#Biff Rose

[singeratlarge]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO PAUL WILLIAMS. In addition to his amazing run as an actor and singer-songwriter, he wrote or co-wrote (with Biff Rose and Roger Nichols) songs covered by David Bowie, The Carpenters (“Rainy Days & Mondays,” “We’ve Only Just Begun”), Jack Jones, The Muppets, Helen Reddy, 3 Dog Night (“Old Fashioned Love Song”—also covered by Micky Dolenz), and Dionne Warwick—not to mention award-winning film and TV scores. He’s been Chairman and President of ASCAP since 2009 and is a member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame. In recent years he’s had a resurgence, working with Richard Barone, Daft Punk, and The Scissor Sisters. Somewhere he’s found time to take up skydiving and become a UCLA certified Drug Rehabilitation Counselor, co-authoring the book GRATITUDE & TRUST: RECOVERY IS NOT JUST FOR ADDICTS. 

Paul wrote the confessional “Someday Man” as a single for The Monkees. Upon release in 1968, it under-performed and got lost as a “deep cut” + Paul’s own version didn’t do much better. However, as cream rises to the top, in time the sophisticated and art-y song grew in popularity, in part because Davy Jones revived it for his solo set in 2009. Now it’s considered to be a Jones/Monkees evergreen and (speaking as a former band member) it was one of our favorites to play. Here’s the song from the 2011 tour Davy did w/The Monkees. Meanwhile, HB PW and thank you for your many musical gems.

[ch0 | NOW ON A03]

Now of course, this was Tina’s wedding. Which meant there had to be a horse involved. And not just Jericho, who had given his blessing for the bride to ride a real horse down the aisle while he sat in the audience - front row. And so now Louise found herself hoisting Tina up across an admittedly lovely multi-colored horse. Tina’s lavender dress and rose-gold tulle train were striking against the black and white fur of the Irish Cob, as Louise’d been told.

What was odd was the second horse standing out of the trailer. But when she asked the lady from Rent-A-ppaloose she was told they didn’t like to be too far from each other. That was good enough for Louise. Some couples were just super codependent.

Louise stood in a deeper purple dress, hair done up not as elaborately as Tina’s -who Gretchen put extensions on in order to braid and twist and cascade- but it was still a nice half-up/half-down. It had her feeling not too bad about not having her beanie for another night.

She looked from Tina up on her horse, to Bob who was next to them and holding the reins. His eyes were shiny with the tears welling, but he was holding it together better than everyone thought he would. Louise might lose the pool on that one, but oh well. She already won the “when will Linda burst” pool. That woman was way too predictable. It happened when the bridal party took their pictures.

“Whelp that’s it. I’ll see you two crazy kids at the other end of the aisle. Don’t biff it at the home stretch,” she bantered, giving a very gentle nudge to their dad’s shoulder before going to get in line behind the floral arch.

Which of course put her back into Logan’s vicinity. She did her best to not let it bother her when she caught him grinning at her. Except it bugged her a little because it didn’t feel like a grin where he was about to say some dumb remark. It felt more genuine and like a…smile? Was she reading that expression right? Didn’t matter, she opened her mouth as the music started up.

“Damn that color looks so bad on you.” They stepped forward.

To her surprise, he just nodded and shrugged, “Honey isn’t really my color, but I knew that when I agreed to the job.” They stepped forward again.

“Job? Ha, I don’t think anyone would or should pay you to wear that.” They stepped forward again.

“You’d rather I take this off then?” Logan teased, pulling the lapels of the jacket forward as he raised his right brow. Seeing her mouth gaped open, he dropped everything and cleared his throat. He didn’t know what came over him. Louise obviously didn’t either, since she froze and nearly missed their cue to walk the aisle.

They walked in silence the rest of the way, both focusing on their steps and replaying that moment.

They stood on their marks and watched as Zeke walked down the aisle in a rose-gold suit, a few sprigs of lavender pinned on the pocket. Then watched as the music shifted into something magical and everyone stood. Bob, Tina and the horse made their way down the aisle. Louise couldn’t help but think about how beautiful her sister looked up there. With her rose-gold laced veil flowing behind her and the sun casting what seemed like the perfect light, she looked so ethereal. 

