“what is the gayest possible thing I could say here”

“manners”

“yes that’s right”

lines of dialogue the comedian has spoken in before watchmen

looks like the jokes on you, pansy boy

it’s time to shit

you better look around, glory boy*

blow me, showgirl

sez the queer in the skirt

and a bonus line of narration from showgirl himself:

we could continue this travesty until both of us were to battered and broken to move any longer

*(this gets extra points for Adrian’s incredibly queeny response of “You WOULDN’T—!”)

I’m thinking about playing pretend

I played pretend to take the SAT

I pretended I was Adrian Veidt the whole time

there, that’s true about me

how can he do those calisthenics and talk that much

megan: “wein’s adrian doesn’t need to breathe.  it’s canon.  for a given value of canon.”

racism racism racism, wow this book

Adrian getting called “fancy boy”

RACISM MISOGYNY RACISM MISOGYNY RACISM—the panty-clad Asian women slaves???  whose language Adrian can apparently deduce from looking at them

and then we have moon prism power tiara

and then we have the most indicative line of the book, which is “fuck logic, asshole”

oh wow, he must be so coked up right now, he just RAN THROUGH AN ENORMOUS CLOUD OF IT

“you can consider me the smartest man in the world…asshole”—yep, definitely on coke

who the fuck just calls someone a “sack of suet”? no one heterosexual

oh ok good Eddie’s here

now hold him and kiss him, Eddie

this has been the conclusion of tonight’s “Stephen liveblogs reading Before Watchmen” experience

stephen: what real principle says "something must be done to assuage his anguished parents"
megan: look this whole thing is narrated by someone who describes his own hair as silken
I suspect embellishment
stephen: veidt as unreliable narrator
I like it

I am now liveblogging my reading of Before Watchmen

this reading lovingly enabled by megan

it’s interesting how the first thing the writer has him talk about is the morality of his actions

“IN THE OLD COUNTRY MY FATHER HAD RUN A SUCCESSFUL PERFUMERY”—try to say that and not sound a little gay I dare you

“how else could I ever hope to become president”—Adrian’s father’s goal for his son

jesus this is the smuggest Veidt out there

Adrian making NO FRIENDS isn’t “innocuous” it’s sad and creepy

YO VEIDT, NICE LOOKIN SANDWICH

also, the local dojo?  I mean really, and talk about orientalism

“this little game of yours has begun to bore me”—Adrian Veidt as a child talks like a fifty-three-year-old but immature gay man

the extreme violence they show from him as a kid seems deeply out of character to me, to me the whole point of Veidt’s violence is that its not so much done through direct violence, it’s done through discourse and control of discourse—not that this exonerates him

116. INT. VEIDT'S OFFICE - DAY
VEIDT is shocked to find RORSCHACH down on the carpet, wrestling with
his mutant LYNX.  He CLAPS HIS HANDS TWICE:

VEIDT
KITTY!!

the veidt of the super-creepy forgiving bad veidt fan fiction and the veidt of john hamm’s script are the same veidt
