#Bowler rambles

[bowlerhatwearer]

Re-watching Angel Hare, I noticed a photograph in "Case 4 - Field Work"

In the middle we have Zag and on the left I assume Gabby, so I wonder, is the person on the right who is obscured by light, perhaps Cam?

Edit:

Given how in "Bonus Disc - First Save" there is a picture where presumably on the right is Cam's Fran, I think it makes sense that it is Cam.

Bonus:

This has nothing to do with me theorizing, but I think it is adorable that a photograph exists of Francis and Zag together and smiling :-.)

Happy December, I’m I the only one but does anyone else remember or have played Polar Bowler back in the day?

NOW THIS WAS THE SHIT MY GUY! (Now I really wish Wild Tangent would bring this to Steam, GOG, or something because I’d love to play this again someday)

[mibkid]

Listen through and through i like vld , Yes i know shocker!(it isn't, though i have only posted ONCE about it on here w art..but anyways)

So if there was anything about voltron it was that the show had some bomb ass edits made and put on youtube.

That fandom thrived on those. i swear.

I also swear there was this whole "everything black" edit that i watched over and over.... i can't find it now BUT THERE WAS and the transitions were good too.

Of course Rey, you will be my closest and most loyal official, who I trust that they won't cause a revolt to take away the throne from me /jk

With me as monarch of Antarctica, every day will be a snow day, so there is no school and we shall also eat every day the national dish of Antarctica, snow cones!

The Emperor of Antarctica has spoken!

/*mad laughter*/

/joking

Except Antarctica, because once all other continents and islands have been pushed together, I will declare myself as sole monarch and ruler of Antarctica. All bow down to the emperor and ruler of the Penguins /*mad laughter*/ /joking

are there evne penguins down there? i am bad at geography

My Writing Masterlist

Everything that I've written lives here. Ted Lasso and Hogwarts Legacy, currently, but there's always room for more!

Ted Lasso

Roy Kent x Reader: Bowled Over (Multi-chapter, in progress)

You work at a bowling alley and a young girl named Phoebe has a birthday party there. You catch her uncle's eye.

Headcanons and Ramblings

Roy's whistle, straight teeth, and mouth hives

Hogwarts Legacy

Care of a Magical Creature (One-shot)

Professor Sharp finds the Hero of Hogwarts, Elizabeth Shallowbrook, in his classroom one night during her sixth-year, overwhelmed by the expectations that her heroics during the previous year have wrought.

Hiding in Herbology (One-shot)

Elizabeth Shallowbrook, now in her seventh-year at Hogwarts, is taking refuge in the greenhouse basement after receiving a letter from her mother when her sulking is interrupted by the potions professor, coming to gather ingredients from storage. Is technically a follow-up to Care of a Magical Creature, but can be read separately.

Headcanons and Ramblings

Five fun facts (and a picrew)

Bowler Bonnie

From that one Bonnie image in security breach that looks nothing like glamrock bonnie. Reference, final thoughts, and modelling progress under the cut.

For bendable fabric I'm surprised that weight painting cooperated with me.

I made the normal map actually look decent too, but maybe my posing and lighting is a bit off.

Also I now have a new tag for these posts: Rubellite rambles

[eventide-owls]

Sanders Sides in my style (including FANMADE Orange Side and Character!Thomas), where I mashed up Thomas's appearance in golden-age SS, modern-day SS and my personal artistic liberties!

Rambling commentary on design choices under the cut...

Love it when people take design inspo from his dyed hair era and make it color-coded to the other sides through the power of artistic magic

Gave stubble and ear piercings so he looks closer to his current appearance

Decided to give Character!Thomas that one jacket he really seems to like rather than the popular Steven Universe shirt bc it reflects his current style more

LOVE it when people give Roman scars- also gave Remus one across his eye to make him similar to Roman

Speaking of Remus... I removed the silver streak bc it's kinda a hassle to draw and doesn't really unify him with the others (also clutters his design) + just gave him heavier facial hair rather than a full-mustache

