#but you can't stop me from murder

One of the things that’s incredibly funny to me about Murderbot and ART’s meeting is that Murderbot is being so ridiculous about it.
ART: *bumps up the life support to make its construct passenger more comfortable, watches shows with its new friend, offers free surgery and advice to pass as a human, watches over Murderbot as it goes to do dangerous things, watches out for Murderbot’s new humans*
Murderbot: This asshole boat is trying to kill me and I hate it so, so much. Yes I’m being a brat about it, no I don’t intend to stop-

Bad and Foolish being immortal makes their relationship make so much sense
That being said, Bad and Foolish's friendship to me is the same as the one this Colombian friend group I once met had
Let me explain...
I went to an exchange program once where 4 schools from 4 different countries would be given the chance to have 4 students go to Germany
The people from Colombia explained to us that in their country, most people go to public school, and a lot of private schools are extremely exclusive
Their school happened to be so exclusive that most classes had around 5 people
So for most of your life you saw the same 4 people at school
They seemed to always be either very close or genuinely hate each other. There was this one girl that the other 3 had at arm's length a lot of the time, but they would still hang out and talk casually
I didn't talk much with them myself, but the people I was traveling with confirmed that they seemed to be very toxic; doing things against the other, getting mad at each other about it, and then go clubbing together the next day as if nothing happened.
Because you kind of have to get along, you're gonna see them every single school day until you graduate. If you had more classmates, you could allow yourself to ignore them; but whether you like it or not, they're gonna be a constant in your life.
Now, imagine being immortal. You see most people around you die at some point (if you stay long enough for that), maybe you've even killed some people yourself.
They all come and go, in and out of your mind in a blink.
But there's this one guy you keep encountering. You've known him for a long time, which doesn't happen a lot.
Every few hundreds of years you'd cross paths and hang out. Because... why not? It's one of the only familiar faces you can think of
Sometimes, you get along. Sometimes you don't. Either way, you're still gonna gravitate towards each other and strike conversation every single time
Now you're forced to be in the same place. Of course you're gonna hang out!
You have the weirdest possible conversations (You've already talked about everything else)
You slap him with a fish for hours, you let him slap you with a fish for hours (you've got the patience for it, you've done worst things for longer and the gods know you have the time)
You electrocute him, prank him, flirt with him, offer him emotional support, set him on fire, compliment him, insult him, falsely accuse him of murder, you plan his murder right in front of him, you plan other people's murder together, you tell him your most secret plan, you know when he's hiding things from you
Because he probably knows you more than most people
Because he's your friend
Because he's your sworn enemy
Because what else are you supposed to do

Feel like there’s not very much attention paid to the S2 trauma of Tommy being coerced into use as an assassin.
(and, from a few of my notes during the S2 rewatch, the men he killed were sufficient to trigger great hostilities w Ireland; effectively he killed those men and (re-)started a war?) ‘The Chosen One’ / ‘I am Chosen’ / ‘May the Chosen One smoke?’
And then Churchill letting Tommy think he was being executed ‘Chosen One’ and crawling out of the grave owing his life to Churchill ‘I am Chosen’; the way Tommy asked for his last cigarette before that execution ‘May the Chosen One smoke’; his rage and disgust in both scenes, the coat on the meat hook and reminiscence of hanging…
The way he has to ‘give up on grace’ just prior to committing the first assassination, the way he has sex w Lizzie like eating a last meal he can’t even taste; the way he gives up on actual Grace as well as grace, just before he resigns himself to his own execution…
I mean, I’m nonsensical about it, can’t quite explain; at S1 it is a fairly hopeful ending; his personal ‘schemes’ for S2 reach high but aren’t wildly out of reach. To that point, when he’s killed it’s primarily been in the heat of battle.
But then he’s pulled off the street and forced to cold premeditated murder.
That first assassination he committed I feel did him some serious, serious damage, and that was the point that he did release any idea of ‘grace’ for himself, with everything that followed just further embedding that belief.

