I don’t want to say it’s just an app, because it’s not. I was incredibly sad about losing TikTok yesterday. Many of us had a community that meant a great deal to us torn away suddenly and I am not saying we shouldn’t be upset about that. But I am saying that as much as the Supreme Court has more important things they should be focusing on over banning TikTok we have more important things to do then run back to an app that was obviously used for a publicity stunt by Trump and will inevitably be influenced by him and his fascism.

Like both of them seem to struggle forming relationships with the other objects because they’re so rigid about their rules, with Timothy insisting on appointments and Parker insisting on following his ‘relationship rules’ and leaving things up to the die. But I feel like they would understand and accommodate each other’s rules without much issue, because they get it.

Like Parker explains his relationship rules and Timothy is like “that makes perfect sense. So long as we work it into my schedule and play at these specific times, I see no issue with this.” Because both of them understand that planning things out in an orderly fashion makes things easier. Timothy’s schedule is important to him both because it hides Timmy and because it gives him a sense of control. Parker values his relationship rules and leaving his relationships up to chance because it saves him the burden of having to make decisions. Both of them do this for a sense of ease, and I think they’d recognize and appreciate that in each other.

Not only that but these two would be so down to infodump with one another. And both of them understand how much care their specifics items need to be handled with. Timothy knows he can trust Parker to handle his pocket watches delicately because Parker takes such good care of his game pieces, and vice-versa.

It’s mentioned on his wiki that Husk does not like his form. He’s essentially a house cat with bird add-ons, which isn’t exactly intimidating.

His dislike could be for plenty of reasons but to me it kinda came across like he’s used to being treated as less than human? Like a pet.

Angel’s “kitty has claws” and “meow” are the flirtations that seem to cause the most visceral reaction out of husk (outside of “I can make those wings flap” which is, again, about Husk’s actual form). Angel was also touching Husk on both situations, moving him in the way he wanted to emphasize his point (tilting and holding Husk’s chin and tilting his wings). Part of Husk’s dislike is definitely because he dislikes Angel’s fakeness and the infringement on his boundaries, but these comments in particular set him off in a way the others don’t. It’s genuine anger over exasperation.

Then we get the Husk and Alastor scene in Episode 5 where Alastor openly talks down to Husk and scratches him behind the ear like an actual cat. This sets Husk off enough that, even knowing he’s owned by Alastor who is extremely dangerous (because I doubt he’s just forget that), he still snaps back. The first thing he says is “You may own my soul but I’m not your damn pet” and the level of anger here seems to imply Alastor treats him like this with at least some frequency. This is further proven when Alastor responds with a simple “oh, but you are!” Which is what leads to Husk snapping enough that he sets Alastor off.

Alastor then proceeds to push Husk to the ground and show his chain, pulling Husk closer against his will the same way one might an unruly dog pulling on its leash.

I think it’s also worth noting that Alastor is not usually a touchy person. This episode is an exception in that he’s being extra nice to Charlie to piss off Lucifer but this is still far from the norm. The only one he’s really touched up to this point is Nifty and that was only because she climbed on him. Him petting Husk was only a move of control, which is probably part of why it set Husk off so badly.

Liv is a young Stanford-bound seemingly honor roll girl who is told by nearly everyone she meets that she will “bury them all” and is bound for better than where she is. She is drowning in expectation and has very little control over her life—the most she has is stealing small useless items she doesn’t even want from the goddamn Walgreens. Despite this however, Liv is amazing with people. She’s encouraging and sympathetic and quick to offer support. She’s work best friends with Paula and has Russel’s number, Wendell has a crush on her and Usha thinks she’s adorable and her and Dang are down to have fun. She has a way of getting to the crux of people’s problems and helping them and growing close to them through just communication.

Kingskin on the other hand is a man with nothing but control. He’s one of if not the most dangerous and powerful crime lord in Los Angeles. He’s so strong he can crush people with his bare hands and he has doors for specifically that. He leads his people with an iron fist and fear—so much so that his men believe him punching them is sign of their own fault. Because of this ironclad control Kingskin is incredibly powerful but I assume he also lacks close connections; it’s lonely at the top. Kingskin does not seem like the kind of person to have a significant amount of communication skills or experience with vulnerability. He does not have the ability to disarm and encourage people the way Liv does.
