"Don't waste any time mourning. Organize!"
-Joe Hill
My brother texted the family group chat this quote before he went to work today. I'm not in a good place this morning, but we can't lose ourselves to despair. I know I have a lot of anger right now, but getting into whose fault that is won't help anyone.
Dwelling on the people I will never forgive won't help anyone.
I'm not that optimistic, but hope is a choice we can still make. It's a hard one to make this morning, but I'm still going to do my best. We are where we are, and focusing on yesterday won't change that. We can only move forward, and save as many as we can along the way.
There will be a tomorrow because we're going to make sure there's a tomorrow.
Why doesn’t YouTube have a clip of the song from the SNL nude beach sketch for me to link to?
I’m having some serious flashbacks here.
Sarah does have some weird hatred for Terrence. And either Terrence was always this bad or Sarah brought out the worst in him.
It’s definitely been a progression. There’s a pretty fair escalation that’s been going on since he was introduced. Kinda disappointed myself though – that he’s turned out to at least apparently just be a one dimensional farkwad. He sort of seemed more interesting as he was written in the first few.
With only two comics a week, I can only show so much. He’s not a main character, so we only see his interactions with them.
So, uh, here’s another random dimension to Terrence: he lives at home and takes care of his disabled father.
Boom.
Lol the hell there is Trae, no matter WHERE that guy is he’s still a serious buttmunch . He’s one of those guys that has a GOOD twin in the evil Star Trek beard dimension. I was just being the cheerleader for a more nuanced dumbarsery I ‘spose. That being said – yeah – in a few panels a day nuance is a bastard to accomplish. Frankly I’m kinda amazed you get as much as you do in so small a canvas to work with. Always kinda regarded comics as being akin to short stories. Sure, less to write – but that’s a seriously two-edged sword. Also wayyyyyyy less room to characterize/etc. There are quite a few authors that have flat out stated they’d much rather try to write a really good book than a really good short story – and there are damn good reasons for that.
Terrance was always shit. His “people like us” comment and a few others like that are pretty clear. His interaction with Lynn last comic was all on him. At the same time, Sarah and T are locked in unending combat and that makes him act worse around her.
It’s too bad he’s going to get killed and served to the GoH, there’s a lot of fun to be had with 2 chars who can’t be in the same room without trouble.
Sure, he always was an ass. BUT in the first few with him he had some reason to be an ass. SOME. Not to the degree he was being, but it was open for a bit for the possibility of crippling social ineptitude being reinforced by “Go do stuff and get it done – figure it out yourself.” While that totally works for these folks, ’cause they’ve been working together half of forever – it’s not really the best way to handle new people working on anything. They’re either A: gonna come up with solutions you don’t like at all, or B: usually gonna screw it up because they’re clueless. As I said that WAS a possibility – ’cause now it’s quite clear he’s just a jackhole. 🙂
