He’s standing at your door. After a year of only seeing clips of him on the news, cheesy t-shirts that said “I visited New York and didn’t get saved by Spiderman!” and cute memorabilia. Even after seeing him plastered over every newspaper, you missed seeing the boy under the mask, like sand that was determined to remain in the crevices of you, even though the last time you went to the beach was 5 months ago, you never can seem to remove him from your life.
Instead of the regular blue and red get up, he was back in his hoodie, an outfit you rarely saw and missed so, standing in front of you again with his feet turned in, hands shoved into his pockets. The sounds and voices from the movie you were watching muttered softly in the background and you knew you were gonna have to rewind it all the way back.
You don’t really know what to do. You don’t want to see him because you’ve already jumped through hoops and tripped over a couple hurdles to avoid that, you don’t want him standing in your doorway and you most definitely don’t want him in your apartment.
But he does that stupid cheeky smile and you’re letting him through the door.
“until you can’t tell a prop knife from a real one” and “I want to be remembered in the same breath as the mona lisa” are the same levels of gut punch that truly elevate the knives out series btw
Can I just mention how fucking perfect it is that Blanc keeps saying throughout the movie that he’s bad at Clue and Among Us and other murder mystery games bc he finds the way the mysteries work in them dumb and he’s “bad at dumb things, his Achilles’ heel”. And then when he’s distracting the Disruptors he says the case was puzzling and hard to solve because it hit his Achilles’ Heel jdksjfjgjdsj he called them dumb to their faces but with class
“how to fix hip dips” “buccal fat removal” “how to appear more attractive to men” “divine feminine” “bbl” “how to fix smile lines” “how to get poreless skin”
so so important to realise that none of the “”””disrupters”””” ever actually disrupted anything. duke was a twitch streamer. lionel just got a job. birdie was literally a white woman profiteering off her own “scandalous” persona. claire became a populist politician. none of them could have succeeded in their chosen profession WITHOUT THE SYSTEM AIDING THEM. it really is the self-congratulatory wank-talk that is endemic to the privileged and helen and blanc (and cassandra to a point) saw STRAIGHT through it. good on them