Zeke helped Bob help Tina off the horse, both men had eyes so red that you’d think they’d been poked repeatedly for the past hour. Louise wouldn’t admit that her eyes had also watered. She opted to look away as Tina and Zeke carefully stepped to the altar. It was then that she noticed both Andy and Ollie standing at the end of Zeke’s line. Louise had been so busy with everything else that she forgot the twins were a part of this. It made sense though, as they were every part Zeke’s brothers as they were Jimmy Jr’s. Next to them was cousin Leslie. Then Logan, whose misty eyes made contact with hers and forced her to look into the crowd. Which was full of mostly familiar faces. The parents of both parties, Gene, an empty seat for Jericho, Teddy and Kathleen, Mort, Marshmallow, Trev…

Louise did a double take. The Pesto twins made perfect sense being here, but the long time honorary Pesto who was still mostly just an acquaintance to Zeke and Tina? Louise narrowed her eyes. Something was up.

“Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today-” the officiator had started and was cut off by a sudden crescendo of music and a whinny.

“To rock your socks off!” declared one Jimothy Pesto Jr from the back of that second black-and-white Irish Cob Louise had questioned before. He was dressed in the same color as Zeke and Louise took a step to stop him from shimmying to the altar, but Susmita put an arm out and nodded at the couple. To her surprise, Tina and Zeke looked excited to see their best friend crashing their wedding.

“Sorry Louise, it was a big surprise,” the older woman whispered.

I’ll say, Louise thought as she watched the three of them situate themselves in a very rehearsed manner at the altar. She was going to have some very choice words for the bride later. Both as a maid of honor and as a sister.

The rest of the ceremony went smoothly. Vows were said (Zeke did indeed tell a shortened version of when Tina helped him get the Wagstaff mascot costume for his grandma, who cheered from the audience), rings were slipped on fingers, and kissing happened. Louise looked away at that. Tina was kind enough to keep it pg for everyone, but it still wasn't something Louise preferred seeing. Out of the corner of her eye she thought she saw Logan smirking in her direction. Probably finding it funny that she still shied at watching her sister be intimate on any level, but she had gotten more than enough of that in their childhood thank you very much.

-x-x-x-

After the party had filed back down the aisle and into the rec building, Louise beelined for the “ladies room”. She wasn’t as careful at opening the door this time, half shoving it open before she thought about how Tina could be just behind it and eased up. Her sister barely got a “hey” out before Louise went off.

“T what the actual hell?! I thought Jimmy Jr couldn’t be your best man at the last minute because he had a dance thing!” Somewhere in that sentence someone had tried to open the door, but Louise heard it close again so she assumed they decided now wasn’t the best time to change into reception clothes. Arms crossed, she raised a brow to clue Tina in that she was waiting for a response.

When the newly not-Belcher gave a classic groan, Louise just sighed and dropped her arms back to her sides. “Tina. Did you know the entire time that Logan was going to be the best man?”

Turning her face ceiling-ward, Tina cleared her throat. “Uh, no? We made a list first and then narrowed it down to him.” She braved a glance at her usually volatile sister. When she didn’t look ready to lunge for Tina, she let out the breath she was holding.

“Who all knew?”

“Me, Zeke, Jimmy Jr, Susmita, Andy and Ollie, Leslie, Trevor, Dad and Logan.” Thorough, as usual. She hoped Louise wasn’t going to make that into a hitlist. Louise was certainly thinking about it.

“And why, praytell dear sister, was my nemesis the chosen one for this?” Her tone was a little too sweet for Tina’s liking. The one that was just before something diabolical.

Tina gulped. “I, uh, thought you’d look best dancing with him for the reception number?” Quickly she added, “Like you wouldn’t look ready to maul any of the other bridesmaids for touching him if we put you with someone else. Ahah.”

For the second time in as many days, Louise clutched her imaginary pearls. “Tina! I can’t believe you would think that I cared if anyone so much as looked at Logan, let alone was subjected to dancing with him.”

Admittedly, Tina looked a little smug at this. “I didn’t say anything about anyone looking at him.”

Aghast, the younger sister sputtered for a moment. “Cement-ticks, T.”

Then she spun around and opened the door to see Susmita, Tammy and Jocelynn all looking at their nails or phones suspiciously.

“Meeting’s over, everyone get in and get changed,” she barked. They all filed in, continuing to not make eye contact with her. Rolling her eyes, she closed the door and got into a regular blouse and dress pants. All chatter was graciously on Tina and how great the ceremony went.