I got to look at the room in the dormitory and now I'm torn between taking it and running, or maybe taking a bit more time to find something... less really cramped and where the washing machine doesn't smell sour, somehow
#and i have to decide today help#like yeah my flatmates are awful and I hate them and am in a bad mood whenever they're home#but they're usually gone on the weekends so at least I'm alone then#there's Something weird about the dormitory I looked at but I can't put my finger on it. apart from the awful smell in the laundry room#but I mean I could take my laundry to a laundromat if I really didn't want to use that washing machine I guess#there's shared kitchens there too but oh well i've done that before#but by god am I looking forward to living alone after university#all I want is a flat with enough space for a large bed or a pull-out couch for when friends visit#and ideally a balcony and cats allowed#mine#jess' flatmate rants#am I being too picky? all student rooms are very small and shared kitchens and bathrooms are normal#what really threw me off was the washing machine ngl#aaah maybe that's another thing: my old dorm was bigger so more anonymous#this one has a kitchen for 8-10 people#i'm not very social; I don't want to be friends with the people in my dorm; I want to be alone and left alone when I'm at home#anyway. guess I have that to consider for the next hour or so#aah Vse Kar Vem came up and I'm crying again; wonderful#also you know those days when anyone talking in the same room as you makes you want to murder them? i'm on like week two or three of that#with no stop and idk why and what's wrong; send help#ngl maybe my problem is less with the dorm itself and more that I literally can't imagine a good future for myself right now#where I get to not live either in my childhood bedroom forever or only ever with flatmates which. I'm never moving in with strangers again#and I have no friends I could move in with who would want that or don't already live with their boyfriends

my reading of lifesteal season 4 is so personal and involved at this point that even if i was going to post more character analysis i would not know where to start. it would require footnotes to documents that don't exist. listen to luddites and lambs by everything everything and you'll get half of it though
#m#lifesteal#there is just such a compelling and clear thematic line between like. okay#first you need to just accept for me the idea that zam as a character is defined by being trapped running both towards and away from#the same object (mapicc)#and then you have to take mapicc as interchangeable with pain in general but specifically an inescapable normalcy of pain#which is caught up in something zam wants and knows he wants which is the “pure/natural” idyllic version of lifesteal#where every fight is fair competition#and what mapicc has done to hurt him more than the actual stalking and murder and all of that is that mapicc refused to fight him on even#ground (by literally invading and destroying his home so that everything becomes battlefield) in a way that offends his most deeply#held values. AND THEN he reads vitalasy's use of the exploits as trying to take that same thing he fundamentally values about lifesteal#away and he gets incredibly angry with vitalasy for hurting the server itself (pvp becomes functionally obsolete for a while there)#so he plays out the eclipse betrayal framing it in his own mind as another situation where he is the victim and vitalasy is the#manipulator/aggressor and falls back into the kind of jumpy paranoid behavior we as the viewer haven't actually seen from him in a very#long time now (late into eclipse when mapicc isn't an active threat anymore he really does stop jumping at shadows the way he used to)#and seems comforted by the familiarity of it if anything. because what vitalasy was asking of him that made him panic and reject it so#badly was to create a new pattern and step out onto unknown ground but he can't do it#and he retreats back to what he knows. so vitalasy isn't WRONG to read what zam does as victimizing himself#and forcing vitalasy into a villain role that is literally what he is doing#but vitalasy on the other end still has his own entire set of things he is not dealing with#and so the relationship created by these two people is doomed by their inability to look themselves in the eye more than any of the actual#facts of the relationship itself#and the thing zam wants lifesteal to be is not and has never been real. the thing vitalasy wants lifesteal to be is also antithetical to#its nature they are both wrong#but zam is wrong in that he wants to return to an idealized imagined past that does not actually exist#(see also vague historical allusions in his castle and his name and him trying after vi's death to cast off violence completely and return#to the land somehow. and the association created incidentally between stone tools and rudimentary technology)#and vitalasy is wrong in that he's trying to create something entirely new that nobody but him actually wants via the exploit#(see the way that once the exploit is 'out of the box' it can't be put back in and the course of the season is set in motion and any attemp#s to fight it and change that course are futile as allegorical to sudden technological advancement being met with violent opposition)

