#I'll probably only do this one episode

[kvetchinglyneurotic]

i have a fic planned where one of the chapters takes place during jamie's stint on lust conquers all so i was like. ok i'll watch a season of love island uk (which i gather is the closest real-world equivalent) for research but i looked it up and all the season have like 50-60 episodes??? and they're not even short episodes each one is like 50 minutes long??? i think i see why reality tv has such a massive problem with exploiting/overworking the cast and crew. like idk maybe if the season wasn't 58 episodes you wouldn't be having this problem

#that's 48 hours of my one and only precious human life i'm not watching all of that #jamie's kicked off mid-season so i'll probably do like episodes 1-2 and then like 15 and 30 or something #i knew the seasons were a bit longer than scripted shows but i assumed that meant like 25-30 episodes

Heyhey..h um could you write some fluff/comfort with reader x 2bhank? Pretty pls? Like where the reader has been depressed(?)/burnt out for a few months and has been going on less and less missions and one day just refuses to leave their room for one self deprecating reason or another so 2b and hank try making them feel better in their own ways

Very self indulgent request I know but sometimes you gotta give yourself a little treat <:]

Hey! Sorry, I sort of misread this and thought you wanted 2BHank helping a burnt out reader, so I wrote that instead ^^; Again, I'm really sorry about that!

2BHank with a Burnt-Out!S/O

For as dense as Hank could be most of the time, even he can tell that you haven’t been doing too well as of late. At first he’d think you were just sick and needed some time to rest, which meant he would take on the missions you would have gone on otherwise. He was a competent grunt in his field, he could accomplish just about any task given to him. 2B, while he could sense that something was up with you, would let Hank do just that so you could recover a bit. He didn’t think you were just sick, he somehow could feel that it was something worse, something that wouldn’t go away by just letting you rest for a few days, but he left it at that. After all, you did go on missions again, some with Hank, Sanford or Deimos, some on your own. However, at some point, you just hid away from everyone, shying away from the dim light of the sun as well. Hank wanted to see you, he really did, but you wouldn’t open your door. Why? Were you doing alright? It was obvious you had been “sick” again as of late, but even he stopped buying it at some point. While he wouldn’t be too concerned about your physical wellbeing, you could handle yourself in a fight, he’d kick the door in anyway to see if you were there in the first place.

Lo and behold, you were in your room after all, lying under the blanket, not moving, merely sighing as you heard the door fall. Polite as he could be, Hank picked up the door and leaned it against the wall before walking up to you and sitting down on your bed. He’s not usually one for too much talk, but he would ask you what’s wrong, why you didn’t open the door and why you’ve been “sick” so often as of late. He won’t judge you, but he just wants to know the reasons. When you tell him you’ve simply been burnt out on it all, he wouldn’t know what you mean. Hank genuinely doesn’t know what burnout is, so you’d have to explain it to him. But even then, I don’t think he’d really understand the gravity of the situation. You’re tired? Then take some time off. He tries, but it’s not that simple.

The open door would catch 2B’s attention and he’d enter to check up on you, involving himself in the conversation as well. He, too, would ask you how you’ve been feeling and what has been the matter. When you tell him you’re pretty sure you’re burnt out, he’ll sit down on the bed and ask you how he could help. He may not be an expert by any means, but at the very least he knows that this will likely be something that will last a long time. Although he may not be too happy about that, he won’t push you to be better immediately. Will also explain the situation to Hank, whose gears have started turning. If you know how they can help you, that’s great. There’s no one solution that fits all. A few people at S.Q. have been burnt out from all the missions they had to go on, so you’re definitely not the first.

2B will let you rest for the time being. If you ever feel up to it, then he’ll send you on a small mission that doesn’t involve too much danger, such as picking something up from a vendor. However, he won’t have you fight for your life while you’re burnt out, those tasks will be left to Hank and the others. 2B will also be checking up with you more often. He’s not the best with his words when it comes to more emotional things, but he tries. Will comfort you to the best of his ability and won’t stress you out about all those things. You need rest, that much is obvious, so he’ll let you have just that. S.Q. will continue to perform. If anyone ever talks badly about you, then they’ll be sent to him and will have a stern talking to. No one will talk shit about you as long as he has something to say about it. Overall, he’ll be very compassionate about it all. If you need something from him, he’ll give it to you, just give him the word.

