fuckin losing it with the brain slug surgery discourse, in a good way. Y'all are heroes and scholars, whatever side you come down on, just for wrestling thoroughly with this universe.
I will say that the Gunner Channel isn’t meant to be a bunch of heroic people. In this same ep, Gnosis called them “selfless” and they went around the table going “uh actually no, I’m just a fucked up lil guy” one by one
[ID: a drawing of skip takamori from dimension 20, flying with a jet pack. skip is a middle-aged japanese man with a thick mustache, five-o’clock shadow, and dark hair that is greying at the temples. he wears a brown jacket, jeans, and cowboy boots. he is clutching the straps of a jetpack, trailing green gas behind him, and is saying “right on!” with a mild expression.]
some faves from last night!! literally can’t wait for more of this season
[ID: sketchy red drawings of characters from dimension 20′s a starstruck odyssey. a full-body sketch of sidney sundry shows her fanning out her skirt with one hand and saluting with her cannon-arm. she smiles brightly, eye wide. a portrait of barry shows him without his sunglasses, making a surf’s up sign and saying “Barry!” a portrait of skipper shows him grimacing in anger.]
aso where Brennan integrated his world building abt Alternate brainslug cultures and houses where the slugs cohabitate and live symbiotically with their host bodies when the gunner channel was on the Grivarr worlds and saw the brainslug exhibit, and integrated Skip’s realization that his relationship to his host body could be more than predatory and exploitative INTO this arc about rebelling against his father and the expectations of his royal house and helped to support the attempted season theme about humanity and autonomy, instead of shoving it in during the last ten minutes of the show
If I was in this ASO episode I would simply not give them the trays back. I am keeping every single good tray I am given. I will not make a weapon out of them, but I will make a fort out of them. Maybe I’d like, break them and sharpen them, but a fort sounds more fun
Riva being drugged the entire time is incredibly funny
I do have to ask how the fuck they plan on transporting them out of there for an escape when they are in a large dome though I am not going to lie
However; Lucceino kiss, Skip’s weird fuckery obsessed dad, Lou/Gunnie not only recognizing the Morse code but linking it to squid game, the Barry reunion, Zorch completely freaking out and Sydney hyping everybody up all in one episode was Such a fever dream I am screaming in real time right now
