Sometimes (very offen) I think about that nice old couple in the end of S1.
Like imagine you're just living your quiet life with your beloved and then suddenly there's a gay man showing up taking your car to follow his 'boyfriend' who he had a 'lovers tiff' with and then he's NEVER seen again. Like did he even return the car?? I don't think so??? So from these people's perspective Gordon's just out there chilling with their car being gay and evil.
I just find it so amusing I can't help it
I've seen this being posted before BUT I really can't stop thinking about the possibility of WYWH 3. Like oh my GOD can you imagine how much that could hurt??? How utterly beautiful it could be??? WYWH narrated by Warren is my greatest desire and most terrible fear
Ok so I may be stupid. But I didn't actually catch the 'memory loss is a possible side effect' bit. Isn't it the side effect of BRYONY'S treatment? It's discussed in The Boat and the Bridger iirc. Sure, it has everything to do with Warren's PTSD but it's Bryony who was erasing his memory with meds. It's really convenient how he only forgot the criminal part of his life.
Not to mention that Warren didn't experience huge memory loss when he was brought back to Red Valley and he had A LOT of hypersleep. And I get that the technology probably improved with time but none of the people who experienced hypersleep in s3 had any problem with memory.
So yeah. I'm not sure about Gordon losing his memory. At least I don't think it makes sense with all the information at hand.
The only possible reason for Gordon to lose his memory in my opinion is the fact that he was given the degraded goo (sorry, can't for the life of me remember what's it called). But well, I'm no expert. I guess we'll wait and we'll see.
Okayyy random take in the name of s4! I'm so excited!
Spoilers for s3 and wywh3 and a lot of words under the cut.
SO. I've been thinking about Warren and Gordon finding out that Morior Invictus is now like somewhat of a cryoterrorists hymn. I know we as a fandom just kind of assumed they would love it. The whole rebellion thing, fighting for your future, confonring the almighty power of money. And yeah it makes enough sense to be true. But the evil little voice inside my head keeps telling me that MAYBE it wouldn't all be that fun.
I mean Gordon said that Pus Crank songs were reminding him of simpler times. And now I might assume they're also reminding them both of the little comfort they could get in the literal hell on earth. Warren sang it in the moment of despair. And I really don't think it was all about him being angry or wanting to hurt Gordon in some way.
Like YEAH they might enjoy the way everything has turned out for this song. But also doesn't it feel like kind of an intervention? Like they took the last thing connecting them to the silly moments. Like now it's all about the war and not them trying to get some actual comfort.
So! My prediction (if we ever get to hear their reaction) is Warren freaking out about it. I mean the man is known for being impulsive and having Reactions to things. He's unstable and thus unpredictable. Plus the whole Oscar thing got me thinking Warren is a bit too possessive of Gordon and by extension all things related to him. I guess a negative reaction from Warren just seems more likely to my angsty brain. Not sure about Gordon's reaction though.
And I really wish be proven wrong.
moodboard for when you forget your tea and it gets cold
I wonder if Gordon, once he emerges, would understand the appeal of going into hypersleep. I wonder if he would feel the same way as Warren did about going nowhere, thinking of nothing, simply being not. Because Gordon went through A LOT at Red Valley and he'd been going through a lot for a few years before it, starting with Oscar. And so I wonder if he would like Warren find some comfort in not being constantly worried or threatened or just in general terrified. Even if it feels like nothing. I mean their situations are really different and Warren's view on his state was majorly influenced by his amnesia and the possible change of personality and stuff but like. I just feel like there's a chance that Gordon of all people would actually get the point, even a self-destructing one like that.
Duuuuuuudeeeee Sunday can't come soon enough.
I have 99 problems and my stupid brain telling me to watch Supernatural is going to be the 100th.
It also tells me to get into Tolkien and watch Severance and Conclave. Bitch I've just finished the Big Bang Theory and I have mental breakdowns over my academic performance on a regular basis I can't afford to binge watch shit any longerðŸ˜
sweet tooth 💓🦷🩸
Red Valley relisten hits so hard right now. I just miss Gordon so much he means the world to me.
Also 'let me live vicariously through you' is CRUEL. Dude NO SHIT you'll live vicariously through him. 44 YEARS IN THE FUTURE.
I really hope he's going to survive. This man has only ever known being overlooked and neglected let him be loved I'M BEGGING.
