Maxwell Gotch is such pure distilled Murph character energy, I’m obsessed with him. Guy who is generally unpleasant in social situations and constantly puts his foot in his mouth because he is hounding for plot information, guy convinced he’s the sanest person in the room, guy who’s whimsy reserves are severely lacking, guy who is constantly, deservedly, bullied by all the other pcs, guy who lusts for blood in a distinctly wrestling manner, and guy who’s, quite frankly, a little gay with it. He’s like a cross between the three main Murph character archetypes of grizzled plothound with a distaste for shenanigans, big buff dude who’s two steps away from being a professional wrestler, and shithead asshole in their 20s

Imagine being so consumed by your ex that you not only run with a pack of coyotes for a while after you divorce, repeatedly kill her granddaughter’s would-be assassins, and join a life-threatening mission no questions asked, but you also get back onto the ship you used to share, and immediately think, yeah, I’ll take her bed. Daisuke you are unmatched.

I fucking love, I LOVE when Brennan and Murph are trying SO HARD to do a serious bit of character acting over the table, and they both just fucking BREAK because they ended up in a battle of 'how absurd can I can go without making this too stupid but cracking them first'.

so much of life is needing to pee. enough already
