I am having an existential crisis about the fact that the characters I love most are universally denied a happy ending.

I Just Loved Her

Day 22 with Alt 2 Gunshot Wound for @ailesswhumptober's event

(this scene lives rent-free in my head and is among my most influential whump awakening moments)

I just watched a Pawter Simms vid and... killing Pawter off and kept her dead? And then moving the story from a really great interplanetary conflict into interstellar?

Still, the worst decision Killjoys has done. It took a long while for the writers to get out of the hole they dug for themselves.

I still love Killjoys but I also want to live in a world where Pawter didn't die or was revived.

jelco was definitely into dutch, the show just doesn't call attention to it the same way it does with pawter.

with pawter he does a lot of things that imply he's attracted to her.

when johnny kisses pawter in front of him in wild, wild westerley jelco delivers a snide comment about how she's "a little out of your league, killjoy". shaft in particular has a lot of hints: he brings her flowers and invites her to dinner with him, tells her they can work together to get revenge on the families that abandoned them, and then there's the line he has where he's like "i need you, pawter. my heart needs you." in context he's really referring to his heart defect, but it means something else when you take it out of context, and the look on his face when he explains his defect to her tells me he knew she was taking it out of context. then there's the scene in full metal monk where she threatens him and he tells her power looks good on her.

all of this points to two things: either he's seriously flirting with her or he's trying to unsettle / manipulate her. another line in shaft ("back home, you wouldn't even need to look at me. but here you have to do what i say") hints that it's at least partially the latter, but lovretta seems to have left it up to interpretation.

with dutch, it's a lot more subtext.

when they first meet, this is his reaction to her cutting herself free from her bindings. he doesn't even look surprised, just turns his head because she's gotten his attention, and even stops his guards from intervening. he wants to see how this plays out, she's impressed him.

"are we going to serve this warrant for you or not?" "well, i think you'll do nicely."

his tone and the way he looks at her? definitely flirting.

the office scene is like this, too. jelco's explaining to the trio how his job is to put down the rebellion and whatnot. he gets into all of their personal spaces, but the camera lingers the longest on dutch when he talks to her last. and so we get this shot that i think about constantly.

(also, lol at the fact that when the camera is on jelco, you can see johnny looking to the side at d'avin in the background like "you seeing this shit?" he knows.)

this is the last time we see them interacting like this, since plot moves dutch away from the conflict with jelco and he becomes the antagonist more directly to johnny and pawter. until we get to johnny be good.

i didn't realize it at first, but there's a scene in this episode that feels like another hint when you look at it. dutch and pawter break into jelco's office and accidentally set off the security alarm, which triggers jelco to pop up via holophone. excuse the blurriness, but there's a shot in this scene that frames jelco directly between both dutch and pawter.

when he comments on them being in his office, remarking dryly that it's the "cherry on my day," they both think he's referring to themselves.

"i think he means me." "he probably means me."

coincidence? maybe. maybe not. but the subtext is there regardless.

also the fact that he pulls the exact same tactic with them, making himself necessary so that they don’t just immediately kill or discard him. “you help me, i’ll help you” with pawter and “you’re going to have to save me” with dutch. and lovretta’s comments about heist, heist baby and how jelco made a deal with borna for her protection, not his, and that’s how he fell in love with her … something about how that’s a common thread here.

heist, heist baby also canonizes the fact jelco is into strong women since he more or less says that about his wife, but that was already implied in his interactions with both dutch and pawter. i have a lot of issues with how jelco was written in that episode which i mention in his meta over here, but at least that part makes sense.

i think in general it's a power thing since jelco admits he likes people that are hard to read and neither dutch nor pawter are willing to show weakness to him, but that doesn't mean genuine attraction to either or even both is out of the question.
