Good News: You can watch IWTV on ABC iview for free with VPN!
So, if you are like me, who literally have no way to watch IWTV except by 🏴☠️ despite you really really want to give them the money and viewership, now you can!
Just set your VPN to Australia, open ABC iview on your browser and sign up with email. They'll ask if you're in Australia or not, but it still works. You can then watch on browser or download the app APK on your phone. With this, at least we can help the viewership 😉
Of course please watch IWTV on AMC+ if it's available in your country. that will help AMC to know there are fans there 🫶
Y’all ever think about how crazy it is that the plot of Body Thief even happened. Lestat. Lestat.
I feel that these two go perfectly with this trend.
NOT SHIP ART.
I've made a dandelion painting for a friend's birthday and this will be the card:
Get it? A dandelion. Jaskier's name in English translates to Dandelion. DANDELION.
Have close-ups:
Inspired by this lovely post, because I think it encapsulates Dracula and Jonathan’s whole deal over the length of the Vampire Hell Staycation.
Jigen changed Nisei's mind about Lupin being a thief
Originally, Nisei was dead-set on Lupin becoming an honest man. He never considered his son's desires, why would he? He's his father and he knows better. Being a thief is dangerous, and he wants Lupin to be safe. The kid already suffered enough at Isei's hands.
He started considering it after he saw Lupin's First Heist - or at least understanding how important this was to Lupin, and that he couldn't make him back down. You can see it in his (Shinobu's) eyes, that he understands.
But even understanding Lupin's decision, he still tried to keep Lup away from the drama, tricking him into going to Nagano, out the bomb's range. Maybe he was starting to accept that he couldn't keep Lupin from becoming a thief one day, but he was still doing his damnedest to stop him from jumping into the action. Even after he was unmasked, he refused to give up the information Lupin needed, even pulling a gun on his son.
And then Jigen pulled a gun on Nisei, and Nisei did a 180 and offered Lupin a chance to prove himself.
Because he knew that with Jigen by his side, Lupin would be safe.
He hadn't see Jigen fight yet, I think as far as Jigen's skills go he trusted Lupin's choice - Lupin's first heist as Lupin the Third was stealing Jigen's heart, for God's sake, even Nisei can understand what that means.
He knew that Lupin had chosen Jigen, and the moment Jigen pulled a gun on him, he had confirmation that the inverse was true too. That Lupin had succeeded, that Jigen had agreed to be stolen, that by that point he would do anything to protect his partner. Jigen would have shot Nisei without hesitation if he'd done anything to threaten Lupin. And that is what changed Nisei's mind. That is what convinced him to give Lupin a chance - not give him his blessing, no fully accept his decision yet, but to give him a chance to prove himself. Because even with Lupin's skill, Nisei would only let him go if someone had his back.
"With this kid by his side, maybe my son will be safe."
Nisei may be terrible at being a father, but he genuinely cares about his son, he wants him to be safe. He went out of his way time and time again to protect him, as Phoolan in ep. 3 and as Shinobu in ep. 5. He knew he couldn't stop Lupin from pursuing his own path (he saw Lup going to Isei's contest and didn't try to stop him, he knew that Lup was installing traps in the house and didn't tear them down). He knows he can't really stop Lupin from pursuing that path, but he's trying as much as possible to delay it. To shield him from the full consequences of his choice.
"Being a thief is a two-way street. It's not just about what you acquire. Because you always lose a fair share, too."
This was what Nisei was trying to protect Lupin from, I think. Not from the physical dangers of thievery (Lup already put himself in plenty of trouble), but from the emotional damage. From losing things, people. I don't know what Nisei lost - I'm guessing Lupin's mother, but that's more a headcanon than a real theory. Nisei wanted to spare his son that pain. But with Jigen by his side, to support him, maybe Lupin is ready to handle that pain now. (And man did Lupin learn that lesson fast.)
"Consider the Walther a little farewell present from me."
Nisei's not going to be in Lupin's life anymore (not that he was ever very present, but that's another can of worms). And he's only agreeing to let Lupin go on his own, after Lupin has proven his skill, and after he's found someone to have his back. Nisei isn't going to protect Lupin anymore. He's trusting that Lupin is skilled enough to stay on top, and that if his skills ever fail him, Jigen will have his back.
He's entrusting his son's safety to Jigen.
This is the same image, you can't tell me otherwise.
He literally looks the same 10 years later!
