What’s your fave ep of the og and the new series?
DREAMS. the tv show was great dont get me wrong but the og series is a goddamn masterpiece and i will be beyond amazed if any piece of media EVER surpasses it. dreams is my favorite ever because i LOVE when stories do the thing where they Break the Medium and shift the visual style and it feels so inherently wrong. that shift to the red's office, the change in aspect ratio, GOODBYE PLAYING IN THE STAIRS SCENE, it is beautiful and it is art. the overt symbolism of the golden glitter curtain falling in checkerboard void, the machine just a little ways beyond it and roy within the fog, the so many different ways anyone can interpret that final minute because it could be anything and it is different to everyone. ooh hey i've got something to write soon about the color changed trio don't i!! i believe we may have some new context for that ending. anyway dreams is the most satisfying conclusion to any story in the entire world and i have very normal taste i have normal taste i have normal taste (what i repeat to myself in my head when the dentist asks my favorite tv show)
and in the new series!
TRANSPORTATION.
i've seen a lot of mixed feedback on this one, which i can't claim to understand!!! it is my favorite by far. perhaps improved by the fact i saw it around five in the morning after having been awake 26 hours and then slept for 3 hours after that (very good day i had) but jeez this one was a trip (pun very much intended!!). something special about this one is that the train didn't actually... do anything to them. at all. he just kinda showed up and then died. everything that went wrong the trio did to themselves. or, more accurately, red did to the trio. this episode was about them. no one else. hell there's even the joke with the time child and tony. they're not here. they've left and they've never tried to do that before.
this episode also happens to house The Only Part that made me cry lmao (although admittedly it was more in that fridge-horror way where it only hits you later). when red yelled "i'm not going back to that house." yeah that destroyed me i think. that whole part though, from the dead bird to the glitch, with the increasingly mounting tension starting from the repetitive beeping of the fuel meter to the train waking up to yellow and duck not understanding what's going on to red very outwardly becoming increasingly desperate because he doesn't want to go back and it just builds until it snaps and the last time dhmis managed to do that was in that most beloved "stranger's plate" sequence, wasn't it? yeah <3
transportation also has the very best Duck Autism Moments (everything with the clipboard). that petty little "i have my own system, don't get involved." and then how it comes back at the very end... its the last shred of normalcy he's able to create for himself. and for the others. there's a sort of comfort in some things never changing.

I think the worst thing ive ever done was send my best friend a bunch of really cute fanarts of 2B and 9S and after she gushed over them for a while (she hasn’t played the game) I went “yeah, they’re so cute :) they deserved better” and then watched her have a meltdown as I told her what happened to them. Evil but so so so funny

(ID in alt and under cut)
ID: 1a. Small panel, waist up of Nandor and Guillermo on a vague grayish-blue background. Nandor has one hand on his hip and the other pointing upwards as he leans toward Guillermo sternly and says 'Now I will show you how to call long distance.' Guillermo looks up at him, rubbing his arm awkwardly, still flushed from the previous page, and responds 'Ok...' 1b. Chest up of Nandor on a brighter blue background with his eyes closed in concentration, palms held up and out. He clears his throat and says, in a wispy bright blue speech bubble, 'I, Nandor the Relentless, am calling out to the etherrrr to inquire about available familiarsssss...' 1c. Shoulders up of Nandor and Guillermo lurching to one side in shock, Nandor's hands flying up, shoulder crashing into Guillermo's, as a glowing blue bubble suddenly shoves into their panel. Inside the bubble is a thin white vampire in drag with long white-blonde hair styled half up in a high ponytail by a sparkly red scrunchie. She is wearing a thin red dress with a black leather corset, a red-violet leopard fur capelet with gold coins dangling from the hem, a red jabot at her neck with a bat shaped gold brooch decorated with rubies, and shoulder length red gloves with ruby-encrusted gold caps shaped like claws on each finger. She lurches into frame with a huge, devious grin, shouting, 'Nandor, babygirl! Is that you?!' 1d. Repeat of Nandor and Guillermo standing side by side, Guillermo now having moved to stand slightly behind. Nandor slumps and scowls, already looking exhausted by this encounter, and greets poisonously 'Hello, Nancy the Relentless.' Guillermo frowns up at Nancy but stays quiet. From offscreen, Nancy coos, 'Heyy, mama! Still shopping in Turkish Cryptkeeper Kohls? I love that for you.' Nandor replies, irritated, 'This kaftan is not coal, it is made of wool from the sheeps of Al Q-' Nancy interrupts and asks, 'So, you're looking for a familiar?'
2a. Waist up of Nancy in her ether bubble, right arm crossed over her chest to rest on her left bicep, left hand reaching up to tap a jaunty claw on her cheek. She raises a brow and grins, tongue curling around one fang, and asks teasingly, 'Does that mean your scrumptious little slayer-boy is finally availableeee? 2b. Chest up of Nandor and Guillermo side by side. Glare fixed on Nancy, Nandor throws an arm out in front of Guillermo and shouts, 'No!! I have told you before, he is mine!' Guillermo startles, a green glow beginning to creep up behind him as goosebumps skitter up and down his shoulders. Nancy replies to Nandor, 'And your title is mine, Nandor the Plagiarist!' Nandor snaps back, 'I have been called Relentless since before you were born, Nancy the- the Pretender!' 2c. Repeat. Guillermo blushes and looks away, lips pursing as if attempting to whistle nonchalantly as his hand reaches up to grip the arm Nandor is holding in front of him and move it away from his body. Nandor's eyes flit over to him curiously, color rising to his cheeks. Nancy continues, 'Ooh, baby, you know how I feel about older men yelling at me. You should call more often.' 2d. Close up of Nandor in profile in the foreground, Nancy's bubble beyond. He glares at her and asks sharply, 'Do you know of any familiars looking for work or not?' Nancy, full body visible now as she perches on the edge of a table and leans back on one arm, legs crossed at the knee to reveal the high slit in her dress, fishnets, and thigh high black leather boots. She closes her eyes haughtily and stretches her free arm outward in a clearly rehearsed pose, replying, 'Well, gorgeous, effortless, beloved vampires usually receive applications directly...' 2e. Repeat. Nandor arches his eyebrows and turns his head away from Nancy toward the viewer, muttering, 'Then you must alert me if you find such a vampire.' Nancy wheezes with shocked laughter, kicking her legs wildly and flapping her arms, delighted rather than offended by the dig. Through her laughs, she declares, 'Read!!' 2f. Chest up of Nandor and Guillermo, the latter standing just behind and gripping the edge of Nandor's sleeve. Offscreen, Nancy recovers from her fit and says, 'Well, since I'm nice, I'll forward you a few. But- hello! Is that the slayer behind you? Did you turn him?! You bitch!! Guillermo, call m-!' Nandor scowls and interrupts, saying quickly, 'YesthankyouNancygoodbye.' He then flaps his hand in the air, dispersing Nancy's bubble and ending the call. Behind him, Guillermo frowns, flustered and blushing. 2g. Repeat. Nandor lowers his hand and glares where Nancy once appeared, sneering, 'Yeesh, why could you not have slain her?' Guillermo aims an unimpressed glance toward him, still purple in the cheeks. /end ID