-x-x-x-

Soon the guests were seated in the ballroom. Louise had Gene and Logan on walkie talkies, giving orders and getting everyone into position. She may be furious with a choice few people in the building, but she was willing to put that aside to make sure every second of Tina’s big day went butter smooth. She’d deal with the loads of betrayal later. 

“Alright Gene, make with the emcee. Logan, fuck this up and I’ll end your family line.” 

Before getting a confirmation from her sibling, Logan buzzed in. “You hear something Gene? Over.”

“Uuhhh no? Over,” was heard in reply, along with snickers from both Gene and Alex.

Louise pinched her nose and growled into her mic, “I swear to the scariest being you can think of, if the two of you don’t get your shit together right now then I will bury your bodies under Wonder Wharf where no one will find them. Over.”

There was a beat before Logan piped up, “Right. Yep. Hear you loud and clear!” Sheepishly, and perhaps cautiously, he added an “Over.”

Hearing the beat to a Men4Eva song start up, Louise tossed the talkie aside and motioned for Tammy and Jocelynn to go out the door to dance their way to Andy and Ollie in the middle of the dance floor. Susmita was next as Louise gave Tina a tight hug.

“I’ll pay you back when you least expect it,” she whispered. Tina got whiplash from how fast her youngest sibling went from that to a cheerful “Break a leg,” before she stepped out the door.

Having practiced the choreography for weeks, Louise wanted to slam her head into a wall. She should’ve known Jimmy Jr was still involved somehow with how extravagant the pre-reception dance number was. Hell, Louise was pretty sure most weddings didn’t even do anything like this. Not like she’d been to many, but Teddy and Kathleen’s was definitely more laid back than this.

Instead, she sucked it up and took a breath as she met Logan.

In conclusion:

Puck and Sam are the most shippable characters with 19 each (including ocs)

Of the main 13, Santana is the least shippable with only 7 (including an oc)

If a character isn’t here is because I only ship them with only one character or I simply don’t care about them

And now I’ll tag 286 characters *sigh*

heads up, seven up

a WIP tag game

tagged by @philtstone, primary breadwinner for Psych fic fans

rules: post the last seven lines you wrote, then tag seven people.

The last 7 lines (kinda?? it's a little more but it's fine ignore it) I wrote, which is from an AU where Jennifer Parker is a main player in Back to the Future Parts II and III:

“One punch, and McFly laid him out,” the boy with little to no chin said gleefully to the aghast girl standing above them. Jennifer took his distraction as an opportunity to accelerate her rummaging through Biff's pockets. “I saw him go back in the gym with Lorraine Baines on his arm …” "Good for George," said the girl, extremely impressed.

Jennifer twitched the left side of Biff’s jacket open, and there— There it was— She reached into his jacket and pulled it free. It was all bent up from being stuffed in there so carelessly. Several of the pages were dogeared and one so thoroughly smushed into the almanac she was worried if she tried to straighten it out she’d rip the page. She flipped through it. Baseball. Horse-racing. Croquet? It was all there. It was the real deal, not another porn mag. She stuffed it into her voluminous skirt pocket and stood. “Hey, did you just take his wallet?” Chinless asked. “Not his wallet,” said Jennifer. “Whuh?” said Biff groggily, and Jennifer thought hard about it for a second before she kicked him in the side of the head and booked it for the gym.

tagging @rogue-vigilante @rose-of-pollux @scribefindegil @astriiformes @aceofthyme (although please feel absolutely NO obligation to do this, I just have it on good authority that you're working on stuff and it feels like a cop-out for me to always respond to these things like 'uhh do it if u want!') and any others (and I MEAN that tag me in it I swear) that would like to!

Back to the Future - Outta Time (One Shot)

Description: When Marty is faced with the death of his father, he runs to the Doc for comfort.

A/N – So, when I went to London, I saw the Back to the Future Musical. It’s my new fave musical and it rekindles my obsession with the franchise.

Warnings – Angst.

Rating – T

Marty had thought of a lot of things since he first met Doc Brwon, and the two had taken part in various adventures together.

He had thought about the many different lifetimes and ways upon which they had both met in other timelines, he had considered the various experiments they might attempt in their lives, and he had even wondered what it would one day be like to have the Doc serve as his best man when he was ready to marry Jennifer.

