Kevin Can Fuck Himself - Tumblr Posts

I've been working on this playlist for over a year now, so I should probably consider it 95% complete

I needed a place for my Allison McRoberts songs that are more sad and angry, rather than my other playlist for her which was horny and angry.

@warningsine

It's a good interview, mostly about the production side.

I'm annoyed that they don't seem to have credited any of the hosts/interviewers anywhere. One of the guys worked on The Good Wife and the Good Fight but I guess I have to wait for him to get named on the audio..

Im still listening because it's very long, but the biggest thing so far is that Allison saying she didn't want this in the final scene when Patty says she finally got what she wanted was from the network.

Which, good, because that part sucked.

Edit: okay the "I'd like her better if she had a dick" (written line of dialogue for a character) part at the end is the most embarrassed I've been in someone' behalf in a while.

Btw KCFH is part of a deal AMC made with Netflix to host its shows so maybe we'll get new fans when Netflix subscribers get to watch it.

And Valerie's been on a podcast. I haven't had the chance to listen to the episode yet. Has anyone?

I'm happy for the Netflix-induced wave of Kevin Can Fuck Himself for many reasons, but mainly because all of my dumb posts are gonna get another wave of likes.

I'm hoping this one gets the justice is deserves because it's actually one of the funniest things I've ever made.

if there was a letterboxd equivalent but for shows, reblog and put in the tags what you top 4 shows on your profile would be

People who smugly say "nobody has actually ever read Joyce's Ulysses" need to be hit in the face with a copy of Ulysses tbh.

I'm not saying everybody would or should enjoy a deeply weird book about one man's shitty day littered with Edwardian pop culture references mixed with deep considerations on what it means to be an embodied human being in general and also a person from a very specific city at a very specific time. It's not a taste that everybody acquires, and a person from actual Dublin does have a more natural 'in'.

But the reputation of it being uniquely pretentious and difficult, to the point that I often feel compelled to lie when telling others what my favourite novel is just wrecks my fucking head. Is it American anti-intellectualism? Is it British resentment that an Irish person wrote one of the finest novels committed to paper? Is it a defensiveness about feeling stupid because they couldn't get through it (pro tip start at Episode Four, the first three unfairly weed out readers)? I do not know.

I know that it puts people off reading it, though. Which it shouldn't. It's a fantastic book and not as difficult as people say.

Have to disagree. None of the women get what is going on because they are all (unconsciously or consciously) covering for the problem man in their life. Tammy is jealous of Allison, sure, but depending on how you read the ending she never really got what she should be jealous of. Tammy thinks Kevin is an obnoxious loser and that it makes senses for Allison to cheat on him, and understands why divorce isn't viable... but she never really gets why. Kevin kicked a door into Allison's face and she just seems annoyed at the stupidity she witnessed. Tammy was the only one that knew Bram was a scumbag. Even the audience isn't clued in on that, unless you are full ACAB. Allison *and* Tammy didn't take Neil seriously as anything other than a buffoon. Only Patty knew his manipulation tactics. Even when Diane found out Chuck was a bastard, she still thought Kevin must be cool until he personally hurt her. Even then, she supports Allison leaving, and never learns about the murder plot. She also stays supportive (but firm) with Neil. Even Jenn knew Sam had issues before the "you're broken" scene and finding out he was cheating on her. The point, I think, is communication and believing women. Something really only Allison and Patty accomplish, which is what makes their bond so strong. Tammy is smart and perceptive, but she's too stubborn and judgmental to fully empathize with Allison *or* Patty.

Kevin is the unreliable narrator, but who is our reliable one?

Not Allison who goes on a journey from fantasy to reality.

Not Patty whose cynicism so often shuts her eyes to possiblity.

Not Sam who brings his own pile of baggage and nostalgia to the whole thing.

It's Tammy.

Detective Tammy Ridgeway is the character who most clearly sees things as they are.

And she's jealous of Allison's relationship with Patty from the jump.

