something about qbad mentioning how much horror he put red team thru every time purgatory gets brought up... something about how proud dapper was of him.
like this is just my late-night read but- it feels like guilt qbad is trying to twist into pride. he keeps needling away at it. “i killed them all, over and over and over again.” “they were hunted by a monster.”
it’s like- reassurance. like a nail he’s trying o beat into his head. he’s had SO much trouble with legitimately hurting his friends, despite making that vow all the way back when the eggs first went missing, despite all the tree talk and the promises to save the kids no matter what. He never faltered with elq, and that protected them. He keeps faltering now. Sometimes he doesnt remember the code, or cucurucho, or skeppy. But that doesnt matter, right? Because he’ll protect the eggs. He’ll be the monster. he is the monster. he can and he will protect them even as his seams start ripping and he keeps breaking further and further apart. even at his worst, he’ll do whatever he needs to protect the eggs.
he’ll be the monster. wont he?

It's best boy's birthday in a few days, so I thought I'd do something special following up to it; I have a lot of sketches, drawings, doodles, and unfinished works--entirely Ovan centered--that I have had sitting in my ipad that I just never posted. I don't usually like to upload unfinished works or sketches but I'd like to start getting into the habit of it. Otherwise, they sit on my tablets and rot, and some of them are neat to look back on. Creative processes are fun to see!
Some of them are months old, others just don't have a date to really say how recent they were. Anyway, enjoy the light blog spam in the next few days as I gather all of these up and just dump them here.

If I were to get Fired after Disappointing a customer (who hasn't paid and the worst thing happened to them is their orders late for a day and we cancelled his orders because he couldnt Wait any longer- DEMANDING us to finish the thing and said "I dont care I /want/ my orders Now" after we told him it will take us until midnights to work for it?? YOU HAVENT EVEN PAID), then I would gladly Leave. Certainly they didnt appreciate me at all

i personally think jo wouldve just insisted they left masato there and would try to make the argument that its too late for him
and even if he DID save masato i dont think he wouldve been half as supportive of him and his condition as arakawa was. like,, i think the only thing that made him okay with it in the game is the fact that he was able to see that it wasn't treated as a burden to arakawa whereas it definitely wouldve been to jo had he'd been the one raising masato
not sure if ANY of that made sense but gfhdsgfd
NAW I HEAR YOU the most important thing to remember is how differently jo behaves compared to when he was a teenager versus when he reunites with masato
what made jo care so intensely about masato wasn't that he understood he was doing fine after The Incident or that he was in good hands. it was the fact that jo bore first-witness to how much the incident did affect masato- that was when jo really had a change of heart and decided to dedicate everything to making ammends
jo did attempt to 'reason' with ikumi and say that what they did had already been done and there was no point in reversing the situation, so i dont think that alone would have fully stopped ikumi from trying something
moreover i definitely don't think jo would have cared for masato as intensely if he was given the chance to raise him from day one. at the same time, it's really hard for me to imagine how he would've gone about the whole situation if it came to that..

Just thinking out loud:
I was honestly expecting that exchange between Charly and Isaac to go a little differently; not in the sense that Charly would forgive him or anything at all like that, or her revealing she was in love with Amanda (honestly I called that Episode 1), but rather when Charly asked: "Does your machine brain have any concept of what love is?" Isaac answers: "I do not understand."
Judging by how he has otherwise been reacting to "the big concepts" this season, I kind of expected complete silence in response. The tilting head. The "clarify"/"go on, I'm listening" or even the "blank expression but something is turning around in that head" reaction. First season he would have defined the term.
But then thinking further about it...Isaac doesn't clarify what it is he didn't understand, nor did he specifically indicate that he didn't understand the question. I think, if I had to put reason to it, Isaac understood the question, but didn't understand what it had to do with anything - the context was missing. Then during the rest of Charly's reveal, *then* he is silent because the reasoning for the question has been explained. The reveal goes on. He reiterates his thanks regardless of her personal feelings. He is processing it now.
But damn would that have ever been a good time for another well placed "I believe that is a common experience we share" though.
Just mic drop that into the conversation and go back to work.
