How do you think Munch lived before? Where did he live? Where does he sleep? I wanted some details, because I'm trying to write some kind of fic and I'm not that good at it, what do you think? Where was he before Roy hired him? I wanted to write a fic without all the erotic stuff that part of the fandom does, I want something more serious, about his trajectory. So, I wanted some ideas: did he live by breaking into houses? Did he live on empty plots of land? What was he eating? What did he do on a daily basis? Where does he get cigarettes and so on? Sam said that the idea is that he doesn't carry things with him, because he's the kind of guy who when he needs to, grabs a gun, a cigarette and so on. Like the scene of him picking up the cigarette from the ground, what did he do before? What kind of jobs was he taking? Just kidnappings and murders? What do you imagine? Has he had other "Irma's"? Where did he break in and stay quietly in the person's house? Where did he sleep in the meantime? I would like some insights, I am grateful for your headcanons.
Tumblr media
all great questions!! under the cut since my responses are kinda long:
so according to munch in the finale, he doesn't need to sleep. we can assume his curse has left him biologically frozen in time like a vampire. i think he was still able to rest & eat, but they dont actually serve any real purpose. he's not restored afterward nor would he suffer when deprived of those things. he closes his eyes, but he doesnt relax or dream. he eats, but it just disappears inside him. this makes it tricky to pinpoint why exactly he's a smoker, though. if i had to pull something out of my ass real quick, i'd say its an easy way to confirm his own existence, like how we can see our breath when its cold, or when we hold our hands close to fire. it becomes addicting to him in that sense, rather than his body needing nicotine itself. he wouldn't respond negatively to cigarettes at all, but because tobacco just generally stains anything it's in prolonged contact with, that explains why his teeth are so tarnished.
as for jobs, i genuinely think he was a drifter in every sense of the word. he has an innate need for creature comforts so i think his quests to find those things lead him to kill-or-be-killed situations. money is also a tricky topic bc idk what it'd mean to him apart from a sign that the completion of a job has been acknowledged & properly compensated. he didn't seem to care about roy's money once he acquired it. my guess is, in relation to your "irma" question as well, that he leaves money where it's most needed. he clearly gave some to her when she returned to the house with groceries.
munch might have acquired firearms by brazenly attacking organized crime circles or just stealing off of criminals. i think he'd be efficient & quick enough that the murders would just be reported as internal conflict.
i don't see him as a vigilante but i also don't think he'd just hurt people indiscriminately. he's had centuries for his hatred of the rich to fester, & he's very clearly disturbed by the deaths of innocents re: irma. i understand this is kind of a conundrum where dot is concerned, but again, it's represented through a cycle. munch maintains it by allowing himself to be employed by the powerful to secure that throwaway money. all he knows after being hired by the tillmans is that a rich man wants his wife back, whom he probably assumes is also rich, like bunny lebowski. it's only after he sees how hard dot fights back that he questions the nature of the job.
i think munch has had other "irma's", but not recently. i said this in a previous post, but i think every once in a while back in the day he'd stop by a rural family's home & offer to help them out for a bit in exchange for food & board, which he only took advantage of for a couple of days out of fear that his presence would somehow attract danger. again, this is less of a need to satisfy biological hunger & more about his hunger for companionship & family. losing that which he found in the indigenous tribes that invited him in left him very hesitant to seek it out anywhere else. fleeting moments are better than none at all. something else to dwell on is him assigning irma as his temporary "mama". from this we can infer 3 things:
he misses having a mom, & he wants someone to take care of him. obvious.
calling her his "mama" might be a way of apologizing for scaring her. awkward, yes. ineffective, yes. but the title suggests purity, hardship, and the respect owed to a mother who exhibits those things. another example of his innate connection to women.
he suggests it casually, showing he doesn't feel guilty for breaking in. this interested me for a bit since it makes him partly responsible for irma's death, but the more i thought about it, it makes sense because he is aware of his own power, power he wasn't employing to bully. in exchange for her charity, he promised to protect her. this made her death that much worse & undoubtedly stirred past trauma.
