Whelp, serotonin levels low, time to pour some cherry brandy and watch the second episode of Patalliro
I won& #39;t be tagging for spoilers because let& #39;s face it, the only thing of note to happen in this series will be that Bancoran Will Fuck, and if you haven& #39;t already set out on this viewing experience with the certainty that Bancoran Fucks I don& #39;t think we can be friends
This show is much prettier than it has any right to be
I was gonna say that I love the London settings despite them looking like no real London settings but to be honest, looking at the REAL MI6 HQ you kinda feel both of these images reflect a late 60s idea of what a building that fucks would look like
Bancoran& #39;s hair blending in with his black suit is perhaps the second most excellent character design decision ever made (second to his eyeshadow, of course)
a natural reaction
@depotagents has joined the viewing party!!!
Fool that I was, I thought Jabba from last episode would be Ban& #39;s love interest for the series, but I was a child, an ignorant, why would the Bishounen Killer have only ONE love interest
@depotagents: "Patalliro is so strong"
Patalliro most powerful character on account of his cockroach run
Alas poor Thatcher we hardly knew thee
gee thanks Thatcher
"fuck off Patalliro you& #39;re ruining the mood"
so that was episode two, which DEFINITELY doesn& #39;t start off an ominous trend in Ban& #39;s love interests
This ED...did not need to go so hard, and yet it did
Episode three and they& #39;re already back on their bullshit
@depotagents: so is this the main squeeze?
Me, a fool: uuuuh I think so?
Me: oh man the rose imagery can& #39;t get any wilder
The show in question: hold my rose-infused vodka
Expectation: Bantaran gets a sex scene at the end of a slow-burn romance at around episode 80
Reality: Bantaran seduces a man in a basement 15 minutes after meeting him in episode 3
Seeing that he& #39;s been mostly seducing the local bishounen, I& #39;m not surprised Patalliro& #39;s skeptical at Ban actually doing his job
I want to make a joke about this scene butit was genuinely gorgeous
I& #39;ll just leave these here
My heart goes to Bancoran, whose track record I& #39;m assuming won& #39;t improve over the next episodes
We& #39;re on to episode 4, in which poor Marian gets groped inapprpriately within one minute of being introduced, and I& #39;m assuming things won& #39;t be improving for him from there.
Oh boy oh boy I& #39;ve been warned this is just the beginning of some pretty YIKES gay stereotypes that rear their heads in this show.
Me after a day of staring at my thesis document.
Ah yes another day in Her Majesty& #39;s Service
Ban
Ban I love you but you have no right to be making that face
This week& #39;s Mascara-Wearing Boy Assassin& #39;s deal is seducing his baby brother, this is cool, I& #39;m sure this is someone& #39;s thing, I& #39;m gonna bleach this for my brain for a hot second and focus on on Bancoran& #39;s Wildean profile
I& #39;m not quite sure whether this is Bancoran& #39;s home or his office because I honestly can& #39;t dismiss Bancoran having a second, *frillier* chaise longue in his office just for making smarmy overseas calls from
Bishounen Assassin of the Week: I am gay and do crimes
Bancoran: *instantly materializing from the other side of the planet* Did Someone Call
Bancoran is easily distracted,
That& #39;s it for tonight& #39;s episode that desperately begged you not to think too hard about it
but whatever next episode we get MARAICH and it& #39;s looking GLORIOUS