Janus's snake-side is usually a washed-out green when Thomas has his make-up so I made it more vibrant! I usually hate drawing Janus bc bowler hat + snake scales is a STRUGGLE but I like how he turned out

ORANGE SIDE ORANGE SIDE

His hair is spiked and swooped back to make him 'disheveled', 100% believe Thomas will wear orange contacts so he has those, and gave him short-sleeved leather jacket to relate him to Logan's short-sleeves

[dappercritter]

Dirt poor

Neurodivergent-coded

Cringefail baby man

Comically miserable backstory

Blamed all his problems on his roommate who was also an orphan

Simped for his evil robot hat

It really says something about the world that we live in that the Onceler is the definition of tumblr sexymen while this poor guy was forgotten.

He could've been a Tumblr sexyman. He deserved to be a Tumblr sexyman, and we deprived him of that.

[just2bubbly]

ab kal ke match ka heartfelt ramble ka waqt aaya hai honestly there's sm energy in me and it has to go somewhere, I'm gonna start off with the tournament as a whole, because some teams like Afghanistan and South Africa do deserve their appreciation as well. They both managed to do what their own teams before then failed to- playing a final and semi-final is a feat worth achieving ✨🙌🏻 and they managed to do it. We saw some good old West Indies back and that brought back a sense of childhood who had seen the likes of DJ Bravo and Chris Gayle play. Now as a fellow indian, seeing the Australian being defeated by Afghanistan and then later us 🥳 only to pin down their hope on Bangladesh- IT FELT SO SURREAL, LIKE YES BITCH CUMMINS THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR BEING SO RUDE (and 19 Nov ka badla hum toh Aussies se bohot baar lenge, with dugna lagaan)

Ind vs Eng, was the ultimate banger for me, the whole transition from a 10 wicket loss to 10 wicket haul was just amazing!! And sometimes we Indians forget the essence of our own bowlers in our team, but this wc was all about bowlers (ours and other countries)- after the ipl bashing, this entire month must have felt so hopeful to them. We got so many players like Bumrah, Maharaja, Rashid Khan, Naveen-ul-Haq defending low scoring matches- these matches that kept us as audience on edge. What a beautiful time to be a skilled bowler!

Now coming to yesterday, as a person that had nothing against South Africa as such but only had love for India- I deeply feel sorrow for your loss. I guess, we Indians know better than anyone how it feels to win all matches and then lose the final. I believe, your captain Markram is gonna do the magic our Rohit Sharma did last night. You just have to believe in him!

And to my beautiful Men in Blue- kal toh dil jeet liya 🥹🙌🏻 Everyone had been so worked up in the entire tournament. All of 11 players deserved the world cup, especially those that had played the 19 Nov. Last night's match was taking my breath away every over, it was so suspenseful and thriller and in the words of Sidhu "yeh match nazuk dil walo ke liye nahi hai" and it definitely wasn't and Bapu tumne toh humari jaan leli kal with that over (jeet mei sab maaf hai) but thank you Sky for taking the catch which people will talk about 10 years from now and thank you Hardik for not breaking our trust in that last over (Rohit did kiss you on behalf of 1.5 billion people yesterday 😚) but more than thank you to Captain that ended the trophy draught and thank you to the Coaches! ❤️

To Rahul Dravid, who was so intense yesterday- Indiranagar ka gunda jag gaya kal full 🥹😂 but thank you so much for making us what we are!! We are going to miss you so much 🫂🥹 and to Rohit and Kohli, we aren't sure if t20i will ever be same without you.

to the indian cricket team, WE ARE SO FUCKING PROUD OF YOU!! 💙🇮🇳

[kishmishorkissish]

It's hurting very much . Like middle order aur finishers ache they vesa hi openers vi khel lete to kitna acha hota, just fall short of mere 10 runs bowlers to pit hi rhe hain . Don't know whom to blame so blaming the whole team 😀😀 and fate like why are you being bitch.

Even thinking from there pov hurts like getting stabbed by a dagger . Why it has to be them Just whyy mi management and mark Boucher bkl .