When it comes to slowly reintroducing you to small things, it will actually be Hank who does that. He just really wants to spend time with you and 2B, but you’ve been so distant as of late. But he remembers 2B’s words and won’t force you to do anything, but will ask you if you’re up for something small. This might start out with something along the lines of playing cards or board games with him. If you say yes he’s actually over the moon and his metaphorical tail will start wagging. Slowly, he’ll bring you more and more things to do. New things for you to try, and old things you used to enjoy before you got burnt out. Naturally, there’s no pressure from his side, he just really wants to have an excuse to spend time with you. And if you simply do something along the lines of knitting while he’s sitting on the floor, just watching you, then he’s content.

Overall, neither of them will blame you for what happened. In fact, they’ll try to help you to get better again. If you ever just want the two of them to stay with you, then you can ask them to. Of course, if they’re going on a mission, then they won’t have too much time to cuddle with you. However, you’re more than welcome to call on either, or both, of them to just get something off your chest as well, they’re more than happy to listen. 2B and Hank just wanna see you smile again. If it takes a lot of time, then so be it, but they both just hope things will go back to how they used to be. They’ll both do just about anything for you, so don’t be afraid to ask them for anything at all, you’ll likely get it eventually.

Equinox Specific VOY Memes

#I had a ton for Equinox specifically for some reason?? so they all go together now #Tuvok 'if the captain's wrong - no she isn't Voyager vs Chakotay 'you can't just torture people what's wrong with you' Voyager #this episode is so interesting to me from a specifically these 3 characters perspective #It's probably just Tuvok being underwritten but literally the only thing he really does in this episode is tell #Janeway maybe they DON'T have to promise a ship full of people's heads on a silver platter to these aliens?? and then promptly shut up about #it when Janeway says 'do you wanna go in the brig????' and it's never addressed. There's not even like a 'Tuvok would have mutinied against #you with me' line or a short scene where he and Chakotay talk about how Janeway's acting which leads me to assume that Tuvok #would NOT have mutined and was NOT even going to try again to convince her not to execute these people #It's just interesting!!! That these two exemplary Starfleet officers and highly upright people are like 'Killing people...is fine.' and #Chakotay (ex Maquis - criminal & terrorist) is like 'NO I T' S NOT???? WHAT ARE YOU DOING???' #devotion that twists...devotion to a cause. to a feeling. to a person.... #Chakotay is ultimately the one who says 'I can't go there with you.' and Tuvok says (silently) 'I'll stay by your side no matter what.' #Chakotay DOES say he wasn't going to mutiny in the end bc it would be 'crossing a line' (confusing) but he was ready to - he threatened to - #and it's easy to say you weren't going to do it after everything's settled #just their differing reactions (and non reactions) to Janeway in this episode...much to think about #st voyager memes #Chakotay #Janeway #Tuvok #It's so funny that after ALL THAT Janeway sort of sheepishly goes up to Chakotay and is like 'hah a...w hew....I got a little carried away #there huh?? hah a thanks for not being all weird about it <3' #you MAY have had reason to stage an itty bitty mutiny of your own <- like a mutiny is a shindig Chakotay might have held in the mess hall #Janeway you are a fascinating creature #[Do you think Captain Janeway utilized girl power when she tortured that crewman?] Chakotay says no - Tuvok says 'maybe'

Johnny’s Money

Can we look at the money we see Johnny have in Sing 2? 

One, his wallet is literally falling apart at the seams which supports my last theory. Two, the money in his wallet in the above picture is wrinkled to all get out, the money he places on the table is very much not. 

That stood out to me in particular because we know the money on the table is $50, all in smaller bills by the looks of it, so it’s not money from a heist (especially with those being so long ago), and it’s more than likely not how he gets paid for his work at the theatre. No theatre as successful as the New Moon Theatre would be paying their employees in small bills, so why does he have so many in such good condition?

The money still in his wallet appears to be two small bills, a $20 and a $5(?) and are pretty wrinkled. They look like they might be change due to how fast they appear to have been shoved in the wallet and since Johnny just bought a skateboard, that’s what I’m going with. The money he probably used to buy that skateboard was more than likely his own from working at the theatre, and he probably withdrew it from his bank account before the trip to avoid losing his credit/debit card (the boy grew up in major cities and keeps his wallet in the inside pocket of his jacket, he’s all too aware of pickpockets).

Now on to the theory. The fact that all the clean, unwrinkled money is exactly $50 stood out to me. It seemed like an oddly specific amount to mention, so I looked it up. And it turns out that buses between Las Vegas and Los Angeles, the real world base locations of Redshore and Calatonia, can range from $25 to $60. Johnny might have some money he’s found or been given by Rosita or Buster during the trip, but it definitely wouldn’t be $50 worth, and would likely look more like the crumpled bills still hastily shoved in his wallet. So who would have given him money, a fair bit of money to be honest here, in neat, clean bills? 

