#i think nicholas knows so maybe curtain would be like hey does your daughter like. hate me

[bi-demon-ium]

okay but actually constance DEMANDING piggyback rides from post-redemption!curtain all the time, a la toph and zuko. shes just like. chop chop idiot i want to go to the third floor library. and he's like i know you know how to walk. and she's like remember how you put me in a waking coma and he's like for fuck's sake but he's already crouching down

but like then: weirdly soft plot twist. constance really is just getting a kick out of making him carry her around, but like. constance knows that curtain's presence makes her--her "roommate", her mr benedict, happy. she also knows, via annoying psychic abilities, that a) he's secretly a huge bitch just like her and mr benedict, which means he will eventually be tolerable, b) his redemption is, as of now, genuinely and sincerely motivated.

so like. part of it is that she's fucking with him. he did still hurt a lot of people, including people constance doesn't admit to caring about but totally does. she's not like, letting him off the hook for this. maybe it's even partly a test, to make sure she's not wrong. but like... also part of it is this: she wants him to stick around longer, if for only for mr. benedict's sake.

and... well, she knows that everyone watching him, dutifully--with exasperation but also some clear like, visible amount of fondness for his niece--cart her around on his shoulders while she snips at him, is softening them up on him a bit. not only is it harder to stay actively mad at him when there's a pink ten year old sitting on his shoulders bullying him, but it's also obvious he's trying, and not only that, but allowing this obvious poke at his dignity go unchallenged.

(also it makes nicholas smile SO much. he'd love to give her piggyback rides but he is far more likely to fall asleep.)

GOOD DAY EVERYONE

I woke up at 3 am this morning and you have no IDEA how hard it was to wait until a reasonable hour to actually sit down and watch this episode. But the sun is up now, so let’s watch MBS episode 3: Depends on the Wagon!

!Warning!! Book and show spoilers ahead!

that’s not a creepy thing to say at all

thaT’S NOT A CREEPY THING TO SAY AT ALL

gdgisityiufwfitvoieti

Ooh- is that a reference to how Mr. Benedict taps his nose in the books?

That was actually my cousin’s theory-

Very casual, Sticky. Good job

he’s SO creepy and for what?

constance hid in the suitcase i-

kate, we’ve had this discussion

good deductive reasoning though :)

So the kids sent the “Gemini” message this time? Hm…

Uh oh, Mr Benedict’s having a crisis :(

OKAY FIRST OF ALL

YOU KNEW??

SECOND OF ALL

NATHANIEL?????

THE EVIL MASTERMIND WHO PLANS TO CONTROL THE ENTIRE WORLD IS NAMED N A T H A N I E L ? ? ? ?

NOT TELLING THE KIDS IS ONE THING, BUT NUMBER TWO DIDN’T EVEN KNOW?

That’s cold, Benedict.

I LOVE HIM SO MUCH

oh look! it’s nathaniel!

Oooooh a medieval Europe reference…. no, stop, I’m not supposed to like you-

side note: L.D. and S.Q.- does this family have something against first names-

Underhanded compliment much? I mean, even Constance phrased it a little nicer than that.

yes they’re brothers, what’s it to you SIR

dr curtain:

why does he eat salad like that

i know that’s a completely normal way to eat salad, i just feel the need to critique him specifically because i’m afraid that i LIKE HIM TOO MUCH SERIOUSLY

i know he’s trying to take over the world and all but the only thing he’s done so far is say a couple cryptic things and be a good dad,,,

okay man maybe get therapy? i’m sympathetic but perhaps you should not trauma dump onto this child you just met

it DEFINITELY seems like constance is speaking from experience

this isn’t the first comment like that she’s made-

child, who hurt you :(

somebody help this man

(am i the only one who’s terrified of touching insulation hhhhhhhhh)

Why does this scene in combination with the music remind me of Breath of the Wild

:(

wait-

we’ve seen that before

but it’s not on dr. curtain’s page...

it’s on mr. benedict’s.

👀 👀 👀

Oh? whomst-

Are you the Eva Stellenbosch to Curtain’s Dr. Greif, perhaps? (does anyone actually get that reference-)

Dr. Garrison, huh? Can’t wait to meet Dr. Office Building and Mr. Linen Closet :)

ALRIGHT REYNIE, YOU’RE REALLY GOING TO DO ME LIKE THIS AGAIN-

constance :( :( :(

MS PERUMAL YES  ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

GO GET YOUR SONNNNNN

WHOOOOOO ALRIGHT THAT WAS A RIDE

i know that it’s a bit early to give out top scores... but SCREW IT

10/10

LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-

wait PREVIEW the ribbons!

OHHHH WAITING ROOM

STICKYYYYY OH SHOOT

okay disney, FINE. i’m anxious for the next episode. is this what you wanted?!
