Follow up to remembering Midnight Texas. These are long enough that I didn't want to try to copy them over as comments.



I can't imagine why the wiki isn't filled in for season 2 </sarcasm>, so I found someone's review:
Later, when Joe stops Walker from going after Chuy, Walker learns that Chuy is Joe’s husband, and Chuy uses his context clues to figure out that Joe and Walker have been doing more than hunting. He can’t contain his demon side, and he nearly kills Walker (and half the town) before running off into the night. - s2e6.
Although, I am living for this s2e7 recap:


A contextual note about Chuy's death as it stands in relation to a season 2 trend that killed off characters of color introduced in season 1/the books [quoting the same recap above]:
If Walker not only lives, but sticks around town, I might be done with this show. If he continues to be Joe’s love interest, I definitely am. It’s not okay to write out the character played by an actor of color, who’s the same age as Joe, in order to bring in a white actor who must be 20 years younger. Especially after they killed Creek, played by a mixed race actress, and brought in a white actress as Manfred’s new love interest, and wrote out the Rev, the only other character played by a Hispanic actor. Midnight has been getting younger and whiter all season longer.

My brain, randomly around 3 to 4 AM: What was the name of that guy several people headcanoned as ace because he wore a black ring in that gifset that went around on tumblr for a bit?

Me: ... Who?

My brain: The guy -- from the show -- the one where there was kinda-sorta a Rromani character attempt? But mostly, there was a lot of {g-slur for the Rromani} usage.

Me: Manny?

My brain: MANFRED!

Me: Okay... Uh, are we going to do anything with this information?

My brain: Nah. We're gonna think about how Midnight Texas had a subplot that played off the Virgin Sacrifice Trope, and it was kinda personally weird.