Well it’s obvious, Marcus would. Johnny and his family don’t have a ton of money in Sing 2, more than in the first movie to be fair, but still nowhere near the “$50 being play money” mark. They would more than likely be overly careful with their money, keeping it in good condition so there’s no chance of it being rejected for being a damaged bill (yes, that can happen), so the neatness of the bills would make sense. 

Therefore, my theory is: Marcus gave his son enough money to make sure he could get home if he needed to. He made sure Johnny had an out if need be, could afford a bus ticket even if it was a more expensive one. And judging by the family’s rough finances, that was probably all the spare money they had laying around. That was what they had left from costumers after bills had been payed and he gave it all to Johnny just in case he needed it.

#sing #sing 2 #sing johnny #sing marcus (only mentioned) #in today's episode of Gooseless vastly overthinking things #if y'all had the patience to read through all of that you're a saint #i can just picture marcus driving johnny to the bus station that night and pressing the money into his hand when johnny went to get out #johnny would definitely protest but marcus would insist that it's just in case and to ease his dad's mind a bit #it ended up coming in handy #marcus got another kid out of it #and johnny got a sibling #ok let's be realistic here #johnny's family is probably one of the poorest in both movies only being above buster (Sing 1) and Nooshy (Sing 2) #they're doing better in sing 2 but that's because all 4 of them have well paying jobs now and nana payed off their debt #i'm very sleep deprived #i'll edit more in the morning #I know most of these are headcannons #i probably should have said that earlier but oh well

[magentagalaxies]

in an unexpected turn of events i'm having to edit down the content in my aubrey monologues so that i can actually fit all four of them in my final performance for my standup class and on the one hand it sucks bc i really love some of the jokes i have to cut but on the other hand someday i'll be able to write more monologues and possibly expand upon this cut material so i can get a whole monologue on a topic that would've just been an aside

#the actual standups in my class who have only ever done a tight five having to stretch their new material to fit the 20 minute final #vs me‚ an extremely extra fag who's used to writing full-length scripts‚ realizing the 3 monologues i've timed already add up to 20 min #and i'm working on a fourth one that works better as an opener than any of the existing pieces so it has to get in #(it'll be short tho i'm making sure of it. it's just like ''here's some material about aubrey's relationship to zir mom!'') #(then immediate segue into the uncle reg bit) #got the catcalling monologue down to 5 minutes and 30 seconds when the first draft was nine minutes #(tbh i'm fine with most of those cuts i think they were mostly filler) #(there's a bit about androgyny that i liked that i cut but tbh it doesn't work as just one paragraph it needs more nuance) #the uncle reg monologue is having the ''dumped at the pride parade'' thing trimmed down which is funny bc that was the original premise #tbh i could probably stretch my toronto pride material ft. uncle reg to a full 20 minutes bc the first stream of consciousness was so long #i wrote it right after i myself got back from toronto pride and tbh i actually wrote it as the outline for a sitcom episode #so the monologue version is very reduced down bc there were so many details that didn't fit in #and i'm realizing the material about the person who dumped aubrey should be its own monologue that i'll do another time #and maybe even add in the rest of the sitcom-style story at some point bc tbh that's some of my favorite aubrey material i've come up with #and the cishetman monologue is getting the intro part about facetime trimmed a bit bc it meanders #and the ''sugar and spice and everything nice'' joke is being cut even tho i like it bc i actually have a ton more material in my notebook #that's just me riffing on how weird those expressions are. and the material isn't polished but i could make it something later #the song isn't being trimmed bc it has a very specific run time and imo is the strongest. so that's my closer #anyway thank you to everyone reading my aubrey updates i'll be sure to post the final 20-minute-special on youtube #and i hope i get to do more monologues soon so i can put the other ideas mentioned here (as well as some i haven't) out into the world

Rise of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers - Evil Empire Aliens

After 10,000 years... It’s free.

(Story-relevant info and context under the cut)

Dr. Finster has been hearing whispers in his head for the past 50 years, roughly since he acquired this strange artifact found on the Moon. It started sparingly at first, once or twice a year at most, however in the past few months - since the appearance of Goldar and the Power Rangers - they’ve become more frequent. Louder. It says it can help Promethea defeat these invaders, help the Power Rangers, help the Earth.

