I'm rewatching GOT and absolutely raging that some people are like "Dany was mad from the start she was always gonna be like this"
No!
Dany'a mantra has always been to protect the innocent. She killed no more than any ruler and she always gave those people a choice.
Dany had her goal, she is the reason she has her dragons, she is the reason she has the unsullied, she is the reason she has slaves were freed. She paved the way for herself when all the odds were against her.
When Jon came to her and she agreed to assist with the army of the dead she put EVERYTHING she had worked for on the line. She lost one of her children to watch him become a zombie and pawn for the Night King (can you imagine fighting your beloved child in a mindless zombie state?)
She lost so much just so that others could gain, and after all that, even after it was Arya that killed the Night King, who did everyone praise? JON? And not only that they praised him for being "man enough" to ride a dragon that SHE DID FIRST.
She was never going to be good enough for the people she risked and lost so much for.
Then after that when the war against Cersei is back on, in just one episode she loses another child, brutally right in front of her. You can see her anguish and I think the only reason she doesn't burn the shit out of Euron was because of the risk it posed to Drogon (her last freaking child!). Then they kidnap Missandei, her closest friend and cut her head off right in front of her.
At this point Dany has lost everything, the only people she really loves at the point are Drogon, Greyworm and Jon, but even Jon comes with some serious doubt for her.
Her first child was murdered by the Night King but he's already dead, so what would you do to the person who murdered your second child? You would burn the fuck out of them and all of their foundations, rip them out root and stem.
I do not believe that pre-grief Dany would have ever burned that many innocent people, however she is distraught and desperate for revenge on Cersei - the woman who took everything Dany loves and did it with a smirk on her face.
I'm not even at the last episode again yet😅
Dany deserved so much better.

to all of my dolls finding themselves:
originality is the "aesthetic" you are looking for. individuality is the "it factor" you are looking for. from your personality, pieces, hair, cadence of voice...even down to your favorite foods or special interests. you aren't supposed to change every aspect about yourself to be more palatable for everyone you meet. that actually makes you BORING!!!
"but so and so is doing this" "but what if people don't like it" ... so??? don't take people disliking your aesthetic as a sign that you need to do something different. like, of course they don't like it or have second thoughts - it's because THEY wouldn't do it themselves because it wouldn't go with THEIR given aesthetic. HELLOO??????
unless they are like minded, stop asking other people to weigh in on the things you CLEARLY like about yourself. especially if it's a core personality trait or interest. your LIFE isn't a group project. your LIFE is not a co-op game.
and yes... people will try to force you to assimilate and follow the crowd by speaking misfortune on your rebrand, your expression, your hobbies, your chosen path out of jealousy. however, that jealousy is lowkey unspoken respect for the fact you have the candor to go against homogeneity.
your authentic dedication to everything that makes you YOU is what will bring you the illustrious life you so fervently seek in the end...not some book a celebrity wrote or a youtube video. it's in YOUR DNA to be a star already in anything you want to do.
there isn't one tutorial on this world wide web that will help you if you don't realize you have the components within you first. there is NOTHING wrong with you!!! you are EVERYTHING that is right already!!!
NEVER conform to the way they think you should shine.
#thoughts#i cant stand seeing a pack mentality i hate seeing ppl shy out of who they are esp neurodivergents#while it is to be expected and is a result of our age group as well as cultural factors especially collectivism#i cannot help but reiterate how harmful it is for everyone to move as if they are the SAME PERSON! you are not so and so and they are not u#yall both just have the same hair or skin or smth you are still YOU hello#inspo is everything and dreams are a foundation BUT make it ur oWN#we all gotta start somewhere but golly gee! PUT THAT STUFF TO REST!#the obsession everyone has with humbling someone who is being themselves is old and tired!

