Doodle I Did Of John/kiy After Finishing S1

The crux of the anti trans movement is a war on bodily autonomy. They don't want you to have any agency over what you look like, how you dress, who you date, whether to have kids, etc.

They want total control over you. Not just trans people. Not just queer people. You. Everyone.

Trans people are just a scapegoat. They want total control over everyone's self expression. They want the right to mold you into their perfect little cog in their dehumanizing machine.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility. Our rights are your rights. Our destruction is your destruction.

Malevolent brain worm has infected me

God . I bet everyone who listened to the ep before me has said it already, but I genuinely think the car keys bit in the newest episode is like the best subtle horror thing malevolent has ever done.

John sorta serves the role of Arthur’s seeing eye dog. Theres an implicit trust in being forced to completely rely on someone to be your senses. And John did so good in that role for so long. He’s only ever explicitly lied ONCE (as far as we’re aware) and it was an understandable, albeit unwise act of self defense.

And then slowly the trust Arthur and the viewers are forced to hold is rattled. First by his memory degrading - but thats not his fault. His integrity is legitimately declining for reasons unknown. Its a scary thing, for Arthur, and him in equal measure. He doesn’t mean to miss details he should know, and he rushes to overcompensate when he realizes his memory has failed him. It seems noble and tragic.

He takes offense to Arthur relying on others, he seems to take it as a ‘you’re not good enough.’

And then the second blow comes. He is a creature of ulterior motives and manipulation at his core, no matter how hard he tries to play nice, its his foundation. His domain. His by rite of godhood. He can lie about what he sees. Easily. He can use Arthur’s trust however he sees fit. He can guide Arthur anywhere he wants, he can trap Arthur in any location through simple ‘yes’ or ‘no’ cues. you’re reminded that he can be unreliable on purpose. And suddenly that desire to be Arthur’s sole support seems like intentionally isolating him. Because someone else might alert Arthur of John’s misdirection and obfuscation. Might undermine his unwavering and unchallenged authority.

Its so fucked.

marylander trying to describe a tornado: imagine a crab cake

there is a sick and sadistic part of me that wants the show to end with arthur absolutely despising john. and i truly do mean pure hatred and vitriol

god i may be crazy but i think that bev put that rat poison on father Paul's water somehow

here, when sarah was checking on paul, bev filled a glass of water for him to drink

after on the same day there was a man that I forgot the name now that was fixing his sink and minutes later paul came inside the house and died from poisoning, just like joe's dog when bev poisoned it

and earlier on that episode bev was putting the poison back on the shelf. why would they show it suddenly?

pls tell me I'm not crazy I've never seen anyone talking about it