It just needs energy.

An alert comes in on the base’ security systems, Goldar has appeared just outside the perimeter. The voice beckons Finster to go.

“The Power Rangers will come. I just need the energy from their transformation. Take me to them.”

Finster resists at first, but is compelled, sneaking himself and the artifact out in the panic as Goldar makes his approach to Promethea base. Of course, he’s intercepted by the Power Rangers, their teleportation scrambling Promethea’s video relays. No one in the base sees what happens next. But they feel it.

The Rangers - too occupied with their battle to notice Dr. Finster hiding nearby in the desert brush with the artifact - call their Dinosaur powers and transform, releasing a pulse of multicolored energy.

And the artifact opens.

Everything is swallowed in darkness in an instant as a shape begins to form between the two factions. Piercing red eyes. Gold markings. And sharp claws.

The shadow wastes no time in attacking the Rangers, taunting them. It calls them “incomplete”, “weak” and “lacking”. Questions where their sixth is.

Beaten down and near defeat, the Rangers make a stand. They refuse to give up, combining their attacks to deal a solid strike to the shadow.

It shudders from the damage, weakened.

And retreats.

Goldar withdraws as well. There is no honor in taking another’s kill. He must go find where the shadow went, and leaves the Rangers to lick their wounds.

Following their defeat, Alpha V alerts the Rangers to something new he’s detected. Something that may lend them the help they desperately need.

Or rather, someone...

Meanwhile, the shadow streaks across the desert to the city, finding a lone girl in a green hoodie in an alleyway. It senses... Insecurities. Loneliness. Strife. Exactly what it can take advantage of. It draws itself over the girl, taking root in her mind and controlling her body.

Later, in the body of the girl (or Tommy Oliver, as it had found in her head) and having created its own garments with its magic, the shadow finds Finster at his small apartment downtown. It thanks him for freeing it. But she requires more from him.

“What was it you called my urn? Rita Repulsa? Yes... yes, I like that name.”

#rotmmpr #mmpr #mighty morphin power rangers #power rangers #rita repulsa #tommy oliver #putting the story stuff under the read more so its not intrusive on anyone's dash lmao- #but there's neat stuff in there #only one more design until i'm fully done with rise s1 stuff and we can get into s2 #which uhh you probably guess is based on Green with Evil #season 1 is essentially an extended Day of the Dumpster #so it'd have a few more comedy-centered episodes than the other planned seasons #with story ones thrown in intermittenly #anyway rita's shadow form (Atir. which we'll get to when i post the next design. which also obvs is gonna be Zordon) #was one of the first things i thought of when i first started on the design series so lmao- #i just like big vague shadow shapes. and her taking over tommy's body ties into some Good Story Shit later on so i'm excited to share that #when i do a season 2 wrap up #anyway. next design's Zordon and then i'll do a Season 1 summary post #my art

Seeing terribly stupid moments in the whole Madagascar franchise is so exciting to me cause I get to clip them and share them with my silly little Tumblr audience it's alot of fun

#we're almost done watching s2 of tpom though #one more season after that.. and it only has half the episodes that s1 and s2 have #after that we'll be done :[ #I'm probably gonna check out little wild but I'll do that by myself #and I'm starting to run out of ahkj clips too #only have a handful of movie clips left #less than a handful probably #man. #this is a sad realisation #not ooc #tpom #ahkj

okay but. how am I supposed to ever watch another show again? I'll never love a show this much again. I'll never love all the characters in any show this much again. I'll never have an actual breakdown over a show's final episode again. I just want Leverage forever :(

#I'm sure I feel like this every time but #no actually not really #it's normally much more. focused #on one person usually #which. I mean there is Eliot. but he's not even my favourite character (he's sharing that spot with Parker and Hardison. they're all my #favourite. I can't separate them!!) #but it's just. *everything* #I don't want to watch anything else ever #because why #it's not leverage so what's the point #when did I start watching this show again? like a month ago? but it's. everything now. #I only have the second season of redemption left :( i don't know what to do after that #I'll probably.. start over again #that would be the third time I'm watching it (currently rewatching with my husband as well) #I don't do that. ever. I can't stand watching things again unless it's been a long long time or if it's a comfort show (like elementary) #I'm just. man I fucking love this show #😭 #just having Hardison back in the last episode of season one brought it all back man. it reminded me how much I love them all #they're just. family #personal #leverage #leverage redemption