I know the gang cares about Arthur and they knew his sickness was serious and it's part of the narrative and whatnot, but really would it have killed them to just offer the occasional "is there anything you need Arthur?" or "anything we can do to help?" or even "how are you feeling today?" - I'm sure Arthur would rather be pestered slightly than have his rapid illness get straight up ignored yknow?
#I know you can talk to one of the girls and rev swanson about it#but other than the mood being down at camp everything runs as normal#“hey arthur I know you have a serious illness but I need to you to go hunting get supplies and help micah and john and sadie and bill and-”#my face when susan started ranting about the lockbox getting broken and how upset she was and arthur was just like 😐#the guy has bigger problems susan I mean that respectfully#😭#most of arthurs greet lines in beaver hollow are asking how people are doing and thanking them#but whenever anyone speaks to arthur it's always “oh hey arthur” or “dutch told me to tell you to meet him somewhere”#or they express how much they don't like the camp and arthur just apologises#:(#arthur cares so much about them it would be nice to see them appreciate him a bit more#he saved as much of them as he could#oh arthur#rdr2#red dead redemption 2#mick squeaks#arthur morgan#red dead redemption community#red dead redemption 2 spoilers#mick thinks

burrows end ep1 is SO GOOD god im sorry but i really can't imagine the audacity of some ppl watching a 2 minute trailer for a season of Dimension 20 that hasn't come out yet and confidently saying "i know better than any of the experts involved in making it and i think they should've used a different system for this game"
like i can't even IMAGINE being aabria and logging on after the trailer for something i worked really hard on dropped and seeing a bunch of people being like 'ugh dnd was such a bad choice of system' when they had SEEN NONE OF THE SHOW??!!?! how would you know???
anyway, everything she does is literally perfect and SO immediately captivating. she is both generous and awe-inspiring in her command of the table and it is an honor to even get to watch her do what she does at all!!!! literally blessed with the presence of a ttrpg and storytelling goddess and some of y'all have the audacity to complain. couldn't be me though!
#also like.... idk do ppl give this same energy to the white man dms?? i think not#like yeah different systems are great!#but i think what makes D20 special is all the ways that they take the system everyone knows best and show you#all the possibilities you can achieve with it#idk my personal opinion but i think if you say dnd is a bad storytelling system u simply lack creativity#know the rules so you can break them baby!#anyway#needed to rant about this somewhere#dimension 20#burrow's end#aabria iyengar

