Episode 364: Barnabas, Barnabas

Vampire Barnabas Collins has been part of Dark Shadows at least since we first saw his portrait on the wall of the great house of Collinwood in #204, more properly since they went to great lengths to make it look like there was a portrait on that spot in #195. He is now the main force driving the action of the show, and pretty much the only reason people are tuning in to watch it. The ghost of…

The brotherly moments are what I’m looking forward to the most for the sequel. I’m hoping we can potentially get a scene that will top the reunion scene. Are there certain kinds of brotherly love moments you’d like to see in the sequel?

Big same. What I'm most looking forward to is all the little subtle shows of affection: headlocks, side hugs, cap tugs, belly pokes, shoulder nudges, jabs, jostles... all the bits of body language that made their relationship feel so close and real in the first movie. And of course, the return of that silly little secret handshake.

Another thing I want to see is more of Mario's protectiveness. I know some are hoping that he gets a little overprotective after being separated from his bro in the first movie, but if we don't get that I want to at least see Mario's pre-adventure protectiveness.

Or the kind of protectiveness he exhibited in the Super Mario Adventures comics, where even though he's focused on the fight he always keeps an eye on his brother, and the moment Luigi calls out for help he immediately becomes first priority.

On the flip side, I want to see more of Luigi being the emotional support/voice of reason. He may be a ball of nerves in moments of peril, but he's proven to be very levelheaded overall. Since I picture the arc of the sequel being Mario slowly coming to embrace the role of a true hero– with all the responsibilities that come with it– it'd be nice if he had a low moment of feeling like a failure that Luigi talks him out of.

Now, if they're going to try and top the reunion scene in the first movie, there is one surefire way to do that: slow down. As good as that hug was, there was so much going on that it was hard to feel the full impact on the first watch. Quiet things down for a moment... pump the breaks... focus in on the facial expressions... let us really feel the hug. Throw in another forehead touch while you're at it.

But you know what I'm really really excited to see? Sword and shield fight dynamic. I desperately want to see them fighting side-by-side without the superstar! Give me Mario spearheading the charge while Luigi watches his blindside! Mario throwing himself mindlessly into a dangerous stunt so long as Luigi is there to catch him, Mario fighting in close combat while Luigi draws the target's attention with long-range attacks, both of them falling into perfect synch when they need to deliver an extra-powerful blow.

I am so aggressively obsessed with the idea of their character traits being fully exhibited and explored through the way they approach a fight, you have no idea.

#In the first movie Mario's low points were either immediately solved or turned into comedy beats #which leaves room for the sequel to have an ACTUAL low point for him with serious emotional weight #but I'd say there's only a 50% chance of that happening. They seem intent on keeping things as lighthearted as possible #but I guess that's what fanfic is for #so I'm piling all my bets onto some really reeeaaally good action scenes with both the brothers involved #mario movie #super mario bros #the super mario bros #Luigi #Mario #Mario movie 2 #askbox #anon

the disastrous life of saiki k its only a comedy anime because we see everything from kusuo's pov and the things that's happens in the episode are just a normal day for him so he sees everything like normal and even comedic

I just KNOW that if it was from someone else's pov the anime would turn into psychological horror

#JUST LOOK AT THE TIME LOOP EPISODE OMG #he treats everything as a comedy or just as an annoyance cuz is the everyday thing for him #but damn #ku wont acknowledge his problems #at least he wont acknowledge them as slmething seriously he will just call them a bother #if it wasnt a comedy ppl would also acknowledge more how weird his family is #dont get me wrong btw #i love them but you cannot convince me that kusuke's behaviour is right.... #and abt kurumi and kuniharu #you cant convice me that they dont have the fault of kusuke's behaviour #They must have taught Kusuke that it is not okay to modify your brother's power limiters so that when he removes one his darkest secret will #-be revealed to the world #COME ON GUYS #kusuke explained that in front of these two EVERYOEN SAW THAT #WHY NO ONE ACKNOWLEDGES HOW FUCKED UP IT THIS?? #these two didnt said anything #they were just surprised for two seconds but nothing else #again dont get me wrong #they have good intentions and everything but i think that theyre not fully capable of having kids #no one is ready to have kids but in this case there is a genius with psychopath tendencies and saitama w pink hair #there is a lot of things that could go wrong #even worse if they cannot pick up some fucked up things like what i mentioned before #theyre trying his best tho #(at least kurumi is) #but its not enough #saiki k #the disastrous life of saiki k #kusuo saiki #kusuke saiki #kurumi saiki

these are the same person to me

#dave foley #james spader #same person but he comes in comedy and drama flavors #did i watch the entirety of Crash like 'wow the Kids in the Hall guy is really branching out'? maybe so #he's got the range (dave spader) #also that guy from stargate sg-1 fits in here somewhere #though i guess he was actually replacing james spader so that was intentional... #kids in the hall

i regularly forget that everybody else on the internet isn't as Inherently Used To miguel and his... well, Everything, as i am, which. has consistently made atsv trailer reactions REALLY funny for all the Wrong Reasons to Me Only

A Guy. #a guy who is vvv clever and also has Spider Powers yes but still fundamentally in his heart Just Some Guy w/ a lot of unprocessed issues #anyways i Know how lame miguel ohara actually is and that outweighs any and all potential fear or worry i could ever have of him lmao #when hes cool it;s never on purpose.

What if the reason they repeatedly break Gangle's comedy mask with seemingly no remorse is bc the comedy mask makes her just like really, really annoying

A situation for your consideration: after Prentiss and the worms die, Martin still isn’t comfortable going back to his flat. Elias, however, isn’t going to just let an employee (who isn’t Jon) keep living in the institute. So Jon, fully exhausted and traumatized, accidentally offers to let Martin stay with him while he finds a new place.

