"average grandpa electrocutes 3 children per year" factoid actualy just statistical error. average grandpa electrocutes 0 children per year. Electroshock Ledroptha, who lives in a cave & electrocutes over 10,000 children each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

McCulloch and Doc have given us Venture Brothers heathens an early Christmas present. Doc states, AND I QUOTE, “The new Venture Bros. Holiday Song is here! We've done easily a dozen of these things. Why do we do them? We do them because we love you, and would send you each a handcrafted card with glued noodles and glitter if we could. But I hate glitter because it takes 3 years to clean up, and I haven't worked in macaroni since grade school. So you get a song with deep canonical references that only mean something to a deep Venture fan, because that's how we do it. I love you!”
And we love you too, Doc.

honestly this isn't like, to say herbert is super niceys in canon BUT. i feel like if he actually succeeded in bombing the player, rookie, gary (and likely dot as well- i dont remember if the original epf command room was destroyed when the psa hq was) he'd probably not feel 100% happy about it. murder is in fact, a big deal! and while i'm not saying he'd instantly regret it i wouldnt be surprised if he'd feel SOME kind of way if he did succeed, even if he was mostly like "YAAAAY THOSE ANNOYING BIRDS ARE FINALLY DEAD". like yknow, even if i write my herbert to be Meaner and Nastier post blackout its not like i see even my herbert and especially not canons as someone who is Only Evil All The Time, i genuinely think this man would be at least slightly conflicted once the whole 'i actually succeeded in killing them' thing kicked in. and while he was obviously thrilled to bits about taking over the island and freezing the epf's leads, freezing them isn't exactly the same as killing them since as we know, even though it can have negative effects like gary saying he'd been having medical issues after being dethawed it's not permanent like being Killed-

I get the thematic/plot relevant/symbolic reasons for it, all of which are great, but the fact that in TPJ an extremely overwrought and exhausted Reynie saw Martina Crowe sneaking up on him in the darkness and immediately went "Ah, yes. Sleep paralysis demon" has me cackling

Very messed up of Curtain to be running a useless school where he taught kids nonsense to use in his secret messages so none of them can actually go to college. I was worried about SQ getting into art college, but knowing Curtain, he probably had his son taught by the world’s finest private tutors. (Which explains why he wasn’t close with anyone- he wasn’t in class with any of the other kids and spends his time completely isolated).

Curtain in Book 1: a sophisticated and intricate plan to take over the world involving mass-mind control and using complex understandings of human nature and emotions to brainwash the populace
Curtain in Book 2: what if I had really strong melatonin

Percy, tiredly: Okay, I’ve got the younger campers to calm down and drop their weapons.
Mr D: I’ve never been more proud of you for anything in your life.
Percy, a little offended: I mean…I’ve completed a lot of quests for you.
Mr D, unimpressed: And yet, the threats have continued.

I applaud Book Curtain for thinking he'd be able to keep up his act of stealing Mr. Benedict's identity for more than five minutes. /s
Even if he had gotten rid of Number Two and Milligan and the kids and somehow gotten Rhonda to be quiet (Maybe by threatening her/the others because he's scum), the whole scheme would have fallen apart so quickly.
Unlike Show Nathaniel, Book Curtain can't act to save his life. He's a complete disaster and would miss some vitally important detail because he's a narcissist and thinks everyone else is so stupid they won't notice.
I mean, seriously, what did he think was going to happen??? The time it took to set up his plans wouldn't be enough for someone to reveal him like a Scooby Doo villain?? Captain Plugg wouldn't notice something was up??? The people Nicholas regularly interacted with in town wouldn't be weirded out by his "personality change"??? The few government people who actually liked him wouldn't think something was up??? Violet Hopefield or John (You bet I'm dragging them into this. Everyone gets to get in on insulting Curtain for his stupid plan) wouldn't get upset he hadn't written to them and come check??? Noland, the one guy who actually kind of knows what's going on but is also under Curtain's radar wouldn't sound the alarm????
I know @acollectionofcuriousreblogs and @mvshortcut were talking about how desperate he was earlier, but come on. This man is so bad at plans. Literally gets beaten by children and the family he looks down on for, like, four whole books and not once does he change his plans/pattern. The man deserves to be railed on for his idiocy every once and a while