Unfortunately due to TOH being cut short by Disney a lot of character arcs and more storyline could not be fully fleshed out and finished as Dana had to wrap up everybody’s story in just a few episodes
I'm fully aware that Disney's intervention is responsible for a lot of the plotlines getting suffocated. Which is why I don't think it's fair to go harassing crew members with "why didn't THIS happen??" and all that, because nobody really knows what they endured working on those final episodes and how much they had to cut and rewrite. But from things Dana has said, it was likely a very stressful and exhausting experience. So I don't like to make assumptions about the crew being incompetent. Nobody knows how the season WOULD have turned out if they had been granted full creative freedom and breathing room to develop it to their hearts content.
However, me not directing personal ire towards the crew doesn't mean that I think that the show is immune to criticism. Its flawed. It might not be entirely the crew's fault but that doesn't mean we can't talk about how it's flawed. If anything, I think acknowledging and dissecting its weaknesses is a good learning opportunity for what we should consider when creating our own stories.
Season 3 is a bit of a mess. There's good stuff. There's some less than good stuff. I think ultimately, as a story about Luz, King and Eda, it knocks it out of the park. When they were left with no other option, they decided to prioritize the writing of their three protagonists and I think that was the correct choice.
But I've been thinking about the three specials and how they stand on their own, quality wise, and honestly, there's valid criticism to be said that is completely unrelated to the shortening.
Bear in mind that the crew has known since Follies that the show was getting cut short and they needed to start wrapping up loose ends. So it's not like they started writing Thanks to Them believing it was the first of 20+ more episodes. They knew that they were going to be writing a 40 minute special. So the execution had to be tight, concise and satisfying, right?
Well...it was....weird. Definitely fun. Good for fan service. The main hook was the witch kids navigating the human world in their dorky witchy way. And initially, that was enough. But once the novelty of that wears off and we focus on the plot of the special, what do we have left?
Thanks to Them is very guilty of lore baiting. Dropping in stuff that they know damn well that they're never going to elaborate on, leaving the audience with a feeling of intrigue that is never going to be satiated.
I personally think that is just bad writing. They knew they didn't have a full season 3 and rather than rewrite the means of which the hexsquads finds answers, they still made the choice to drop in what are most likely vague ideas from the initial draft.
I think, if they had no intention of developing it in future specials, there was no point to that scene of Masha telling the Wittebane story. It was just...filler. To stretch out the running time. Which is....kind of precious. Only 40 minutes. If you're obsessive enough about lore, you already knew the story from the Hollow Mind paintings. That scene was for casual viewers. Which is useless, because there's no point in casual viewers learning about Evelyn and Caleb because it never went anywhere.
Also. I personally think that if there was any value to learning the Wittebane lore without making it plot relevant, it would be for the sake of character development. We wanted to know how the kids would react to this knowledge.
Well how did they react?
*Shrug* They seemed a little unnerved but they kinda forgot about it the second they got off the hayride.
So what was the point of all that? What was the point?
Is it because we wanted "Goodbye, Evelyn," to be more of gut punch?
Was it worth it? Was "Goodbye, Evelyn" worth it? We know fucking nothing about Evelyn.
I think the rebus was a stupid and lazy means for the kids to discover Titan's blood. You introduce this mysterious object that was hidden under the floorboards and then you just use it as a plot device.
When the kids uncover the rebus and find the secret code inside, the viewer is not thinking about how it can be used as a means to an end (finding blood) The viewer is thinking "what the fuck is that thing and how did it get there and how did Flapjack know it was there?"
Questions that will not be answered <333
ALL IM SAYING is that I'm sure the crew could have come up with another way for the kids to have a Titan's blood treasure hunt. Maybe they could have dug a little more into the history of Gravesfield and follow leads on weird things happening on this one spot in the graveyard (which turns out to be because there's magical energy there, revealed when Luz realizes she can use glyphs)
I just think that if you're gonna leave the mystery box a mystery, you shouldn't have included it.
And I know. Its subtle storytelling. There's elements of what could have been a far more complex story and they're leaving hints of it here and there.
Well the thing about that is I think the hints are very unsatisfying and weaken the episode's plot significantly.
Also I don't think they should get to just pick and choose what parts of the lore are subtle and what parts are ham-fisted.
YES we are going to be reminded like three times that Flapjack is being secretive and hiding things from Hunter.
NO we are never going to get a payoff for that because he gets shanked and dies first.
BUT!! BUT!! If you squint, its IMPLIED that Flapjack belonged to Evelyn and blah blah blah
You don't get to rub things in the audience face and then choose to be all subtle about it at the last minute. Pick one or the other.
Anyway....I think they could have written Thanks to Them as more of an intriguing and suspenseful horror mystery where they spend forty minutes gathering clues and everything finally clicks together at the very end. That's not what we got.
We got a very weak attempt on the Hexsquad's part to be little detectives, but like a minute of screen time was devoted to them dicking around in a library, a costume shop, and a zoo.
I don't think we can blame the shortening for this.
#very sorry i got distracted and went on a little rant about ttt#this was unrelated to your ask i just tend to go on tangents#i needed to unload it somewhere tho

Jon gives a passing thought to his old clothes Somewhere Else
------
[ID: A pencil and paper sketch of Jonathan Sims and Martin Blackwood walking hand in hand, while the latter holds a paper bag of groceries. Jon is wearing a large cardigan over a turtleneck, and pajama bottoms that are much too big on him. Arrows point to each of these articles of clothing, letting us know that they are all Martin's originally. Jon is looking off to the left, contemplatively, and says "Huh, I wonder where my tweed jacket went. I haven't worn it in a while." To which his spouse laughs and says sarcastically, "Gee, I wonder why that is." Jon responds "Me too." not catching Martin's sarcasm. \End ID]
#the idea came from anothr idea of post canon Jon wearing his s1 wardrobe#since i never draw him in anything thats not owned by martin after that point#also i wanted to experiment with how i think jon and martin would style their hair in somewhere else#jon gets midlength hiar in a ponytail cuz thats what i love drawinf him in#(and also thats my hair basically hehe)#and martin gets a growinf buzz cuz i think hed enjoy that but also i need to show that its been a bit since the cut#idk im picky#might do a digital thing to acrually flush the designs out maybe#rant over#tma#the magnus archives#jonathan sims#martin blackwood#jmart#jonmartin#fabric rustles#my art#my doodles