there's also the question of his sudden need for a mama. what about the dot job made him that lonely or scared? my theory is that the kin connection to dot was sparked during their "battle". he didn't know how to respond to it, especially considering this woman was briefly his victim. he figured he could seek an outlet somewhere else, but somewhere incedentally close to dot, in a house in the suburbs. his ability to "know people" must've told him that irma was not one of the suburbanites. she is ignored, her house is falling apart, etc. this is presumably why he didn't break into a more well-off house.
when he doesn't want to go through the trouble of bothering people, he'd most likely find uninhabited homes or buildings to squat in. the little hut in the beginning of episode 9 intrigued me, but nothing about it suggested it was owned by him. it might just be a shed used by ice fishers. it made me think of the one wrench & numbers used in s1 to keep warm.
as for what munch does in his spare time, there's nothing in the show to really drive me in one direction or another, so i like to think he reads. finding books without the use of a library is not uncommon (those little free libraries where ppl leave books for others to take). plus he can just steal & then leave them somewhere when he's done. i like to think reading is how he learned to speak english, even way back in his early years.

I'm Ezra, I'm a 38yo happily married, but non monogamous, Australian queer trans man, drug addict. I've been into true crime since I was 9yo (April/May 1995) when I had mono, and I was being looked after by my uncle. He was into true crime, and most of his books were crime books. The first one I read was The Stranger Beside Me by Ann Rule (about Ted Bundy); followed by the first 5 books by Chopper Read (an Australian criminal, who wrote books about his exploits while in prison, they made a movie about him, called Chopper, staring Eric Bana. I highly recommend watching it, it's on YouTube, just search for "Chopper Full Movie"), and finally A Father's Story by Lionel Dahmer (Jeffery Dahmer's father). I was immediately hooked on true crime.

My OFMD fic list
Series:
how the west was won and where it got us (a.k.a. the revenge ranch) - ongoing modern AU set at a horse ranch/B&B in rural New Mexico with mostly the whole crew; mainly switching between Oluwande and Jim POV with one-offs for other folks in between. Slice of life stuff, some hurt/comfort, some fluff, one soft smutty story. 19 entries and counting, >130k words(!)
Kitchen Mistakes & How To Avoid Them - 14 chapters/87k words, also known as the "test kitchen AU." Ed/Stede enemies-ish-to-lovers focus with several other pairs/trios featuring. M rated for a little spice. Main work complete as of April 3, 2023. Now a series with one-shots!
We're Gonna Live In The Trees - modern AU in which Stede's a custom treehouse builder in a failing marriage and Ed's a new client who makes him surprisingly flustered. The closest I've gotten to a nice, cozy romance with minimal angst (like, there's SOME angst). 6 chapters, 35k words, complete as of June 16, 2023. There's also a podfic (linked in the notes)! Sequel Rock On To The Oceanside started July 25!
One-shots/single multichapter fics:
the secret middle-aged sad-sack mostly bad vibes I can sing along to playlist - ongoing wip with daily-ish short updates, modern au in which stede gets all my problems, slow fucking burn, baby, rated M. actual playlists and a podfic linked in notes. 60k as of 4/18 and on hiatus.
Gutterballs For Days - The Big Lebowski AU with a twist. Collaboration with art! 4 chapters starting 4/20/24 (natch)
the way things are going - tealoranges t4t climate apocalypse story extremely loosely inspired by parable of the sower. Complete at 50k words/9 chapters as of March 14, 2024.
all that i need is you and the sea - the accidental time travel amnesiac five-part Stede/Ed love story I somehow cranked out over five days. Starts in a post-apocalyptic future and goes way, way back.
an atypical emotional response to common sounds - 6.6k oneshot i dubbed "the misophonia fic." Also my first (maybe only) foray into writing Stede/Ed smut. Also a T-rated sequel due to a controllable irregularity (5k)
Welcome to Jeff’s Inn by the Sea | Innkeeper Roleplay ASMR | Personal Attention | Realistic | Soft Spoken Male Voice - 4.2k, rated M, Ed/Stede idiots in love/accidental sex tape (fade to black)
Plus Ones - office party mutual pining (Ed/Stede)/fake dating (Stede & Archie) shenanigans, rated T, 3k words.
