I am an Order Muppet with Chaotic tendencies.
Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Oh, I would definitely put "sex" in there, too. Did you notice that he put his hand on the right side of her chest when she was feeling his heartbeat (Cumberbatch's put his on her left...when she objected, his intention was less clear-cut).
I was more struck in that last scene by the "kicked dog" aspect of the relationship the second time through. Miller really sold the conflict of both loving and hating Frankenstein. Which, I suppose, is also toddler-like.
I definitely saw the difference in reference (toddler vs. TBI) in the opening sequence, but more striking to me was that I swear I could see the thought process step by step with Cumberbatch and he didn't skip anything until he got up on his feet (walking should have taken longer, but I understand that they didn't want to spend a lot of time with falling down from standing. We can only go forward.) whereas Miller looked like he was recreating something he'd seen. It's a really subtle difference, and, like I've said, it was probably the "this is what we're doing in school" thing that really made it stand out to me.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
I did see the hand, and at the time thought it was innocent...
And if it makes you feel better, I did sit there in the opening sequence going, "Gross Motor Functions, check!", as well - and I'm not in school right now.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Where are folks getting this Chaos vs Order muppet thing? I am curious, although I predict ahead of time I'll be an Order muppet despite the state of my housekeeping. I am, it seems, a slut, in the traditional sense of the term.

So now I am left with the question am I an Order muppet because I get the kids out the door every day, or am I a Faux Order muppet because I do not alphabetize?

Do you feel occasional qualms over the lack of alphabetization? Order muppet.

Not often, but I do feel deeply identified with Kermit.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I think I'm an Order Muppet, just not always a good one. A mediocre Order Muppet.
