Bringing @avelera and I’s chat out here. Those aliens really did take care of that meatsuit they’re in. Sure they destroyed Newt’s mind, twisted the remains of his personality, turned him into the corporate douchebag he would viscerally hate and used his intellect to try to destroy the world but damn….those tailored suits…that skanky shirtless instagram selfie…. that was probably the first time in Newt’s life that he regularly exercised, wore nice clothes, and ate a vegetable
“Unscientific aside, if you’re listening to this, I’m either alive and proving what I’ve just done, in which case ha! I won! Or I’m dead and you need to know that it’s you who drove me to this, and it’s all your fault. In which case… ha! I won. Kind of.”
the precursors: human why is destroying the world taking so long
newt, who got his fifth phd in stalling for time after passing multiple ohsa inspections: IDK MAN YOU TELL ME!!!!! MAYBE YOU’RE JUST DUMB HUH YOU EVER THINK OF THAT????
i’m sorry but the idea of newt coming up with progressivly dumber and dumber excuses to why their plan isn’t working is just peak comedy to me
