Whelp, serotonin levels low, time to pour some cherry brandy and watch the second episode of Patalliro
I won't be tagging for spoilers because let's face it, the only thing of note to happen in this series will be that Bancoran Will Fuck, and if you haven't already set out on this viewing experience with the certainty that Bancoran Fucks I don'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'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'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're ruining the mood"
so that was episode two, which DEFINITELY doesn't start off an ominous trend in Ban's love interests
This ED...did not need to go so hard, and yet it did
Episode three and they're already back on their bullshit
Me: oh man the rose imagery can'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
Reality: Bantaran seduces a man in a basement 15 minutes after meeting him in episode 3
Seeing that he's been mostly seducing the local bishounen, I'm not surprised Patalliro's skeptical at Ban actually doing his job
I want to make a joke about this scene butit was genuinely gorgeous
I'll just leave these here
My heart goes to Bancoran, whose track record I'm assuming won't improve over the next episodes
We're on to episode 4, in which poor Marian gets groped inapprpriately within one minute of being introduced, and I'm assuming things won't be improving for him from there.
Oh boy oh boy I'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's Service
Ban
Ban I love you but you have no right to be making that face
Ban I love you but you have no right to be making that face
This week's Mascara-Wearing Boy Assassin's deal is seducing his baby brother, this is cool, I'm sure this is someone's thing, I'm gonna bleach this for my brain for a hot second and focus on on Bancoran's Wildean profile
I'm not quite sure whether this is Bancoran's home or his office because I honestly can'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: *instantly materializing from the other side of the planet* Did Someone Call
Bancoran is easily distracted,
That's it for tonight's episode that desperately begged you not to think too hard about it
but whatever next episode we get MARAICH and it's looking GLORIOUS
