It sort of irritates me when people act like Doof is such a great dad. When canon explicitly tells us the opposite.

I don't mean to say Doof doesn't care, he does. Very much so. But just caring doesn't make him a good dad. It just makes him a decent person. Vanessa loves him very much. But love isn't the only thing needed to be a good parent.

I see people cite the Mary McGuffin doll, and him spending years tracking it down as proof of him being a good dad. And it does tell us (and Vanessa) he cares, but it also tells us how out of touch he is with Vanessa's actual wants and needs. Vanessa is 16. She doesn't really want the doll anymore. The doll only has meaning to her because of the effort he put into it. Proof he has actually listened to something she was saying even if it was nearly 10 years ago. Doof has set the bar that low that Vanessa feels so attached to this one gift. In Vanessa's own words he is a substandard dad. She is biased, due to the way he embarasses her, but she's not wrong as often he can't even be bothered to actually listen to her.

He took her to Tokyo instead of Paris for his own interests. He tried to erase Vanessa's memory in order to make himself look better to her. He compared her (or rather Candace's) fashion sense to a clown. He set up a little girl's party when she was 16 and didn't even know she considered herself to be punk.

He tries, oh does he try. But without listening to Vanessa he can't actually do anything for her. His few successes are often facillitated by Perry who does. This lack of listening is at the center of the finale, where it almost causes him to lose her completely. When he finally listens he can finally start connecting with her, and not only that he realizes other things about the way he's been living. And this is something Vanessa, his 16 yr old daughter is telling him. Vanessa is being her dad's therapist and that's not necessarily fair to her.

And in Milo Murphy's Law when he moves in with the Murphys he continues to cross boundaries and not listen to people (particularly the household's teenage girl), acting in many ways more like an overgrown child than a parent himself. And in Vanessa's appearance she's still cleaning up after him and playing couple's therapist with him and Perry.

And don't even get me started on how Doof treats Norm, who recognizes Doof as his father only for Doof to constantly belittle him and refuse to treat him like a son. (Not unlike his own parents). Doof does seem to care for Norm, but that doesn't mean the other stuff he does doesn't exist.

This is especially egregious since PnF and MML have lots of great parents. Lawrence knows about and sometimes goes along with his boys shenanigans and often inspires them. He and Candace may not always be on the same page, but he makes and effort to include her, to try and spend time with her. In regards to Mary McGuffin, Lawrence may have not known Candace still cared about her doll, but he gave her more money than he made off of it to try and make it up to her when he realized that she did.

Martin is someone Milo admires, taught him how to deal with Murphy's Law, who left to give Milo his moment in Athledecamathalon and has otherwise offered his full support to Milo and dedicated time to spend with him. We see less of his interactions with Sara, but he's aparently the one who got her into Dr. Zone, and he understands Murphy's Law can be hard on her too and makes efforts to stay away from her when she needs space. He knows when to cheer his kids on and when to step back.

Dave Grant, Beppo Brown, Richard Chase and Roman Carter are all among the many father characters who seem to have a more healthy relationship with their kids than Doof. Not to mention the grandfathers. None of these parents are necessarily perfect but they are good parents.

I love Doof. He's a great character and a loving father. But he's not a great parent and that's part of what makes him a good character. Makes his interactions with his family fun. The functional dysfunction of it all. He's not simply a good or bad parent. But he's certainly not great.

Seit heute, dem 02.02.23, ist der Film "Ein Mann Namens Otto" mit Tom Hanks im Kino und ich freue mich sehr darüber, dass ich Beppo dem Clown, meine Stimme leihen und Otto gehörig auf den Zeiger gehen durfte - wie im Trailer bereits angedeutet wird ^^. 

Herzlichen Dank an die Regie, Elisabeth von Molo, der Aufnahmeleitung Mariola Szerkus und dem Team bei Iyuno 🤗

without fail I'll be sitting there, thinkin "i'm not very high" and then I take a big sip of some limeade with the ice and automatically go "oooooooh dats a cool sip" and realize i'm in a blimp with beppo the clown soaring over kilimanjaro with a high powered tranq rifle and shooting primordial ancestors to toe tag the ape that begot me and give it a firm backand to the face and a gutteral "unghh" that simply says "do not reproduce" and drop out of the stream of time like a smooth porpoise riding thermal streams under the azure carribean sea. forever amen

On this day January 22, 233 years ago, was born in London George Gordon Byron, Lord Byron, 6th Baron of Rochdale.

Gifted with a kaledoiscopic personality, he was at the same time a man with a strong common sense - an aspiring statesman, a revolutionary, a man nearly unable to being not a pragmatist - and, on the other hand, a poet, a Romantic character who charmed his contemporaries.

