Does drew ever see pops or dogday having nightmares or the other way around. How do they help them
“We all do, on account of all the trauma, but we’ve got a bit of a system. Dogday is usually fine so long as he’s sleeping close to somebody, and physical touch usually takes his mind off a nightmare fast. Pops’ll wake up screaming sometimes, but a little bit of music or a small game calms him down; something to focus on. As for me, well…”
“By the time I remember where I am, I’m already distracting myself. And once the others are awake, I’ve forgotten. I don’t mean to hide it, but it just slips my mind. Besides, we have other things to worry about, like Catnap’s gangly ass.”

me and my dad are like abed and jeff in the way that jeff always gets abeds references, theyre two characters that mirror eachother, they understand and relate to eachother in a way thats different from other characters relationships, but also in the way jeff fantasises about strangling abed, "you try to get him to do something normal without abusing him!", "youre a robot, abed". and still jeff goes in for two hugs before abed leaves.

Lucifer->Chuck & Sam->John is driving me insane it’s. You’re his favorite, which means you must have earned it, means you’ve done something right and he considers you an equal because you see how he treats your brother, a soldier, a tool. And equals get equal say, don’t they? Get a choice in where you go next. So, Lucifer invents disobedience because no one ever tried to argue with God before, and Sam invents disobedience because John never considered it could happen.
You try and try and try, look up at your father as he casts you out and tell him “I won’t become you.” Cage or college, in the end, Dad’s not even got to be there to drag you back into the fight. He can send his soldier to fetch you instead, and a couple protesting words from you does not a rebellion make. Lucifer learns how to make beings who will worship the ground he walks on, and better, learns how to discard them. Sam learns how to leave everything behind to hunt, and better, how to leave all of himself behind, too, in a revenge quest for someone who didn’t ask for it. “I won’t become you.” There’s the problem, you already were.

it's not that deep but the ground is soft and all that jazz, so i desperately wish to do a loose rewrite of wyll's arc because there are so many little details that could be added to make it hit harder. just. agh. so many gaps. so much potential. angst and headcanon bait practically.
how were the first days of exile for him? who were his childhood friends and where are they now? how much does he truly believe some of the stuff he says, and how much is just for the show? how does he truly feel about his father in arc three and after the game ends (depending on your choices, of course)? what is his relationship with his body like after it's been changed? you can literally go so deep.
my man barely is barely given the opportunity to acknowledge any conflicting emotions that he might have about things from his past without player input, and i get that it's so that your special little tav guy can feel even more special by helping him, but i'd personally prefer to see him struggle without that kind of guidance

"Cloverdale" is an episode that I can't decide how I feel about it. It reminds me of SGA's "Home" in how it uses a landscape of unreality to explore and develop characters in a different way, and I really like that concept... I just wish it was about anyone other than Lt Scott, because he's not a character I find interesting.
I do really like the insights that it does give. In casting Eli as Chloe's "brother" it reveals that Scott understands Chloe and Eli's relationship entirely from Chloe's point of view. Which makes me so sad for Eli, that of his (theoretically) 2 closest friends, the complexity of the way he feels about Chloe isn't something he can talk about with either of them.
And while Scott casting Young as he "father" in the dream is not at all surprising, he casts Rush as the justice of the peace, which I think is very interesting. Because while Scott might listen to, respect, and look up to his father figure, he's cast Rush in the role with all the power in his dream scenario, as the "wedding" can't go forward without the justice of the peace's approval and cooperation.
But the whole "wedding" metaphor is insanely heavy handed, like I don't need that much heteronormativity in my fictional blood transfusions thanks, and then they completely drop it an episode later. The refusal to commit to making Scott part alien makes the whole wedding thing worse. You could have just read Donne's "The Flea" and been done with it.