#NOT adding a don't care option. if you desperately need to click a button just pick one at random #im probably not even going to listen to the results of this and just do whatever anyway #im just curious what the 3 people who are gonna answer this will think #also uhh. i have STARTED kirakira and healin' good #on ep 21 and 12 respectively #yes i paused watching kirakira right before parfait. what of it #does it make the most sense to finish kirakira then? yeah it does. but idk. #all of the ones i havent even started/have only seen the first few episodes of are all in a row chronologically which is funny #because it's purely a coincidence #ok i'll maintag. #precure #my epic swag adventures

[welcometogrouchland]

Was contemplating whether or not to rewatch the specials before watching and dreaming comes out and then I remembered that the last time I watched thanks to them and for the future was...(checks notes) 20 days ago (KEEP IN MIND I'VE ALREADY SEEN THE SPECIALS AT LEAST 4 OTHER TIMES) I think it's safe to say that. I Do Not Need To Do That

#ramblings of a lunatic #toh #i saw that post about needing to rewatch the source material to renew your fandom license (which was a good post and joke) #and now I'm too over cautious. i have seen this show so many fucking times #admittedly it's mostly out of love but some of it is out of neurosis #which is just a little fucked up #tbh rn if i could rewatch any episodes it'd probably be early season 1 since a) they're the most lighthearted #and b) they're the most far removed in my brain rn #I'm so excited for watching and dreaming but I physically cannot fucking think about it or I'll die #I'm rewatching ninjago w/ my friends rn (after having not seen it in YEARS and also only ever watching the first 2 seasons) #and let me tell u it is a Great distraction from the dread #like i said a while back I'm gonna be binging baby comfort media after the finale 😭😭😭 #in the week leading up to it i think I'll make a bingo card with my friends tho depending on if we get new stuff #we got the thumbnail and i feel like a week before the episode they tend to post a clip or two from the ep? #thanks to them had both clips released concurrently at nycc (which was a good few weeks before the episode aired. maybe even a month) #and for the future got one clip a week or so before airing and then the day before airing as well i think #so I'm intrigued to see what the promo timeline will be like for watching and dreaming? they probably can't do too much #not without spoiling us lmao #maybe a week or few days before we'll get just a poster and maybe (if they have time) some crew art/promos #we'll see tho #(<- getting caught up in irl minutiae helps me distract myself. lol <3)

I have finally finished going through my Critical Role tag!

That's 128 pages of fixed tags, once I cleaned up unnecessary duplicate posts, and now it should be pretty easy to navigate. Everything that's tied to a campaign is either CR1, CR2, CREXU, or CR3, and everything else has a cast member's name tagged.

Characters now have only one tag per character, stuff involving most or all of a party is now tagged as the party (Vox Machina, TM9, Bells Hells), and I have tags for CR NPCs, CR Guests, and CR Setting. So if I forget what tag I used for someone, I can go into one of the above and find a post about them pretty quickly.

I have about a million more fandoms to go through and do this for but I'm confident that with one exception (Pokemon) each individual one of those is going to be a much shorter task.

#ignore morg #I am so glad to have finished this. Not being able to find what fanart I've reblogged or not has been maddening. #Shit *should* be smooth sailing from here on out as far as finding things in my CR tag. Key word Should. #There might still be a post or two lost to a typo but over-all this should be much easier to browse. #oh right Tangled Depths is an exception to my CR[N]-EP format #because I did not want people who like that number to obtusely think anything about it other than I hate them and they should fuck off #so it's formatted as ''CR1-88 Tangled Depths'' #I'll probably do that to posts about the next C3 episode too. Throw the episode title in. #I'm surprised all of the Vox Machina smut I re-tagged with my new tags only knocked about 3 pages off my n s f w tag #It feels like there was more of that #probably going to clear out that one in favor of citrus puns next #then move on to the various fandoms in that tag

#critdice #when everyone was ripping into him last episode to the tune of 'you were only doing this as a powergrab because you #dont care about anyone but yourself and you're so selfish' ??? i was legit so pissed lol #and im guessing its bc that was mostly in character (especially imogen?? pot kettle much???) #but for ashton - practically the most selfless person in the group - to get that kinda heat??? made me so mad #now. was /taliesin/ doing that as a selfish powergrab? maybe lol #i'll forgive him tho because he really was making a realistic character choice #laudna really went scream crying into the arms of her old abuser because ash 'betrayed us' i didnt understand any of those reactions lol #if i stepped in front of a magic bullet because my best friend was too afraid to #when we fully thought it would give one or the other of us magic powers but we didn't know who and if it didn't we'd die #and then it didn't give me magic powers and i just barely survived the dying part #and all of our friends tore into me calling me selfish and betrayer and all that? #i'd probably stop hanging out with those friends tbh!!

