I fucking love everything about this tweet. Fucking Nathan Fielder decided to wake up on New Years Day 2013 and say the most based shit. Yes. This is real. Now press your lips into me.

Dethvanity is really funny to me conceptually as an episode because you can see how little they had to make the characters insecure about for the bit. They swing for obvious lowblow choices with Pickle' baldness and Nathan's weight and even those require some suspension of disbelief because ok. Sure. Nathan '(said extremely proudly) never skipped a meal in my life!' Explosion is insecure about being a big man now. Nathan *guy who everyone thinks is smoking hot 99% of the time* Explosion is a tiny bit larger than usual and is insecure about it now. Lol. Lmao even.

But anyway then we hit Skwisgaar and Toki and there's like NOTHING to swing for, you can see them going uhhh ok Skwis doesn't sleep he probably drinks a lot of coffee, and Toki? Shit, what does Toki have to be insecure about with his looks. He's perfect, he's adorable, he's ripped. Um. FUCK IT, HE'S DOING NOTHING BUT EATING LEMONS. WE GOT NOTHING, WE GOT NOTHING, JUST GIVE THE BOY CITRUS FRUITS.

WOE 🍋 BE UPON YE

I'm sure i could make some smarter points about the attempts at applying vanity in this ep and how outside of this and a few other moments i do actually like that the show rarely takes pot shots at things like Nathan's weight, but you see Nathan has shirtless scenes in this one and so my intelligence is impeded when all the blood rushes out of my head and into my-

“I’m sorry I destroyed the record! I’m sorry that I took the girl! But I don’t want her if it means that I can’t have you. Be my drummer.”

Hi guys i am thinking about this again 🙁

stupid fucking geek rant/analysis(?) under the cut that’s probably been worded better and said before by like a krillon people

this scene is deadass one of my most favorite non-comedic sequences in the show

i enjoy every single little corny detail of this scene because it's just GOOD. it's one of the most significant moment between nathan and pickles in the entire series

LIKE . THIS BIG ASS MAN IS VOMITING BLOOD IN ORDER TO APOLOGIZE TO HIS BANDMATE/FRIEND ..,, THE PEOPLE ARE SHELLSHOCKED. he is more emotional trying to do this than deliver the eulogy of his longtime band-father figure. he’s doing this in front of his ACTUAL ex bandmate (MAGNUS,,,!! HELOO!!!!)

the show has made it clear with dialogue and just plot in general that nathan has trouble expressing himself emotionally (snakes n barrels pickles, REBECCA!!!, song of salvation, blablabla…)

it has also made it clear he DOES care about his bandmates like when he takes dethklok to sweden to get skwisgaar back, saves toki from the revengencers/tries to talk about his recent drinking, freaking out for almost killing murderface, saving toki from camp, the crap in doomstar requiem/army of the doomstar, every motherly thing, etc. THE LIST COULD GO ON IS WHAT IM TRUING TO SAY .

but THIS is the scene that means the most to me,,, i love nathan and pickles and the crazy chaotic shit they pull, and this is such an crucial scene in both of their character arcs and the break of the tension in that part of the show. whether you want to ship nickles romantically or not, you cannot overlook the obvious relationship they have because IT’S SO HUGE.

also HELLOOO????? FRIENDERBENDER?????????? ARE THEY GETTING GAY WITH IT ??????? MAYEB

sorry hi i’m done and i’m normal now

AFTG AU where Katelyn and Neil are half siblings, and Katelyn got left behind with Nathan when Mary ran away with Neil.

Everything on Neil's side is pretty much the same but Katelyn (whose real name is Natasia) is completely different. She was raised by Nathan and Lola so she was trained with knives, life full of pain and cuts and scars and punishment and just ugly. Also, every time Mary and Neil got away from Nathan's men, it was Katelyn who had to bear the consequences, so she grew up quite resentful.

Katelyn —Natasia— may or may not be involved in the investigation that led to Nathan's being in jail. Of course, she refuses completely to cooperate with the FBI investigation and that's why Nathan doesn't suspect her, at all. Once Nathan's in jail, she makes a deal with him —she wants to have a normal life, go to college, live away from Baltimore— and Nathan agrees but he also promises her that once he's out of jail, she'll have to deal with becoming the new Butcher.

So off she goes to Palmetto and everything is great, honestly. Nathan gets more than one year in jail, and it's on her second that Neil arrives and things get shitty....

NEXT PART

[whamcitycomedy]

why does he look so scary

[eepersjeepers]

Crying my eyes out? Over Leverage fan fiction? Over an Eliot!hurt fic? No. No I’d never do that. That would be silly.

Unrelated, but

Would anyone happen to have any tissues?

Anyone?

i am quietly begging people to stop throwing around the term "sociopath" for any character who holds others at an arm's length or appears emotionally closed off.

nine outta ten times it's trauma and self-preservation, not sociopathy.

Gonna write briefly about “The Rehearsal” on my succ blog bc why not. But I think it truly is brilliant, in hindsight of the finale, that the show turned out to actually be an effective criticism of itself, of reality tv as a genre (even and maybe especially the shows that are framed as being helpful for their participants), the use of child actors, and even, to a certain extent, Nathan Fielder’s own brand of comedy. All of that is 100% intentional - they could’ve shown anything they wanted and deliberately showed things that would make us deeply uncomfortable for ethical reasons, and deliberately highlighted the ways in which participants may have felt pressured into participating and how the presence of cameras impacts behaviour.

I’ve already seen the claim that the finale’s big twist is that it’s a “scripted narrative” and I don’t think that’s true at all. It’s pretty clear that Nathan and the team had an idea of where they wanted the show to go, but all the people they featured were real people. They didn’t script so much as… well, manipulate what happened by introducing certain elements, as all reality shows do. While they might have had a general sense of where they wanted the show’s “arc” to go, they were reliant on the participants behaving in certain ways or raising certain issues to dictate just how they went about achieving that arc. The brilliance here is making it fairly obvious to the audience what they’re doing, whereas most reality shows will try to hide it.

(And this premise is built into the pitch! We all expected to get a show about Nathan running these little rehearsals, and that idea is built on the premise that human behaviour is predictable and manipulable, if you control enough variables. And then we watched this exact premise play out entirely differently - and in a way that was much darker - from how we expected.)

There are so many more things to unpack about the show, obviously, but personally I just keep coming back to the fact that they made a reality tv show to say “hey, maybe even ‘helpful’ reality tv is somewhat unethical because these people are being helped for our own voyeuristic benefit, and those motivations will determine how producers approach the participants and the arcs they deliberately try to set up, even if we don’t see that on our screens.” It’s a bold move but I think they pulled it off well
