"Not In That Way" By Sam Smith Is So Topez Coded It's Heartbreaking, Really

"Not in that way" by Sam Smith is so topez coded it's heartbreaking, really

In episode 2 the figurine representing Stede doesn't look so good as in episode 1.

It took me a rewatch to figure out Ed was most likely trying to burn it, but couldn't bring himself to do it. Hence the defeated look.

Guys, do you remember Berta? The girl who kinda posed as Bert's "love interest"?

Well, as a sucker for details I am I just can't help comparing Bert&Berta's "Love song" with Bert&Ernie's "But I like you".

In "Love song" Bert sings about how much in common they have with Berta. Namely, pigeons, music, oatmeal, paper clips, and checkers.

It literally ends like this:

You play checkers.

I do, too.

You like me.

And I like you.

So, basically, the love confession is based on common interests.

What's funny is that Bert&Ernie's song goes completely opposite direction.

After Bert mentions liking paper clips, buttlecaps, and pigeons Ernie answers:

I don't really like any of those things,

But I like you.

And then Bert reacts in the same way to Ernie's interests.

Ain't it peculiar?

Having different interests with Ernie doesn't make them drift apart, so having common interests with Berta doesn't necessarily mean they are gonna be together, right?

Besides, it's worth mentioning that in "But I like you" song Bert and Ernie take their turns to sing "I like you" to each other, whereas in "Love song" it's Bert who sings "You like me and I like you". Berta doesn't say anything at all, only Bert sings!

Which makes me question if perhaps Bert's feelings for Berta were meant to be unrequited from the start??

That was like the stupidest thing to do!

I'm talking to YOU, scriptwriters!

Soap became the soal of the game, for God's sake! How could you do this to him?

I'm sooo not sure I would care to check out mw4 or whatever now...

WOW

Hey sebinis/gauntlow fanfiction writers!

Just wanted to share an idea of a fanfic plot with you. I've had it for a while now, and I even started writing, but never finished and apparently never will. Don't know if anybody has come up with it so far? Anyway, feel free to use it in your works if you like😁

OC and Ominis agree not to put Sebastian behind bars, but Ominis has one condition - Sebastian must forget the unforgivables. (Due to Obliviate or another spell like that.) Ominis is just worried that Sebastian, being his impulsive self, might accidentally kill someone else (now that he, well, got a taste for killing) and he would hate to have his only close friend locked up in Azkaban.

Sebastian, being stubborn, overconfident and all, doesn't like the idea in the slightest. A falling out follows, during which Sebastian comes to realise a life without Ominis is duller than a life without the unforgivables will ever be. So he reluctantly agrees.

Ominis uses Obliviate or suchlike on the friend and it turns out that because of some mistake or whatever Sebastian forgot him. Just him.

Ominis gets Sebastian to St Mungo hospital where Sebastian comes around and actually gets flirty with the ~handsome guy from his faculty he hasn't met yet for some stupid reason~.

St Mungo nurses recommend getting Sebastian to the places where he spent a lot of time with Ominis. So naturally, it's Undercroft. And little by little Undercroft makes Sebastian start telling ~a new acquiantance of his~, aka Ominis, how he suddenly remembers this guy he has a crush on, while totally not associating him with Ominis right in front of him. Sebastian, being his usual open self, reveals quite a lot at that, including the moments from the past that now begin to make sense to Ominis.

While Ominis is doing his best trying to show the connection between himself and the guy Sebastian's reminiscing about and not hurt his best friend mentally in the process, he is left feeling frustrated and jealous of himself, or rather a memory of himself in Sebastian's head. OC is sympathetic, ever helpful, of course, but highly amused.

At least, that's the short of it. Hope you guys enjoyed it and will use it😄