I honestly believe a lot of the pro-Palestine people on the left would be neo-Nazis if they were right wing because the amount of antisemitic propaganda you lot just eat up without an ounce of critical thought because it has the tag "Palestine" on it is genuinely horrifying.
#v.txt#antisemitism#im not saying you have to pick a side you should care about palestinians AND the innocent israelis being caught in crossfire#you can't say all palestinians shouldn't be to blame for hamas's actions (which they shouldn't if that wasn't clear)#and then say it doesn't matter if innocent israelis and israelian children are murdered because their government is bad#i know i said i don't like posting stuff like this but the 'propaganda' superbowl ad people are vagueing about#was a 'stop jewish hate' ad. it was not funded by israel. it was a non-profit organization with no proof it was made by zionists#and seeing people say 'there was something mentioning 'antisemitism' without any context behind it' makes me want to fucking puke.#antisemitism has skyrocketed exponentially since oct 7 with innocent jewish people being blamed for the actions of israel#and after the superbowl ad the entire internet has taken it as an invitation to publically broadcast how much they hate jewish people#you lot would rather literally spread blood libel rhoretic than just LISTEN to jewish people for once and it's so infuriatingly sad to see#all that im asking is just stop staying in your echo chamber that constantly spreads antisemitic conspiracy theories#and learn how antisemitic rhetoric actually spreads from jewish people talking about it instead of ignoring it like it doesn't exist#if you refuse to do that because you think not being antisemitic is contradictory to supporting palestine#then don't even bother saying your blog is safe for jewish people. it never will be until you stop reblogging from neo-nazis

"I have ...." rummages through pockets and pulls out four crumpled five dollar bills. "Twenty dollars to hire you to go paintballing with me. Or mini golfing. Or go cart racing. I'm not picky" / have a wally awkwardly trying to be friends despite people telling him not to be dumb

"You should save your money. You probably need it more than I do." Copperhead said, arching a scaled brow at the sight of Wally's crumpled notes. If this was a ploy to get him behind bars, it was a damn imaginative one but Copperhead didn't think the young teen was that duplicitous. He'd always seemed the earnest sort much like his predecessor, a ray of sunshine that was increasingly rare in this day and age. How old was he anyway? Was Wally even legally entitled to work? The Serpent Metahuman hummed. Nobody had ever really offered to *do* anything with him, much less offer to pay and frankly he was at a bit of a loss on how to react. He certainly wasn't about to take this kid's pocket money. "Besides, even if you're okay doing those sorts of things, people might panic and call the police if I showed up what with being a wanted criminal and all. That would bring the mood down pretty quick, wouldn't you agree?" Damn. Why was this so hard? Copperhead had killed many over the years without a shred of mercy and through various horrible means such as stranglation, suffocation, even envenomation.... so how was this half-pint able to make him feel bad for turning down a handful of crumpled notes? He hummed again. "How quick are you able to run to Arizona? I know a great fair there and nobody would bat an eyelid seeing us."

✧ I won’t really write descriptions for these, but see original post tags for explanation/commentary on the song snippet ✧
#This was literally just off the top of my head improvising words that rhyme (as is obvious from me rhyming the word#'on' with the word.... 'on' (what's going ON my name is ON' etc. lol) but after actually thinking about it this kind of seems a little#sinister?? why is his name on the news? why is he fleeing town? makes me think of of some guy who's killed#someone or is finally getting caught for his crimes so one last stop before he flees town is he returns home to his husband (who he#calls Hummingbird sometimes I guess) and is like 'erm... tee hee.. I can't tell you why but I shall leave. farewell' etc.#also 'I guess I could show you' having a bad implication like.. yeah I COULD show you the dead bodies and evidence of my crimes#but I will spare you from that and simply let you live in ignorance (at least until you see the news at 10.. but I will be long gone by#then.. eating green beans somewhere lol).. ANYWAY.. 100% unintentional but you could actually almost read some sort of meaning#out of this one. until the green beans part ghhbjb.. I try so hard for everything to just be meaningless gibberish#that has no connection but I suppose sometimes a connection can be made. alas.. a perhaps accidentally Dark seeming song snippet#OR alternate theory. uhh... actually his name is on the news for a good reason. he donated all his money to charity and now#he's fleeing town just because he's embarassed to be publicly recognized.. a shy philanthropist OR an evasive murderer#BOTH versions of him like green beans. which is the truth? up to listener interpretation lol.. Also I#still find it immensely funny for some reason to do this lower sounding style of singing. which not that I really care about like having a#Broad Range or something since I don't think it'd even be possible to have one in my position (as someone#with zero musical/vocial training/etc.) BUT because part of what I find fun is like.. experimenting with all different sorts of sounds#and also doing choir type stuff. So then I do want to be able to sound like multiple people.. if that makes sense? I want to have a really#high voice and the a really low voice and have them sing together and it sounds like a duet or something when it's really just one person.#etc. Thus have a passing interest in learning to adopt different singing styles if I can. because then that's funny and I can do a wider#variety of things like it's all different characters or something as if all the song snippets are done by different people or etc.#(maybe just part of the nature of it being experimental).#And the low voice is always the goofiest sounding to me and very 'fake' seeming I guess#like blatantly is just someone putting on an affect or whatever but still in a kind of fun jokey way lol#beepo tag