"To begin then - I have seen myself compared personally or poetically, in English French German (as interpreted to me) Italian and Portuguese within these nine years - to Rousseau - Goethe - Young - Aretine - Timon of Athens - "An Alabaster Vase lighted up within", Satan - Shakespeare - Buonaparte - Tiberius - Æschylus - Sophocles - Euripides - Harlequin - The Clown - Sternhold and Hopkins - to the Phantasmagoria - to Henry the 8th - to Chernier - to Mirabeau - to young R. Dallas (the Schoolboy) to Michael Angelo - to Raphael - to a petit maitre - to Diogenes, to Childe Harold - to Lara - to the Count in Beppo - to Milton - to Pope - to Dryden - to Burns - to Savage - to Chatterton - to "oft have I heard of thee my Lord Biron" in Shakespeare, to Churchill the poet - to Kean the Actor - to Alfieri, &c. &c. &c."

From Lord Byron's Detached Thoughts, October 15, 1821

Have some pictures of my cat Beppo. He’s a kind boy, but a bit dumb sometimes. But it’s ok because I shall protect him.

Please look at his sad little “eyebrows”

When we found him he could fit in our hands still and I immediately named him Beppo. He looked so sad as a kitten. My mom then asked me why “Beppo” and my only reason was “he just looks like a Beppo”. Days have passed before my mom eventually went “Beppo is a clowns name”. So yes, hello, this is my personal small clown. He does many dumb things and yells a lot.

All right, I went to the opera again yesterday - tickets very almost free. I went with friends and it was ‘Pagliacci’, which I love. I’m a huge verismo fan in general. This time wasn’t particularly great. Just okay. And I was also really tired both physically and mentally and yet I lost myself in music a couple of times... And that’s the feeling of feelings! The singers were on point in general - I’d never heard “Nedda” - Valentina Fedeneva before and was pleasantly surprised by her! Fedor Ataskevich was “Canio”. He seems to literally sing every single tenor part in this theatre (Mikhailovsky) these days. Well, this one isn’t his best... And I’m not a huge fan of his anyway... So, there was a clown and he was as murderous and jelous as the plot famously requires for this ‘la comedia’. Boris Stepanov, who I actually am kind of a fan of, wasn’t in his best vocal shape - he has just the voice for “Beppo” - high, ringing, silvery tenor, but yesterday the sound he produced appeared a bit hoarse. Hope it’s just the cold everyone seems to have this chill, rainy season. Alexander Shahov’s “Silvio” was slightly wooden for both my ears and eyes while another baritone Boris Pinhasovich really shined as wicked “Tonio” - you know, when vocalisation seems so... easy! And the singer can act... fool around... contort... pretend... because operatic singing is SO easy - sound just comes naturally out of their throat... I first heard him as “Yealetsky” a little over a month ago... and now... wow - this guy is really versatile - give me more please and thank you! Ok, Rimsky-Korsakov’s rarity ‘Mozart and Salliery’ is next on Saturday!

HEAVENLY IMAGES

I came across a voice

said god had died

and curious I went to see

what was in everything

it for sure.

I went up to the sky and called Let me in I told them! Let me in I yelled at them!

I saw a group of Greeks

philosophizing while

they drank a yogurt.

I saw Judas Thaddeus

playing trilero

with the nails of Christ.

I saw picasso

in his azure time

throwing bites

from colors to gray clowns.

At the sixth hour I saw

to the seventh cavalry

arriving in eighth place

while Beethoven's Ninth Symphony was playing.

I saw some flocks

minutes

fly past

towards a cuckoo clock.

Leonardo threw

from a catapult

tilting stars

to the firmament.

Anna Ajmatová shared

big scoops

cold winter

from the Soviet front.

Badelaure, Rimbaud

and Paul Valerie

they had a conversation

heated with Keats, Yeats

and Borges who was passing by

with his cat Beppo.

Over clouds of sugar

and cotton

she danced dressed in white Marilyn Monroe

while it rang

Lady in red.

I smiled. I looked for a door and knocked.

Let me out I told them!

Let me out I yelled at them!

The voice has lied.

Nietzsche was wrong.

It helps me if I see myself through his eyes sometimes: PART ONE: THE BLOG

This is not a meta where I’ll be theorizing or analysing some deep buried subtext, or what Sherlock is trying to solve exactly, my point is so bring to the surface some themes that explicitly tell us that season four takes place in Sherlock’s mind, because without it, it’s impossible to solve the previous problems. Let’s say his trance/dream/EMP/whatever starts in TAB, not because I think so but because the previous seasons are irrelevant here, this is tightly focused on TAB+S4.

Okay, let’s get started. I’m going to reference TAB a lot  because it gives us all the answers. (In the next parts though, instead doing a huge meta I decided to break it into a few parts).

This here is the key to understanding why S4 is the way it is. Keep it in mind at all times when thinking about season four, as it’s just a continuation of TAB.