im very normal about fuuta in general but i dont think im ever going to emotionally recover from his fire motif and what it represents for his character and how he reflects the greater theme of justice so that means i must rant about it
(more under the cut because this got longer than i expected whoopsies)
so anyway fire is pretty obviously supposed to be symbolic of his passion for justice right? that fire is all over the place in bring it on. he's wielding it to take down enemies, his signature weapon is a flaming sword. it's what he uses to lead the campaign against the people he's after, the people he's deemed in the wrong.
it's a fucking flaming sword, it's badass as hell!!!! it's what a hero of justice, a knight, would use!!!! it's cool as shit, it's his symbol of justice.
that's how he sees his justice in trial 1.
he's righteous, he wants so badly to believe he was a hero, he was doing it all for a good cause, for justice. his passion for justice was a tool he used to meet those ends, to be a hero, to wave it valiantly in the face of enemies.
the fire, however, is conspicuously absent once he's noticed the blood on his hands
interestingly, despite backdraft as a song title being much more related to his fire motif than bring it on, fire is actually surprisingly absent from the mv's visuals. fire, as in actual orange burning fire, doesn't show up much at all in backdraft except for when both fuuta and his victim begin turning to ashes, and a short bit near the end right after the last chorus when the spraycan explodes in fuuta's face. you know what the mv does show a lot of though?
smoke. and ash. the byproducts of a fire, the byproducts of fuuta's passion for justice.
bringing it back to firefighting for a moment: as many people have already pointed out, backdraft as a firefighting term refers to when a fire that has consumed all available oxygen suddenly explodes when more oxygen is made available, such as when a window or door breaks. the thing about fire hazards, though, is if the fire and the heat don't do someone in, usually it's the smoke. the smoke inhalation causes breathing difficulties and suffocation, making it even more difficult for a person to escape the fire.
in backdraft, instead of fire itself, what we're shown is these byproducts of a fire. the smoke is damaging to human health, and the ash shows that the fire has burned things up and caused destruction, in this case killing someone. all we're shown is the negative results of a fire, in sharp contrast to its badass, positive portrayal in bring it on.
hell, even fuuta himself starts turning to ashes and the spraycan explodes in his face, showing how even he is experiencing the negative results of a fire that has gotten out of his control, how even he has gotten burned by his passion for justice. or, is it es' desire for justice?
translation of fuuta's t2 vd by onigiriico
Me, too! I was like that, too! I also didn't think it'd turn out that way!
You and I are exactly the same breed! The only difference between us is the clothes we're wearing.
fuuta's justice and es' justice, it's all the same in his head now, he directly tells es that they're the same, that we're the same. it's all the same hunger for justice that ends up causing harm even if that wasn't the intention.
you know that saying that fire is a good servant but a bad master? i think that's pretty applicable to fuuta's situation. his passion for the pursuit of justice was great when it was still a tool, a sword he could wield, after all he did manage to shed light on some people's wrongs and bring them to justice. but once it exploded, when it became a backdraft that even he could no longer control, it did more damage than he intended.
it burned even him, it killed a middle schooler. and he recognizes that in backdraft. he only shows us the ways fire that becomes a hazard can go wrong.
translation of fuuta's t2 vd by onigiriico
What did I do? All I did was say that what's wrong is wrong! I was just going off at a bad person online!
I didn't think they would die! I just thought that wrong things are wrong, and that a crime is a crime! You get that, don't you? See? Aren't we the same?
it's just. fire is such a good metaphor for the message of fuuta's character and his arc. it's an amazing illustration of how dangerous it is when you feed a desire for justice too much, when you forget to put a boundary on how you handle that fire. eventually the fire spreads just like how passion for justice becomes zealotry, until more and more things fall under what you consider to be 'punishable' by your standards and goes out of control to hurt people that probably didn't deserve it. it's a warning to set proper boundaries on our own definition and desire for justice and what's 'right' so the good intentions doesn't spiral into harm. it's a reflection of our attitudes towards milgram as the audience responsible for their justice and forgiveness. it's amazing i love it i love fuuta's fire symbolism i love fuuta's character arc and i love milgram's writing so so so much
#milgram#fuuta kajiyama#im sure someone has already gone through every point in this post before but i was having fuuta thoughts and they needed to go somewhere#this might be super disorganized this is essentially the first draft and i kinda just word vomited lol#anyways i love milgram i love picking it apart for its themes#tangentially i might do another whole thing comparing fuuta to kotoko but hm not sure if i can add much to that discussion#maybe after deep cover comes out#i actually really like kotoko for similar reasons to fuuta actually she's an interesting case study of a desire for justice that corrupts#anyways sorry this wasnt that deep an analysis or anything i mean i didnt even pull up images it's a glorified rant more than anything lol#hm might edit this post to add images tomorrow ill see if i remember

