TRIAL & ERROR (2017 - 2018) S01E01: Pilot

"We need to come up with a plausible story of what could have happened based on the evidence. So, let's go, fire away. No such thing as a stupid suggestion."

Ignore the dogshit quality of these ss. This has to be objectively one of the best looks of the entire show. My GOD is she one dashing woman.

Everything about it is perfect. The suit is beautifully tailored to her and the color goes so well with her makeup layout. That neckline plus the touches of gold are so damn sexy. It’s as simple as an outfit can be but something about a single line of dark color just oozes elegance. I think subtlety and attention to details really makes it special.

Hi again!!! 🍠 anon! (At some point I’ll use my account but for now, this does)

I have to write this in my notes app because I’m trying to keep your list of potentials open so I can keep track of my mental breakdown of them (and over them, tbh). Because I wasn’t going to say anything, but then you went and made five of them possible. So! Now I have to try and at least make a guess.

The first three: if I had to pick one of these it would be the Ranchers kiss in chapter 9, because these characters delight in torturing us. That being said! I can see all three happening, because the kiss in chapter 6 could happen only in a dream. I feel it’s unlikely though, not impossible.

Etho choosing Jimmy? In a general context, I don’t think this is going to happen. Now, there are a few scenarios I can imagine it happening in, but they are very specific and if they happen, Tango’s cooked in other ways, the poor man.

Jimmy has a massive secret he never tells Tango: I think this one is absolutely true. No explanation on this one, just vibes.

Etho and Tango talk about Brown eyes (tm): I sincerely hope this happens, if not in the story in a short one shot. I can see this conversation happening in so many different contexts, especially a late night in the lab, and just lying on the floor with their fries.

Joel POV: Possible? But I don’t think it’s all that likely. You like surprising us, so it could happen! And if it did, you would use it for the maximum possible angst, taking us away from the Rancher’s heads at the point when we want most to see what they are thinking or understanding.

Grian tells Jimmy to use protection: Eh. I’m on the fence. Is it likely? Yeah. Do I think some of these others are more likely? Yep. Do I think this carries a lot of potential as an olive branch from Grian to Jimmy showing that he’s accepted their relationship? Yes.

Hand holding only in chapter (I’m assuming chapter 5 because 4 is posted already)? Hmmmm.

Gem: Odds are very high, because she might know Jimmy’s birthday, but I don’t think this is one of the five. Again, vibes, and Grian. (If you think I have the story pulled up and am cross referencing to make sure I can remember who knows what, you would be entirely correct.)

Scar: again, wouldn’t be surprised, but it’s not on my short list. (Then again, interior designer? Swindle? I’m going to hit more than five really fast.)

The hitting: Grian hitting Tango? Very, very likely. Probably heat of the moment, “you’ve been doing what with my brother” angry. Tango hitting Joel? Oh, I don’t know. Gut instinct was no. But like so many of these, I can see a future where Joel does something thinking it is in Jimmy’s best interest, but it either hurts Jimmy or separates Tango and Jimmy, in which case? Yeah, he is gonna get hit.

Scar leverage: I feel that this one is weirdly likely? Can’t explain, per se, but the way he slots into the family, makes me feel like he would either to reconcile Grian and Jimmy, or and honestly this one is more likely in my head, leverage Jimmy to break up with Tango for Grian’s peace of mind. Which, that wouldn’t end well.

Zedaph: no. I don’t think so, or if it does Zed will have his reasons.

Jevin: I don’t think he gets mentioned at all, until Etho’s tale.

Pearl: I hope this is wrong, because I so badly want to see here. So I’m going to hope no.

MOE: 1, I’m hoping against hope is true. 2, hoping against hope it’s false. 3, voted most likely to be happening.

Scar better parent than Grian: Mm nah. Not buying. He’d think he was, but we’ve seen no proof either way.

Jimmy tells Tango first? I…I can’t tell. The thing is, it’s plausible, but also, Jimmy is so repressive of his emotions, but also, Tango feels like he’s being very cautious with his words.

Tango waiting: highly highly probable. He’s already in deep, but he doesn’t want Jimmy to make a mistake/wreck his relationship with Grian. Conversely, there is absolutely no waiting.

Tango will definitely introduce Etho and Zedaph? The real question is if we get to see it.

Jimmy is absolutely lying about his birthday to his friends. The question is really, how is he lying? (Yeah, I’m way over giving the five “this is happening” shhhh it’s all fine). I feel like Tango will get Jimmy something for his birthday, he just might not give it on his birthday.

Ranchers New Year kiss? I would die happy. Which means, probably not happening in MOE.