Sherlock Holmes 28 March 13:08 : Also, please note that sentences can also end in full stops. The exclamation mark can be overused.

Sherlock Holmes 7 November:  I see you haven't spent the last two years working on your writing technique.

Boop! And they were fine. Here’s the answer to all the Bond/horror movie vibes and even the unfired Chekov’s gun - in Sherlock’s opinion, John is a lousy writer (although I’m sure he just teases most of the time).

More examples of John’s blog coming to life:

The Great Game:  This morning, for example, he asked me who the Prime Minister was. Lestrade described Sherlock as a child and, in many ways, that’s what he is. = The Six Thatchers

The Great Game:  As is my sudden use of phrases like “regular readers of my blog”. It seems I’m starting to enjoy writing up my life. It helps, though, when I discover that half of Scotland Yard are reading it. = Lestrade in The Six Thatchers

The Great Game: He was an assassin known as the Golem. He killed people by squeezing the air out of their body with his bare hands!  The Golem was there and it killed her. Then, it attacked Sherlock. I don’t think I’ve actually seen him scared before. Me, I was bricking it! I’d seen horror in Afghanistan. But this man was barely human. He really was a monster! = The Lying Detective (Golem = Culverton, the hospital scene. Sherlock’s line ‘This monster must be ended’)

The Blind Banker: It was all very James Bond. = The Final Problem

Tilly Briggs Cruise of Terror: I've had to take this post down for a while as the ship's owners are launching an appeal. = The Final Problem

The Geek Interpreter:  Three young men came to Baker St claiming that events in recent issues of a comic had started happening in real life.

The Geek Interpreter:  They'd been using Chris as a form of advertising. = The Lying Detective

The Aluminium Crutch: The play itself was mediocre but there was a murder! Live on stage! = The Lying Detective, Culverton

The Six Thatchers: We went to visit the people who’d been burgled and it turns out that they’d all bought one of the Thatcher figures. Nothing else had been taken during the break-ins which, again, was what Sherlock had expected to hear. We found the addresses of the people who owned the remaining two figures and contacted them. That night, I took one address and Sherlock the other.

I sat there, in the dark and waited. Then, hearing the sound of a window breaking, I hid. I watched as Beppo broke in and found the figure on the mantlepiece. I followed him outside and called Sherlock who joined me. We followed him to a bridge and watched as he smashed the figure to the ground. Something was inside it which he picked up, ready to throw in the river. Before he could, we stopped him and found that he was holding a penknife with his initials on it.

Knowing that it was all over, he confessed immediately. He and Pietro had had an argument and, in a struggle, Beppo had stabbed him. He’d seen the figures were about to go into the oven and had pushed the knife into the clay. He’d then smashed a window to make it look like there’d been a break-in. = The Six Thatchers and the greenhouse scene in The Abominable Bride

The Hounds of Baskerville: Doctor Louise Mortimer, had suggested he revisit the location of the attack in order to put old ghosts to rest [...]  And so, Sherlock took the case and off we went into deepest, darkest Devon = The Final Problem

The Hounds of Baskerville:  There was one thing that had bothered Sherlock from the start and that was Henry's use of the word 'hound'. It was an odd word, old-fashioned. He wondered whether it was another piece of his memory trying to break through and whether it was actually an acronym he'd seen. = The Lying Detective, Faith’s one word name

The Hounds of Baskerville: I've ever seen him do - he made Henry look at the dog's body. He didn't need to, he'd solved the case but it was as if he knew that the truly important thing was showing Henry what was real and what wasn't. = The Final Problem, Sherlock comforting Eurus/open your eyes, you’re not lost anymore

The Hounds of Baskerville:  His mind just couldn't cope with all the conflicting information - what he remembered, what he thought he remembered, everything. = Sherlock’s flashbacks in S4

The Inexplicable Matchbox: I'm afraid I can't say anything else about the case other than it was probably the maddest adventure we ever had. I mean, Sherlock had to dress up as a clown! Mrs Hudson was pushed out of a helicopter! And me? Well, I had to do something I never thought I'd ever do. = The Final Problem and The Lying Detective (Mrs Hudson, the car scene)

Many Happy Returns:  But then there was this DVD. It was a video of Sherlock recording a message for my birthday dinner. = Mary’s DVDs

The Empty Hearse:  And all I could hear were children! Singing and laughing like they were in a horror movie. = The Final Problem, ‘Eurus’ and Mycroft

The Empty Hearse:  It was probably Sherlock himself. Set it all up just so he could save my life so I'd forgive him about what he did. = The Lying Detective, but John saving Sherlock

Happily Ever After: That night, the three of us (Mary insisted on coming along) broke into Chris's office searching for signs of an affair. = Mary joining them in The Six Thatchers

The Bloody Guardsman: He'd nicked a hat, disguised himself as a guard and entered the building. = The Final Problem, Sherlock entering Sherrinford

The Hollow Client:  We’d been drugged on the way in and taken to an exact replica of 221B Baker Street where a camera was projecting the suit into the chair. = all the projectors and drugs in S4, 221B is different, as well.