@ofhope sent in: I know I've only just followed you, but holy MOLY the way I !!!'d at your guidelines (in a positive way, of course)! I LOVE whenever people don't boil Komaeda down to "he's a widdle misunderstood fella"; he has SO many layers of depth to his character that you can, quite genuinely, spend days dissecting and still not fully grasp his character. It's so incredible to see that, and I'm excited to see your portrayal!!! <3
Tumblr media Tumblr media
YES!!! oh i'm so glad. i will be honest i was scared about writing him for a long while because i was worried people would be disappointed/critical if i didn't align my portrayal with fanon but... i can't stand him being done dirty like that it made me so sad. he's my widdle fella but yknow in a fucked up way. "little guy" (derogatory). my "little guy" who creates an elaborate scheme to kill everyone on the island because he hates them for of something they literally don't even remember and he won't tell them about. he's so silly what the fuck is wrong with him.
i feel like every time i go in the tag komaeda is either portrayed like this 🥰😊😇😅 or this 🥴🥵😍🥺 and i'm like ??? who is that it's so strange to me. fuck baby komaeda and simp komaeda i want komaeda to be a little esoteric freak whose vibes are so rancid that you can't help but be uncomfortable around him even if he hasn't technically done anything wrong yet.
if you want snippets of my komaeda hot-takes i'm really proud of these posts: feelings on makoto, feelings on mikan, feelings on izuru, why i hate the anime.
also these ones are tiny, mostly jokey posts but they make me laugh and show off my mindset when writing him pretty well: problem causer, despair-inducing jokes, problem causer 2.0, jfc why is he so mean
#someone gotta stop the the komaeda propaganda#people are like “oh komaeda wants the shsl students to use him so he must always be desperate to help them and will bend to their whims”#and i'm like “komaeda literally turned down kozumi's handmade breakfast because he wanted toast. while he was being held hostage.”#man thought he had the right to be picky#man turned down a generously given breakfast for plain toast#also like... YES he wants to be used as a stepping stone for their greatness#of course he does#but we gotta keep in mind how komaeda believes hope becomes stronger#by overcoming despair#he lifts them up by creating conflict for them to overcome and grow from#when he asks the shsls to use him he's asking to help them with a murder#“use me as a murder victim so we can make a near-perfect crime”#you know#make the murder game harder#because it should be a challenge#if they can't solve such an air-tight crime how the fuck are they supposed to become capable of overcoming any despair huh#smh#komaeda said “use me to make more problems”#also yknow if that does happen he is creating problems for both sides#the partner in crime has to get away with it#like what the fuck is he doing to help#people are at risk either way#komaeda is rarely genuinely being helpful#komaeda has gone through MULTIPLE trials#in canon#knowing FULL WELL WHO THE CULPRIT WAS#and just kinda shrugging through it all and only helping by just off-handedly dropping info in a way that can easily be overlooked#komaeda claims to be the killer when he knows damn well he failed#HE IS HERE TO CAUSE PROBLEMS#HE ONLY SIDES WITH WHOEVER HE WANTS TO WIN
