MY MAN CISCO DID NOT CANCEL A BUMBLE DATE JUST TO GET SHOT WHAT THE FUCK

[donaidk]

Back again to continue our Night Agent talk, thank you so much for responding to my previous one!

You didn’t make me feel bad about the spoiler thing, no worries there. Hubby and I were watching together and we also had to pause and just say “is that it?” multiple times when that reveal occurred. For all the advanced technology that was shown in the show it makes me think that maybe this universe didn’t really have as much of a social media presence as our society does as couldn’t Maddie just have posted online about her issues with her dad? Surely there were options available other than hiding a recording in a stuffed bear in the basement of their old house. But then that idea is belied by the fact that Peter was so harassed by the Rome Tome idiots which clearly were using an online presence. Also, why did Maddie wait so long to think about releasing that video if she hated her father so much??

In terms of your Maddie question, I totally suspected that the art teacher was in on the whole thing since he was first introduced. He was so creepily into her! That being said, I thought he was in on the WHOLE conspiracy and I was completely and utterly shocked when Colin Worley shot and killed him. His idea to seduce Maddie so that she’d shoot a PSA for the environmental group was dumb as fuck but his death scene was intense and I don’t think he deserved that.

Omg today has absolutely ran away from me 😭

I feel like it's a great example for how manipulation can fuck with someone's head. I remember a dialogue between Maddie and Chelsea where she mentioned how the lie is sometimes so comfortable that even she believes it once she falls into it. I could see her being scared about what her life would be like if she exposed the VP. No mum, no sister, no dad afterwards... sometimes staying in a shitty situation is less scary than stepping into a scary unknown. There may have been a point where she got fed up enough with him and posted it finally. But maybe her literal life being in danger was the "small" push she needed to finally act on it.

I remember staring at my screen when Colin showed up and just uttering "dumb fuck" once he was shot 😂 It was such a stupid way to go and also felt like overkill to get him killed off, but i get tying loose ends. Bit dramatic still 👀

I was - as usual - killing time today on TikTok, going down the usual peter sutherland rabbit hole and saw like 4 edits of the part whenErik and Chelsea arrest Peter and Rose at the pear and immediately thought about you and the ask that was sitting in my inbox. It reminded me how much I wanted Chelsea to be the one to stand on Peter's side after Farr pretty much stabbed him in the back, and how angry I was at Monks for being so cold towards the idea of Peter being innocent even though I think even his experience was telling him something was fishy about him being a suspect. Guess I got what I wanted in the end finally 🥺

You want me to talk about Verity Willis? I'll fucking talk about Verity Willis.

Spoilers for Agent of Asgard, maybe some other comics beyond that. Let's crack into it because I love Verity.

They're soulmates. The God of Lies and the Human Lie-Detector? Are you kidding? They were made for each other! They were meant to find each other, they were meant to oppose each other. If they aren't soulmates, they're (I'm not a Homestuck person, so I don't know what the opposite of soulmates are) meant to be rivals. But, to steal a phrase from Merlin, they are two sides of the same coin, essentially.

What the universe did not anticipate, however, is that Verity's ace. I don't make the rules; Verity is ace. And so, not a love interest. However, that doesn't mean they're not soulmates. They are, have been, always will be, in any life, in any world, in every iteration of Loki and every variant of Verity Willis, in every dimension, in every universe, queer-platonic soulmates. They're best friends. They're not "just friends". They're best friends.

You want me to talk about Verity? I'll fucking talk about Verity.

Even when shit hits the fan, even when Loki has been off doing god knows what shit for months on fucking end, and drives her insane to the point that she's like "I don't know if I can do this anymore, Loki," and he's like, "I'm sorry, I'll try to be better," she still sticks around and she still wants to be by his side.

And that's love, bitch! It may not be romantic love, it may not be sexual love, they may not be love interests. But that's love, bitch. He loves her. She loves him. They were made to be a match. Just not a romantic one. Just not a sexual one.

And in that moment of reckoning, that final moment when Loki is grappling with himself, and waffling between remaining in the void with the other versions of himself or going back to his brother's heartbreak and anger and Asgard's distrust and the All-Mother's betrayal and the chains of the future or die and not return. Or to transcend, undergo ego-death. To change, to transform, to do something that's ultimately going to be very painful and very hard, and what might not end up doing what he thinks it's going to do for him in the end. In that moment, she calls him. And he is on an alternate plane of existence, his phone should not even work, should not even exist. He is talking to previous iterations of himself and grappling with his own ego, he's not in a physical plane, he shouldn't even have his phone. But she calls him, to tell him she's on his side, still, after everything. She was there, when he told Thor what he did, she was already on the outs with him, before he told Thor what he did. She left.

