#wally really is just such a sweet himbo

[what-a-con]

Going episode by episode in what I loved in Unsleeping City. Spoilers so warning!!

Episode 1: Start Spreading The News

For starters, love the title. Nothing like a Sinatra reference when talking about NYC. Starts off with Brennan really jumping into how much of a New Yorker he is with both the joy he describes the things he loves about New York and how gross it is lol. Also the hate that all the people who've lived in New York have for SantaCon. Just a fun little aside.

Pete's intro is perfect for him. I loved him from the first moment and was so invested in him. Such a complex character. A wild magic drug dealing trans sorcerer who always wears a cowboy hat and who is a total mess. Like, the biggest mess. He's such a mess I love him. The fear in his eyes when his dad appears and the bubble scene with his dad is amazing. Nod is such a pretty place and Pete's first visit is so insane. Brennan really had some fun with that one.

Sophia "Bikes" Lee Bicicleta has the funniest introduction and by God is she a hoot and a half. Knowing all I know about Dale makes this all the more painful ngl. Her crying over that ladies hair is amazing. Also, as someone who lives with a housewives fan and enjoys a bit of it as well, the way he got the accent down perfectly is so much fun. She is also a mess in a different way and she's the best. The short stories line was so fucking amazing. The bachelorette party and the following the guys is such a cool scene. And her alluding to Kugrash is so funny.

Ricky Matsui is my emotional support himbo and I love him! He's so pure and such a civic responsible nerd it gives him magic and I love that. So sweet and so genuine and so hot and so dumb. The selfie message to Esther and his obvious crush are so cute. Esther is so damn cool and competent. And so very patient with Ricky lol. Ricky rescuing Pete is such a great way for them to meet and the beginning of a beautiful bromance.

The minute Kingston Brown from Uptown was introduced, I knew he would be the coolest person ever and I'm so glad I was right. And how his powers manifest as the city taking care of him like he takes care of it is beautiful. And I still can't believe that the butt guy became and actual important part of the plot. Like, the heck lol?

Kingston and Pete's scene is so fun. The arrival, the cure, seeing

And then comes the only rat I will ever like. Kugrash being introduced with Wally is so sweet and funny. A dumpster druid is such a great idea and no one could have played it like Murph. And him meeting Sofie is so cute I love it. And also I love how down for anything Sofia is.

Misty Moore is an icon and if she existed irl I would be obsessed with her. And I love how she does absorbs glamour but she also does her best to inspire and bring joy to the people who she takes it from. Also she's such a bitch boss I love her lol.

The lion boyfriends at the library are so cute and Alejandro is the best. That explaining of what the Unsleeping City is so fun. And of course the place they all meet up at the library. It's truly a magical place. And I agree, an empty Time Square is so fucking creepy.

All and all, I pretty much loved the whole intro episode as a really way to get to know the PC's you will come to laugh, cry and freak out with.
