I’m still kind of obsessed with Prism, actual TikTok music star Gen-Z girl, taking one look at the deranged flaming homosexual millennial pyromaniac on the team and being like, “Yes, that one is bestie now.”

"I had to communicate layers using only my eyes in that scene. There are so many things he is saying to that doctor with his eyes: 'I hate you, I wanna kill you, I am alive.' But also...fear. He's a fragile guy in a hospital gown with a scalpel, surrounded by these beings he thinks are monsters."

y'all. the hive is lonely. they feel some kind of loss, something missing. they are desperate for something new.
carol admitted she likes them. they talked openly about manipulation, their motives & goals & emotions & desires. carol was going to say 'someone has to fix things, even if she has to be alone, even if they have to leave her again.'
they want to understand carol and they were moved by her emotion. they know she's suffering and they wanted to make her feel better. it was from love.
but i really think they also want that human connection. and it's something they can't have anymore within the hivemind. not in a way that's special or unique anymore. the only way they can experience anything new anymore is with the individuals.
by the end of the episode zosia/the hive is trying much harder to use "i" when talking to carol. they're pulling zosia's memories specifically, remembering the individual person zosia was. and finally FINALLY told carol that manousos was going to be visiting. it kills me that they waited until he was getting close. the healthy, honest love would have been to tell her in that moment earlier, instead of kissing her. maybe. but kissing her was so real & human.
i just think there is this desperation for connection, something that's missing that they don't understand. and carol painted that message out of desperation but also with a mission and still got swept up. because she was alone for 40 days and she misses helen and the whole world is gone. so much is wrong and how is she supposed to fix this?

Season 1, “Charm Offensive”
Director: Melissa Bernstein

here’s chapter 2 of my shameless smut— ahem, I mean missing scene interpretation of S1EP8 “Charm Offensive“
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
Little teaser:
Zosia’s fingers found her spine, stroking slow, soothing lines from the nape of her neck all the way down to the dimples just above her ass. “What part, exactly?"
Carol huffed a bitter little laugh against Zosia’s skin. “Pick a card… any card. The entire planet turned into one big smiling cult. Me getting laid after jerking off to memories that hurt more than they help. You–” She swallowed, throat clicking. “You being here, like this, when we both know the Others probably sent you to seduce the last stubborn fool who won’t join the party. The whole menu’s poisoned and I’m still licking the plate.”
