i'm never not gonna get emo over scott dixon saying that his favorite part of the indy 500 is bringing new people there and watching THEM react in wonder to the awesome scale of it, and that his favorite part of being a dad is sharing all the beautiful things in the world with his kids...

i know that jesse armstrong is more than capable of knowing when to end a series but the way it was announced that season 4 is going to be the last one kind of made me feel like the whole process behind it is a bit sketchy. they only revealed that s4 is the last one only a month before the premiere, even after posting teaser trailers that never even hinted at the season being the last, and even the cast got the news only during the table read for the final episode. the promotion of season 4 has been disappointing especially when compared to season three. while the actors are not the ones writing the show, most of them have been very clear that they could have seen the show go on for another season and their disappointment over the show ending has been clear as day. while an ambiguous ending will be a very fitting end to succession and i am not against it, i am definitely wondering if the decision to finish with season 4 was something that developed during the filming process instead of it being a clear guideline throughout the creative process of season 4.

more marcus headcanons?
Thank you for asking, Anon! Yes I do have headcanons >:)
(prepare for me looking way too deep into things)
I'm a very big fan of the theory/headcanon that Marcus' eyebrow raise is him turning off the safety on his heat vision
I really like how it changes the context of his eyebrow moments from
"haha I'm so smug and evil >:)"
to
"This situation is escalating, so I'm getting ready to attack you if you become aggressive + haha I'm so smug and evil >:)""
it kind of gives off the idea it might be out of anxiety
because him raising his eyebrows is a survival reflex.
okay next one
I think Marcus' body is made of aluminum
because
Marcus is waterproof in canon and aluminum is resistant to corrosion
Marcus' body uses hydraulics to move and aluminum is used often in hydraulics and robotics because it's lightweight
he has heat vision and fireballs/energy spheres that come from his hands and aluminum can withstand extreme temperatures
NOT ONLY THAT, but Metal detectors need to have certain settings changed to detect aluminum over other metals, so that's why Leo's metal detector didn't detect Marcus
on that note, I like to think he's like a terminator and that he's got "living tissue over a metal endoskeleton" so his outside is flesh and blood, and the inside is all robotic
because I would honestly HATE to think he has plastic skin and artificial hair. That really bothers me fhdjfjk
The living parts of Marcus are Douglas' DNA for sure
Which goes really well with my headcanon that Marcus was designed to look like young Donald
Douglas just, casually reverse engineering his genetic code in order to make his surrogate robot son look like his brother
I also think that Marcus' bionic intelligence is what gives him his sentience. Like, a lot of himself comes from his programming, but I think the bionic intelligence gives him the ability to learn and adapt, and have negative emotions.
There's no way Douglas would design one of his creations to defy him, but he can't really control how Marcus uses his bionics. So that's kind of my reasoning for that plot-fix
I have more headcanons, but these are the ones I was thinking of off the top of my head since it's been a while since I thought about Lab Rats lore. Let me know if y'all want another of these! Or headcanons of other characters!

We never see an actual gravestone anywhere for Tachibana so Makoto going to the empty lot to pay respects is our only lead on where he's buried.
Sera, my man, my dude, my amigo- Please for the love of god pay for Tachi to be cremated and given a proper resting place so Makoto doesn't have to go to hell tower if she want's to lay a wreath for her bro 😭

I saw a few people mentioning the possibility of Eddie choosing to distract the bats knowing that he wouldn't make it and while I'm not saying that's true (I haven't watched the show, remember? I don't know what's going on most of the time) it does kinda make sense thinking of his character. Eddie knew that just because Vecna got defeated it didn't mean people would stop accusing him of murder. And even if they found a good cover story for him, some people will still think it was him. It would never be the same. The guy took the easy way out and painted himself as a hero in the eyes of the people he cared about. A win-win situation, right?
With that information in mind, I want you guys to remember the little moment between Dustin and Eddie- more specifically when Eddie said "I didn't run this time, right?". Following the show, yeah he didn't. He has run back then when Chrissy got cursed and then when Patrick also got cursed, but he didn't this time. BUT, if we assume that Eddie knew he wouldn't make it... we assume that it was Eddie's plan all along to die in the Upside Down...
He actually did run this time. He run away from what was going to follow. That no longer was an ask for validation of his development, it was Eddie trying to lie to Dustin and himself. He was trying to convince himself he didn't run this time. That he actually was courageous and protected Dustin from the demonbats.
But deep down he knew he has run, just like always. Because that's what he's good at, running away from problems. He died knowing that Dustin's words were a lie- that he really was no hero, only a coward.
He died for nothing. He died because he was afraid.

OH YEAH
For something that isn't particularly angsty, I was looking something up for our favorite dorky vampire, and ended up remembering a particularly fun fact:
Old mirrors were backed with silver, which is why vampires couldn't see their reflections. Nowadays they're backed with aluminum, so a vampire's reflection would actually be visible.
However, the house on the hill is very old. I imagine the mirrors in there would still be backed with silver, so if Streber were to, say, enter the house for one reason or another, he'd have no reflection. I think that would work great for some reconnaissance or blood-sucking, wouldn't you say? :)
I wouldn't suck their blood if I were him. eldritch magic tastes bitter. but reconnaissance? very plausible :)