I Think I See The Light - 5.6k oneshot attempt to merge a very canon-divergent Jim/Oluwande love story and Jim's vengeance plot with Harold & Maude.
Stede has started shopping for your order - 2.2k oneshot for the prompt "gig worker." A sweet lil' cupcake from me to u.
in a time trap - not exactly a fix-it time loop one-shot, starting from where Chauncey wakes Stede up with a gun in his face.
heading vaguely eastward - the first (and maybe only) Mary/Jim fic on AO3. Nudged myself into an Explicit rating here. One-shot modern AU with flirting, banter, etc.
let's pretend we're bunny rabbits - short one-shot in which Ed and Stede are literally pet rabbits (Izzy's and Lucius's, respectively).
a silver vision convalesced my soul - one-shot based on a prompt for guardian angel AU, hurt/comfort, and the sentence "do you really believe that?" featuring Jim and Oluwande.
science tells us - unfinished/WIP using "science" myths to inspire scenes in between canon bits. Might never finish this one.

The Big Lebowski (1998)
Tumblr media
I don’t know what other movie I’d compare The Big Lebowski to. It’s got a lot of drug use and trippy dream sequences, but a stoner movie? That’d be a stretch. Its cast contains kidnapping and thieves but I’d never call it a crime film. The characters we meet are so distinct it’s a struggle to find their equivalents in any other tale. It’s a film in a category all of its own, which makes it a must-see.
Slacker Jeffrey “The Dude” Lebowski (Jeff Bridges) has few ambitions beyond having a good time and bowling with his friends Walter (John Goodman) and Donny (Steve Buscemi). After some idiotic thugs confuse The Dude and millionaire philanthropist Jeffrey Lebowski (The titular Big Lebowski, played by David Huddleston), The Dude becomes embroidered in a kidnapping and ransom scheme.
Every character in this film is a standout. It’s as if the Coen brothers (who write and direct) snatched every standout comedic weirdo you see in other films and put them all together on their own planet where only their rules apply. The results are completely unpredictable. Everyone from the Big Lebowski’s aggressively feminist weirdo artist daughter Maude (Julianne Moore) to the thugs who demand a ransom for his trophy wife Bunny (Tara Reid) will say and do things that will make you do a double-take over and over. Even when you become somewhat acclimated to the people surrounding The Dude (who, thankfully, is more of an everyman, or as close to it as one can get in this film), you have no idea what's coming next.
You’ll laugh, you’ll bite your nail out of nervousness, you’ll curse one character that’ll turn out to have been right the whole time and you’ll latch onto another who will turn out to be the last person you should trust. You feel exactly as confused and overwhelmed as The Dude. Before you know it, everything’s spun out of control and the only course of action is to continue along the same path that’s been set out since the beginning. Anything else is sure to end up in a shootout. If this doesn’t seem to make any sense, just wait and see. You’ll understand soon enough.
Part of what makes The Big Lebowski so magnetic are the inane conversations found throughout. There are a lot of great lines in this picture. I’m not sure when you’ll be able to refer to a rug as “really tying a room together”, but the characters, the scenes, the plot (nutty as it is) and the dialogue are all so memorable, you’ll find a way to crowbar it in somewhere. This inspired screenplay is about people who range from either so passive trouble seems to seek them out, or so aggressive they turn the world around them to hell. You don’t see yourself in any one of these people directly, but it feels like you've met at least some of them at one point.
While my second viewing of the film meant the surprises weren't there anymore, and this meant I didn't enjoy it as much as the first time, I can sense The Big Lebowski growing on me. I suspect I'll like this film even more the third, fourth, fifth, etc. times I see it. (On DVD, May 19, 2018)
