I genuinely believe that the core difference between Dan and Herbert and the reason people like one but hate the other is the fact that Dan is good at masking.
Like OK mister got a great academic record, a perfect girlfriend, a nice house and even some killer looks in the second movie. I mean, it's fine if someone thinks it's actually something a person achieves by just living their normal life. But to me it seems like overcompensation of sorts. Like he feels he HAS to be this perfect version of himself to be accepted. Also may be why he can't give up even when the patient can't be saved. He can't mess up. Even if there's nothing he can do he must try until they take him out of the ward by force.
His only flaw is his passion and that is the main thing he has in common with Herbert. That is the reason he chooses to stay with Herbert over and over again.
Because Herbert got nothing but passion. He doesn't care for anything but his work. Hence why he doesn't have even the appearance of normality to be socially accepted. Surely he is intelligent enough not to piss off his superiors with his petty behavior. But he does so anyway. Because he doesn't care what they may think. Because it doesn't matter if he pretends to be 'normal'. All pretence shall be uncovered one day and the people will turn their backs on him once they see under the mask.
And you know who this scenario happened to? Daniel picture perfect Cain. The moment he took that risk to join something that fascinated him, the moment he agreed to something because it actually spoke to him, he was abandoned by the very people who promised him a bright great future.
And also because there was some old pervert with a spooky hypnosis power. But like. Neurodivergence was also there. Probably.

Ophelia coded but in a mad beautiful young woman who terrorizes the elites with her tantrums way. Not in a killed herself because of some evil angsty twink way.

It's OK now I managed. But for the love of GOD I didn't want to call someone at 10AM on the closest thing I have to a day-off. And then receive extremely passive-agressive responses after being ignored for three days. And THEN panic because I am never sure with this corporate ass slang we are forced to use if everything is sorted out and fine at last.
But yeah. Stay mad.
I don't understand how in the world of progress and digitalization I still have to go talk to important and unpleasant people in person and then have to CALL some more important and unpleasant people on top of that. And it's not like causal things of no importance I need these people for. I need something IMPORTANT from these people and I need them to get in my shoes and I NEED them to take my side when it's super easy for them to just flip me off or something.
And also why the hell can't everything be done in ONE day? My Love it's 3PM I assure you nobody will die if I call them DURING THEIR FUCKING WORKING HOURS WHEN THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE CALLED. Why would I want to call them later and lose 24 hours of my life on it? And I wouldn't even freak out about it if it weren't a time-sensitive problem I'm trying to solve. This environment isn't even trying to be neurodivergence/mental disorders friendly.
And also giving me a mental break down during lesbian visibility day of the pride??? So homophobic.

I like how Bryony doesn't believe Porlock is his real name. She would rather call Holy Colonel John Breakfast by his full name than stop making jokes about the herbal remedy guy over there.

Herbert West wanted Daniel Cain to stay with him so bad he put up a creature who's only purpose was to love Dan. The creature who could do nothing else but love Dan. The creature who torn herself apart because Dan didn't love her back.
I fear gay people back in the day were just built different. Now it's all casual dating and therapy🙄🙄🙄

It took me too long to realize that what Warren listened to in Gordon's cryosuit wasn't only the WYWH stuff. He also listened to the tapes from up to at least Premium Dead Forever. And I feel very stupid because he even REFERENCED these tapes to Bryony.
So we know for sure that he listened to Gordon cutting open the Yoghurt Lord. So. Uhm. Nice to know he is still acting normal around him I guess.
Also I'm curious if he listened to Grace calling Gordon Igor. He probably wouldn't call him out on it, since Grace's redemption arc, but I'm still curious. And also still a little bit pissed at Grace for that whole scene.
Still don't know why it took me so long to figure out the most obvious thing ever though.

I gave up the Magnus protocol after like two episodes because I couldn't hear shit.
I stayed strong when they got the clown dude. I stayed strong when they got Needles (they're called Needles right?). But then they got A GERMAN GRANDPA? OPA EVEN???
Unbearable. Absolutely unbearable. I'm honestly very close to giving it another shot just for the Opa with a funny name. But I don't have enough time because I suck at making important life decisions and instead of listening to cryptic German dude I must go to University and learn some actual German language.
#unfair shit#tmagp#i mean i love the language#but i also kind of liked being happy and rested#and i guess having free time was also pretty cool

Really appreciate how with Gordon, Warren's usually like "haha you creepy weirdo, let's go play videogames" and with anyone else that asks or not he's like "I literally care about nothing else aside from Gordon, if he doesn't make it I might kill everyone and then myself tbh"
#i wonder if the brigadoon fans were disappointed with his awkward pathetic swag#<- op tag#red valley
