if i was 26 and had just woken up from a 70 year suicide-induced coma with no one in the present remembering who i am and instead conflating me with the ever changing image of the role i played in ww2 that now serves as american propaganda and 2 weeks ago i was watching guys get half of their faces blown off and a week after that the love of my life fell off of a moving train with me only being able to watch and then i had to like... deal with a billionaire nepo baby war profiteer calling me an old man and saying there's nothing special about me i would have started killing people. but unfortunately it happened to steve rogers. and he has, like, morals. so

With the way Evan killed Boudicca, it really stands out to me that there was no brutality.

She didn't suffer. By the time she could have processed him breaking his wand, she was already dead. And this after she violently attacked K in a way that would leave K in pain for weeks or months if she can't get healing, and could have even killed K.

There was even some kindness in how he described it. A janitor turning off the lights in a building, that's just someone doing a caretaking job. That's something that Evan, as a janitor in Gowpenny, probably did often and with genuine affection. He also described it as someone turning off the lights in their home for the night, and there's even more affection in that, especially for a man who was homeless for a lot of his childhood.

Not that Evan had any affection for Boudicca, but when he started his description I imagined someone throwing the breakers in a building, cutting off power with one quick gesture. That's something you'd do in an emergency, or if you had to do repairs, or even if you were a criminal. He could have imagined it like a power surge overwhelming everything. He could have even gone smaller, and imagined attacking the part of her brain that controls her breathing or heartbeat and made her actually experience her death. Evan is smart, he would know exactly where that's located.

But he didn't. He killed her instantaneously, so there was no suffering, and he conjured an image of gentleness while he did it. He'll have to reckon with the fact that he killed someone, but I hope his friends recognize that he didn't do it for vengeance even though he has plenty to be vengeful about.

Oh, this season just got even darker somehow...

So while, "What should I tell your family," might still be the coldest thing Evan Kelmp has ever said, Brennan's description of how Evan kills Philtrum is one of the most chilling things I've ever heard and is the *hardest* thing we've ever gotten fron Evan. Do not harm the loved ones of Evan Kelmp.

I think theres something really interesting with the opening episode of season 2 of Misfits and Magic. Each of the main four has kind of gotten the lives they always wanted, but not in the way they hoped

-- K finally is the (dark?) Chosen One they always wanted to be. They live in shadows and whispers, they're affecting change and using their spooky online persona to influence the world. But it has come at a terrible price. They're sucked into virtual spaces and pulling away from friends and loved ones, plus it's hell on poor Teddy to boot. K can finally be a crusader but they're ungrounded and care more about The Cause than their own quality of life (or Teddy's life)

-- Sam is famous and beloved. Shes reached new hights of fame and popularity, seemingly without much difficulty. Things just seem to continually work out. But her reliance on her charm is unintentionally causing her to be kind of a menace to those around her. Her PA and producer and Tony Danza bend to her whims, even at their own expense and mental health. Without a check on her charm magic she can priorit her own happiness without having to consider others. Sam makes it work, why cant they do it too? So people dont get too close because of their stress and her fame. She is a caring and thoughtful person normally but right now is using her gifts in unhealthy ways, which may be to her detriment later

-- Evan finally has stability and a dry bed and some control over his shadow and other demons. He has the predictability hes always craved. But even after overcoming his obstacles he is still very much the same as ever--still alone, still terrified to put down roots, still afraid of his own shadow. Evan did all this work to fix his problems and his life is still kind of the same as it always was. Hes still scraping by on the margins in survival mode. Stability and a quiet life doesnt necessarily mean hes able to build a life where he can thrive

-- Jammer has his community, a team, job prospects, a potential love life. Hes living the basketball dream he was always working toward. But he also can't really be his full self. He had some profound experiences at Gowpenny and cultivated skills, but he doesnt share it or talk about it for fear of becoming an oddity. He's all about connections and the team but he doesnt trust those in his day to day with important aspects of himself--and can you really be part of the team without trust?. He has always been focused on the group but now it may be harming or stunting him in unforseen ways