I really want to hear like negative takes from you about either characters or the game
Do you think when you get comfy enough you’d share?
its not quite about being comfortable, I just also like to focus on what I enjoy more than what I don't. Except when I want to *bitch*, but I generally do that with trusted friends (not just regarding dr).
#I've mentioned most of what I passionately dislike and I don't feel a need to rehash it or anything. It's in there somewhere#not an art#It's a little too easy for me to bitch about things so I'm careful to pick my audience. Lest I regret what I say#Shout-out to T my friend T from Life for listening to all my pissy rants

i've been dead and gone bc of school and jobsearching and everything happening all at once but ive been playing the boktai series games lately and i'm enjoying it a lot. I just got past the third boss in boktai 2. I don't know why but i'm enthralled with these games, i highly recommend them
#WOE TEN THOUSAND TAG MUSINGS BE UPON YE (this is a warning)#boktai#(pointing) the battle network fan has fallen for the crossover marketing 20 years late#the first gif is bc i imagine the bosses waiting all polite like for django to finish eating healing items when heal scumming in fights.#twenty apples a day keeps the damage away#django is like a son to me hes just a little guy#if the text is hard to read in the third image it says “The tick damage in sunlight brothers”#i find it funny that vampire django still gains his energy from sunlight after turning. his voiceline changes too#it's hard to tell if it's bc hes supposed to sound gruff or like hes in pain. but it makes me feel bad for recharging energy like that#i figure he'd be wound up abt this since it seems he views any connection to his father with a lot of weight#(e.x: zazie pointing out he's crying just after the gun del sol got stolen at the start of 2)#hence why he's depressed in that image#also all the official art of him looks very cool but im incapable of seeing him like that his sprite makes him look like a scruffy dog#im torn between thinking it's cute nd wanting to make fun of him with doodles. least typical vampire appearance with the most typical power#the way you kill immortals (vampires) in this game is so metal i need to rant abt it Somewhere#so like boktai is a game series abt vampire hunting but it's rather sci-fi abt it. instead of more typical weapons you use solar energy#the immortals resurrect after being killed#but this can be prevented via purification. the way this goes is#after winning a bossfight the enemy will get sealed in a coffin. that you then to drag allll the way back outside the dungeon#(often with new puzzles thanks to the coffin being an extra weight)#all the while the immortal inside tries to escape#the objective is to get the immortal to a. summoning circle i guess?#housing devices called pile drivers. they're more like lenses or mirrors though.#they focus sunrays on the coffin purifying the immortal after a brief fight that's like#preventing the boss from attacking the pile drivers until it dies#like. this doesn't sound all that special but most bosses you fight are sentient and i just think it's a bit of a brutal method#for a main protagonist to use#i keep thinking of how it must feel to do it for a living. something like a funeral driver but you're the murderer and the corpse isn't dea#and instead of a funeral you're taking them to a mega death laser array that'll slowly chip away at their health#and then boktai 2 inflicts that on django and im like. is he ok (he's ok but he died)

i honestly do not understand this never ending conversation about tay’s lack of promo. i know to some people the success / numbers is a big part of stan culture meanwhile im truly just here to enjoy the music so maybe that’s why i don’t get it. but regardless, the artist in question is TAYLOR SWIFT? yes for smaller artists there is maybe more concern about charting and numbers but i have literally zero doubt that ttpd will debut at number 1 and quite frankly, i doubt taylor does either. her fame has surpassed the need for promo. i don’t think there’s anyone that would be even slightly interested that doesn’t know she has an album dropping
i also think the people complaining / worrying about the lack of promo are severely undervaluing the merits of the subtle promo strategy. like i said, at this point in her career taylor doesn’t need to worry about getting listeners, but probably if she was doing more promo that would definitely cause backlash. and if she released a lead single ahead of time it would just give people the opportunity to make judgements and write up criticisms and possibly deter certain people from listening to the rest because they would feel they heard enough and imagine the rest would be the same. instead, she’s building massive anticipation. everybody is going to be listening bc she’s been so cryptic about it that no one knows what to expect. sometimes no promo IS the best promo.
and lastly, i think another big part of why certain swifties want a massive promo campaign is the desire for more “content” from taylor. i think this is inherently problematic regardless but especially with an album dealing with such personal emotional pain, i understand why she might not want to go on a massive campaign talking about it. instead, she’s having a great week hanging out with her new boyfriend at coachella and knowing that is making me way happier than if she was suiting up doing interviews every night. let’s all please try to stop exploiting taylor and demanding things of her and instead remember that she’s also just a human that has a right to live her life as she chooses, even during an album release week

