Hmm, we're off to a quite interesting start for a week. Seems that the visit from Hanners cheered Marten quite a bit (yes, definitely a "D'awwwwwww"-moment there, way to go Hanners!), but still, DAMN he looks rough. And haggard.
Seriously. I'd say, no sleep or shovering, just straight to work from the eye of the shitstorm.
Every now and then we all lose our temper. It's never pretty, and it never helps things in the long run, and psychological studies may show that it has bad effects if you do it too much... but as much as I accept all that, I also know how it feels to be under a gigantic pile of shit when your world turns on you. And I know that sometimes, just for a few shining moments, getting it all off your chest does make you feel a little bit better. Marten needs to let out his emotions, and if Hannelore can't manage to get him to do it by being adorable, then maybe a good old-fashioned yell session might at least help him a little.
This. Alltogether, even if we've seen Marten to possess the calm of a zen-master, there is a certain amount of crap a person can take. And somehow i get the feeling that he's gone
waaay past it. Even when you know it itsn't really wise, healthy or even rational to have an outburst of rage, sometimes you just have to let it out. And in this case, mixture of bottled up emotions (mix of anger, (misplaced) guilt and sadness) and sleep deprivation (or atleast it seems like that) could send Marten having a fit of rage of epic proportion. If that actually happens,
I pity the fool who happens to push him over the edge..
So, what im thinking, shall we see in the near future...
an explosion in which Marten lashes out to someone, with possibility of quite nasty consequences
or....
an implosion where he keeps his cool appearance and continues to mourn and suffer privately
Somehow i have the feeling that something big is going to happen, as if there hasnt been enough drama yet..
but still.. All work and no play makes marten a dull boy
But, on the other hand, this is just my guesses and speculations, we'll just have to wait and see what Jeph has in store for us...
