I feel like Eddie is the type of guy to always have a slide whistle in his pocket and uses it to make incidental sound effects for the conversations that happen around him.
Nobody knows where he gets them all from and they don’t ask incase he takes one out and starts playing with it.
Wayne is so happy every time he loses one of the whistles. He absolutely never tells Eddie when he finds one of the numerous whistles that have rolled under the couch. He has an agreement with Steve to dispose of them secretly and securely.
Except one night when Steve’s driving around town with Eddie, he opens the glove box and there’s a bag full of whistles (seriously nobody knows where he’s getting them from. And in bulk?)
And Eddie is all ‘HEY!’ Which immediately makes Steve tense up in preparation for an argument with his easily antagonised boyfriend about the possible theft of offending musicals instruments.
But then Eddie continues with ‘more whistles! I didn’t take you for a fan dude!!’
And promptly shoves one up each of his nostrils and one in his mouth and tries to play them all at once while demanding Steve watch instead of watching the road.
Steves going to have to think of a new hiding spot.
If you go down and refuse to take any part of the situation seriously, you get a cartoon clown princess. She talks exclusively in references and Joss Whedon style "did that just happen?!" quips. She keeps mugging for the camera and doing obnoxious dances. The soundtrack is off-key circus music played on kazoos.
“This one is the single worst thing in the entire world. I’m not making her into a heart. Never bring me a vessel like this again. Jesus Christ. I'd say 'do not mourn for her', but you're obviously not going to."
good afternoon, how are you i’m thinking about jake hix in the town of stain’d by the sea, reading a book while waiting for water to boil. he’s forgotten to turn on the stove
“Still, he was eager to assist in the scribing of those notes I had emphasised were potentially vital to the advancement of the Magnus Institute’s work. Likely, he was simply overawed by my status as founder, but his excitement at this prospect was clearly genuine.”
*SCREECHING SO LOUD EVERY EARDRUM AND OTHER FRAGILE THING FOR MILES AND MILES AND MILES SHATTERS AS I VIBRATE ‘TIL I’M JUST A FLOATING BLUR OF COLORS IN DIFFERENT PLACES EVERY TIME YOU BLINK WITH NO DETAILS AT ALL AND BASHING THINGS REPEATEDLY SO HARD AND FAST THEY’RE REDUCED TO DOZENS OF PIECES IN SECONDS*
Most of this is copy and pasted from the discord with some adjustments. I figured I might as well post it to the world for others to see, so enjoy!
When you really think about it, Coda and Baron are pretty much the same episode. Besides the obvious parallel of Kozma and Concords fates, there’s A LOT of other similarities. They’re both about a meeting between Weepe and his current main opposing force. Both Concord and Lazlo have ulterior motives and want something more from him. They both attempt to have the power in the conversation before it quickly and suddenly gets shifted to Weepe, and then there’s also just Weepe. In both meetings, he is self medicating either with his own Syringe Nutcracker Combo™ or with the Big Ass Machine™ in his mansion. And then, both times, he uses his own fold blood to jellify the rival. Also, both episodes HEAVILY focus on the mystery of “what the fuck is going on with Moc Weepe”. Coda introduces his fold ailment and his connection to the mothers (thanks to the appendix), and Baron fully explains the story.
Furthermore, identifying the differences between the two scenes is just as interesting, because to me it really represents everything in Weepes life that has changed between the two episodes. In Coda, he’s at the Cabaret, he’s not (super) fucked up and the biggest thing in his life at that time is the exact subject of the conversation: the breach route. He kills Concord in order to continue the one real thing on his mind, being his own rise to power.
And then in Baron, he’s in his new mansion with his new status that he now has purely BECAUSE of what he did to Concord in Coda, he’s all fucked up and weird thanks to his rise to power, the scope of his life has gotten a lot bigger and the conversation topic is, again, the biggest thing in his life currently: The Trust, and him getting revenge on the very person who fucked him over all those years ago.
I feel like this could be used to make a secondary yap about the parallels of Kozma Lazlo and Atticus Concord as characters, but I’ll leave that for someone else to pick up.