So Jon is desperately digging into his coworkers’ lives, stalking them, digging through their trash, the whole shebang. And Martin’s in the kitchen watching him mutter “Supplemental” and stare at pictures of Tim’s house or talk about following Sasha to Madame Tussaud’s or even laugh about Elias’ history as a “pothead”. He’s complained at work with Tim, done the intervention, and then finally one day when Jon is getting all up in his head about one red herring or another, Martin just.

“That doesn’t even make sense, you know.”

Jon, who had completely forgotten he had a flat mate for the time being, desperately tries to hide his recorder and notes. “Sorry, no, what?”

“Tim suddenly leaving a good job and getting into paranormal research doesn’t make him suspicious. It means he probably had an encounter. Like almost anyone at the institute who wasn’t just desperate for any job. It’s not suspicion.”

Jon stares blankly. Martin shrugs and goes back to fixing up tea for them both. “Coming up with crackpot, paranoid theories for how all of are out to get you is all well and good, but context is important too. Tim and Sasha were your friends in research, right? What would they gain by killing Gertrude? You knew them at that time, right?”

“Uh.” Jon, still shocked, starting to lean towards defensive, “W-well. Sasha would have made an excellent Head Archivist. She easily could have been given the promotion. Which…which could lead to my death in turn. Al-although I can’t rule out outside influences, of course.”

Martin shrugs. “Of course.”

“And Tim… well. He’s trickier to nail down. Whatever sent him here… it could be anything. And- and he was missing in the tunnels for a good long while. He might have moved Gertrude’s body to a more easily findable location.”

Martin considers that, bringing out a mug to Jon. “…plausible, both. But, you know them. Sasha is dedicated and absolutely willing to go to far lengths to get what she wants, but I’ve never seen her actually hurt someone.”

“She killed Timothy Hodge.”

“The- the worm man?! Yeah, you would have too. That’s not the same thing and you know it.”

Jon purses his lips and takes the tea. “…okay, maybe, but. Still. But Tim still has a lot of unanswered questions.”

“So you ask him. /Politely/. Or, actually, don’t. Not now. That ship has sailed for you. He’s pretty angry with you. But. He’s your friend, Jon. We’re your friends.” He sighs. “Look, you’re scared. We all are. But I’m not about to let you take it out on us anymore. So. You are not allowed to keep your weird paranoid theories just to yourself and your recorder anymore.”

“My- my what? I don’t-“

“I’m home a lot more than you think I am, Jon.”

Silence for a moment, a defensive tension, then a slump. “That’s…that says something about how little prepared I am, I think.”

“Yeah, probably. But I want you to bring them to me. We’ll talk them through together, and you can have someone to pull you back from the edge when you’re going too far.” Martin sips his tea. “I mean, I already told you my big secret, and I’m living in your flat, so you’re keeping a constant eye on me anyway.”

“That’s…that’s true. And, I suppose, an extra investigative force wouldn’t go amiss…”

“Probably not.”

Jon sighed, examined his tea skeptically, then sipped it. “Fine, yes, alright. I’ll keep you in the loop, if I must.”

“Good. And I’ll try to calm the others down, so long as you play nice. I’m not having you lose your friends, Jon. We’re all in a rough place. But we can still get better.”

“Hm.” Jon took another sip, less tentative this time. “It would be nice to cross people off the list. I don’t like watching over my shoulder all the time.”

“And you’re not that great at it, honestly,” Martin joked. Jon smiled weakly. “It’ll be okay, Jon. We’ll figure it out, get things back on track. You and me, yeah?”

Jon was quiet for a moment, then hesitantly nodded. “…Yes. Yes, I hope so.”

Episode 477: Beware of dreams

The more efficient a means of communication is, the sooner it is likely to be choked with unwanted messages, some of them harmful to recipients who engage with them. We describe this tendency by saying that eventually, everything turns into email. One of the most potent means of communication on Dark Shadows have been dream visitations from supernatural beings. As early as #10, matriarch Liz,…

I’m sorry but I have to indulge my judgemental side today. I am begging some of you to learn just ... a little bit of media literacy. Please. I saw someone call people out for calling pyro a creature because apparently they had gotten it into their head that the reason people call pyro some sort of beast or perhaps a creature ... is because their gender is obscured and therefore the people who say this can’t see a nonbinary character without equaling them to something nonhuman.

As if people aren’t calling pyro a creature because he looks like THIS

and moves like THIS

Like them being genderweird in some way is a natural conclusion and makes sense for her character but also it was not intentional, we made that up. the CREATURE thing is VERY CLEARLY intentional on the design side. Calling it a creature is not a social justice issue, it is a result of people understanding visual shorthand. and. having eyes.

If you’re uncomfortable with genderweird people being called nonhuman, that’s fine. Nothing wrong with that. But also you have very much picked, possibly the very worst character to headcanon as NB? This is on you.

#gif warning #flashing gif #negativity cw #tf2 #pyro tf2 #i want to make it clear i definitely also see pyro as genderweird and by extension nb #but that was not intended by the authors #the intention was to make a faceless force of terror because she's based on pyros from ww2 #who were meant to spread fear and disarray and confusion #and afaik had the masks look terrifying on purpose. #I'm not 100% well versed in this stuff but like I know this much #all the giddiness and gayness and pyroland and being. yknow. like that. is added on top for the character contrast bc tf2 is a comedy #anyway. i'm not genre savvy enough for going into detail but you get the point. you get the point
