#fascinating to me

(the fact that darkness man facetimed bat child while on his adventure so that she could take a college class AND be a sidekick at the same time is everything to me)

i always assumed that arthur wasn't a tunneller - while the show never says he wasn't, it never specifically mentioned that he was (but for example, it's suggested that he was in turkey), and the thing to me was that it's what separated tommy even from his brothers. however, during the cellar conversation (the wine cellar in arrow house & in the movie tommy narrates this particular information as he too goes into the wine cellar) tommy recalls this story of him and arthur going through that canal tunnel as children. my guess is that what he's writing is a conflation of these two things - aptly fitting because the tunnels always were treated both as the symbol of tommy's war trauma but also as a cipher for (underlying) childhood trauma
