i do think that despite being the squad's designated nerds, kon and bart struggle to watch lotr together because kon physically CANNOT stop infodumping through any of the movies (and of course they have to watch the extended editions only), but bart's like. you want me to sit in one place and watch one screen for 12 fucking hours. and on top of that you WON'T SHUT UP the ENTIRE TIME? i already can't focus on movies and you TALK THROUGH THE WHOLE THING? im going to fucking bite you--

no but it's a genius move on Matt's part to let the audience in on Dusk's secret. That is literally Hitchcock's rule of suspense: let the audience in on a piece of information the characters do not have.
He didn't have to do a one-on-one with Erika, but in doing so another layer was created for the audience. (and lbr, they couldn't really have revealed an evil guest npc if they were still shooting live, bc ppl would've spoiled it instantly for the rest of the cast, sucking the fun out of it).
We now get to see Dusk's actions in a different light. I wanted to scream several times throughout the episode already that these dumb-dumbs just trust a double spy with critical information without realizing it!
And the little seeds Dusk is planting around the party... How they were "just wondering" how much FCG would sell for, for example. How they kept asking Joe about Fearne's parents. The poking around Imogen and Laudna's relationship last episode doesn't seem like a considerate 'I just wanted to check if I'm not overstepping any boundaries, bc i got some vibes~' anymore. Dusk saw a thread to pull on that could cause mayhem within the party and it's working!
Dusk probably realized by now they can't finish their objective with the entirety of the Bell's Hells poking around. But a broken and disheveled party while slowly gaining full trust from Fearne, her target? Well, that just gets you the price.

my bf and i haven’t been fully hyperfixated on the same new thing at the same time to this extent in years, so bg3 has been really exciting and there’s been a lot of bonding. i wouldn’t trade that for the world. but the problem is, like. we have one ps5. and no gaming pc.

Emo Gohan idea that’s been bouncing around in my head forever- Gohan is used to being used like a weapon against threats. He’s called on by Goku during the Cell Games almost exclusively because of the power his anger brings him. In the beginning, Piccolo even kidnapped him for this exact reason- because his rage was useful. Whenever he fights, he can’t help but feel like someone else is pulling the trigger. Like he’s being used.
hope that made sense lol
Ahh I love this!!!
Haven't come up with anything concrete per se as I'm still chewing on this idea but you managed to squeeze these doodles out of me with your request 🤔🤔🤔

to be like frank here, redemption is an ever going cycle. when youve been the problem, the toxic ex, the abuser, you have to know you will have to apologize for that for the rest of your life. you will always have to live with the guilt and conscience of knowing how you hurt that person, or mutliple people. and you have to constantly CHOOSE to not repeat that behavior, and its not easy.
when you meet a new friend the topic of who you used to be will come up eventually, and if you have changed youll be honest with who you were. you cant run from it. you cant try to round the corners and make it seem like the other persons fault, or like it wasnt as bad as it was. its really really scary. because everytime you open up about it, its not just the wound of guilt but its also the fear that theyre going to look inside and not like what theyll see.
but you have to keep moving on and you have to keep being honest. and you have to remember that everyone is applicaple for redemption, you just have to work for it and admitting you were wrong with no buts is the first step.

got a sudden anxiety spike about having to move out after next summer but did a quick google of rent prices in the area i plan on moving to and. its not unaffordable for one person. $600/month isnt that bad. even at $15/hr 35 hours a week at my current job i make twice that which will still allow me to put money on my loans, buy groceries (~$120/month) and get little things for myself every now and then. though i wont be saving that much for other things...
