My Newsies Era Oc, Celia :D

When we see Gerard Keay interact with statement givers he comes across as pretty socially awkward. For example: In TMA 38, he stares at women until she's uncomfortable and then he goes up to her and insinuates that she's ruining his vacation before saying that she's "marked" by something. Then he doesn't elaborate on what she could be marked by. In another example, when interacting with the nurse in TMA 12, after bottles of saline start to bubble, he says “Yes. For you, better beholding than the lightless flame," which, again, is confusing and the nurse explicitly says that she doesn't know what that means.

And I think that's an interesting note on how being raised in a world where the fears were so normalized affected him as a person.

Because the social mistakes he makes when interacting with the statement givers is talking about the fears as they're these casual things, which does nothing other than confuse and scare people who are already disoriented by what they're going through...but the thing is, you can't really blame him for making these mistakes.

After all, the fears ARE normal to him. They're all he's ever known, and from that perspective, it has to be hard to interact with people who have had such a different existence. There's a good chance he doesn't even register how confusing some of the things he says are, because in his world you don't need to explain what a mark is or why it's better to serve The Eye than the Lightless Flame. That's just a fact of life.

And I think this idea that Gerard just isn't good with interacting with normal people is backed up by the way he seems when we hear him interact with Gertrude and Jon. When he's interacting with people inside his world, he comes across as very witty and charismatic, not off-putting in the way statement givers tend to describe. And I don't think that's because the statement givers are painting a false picture of who he is. Rather, he just has an easier time with people who "get it" and (mostly) need as little context as he does.

Anyway, it has been exactly five minutes since I've had too many thoughts about Gerard Keay. But my main one is this: Gertrude should have gotten the chance to fist-fight Mary at least once because who raises a child like that?

Reblog to let prev know their presence is wanted

so...thoughts on blood drips?

ok. so.

i genuinely find it kinda disturbing LOL so they achieved their goal if it was to be horror! it was the perfect balance of horror, comedy, and absurdity that made me giggle way too much.

i also have many questions, such as:

who authorized this?

why did they allow the actors to spend time on this?

why is the costume department so trusting?

and so on.

i would also like to highlight my favorite parts (some i may have forgotten :p but i am not watching it again because of aforementioned genuinely being disturbed LOL.)

"SPIT or SWALLOW"

max casella generally

kenny ortega cussing us out

the fact that none of the ketchup blood got on the costumes

"forget about trey, where's my FUGGIN CHAYA"

christian bale's british accent. every time he does his normal accent i have to take a moment and revel in his acting because WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE'S BRITISH. i would never have known,,

max's death. like. oh my god lmfao. part of me falls for it and am disturbed at death but the other part is rolling because of the acting. again not a trace of blood on his costume

*long motivational speech* "ALRIGHT LET'S DO IT!!! ... oh shIt"

and then it got actually disturbing lol. but i liked their dancing at the end... wish we had that in hd lmfao.

anyway this was long. blood drips is awesome everyone go watch

a lot of it'll be second nature through practice! and yeah, references are very awesome and i don't use them nearly as much i should lol

some mechanisms marker drawings ;0;

oh my god

sneaking out at night, jumping fences or ducking under chain link, the feeling of a chin resting on another's shoulder, swan from warriors the musical (:p), staying up late, the half hour before sunrise over a city skyline perched on a nearby hill :))
