Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I think it was resolved but I can’t remember exactly how, so not 100% confident. There’s none in this episode.

Man, I remembered there was emotional trauma but forgot about all the injuries and such onscreen. Much flinching

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I believe that the "journalist" was telling night shift about them (sure, dude), which felt like a bow on the story

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

That's a bummer, Matt. What a strange world.

Thursdays are an inconvenient time for me for new Pitt to come out, but I hope to get to episode 3 tonight, maybe?

The guy from Empty Netters addressed the texts. (Basically what you'd expect -- they were taken out of context, it was from before he saw the show, etc.) [link]

Yeah, I don't think they get that what has most people up in arms isn't just that they were skeptical/unwelcoming of the show before they saw it, but rather the slurs and MAGA dogwhistles they used in being dismissive of its creators and audience. And the fake/performative nature of their sudden 180° when it boosted their viewership immensely and they realized there was cash to be had from piggybacking on queer entertainment.

Unrelated to anythng y'all are talking about - watched the first episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms because I remember liking the Dunk and Egg stories maybe more than ASoIaF and certainly more than Fire and Blood and whatnot. It was pretty slow, I hope it picks up
