Photo-Illustration: by The Cut; Photos: Getty Images, HBO, Shutterstock Can you feel that? The shift in the air? Not the changing of seasons but the ushering in of a new era; we have skipped right over “short king” season and into a new chapter of a demented fairy tale, that of the “chaos goblin.” A chaos goblin, for the uninitiated, is a short man with undeniable charisma and an unpredictable energy.
I did not initially watch Succession because everyone else was watching it or because it seemed good or even because it was created by Jesse Armstrong, whose work I like. I watched it because I saw a picture of Culkin on the red carpet hugging co-star Nicholas Braun and barely coming to his chest. I had to know who this man was, had to get a handle on the demonic energy radiating from the screen. Roman, I am sorry to say, is my exact type.
This thirst for pocket-size chaos goblins has been simmering online for a while, but Culkin as “slime puppy” seems to have brought it into the cold light of day. The internet on the whole has played a big role. It’s the space where we go to explore and legitimize our thirst, logging on the day after a Succession episode drops to talk about every look exchanged between Gerri and Roman as if we were by some kind of horny watercooler.
The only tall celebrity I crush on is Tyler, the Creator, who despite being six-two, I would argue carries goblin energy. Like Driver, he oscillates between quiet introspection and loud outbursts. He carries a childish curiosity with a simmering temper, as seen in videos and on his TV show Nuts and Bolts, in which he endearingly investigates things he’s fascinated by.

Scientist behind UK vaccine says next pandemic may be worseOne of the scientists behind the Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine is warning that the next pandemic may more contagious and more lethal unless more money is devoted to research and preparations to fight emerging viral threats. In excerpts released ahead of a speech Monday, Prof. Sarah Gilbert says the scientific advances made in fighting deadly viruses “must not be lost” due to the cost of fighting the current pandemic. Gilbert is scheduled to make the remarks Monday night when she delivers this year’s Richard Dimbleby lecture, named after the late broadcaster who was the BBC’s first war correspondent and a pioneer of television news in Britain.