Aur maine ek post dekhi usme ek commentator ne bhot kaleshi si baat boli , like jis se hardik ko aur hate mile bhai pehle hi itni milti hai tum log aur vo krdo 😀😀😀

Also it was kishmish's 100th ipl match and he didn't scored much and am worried for him and they lost isn't helping.Uske dimag mai chl to rha hoga ki 10 runs hor bna leta and the cycle of self blame gonna continue but it isn't his fault solely 🎀🎀

Chalo 9 matches gaye 5 match ka trauma hor hai 😀😀😀 .

Literally happy for hardik for his inning that too in that situation it was kuch needed 😭😭😭🎀🎀🎀

And to the people( mostly 45 FC) who were blaming him for the loss (including me somewhere) in today's match who you gonna blame Ro for the least sr 😀

At this point am just rambling some shits 💀💀💀

Itni shakti mujhe dena data ki agle 5 jhel saku. 🎀🎀🎀

Evil Love Blooming In The Dark Part1 Jude Jazza ~ Bitter END

 ｡⋆｡˚🦋˚｡⋆｡

Man wearing a bowler hat: "I knew you would come. Come this way, please."

The man wearing a bowler hat recognized Mr. Jude.

He puts an arm around my neck, pulling me closers and placing a gun to my temple.

Jude: "To have a gun and a knife pointed in a single day."

Jude: "Gosh, Kate you're so lucky. I'm glad you got to experience such things this quickly."

Kate: *gulps*

The cold, unsympathetic look in Mr. Jude's eyes makes it impossible to guess what his intentions were when he came here.

(The moment Mr. Jude cuts me off, my life is over)

Kate: "Nn...."

Kate: "P-Please....help me."

My voice was shaking from fear as I try to squeeze it out.

Jude: "........"

Man wearing a bowler hat: "Yes, that's right. What else can you do besides comply with your girlfriend's request?"

Man wearing a bowler hat: "So, can you please turn a blind eye to the goods in your warehouse?"

(Goods.....?)

Jude: "Ha. You wanna break your contract with me, huh? You know what that means right?"

Jude: "When I gave you this warehouse, I clearly stated that I don't wanna see 'humans' being bought and sold. didn't I?"

(.....So the goods he mentioned earlier......were humans....?)

(So the 'bad info' Mr. Jude has about this guy, is that he is doing human trafficking business....)

Man wearing a bowler hat: "That's why I'm asking you. Please, I don't want to hurt this girl."

Jude: ".....Let me tell you something."

Jude: "I despise rich people like you who sit on thrones thinking that you're the safest people in the world."

Man wearing a bowler hat: "I'm trying to bargain with you."

(......I hate this)

(I don't wanna get myself killed by some lousy man who buys and sells humans....EVER!)

Frustrated, I bit the man's arm that was around my neck.

Man wearing a bowler hat: "Oww!?"

The restraints loosen for a moment, and as soon as he crouches down holding his arm, I slipped away from him.

Man wearing a bowler hat: "Damn you, woman!"

I heard an angry voice behind me and moved my rambling legs frantically.

Kate: "Nn."

With a thud, I bumped into something.

Jude: "Oww.....if you wanna get out of here, at least look ahead when you run."

Kate: "....Mr. Jude."

The moment I recognised the person who embraced me, I suddenly felt my strength leave my body and sink down to the ground.

(My mind is already a mess.....)

(But, I can't believe how relieved I am to be embraced by this person)

Jude: "Why are you looking like you're about to cry? You idiot."

Kate: "....Don't call me an idiot...."

Jude: "Idiot."

Even though it's an arrogant smile, I am bewildered by the fact that it's healing my heart.

Jude: "Don't do anything rash. You can sit here and tremble."

Mr. Jude leaves me there, slumped over and walks up to the man wearing a bowler hat.

Man wearing a bowler hat: "Don't come closer!"

Just as the man was about to fire a bullet, something flew out of the darkness and pierced the back of his hand.

Man wearing a bowler hat: "Ughh..Ahhh....."

The man screams in pain and drops his gun.

(A knife....? Where did that come from?)

When I looked around, I saw all the guards lying on the ground motionless.

