You 🤝 me

Insane over Mustardseed

(he makes me feral I wanna put him in my mouth and chew him)

God I love him so much, he goes from goodie two shoes Edgar Lastname to raising Hell and high water to destroy Base so he can run away with his husband for the chance of whatever happy ending he can get.

I love his sassy little texts and the scene where he loses his patience and threatens to kill Mikey. He's everything to me. Favorite doomed Edgar iteration who now is either rotting away in the Compound or has figured out how to work his way up the ladder.

I think he should come back and ruin someone's life again. He's absolutely show stopping.

ALSO. make me into something (useful) and triangle shaped wound are two of my favorite character songs on the show.

I ended up watching Nimona the other day with my partner we went to the fair after (not a fun time but that’s another story) but back to Nimona I adored the movie and am getting my partner the book tomorrow for their birthday. Anyway go watch Nimona I liked it a lot.

Actors who are used to doing live action work aren’t incapable of doing good voice work and they never have been, it’s just that voice acting requires additional skills that they probably haven’t learned or had time to practice. The real issue comes when that live action actor has to decide if they are going to try to learn those skills and give a good voice performance OR if they’re just going to cash a paycheck, and so far it’s very fucking clear which actors in the Mario movie are trying to give a good voice performance and which ONE is just cashing a paycheck.

*Basically you could request profile pictures, wallpapers (phone or desktop), headers, etc. of characters and/or fandoms that I'll make on an app called VaporGram. I'll mostly stick to fandoms I'm in, which I'll list if there's enough interest, but could do others I'm not in, but they'll likely be of lower quality.

I have no interest in having people pay for them since they rarely take more than a few minutes to an hour to finish. I just think it would be fun to do this. Here's a few examples of some I've done, you can also find more by looking through the vaporgram tag on my blog.

Out of all the things that threw me through a loop in the mario movie, the bros taking their gloves off was the most oddly jarring. I said out loud “they have flesh hAnds!-”

Thought about your Edgar post for like 5 seconds too long, and I wanted to say how much I think that it seems that Mike is really judging their characters based on personality rather than actions if that makes sense?

They've both done some truly awful and heinous things - Edgar especially - but when not caught up in time travel bullshit, Edgar is a genuinely kind and compassionate person. Something that, as his boyfriend, Mike sees a lot of. Mike on the other hand, can be a bit of a bitch sometimes. (said with all the love in my heart of course)

Obviously Mike Walters is the true champion at seeing his loved ones through rose-tinted glasses with Edgar being one of the two most blatant examples (the other being Anne imo), but I do think there's something about the Mikes saying that the truth is what they feel to be emotionally true. They have flaws that they don't like about themselves, whereas Edgar is someone they love, and someone who loves them back. They see a lot of cruelty from the both of them, but they also see a lot of kindness and love from Edgar. Therefore in the Mikes' eyes, they are a worse person than Edgar.

Not sure if I quite articulated this great, but your post got me thinking!

(also when I say Mike, I mean Mike Walters as a species)

No no you're absolutely right and I am obsessed with how Mike says things that feel true in the moment even if they are blatantly wrong or impossible to prove (him telling Matt he loved him may be a bad example since later Mikey says he was only trying to be nice but I feel like there is certainly more to that whole scene than Mikey was willing to admit to Matt or his podcast listeners at the time)

And I feel like even though Edgar has obvious personality flaws as well, like he can be petty and mean (re: Rugby) he often speaks over Mike as if Mike's feelings don't matter (making decisions for him, disregarding his opinions and emotions during missions, treating him like a warm body to be sent out into the field), or manipulating him (Dylan mentioned in the commentaries how often Edgar puts Mikey in a position where he's the "adult" and Mikey's the "petulant child" re: 118) - and it seems like the Mikes do sort of know about it. Like Michael's still holding a grudge about Rugby so he's clearly not blind to Edgar's less than savory moments.

But that won't matter to them because in the end they will look past facts.

I'm also fascinated at how much of an unreliable Narrator Mike Walters is. Even when we have an episode where he's speaking to other Mikes or to himself, we can't fully trust what he says because he will apply his emotions to a situation and make decisions based on that.

We rarely do see Edgar and the others alone in scenes where they are themselves without Mikey interjecting with his own narrative. Which makes sense, as this is WOE.BEGONE and its the story of Mike Walters, so we see the world through their eyes.

I think you can probably say Edgar is a better person than Mike though and I am completely agreeing with your points. But at the same time I do think its funny how Mikey leads us to believe that Edgar is perfect and holy while his boyfriend just can't fucking wait to get his hands dirty.

WOE.BEGONE is a show about power and how it can corrupt someone and I think Edgar is just as good of an example as Mikey. Mikey might've started as someone who was very happy to get into the time-travel murder game as he accuses himself of being in Episode 21, but Edgar goes from being scared and unsure to the actual leader controlling the fates of all of Base.

For the book ask! How about 13? :}

13. What is one genre/trope you are absolutely not engaging with this year?

I will not be reading any romance. Which I already tend to avoid but I gave one a try last year and my decision was strengthened lol. I don't mind a subplot but I just don't find it compelling enough for a whole book lmao

Warren/Gordon for the ship bingo!

Thank you for the ask!

They hold a special place in my heart. Mind you I haven’t listened to the newest stuff yet (I’m in denial) but me and somebody I consider my best friend talk about them a lot. I don’t really know how to put into words just know I’m shaking them around like a rabid animal.

I think something that adds to the high divorce rate of John and Arthur, is the fact that when Arthur starts to lose it slightly, due to normal human things like stress, trauma, lack of food/sleep or injury, John also starts to lose it because Arthur is behaving in a way that is not favourable which stresses him out. This of course in turn stresses Arthur out even more which stresses John out further et cetera, et cetera

You said you wanted Malevolent asks, so I'm here to ask who your favourite minor character is? Someone who's only in one or two episodes or so

hmm this is a tough one, does it have to be a voiced character?

if yes, then the guy who tried to sell arthur guns and a fake id, and if not literally every taxi driver and/or percival
