sometimes think about how the hell dallas & ian ended up being #1 zukka endorsers like did netflix encouraged/adviced them to in some ways or they just came to netflix HQ one day with a 57 slides presentation and a thick ass thesis and was like "guys, guys, hear us out—"
they cribbed the toni/cheryl kevin/clay song this episode from a niche musical about a world where being straight is illegal (where it's a breakup song?!) and then tossed half the lyrics to make it an entirely different song and made fun of themselves for it btw. roberto is galaxy braining on a level the rest of us can't even comprehend.
Okay I just love it when the hermits get together and goof off because it produces the funniest shit. Joe with the invisible pot and everybody giggling like children and they’re all playing hide and seek with Ren. Ren trying and failing to establish dominance. Ren complaining about the magenta blocks before being reminded it was him who did that. The way his rentheking entrance FAILED dramatically and everybody was just giggling awkwardly (Grian: well I guess he didn’t log in on the throne). The way it’s just a cloak and you can LITERALLY see Ren’s sneakers peeking out. “I spent actual money for this”. AND BDUBS JUST NODDING ALONG with his wide eyes and moss skin. “I shall serve you with every inch of my body” and the crowd was like uh okay 😒😳. Ren trying to bow his head for the crowning ceremony but he just looks realllly sad and pathetic because the Rendog body language says that whenever he looks down, he’s sad. THE WAY EVERYONE LAUGHED AT THE TINY CROWN HELP. The absolute lack of respect. THE BOOTLEG DOGWARTS WITHOUT THE GLORY AND CONFIDENCE. The way everyone was like “I’m confused but Ren looks like a soggy piece of cardboard playing pretend so whatever”. Then Joe jumping down and consuming a totem instead of flying?? Whatever Scar did in [ominous Ren voice] the Pit? Cub just casually flexing his diamonds?? Rendog inventing communism on Hermitcraft??????? Huh?????
I’m so obsessed with this episode. I really hope they make something fun and new out of this. It gets ten times funnier when you remember Dogwarts and RK. I haven’t laughed so much at a HC ep in a good while <3
the way stede's fuckery had so much work put into it like the crew all worked together and came up with such fun ideas and all planned and performed them and. literally for what. they made those danish people come to their ship. it wasn't even a raid. they didn't get anything. they didn't need to do that at all. ed's point was like, sometimes it's better to be flashy and scary and exaggerate things in order to scare people into submission so you don't have to kill them. and stede and crew heard ooh a fun little haunted house :)
Photos taken 6 seconds after I wrapped up a wicked little weeping in the car after a 4 hour drive in the pouring rain but I finally made it to Maine for my work trip.
