diefordarkseid replied to your post: read this quote yesterday & naturally immediately...

milo jsyk i have yet to watch this show beyond the clips you’ve been posting of winston but the more i read your posts about him im like “wow i like and relate to winston billions kinda sorta”

scully have you ever Partaken of this really convenient just-under-15-min Youtube Compilation of all winston billions’s appearances to date (seeing as tragically s5 debuts in a couple days, which is why i’m even less capable of shutting up about winston billions than usual, and btw wrol has said that of the 7 eps we’ll get [seeing as production was interrupted by pandemics but at kind of the best point @ which it could’ve interrupted] he is in every single one) like i truly forget if i’ve ever linked that

i realize there’s a lot going on with no context but it’s a delight all the same

and i absolutely Love winston billions (tragically, see: being cursed w/ this series lmao) and yes big relate. i mean you know how wrol Cannot play a heterosexual Or neurotypical character......his can’t-be-straight vibes are radiating same as ever and i am Very Adamant that winston billions is Definitely autistic, that struck me even when all the content we had was his s3 appearances lol. 

also the fact that wrol gets so many Deeply Insecure characters to play lmao, that was pretty much the gist of his originally-meant-to-be-one-off Botched Interview Scene lol, taylor tells him he’s Too Self-Loathing, which they then have him basically confirm in his next appearance way down the line, which they Allegedly started writing as soon as wrol was filming that original would-be cameo lol.........we love the insecure low-self esteem wrol roles!!! he continues to nail it, he’s like yeah i got this

winston is also unusually Earnest and Honest, especially considering the show he’s in, and like, this guy is Putting In Effort to communicate and also connect with the people around him, which is not many people so far b/c he’s mainly interacted with taylor (which is Not a problem lol) and had fleeting interactions with his other 3 Named Coworkers.......he’s a touch ~sensitive~ lol like very prone to kind of capitulating to others’ Feedback, really into Taylor’s Validation which, why wouldn’t you be, but it’s a lil like “haha oh no” considering his and taylor’s first encounter was him annoying the hell out of them and them slamdunking him so hard he just goes off and presumably Has Depression about it until they get back in touch with him months later. Winston And Taylor Dynamic is essential considering a) virtually all winston’s scenes have been with taylor and b) asia kate dillon is Amazing and so is wrol of course and c) Their Communication(tm).....we are obsessed. this is a whole other extremely long tangent about taylor and winston’s mutual respect and ability to Get each other and willingness/ability to communicate well, which means A Lot considering like, everyone else finds winston offputting and does Not communicate well with him, and many people find taylor (at least initially) offputting for different but not-that-different reasons, and taylor often has to struggle for very conditional and transactional “respect” from others (they do get Some genuine respect, thank fucking god) but after his first meeting for taylor involves them reading him for filth and giving him despresso, the next thing he does is show up both Saying and Showing he’s listened to them and he’s clearly trying to Work With Them and they Work With Him and god the essays all about this scully.....the Essays......the Winnie N Tay.............the [they should absolutely fuck] and the Tayston...........

ANYWAYS ugh god we love him and wrol Does What He Does and gives the character depth and nuance and [the energies....the vibes] when nobody fucking asked him to, which is why he was originally just meant to come in and film the one minute long scene, but they liked him so much they wrote him in more episodes, and then in more episodes throughout s4, and then So Far Every Episode of s5 that we can get thus far. and i haven’t watched billions either!!!! i Have seen material outside of the Winston Content, and i Know Of material i have not actually watched, but i cannot bring myself to like, actually watch the series normally and in full lol. taylor is a main character which is absolutely deserved but i fairly loathe like all the Other main characters (including the two supposedly central ones lol.....a nightmare) and what i don’t dislike, i Simply do not care about lol........like, if i did actually watch it Properly? i’m sure it’d be fine and i’d only Sometimes want to slam my head through a wall. i know this b/c i’ve watched a couple eps almost in full (the last couple eps of s4) but like, i do not have to, so no thanks

but winston is So Good we love him and we have so many Thoughts and he is very relatable b/c like. wrol just Gives These Performances and goes above and beyond to make this seem like a fleshed out person before anybody even asked him to lol. or winston would have only ever been Quant Kid 2 in one scene in ep 3x03. and there are even other things we can derive enjoyment from, or we’d be way deeper in hell than we are already. such as: taylor mason, which is akd really honestly being so good an actor they’re carrying this show lol they very truly elevated this series by a lot singlehandedly. Their Performance/s......which is why it’s fucking brilliant that Wrolliam and Akd are scene partners virtually all the time. together they are just killing it, by which i mean, us. that’s why we’re here really, we went and discovered how amazing their scene/s together in ep 3x11 were and it was like hmm. i think i will never shut up about this for A Year And Counting

diefordarkseid replied to your video: in all that mh rewatch i right off appreciated how...

