inverness here they come!!!!

diversity win the evil dictator supports gay people

you might think a show about 4 detectives solving a murder would be very pro cop but instead the show had all 4 detectives, individually and at different times, act outside of and go against the police institution in order to do what is right.

And they made all the other cop characters evil and corrupt.

a shame all of them weren't in the same room together i think it would have been fun

What Bodies (2023) taught me so far:

Mommy issues don’t just alter your brain chemistry, more importantly it can alter the fucking timeline(s)

Be Gay, Solve Crimes. Don’t Perform Heterosexual Acts Against Your Nature Or Your Bloodline Will Create An Evil Cult And A Fascist Regime. Also, Your Many Times Great Grandson Will Blackmail You And Fuck His Many Times Great Grandmother. Be Warned.

?????? Is a “utopia” built of genocides and evil cult conspiracies worth protecting and dying for???????? NO.

Ever had a date with a walking corpse? Best first date a girl can ask for apparently.

Intentionally give your past self such extensive trauma he becomes the bestest version of himself. 😈

Sometimes it takes 163 years to solve a murder case when certain forces are literally against you.

You say she’s wasted on the piano, but I’m telling you bro it’s better than the fuckery she’ll be up to.

Explanation for the last meme: I think Karl would just have killed Elias when he had the chance lol

Something obvious about the detectives in Bodies I've truly appreciated is that all the detectives are set apart by some kind of "otherness" which makes it dangerous for them to exist in their world - gay man in Victorian times, Jewish man in WWII, racialised (Muslim?) woman in 2023 and woman with a disability in an otherwise "perfect" world (ha! We've all seen how non-compliant people live) - and that's even in the supposed utopia Mannix created. And yet, they are loved for who they are, whereas Mannix - by all accounts the one who should encounter less problems than all of them - is unloved until he decides to do what they've all already done - sacrifice himself. Idk I just think that's neat.

I just finished watching bodies on netflix and like..WOW what a great show. If only netflix could keep that quality up in future projects.

I also DESPERATELY need someone to write a fic where Karl adopts Esther or something, I love them and they both deserve to be happy :')

also quite obsessed with karl being as detached from the story as he is. there's nothing that makes him have to be the detective that has to be involved, but he unknowingly dooms himself by agreeing to work with the KYAL cult. every other detective basically deals with elias head on except weissman, who only meets him right before he kills him. like he's right when he says "by my choices" because everything that leads him to being mixed up with the mannix cult is himself. it's the gambling debts and the choice to do the dirty work for an organisation he knows nothing about. he's the only one that doesn't encounter that body doing police work and it's specifically because he's told to cover it up. he gets himself into the mess and eventually fixes it but the fact that esther always dies in the doomed timelines and he's always too late even if he starts wanting to change things ("till this child. esther.") it just makes me very ill

the way mannix is like « actually i’m an ally » during that whole transportation to the other prison scene and proceeded to do what he did
