mindscape; the only one to see that depth after the events of the meme factory; and while that doesn’t justify his actions or what he put the crew through for years— it shines a light on just why Meggy is so insistent on doing this.

Both SMG4 and Meggy bring up good points regarding this entire situation, and as someone who’s loved writing the nuance and complexity behind this particular arc, it’s been very intriguing to watch these discussions unfold.

I dunno, that’s just my very rambly perspective from a fan— not as a writer, haha.

2: columbo is actually a cunning manipulative liar that hides his true persona behind the facade of a slow and clumsy middle class detective

Never getting over Fulcrum being a project manager...

Idk why, but something about that is so funny to me. Not just because the title of "project manager" is inherently kinda funny for a Decepticon, but also because-

1. It's vague sounding and hard to explain irl because it technically exists in multiple fields, like healthcare or manufacturing, which surely translates into canon in some way.

2. In canon, it's simultaneously a really mundane, innocuous sounding job, yet it's also a super morally awful position to reside over depending on the context. (*cough* forced colonization and cyberforming *cough*)

And 3. It solidifies the fact that behind all the surface level militaristic work we get with both the Decepticons and Autobots, there's also Cons and Bots with "normal" jobs in both factions.

Like, sure yeah we get scientists and doctors, engineers and programmers, but usually in big important or warfront positions. (For plot reasons, understandably.) But it's also really funny and interesting to think of those that worked background positions, or minor jobs.

Like an Autobot working in their equivalent of an HR department, or a Decepticon who runs one of their outpost's or starship's kitchens.

Just all the pre-war jobs that didn't just disappear with the war, but instead evolved to exist within the factions.

It's particularly funny with the Decepticons though, because it could be a super mundane job or situation, but because it's them, it has to have an air of ~e v i l~ to it, either legitimately and/or merely for the vibes, like Tarn's "performance reviews".

Okay fuck I've got more to say on the subject of how Wilson thinks House feels about him instead of just tag ranting (though I'll have to repeat some of that tag ranting) because holy shit my dudes.

As a basic premise, from the very start of the show, it is very clear to us the viewer that House has this best friend who is very, very important to him. That's just never a secret – House, who actively pushes everyone away, doesn't want to interact with patients, pretends he doesn't care about people, never tries to hide that he cares about Wilson. This is both towards Wilson himself and to other people – sure, maybe he doesn't come right out and say it, but it's so very clear in so many things he does and says.

Here's some scenes (very much from memory and out of chronological order, please bear with me) that highlight this very clearly:

After Vogler gets Wilson kicked off the board and Wilson accuses House of not thinking that their friendship (or Wilson's job) matters enough to him to give that speech. House started out making light of the situation, kind of twisting it into a joke, refusing to take accountability etc. but the moment Wilson says that, he immediately sobers and just straight up admits that no, actually, they do matter ° I remember being very surprised by this because this is only in S1 and I didn't expect House to be this sincere with Wilson ° Hell, the pilot had someone asking Wilson if House cared about him and Wilson was like "I don't know", so I took that as an indicator that House doesn't show he cares. But as it turns out, this is very much a Wilson problem, not a House problem!

The "You DOSED me!" conversation. 11/10 one of the most hilarious scenes in the show, but also! House is understandably upset that his best friend is depressed and he didn't know about it, but Wilson straight up tells him to stop acting hurt because he doesn't actually care. This is wild to me because everything in the way House talks suggest that he isn't just mad because he missed a puzzle piece, he genuinely wanted Wilson to tell him about this, but Wilson didn't trust him with it

Living together in Amber's apartment post-Mayfield. Wilson thinks he can't talk to House about his grief after Amber's death and prefers to talk to her instead of talking to House. Even when House directly offers/asks him to talk to him instead, Wilson outright rejects him and tells him that talking to him doesn't make him feel better but talking to her does. ° Amber is dead, she will not reply to him, yet Wilson considers this more of a comfort than anything House would offer him. Except, House is carrying so much guilt about Amber's death, I genuinely feel like he would've made an effort to be supportive in this instance ° In fact, at the start of S5 before Wilson leaves, House even says, "I know you're not [okay], but maybe I can help." and Wilson doesn't even acknowledge it (instead just proceeds to tell him that he should have been alone on that bus, good lord)

Two instances I clearly remember where they're arguing about things House genuinely seems insecure about in their friendship: ° When Wilson moves out of Grace's place and back into a hotel because he doesn't think it's a good idea to move back in with House, House asks him if they're okay despite all of it. His expression in that scene actually takes me out because he looks so sincere and the insecurity behind it is very badly hidden ° "Does it bother you that we don't have a social contract?" The fact that House feels the need to ask this and make sure that Wilson is fine with their dynamic speaks volumes imo

Honestly the entirety of the episode Wilson (S6E10). "If you die, I'm alone." All the trying to push Wilson to grow a spine and not let Tucker take advantage of him. Sitting by his bedside both as he wakes up from surgery and then again while he's recovering from the surgery. In fairness though, Wilson doesn't outright deny that House cares about him in this one.

