Let’s talk about the Watch What Happens (reprise) and why Only Davey could’ve sang it.
Like at this point they’re pushing the Katherine and Jack agenda, why shouldn’t she be his inspiration to keep going in this moment???
And the answer is cause she can’t grasp the situation fully!!!
Let me make it very clear that this is Not Katherine slander. I love her. I think this scene highlights the differences in their struggles and upbringing in a really brilliant way.
When she sees Jack wants to quit in this scene she’s so harsh with him. Doesn’t try to empathize with his situation at all, wants him to just buck up and keep going! Because for her, in her situation, with her upbringing, that’s the only way to get anywhere! She wants to be a reporter? Well she can’t listen when she’s told no. She has to push ahead no matter what. She can’t show fear and she can’t show weakness cause she’ll be called a girl like it’s a bad thing and have it used against her. But she doesn’t see her privilege in this! That in coming from a rich powerful family her physical safety can not be put in jeopardy! Her worst case scenario is moving back home and having to deal with her family’s idea of what it means to be a women in this time period. And don’t get me wrong that’s horrible, it would be a terrible and unfair outcome.
But it doesn’t threaten her physical safety!! (Not to say this is true for all women in her position but the show paints a picture that her dad does genuinely love her in his extremely misguided way and we never see him threaten her physical well being or even to stop bank rolling her). She can’t understand that sometimes you need to let a fight pass you by to survive. She doesn’t understand what it really means for Crutchie to be in the Refuge until later. So she pushes hard and it would’ve just ended in a fight where her and Jack miss each other’s points entirely.
But Davey gets it. Maybe not to the extent Jack does, but Jack said it himself Davey’s dads physical safety being jeopardized at work has threatened his whole family’s housing and food security. Something that could’ve been prevented with a union. He knows that this isn’t safe, he fully grasps the danger they’re in, to an extent that Katherine can’t because she’s never threatened by it. Not really. For her and her rich friends she involves this could just be a pet project (she would never view it that way of course) but if this all goes pear shaped all she has to live with is the guilt not the consequences. Her life continues with maybe some delays depending how long her blacklisting lasts.
But for Davey this could be the choice that means they can’t afford food or can’t pay rent. This could be the choice that means Les can’t go to school and his dad doesn’t have a safe place to recover. He gets it, he matches Jack’s fear, but he can’t backdown when they’re making real changes that Jack is having a hard time seeing in the wake of losing Crutchie to an institution that is a large source of his trauma. He needed empathy and hope not an ass kicking and Davey delivered.
Without him that scene would’ve ended with Jack running away a lot sooner and a lot more permanently. Rant over. Hopefully this is semi-well articulated it’s late and I couldn’t sleep til I got this out.

who do you think would make a better bestie: rhulk or nezarec? ty :3
Nezarec for sure. Nezarec is very into getting to know you personally. Of course, it's for the purpose of torturing you into insanity with nightmares, pain and suffering, but hey! He's way more interested than Rhulk! Rhulk would consider you beneath him and probably wouldn't be very into talking. He'd talk AT you, but not to you.
Nezarec was very chatty in the raid and even asked us favours like we're having coffee with him. Rhulk just spent the whole time being demeaning and dismissive. Personal preferences aside, Nezarec has more bestie qualities.
Consider also that Rhulk failed with influencing others, while Nezarec didn't. Nezarec was very successful with Psions. I declare Nezarec a better bestie.

ok I have so many thoughts where this is concerned but think about the potential a Sara, Kate, and Alex trio has especially as like a ‘mean girls trio’ kind of dynamic but also imagine how unstoppable they would be as a trio of conwomen reluctantly working together but they don’t even like each other they just work together well like au where those three go after the music box together WHEN. they’re such an odd mix of girlbosses and loserwomen that together their dynamic would just be too powerful I know it in my heart

everyone who has ever liked anything joongdok related pls read this fic Immediately
“Are you sure you want to bring a stranger to your house?” Kim Dokja asked with a tilt of his head toward Yoo Joonghyuk. “What if I’m a crazy fan? You should think about stranger danger.”
“Are you a crazy fan?” Yoo Joonghyuk asked in a dangerously interested voice, like the idea was extremely appealing to him.

Fine. You get one nice post out of me.
After becoming friends, Thatcher is Dave's go-to guy whenever the migraines get really bad. And you can bet your ass that it doesn't matter what time of night it is, Thatcher will drop everything he's doing to go over there and help his friend out.
Whatever it is Dave needs until he feels better again, Thatcher is there to make sure it gets done.

I think my favorite thing about Zak Saturday as a character is that whenever hes made friends in canon (specifically Ulraj and Wadi) hes just such an asshole to them right off the bat its so funny
