Some Tma Faceclaims in celebration of protocol!!!

Aaron Vodovoz as Jonah Magnus

He has the chaotic beauty I imagine him to have.

Dev Patel as Jonathan Sims

I know this one is quite generic, but... like... HE IS JON. Look at that pathetic-ness!!!

Josh Andrés Rivera as Martin Blackwood

He looks like he would make tea and lie (was incredible as Sejanus Plinth, so he'd probably be great at Martin).

Algee Smith as Timothy Stoker

I can't see Tim as a white man... something about it personally feels wrong. This guy has a chillness to him Tim has, I can imagine him sounding like Tim.

Jena Malone as Daisy Tonner

... This is mainly because of Joahanna Mason. But also, look at her. She's so Daisy. She kinda has a werewolf vibe. Again, she looks like she'd sound like Daisy.

(Young) Winona Ryder as Melanie King

She would be EXCELLENT at Melanie. Of course, I imagine her with pink hair but... idk... Winona Ryder just feels right for her.

Bonus: Ezira Miller as Barnabas Bennett

That is the face of someone who seems charming but would laugh at a man for asking for his money back.

Miscellaneous Mel Thoughts

Realized I needed a place to put all of my various and sundry thoughts about Melanie re: religion, her backstory, relationship with Wilford, etc. Under the cut!

-Hallucination!Wilford watches Melanie sleep. All of Melanie's hallucinations are rooted in unfinished business, they give her what she wants-she wants Alex to understand her, she wants to apologize to Layton-but in Wilford's case...what does she want from him? Well, according to Melanie's hallucinations, she wants him to watch her sleep, to talk to her, to know that she did what she thinks was right, to call her 'my dear', to have someone who actually questions her and make her come back to reality, to have him almost justify her decision to leave her. Melanie doesn't want to be the smartest person in the world, she wants to have someone who is an equal-and she gets that in Wilford, which would be great if he wasn't mildly insane. Hallucination!Wilford even tries to help Melanie legitimize why the female scientist (Melanie) would have killed her husband (Wilford) even though they had a daughter (Alex)-'Maybe he got sick' 'She and the other fellow knew he was a goner. Every day he lingered on was another day he was consuming food they needed.' 'So she put him out of his misery.' 'Shot to the head. She sacrificed him, Melanie, like you did to me.' 'She made the right decision.' 'I knew you'd say that'-but the scientist couldn't eat her husband. Melanie can't eat Wilford (3x10) and Wilford, try as he might, can't eat Melanie, either (3x04). But you could argue they've been eating each other since they met each other-Melanie turning hard and cruel but not enough to lose her humanity, Wilford softening but not enough to change his nature. They'll never bloody their hands with the others blood, either, because that is not something either of them are worthy of-they never directly try to kill each other, because they can't. Because if one of them had the others blood on their hands then that would be something unforgivable.

-Melanie Cavill doesn't exist without Joseph Wilford because she dies in the Freeze, but Joseph Wilford doesn't exist without Melanie Cavill, either, because the train never exists. No one's insane enough to give Wilford a chance, not even the other rich people, but a seventeen year old farm girl from PA has nothing to lose. And no one pays attention to Melanie Cavill, either, besides a hopeless rich man

-Also Mel and Wilford and 'always an angel, never a god' and 'god loves you, but not enough to save you' and 'you believe me like a god, I'll destroy you like I am' because they're both gods-Wilford is God and Melanie is Jesus, but Melanie is also God and Wilford is Jesus, but Melanie is Jesus and Wilford is Judas and Melanie is Judas but Wilford is Jesus. They know everything about each other-they shared everything, clothes and meals and tools and books and people and a closet and space. Wilford was the first person Melanie ever trusted enough to let into her space, and Melanie was the first person Wilford trusted that understood him, that didn't think he was insane. For so many years they were inseparable-Audrey used to say they were conjoined at the hip, that she shared a boyfriend with Melanie-but now, the only one allowed to separate one from the other is one of them. Melanie can leave Wilford behind, but she'll never escape him-his name's on the wall and stuck in her heart. Wilford can leave Melanie behind, but he'll never get rid of her-her hands touched every part of the train and every part of him.

-Original sinners makes me want to eat dirt because it implies that either Melanie was made from the rib of Layton or Layton was made from the rib of Melanie, I think it has to be that Melanie was made from the rib of Layton (Melanie as we know her by s3 was made from the rib of Layton, he was her catalyst) but Wilford tempting Melanie as the snake tempted Eve, telling her that things could be better and she could save everyone, and Melanie proceeding to tempt Layton and that unleashing sin upon the world

-If anyone ever tried to separate Mel and Wilford they'd both go insane-they don't even take it well when one of them separates them from the other. They're not the same people but they are, deep inside, because no one else gets them like the other does

-If humans hadn't sucked and climate change was reversed, would Mel and Wilford have ever had a chance at a happy ending?