people be really stanning obito when he committed crimes and ruined a young beautiful couple's life and then be hating on itachi. so unserious just say you hate pretty and popular people
just say you hate pretty and popular people
Hehehe, yeah. Look at this beauty.
*swoons*
Jokes aside. It's baffling how people favour Obito over Itachi and then there are those who wonder how can people love Itachi and think so highly of him. I've never understood love for Obito, at least at Itachi's expense. Obito wanted to change the system. Which one? He himself created the problem by attacking the village.
Minato and Kushina didn't deserve to die the day their son was born. Naruto didn't deserve to go through any of what he did. Itachi didn't deserve to be put in the position where he had to choose between not to let a horrific war happen and kill his parents. Sasuke didn't deserve to go through literally anything he did since his childhood. Yahiko didn't deserve to die either. Nagato didn't deserve to lose his best friend. Konan didn't deserve to lose the love of her life. Akatsuki could have been revolutionary in keeping the peace.
People blame Danzo, but was Danzo alone in all this? Surely, Obito and Danzo didn't work as a team but their goals seemed to work out just fine from the beginning. Itachi should be blamed, but Obito planning war was okay. Many would say 'he was just lying to Sasuke to make Itachi look like a good guy'. If so, why was he sneaking into the village. And if the clan had actually revolted, he'd have taken advantage of the incident too. He wasn't visiting the village for the sake of nostalgia and some picnic.
Not just that, he knew from the start Kakashi wasn't responsible for Rin's death. He knew Rin committed suicide and Kakashi was suffering from the trauma as a result. Yet he blamed him and his whole arc is about that.
He was all about his pain, his sufferings - which I do not deny - and how the world needs to know and pay for what was done to him.
Itachi on the other hand never had much of a choice. Still he took the responsibility (which his haters somehow don't see) and never made his pains others' problems.
In the evil hierarchy of the Uchiha clan Itachi must be at the second lowest. The lowest would be Sasuke, who doesn't actually kill people. xD

I‘m once again listening to tdv and oh my god „Für Sarah“ is literally so dear to me because it not only establishes Alfred as being a poor little meow meow but also as fundamentally not the right person for Sarah.
Sarah is very much so looking for a strong, hardened man that is cold, determined, calm. She is looking for Krolock or at least what Alfred perceives the Count to be like.
And Alfred has realized that, he is aware of it but so caught up in his compassionate, gentle and soft self, as well as his own insecurity that he is okay with losing himself to be what Sarah wants/ needs.
And that willingness to let go of his personality/ morals in such a way is strongly connected to the stereotypical female gothic heroine. Alfred takes on the role of „gothic heroine“ right after he arrives at the castle. Maybe even before that. Alfred is active as the professor’s savior right at the beginning of the musical. But even then he is looking for guidance, someone to „follow“ (think about him shouting for the professor). He wants to be the „male hero“, saving the girl, that‘s who he understands himself to be but he is not.
Sarah however is all of those things. From the moment she decides to leave her home (going on the hero’s journey) she displays the stereotypically „male hero‘s“ determination, courage that Alfred is so keen to acquire. So naturally she goes on looking for someone similar to her. Someone that she can not only argue with but also learn from. She is looking for a way out and while Alfred is a good guy (in tune with his emotions, incredibly kind with a huge amount of compassion etc.) he is not and could not ever be her mental equal. He is literally willing to lose himself for her. Which would simply be unhealthy for both of them.
Alfred would not be able to give Sarah what she is looking for, which due to his caring, giving personality, would be his deepest desire/ wish for their relationship. My guy would probably break completely.
Like he literally sais that he'd give his blood for her. And it happens. In the end Alfred has given himself to Sarah completely and thereby lost his own chance of happiness (not ever reaching his academic goals, not being able to uphold his moral code because at the end of the day he will have to kill to survive).
Alfred gives, gives, gives and Sarah takes, takes, takes and through no fault of their own they just wouldn't be very happy together.
[[EDIT: Apparently Sarah has to hold the sponge from above and Alfred has to hold the sponge at the bottom every time they interact with it on stage. Just seemed interesting in connection to this train of thought.]]