But she's calling him, across planes. A love that transcends logic, that transcends planes, that transcends the existence or lack thereof of cellular towers. The human lie-detector, whose name literally means truth, calls the long-hated, long-condemned God of Lies, to tell him she's on his side, and that it's not the end.

Now, for my personal thought, I think she saves his life. I think there's a part of him, however small or large, that is not planning to come back from this, that is not planning to undergo this metamorphosis, that is like "What the fuck is the point? No one thinks I can change. Why the fuck should I change for them? Why the fuck should I change for me? Why the fuck should I even try? Why the fuck should I come back after I've changed, even if I manage it?"

But that one phone call from his best friend, from his fucking queerplatonic soulmate, saves my boi's life. And I don't think it's the first time she saves his life, nor am I convinced it will be the last. And she has no idea. Not a clue. She's got this lingering sense that he's about to do something stupid while they're on the phone, and she's like "Don't do something stupid." But I don't think she really knows that she saves his life.

And then he undergoes ego-death, and she is the first person he goes to. We don't know how much time passes between when he comes back from ego-death, figures out there's an incursion (I think that's what the event was. It might have been Ragnarok again), and goes to her. He could've gone to her and then been like, 'Oh shit, there's an incursion, I guess I'd better save her now.' Or if he knows there's an incursion and decides to save her first. We don't know, but we do know that they go to her first. And I think that's telling. Yes, Thor is mad at them; yes, the All-Mother betrayed them; yes, there's a sadistic future version of themself in their apartment right now (maybe), so there's not a lot of options. But they have options, and they go to her first.

Because they love her. And she loves them. Because they're best friends. And soulmates. And they were made for each other.

Literally. I mean, the future Loki created her for AoA Loki, more or less. He didn't plan on her eating the ring as a baby, but that's basically what happened.

You want me to talk about Verity Willis? I'll fucking talk about Verity Willis. Verity Willis is the shit. And I'm waiting for her to come back. Because she needs to. Because Loki needs her to. Because all this nonsense about being cursed and unloved and unwanted? Verity nips that shit in the bud. And Verity would stand there in front of Naglfar, and be like, 'Yeah, I know you think you're telling the truth, dipshit, but just you think it's true does not mean that it's true.'

And I think Loki needs to hear that. So they can stop feeling sorry for themself and start doing some shit.

This just in! I love the Anderson brothers.

Also some bonus Estevez, cause I love her too:

You mentioned that you’re always down to chat about The Night Agent so I was wondering when, if at all, did you start suspecting Diane Farr of being involved during your first watch through? My husband and I watched together and he swore that she was evil in the second episode but I didn’t see it until she called out Cisco.

Now I’m wondering if maybe I was wilfully not seeing the signs because of how much I wanted Peter to have someone in his corner both in his life so far and during the course of the show.

I'm so sorry I made you wait so long, today has been quite busy 🥺

The ask itself is quite a bit of spoiler, but gonna put it under a line just to hopefully hide a bit 😂

Firstly, I am horrible for remembering in which exact episode things happened, so I apologise in advance if I don't remember exactly which episode things were in. I'm not gonna lie, Farr was such a rollercoaster experience for me. I started out with hating her from moment 0. Then I was influenced by Peter's storyline for a bit and tried to give her a second chance, her being the one person in Peter's corner other than Rose even though I was quite vary with anyone from the White House, remembering how the first episode started with Emma saying the people there aren't trustworthy at the moment. I think my positive thoughts about her lasted like 2 episodes, at the end of the third she was so twitchy and I hated that Peter brought her to Rose and I decided I can't fucking like her she makes my skin crawl 😂 From then on I was pretty sure she would be our mole but a teeny tiny part in me sometimes thought (wished) maybe not? Even then for the remainder until she was found out my brain was like "she's trying to be too sweet with Peter while also being snarky and putting him into horrible situations where he can't really say no" so I think I was suspecting her from the moment we got to know her even if I tried to give her a chance.

You made me remember that I read someone criticising Hong Chau's acting, saying they hated her in the show and it should have been someone else in her place. I always think that if an actor can make you absolutely fall in love/despise their character they are doing a fantastic job in bringing that character to life. Their job is bringing an emotion out of you and if they manage to do that then they did quite well. In my opinion at least. I hated Hawkins too from the moment he showed up 😂
