Another cis feminist for trans rights. She/her. Not quite a crone. Bad-faith arguments get you muted, slurs get you blocked. I repost a lot of geekery, some of it NSFW.

I literally felt my shoulders relax after watching this, compared with the first video.

The majority of cis people don’t care about the actual lives of trans people.

Mainstream media frames our existence as a debate and uplifts junk science, most especially the NYT.

Follow and support independent trans journalists instead:

He says Laura knew the ultimate secret: "the secret of who killed you."

Instead of attacking them, Harold leaves three gashes down his own cheek.

It's still a very frightening effect: if someone can do that to themselves, what might they do to you?

Maddy and Donna both SUCK at heists, and neither is good at dissembling under pressure.

Dutch angle shot of Harold as he confronts the cowering girls, wielding a three-pronged garden rake.

"Are you looking for secrets?"

Jean catches Hank (not Hawk), who's there by Ben Horne's request. He pulls out the D.A.'s identification, which Hank palmed earlier.

Cooper and Truman try to GTFO, but are stopped by hired muscle.

There's a meaty thud, and a hunting knife appears in the hired muscle's back.

Hawk: "Good thing you guys can't keep a secret."

Jean asks his ex Blackie for a kiss, then stabs her with his spring-blade.

There's another bright-red-accented shot of the prone Blackie with blood around her mouth, and Jean licking the blood off his own lips.

He then notices Truman observing, and shoots at him.

Nancy runs into Cooper, and he forces her to take him to Audrey.

Cooper, maybe cut her bonds before you ask if she's okay?

The voyeur mirror in the room alerts Cooper to Nancy slipping her dagger from the sheath on her lacy stockings. He uses that to cut the ropes binding Audrey.

A closeup of white orchid petals dotted with vibrant red. Harold and Donna are standing extremely close in the house's little greenhouse. She encourages his advances, they kiss, then he excuses himself. She runs to the window and signals with a flashlight.

An owl observes Cooper and Truman sneaking into One-Eyed Jack's. Its labyrinthine hallways are decorated with fruit wallpaper and gold-framed paintings of nudes.

Despite Donna's earlier stunt, Harold still wants to hear her stories. In a soft and hypnotic voice, she tells a story of herself and Laura, as young teens, meeting up with older boys, and how she fell briefly but passionately in love.

Maddy, who has been recruited by Donna to help steal Laura's diary, stops at the Double R to get some coffee to go. James tries to engage her in conversation, but she's so evasive and dishonest that when she leaves, he puts down change for his unfinished sandwich and follows her.

He calls a number Lucy left, and the line answers, "Adam's Abortion Clinic."

Ok, I don't think any actual abortion clinic would call itself that, but I suspect this is for the audience's benefit.

Andy's sperm count has recovered: as Hayward has written in his folksy way, it's no longer three men on a fishing trip, but the whole damn town.

"I'm a whole damn town! WHOOO!"

Oh Andy. 😆🥰

I guess the girl from the Can-Do Temp Agency never did show up, because poor Deputy Andy is answering the phones. He's plastered himself with post-it notes.

He calls up the medical lab to ask, in an embarrassed whisper, about his semen analysis.

Bright RED, I meant. Obviously.

He's also planning to kill Audrey with an overdose, then his girlfriend Nancy is planning to kill her sister Blackie with a thigh-holstered dagger, so many murder plans.

Amidst them, this poetic phrase: "In the other room, the girl dreams of fishes and dark lakebeds and tangled weeds."
November 12, 2025 at 3:16 AM
Typical of Twin Peaks' warm colour palette, in which bright read features prominently, Jean skewers a couple of strawberries to demonstrate the forearm-mounted spring-blade he plans to use to kill Cooper.
