i’ve been rlly enjoying mythic quest so far
Mythic Quest Crew Playing Monopoly
Brad: keeps talking about how he’s going to destroy everyone but ends up only landing on chance, community chest, and income tax. Refuses to give people change so they have to exchange with the bank to get the right amount of ones
David: makes deals that put him at a disadvantage just to keep the peace. Still lasts longer than Brad.
Poppy: absolutely refuses to trade with Ian even if it’s a perfectly fair trade. Always forgets to buy houses when she gets more money
Ian: pretends he doesn’t care but ends up throwing the dice across the room when he loses. Makes people wait at least five rounds before he says he’ll accept their trade. Refuses to trade with Poppy
Rachel: keeps trying to tell everyone about the anti-capitalist origin of the game
Dana: tries to lose so she can leave. Ends up getting second place after being forced to play for hours
CW: keeps forgetting which piece is his. Insists on coming up with a story to explain why he’s in jail
Jo: the winner
Sue: is the banker because there are only 8 player pieces
Carol: pretends she doesn’t know it’s happening because then it’s not her problem
So when David said “Love you, Brad” after the ‘burlap sack’ speech, do you think that it was the first time anyone had told Brad they loved him?
I loved the ethics committee episode because it’s our first look at how Brad’s attitude toward David is different from his attitude toward everyone else. When David finally snaps at Brad in the episode, it was obvious that that was the only thing Brad wanted out of it. In the previous episodes, when Brad messed with people, it was because he wanted something specific out of it like a loot crate or to make a point, but when he was messing with David, he was just doing it for the fun of it. It felt like an ‘annoying your crush because they’re cute when they’re mad situation’.
I think it also showed how David sees Brad differently from his other coworkers as well because it’s the first time in the show that he stood up for himself and, unlike when he does it the other times, he doesn’t immediately freak out or make a big deal out of it, which makes me think he’s a little more likely to stand up to Brad and not be phased by him being mad like he is with Poppy and Ian.
But most importantly, Brad was definitely into it when David yelled at him and you cannot change my mind.
Brad: I will destroy everything you’ve ever loved
David: What if I love you?
Brad: Joke’s on you, I’ve been self-destructive my whole life
Janitor!Brad predictions/headcanons from someone who is actually a janitor (basically a list of things they tell you not to do):
dusts right over people’s heads so it falls on them
“accidentally” throws out some of David’s belongings and watches him spend an hour trying to find them
interrupts every emotionally intense conversation by loudly opening a garbage bag right next to them, scaring the shit out of them
overhears great blackmail material because people don’t notice he’s there
steals toilet paper
kicks CW out of the janitor’s closet
mops over people’s feet
wipes down people’s chairs with a wet rag right before they were about to sit down
vacuums at the least convenient times
is terrible at driving the floor cleaning machines, which is actually kind of good for the people he tries to run over
uses the “i’m just a janitor” way more than necessary
throws out food if it’s been in the fridge for more than one day
every time there’s chaos the camera cuts to him aimlessly wiping something and looking amused
finds the pettiest reasons to accuse David of oppressing him. “Brad, I know you were about to go on your lunch break but could you refill the paper towels first?” “It’s always the people at the bottom who have to make the most sacrifices, never you bosses at the top.”
it was supposed to be a night janitor job but he wants to feel included so works during the day. David lets him because he missed him
always seems to need to clean the conference room when they’re having meetings
actually kind of enjoys it because it’s the first time he’s in a low stakes situation because there’s nothing more Zack would want to take from him
Even more mythic quest text posts
this post is braddavid but in the sense that it's how brad would think about their relationship if they were dating. meanwhile david is just like yippee i get to kiss my boyfriend!! hooray!! :D
Because they love each other.
no but why did brad and david share an office. what was the reason for that.
Y’know BradDavid is starting to grow on me… I do love the whole “god i hate this pathetic loser I’m so gonna make out with him later” dynamic.
Thinking about them but like. Domestically. Like could u imagine actually
i need them to meet
going back to my MQ fixation is so weird because i just remember that the interest was really intense before but i don't actually remember IT very clearly so for example at the time i made a load of playlists based on it and listening to them now is WILD because i made a DAVID playlist and put TOWNIE BY MITSKI IN IT
david overexplaining everything and killing the vibe boy why are you so audhd
ummmm ummm mythic quest fallout anyone? anyone?
idk if there’s an audience for this beyond myself but there’s more to come regardless
david and jo give me vaulty vibes in the exact opposite ways
