spookybench:naughtybench:letmetellyouaboutmyfeels:naughtybench:I just have…….a lot of feelings about this scene#because like…..!#she might already be going to the bad place - there may not be anything she can do about it#or IS there#there is the slight; tiny; unlikely but still possible chance that if she gives up whoever murdered janet - if she sells chidi out -#she might NOT get sent downstairs#(or at the very least she may be able to use it as a bargaining chip to help negotiate her way out of punishment)#and i bet you money that’s what michael’s hoping she’ll do#michael is spinning his wheels - eleanor confessing has turned his entire plan upside down and now he has no idea where to go next#he’s thrown for a complete loop because eleanor shouldn’t be doing this - she shouldn’t BE covering for anyone#from everything he knows about her - and he thought he knew everything - she should be singing like a canary for a CHANCE to save her ass#so he’s having one more go at it - he’s using this fancy afterlife lie detector to give her another chance to do what he’s so sure she WILL#but she doesn’t#she sticks to her guns and she keeps the truth to herself and he just doesn’t know what to do from here#she won’t give up chidi even with the chance that it might possibly be of some use to save herself#and i’ve said this already but like….WOW that’s a lot for her#eleanor is already moving towards being the best version of herself - and it’s her relationship with chidi that pushes her along that path#and i’m really fucking emotional over it@naughtybench babe I think I’m gonna have to invite you to the DQ parking lot for another fight because SERIOUSLY???#eleanor is literally going against her programming#so to speak#and I think this is when michael starts to realize#that humans aren’t programs#they aren’t predictable#‘traditional’ torture scenarios are easier#because they don’t require depending on human behavior#here we see he was depending on the worst in humanity#the worst in eleanor#and she’s not giving it to him#she’s choosing to grow and change and do good#while he might not accept it until much later#this is where michael first starts to see#the fundamental flaw in his plan#and therefore#the fundamental flaw in the good/bad place system (via @letmetellyouaboutmyfeels)SPEAK.
