throwing it out there that butcher hallucinating hughie as lenny was Extremely good foreshadowing of the repercussions that continuous temp v usage would have.
since butcher hadn't been shown to experience hallucinations prior to the drug, it's safe to assume that specific leak is confirmed. butcher disoriented and unsure of what's real and what isn't on my screen pleeease

man i really need to like... write up a post about the undercurrents of queerphobia going on with how five is written, mostly aro/homophobia and transphobia. tbh i think i'm going to make separate posts for the two, for a few reasons; one of them is that the transphobia part delves a lot into the reading of the mogadorians' narrative as a metaphor for radfem BS, and that one's gonna take some deep dives into several other characters as well as straight up the series as a whole. it also runs through Major Central Themes for five himself, so there's that.
the aro/homophobia, though... i'm not really sure what to make of the fact that it's there, given that he otherwise doesn't seem like they're trying to portray him as a gay stereotype. and who knows how intentional it is; i get the feeling they didn't exactly sit down and rub their hands together about Time to Write a Malicious Depiction of a Gay/Aro Kid--especially since i doubt they knew what aro even was--but conscious or not i feel like both of those things were a factor in the resulting background radiation. but there are a lot of things, most of them small ones, that start to form a picture when you put them together, and some of them stick out more than others in ways that feel weirdly pointed.
anyway that's going to be interesting to go into, but for starters his backstory involves scaring off a guy harassing him on the street who was about to beat him up after calling him a homophobic slur, so lmao

@freezegirl — idk why but have a short thing of kie & warren + some shakespeare
warren had been working his way through all of william shakespeare's works, continuing to comb through all the classics literature had to offer. with shakespeare there was more he seemed to dislike than like for the most part, but by this point he'd at least developed a like for his prose & sentence structure. currently he was on ' the two gentlemen of verona ' — a play he knew he'd hate but was determined to suffer through it, if only to say he has. it was among shakespeare's oldest works so warren's normal enjoyment of criticisms felt somewhat suppressed by the knowledge that shakespeare will come to later produce works of actual quality. but even so, there wasn't really much he was held back on. if he had a thought worth sharing why would he not?
& so here warren stands, emphatically reading shakespeare both to the room & to kie alike ( read as it should be read, mind you ), then interrupts himself every few lines with some commentary on how terrible it all is. he'd gone into the play hoping that at least what he'd read about a vaguely funny monologue about a dog, of all things, was true & good. but when it came to the monologue himself, it was so void of humour in his mind that it honestly just felt annoying the whole way through.
he reads said launce monologue to her, saying it not by memory so his eyes were turned solely pageward, but at least he could read it with a genuine understanding of characters & appropriate tone ( not that it was particularly difficult to understand such simple character like launce ). gods knows how terribly shakespeare is so often always performed. ❝ its so dumb to have an entire monologue about how much you don't like your dog, ❞ he complains, ❝ not to mention the random antisemitic line in the middle for absolutely no reason. i thought this was supposed to be a good scene but —UGH. ❞ he groans, words escaping him as he sits himself on the couch next to her, soon followed by his head landing in her lap. ❝ it actually hurts to read this... anyone who likes two gents is insane & should get themselves checked out by a professional. ❞ he scoffs. thought its no use telling him to drop it, even if he should with this happening after less than half the play. it's no wonder why its so seldom performed. as far as warren was concerned, the fewer people exposed to such a travesty the better.
❝ —also, who names their dog ' crab ' anyway? ❞