During the roadtrip to House's dad's funeral. "And there's the foundation of our entire friendship. If you hadn't been bored one weekend, it wouldn't even exist." – "Hey, there were 3000 people at that convention. You're the one I thought wasn't boring." imagine being told that out of 3000 people there, the man who notoriously does not care about anything that doesn't intrigue him, picked you specifically to be his friend and has been obsessed with you ever since, and somehow rewriting that into a bad thing??? The way he says the "if you hadn't been bored" part sounds accusatory and kind of bitter, when that's just how friendships get formed sometimes? Wilson, what the hell are you on

The entirety of S8 following Wilson's cancer diagnosis is basically one huge declaration of love from House. But to be fair, I think by this point, even Wilson realizes that (...mostly, even though he still somehow interprets it as a "House needs me so he doesn't want to lose me" kind of thing instead of just fucking accepting that maybe the man just loves* him and that's why he doesn't want to lose him, god) *love being used non-romantically here, even without Hilson goggles on, they just undeniably love each other, however you choose to interpret it

All of this just makes me wonder what the hell Wilson's got wrong with him that leave him so completely and utterly unable to fathom that House could possibly care about him, despite the fact that House very explicitly shows him over and over. Wilson is usually so good at reading House and figuring him out, just not when it comes to himself, apparently. Dude has some serious issues and I am so very intrigued by it <3

their bangs cover their eyes.

this wasn't unusual at all. from what she's gathered, it started out enforced by their bio parents because their eyes were creepy, but they kept doing it after. maybe it had nothing to do with their bio parents, maybe they just want to be a moody goth. noelle understands the impulse.

but the way the hair lay on their face is something she thought about often. in a less weird way than it sounds, she swears. it's just... people don't usually let their hair cover their face to that degree, so the physics of it is interesting to her.

most of the time it rests on their cheekbones. it sits there, aided by gravity. they're looking up a lot, since most monsters are taller than them, and the slouch definitely doesn't help.

what intrigues her is when they look down.

then the hair is floating free. the curtain swings of its own volition. she used to see it a lot as a kid, when they'd play that piano, but they. don't do that much anymore. lately the only time she sees them actually looking down is when they walk and when they sleep at school, since ms. alphys doesn't do worksheets.

their hair is thinner when they look down. sometimes she sees their eyes.

shards of crimson peeking through a field of hickory. usually flicking about, reading sheet music or just being attentive as always. theyre so vibrant. she didn't think eyes came that bright, especially not red ones.

they were always kind of creepy, and they embraced this fact. they only really showed their eyes to freak people out, and it almost always worked, on everybody but her. she can't see those eyes as scary anymore, not after she's gotten to know them. only kind, anxious, sassy, mischievous. never actually scary.

it's been nice, hanging out with them again. she didn't realize just how much she missed it. she lost many things that day, but this is one she can get back.

she could go without the mice though.

there's... a button. stepping on it seems to release mice. that's. fine! everything is fine! she will just! stay far, far away!

clearly there's a puzzle to be solved. she'd do it, but she really doesn't trust kris not to release the mice as she moved the boxes.

kris... isn't solving it, though. they're moving to to leave. without her.

"H-hey, Kris? You can't leave yet, y'know! You need to deal with the mice, first. You can do it, Kris! I believe in you!" D-don't leave me behind!

they turn back briefly, then start back toward the exit.

"Kris, you, um... aren't gonna leave me here, are you? Th-think about all the p-pencils I gave you! The... the peppermint cookies I shared with you!"

they don't even give her the courtesy of looking back this time before they stride confidently forward. this is a weird prank; usually they won't keep going if she actually seems upset. their shenanigans are usually just... trying to make people laugh and cringe at the same time. she's doing both now, but the laughing is nervous, and she knows they can tell.

...unless they can't.

it's been, what, six years? seven? they barely talk to each other anymore. maybe they don't see through her mask anymore. ...maybe they do want to make her upset.

"..."

they tilt their head back at her.

"I'll do your homework for you."

if she must.

they try walking again, and, honestly, if that didn't do it, then she doesn't know what would. maybe because they don't have homework right know, with the group project.

"Kris? Are... you really going to leave me...?"

there's a poignant pause.

and then they open their mouth.

that's... not shocking, they've been talking all throughout this—this adventure, noelle supposes, but never if there's a nonverbal alternative. what's weird is that they're talking when they don't have to.

what's even stranger, though, is they say "Proceed."

she wouldn't act like that's not in their normal vocabulary, it seems like something they'd say, but it's whispered yet yelled in this strange tone. it doesn't sound like them. and they wouldn't say something like that here, anyway; they'd say "no, i'm going ahead, you stay here" or "i'll be back in a moment" or "sorry, i'll do the puzzle". not "proceed".

"... h-huh? What did you say? B-but, th... the mice..." surely they must have noticed by now that she's distressed.

"Proceed."

she sees their eyes now, even though they're looking up at her. the locs are thin enough she can see through them.

and...

why do they look scared?

"... I... I..."

they pierce through her, like they're trying to convey more than just their words. she wouldn't know what, though. just... intensity.

"..."

she bites her lip. do they? do they want her to? she doesn't—this is a really weird prank. they're saying proceed like they want her to come with them, but they know, they have to know...

alright. they're testing her, then. maybe she can just... bolt. and hope they don't jump out at her. maybe they're planning to jumpscare her. can't scare her if she closes her eyes and covers her ears!

she sprints over and stops on the button. the mice squeak at her, and she cringes. they got that reaction they wanted. she lets out a sigh. We'd better not have to do something like that again...

they're still looking at her. with those terrifying, terrifying eyes.

she walks up next to them, and they turn forward.

Seriously, when did Kris get so bossy?

they walk. she follows.

they proceed.