*checking the new round of Kevin Can Fuck Himself discourse*

Alright folks we all hate Tammy but make sure to not be weird about it

watching the Kevin Can Fuck Himself sitcom portions and shaking my head the whole time so everybody on the internet knows I disagree

Kevin Can Fuck Himself Playlist Masterlist: because the adhd keeps me from being able to write, this was basically my contribution to the fandom. For Allison's need for chaos and need to make out with her frenemies competitiveness:

For Allison's craving of delusions, and the inevitable shattering of them:

For Patty's misanthropy, and her contradictory need for companionship:

For Allison and Patty's separation and longing:

For Neil's... It's Neil.

For Jennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn's rage:

Tammy:

I know I just did a post saying some people need to interpret Tammy more charitably, but also lot of people on Reddit being surprised that other people see a layer of abuse in the "revealing the layer of abuse" show.

"Yeah he's awful, but she cheated as a result of his awfulness, so they are basically the same" Starter Pack

I'm not very good at talking. I never have been, but… I do need to say this. My time with you as your friend was, was the best I ever had.

Alicia Florrick & Kalinda Sharma (The Good Wife) • Allison McRoberts & Patty O'Connor (Kevin Can F**k Himself) (4/4)

I'm not very good at talking. I never have been, but… I do need to say this. My time with you as your friend was, was the best I ever had.

When she tries to get painkillers (tokillKevinbutlet'snotworryaboutthat) the doctor almost immediately wants to contact Kevin. When she is out of town for less than 24 hours Kevin gets the cops to track her down. Literally the two authority figures ideally you would able to alert if you were in an abusive relationship were connected to Kevin.

I love how the show answered the question viewers ask like almost immediately.

“Why doesn’t she just leave him?”

And she gets asked that by the librarian who ask about her book about a woman who kills her abusive husband and Allyson answers. She has nothing.

She has $190 in her bank account, he owns the only car they have, their friends are his friends who don’t even like her and even her own family thinks she can’t do better and don’t care about her. Allyson is fucked. She’s stuck in a situation where leaving means living on the streets or leaving can’t happen because Kevin does not lose and her leaving would be him losing which he refuses to do. She’s a possession.

So yes for Allyson murder felt like the option because what other option would there be?

I was saying on a different hellsite that part of Kevin's downfall is getting stuck in multi-episode arcs his sitcom life isn't prepared to handle.

Pete never breaks into singlecam but he gets sick of Kevin' shit and leaves all the same, and that starts when Kevin runs from office- a direct result of Allison working against him. Pete is definitely supportive of the campaign, as opposed to Neil. That's status and power he can mooch off! But Kevin is too egotistical and disorganized to not botch something requiring *continuity*.

Same with Lorraine. Kevin can't deal with the introduction of a recurring character, and his attempts to "write her off" just piss Pete off even more.

One of things I'm enjoying about Kevin can fuck himself is how the comedy aspect is always a new scenario every episode with little to no connection to previous episodes (which is typical in comedies), whereas the drama aspect is all plot continued on from the last episode with huge consequences

continuing to repost my old takes for the new audience: Allison is a Laura Palmer expy (pretty blondish white woman, seemingly beloved and living an idyllic life, but actually in deep shit with major character flaws, ala Jackie Taylor, Rachel Amber, Lilly Kane) but instead of being a doomed by the narrative ghost, she is the central pov and has autonomy.

Throwback: Kevin Can Fuck Himself and Dead to Me ran concurrently. Both shows centered on strong female friendships. Both shows had a canonically queer best friend deuteragonist. One show had the creator confirm one half of the pair was in love with the other, the other confirm there was nothing romantic intended.

How many canonical queer romances did both shows conclude with?

Zero.

How many fandoms had a significant portion of commenters go "Just for once can we have a well-written platonic female friendship without making it about sex??"

Two.

Not to be a buzzkill but they only make that face under duress.

Please give her some oxycodone and brown liquor. She'll know how to use them.

And here we have my beautiful murderous cringefail girlfriend in her cute lil bisexual puffy jacket 🥰

I don’t know why I’m bothering to try to make you care. Because she won’t let me go, and you do what she says, no questions asked. That’s not true.

Mary Hollis posted THIS, with no context, during the last few minutes of Bisexual Visibility Day:

YES, we are looking at the coat.

She really said it's bi visibility day we are going to be looking at the very bisexual coat.

I don't know about you but I'm calling it textual. Canon. Confirmed.
