my father’s grave

[Image description: a comic strip of 3 square panels. First two panels show a single continuous photo of Alex from the chest up. He is outside at night, looking down past the camera with a look of contempt and disdain. Text on the first panel reads "Every year on the anniversary of his death". Text on the second panel reads "I visit my father's grave". Third panel shows a photo of Jesse from the shoulders up. He is lying on the ground with blood on his face and a pool of blood on the ground underneath him. Text reads "to make sure it took." Text below the panels reads “e horne and j comeau - a softer world dot com - a softer r n m dot tumblr dot com. End description.]

I’m probably repeating myself, but I find it very frustrating how poorly done the portrayal of Alex’s PTSD is in RNM. such a bad case of telling instead of showing. it’s mentioned several times but we never actually see it affect him at all. it’s not even made clear whether the PTSD is from the war and/or from Jesse’s abuse. it makes it hard to believe that Alex is particularly traumatized at all when they don’t seem to find a good way of ever showing it, except for in his internalized homophobia. like when Jesse is pretending to be weak after the stroke, there are times when he makes sudden aggressive movements, causing loud noises and Alex doesn’t even flinch. you want to me to believe that someone who was an abused kid would not flinch when his abuser makes a sudden move like that? even having experienced war wouldn’t cure you of being tense and skittish around your childhood abuser. that shit runs deep. there is just not the right kind of tension between them. Alex should still be tense around his dad, and he’s just not. having grown up with an emotionally, albeit not physically, abusive dad myself I’d expect to see myself in a character like Alex, but I don’t, at all. I get the vibe that the person or people who wrote their scenes does not have their own experiences of parental abuse, it just seems written from a “this is my idea of what it’d be like” type of perspective rather than that of someone having lived it, which is disappointing. and yes, I admit this frustration is in part because I’m an ahole who enjoys seeing characters I like suffer, and I would have very much liked some scenes with Alex having mental breakdowns or in some milder way being triggered. but I also really dislike mental illness being represented only through dialogue and not actually shown in any way, besides the obvious that it’s also bad writing.

So I am absolutely in LOVE with the fact that Alex took Michael's last name 🥰💜 it's perfect and he finally gets to leave the "Manes" part of him behind. Good for him.

But it imagine if instead Michael took HIS last name and it was Alex and Michael Manes. Jesse would be having a meltdown in his grave over the fact that his son got married to his alien cowboy and has him take his last name just to spite his dead dad and honestly I would've been here for it

Between searching for answers about the man who is sending their letters, Michael and Alex decide to live in the moment. After a theory about the Lockhart machine is proven wrong, Alex is determined to investigate and provoke his father, which proves quite dangerous.

flint: [talking about alex] The only father figure he’s ever had in his life was...

greg: Oh, it was Dad.

flint: Yeah. Yeah, I guess so. Huh, poor kid.

greg: I can’t imagine

flint: Nor can I.

greg: Wait, we had Dad.

flint: You know, in a way, he was our dad.

For @tvarchive‘s TV Appreciation Week Day 4: favorite TV villain

Jesse Manes | Roswell, New Mexico

What makes a villain, or any character, “good” in my opinion is depth. Jesse Manes is one of my favorites because his motivations are not a simple as it may initially seem, he has a past that sheds a lot of light on his present-day actions, and even after his (in my opinion) untimely death he *literally* looms over the characters for another season. He encapsulates the insidiousness of white, male privilege as an abusive parent that helped enact a genocide who has a statue erected in his honor. Jesse Manes is a great villain because the in-universe general world doesn’t see him as one, even though his actions certainly make him one in every sense of the word.

[Begin image description:

A full-width gif followed by two side by side, then the pattern repeats.

Gif 1: Inside a diner in a flashback to the 1950s. A young Jesse is sitting across the table from Tripp (back to the camera) looking intently at him. His eyes flick to the side and he sees something that makes him drop his gaze and lean back slightly away from Tripp, suddenly closed off. 

Row 1 Gif 1: Closeup on a screen showing a security camera feed. An adult Jesse, in fatigues, is standing dispassionately in a cell block in front of a clear cell door in which Jim Valenti is kneeling, thrashing in pain. The camera cuts to a closeup of a finger hitting a key on a keyboard, and cuts again to the feed as Jesse turns, zooming in on his face. He is nonchalant as a man is screaming in pain and desperation behind him.

Row 1 Gif 2: Outside at night during a county fair, a crowd in the background. Jesse is in his dress blues, facing Alex (back to the camera) and he pulls the large metal cylinder that makes up the DNA bomb he is planning to deploy. As he pulls out of the briefcase he turns, and Alex backs out of shot with his hands up defensively. Jesse is speaking but there is no caption.

Gif 3: Inside a potting shed with a small window and shelves of tools and jars on the wall. Jesse stands just inside the door facing Alex and Michael (off-screen) holding a hammer he’s picked up from the tool bench. He is looking down at it calmly, considering, and as he turns it in his hands he takes a firmer grip and moves to face the boys.

Row 2 Gif 1: Jesse, in his dress blues, lies on the pavement. Blood is pooling on the ground underneath him and there are streaks of it on his face. His brow is furrowed as he looks up at Alex (off-screen), and his shoulder drops as he goes limp.

Row 2 Gif 2: Crane shot of Alex exiting a bus onto a sidewalk in the center of town. Blocking the camera is the back of a large bronze statue of a man (Jesse) in dress blues, saluting. The camera tracks up his legs and ends looking over the statue’s shoulder, down at Alex who is looking up at the statue of his father.

[Image description: a comic strip of 3 square panels. First panel shows a photo of the statue of Jesse. He is shown from the chest up, in his Air Force uniform, saluting. Text reads "do you ever get the feeling someone is watching you". Second and third panels show a single continuous photo of Alex looking up at the statue of Jesse. Alex is standing on the sidewalk in front of the statue, carrying a duffel bag. The camera is looking down on him from above, and the head and saluting hand of the statue are in the foreground. Text on the second panel reads "even though you already checked twice". Text on the third panel reads "to make sure they're really dead?" Text below the panels reads “e horne and j comeau - a softer world dot com - a softer r n m dot tumblr dot com. End description.]

Y’know, I almost feel bad for Trevor St. John (Jesse Manes).

Here he is, he’s supposed to be playing the father of four (4) ADULT sons -- the youngest of which is supposed to be right around 30, and you figure the oldest is probably at or just over 40 -- which means his character is probably supposed to be somewhere in his (at LEAST) early 60s....

...and Trevor St. John was born in 1971. He’s not even remotely old enough. The poor guy. I almost actually really feel bad for him...

#Trevor St. John #Jesse Manes #Roswell New Mexico #this deserves a slow clap for the casting people

Genuinely, my first thought when I read the title was “Because Jesse Manes is a goddamn war crime.”
