Now that it's been nearly a week since the finale aired on the main channel, I can finally fully talk about Valerie's interview. Obviously, I'm going to go through it bit-by-bit soon, but something I want to point out first and foremost is how apt and spot on Valerie's description of Allison is.

In the interview, Valerie describes episode 1 Allison as 'self-centered' and 'mired in her own drama'. For those who might not know what that mean, I looked up the definition so you don't have to (because yeah, I didn't know, oops). Mired means to be 'stuck' or 'caught', making it the perfect word for episode 1 Allison. She is stuck in her own drama. She's living the TV drama life where everything is dank and gray and nobody ever wins. Where even when she tries to do something nice for herself, it never works out without any strings attached. Contrast that to the TV sitcom life her husband is living in which consequences just seem to pass him by. He can trap people in his basement, set light posts on fire, steal street signs, and even shoot someone, and have absolutely no negative consequences befall him. We're talking about a man who ate a key because he couldn't handle the possibility that he's an idiot.

Season 1 Allison is very stuck in a drama, since 'I want to kill my husband' is a very TV drama kind of plot. Even more than that, Season 1 Allison is self-centered. When people think 'self-centered', they usually imagine someone who's arrogant, or narcissistic, possibly cruel to those around them, but that's not entirely right with Season 1 Allison. She's self-centered in that she doesn't think about anyone outside of herself. She's so trapped in the plan to kill her husband that she doesn't think about the consequences for other people.

In Season 1, what harm did she cause? Off the top of my head, she lost Patty business, contributed to an assault that put Patty under suspicion, put even more strain on Sam and Jen's marriage, pushed Nick into losing a job he just got, which in turn caused him to speed up his timetable on killing Kevin, which then got him put in a coma. And might I remind everyone that the only reason she was even visiting Nick in the hospital in season 2 was because she was afraid he would wake up and tell everyone about her involvement.

Season 1 Allison wasn't paying attention to anyone else because she was too focused on what was happening to her. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it could have gotten someone she cared about in serious trouble. Another quick reminder that she specifically told Patty that she was going to put the heavy drugs in a burger she was making for Kevin, and then, without telling Patty, proceeded to leave that same burger where Kevin would find it with Patty's name on it (or possibly just with the implication that it was from Patty). Remember, the audience got to see Patty's reaction to Kevin eating the burger, not Allison. The audience were the ones privy to the information that Patty wholly thought Allison would frame her for murder.

Valerie describing Allison as self-centered is true because in the way Valerie clearly meant it- Everyone who read the article obviously picked up on what Valerie meant, but still- she really was self-centered. She was stuck in her own drama. It wasn't until she had conversations with Neil, Sam, and most importantly, Patty that she realized how self-centered she was and actually set out to try fixing that part of herself.

Part of Allison's story in season 2 was about not being as self-centered and seeing things from other people's points of view, especially Patty's. She didn't need self-worth or self-confidence to get away from Kevin in season 1 because she- and we as the audience- knew that it wouldn't be enough, not with how absolutely Kevin had wrecked her life to keep her dependent on him. She just needed to look at the damage she was leaving in her wake, have that conversation with Sam about how she hasn't changed a single bit, and realize that everything she's done since Kevin broke that table was causing other people harm. She was causing people harm the same way Kevin always has.

Just like Sam realized he was a lot like Kevin, Allison realized she was like Kevin in some ways and she needed to fix that for herself. That's why, when Kevin gave her the police documents, Allison stayed in the sitcom after he left. Because it was finally her own time to wake up and realize what was going on. She returned to the drama the second she threw the docs on the table and her immediate next course of action? "I'll fix it."

It's just such a good way to describe such a complex character as Allison even though it was still in that subtle 'use your intelligence to understand it' way that Valerie put into the rest of the show.

As I said, I'll be going through the rest of the interview, especially the significance of the portion on Neil, Patty, Sam, and what the interview means for Pattison. I just really needed to spill how actually brilliant but lowkey Valerie is when it comes to her main protagonist. Because let's be honest. There are plenty of people who got defensive, protective, and offended when they read that part for the first time. I don't even blame them, but looking at everything around that statement is a clear indication of what Valerie meant.

Anyway, I'm off to draft the next post. Thanks for reading!

(I also promise I'll make sure I spell Neil's name correctly in the post about him, since I've probably be spelling it wrong this whole time.)

Someone of Importance (A 35XP CMWGE Orange Quest)

Mirrored from Cohost: See the #ask again later tag for more posts in this series of midwestern gothic quests for Chuubo's Marvelous Wish-Granting Engine.

You're trying to take charge of things.

It could be something less formal, like your car club or your knitting circle; it might also be a big deal like a vestry position or a spot on the Town Council. You've got ideas about how things should be run around here, and no one will do it as well as you, you're sure!

If you're going to win, though, you're going to have to promise people a lot of things, and decide which of those promises you actually can (or want to) keep.

Major Goals:

The HG can award you 5 XP towards this quest when you:

[ ] Make a speech to an assembled group declaring your intention for what you'll do, if you achieve the position you seek. [ ] Decorate for a major event or celebration. [ ] Receive a proposal for (or propose yourself) an exchange of favors, if you're to achieve the position you're seeking. [ ] Get into a heated debate about policy or social values.

