#but it all performs a function

Vox likes to build little trinkets for people he likes. He used to be a "buy your affection" type of guy, but since he doesn't have access to/no one trusts him with money anymore, homemade gifts are the next best thing.

Once the Vees get him back from the hotel crew and realize he's mellowed enough that he can be trusted with (small) electronics again, they provide him materials to build things with. Vox is thrilled– it's so much more interesting than just sitting around playing with Vark or staring at a screen all day.

Over the years, Val and Vel each end up with desk drawers filled with little, semi-functional electric devices. It's not clear what all of them are meant to be, but they make good fidget toys and mean the absolute world to them.

smthin about blitzø's romantic relationships defined by him as bodyguard, with fizz, with verosika, and with stolas. something about that being a part of his core, either as a negative (it's all about putting his body in front of theirs because he's the "less important" factor and it's the only real thing he feels has to offer alongside sex) or as a positive (he likes protecting others, he likes being of use, it's a good way of communicating how much he cares and he's good at it)

but yeah, that forming part of the foundations of those relationships from his side

you know, an interpretation of ct that I don't see that I personally really love is that she's a fuck up. like yes she's cool and she has some good fight scenes, but a huge part of her character is that she makes mistakes. the mistakes that she makes are ones that on their own aren't the end of the world, but she keeps making these little mistakes, and they eventually add up until she's out of room to make any more.

a really good example of this phenomenon in action is the actions she took leading up to her final confrontation with carolina and tex.

strike one, she thought she saw something in the water, but when asked by the leader what it was, she brushed it off as nothing when even if it had been nothing, it would've been smart to tell him what she thought she saw.

strike two, she didn't sense or notice florida's presence when the leader did, and she looks at the leader twice, once as she pulled out her magnums, and again after she did a scan of the room, almost like she was looking at him for guidance before he finds florida and takes him out with one good axe throw.

strike three, she couldn't convince the leader to leave when they had the chance to get away, and her cheap tricks were not enough to hold off either tex or carolina in a fight. they were only good for incapacitating her opponents enough for her to get away, which doesn't work when she has no escape.

ct is not tex, or carolina, or south. she is not a one woman army who can get herself out of trouble when she's stuck in tough situations. she needs people who can watch her back, she need a team who can cover her when she does mess up, and the leader and his team were not those people. she couldn't bring herself to trust them, and they couldn't bring themselves to trust her, and that cost all of them their lives.

To The Moon Minisodes Eva's diary entries

In both of the minisodes if you leave out Eva's diary (so when you don't click on it while playing as Eva) you can later read it when the player controls Neil.

Minisode 1 diary entry:

Neil's reaction is fear, if you try to read the entry again he will say something like: "Nope."

Minisode 2 diary entry:

This time the only reaction is a speech bubble with three dots.

Okay but what is vale’s reaction to the motogp Instagram account posting that in the forced coming out au. Internally I mean. Does he do his best to ignore it? Is he so deep in denial that he’s patting himself on the back for being a good actor? What narrative is he building in his head?

coming down on jorge lorenzo (decidedly winning the idgaf war in all years) sending it to him and vale externally commenting two little love hearts and @ ing marc's insta publicly BUT also internally being like. im gonna have to run away to some uninhabited island in the mediterranean and live in exile like napoleon this sucks so bad

Confession : sometimes talking to my students makes me want to be kinder to myself just so I can tell them that it works and have the experience to back it up

Look man I just think it’s a shame that Lon Chaney Jr’s horror film debut usually gets cut from the roster.

NOT EVERY INTERNET JOKE IS GOOD

SOME OF THEM ARE BAD

JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING IS A HAHA FUNNY RELATABLE INTERNET MEME DOESN'T MEAN IT ISN'T HARMFUL
