got a message out of the blue about that 'why Batman doesn't kill' explanation I left on someone else's post like two years ago but it was just "wait is Alfred dead????" and I sort of forgot that most of tumblr Batfam fandom doesn't actually read comics and so largely has no idea that Bane killed Alfred back in 2019 and he's stayed dead since

s4 tomshiv is murdering me...the tension is so peak, matthew macfadyen and sarah snook have so much fucking chemistry, the history between tom and shiv is more dynamic and layered with every line of dialogue, they're insane, i'm insane, never has the line between love and hatred, desire and disgust, been more fluid, i'm going to gnaw off my own arm...thank you and goodnight
Alan Wake (whose face and voice we find on Thomas Zane and Casper Darling, respectively) ends up in an antagonistic relationship with Alex Casey (whose face and voice we find on Sam Lake and Zachariah Trench, respectively).
Casper Darling and Zachariah Trench? By the end, their relationship was antagonistic.
The Casey-Trench voice was once a guide-friend for Wake-Darling.
And then, they were fighting.
One was suspicious of the other, thinking he was lying, hiding something.
While the other was unaware of the darkness that was growing and consuming the former's mind, his ignorance letting it fester. Feeding it, even.
The original faces, Thomas Zane and Sam Lake? In this latest iteration they've spoken with their own voices while in the Dark Place, only in the presence of a camera.
Alan Wake and Zachariah Trench? In the end, while in a nightmare dimension, both get shot by a woman who both of these men meddled in their lives, threatening the well being of their loved one.
At least one had a hand in his fate, willing it, accepting it. The other? He was fully gone, his will overtaken by the nightmare.
A version of Alex Casey did say it after all. He and writer, they were the same.
And finally, the real Sam Lake? By happenstance he offered his face for a collaborative project, and became a symbol. Even if he tried to fight it, tried to replace it, he had to concede. The story demanded it, as if writing it wasn't enough, the narrative claimed his visage.
There's no need to make overt mentions or put the image of the Ouroboros in posters. The serpent is interwoven in the fabric of the narrative itself.
my biggest criticism of hatchetfield remains that they've set up some incredibly interesting relationship dynamics early on and since refused to explore them any further, like how many more new characters are they going to introduce and explore before I get the Emma and Tom story I so righteously deserve-
What are Ice and Mav up to in the present day? Did they participate in Barbenheimer? As Navy men did they get caught up in the sea shanty craze of a few years ago? Are they vaccinated? Have they ever gone on a <s>gay</s> cruise?
1. enjoying retirement together post ice being secnav & ice recovering from cancer (being rich & working on cars & planes & sometimes speaking at aiaa/Mitchell institute/csis/dod/doe/dos conferences)
2. no, they will wait till oppy hits netflix to partake & chill. They will not watch barbie ever no interest in women’s rights at all

4. Yes happily but: do not talk to mav about covid politics you will regret it
5. No. who tf wants to go on a cruise especially a.) during global pandemic b.) when you’re retired high ranking officers in the us navy & one of you literally is an ace and bombed another country and the other one of you is literally thefucking secretary of the navy. No