-Melanie also has such an intense backstory as of s2 because what do you MEAN she was 17 when she met Wilford. Like before s1 I was completely normal about them because I thought they just met in grad school or whatever and they were maybe friends, maybe just boss and employee but after 2x01 with the whole Wilford all but rescued her at 17 no wonder she's such a mess

-If they hadn't done the whole Melanie met him at 17 thing I would probably still be just as insane but her character makes a LOT more sense after that. Like of course she tried to deny his behavior until the very end, Ben had to be the one to push her to leave him

-Melanie from s1 makes so much more sense when you put it into perspective that she's known Wilford for around 30 years at that point too. If you don't know that she met him at 17 then her character is a commentary on how quickly humanity devolves in a situation like that, and how grief can unravel someone, capitalism fucks us all over, etc. But the second that it got revealed that he met her at 17 it's like oh wow so she was a poor kid in PA and Wilford took advantage of how she needed to get out of there, and she just never recovered from that experience or anything that happened after

-Wilford thought he was helping her like how Jigsaw thinks he helps people-sure by the end of it all you've gone through these traumatic experiences but you have a different lease on life now/you're out of the shitty situation you were in

-I also think it's interesting how pilot!Melanie's dad was referenced as abusive and that she had a husband (but no daughter) when canon Melanie seems to have a fine relationship with her parents (which I strongly doubt but we don't know enough for me to argue that) and she has both Alex and Wilford

-Also (and I have a lot of thoughts about this topic specifically) it's very interesting that they chose 17 to be the age where Mel met Wilford, because having lived in a poorer part of MD (a state flooded with military and navy people), 17 is often when the intense recruiting from military/defense people starts to happen so it's interesting that that's when Wilford started to show interest in Melanie

-I don't ever see Melanie as having been replaced. I'm not really sure why but I always think Audrey was just kind of added on to that weird little relationship. Wilford would never let Melanie have enough freedom to fully replace her in any aspect

-I think Wilford Industries had a presence in the defense world and I think Melanie never could leave. Wilford would let her physically leave, sure, but if Wilford Industries holds her security clearance, he can make sure she never does anything of high value again

-I still think he very much had control over her up until Departure honestly her whole worldview was shaped by him from before her frontal lobe was even fully formed

-I want to know more about Mel's parents cause pilot Mel's dad is abusive, canon Mel was at least trying to save her parents but also very few normal parents are going to say yes sure seventeen year old daughter you can go off with this strange older British man

-Also there's something to be found in that Wilford doesn't threaten Melanie's life. Wilford knows that Melanie lacks self-preservation and doesn't care about her own life, so he has to go for her family to get a reaction out of her. Or Melanie knows that he knows he can't leave her for dead because that would destroy him emotionally

-As far as I can remember I don't think Wilford ever directly threatens Melanie's life actually it is always either her family or the train

-I think her and Ben joked about it, but when Ben finally pulled the trigger her focus was more on her family than make sure Wilford was truly 100% dead, and I think that gave her nightmares because she KNEW (thought she did) that her family was dead, but maybe Wilford wasn't, and was it worth it to leave Alex behind

-Wilford is so interesting because he does really value Melanie above everything else it seems which is weird. I feel like deep down somewhere Wilford admires Melanie for still thinking she could be a good person. Wilford knows he's not a good person. He doesn't try to delude himself that he is, either, because good is so boring. Melanie still thinks she could really try to be a good person and make up for everything she did, which Wilford finds amazing. If those two were left to their own devices they probably would cannibalize each other. Melanie still thinks that people could be good even when they've proven that they aren't multiple times. And I think that's why he didn't truly protest the track scaler thing. Because Melanie looked at him like she knows he's a good person deep down, and maybe he could be fixed like she was (lol she was not). Wilford believes that all people are bad in some way besides Melanie. Melanie looks at him like he can be a good person, and he knows Melanie tries to be a good person, so for him she's one of the only people to be in that grey area. Melanie thinks Wilford could still be good. Wilford thinks that even with Melanie's worst actions, she still did them for what she saw as the betterment of humanity, making her a good person

-Melanie and Wilford have very complicated relationships with each other and also a complicated relationship overall

