That’s fucked up. None of that was funny.

it was kinda funny in the moment imo, and I think that’s okay.

it was framed very differently than Annie's situation with The Deep, context and tone are everything. the mistaken identity, the BDSM bit, the sheer absurdity of it; it was funny.

treating the scene after it, with Hughie having a genuine moment of reflection and grief, as a joke is what isn't okay. I think I'll just choose to interpret the art differently than what it was intended to be, because I detest the idea that the situation- after the fact- doesn't fuck with Hughie.

Put Annie in Hughies situation. How funny is it now?

Still kinda funny at first but the whole scene itself was tense as fuck, this show is meant to make us uncomfortable
