The best part about Mr Robot: The main character is unreliable so you never really know what the fuck is going on.

Reblogging this because I need to express my pain right now

first draft of mr robot: the major motion picture clocks in at about 2hrs40mins. I cut out a lot of subplots. it’s a rough cut and I think the editing software messed w/the resolution but hey, proof of concept. the transiton from 3x04 into 3x05 turned out great!

Oh that social faux pas you committed? Nobody remembered that. Nobody remembered how you stuttered or went off topic or said something embarrassing. Well, nobody except the sorcerer who saw you do it. Yeah, he saw it. He cursed you to remembered to forever too. Yeah that’s the only reason why you still think about it. Kill the sorcerer to win.

re: mr. robot, s3 – if there were a way to condense 3x04-07 into a ~3.5-4 hour psychological thriller?

I’d love to see the end of 3x04 seamlessly carry over into the scene w/elliot and angela, giving the audience NO chance to catch their bearings.

angela’s flashback at the very start of 3x05 and w/elliot’s (3x07) after the conclusion of 3x06 would get placed elsewhere. or maybe cut them entirely? keep a little of elliot’s job at e corp from 3x02 and the reveal during 3x03 for the hook.

this effectively cuts darlene/tyrell/whiterose/santiago out save for where they’re strictly plot-relevant, but most of tyrell’s development is off-screen anyway & whiterose/price can still function as a presence felt rather than seen. same w/irving and darlene. might have to keep some of the fbi stuff though.

perhaps it wouldn’t gel without the context of previous seasons… still, I love the immediacy of the stakes in 3x04-06 and inescapable dread with a glimpse of hope at the end.

no one’s ever gonna really truly get you but that’s okay because you get you and you get to have this secret magical world that is entirely your own in the expanse of your imagination

insult to injury ch06’s rough final draft is ~8.3k. might truncate a bit, but I also like the long haul of tension and opportunity for character growth. will either alternate POVs between safin/madeleine or split into separate chapters. I like the challenge of the former more right now.

also my first shot writing q (implicit cameo) and 007 (the fic’s tritagonist), hopefully it works out!

write fanfic that three people in the world will read, because those three people are going to be fucking pleased that it exists
