I so can't judge you. I love Guy so much and in the last episode he led a pogrom and I didn't even care. I was like "Aww Guy you are having so much fun murdering the Jews!"

i think maybe our reactions are a little... this is a safe place to like bad stuff? or something? maybe? though sometimes i think i might be subconsciously dealing with Issues. but then sometimes i think maybe i just have an unhealthy attraction to very broken characters. the other night i had a 2am re-watch of all the HCL vids i have saved. apparently joe is STILL my favourite because oh maaaaan.

re: ROS - did you nab a download? i might torrent it and rewatch it myself. it's been a lot of years, but i would love to see it again.

dude, this is the worst timing as sleep is upon me, but this:

I guess looking at killers and misogynists and saying OH HOW CUTE AWWW WHO NEEDS A HUG? does sort of reimagine them with us in the position of power and make them less threatening.i think is definitely a big part of a lot of stuff in my head. and you know, i am OKAY with that. i feel like, i'm 100% allowed to twist fictional folk in my brain so that they fit MY unhealthy fantasies of invincibility - i mean. the creators did that for themselves already a lot of the time, i have always been unclear on why i ought not to too. there are clearly issues in what i choose to imagine, but i don't actually, despite joking about it, actually think that it makes me broken; however, further analysis when i have slept ( ... )

I need to read the source. Liked the movie a lot. Loved Jeffrey Dean Morgan even though he plays a scumbag. I can't get behind the Rorschach love. The actor creeps me out.

Psst. If you can stand to read comics on your computer, my graphic novel uploads still work.

Ooh, I was hoping you wouldn't spoil yourself, even though it's been killing me to not tell you about certain things!

well, it was not the explosion i had been expecting? (and it's the closest thing to an honourable death, no? he died for a principle! (AND with his mask off. that did surprise me.)