In all his imaginings of events past, present, and future, he had never thought about the day he was currently faced with. Yet, as he sat in the front pew of the church, one of only six people at Doc Brown’s funeral (unless you counted Doc’s dog Einstein who made their number seven), he didn’t know what to say, but he would have to figure it out soon since the priest would soon call upon him to make a speech about Doctor Emmett Brown and who he had been in life.

Jennifer squeezed Marty’s hand, and he turned to look at her, silent tears falling from his eyes as his mouth sat slightly ajar, his bottom lip quivering against the onslaught of sorrow.

Past Jennifer were Marty’s family, and the only other people to attend the funeral. While it was a relief to have them there, Marty couldn’t help but wonder about the family he had left behind in his original timeline, and where they would have been on this very day had he not accidentally changed the events wherein his mother had fallen in love with his father.

His original, unchanged family probably wouldn’t have been there. That George McFly would have been stuck at home, doing Biff’s busy work, his mother Lorraine would likely have been drunk and his siblings… Well, they probably would have told Marty that he was wasting his time mourning an insane disgraced physicist and that it was probably for the best that such a lonely old man was gone.

It wasn’t fair to imagine his family like that when they were here for him now, but Marty couldn’t help it; after all, this more successful, happier family had only been his for a little over two years.

“And now, we in the church would like to hear a few words from Emmett Brown’s dear friend, Marty McFly,” The priest said, standing aside from the podium where he had been delivering the Doc’s last rites.

Marty rose quickly to his feet and jerkily made his way to the podium. He couldn’t help hating the Priest for getting that last part wrong. Granted, the Doc’s name was Emmett, but he should have always been called Doc, first and foremost; Doc was proud to be a scientist and he shouldn’t lose his doctorate even in death.

“Uh- Hello- Hel- Ah- Hi,” Marty waved awkwardly.

“I need to say a few words about the Doc, and uh-”

This wasn’t right. None of this was right.

“And uh,” Marty repeated, his throat dry as he stared past the audience of only five people, picking a spot on the far wall in an attempt to focus.

“Uh-” He tried again, his vision blurring as his eyes welled up with tears.

Then it occurred to him.

There was a time machine with his name on it. A Delorian which he could use. There had been timelines where it was destroyed, one where it was marketed, and at least four wherein the Doc had gone back to the Wild West and traded in the Delorian for a train and a family, but as far as this Marty McFly was aware, there was only the Delorian, and it could give him more time with Doc.

“Excuse me for a minute,” Marty breathed half-heartedly before running from the church.

Jennifer got up to go after him as well as his mother, but his father shook his head, indicating that Marty probably just needed a minute.

10 MPH.

Marty had barely started the car, having only set the date for a few days earlier, when the Doc had seemed so alive and well like there was nothing wrong with him.

30 MPH.

Time travel had saved both him and the Doc in the past. Logically, he knew that there was no saving the Doc from this one, with no cure for old age, but he still needed to see his best friend.

55 MPH.

This probably wasn’t a good idea. A therapist would likely say that this wouldn’t lead to closure and that it was unhealthy for Marty to be doing something so impulsive and stupid; then again, what kind of therapist even knew about time travel?

88 MPH.

As usual at this speed, Marty was going to see some serious shit.

Once Marty was back in the past, he parked the Delorian and ran to the bungalow where Doc Brown lived, letting himself in amidst one of Doc Brown’s more stable experiments.

“Marty!” Doc lit up upon seeing his protégé, “You’re just in time! See what happens to this grape when I-”

Marty crushed the Doc in a hug, crying into his shoulder.

Doc Brown’s arms went wide, uncertain of what they were supposed to do in such a situation wherein social etiquette was not his second nature. After a minute, he closed his arms around Marty, patting him on the back twice before he simply held onto the boy.

“Marty, what’s wrong, my boy?”

Marty shook his head, for once too riled up for the right words to come out. He couldn’t tell the Doc what was wrong. If he did, he would spend his last days thinking about his impending death and that wouldn’t be fair.

All the same, though the Doc wasn’t well versed in reading people, he knew Marty and he understood that such an outburst could only be linked to something tragic. So, even though it would have probably been wiser to simply wait until Marty was ready to talk, he began guessing at the problem.

“It’s your family?” He astutely tried, earning another muffled sob from Marty. “Your sister? No, mother? …Father?”

Marty only cried harder at that so Doc pressed on.

“If I am correct in my observations Marty… Well, I-” Doc Brown didn’t want to provide his hypothesis; after all, he had only seen Marty so worked up in an alternate timeline… one wherein Marty’s father had tragically expired early thanks to Biff.

