#mr. best

Victoria Best is a tragic character.

From the first episode with her, you can see that Victoria has a bad upbringing with her terrible parents.

They motivate her to do evil, and it's implied that they could control her as well. As soon as she fails a competition, she feels pressured to keep her "eyes on the prize".

Unlike Claire who actually loves Tobey despite not understanding him completely-

-those two do not love Victoria and Victor and puts an unnecessarily amount of pressure on both of them, building resentment and sibling rivalry that is unhealthy and quite frankly even more tragic because they both feel like they have to live up to higher than life expectations and likely receive worse punishments as a result of it, added onto the neglect. It's possible that it'll get worse as they get older.

You can hardly even see any form of familial love outside of when Victoria actually accomplishes something. Notice how Claire was happy that Tobey was back in the earlier photo. That's a sign that she does love him dearly and don't care about him being successful or unsuccessful. As long as he tries his best. Victoria and her parents have no bond whatsoever, outside of her meeting their sick expectations.

She's a paradox of Becky in a way. Same for Victor and TJ. Whereas Tim Botsford and Sally Botsford make numerous mistakes and treat Becky wrongly in the series multiple times, I have no doubt in my mind that they do love both of her children deeply and want the best for both of them.

I don't like the idea of Victoria being depicted as heartless and evil. She's just as redeemable as Tobey if not even more so because she has more of a moral compass and never went as far as he did. She's behind Two Brains in terms of tragic. Yes, I can acknowledge Tobey has tragic elements with the lack of fatherhood but at least he has one parent who cares about him.

Victoria has none of that.

And even when faced with the choice to do something evil and immoral by Two Brains, she couldn't do it.

Victoria's not a bad person. Victor isn't either. I think both is confused, conflicted, and wanted validation from the wrong places. Hopefully, both eventually broke free from their parents' control and do bigger and better as they got older.

Fanfics exist after all!

Sentient Mystery Shack, who is really biased towards Stan, so when Ford tells Stan he has to give it back after the summer it’s on sight.

Ford keeps tripping over nothing, nothing is where it's supposed to be and somehow he keeps running into closets when he tries to go outside.

But the worst part, the WORST part is that Ford's lightbulb just won't. Work. No matter what he does it keeps flickering and exploding.

Ford is spiraling. 

There is no reason why it shoudln’t work. All his trial runs work perfectly. He’s already checked the Shacks wiring three times and relearned this dimensions science from the ground up. 

Nothing works.

The Rift? Bill? The impending apocalypse? Eating? Sleep? Who cares about that. 

WHY. WONT. THE. LIGHTBULB. WORK???

It doesn’t help that Stan keeps laughing at him.

“Then you do it!” Ford eventually snaps at Stan.

Stan shrugs and with a little song under his breath screws his own lightbulb in. It works perfectly.

Stanford screams.

Danny knew that this job was too good to be either true or not illegal.

But fucking hell does it pay well.

So he was only a little ashamed with himself as he stands between Batman and one Mr. Freeze.

He knew why he was hired, the look Victor gave him when they did the first interview was enough for Danny to know that the mad scientist knew a little too much about his powers.

He had wanted to just say fuck it and dip, but then Victor told Danny about Nora...and we'll if that didn't get him on the man's side then the fat wad of cash was the real closer.

(He was a poor law school student with more debt than even Sam's credit card was allowed to clear, how can he say no to 1k an hour?)

One thing lead to another, and it seemed that Danny was a willing accomplice to Freezes plan

Which might now include tearing a hole in dimensions to get to the Far Frozen because a certain yeti doctor knows a fuck ton about the disease that Nora is suffering from.

Now if only Batman would stay down long enough for Danny to explain all of this...

Here's the comic I made for War Never Changes, a Fallout charity zine that's still available to puchase digitally here: link.

The captions are lyrics from Autopsy Garland by the Mountain Goats. I've been dreaming of making this for literal Years, and the mods for the zine let me do it for them! I'm still pretty proud of it, and only regret that I completely forgot to replace Col. Hsu with General Lee Oliver in the final. Sorry man.