-Wilford is the president of both the anti-Melanie club and the pro-Melanie club

-I think Wilford cares about Alex because she was part of Melanie. Melanie will always come before Alex, and Audrey might even come before Alex, but Alex is only up there because of Melanie. If Alex hadn't pursued engineering I don't even think he would have cared about giving her back to Melanie. If it was between him, Mel, and Alex, he would sacrifice Alex. Unfortunately for him, Mel would never speak to him again

-Wilford was there for her during all of those times and he showed that he really does care for her, and Ben can show he cares for her too, but it's still different in some way

-I always consider Mel and Wilford to be one half of each other which is part of why their relationship is such a mess. Mel sees Wilford as part of her, Wilford sees Mel as part of him. Ben and Mel don't have that problem, they just have normal people relationship problems

-If Melanie went to therapy and learned that not everything is her fault, she'd probably be about a million times less insane

Melanie and Ben be like: they've been together fifteen years. They didn't confess their feelings until the world froze over. She's his boss and they stood up to a dictator and killed her daughter hijacking a train together and covered it up for seven years. They haven't had sex in three years. He's condoned most of her war crimes and/or helped/been complicit. He still has to ask "what are we"

*On The Pirate Train*

Ben: They told me you were sick.

Alex: *weakly* Yeah.

Ben: Well, I brought you a special present.

Alex: What is it?

Ben: Open it.

Alex: ...a book?

Ben: A very special book. Your mom used to read this when she was under the weather and it always lifted her spirits a lot. So I thought I might try reading it to you.

Alex: *sighing* Does it have any sports in it?

Ben: Are you kidding? Fencing. Fighting. Torture. Revenge. Giants. Monsters. Chases. Escapes. True Love. Miracles.

Alex: That doesn't sound too bad. I guess I'll try to stay awake.

Ben: Well, thank you very much. That's very nice if you. Your vote of confidence is overwhelming.

Ben: *clears throat* 'An Introduction to the Construction of Tunnels by Blasting and Boring' by J. Paul Guyer. "Firstly let it be noted that this publication is adapted from the Unified Facilities Criteria and other resources of the United States Government which are in the public domain, have been authorized for unlimited distribution, and are not copyrighted." Now isn't that a wonderful beginning?

Alex: ...what the actual hell is this?

Ben: Shhh. It'll help. You'll see. "Chapter One, Part one, General Rules. The Design team must be composed of design and construction engineers and geologists experienced in underground construction. Methods and sequences of excavation affects the..."

*Bonus*

Alex: *after several mind-numbing hours* Ben, wait. Just--wait.

Ben: Are you confused? Do I need to go back a little and--

Alex: I guess I am a little confused. I mean, where's the sports? And the torture? I mean, when's it get good?

Beh: Were you not listening to the section all about horrible mistakes that can lead to cave-ins in Chapter Two: Tunnel Excavations By Drilling and Blasting? That was exciting, right?

Alex: -_-

Happy birthday @julesnichols I hope you have a great day ☺️

“Well, would you look at that,” Ben said quietly, standing to get a better look as Snowpiercer slowly rolled to a stop. When Melanie didn't reply, he looked down at her sat in the helm chair, her hand still gripped tightly to the brake.

She looked tired. More tired than Ben remembered her looking before, lines furrowed across her brow and eyes heavy. When had her hair become so streaked with grey? Snowpiercer had suffered heavy losses in the preceding years, and Ben knew that Melanie felt herself responsible. The train itself was shorter, cars abandoned, jettisoned, stolen or damaged, and repairs had become increasingly more desperate. The old girl was still standing, but it was a far cry from the twenty years he had promised her.

Ben looked ahead again.

The valley below was full of life in a way he hadn't seen in since before the freeze - people moving across the hillside like ants, huts and houses, smoke and fire, the sparkle of living water. There was colour here, too. Browns and greens amongst the grey rock.

“Mel,” he whispered, turning back to face her and cupping his hand to her cheek gently. “We made it. We're here. Look.”

When she finally lifted her eyes, Ben saw the tears threatening to spill out. Awe? Happiness? Grief? Ben wasn't sure. But he grasped for her hands, pulling her up out of the chair and into his arms. He wrapped her tightly in the, and she burrowed her face into the crook of his neck, leaving it hot and wet.

They stood like this for long minutes, until Ben eventually spoke again.

“You need to address the train, Melanie,” he whispered gently in her ear.

He felt her breath catch before she replied.

“And then I can rest?” she breathed, lifting her head to finally meet his eyes.

Ben kissed her then, tender, soft, like soothing old wounds, and Melanie softened against him.

“Then you can rest,” he replied, stroking back a loose strand of hair, their faces so close they were almost touching. “You're relieved, engineer,” he added, barely audibly.

And for the first time in a long time, Melanie smiled.

How Ben ranks the engineers.