23 has always been a favorite of mine that I feel is really underrated. the restraint with the teleportation and time shifts was really good, the subtlety is good…. also god that one part where the mask is just On The Doorknob

oh yeah like At This Point i’m so used to what happens / thinking about behind-the-scenes stuff usually so when the mask thing happens i was mostly just like “haha oh right i forgot that happened. jay got #got lol” but really it’s a totally good idea lol and the way the closet door is so Close that opening it briskly makes the mask clatter around makes these great Levels where it’s like 1) aaa what’s that 2) oh whew it is just the mask 3) aaa what’s the mask doing there lol where it’s not even a non-scare b/c truly it’s so Weird and clearly Intentionally Done by tim that it’s like, unsettling on its own in this really Strange way and just clearly hammering home that jay’s totally Not in control of what’s going down here and tim is still around, maybe, probably lol.....you just don’t Know lol like, all the Implications and Ambiguities going on just with this one moment which like i’m sure was never gonna lead anywhere, just some “wouldn’t it be neat if the mask was hanging on the door outside” idea lol but it Works, like, mh has great details even when some of them were happy accidents or just kinda winging it based on what would be cool. 

and like yeah it’s great that they held back on not like, adding some kind of [spacetime travel!!!] sound cue lmao like, letting the audience need a second to get our bearings since we’d realize even more slowly than jay that it’s like, hold on, this isn’t lining up.......the shot/s down the stairs are great too just b/c it’s like, every time someone’s shining a flashlight down a hall or into a room or down a flight of stairs there’s that moment of Suspense anyways, and pairing that up with how those Stair Shots are our way of finding out that not only has he been jumping around in space but also now hours must’ve gone by and it’s nighttime......still funny that it’s like, damnit and after jay took an Obviously Slightly Safer Approach for *once* he’s still thwarted......and i think it’s got that fun like surreal nightmare quality, like if this was a dream where all the [getting mixed up amongst the upstairs rooms] is this moment in which it’s clear things are getting even worse than they’d been before, there might be some new terrible element dropped in just to correspond with your own Mood Shift towards Dread like “boy sure hope nothing Else bad happens” and then being hit with “oh no now it’s somehow nighttime and i’m even more Threatened”

the like distorted audio “hello”s of jay being bounced back Live On Camera (and not in some tta response remix lol) are too good also like......it’s weird and inexplicable and also threatening. never get tired of quoting “he’s just standing there!! menacingly!!” lmao but man what was mh but this pretty constant Menacing Vibe lol which was great really. they were really good at landing both like, the big loud Danger Right In Front Of You moments and the quieter creepier shit, my faves always tend to involve some of Both, like, one of my favorite tta’s is the “so much more than time has been taken” one ft. porches and drawings but where i love how the Audio is lol it’s like yelling at you even though it’s not actual vocals at all, and i also love that s1 Staticky “there are doors unopened” one with the horizontal-headed silhouette chill-ly gliding along and then some panel opens and shuts. like hell yes let’s get Unsettling if not more immediately threatening! love to see that

and their sort of Restrained Teleportation (what a phrase...lol) was so good and especially with how they developed it, the “tim’s adventure in rosswood” Teleportation Antics Pov entry was wild and i Love that later sequence w/ tim chasing brian in That final confrontation lol, and the Pursuit is unbroken but they’re getting moved around through the owned zone parking lot in hell and the tunnel and the hospital and etc etc.......the whole Practical Effects and Production Choices were always 2 good but it’s also good that they had the level of Editing Ability that they did lol

#diefordarkseid #like at this point it's real easy to forget the more ~immersed~ experience of mh where it Is all like ''oh shit aaa'' throughout & Ominous #and all that.....finally getting around to watching those night mind Series Explained videos and i'm remembering a bit lol #and i had no idea that one s1 binary clock yamayamayama code had finally actually been solved lmao excellent. i still thought about that one #thx for the streams tim.......always fun to reappreciate / rewatch some of this stuff. lookin forward to whatever Eventual Video they were #interviewed for........@ whoever's editing it..................pls

diefordarkseid replied to your post: lmao mh has been over for 5 entire years (w/ me...

people were so fucking annoying with that “yay more shots of the woods” shit like a) shut up and enjoy nature’s majesty and b) like u said, its About The Pacing…. christ alive. i have no idea what marble hornets fans are up to these days but i hope they found better shit to talk about

lmaooo enjoy nature’s majesty You’re Right, like for one thing they did find a bunch of cool forest locations. and like damn if these people wanna talk about content being Repetitive, we never needed your post-entry takes of “wow great more walking in the woods >:/” for the dozenth time in a row. did they want every entry to unfailingly end on running away from shit. did they want constant “5 times the cameraperson didn’t notice TO + 1 time they did.” like hilarious that for all the complaining about Filler mh truly does not have filler and like, even rewatching this stuff and having a pretty good idea of when stuff is gonna happen vs Not, all the [walking around] parts are fine. i’m not gonna try to argue None of it could’ve been pared down at all but like, don’t really need to, it’s not a big deal but goddamn some people would not shut up about it lmao like, these are your most essential contributions?? you can’t be like “i think the series could have shorter/less Walking Shots” without expressing it via like, 50 posts saying this every time an entry wasn’t just spinning around in a circle going “oh god oh man” with antagonists popping up on every side.......you’d even think at a certain point it’d either bother them too much to keep up with the series Or they’d just drop it / mention it less often...........but no, instead it was one of the things making me go “yknow i sure don’t have to follow Everyone using the mh tag :/”

#diefordarkseid #ppl would casually refer to an entry as Filler as if this was just established fact when it like. contained some legitimately Plot Essential #shit in there........even the like entry 18.5? sort of recap thing wasnt Meant to be filler #they said they really thought that ppl would find that helpful by that point lol like. underestimating the extent to which ppl will really #focus on this / binge through/rewatch / take notes or whatever #really the Rule for some ppl seemed to 100% be that if TO showed up in a Big Way it was not filler. otherwise it was filler no matter what.

thats how i feel about it too. it really impressed me and scared me the first time i read it

a little detail that i liked is the use of a pre-existing youtube video as part of the story. is not much but it helps the atmosphere for the story

lmao is there any place to download the golden plates it looks super interesting

Not that I know of! There should be, because it’s out of print and I imagine it’s not really easy to find. If I ever stumble upon it online I’ll let you know though! It’s worth a read.
