Silco's "power" monologue scene is so much more impactful with the context of what Vander did to Silco.

In the past, Silco was strangled and held under the water so long that he almost drowned. In the present, he resides in an office situated underwater, with only a giant glass window standing between himself and the river.

In the past, Silco pulled a knife out of Vander's pocket to defend himself, but he was not strong enough to fight Vander off entirely. In the present, he pulls a knife out of Deckard's pocket, rendering him defenseless and scaring him into complying.

In the past, Silco lost his left eye in the river due to a wound that became infected. In the present, he taps the knife next to his good eye, close enough to look intimidating but not quite close enough to cause actual damage.

He's talking about the ways in which his philosophy about power was shaped by his experience with Vander, while physically demonstrating his power by taking control of situations that once made him feel powerless. God I love this show.

Ohhh [fictional character with worse mental health than me] save meeeee from this cruel world.

in the meantime: study, journal, read more books, sit in silence, listen to music, take walks, take the stairs, do more things alone, do more things with friends, take notice of the small wonders of the world, create a sacred space in your mind

do you ever think about how a series of tiny choices like "I guess I'll watch that show" can like totally and entirely change huge aspects of your life
