#Around The World In Eighty Days

[guardian-of-soho]

What about this fallen Aziraphale —

— with this angelic Anthony Crowley?

Accurate

There are 3 categories that fit David Tennat Characters

Hear me out. I think most if not all of David's characters can be sorted into 3 categories:

Neurospicy Twink

Sad Dad

Distinguished Psycho

Allow me to demonstrate

Neurospicy Twink:

Sad Dad:

Distinguished Psycho:

And of course the character that fits the trifecta: Dad, Twink and Psycho all in one

It seems I didn't post this More kids!!!

Character: Benedict Phileas Jonathan Fogg, or Benedict Fogg, to friends - Benny. Fandom: Around the World in Eighty Days (1972-1973) He is the only son of Phileas Fogg and Belinda Maze (now Belinda Fogg). A kind boy with a heart of gold. Polite, resourceful, fair, but as befits a child, he is also at times naughty, mischievous and playful (for the most part he can behave this way with Passepartout, among the rest he is an innocent angel). Excellent friendly relations with Fix, who by that time had corrected himself, and thanks to Benny, he slowly stops talking to himself.

***

Character: Jillian Skellington, aka Jill Fandom: The Nightmare Before Christmas Daughter of Jack and Sally Skellington. Like her mother, she was put together piece by piece. Among the Halloween Kids, she is the youngest and the only one who was not born naturally. A quiet, modest, but talented and well-read person. She plays the violin quite well and is interested in taxidermy. Good relationship with parents. Unlike Majoria, Jill considers PDP to be quite interesting guys and dreams of making friends with them (she also fell in love with Deimos at first sight and hopes that he will reciprocate her feelings. Still, Sally herself noticed good potential in the witch boy)

Well, and, in fact, their parents:

…And to think that I didn’t quite like the first episode and considered not watching the rest! Phileas Fogg turned out to be such a darling, so sad and so delightfully tormented. Yes, he’s not the Phileas Fogg from Jules Verne's book, cold-blooded and self-assured, but I gradually came to appreciate this version more. I have a thing for neurodivergent characters—and David Tennant always delivers :)

If you haven't watched Around the world in 80 days with David, or if you simply don't want to get your heart broken by a Fogg x Crowley comparison, you should maybe scroll past this.

Oh, you're still here? Good.

Imagine this: It's been a few months since Aziraphale left. Crowley has been spending them drinking and sleeping away the days, ever since the second the angel disappeared from his eyes.

He hasn't been in contact with anyone, ignoring Muriel's attempts to get him out of there.

And he won't talk about it. He can't talk about it.

So, one day, Muriel stops by his flat to check up on him, finds him deliriously drunk, slumped over at the feet of his couch, probably fell during his attempt to grab another bottle and couldn't possibly get back up.

He's slurring, his hair a mess, his clothes rumpled. He must have at some point ripped his shirt open, maybe in despair or simple overheating, because Muriel could see his now bare chest, bracketed by his shirt, but there were buttons scattered around him.

Muriel hurries over to his side, grabs his hands and tries to get his attention.

"Mister Crowley?" They take his hand in theirs and give it a firm squeeze. "Please, Mister Crowley?" The demon won't look at them. "Crowley?!" They say, unintentionally in a similar way Aziraphale used to call out his name when he was worried.

His eyes slowly open and attempt to focus on the blurry, blindingly white image in front of him. Muriel repeats his name, and Crowley finally speaks.

"Aziraphale...?" His eyes are as open as he could get them, but the image is fuzzy as ever. Still, there's only one person his unimaginably drunk brain wants to see, so that's what he sees.

"No, it's me, Muriel," they try and correct him, but he doesn't seem to be able to listen. Or even care.

"My darling Aziraphale, you came back! I always knew you would." A couple of tears escape the demon's eyes, his glasses nowhere to be seen to cover them up as usual. "I always knew," he repeats, his voice breaking. "Well, no, I didn't know, but I hoped." He attempts to squeeze the warm hand still holding his. "I dreamed," comes a whisper.

"Mister Crowley-" Muriel attempts again, but gets interrupted once again.