All the same, Marty was young and if he couldn’t outright say what was on his mind, then perhaps it would help if Doc said it for him, “Your- Your father has passed away… Am I right?”

Marty clung tightly to the Doc. He was the man who had always been there for him, through every timeline, and he had never given up on Marty, even when nobody else believed in him. The Doc was more like a father to Marty than anyone else, which wasn’t really fair to his newly confident biological father, but then again, that version of George McFly wasn’t the man who had raised him.

“Yeah Doc,” Marty answered after a minute. “My dad died.”

Doc Brown stroked Marty’s back, “Tell me what you need.”

“Can I just stay here for a while?” He asked in a small voice that made him sound ten years younger, more a child than almost a man.

“Of course, whatever you need, my boy.”

June of Doom Day 4 - Fracture

A/N: Strickland never realises the amount of suffering he inadvertently caused Marty. Set during Part II.

Dammit, McFly, you'd make the lousiest James Bond ever.

Marty's hand flapped around uselessly on top of the desk, blindly feeling around for the sleek paper of the Almanac's front cover. He felt the tips of pencils and the edge of what he suspected was the desk lamp, yet he couldn't risk moving further out from his hiding place for a proper investigation. Strickland couldn't have put the damn thing in a drawer, or the bin…That would've really helped-

His ears registered the disgusting creaks of Strickland's chair.

Then came the sickening crack.

His nerves screamed.

HOLLLYYYYYY SHHHIIIIITTTTTTT-

The sensation seemed to spread along each of his fingers and radiated as far down as his wrist. He was able to contain the urge to scream long enough to rip off his fedora with his other hand and shove it into his mouth, biting the fabric so hard that he felt the fabric seams rip. OH MY GOD OH MY GOD WHY STRICKLAND WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DO THAT YOU OLD BASTARD AHHHHHHHHH-

A loud slurp told him that Strickland had finished his coffee, the pressure instantly being relieved from his tortured hand as the principal's chair returned to its normal position. Marty instantly yanked his hand back under the desk, continuing to munch on the fabric in his mouth. The pain only seemed to intensify as he looked at the mangled flesh; even his fingernails were pulsating with agony.

He couldn't believe that he hadn't screamed, but it was still taking every ounce of control to stop himself from hyperventilating. Get a grip on yourself, McFly!

Strickland rose from his chair, the sound almost making him jump and smash his head into the desk. He watched on as the principal gazed at the Almanac before casually dumping it in the wastepaper bin, slamming the office door behind him.

If he hadn't been in so much pain, Marty would've seen red. Instead, he stared at the trash basket in a numb state of disbelief. Seriously, Strickland?! You were just gonna THROW IT AWAY? Why the hell did I even bother!

Marty took a few deep breaths before he forced himself to move from under the desk, cradling his injured hand as carefully as he would a newborn baby. He forced himself to tear his gaze away from the discoloured skin and pulled the Almanac from the bin. "Yes! Yes!"

Holy shit, I did it! Thank goodness….This means we can finally go home!

Feeling giddy from a combination of pain and bliss, he found himself beginning to flick through the pages, expecting to see the familiar statistics and columns he'd initially seen in that future vintage store. Instead, a cold dread settled over him as he began to come across raunchy photos and a disturbing lack of women's clothing. "No!…"

No no no no no! Don't tell me!…

Fumbling with one hand, Marty threw the dust cover aside, his heart sinking as he realised he was looking at an adult magazine. "Ooh La La?! OOH LA LA?!"

In any other circumstances, he might have considered taking a moment to have a proper read.

But his fury was raging hotter than the fire consuming his hand, and he swore colourfully as he threw the useless magazine aside, panting as he grabbed the walkie talkie from his jacket. Dammit, Biff, you bastard! You did this on purpose!

"Doc! Doc, come in! GAHH!" Marty sunk his teeth into the collar of his jacket to stop himself from howling. He glanced at his noticeably-swollen hand, the beginnings of multiple bruises visible in the muted office light. Curious as to the extent of the damage, he gingerly tried to flex his fingers, only for a renewed wave of torment to ripple through his flesh.

"Marty?!" Doc's anxious voice warbled through the radio. "Marty, come in!"

"Doc!" He realised his voice was shaking almost as badly as his damaged hand. "Doc, Jesus, I blew it! ARGH!"

