Burrows end with the Blue is giving me big Secret of Nimh vibes! I know it’s got a lot of Watership Down inspiration but I never read the book as a kid because I thought it would make me bawl my eyes out (Secret of Nimh was terrifying but in a way I got deeply obsessed with) so Aabria has my heart gripped in her fist right now. If anything happens to these Stoats I am becoming a TERRIFYING OWL and swooping into this story myself to take over the narrative!

john price is a man incredibly high up in the chain of command of your company. he does a little walking tour of the buildings during crew appreciation weeks. helps humble down his image and he gets to have some meaningful conversations. sometimes even gets to meet particularly wonderful people.
he spots you, the sole person whose eyes are glued to their computer screen, in a sea of employees who are gawking at him. can hear the steady typing from your mechanical keyboard, your eyes flittering across the screen. he pauses a little too long, prompting laswell to repeat herself to the group before they move along.
but he makes sure not to be too far away, keeping you in his peripheral. notices how you don't even bother to spare a look in his direction. even when talking to team members that would place john directly in your sight, your eyes only focus on them. not him.
you were damn good at your job. the color-coded whiteboard behind you, filled with deadlines and application information, confirms it. funny too, if the little bouts of laughter that escape your team's cluster are anything to go by. he wonders what pitch your voice carries, just out of reach for it to bless his ears. wonders what it'd take for you to look and grant him a smile.
he doesn't have to wait long. your mouth splits into a bright smile and for a second john wonders if you're glowing. but the smile's not for him. it's directed at a coworker, who, for john's sake, is anything but quiet. he can hear just how thick he lays the praise for a job well done.
john watches the transformation that takes place as his words land. your soft easy-going smile widening, pushing your cheeks further up. you immediately perk up, back straightening, shoulders pushed back, and leaning forward in the direction of your coworker.
oh. oh.
john can feel something warm beginning to pool at the bottom of his stomach. he cracks a knuckle before shoving his fists into his pockets, lest he does something that lands him in HR.
he'll keep this tidbit with him for the next time he sees you. just so he can let you know how much of a good job you're doing.
maybe even get a reward.
a/n: silly little idea that came to my head while I was at work of course :') still trying to get out of my head when im writing but we're making progress

like we were so fucking robbed of seeing perez in the wake of saw vs events I want to see her getting out of the hospital and flipping tables and pointing a gun in ericksons face after being told that strahm is the lead suspect. I want to see her having a breakdown after strahms fingerprints come back dead. I want to see her hand twitching over her gun everytime she sees hoffman. I want to see her fucking losing it and desperate to avenge her friend and partner and to clear his name. I want to see the thought process that lead to her inviting known serial killer mark hoffman to the basement lab just so she could torture him psychologically before she had a legitimate excuse to shoot him. I want to see more of her and I want to see how strahms death impacted her the way the reverse impacted him.

Going into Alecto, I think it's important to expect that the series won't conclude with a clear lesson. Either about morality—what makes a good person, evil getting their just desserts, ect—or a thesis on decolonization. It's not that kind of story.
Deep down, this series is two drunk girls bearing their souls in a dark corner of the bar. An hours-long conversation that wheels wildly through pop culture, past trauma, theoretical physics, dreams and aspirations, global warming, hairstyling, friends, family, gender, personal insecurities, world history, favorite foods. It has a lot to say, and a lot of it profound, but it's not trying to teach anything. At the end of the night, the point was how fucking cool that girl was, and the potent electric potential for something lgbt to happen

Reminder that this is the level of drag 'representation' angel dust gives :/
This is bottom of the barrel feminization towards drag performing arts :/
And since helluva boss fans are only do passive as to read everything at surface level only here is the Spitting definition of drag queens/kings
At no point is it intrinsically all about just sexual performance or sexual drive, it can be a factor or a small portion but it is not just a large generalization as much as people are trying to make drag performing seem to be.
Drag is an art form. It is a statement. It is a person of beauty and the love and appreciation of fashion and expression!
Angel Dust is the complete opposite of sex workers or drag performers at all! If AD is supposed to resemble the theme of abuse in industry [something she already failed to portray with fizzerolli] and the toll that sex workers and addicts within the industry for that matter, we have no clue how he will act in Hazbin but the sneak peek of him in leather gives me no hope if the implication is that he will purely be centered around valentinos abuse. Considering someone on the team ship's and actively adores the ship that is Angel x Valentino
How can you claim to support sex workers while actively seeing them as purely fetishism gay yaoi bait THAT YOU ACTIVELY MERCHANDISE AS """SEXY""":/
There is nothing to angel dust besides the appeal of a feminine man being sexually abused.

we need to bring back the concept of swinging again cause if i see one more person say the waltens and the krankens would have some sorta queer platonic polycule bullshit ill lose it.
theyre straight married suburban middle aged couples who are close friends in the 60s - 70s. they'd be swingers. that's what that would be.

New mystery introduced in episode 12: why did Gwen want this promotion?
After she got promoted, we were all saying she wanted in on all the secrets but didn’t know the full truth of it and got in over her head (and that last part is still probably true) but that “we’re not doing good” conversation with Alice seems to suggest she had ulterior motives. She expects Alice to have figured out that the OIAR has some horrible purpose, implying she’d figured it out before getting her new job. She doesn’t act like it’s some big revelation, though she is still clearly horrified
So why did she want to be promoted so badly? Does she plan to take them down from the inside? Or is she so desperate for answers (think Tim Stoker) she’s willing to do anything to get them?