Crowley brings their joined hands on his naked chest. "Feel my heart, Aziraphale," he whines his name. "It's always been yours. Waiting for you." He's properly crying now, sobs escape his mouth but there's also a faint smile there. "Now you're finally here, I can tell you everything!"

Muriel couldn't stand interrupting him again, he was smiling. Clearly, his own brain was deceiving him, but he was smiling.

He told them, thinking it was Aziraphale, about his travels. His blessings, when he was doing Aziraphale's job. And then he told them about his blessings, when he definitely wasn't doing Aziraphale's job.

"I saved a young boy's life!"

"That's wonderful," Muriel cooed.

"I just want you to be proud of me," Crowley admitted. "Just once." He looked them in the eyes, or tried to, anyway. "You see, angel, I've been alone for such a very long time. You were right to go. To leave me."

Muriel wanted to stop him, comfort him, tell him he was wrong. But he didn't seem to want to hear anything they had to say. So they remained silent.

"I could never have been good enough for you, I think you knew that from the start." His voice was now raw with emotion, no more whining. It was as if he was numb to those things he was saying. Like he'd accepted them. "I think we both knew."

With that, he closed his eyes and went to sleep. Soon, soft snores started coming from his mouth, replacing the heartbreaking sobs.

Around the world in 80 days, 2021. Episode 4.

[somethingjustsouthofbrilliance]

This idea has been bugging me for a while, so I decided to turn it into a thing and now you all have to suffer with me. (tagging @thinking-with-quadrants)

Welcome to the shitpost titled:

(drumroll please)

How is Phileas Fogg like a Disney Princess?

Item 1: Does he have magic hair?

✔ Can we even argue the point?

Item 2: Magic hands?

✔ You know it

Item 3: Do animals talk to him?

✔ I mean... probably not saying anything nice, but... still counts right?

Item 4: Was he poisoned?

✔ The proof is in the pudding... er... datura seeds

Item 5: Cursed?

✔ Okay, not really, but... just humor me

Item 6: Kidnapped or enslaved?

✔ Kinda?

Item 7: okay, we're skipping the making a deal with an underwater sea witch bit for obvious reasons, although I must say, I wouldn't mind seeing Fogg with a merman tail 😏

Item 8: Ever had a true love's kiss?

✔ Oh, we're definitely gonna give him that one

Item 9: Have daddy issues?

✔ And then some....

Item 10: Do people assume all of his problems got solved because a big strong man showed up?

✔ *insert a shit-eating grin here*

Welp, I'm gonna go hide now

[aestophobia]

I didn't think I could ever see david tennant playing a more pathetic character than crowley but then i starting around the world in 80 days

[mismess]

Idk how to draw real people I only know how to cartoonify them

[zeldamacgregor]

Here's a set of moody gifs I made from some of my favorite shots I clipped for this fanvid last night. Phileas Fogg is everything, even if his head is up his ass sometimes often.

the sets are so lush and so are his little hand movements

I love the realization scene so much, 10/10

🥺🥺🥺

ep 2 is my favorite

ngl the hair twirl is why this whole set got made

Phileas Fogg Screenshot redraw

Once again some tumblr post introduced me to a variety of David Tennant movies and shows I had never even heard of, one of them being Around the World in 80 Days. And now I've watched it. And I love how awkward Phileas looked holdig not just one but two weapons

[mj-irl]

Phileas Fogg from the 2022 Around the Workd in 80 days is an Autistic character

Routine

Same food

Gender roles

Social cues

Rules for himself

Quick to brake with the rules society is imposing when justice is involved

interest in technology special interests

Enjoys things that’s others consider childish or silly

Social awkward

Anxiety

Empathetic

Doesn’t make friend easily

Sees things others don’t

Bullied

Stims

Not a hugger

Sensory overload

[tenderlywicked]

Headcanon # 1: These three definitely have a thing going on. Abigail and Passepartout have a passionate fling (with a bit of playful Femdom involved), and for a while Phileas Fogg is only watching them from afar with those sad eyes of his, until they very firmly say he's a part of the family :) He might (or might not) want anything carnal. He's theirs anyway.

Headcanon # 2: Phileas Fogg is a fobwatched Time Lord :)
