#EP10 Supremacy

[meanmisscharles]

I keep seeing a lot of conversation revolving around Izzy, Ed, and who needs redeeming.

So, first of all - Ed is the protagonist of this little story, so his redemption is guaranteed. It may not be easy, it may be complicated, but it will happen.

On the subject of it being complicated, or an uphill slog - why should it have to be? PoC who have redemption arcs in media are always having to run through troops and leap over walls to redeem themselves, when compared to white characters who have done the same if not worse. Why can't Ed's redemption with the crew be gentle? He got into the mess he did through an 'Act of Grace', why can't one that is more meaningful and not used as cudgel be extended to him?

Now, to me, Izzy is a different story and I'm going to tell you why.

The thing is, is while OFMD is hopeful and silly, it isn't a foolish show. What I mean by it not being foolish is, is that it spends time showing the benefit and journey of 'found family'. It shows the choices that have to be made and the impact that it has on the people who you are choosing, as well as the person making that choice.

What it does not do, is show choosing people who won't do what's necessary to become family and a safe haven, as a good thing to do. And that is what Izzy is. He's not safe. He's not making good decisions and he will bring death and hell down on PoC and those allied with them to have things remain not safe and not good.

Why is there the assumption that he should be redeemed? Yeah, yeah, Con's a fan fave. I'm talking about the character - y'know. The ACTUAL GUY DOING THINGS WE ACTUALLY SAW in the show.

Every white guy isn't redeemable. There is actually a lesson in letting people who don't value you go. This lesson can't just be shown in the context of larger forces, like the colonial power of the Navy, or the king. For PoC, there should be a line that is in the sand regarding what you'll accept in circumstances that you can control.

Look at the end of Ep10. Everyone is fucking miserable except for Izzy. He pushed and pushed and got what he wanted and while Ed has agency in how he dealt with it - what could be done differently?

Was Ed supposed to say, "Oh, you know what - you're right. I'm over it, back to the uzsh, Iz." After "edward better watch his fucking step?"

Izzy made a choice there in demanding Ed become the 'savage' he's fixated on.

What is redeemable about a person that demands your inhumanity and you gurning to the tune that white supremacy picked out?

Tough to say what the writers will do, since fandom went out of it's way hard and fast to say that the guy who is exactly like that, is one that they love the most.

MCD Rewatch S1 Ep10: Devil Cat

Do you need to watch this? 0%

Is it fun to watch this? 0%

Plot Summary: Aphmau fails to understand that if you bring an animal into your home you must take care of it. A guy says there will be merchants coming in soon. At the very last minute there’s a reveal that Zenix and Brennan have found a locked cellar below the old Lord’s house, and Aphmau remembers she has a rusty old key.

Personal Notes:

“I’ve been super busy making things nicer” fuckin bet

she’s “cleaned” up her inventory? what? that takes less than a minute to do? her house is still a barren wasteland of stone and oak planks

cobblestone rectange basement

WEREWOLF PROBLEM? WHAT?

oh its a mob from a mod, jesus

OSHA Well pavilion has expanded! OSHA Well supremacy!

Kiki is going to destroy the local ecosystem

IS THE CAT DYING? FEED YOUR ANIMALS

something genuinely upsetting about Aphmau hearing constant, loud animal pain noises and laughing and calling them annoying and ignoring them

every Aphmau build is an r/malelivingspaces build

locked cellar beneath Lord’s house

Brendan is carrying this village

HOW IS A SCORPION IN YOUR HOUSE

VYLAD TOOK A SHOT AT ZENIX OR BRENDAN?

Aphmau is unintentionally making herself into a character thats...i don’t think the term is sadistic because she gets no joy from the pain, but she’s dismissive of and laughs at the pain of both her pets and her citizens in a story where her citizens are gaining sentience

DR.STONE STONE WARS EP10:

ISNKAJQoana DID U seeee thattt!!!! i’m beyond amazed how this anime keeps on giving us literally the Best stories.

dr stone is that one single anime where every character can absolutely pass as a real complex human and make you care about all the angles that they may have to them.. call me easily amused but my god tsukasa redemption hell Fucking yea!!!

i find tsukasa to be such a fascinating character to observe.. even without his sister’s backstory to think of the morals he lived by, to take it upon himself to build a good future.. one where shit modern world problems are not worth existing. in a way i completely got his point tho i didnt like the method.. and now adding this back story only solidified his actions.. however it also highlights that once you have something to lose,something to care about, u do essentially get weaker, and that never was a bad thing, for what is life without something to live for.

then we get this what ill call iconic must-be-written-in-history-books moment of senku and tsukasa.. he finally understood where senku comes from.. science to senku is what mirai is to him.. something precious worth living for and fighting for.. senku’s care despite him not expressing it verbally is literally translated in Each and every action he does.. the mere idea of even being a science user is to help and care. tsukasa finally realized, just like how everyone else did, why our taiju and yuzuriha love him and trust him so much.. why the whole village does.

man and that last bit and the emotions im literally going to cry

it is true science and weapons can be so terrifying, senku said it himself last ep.. but its not always like that.. it’s like magic.. u can do Anything.

anyways dr.stone is the best and SENKU HAIR DOWN SUPREMACY hehe my dude can explain anything to u through science but can’t explain the physics of his hair

Ok sorry if this is annoying but I’m now watching s1 ep10 and I’m jsut😍moreid.

Like it’s so good, first of all, Spencer with the purple scarf, the whole Spencer asking Derek how to deal with dreams also the very obviously flirty teasing from Derek. Elle asking what’s up with them when she sees them talking and Spencer being like “nOtHiNg” like Elle knows ab a crush they have on Derek or something (😏) Spencer info dumping at the crime scene!! The unsub calling Spencer Dereks boy and he doesn’t disagree. Once again, a very good episode of gnc spencie

1- DONT EVER APOLOGIZE FOR SENDING IN MOREID!!! PLEASE I NEED THIS RIGHT NOW YOURE CURING MY BIG SAD!!! IF YOU'VE GOT MORE KEEP SENDING THEM!!!

2- THEY/THEM SPENCE SUPREMACY ISTFG!!! THE WAY DEREK CLEARLY CARES BUT HES NOT COMFORTABLE SHARING ABOUT HIS NIGHTMARES AND YET EVENTUALLY, LATER IN THE EPISODE, HE STILL DOES!!! HE TELLS THEM ALL ABOUT HIS OWN DREAMS AND SPENCER JUST LISTENS AND LIKE MOST OF THE EPISODE DEREK IS JUST GENUINELY PROTECTIVE OF THEM AND “bla bla bla I will shoot your bo-” “NO YOU WONT!!!”

3- MOTHER FUCKER THEYRE SO GAY IT HURTS!!