The Hollow Client: Jack was dressed up in the same fabric as the chair... = The Six Thatchers, car seat case

The Hollow Client:  I think he [Sherlock] preferred the idea of it being some elaborate plot involving ninjas and a complex set of mirrors. = TAB+S4

The Mayfly Man:  We'd just returned from a quiet, civilised evening in the pub when our latest client arrived at Baker Street. She was a nurse. And, apparently, she'd been out for dinner. With a ghost. [...]  Sherlock went onto the website and found a number of other women he believed had met the same man.  = The Lying Detective, Sherlock and Eurus as Faith

The Mayfly Man:  They'd swapped numbers but, when he hadn't got in touch, she'd gone to his flat to see if he was okay. And it turns out, he wasn't. Because according to his landlord, the guy who'd been in the flat had died over a week before. = The Six Thatchers, kid in the car dead for a week

The Mayfly Man: He'd found single recently-deceased men who had lived alone - and he'd taken the women back to their homes. = The Lying Detective, Eurus as John’s therapist

The Mayfly Man: Sherlock Holmes can really miss the bloody obvious. I pointed out that it was just a tiny bit possible that possibly there was a man out there who just, possibly, maybe wanted a few one-night stands. = John texting Eurus

[ahentyways]

So in the past couple of days, I’ve consumed a fair amount of BTS related content in order to prepare myself for attending the upcoming Wings tour in March. As such, I finally feel qualified to give my own personal rankings of the members based mostly on personality & traits I myself find endearing. This will certainly not be controversial, & I’m positive no one will ever use these reciepts against me. Okay, here goes…

7) Rap Monster - I have a long and storied history of clowning Dan Dan the Rap Man, & I’ve learned I was perfectly justified in my previous clowning, so that will continue. I’m sure Namjoon is nice enough, & he seems like a bright & determined individual, but I can’t deal with how corny he is & how he don’t have basic life skills & some of y'all still go up fa him.

6) Jimin - Jimin is a very nice and cute boy, but if I knew Jimin in real life, I would want to throttle him 25/8. A very sunshine-y and affectionate personality, I am not suprised in the slightest by his gaggle of fans, but his over the top cheek & sickly sweet cuteness would drive me up a damn wall. Jimin could come to my house party but he’s not gonna stay the night w/o some serious ground rules already in place, you feel me?

5) Suga - Yoongi stays in his damn lane, & I’m about that. He seems a little standoffish to me at times, but I get it. Pretty fucking funny when he wants to be. I think about the ‘tongue will send you to Hong Kong’ line from Cypher Pt. 3 a lot, b/c that shit was #iconic.

4) Jungkook - Jungkook is a certified goodboy, & I’m tired of y'all nasty asses saying gross, fetishy shit about him. My newly adopted virgo son does not deserve the level of over the top thirst y'all pile on him HE’S TOO YOUNG. 10/10 great kid I would let Jungkook dog-sit for me.

3) V - I kind of think Taehyung is a genius?? I’d love to pick his brain someday. Weird, but a really endearing kind of weird. I’d let Jimin stay the night at my hypothetical house party if I knew Taehyung or the ultimate goodboy Jungkook were also stayin over b/c I could trust them to balance things out. His hairline still irks me though…

2) J-Hope - BREAKING NEWS: I’d let Hoseok *** in my ***. Actually pretty annoying on camera, but it seems like a front mostly?? Hoseok is the most like a dude I would’ve liked in highschool, thus the appeal. He seems pretty chill & nice when he’s off. Really nice smile.

1) Jin - I did not realize I stanned Seokjin until really recently?? Like he stealthily made his way into my heart. Maybe it’s because I’m older now (23) & I now tend to admire people on the same wavelength as me lifestyle wise. Genuinely goofy, kind, & affable, Jin is definitely the kind of dude I’d be into now. A great laugh, really nice shoulders, & he can chop a goddamn onion for christsakes, so I could trust him not to burn down my fucking house making a bowl of cereal. Jin is the kind of dude who if you suggested Olive Garden for a dinner date would gently steer you towards the Buca di Beppo, or if Buca has a wait, the Macaroni Grill. Jin would probably sit down with you & commiserate while you do your taxes together. Jin would buy you the right kind of tampons without needing to ask plus some Cherry Garcia b/c he just gets it. I trust Jin with my life (b/c in this hypothetical relationship he’s carrying one of my epi-pens). I wanna make a home on his shoulderblades, but like, y'know, as a fan.