also like does winston have to deal with his algorithm's failure being blamed for the mess at mpc. does he have access to it to see that someone clearly like added in various [NOT] edits (also....doesn't seem like a guarantee anyone else would Get to access the code beyond like an on/off switch or other "front end" kind of adjustments? but). i guess either way it's not like this Extra thing they asked from him was ever even meant to be his Main Thing, as discussed (though now again wondering about the details, if mpc was supposed to get his best shit, if this was an adjustment To it rather than a kind of extension added without having to alter that main event? i don't think billions cares either way. and he presumably could just make something new)....and, again, does axe global retain some contract with him? which winston has no reason to Want to be the case? a typical battle between whether everyone forgets he exists or else their contempt and eagerness to use him to affirm their own superiority means making sure to hold on to him Just Because of that, not even the value, which was never enough to offer him more in the first place or try to keep him from quitting

meanwhile, once again basically every time taylor makes a move towards more autonomy / doing their own thing, winston has a crucial role. coding solo for them in a basement which gave them the investors / Billions they needed to start tmc, making & backing the project that led to the c standing for carbon, now that his algorithm had this key role in the move that ultimately landed them Billions again, personally this time, & tmf (cassandraed! via: taylor mason fucks) but it's just that this time it was taken from him and fucked with, though already the "no credit" part was underway after his role in the mase carb shift translated to all of "for no reason other than wendy's ableism moments, we're Only considering firing You. here's your new best personal bully friend who is instantly & forever preferred personally & professionally" like yeah thanks. billions at least letting us know he got single digits millions for it but like, sorry did anyone start a secret fund stash for winston? seems unlikely, even though spyros the [universally hated guy even beyond winston] and sole prince loyalist here who was actively trying to thwart the sabotage, gets a share just fine, don't even worry about it. all this and how dubious it is billions was trying to be at all "nice" by having winston quit (and then be treated like that in a plotline that only existed so wags could have fun and We could have fun in that too!) when it's like "oh of course he can't just Be Here" like sure whatever. he should get to be away from there but i'm not sure billions is on the same page as to Why when a correct character informs us that actually rian was always being Too Nice by telling winston "shut the fuck up forever r word" whenever he breathed instead of at least keeping it to herself forever instead; don't think we're given room to suppose rian has reflected on this when she chooses to leave after her ""friendship"" with winston did fuckall for her Not helping hurt him even when he's entirely somewhere else & she supposedly cares At All. so even negative attention is supposedly "nicer" than being ignored (it isn't) and yet winston gets to just Not be mentioned, show up, speak, be spoken of....best thing for Someone Like Winston being if he may as well not exist but maybe his coding output just manifests in the hands of people who deserve to benefit from it

#winston billions #like wouldn't put it past billions to want him to be Worse Off somehow. not like they didn't already do that #plus ofc he too can just find shit to do outside finance entirely but billions Also didn't bother having him talk abt such things ever #e.g. let him talk about interests; aspirations....could do scienceish stuff one supposes. only b/c of earlier scifi interest moments #just ofc also great that If So it's a situation of him being pushed out / sabotaged / taken from #guy prince ran over with his car while getting his start asf situation for sure.... #truly just Something that rian can assert she cares / taylor can contextualize that rian's being Nicer than she should be #after nothing but particular bullying and abuse from her towards winston. ''nicer'' than ignoring him....which she also does; so! #and not a lot of room to give billions benefit of the doubt in questioning whether winston simply Deserves this #if he wasn't inferior then he'd stop being autistic and he'd look like a central man (not paul giamatti apparently though. textually) #as usual the most i'll give them is trying to have their cake and eat it too but probably not even that #i.e. incontrivertibly treating winston Worse than other characters b/c he's inferior #but one supposes they could say ''oohh but ofc we don't SAY that's okay....INTERESTING you'd think it MIGHT be....'' #which would be bullshit anyways lmao. hence the cake having & eating too #they do; also; for all intents and purposes convey that winston being treated thusly is neutral to More deserving; should be rewarded.... #whilest his eternal sabotaging & punishment is [he brings it upon himself & that does make it okay] #also ofc not like taylor would've made the billions without the secret fund; which winston was not involved with....but you know #still a key role. gotta be in the episode recap and everything. but didn't Get to be in the episode. lol lmao and rofl