"Marty, what the hell happened?!"

"Strickland!" Marty hissed between gritted teeth. "Squashed my damn hand, GAHHH! SHIT!"

"Marty, focus!" Doc ordered. "What about Biff and the almanac?"

"He must still have it! All I got is the damn cover!" Marty realised he was on the verge of tears. He clenched his jaw shut as he doubled over, moaning pitifully into his elbow. God, man, this hurts!

"You mean you don't have it?!"

"NO I DON'T, DOC! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK?!" Marty allowed an unrestrained scream to leave his throat, the sound reverberating in the small office space. He remained unrepentant of the racket he knew he was making, continuing to hold the swollen appendage delicately. "I don't have it and it's all my fault and- ARGHHH!"

"Marty! Marty, you need to focus!" If Doc was angry or disappointed with him, he didn't let it show in his voice. "Where is Biff now?"

"…I don't know!" Struggling to gain his breath, Marty stumbled to his feet and collapsed into the wall next to the windowsill, resting his forehead amongst the dusty blinds as he tearfully stared out into the empty car park below. "He could be ANYWHERE and I wasn't fast enough-"

"Marty, the entire future depends on you finding Biff and getting that book back!"

"I KNOW, DOC! I'M TRYING!" Marty shrieked furiously, his emotional state only heightened by the spasming of crushed nerves and ligaments. Despite the thick curtain of tears obscuring most of his vision, his jaw fell as he suddenly recognised a very familiar scene unfolding in the car park below. "Holy shit!"

I never got to see this part!

"Marty?!"

Marty stared in amazement as his mother leapt from her seat in the Packard to tackle Biff, only to be cruelly shoved to the ground in front of a visibly-shaking George. "Hang on, Doc! I gotta go!" He screamed eagerly. "I got one shot! My old man's about to deck Biff!"

Without bothering to answer Doc's garbled question, Marty shoved the walkie-talkie and his injured hand into the depths of his jacket, racing out of Strickland's office at an unprecedented speed. I can't screw this up again…The broken hand is gonna have to wait.

I just hope it doesn't fall off…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO PAUL WILLIAMS With his amazing run as an actor and singer-songwriter, he wrote or co-wrote (with Biff Rose and Roger Nichols) songs covered by David Bowie, The Carpenters (“Rainy Days & Mondays,” “We’ve Only Just Begun”), Jack Jones, The Muppets, Helen Reddy, 3 Dog Night (“Old Fashioned Love Song”—also covered by Micky Dolenz), and Dionne Warwick—not to mention award-winning film and TV scores. He’s been Chairman and President of ASCAP since 2009 and is a member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame. In recent years he’s had a resurgence, working with Richard Barone, Daft Punk, and The Scissor Sisters. Somewhere he’s found time to take up skydiving and become a UCLA certified Drug Rehabilitation Counselor, co-authoring the book GRATITUDE & TRUST: RECOVERY IS NOT JUST FOR ADDICTS. 

Paul wrote the confessional “Someday Man” as a single for The Monkees. Upon release in 1968, it under-performed and got lost as a “deep cut” + Paul’s own version didn’t do much better. However, as cream rises to the top, in time the sophisticated and art-y song grew in popularity, in part because Davy Jones revived it for his solo set in 2009. Now it’s considered to be a Jones/Monkees evergreen and (speaking as a former band member) it was one of our favorites to play. Here’s the song from the 2011 tour Davy did w/The Monkees. Meanwhile, HB PW and thank you for your many musical gems.

The Anniversary Ache

In which a Red Mage laments the old injury that drove him to leave his shield behind - and Thancred offers to help him forget it instead, if only for a while.

My FFXIVSwap gift for empressgwenny (@biff-adventurer here on Tumblr) - here's to your H'zula Tia getting a little more attention!

                H’zula huffed in irritation. None of his usual spots for loafing around in The Willow’s company house worked. With the anniversary of his injury hanging over him, he couldn’t even be lazy right. He noticed he was flexing the fingers of his left hand again. The movement was slower than he would’ve liked. Narrowing his eyes, he forced the subconscious action to cease.

                Huffing again, he rose to his feet and headed to the door. When he opened it, framed in the Lavender Beds’ green scenery was Thancred, one foot on the first step of the door.

                “Oh! Just the man I was looking for,” said Thancred.

