Once again losing my mind over the fact that Jason Whittaker has fumbled literally every baddie in AIO historyā¦ this man is the Christian James Bond and yet he has absolutely flopped in every single relationship with the most attractive people ever

the mirrored appeals of richard/jason and richard/eugene are those of time, specifically regarding richard's sins. richard/jason is about richard's future: jason only knows him as the desperate hero, a gray hat in search of redemption, someone doing his best to help those he once hurt. it's the specific joy of being able to move forward with someone who doesn't have your worst self in his rearview mirror. jason gets to defend richard because of his present self without really having to reckon with his past self. richard/eugene on the other hand is all about the past and worst self. (not even just on richard's end: they meet when eugene is in the 'cast out of eden' chapter of aio's Original Sin coffee shop AU.) in a lot of ways i think richard's manipulation of nicholas adamsworth is his worst crime as well the one he shows the least remorse for, and eugene is witness to it (and still remembers it years later). to be able to move on from that into a working partnership in dbd and, hypothetically, after that into a close relationship is a triumph of the present over the past, not the future. in this way, richason has the appeal of, say, comet while richgene has the appeal of irenides -- both are incredibly romantic but the situations involved produce very different relationships.
listening again to a sacrificial escape, who at FOTF is a Saw fan š I kept waiting to hear āwould you like to play a game?ā COME ON GUYS
actually wait that makes Emily Amanda in an AIO-Sawverseā¦.. let me cookā¦.
random AIO hc #1
One Friday night, Jillian and Jules somehow convince Connie to let them get a guinea pig. His name is Fluffybutt. This is how Buck ends up getting a text from Jules at 1 AM saying āomg Buck Iām gonna be a mom!ā
relistened to the green ring conspiracy during my shift today and had some thoughts on things Iāve never noticed before.
Maybe this is reading too much into it but I got the sense that Dr. Trask was grooming Penny. Take that to whatever conclusion you will, but she was willing to (and did!!) shape her life around him. The scene where Penny and Connie are hiking and Penny mentions āIāve been on walks out here with Dr. Traskā just felt veryā¦ off to me. And when Connie questions ājust the two of you?ā Penny quickly adds āno it was usually with a few other people.ā That felt so much like a moment of Penny being aware that whatever is going on with Dr. Trask isnāt safe or normal, but she needs to hide it to protect him (similarly to how some victims of grooming/abuse/assault who have attachment to their abusers and defend them).
We also see Dr. Traskās little āBible studyā/āgroupā/whatever where he describes the beliefs of the group, which donāt quite line up Biblically. While thereās small bits of truth in there (Creation as Divine Revelation, Christās beauty reflected in humanity and art, etc.), obviously Connie has lots of questions as someone who reads the Bible. As someone whoās studied cults, I canāt believe itās taken me this many full listens to GRC to recognize that Dr. Trask displays cult-leader-like behavior, or at least has the capacity for it. Heās a charismatic leader, already in a position to have a power imbalance with āfollowersā (his students). We know that Penny struggles quite a bit sociallyā to the point that she relies on a book for social cues after experiencing Traskās betrayal (702: Childish Things). So to have someone like Dr. Trask who could assure her that she was doing the right thing, give her a place to fit in and use her talents as an artist, itās understandable to me how Penny could easily have let things slide into an overbearing mentor/adoring mentee relationship.
Idk where Iām going with all this, I just noticed the heavy undertones of grooming/abuse present in this arc and itās fascinating to look at both as a psychologist/behavioral neuroscientist and as someone whoās on the other side and healing from a similar experience

AIO moots and fans what are some (relatively short) fic concepts youāve always wanted to see written? Iād love to use some as warmup prompts to try and get back in the swing of writing daily
thinking very hard about julesā full name rnā¦ July Newmar Kendallā¦
my headcanon:
Janās full name is Janessa. She wanted a J name for her daughter, but something unique. However, she also wanted it to reflect their Mexican heritage. So she settled on Julia. But not Julia Julia, Julia as in the feminine version of the Spanish word for July (Julio). Julesā name on her birth certificate is Julia, but sheās gone by July her whole life. Her momās side of the family calls her Juli/Julita/occasionally just Lita. Nobody knows any of this until around the time of Buck and Julesā wedding, when theyāre doing paperwork to legally change her name. Sheās just trying to figure out if sheās going to hyphenate her last name to Kendall-Meltsner. Buck canāt believe that her birth name is Julia. She explains the reason to him and he thinks itās hilarious that her mom wanted her to be ānot like other girlsā since birth š
What's your take on the Eugene memory loss trilogy? (Ep 564-566)
itās such a fun transition between the novacom saga and everything with leonard meltsner! Eugeneās research losing funding is so relevant to me as a scientist right now, but hopefully I wonāt lose my memory because of it haha!! I honestly hope that with novacom 2.0 around the corner, they reference some of these wild plot points. Eugene and Katrina having to explain all of it to Buck would be so entertaining. he probably thinks that the green ring was the biggest thing that theyāve ever dealt with, wait until he finds out about the TV mind control š
