Turn out the lights.

I was so glued to the screen.

Can I just say how wild and hilarious it is that Dedra goes in for a firm business handshake upon meeting Eedy? Like, even if you've never met her and you've been warned she's awful, in what world do you not greet your mother-in-law with a polite cheek kiss or quick shoulder hug??? 🤣 Y'all she's trying her best with what she's got, but it's all advice from "how to ace a job interview" holos. I love Dedra so much.😭

That last one made me lol 😂🤣

Never forget, lol.

This was back when life was still exciting.

How it feels when you and your friends take a piss break on the road trip and just as you’re about to leave, the whole gas stop gets flooded by several busloads of university students.

Friday next week 😱😱😱😁

🤣🤣🤣 I am trying not to laugh too loud in the middle of the night.

😃👏

I nearly choked 🤣🤣🤣

It is criminal how little we got them in season2. I expected much more.To be honest, Keero is the ONLY reason I watched the show.

They were the characters I found the most intriguing and appealing. I too watched it just because of them. I didn’t care about any of the other characters. None of them made me feel anything. I watched the rest of the show as a commentay on revolutions and fascism, but only Syril and Dedra affected me. I didn’t relate to the personalities and problems of any of the good guys. They felt distant. And moralising. Syril and Dedra were more real and fleshed out. Let’s be honest, most of us don’t dream of heists and most of us will never have the resentment required to pick up a gun and go to kill or die as martyrs in a violent revolution. Most of us just dream of being acepted and recognised, most of us are closer to Syril and Dedra than we will ever be to the rebels.

I had the same reaction. That’s why I am angry at the cruelty of what they did to them. They were the most intriguing charactets, the most well developed. And the writers knew what they were doing. They were well aware of the appeal of these characters. That’s why they released the lights out scene. That’s why both seasons started with humanising Dedra only to pull the rug beneath you at the end. And they made sure to make it hurt the second time. The show is not about us, because if you care about these characters rewatching it is impossible. You can rewatch it only if you enjoy what happens to them. That’s why I don’t believe that the idea was to make us feel bad for them. It’s the same as if someone tried to assert, that degradation porn is meant to teach horrible men empathy. We see how the makers treat characters they sympathise with. And we see how they had to grasp at straws with the writing after the first arc in season two and tune down Dedra and Syril’s intelligence to build up the tension between them and have them where they wanted them. It was not about fascism, it was about punishing these two people. Remember, they could have given them any personalities, they could have made them repulsive. But they made them loners, strarved for connection and recognition, with communication issues, and who don’t fit in a crowd. And then the writers destroyed them while still treated their own self-inserts with respect. I have ranted so much about this. Dedra’s ending was the sci-fi version of “The Taming of the Shrew”, but few registered it or spoke out about it, because she conveniently was The Villain Who Did Horrible Things. (And what they did to Bix also fits the trope about breaking the strong woman.) It’s not overexaggeration to say the trauma from Syril and Dedra’s endings made me rethink the entire show. Anyway, here are my fic recommendations if you want to heal yourself from season two. This one is a great alternative to their season two arcs. And this one is a great, feel good crackfic.

The only thing keeping sane after that HUUUGE disappointment that season2 game me is that there would be some sort of Dedra series coming in the near future (but not fucking cartoon, or I'll explode). Because otherwise it would be unforgivable how they tossed her story into the bin and gave us stories of the very lame characters instead. And those fucking endless and boring wedding scenes, Cassian's jungle adventures and those fucking lame scenes with Bix.