                “Good afternoon, Thancred,” H’zula greeted. His smile was only partially forced; socializing was something of a distraction, even if he wasn’t entirely up for it. “To what do I owe the pleasure?”

                “Would you care to join me for a drink, my friend?”

                “A drink?” H’zula noted that the day had only reached mid-afternoon. “Isn’t it a bit early?”

                Thancred shrugged. “Perhaps. Do you have anything better to do today? Especially given what today is.”

                He knew it was the anniversary of H’zula’s injury. That didn’t surprise him much, though it still undid the sense of distraction. H’zula’s tail tip flicked behind him.

                H’zula shook his head and closed the door behind him. “No, no I don’t.”

[ocalaghan]

i finished watching the golden girls tonight and let me tell you... that is not a show to finish watching when you're in the heartache of a friend break-up lmao.

it was good though. i started it in january 2022 because it had been on my radar for a while and in the wake of betty white's passing, it felt like a fitting time to finally start it. i watched the first 5 seasons quite quickly but slowed waaaaaay down with the last two. i can see why it was so loved. i almost wish i'd kept note of the plot-holes to make a post about them though because i noticed soooooo many.

i think rose and dorothy were my favourites. rose was so sweet. i'm clearly too fucking soft to be alive because sometimes when the other girls made jokes at rose's expense, it made me feel like crying lmao.

i was surprised the series ended without saying anything about she and miles' wedding because they were engaged just a few episodes before the finale? i guess that might be because of the sequel show but i was shocked it ended with a wedding that wasn't rose's. i'm glad she was choosing to stay living with blanche and sophia instead of moving in with her daughter though, but it did sort of make me wonder because if she's getting married won't she be perhaps moving in with miles sometime in the near future???

i was happy for dorothy though. the whole series she had such back-and-forth with stan and the other girls joking about her single life so i think she deserved a nice husband!!! the fact it was someone related to one of her best friends was a nice twist (although it did make me wonder how old he is if he's blanche's uncle).

blanche's story concluded the way she'd always been and she's fairly happy with her life so... no complaints there??? i think it would've been fun if sophia had a lil boyfriend though. but i still have to watch the golden palace so i guess we'll see. i'm just glad none of them will be lonely/without each other. the scene of them all crying and hugging goodbye had me so sad though. like pls! you can all visit each other! </3

throughout the series though i had a crazy hard time keeping up with their families. it seemed like they all had absolutely hundreds of siblings and children. rose had like... nine (???) adoptive siblings. and she mentions five children but we only ever meet two of her daughters, kiersten and bridget, and we know of two granddaughters, both kiersten's.

and then blanche is one of five children and i think we meet all of her siblings bar her brother tad in this series. and i was constantly confused by her kids, every time she mentioned one of them it seemed like there was a new drama!!! probably because she was a distant mother who relied on nannies because she had five kids she seemingly wasn't super interested in mothering, but anyway. i know we meet janet and rebecca whom she repairs her relationships with, and then we don't meet matthew "skippy", or doug, or biff. and we know her late husband had a son borne of an affair, david. i like to think blanche keeps in touch with david and maybe introduces him to his half-siblings so they can all have a relationship. it bugged me that he was called david though because, common as the name may be, they could've just made it something different since one of janet's three children is called david and we meet him during the series too.

dorothy was less confusing because she only had one sister and one brother (i was so sad for her and sophia when he died??!) and only had two kids, michael and kate. so as a result, sophia, also less confusing, because she's got three kids with one of them obviously being a main character.

anyway. i find it deeply interesting how the perception of middle-aged women has changed in the decades since this show aired. i always thought these women were meant to be much older than they were (with the exception of sophia, since she's aged 80 in the pilot). like definitely late 60s at the very least (which still isn't really that old now). but they're all early to mid 50s when the show begins. they are by no means 'old' ladies in my eyes. whereas you look at shows nowadays that portray women in their 50s, you generally wouldn't assume they're 50. it's just interesting how the style has changed but also the lens through which we view aging women.

anyway, it was a great show. i'd like to watch the sequel. i feel like it tied up the main plots nicely enough and it made me laugh out loud genuinely several times. it was far more progressive than i expected it to be considering the era and seeing these beautiful women being trailblazers for 'older' women, and for these minority groups and prevalent issues they discussed on the show was a joy.

it feels strange to think they are all now passed, but they've given people such comfort even long after their deaths. <3