You can earn each bonus once, for a total of 20 XP.

Quest Flavor:

1/chapter, you can earn a bonus XP towards this quest when you:

Listen to a local or patriotic song, and narrate how it makes you feel—and how you react publicly.

Work your campaign into an unrelated conversation with someone else.

Drink lemonade or sweet tea, ideally out of a paper cup.

Share or receive a piece of petty gossip.

Make a superficial (or even genuine) demonstration of local spirit.

Make a promise to someone for their support.

Respond to a question with more confidence than you feel.

People that love "Kevin Can F*ck Himself" but haven't watched the first season of "Why Women Kill" should give the latter a chance.

A seemingly Stepford-esque housewife that is treated as a maid rather than a wife by her husband snaps and plans to murder him.

Two women that would usually be pitied against each other become friends for life.

Neil's idea of a cheer up

“She looked alive.” Neil’s voice next to him made him look back up. 

He squinted at Neil with his mouth open in disbelief and not for the first time since he met the guy, he wondered if they were from the same planet. Surely not, because what the f*ck. was that.

“Excuse me?” 

Aaron had no idea why he was responding to this. The shere ridiculousness of the situation made him forget where he was and why for a moment. HIs leg stopped bouncing and his heart slowed down a little.  

“You look worried.” That was Neil’s idea of an explanation, apparently. 

“Yeah, I am. My girlfriend has just been dr*gged by some a$$holes, almost r*ped and is laying unconscious in a hopsital and your idea of a cheer up is to tell me that she looked alive?” Aaron couldn’t believe that he was having this conversation. 

He knew Neil lacked any skills in social interactions, but that had to take the cake. He had half a mind to throw him out right now, but somehow found the presence of the other almost comforting.

The redhead only shrugged and looked into the distance. Aaron shook his head and decided to ignore the other man for the rest of time if not longer. 

Of course, he wasn’t lucky enough for Neil to shut up for good. 

“It wasn’t that bad, you know? People have gone through worse and made it, so there is no need to worry.” Neil was back at it with his poor excuse of comfort. “So she is going to be fine and you know I can take care of the di*ks that did this to her.” 

Neil’s voice was sure and sounded almost predatory, but the thought of Neil f*cking Josten, a guy who has either ran from every fight he had ever started or lost it spectacularly ‘dealing’ with anyone made him snort. 

“Oh yeah? What are you going to do? Run from them?” He asked, not really looking at Neil. 

“I know people.” Neil’s voice had a tone to it that made a shiver run down Aaron’s spine.

He looked up at Neil and saw honesty and determination in his stone cold, blue eyes. 

“Also I still have some money left, wouldn’t be the first time I used it to take someone out.” Neil added almost offhandedly, like him putting a hit on someone was a regular Tuesday for him. 

Aaron had no idea why, but the thought of it made him feel calmer. He leaned back in his seat and put his head on the wall behind himself, looking up at the ceiling. 

“Let’s keep that as a plan B.” He replied and Neil seemed satisfied enough.

That’s it. That’s the post.

Kevin Can Go F*ck Himself himself is reminding me of my last relationship in ways I should’ve expected, but somehow didn’t.

Like, the show really hits the nail on the head with how it portrays the the juvenile shit; and I’d kind of forgotten that - my ex and were long-distance, and every time I would call this man, all he would say into the phone was “Wazzup? Wazzup. Wazz [etc.]”. It almost felt like he didn’t want to talk to me. (He didn’t.)

It also does a good job reminding me of all the times and all the ways I felt diminished by him, and of the ways that I cut off more supportive relationships with people who did actually care about me, just so that I could pour more resources into the sinkhole that was him.

But the part that’s really getting me is the flip back to bright colour and sitcom lighting every time the shit-for-nothing husband POV kicks back in. Everyone else talks about how sobering the inverse is - when we switch from Sitcom Mode to Quality Television Mode when he leaves the frame - but for me, what really hits me in the gut is the idea that the man is absolutely oblivious to the woman’s suffering.

The negligence and the privilege of it.

I don’t think my ex was as oblivious to how he was destroying me - I think he drowned a lot of his guilt about that under gallons and gallons of Coors Light, in fact - but he did choose to ignore it, and make it my problem to figure out that he wasn’t really into me at all, even though he insisted he was. But yeah. Still shitty.

After Angel, I'm planning on doing a short show (less than 30 episodes).

shaunajeff is NOTHING like santa clarita diet. if anything it's kevin can f*ck himself. that man is putting her in a sitcom

[jacquesthepigeon]

That sitcom comparison reminded me of “Kevin can go f*ck himself” (sitcom parody where the competent wife gets sick and tired of her manchild husband and decides to just off him) and I can weirdly genuinely see Adult!Adrinette developing into this (minus the murder attempts)

That’s exactly the series that I was thinking of when I made the post

[opinated-user]

I found a show I think Lily would hate today. It’s called Kevin Can F*ck Himself. It’s essentially about taking a sledgehammer to all the sitcom tropes she loves so much. The dynamic between the main character and her husband is pretty much every “couple” Lily has ever written and the whole show is about showing how unhealthy a relationship like that would be in real life and the wife trying to get away from it however she can. There’s even a lesbian couple but they’re not underage and have actual characters instead of being “UwU soft” and fluffy 24/7.
