idk there’s something very interesting about how people will say things like this about billy-
“he deserved it” “he wasn’t listening to his dad” “it wasn’t that bad” “he deserved to die”
you know, things abusers would say
and then they’ll say things like this about the karen & billy situation-
“he looked older” “he initiated it” “she didn’t actually do anything” “she was the victim/was vulnerable and he took advantage”
you know, things literal groomers say
like surely you have to know you’re wrong if you’re on that side of the argument?

i know we’re all grieving the end of mentopolis but all i can think about is the potential for a second season.
like we return to the mind of elias hodge and everyone is so happy, everyone is living their best lives. conrad’s gotten a massive growth spurt, dan’s still running things from behind the scenes (as he does) with some help from his brothers in the balls, anastasia is finally getting the recognition (and attention..) she deserves as the new mayor, imelda and lance are in a lovely open marriage (both becoming eager investors in one thalamus and sons), hunch never runs out of mysteries to solve, and the wayward interests aren’t so wayward anymore, thanks to pasha and the fix.
and elias is so happy. he’s working a new and better job, finally helping to make the world a better place and watching gobstopper industries fall apart, from a safe distance of course. he’s with his coffee shop girl. maybe they’re married now, maybe they’ve got a kid coming along soon, but no matter what, they’re so happy together.
at this point, the prohibition is a distant memory, and mentopolis is sunny and full of serotonin and endorphins and life.
but it just all starts to fall apart out of nowhere. elias has a target on his back. the psychometer was going to be gobstopper’s big moneymaker. they were never going to let him get away with it. and, sure, the whole company’s probably getting shut down, and most of their higher-ups might be locked up, but what’s stopping them getting back at the guy that did this to them? they could pay their ways out and just cut their losses, rebuild it all from scratch if they can, but do they really seem like the types to do that? they’ll hold a grudge, and they’re going to start all over again with the same evil bullshit and make back the money elias lost them, but they’re going to make sure he never gets in the way again.

I am completely captivated by your descriptions of these characters i am eagerly awaiting more snippets (almost like a dog waiting for table scraps you could say)
I wish I had some better treats to give you
Both of them are like this, thinking this is pure violence and not affection involved
Also the catharsis of being a well trained weapon, treated only for your capability to destroy and realizing you can redirect that skill. Mainly, to protect those you love. Resulting in great bodily injury,,, from the other hound,,,,
But also to destroy those who tried to train you so cruelly !!
Also some old mech concept sketches - one of which has been more developed but we still trying and full of to many ideas
I luv u coyote

Ethically I know it’s wrong and therefore I won’t do it
But sometimes I come across posts about ships and I just want to go “You’re not original, you’re not special, you’re obnoxious and frankly childish. Keep your shit out of the tags if you’re going to just be hateful. Until you have the balls to say that George R.R. Martin is a freak who deserves to die for problematic content like you say about randos on the internet, you need to sit down and shut up so the rest of us can exist without your bull in the tags of the things we like.”
Like yes I block them, and the ppl who encourage them in the tags, but it never kills the urge to snap at them.
Like on one hand, curate my own experience by blocking, on the other hand if no one counters and tells them that they’re wrong in so many ways and have turned disgust into morality that they would never hold against mainstream art and they’re regurgitating purity culture bullshit they may never actually realize why so many older members of fandom hate them and gets so aggressive and will continue to think that they’re in the right to be hateful and attack real people