Etho’s advice: no. Like, that moment already passed in Chapter 4. If Etho’s been in his situationship for fifteen years and he hasn’t already told Tango to give up, I don’t think that advice will change. I mean, it’s there, but I think Etho knows Tango well enough not to give it.

Scott and Martyn? Ooo we don’t know them well enough in MOE to guess, but…I’m going to guess they do give this advice.

Oh wow that’s long! Sorry! I had to go back and chew on some of the characters a bit. All of these possibilities are varying degrees of beautiful, and most of them seem plausible. I can’t even make a short list because there are so many I hope are correct.

SWEETPOTATO ANON!!!!!!! Oh my lord, the way I was making grabby hands at my screen when I saw this...

Your analysis of the characters and the story is INSANE. You have a lot of their personalities and manerisms down, I love it. I obviously cannot confirm nor deny if your predictions are true, but I am very very very very proud of them.

Laughing so hard at the New Years kiss prediction. Am I really that evil? I've given them nothing but fluff so far! I DID mean chapter four in the hand holding one. They hold hands in chapter four for the first time. Could be last, idk we'll have to see how the chapters line up. Please note the kiss ones! One says they don't kiss UNTIL chapter nine. the other says they kiss in chapter six (but not that chapter six is their first kiss) Please consider this... :D

I tried very hard to make them all sound plausible, because they all should be. I want to tell yall right now whats true and whats not but I'll be good and wait. The chaos effects me too...

I ENGLISH TEACHERED TOO CLOSE TO THE SUN GUYS. YOU ALL HAVE TAKEN SUCH CARE TO LOOK AT THE STORY AND I AM SO PROUD OF YOU AND HAPPY YOU LIKE THE STORY ENOUGH TO TREAT IT LIKE A BOOK IN CLASS AHH!! My socks are blown off. Now that I know most of the story, it's CRAZY seeing everyones predictions of what will happen. I often forget that you guys only have crumbs of things. You're right about not having enough information to look at Scar's character, because I have him in more scenes later but yall don't have those yet. I planned this list to hold scenes that will/won't happen until much later chapters, to keep you guys thinking about it in the long term. Think of this list as like, discussion questions. It will keep coming back for a while, proving quickly what is right and what was close but not quite, and what was wrong.

Thank you so much for sending this Sweetpotato, this means the world to me. I sent this to Kit and screamed about it in DM's. I LOVE this. Watching you all make predictions and pull the story (that you have) apart is one of my favorite things, I have never been so proud of something before. You all make me feel so warm and happy. Thank you for making this writing/creating process so much fun.

not gonna lie, if there's anything that posting about hong kong actors on threads has taught me, it's that there are always more people in this world who are into rpf than you think there are

[flowerakatsuka]

gonna post karamatsu's walking sprites from the tuxedo set, too, bc he looks very hamsome to me...

also, kara's boutonnière and this set referencing the valentine's day skit reminded me that the first valentine's day gift kuroba gives him is a preserved blue rose they made.

sam comments that john can ‘barely work a toaster’ and processing That. is this implying john Never knew how to work a toaster? pre-hunter era john is just inept at kitchen duties? or are we saying. that post mary’s death, all these domesticated aspects of john burned up in that fire, effectively damaging him for home life?

The forces of E.V.I.L. invade a shopping mall!

God, I just love drawing the goofs being silly, it’s like putting them in their natural habitat lmao

Eclipses design is still a wip, hence the full body elf costume, but I’m liking where he’s going so far!

I can’t wait to share more about these guys, I think I’m going to make an ask blog about them once the main fellas’ designs are finished! (So far the only ones left are Eclipse and The Boss, Ehehe)

[ID: A Magma drawing of Solar Flare, Bloodmoon and Eclipse from the Working for E.V.I.L. Au running through a shopping mall with stolen presents and Christmas decor. Bloodmoon is located on the far right, he is a red animatronic wearing a twin tailed jester hat covered in snowflakes, multiple belts, a ripped sleeveless shirt, devil horns and a long split tongue. He tilts his head back with a close-eyed, devilish smile as he squeezes a piping bag of icing straight into his mouth, he holds a present beneath his arms. In the middle is Solar Flare, a boxy orange and yellow robot with triangular shoulder pads and bent sun-like rays. They wear a set of deer antlers on a headband, as well as a small red nose. In their arms is a stack of wrapped presents that tip over. Their expression is blank, but they keep their eyes on the toppling over stack. To the far left is Eclipse, an orange and brown animatronic with small, thin rays placed between his larger ones. He wears a green and red elf costume, a black turtleneck sweater beneath, and a necklace that holds a star pendant. He looks horrified, as sweat drips down his face, he carries a large brown sack over his shoulder. Each character is outlined in white, in the background is a large Christmas tree and a visible second layer of the mall, with large display windows lining it. /End ID]
