Bell, Book, and Candle: S1 E6: “Tom Hiddleston: ‘Every villain is a hero in his own mind.'”

Starring Kirstjen Michele Nielsen (Olivia Taylor Dudley), the Alice Quinn of SyFy Channel’s The Magicians.

“Every villain is a hero in his own mind.”

“Ah. Yes. The Tom Hiddleston quote. I respectfully beg to differ. I, for example, have never entertained that delusion.”

Later on. After the demented in the alley. It’s Ms. Nielsen and KK in KK’s apartment. Ms. Nielsen is back to being Ms. Nielsen, instead of being Ms. Handcock.

“Time to discuss that point of curriculum divergence in the lesson plan that I inherited from you. Or, did you summon me here on a false pretense for a booty call?”

Out of the blue. Albeit, a longtime coming.

As if triggered by their sexplay, although their sexplay has never caused this before.

Depravity ALWAYS leads to insanity, for hardcore degenerates of KK’s ilk. That’s what’s happening to KK. Maybe, that’s what’s in store for Ms. Nielsen, if Ms. Nielsen is so inclined.

KK’s brain short-circuits. She experiences a meltdown. Eccentric gives way to out-and-out crazy. KK is in the midst of a psychotic break. A complete nervous breakdown. Crazy, crazy, crazy.

“This Ms. Nielsen of yours is NOT real!!!” A completely-unhinged KK shrieks.

“What?!”

The lunatic KK gestures arcanely. A musty old book flies off one of the numerous bookshelves lining the walls and opens up right in front of Ms. Nielsen’s face. Ms. Nielsen shrieks, blackouts, and drops to the floor in a heap. The girl reverts to the guise of Ms. Handcock.

The rack “reaches” out to Ms. Nielsen’s limp body and straps her down. The sentient tome returns to its place on the bookshelves. The rack stretches out the girl just short of tearing her apart.

“Begin the treatments. Lobotomy, first,” KK commands in a deranged voice that’s not her own.

The rack obeys. Drilling into the girl’s forehead. Veracious, mind erasing, parasitic brain slug at the ready for its subsequent insertion. An infectious self-replicating designer brain slug, a so-called golluum.

Designer brain slug. A creature of pure instinct. Designed by whom or by what? Designed by a Golluum, of course.

The tome that subdued Ms. Nielsen so easily? The fabled Second Book!

Later…

Ms. Nielsen proves to be uncontrollable, of course. Her immune system targets, kills, and “eats” the golluum implanted in her brain. But. By the time she escapes her captivity, the madwoman KK is long gone along with The Second Book. Left behind is a xerox-copy of said Book. The photocopy is neither a false flag nor is it a warning not to be taken lightly; it’s a breadcrumb.

Hours later…

Ms. Nielsen comes to, strapped down on the rack. The rack itself having been lobotomized by KK in an effort to cover her tracks. Angie is also in the room with the restrained Ms. Nielsen. Likewise, Angie has been lobotomized by KK to cover her tracks. The rack and Angie have been rendered feral and wanton by their respective lobotomies, as if they were Furie in heat.

Angie attacks Ms. Nielsen as the girl frees herself. Angie loses in short order. Ms. Nielsen ties Angie up. The High Council will have to be informed about what happened. After which, Ms. Nielsen will return to her life as Ms. Nielsen.
 

Weeks later…

Now, solely animated by a golluum, that CANNOT be removed. Angie, on the other hand, proves to be unsavable. She is sentenced to confinement in Elizabeth Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane, for the remainder of her natural life. Muzzle. Deep throat penis gag. Padded room. Straitjacket. Ankle restraints: ankle cuffs. Shock treatments. Stark, raving mad. Etc. Very, very, very BDMS. Very, very, very Victorian.

For now. KK is in the wind, in possession and control of the second most powerful Book in Creation. And. Of all the things to use this Book for, KK used it to get a hold of Ms. Handcock an “imaginary” piece of ass (imaginary to her) that she craved. That’s beyond stupid!

There’s something else of note. The rack’s golluum was, Angie’s golluum is, and Ms. Nielsen’s golluum was, not the spawner, they’re the spawn. As such, per the rule of three, where is the Golluum that begot the rack’s, Angie’s, and Ms. Nielsen’s golluums?

Six months later…

Meanwhile. In the background, there’s a resurrection of sorts. Subliminally resulting in Ms. Hardcock.

Ms. Hardcock?

Ms. Hardcock is Ms. Handcock as a binary proxy of Ms. Nielsen’s formerly-self-erased non-binary proxy Mx. Handcock.

So. Beneath that clean and pristine veneer that is Ms. Nielsen?

Ms. Hardcock “hides” in Ms. Nielsen’s subconscious, on demand by Ms. Nielsen’s Id. Plans within plans. The planner AND Ms. Nielsen’s Id prefer a ragged non-binary in latter-transition (a Mx. Hardcock), but, for now, a ragged binary in latter-transition suffices (a Ms. Hardcock).

It’s a Dame-Judi-Dench-husband-imposed AND a Ms.-Nielsen-self-imposed veneer. Therefore. The planner MUST bide its time and wait. Not a problem. It’s patient. It’s an old thing, a very old thing. Hungry. Ravenous. Nonetheless. It’s used to patiently waiting, as that is its nature anyways.

A Ms.-Nielsen-self-imposed veneer? Imposed by Ms. Nielsen’s Ego.

For it to stick. Ms. Nielsen MUST willfully and willingly choose Ms. Hardcock to the front. It cannot be forced upon her.

Shift from “incoherent” to “pornographically violent.” Where, from your perspective, they become a blur, and, from their perspective, your fastest movement is excruciatingly slow.

Who un-erased Mx. Handcock as a Ms. Hardcock? Golluum.