Ellis: "....Sorry, I ran out of bullets, so I used a knife."

Ellis appeared suddenly, shrugged his shoulders as if making small talk.

(E-Ellis...? Were you here the entire time?)

Man wearing a bowler hat: "....I-I-I will do anything you say....Please...Please spare my life......"

Jude: "Ah, I was thinking the same thing. Good for you."

Jude: "Instead of letting you die easily, I'm giving you a life that is worse than death. I'm sure living such a hellish life will only make you beg for an easy death."

Man wearing a bowler hat: "Ha...."

Mr. Jude pokes the man's forehead with his finger.

The next moment, the men fell to the ground on his back with white eyes.

Kate: "W-What did you just...do....?"

Ellis: " 'Putting someone to sleep, by a simple touch on the forehead'....that's Jude's ability."

Ellis: ".....Miss Kate, are you alright?"

Kate: "Y-Yeah...I'm okay..."

Ellis gives me a hand and I manage to get up on my feet.

Kate: "So....you're not going to kill him?"

Ellis: " 'The objective was to destroy the organization and Jude was in charge of whether the target lives or dies'. We accepted the mission on those terms."

(Huh....)

Kate: "Wait, so this was a mission....? I thought I was kidnapped by accident. So you didn't come here just to save me?"

Jude: "I knew these people were trying to reach me."

Jude: "And if 'my woman' is wandering around unguarded, it's only natural that she will be a target, right?"

Kate: "So in other words....you made me a bait?"

Jude: "It's funny how things work out the way they were supposed to."

Mr. Jude lit a cigarette and exhaled the smoke in a bored manner.

Kate: ".....That man is the worst....but you're no less."

Jude: "Thanks for the compliment."

Kate: "So then....were you also planning to let me die if the negotiations didn't work out?"

Jude: "Haa? Of course not. Ellis had that guy in his sight and you screwed it up by making a move."

Kate: "Eh.....?"

When I turned to look at Ellis.

Ellis: "But everything is fine now. Don't worry about it, I was thinking of helping you in the end."

(I see...so that's it)

(Nn...No no no no..you used me as your bait first)

(I can't think you're a nice person, just because you helped me.....!)

Ellis: "Jude, where do you want me to take this guy?"

Jude: "To the Lab."

Ellis: "Okay. I'll see you later, Miss Kate."

Ellis easily carried the man and leisurely walked out of the warehouse.

Silence fills the warehouse, and I started trembling slightly.

(.....M-My legs are shaking again.....I can barely stand up)

Jude: "Then, shall we go back to the castle, princess?"

Jude: "Also, you did very well in keeping the promise that you made to me. Good girl."

I am not sure if he is aware of my condition or not.

Mr. Jude took another puff off his cigarette and clapped his hands in a mocking manner.

Jude: "Don't you think such a good girl like you deserve a reward for keeping your promise?"

Kate: ".....R-Reward...."

This person is an arrogant, cold-hearted sadist who has no inclination to extend kindness to others.

I should have learned that well today, and yet....I am still tempted to cling to those sweet words.

Kate: "I-I can't stop shaking after all this time...and I-I don't think I can walk now...."

Kate: "Do you mind giving me a minute to calm myself down....?"

Jude: "......Haa..."

Jude: "You are a real pain in the ass."

A long fingertip reached out and poked my forehead.

(Eh....)

At that moment, my consciousness melted away.

I was sucked into a dream.

Jude lets out a single annoyed sigh and picks Kate's unconscious body.

Jude: "Tch....you owe me one for doing this manual labor."

Jude: "Now you know what happens when you make promises too easily."

............

Outside the warehouse, the white moon shines brightly on the blackened nighttime sea.

Jude stared abjectly at the white moonlight.

Jude: "....Tch."

Jude: "You really shouldn't make promises you can't keep."

Story // Premium END // Epilogue

[archerygun]

Guys I’m sorry. A single person asked me to elaborate. I’ve gotta elaborate now. I have permission from an internet stranger. Also, yes, I think I should be locked up and studied for science but exposing my insanity on the internet is the next best thing. @dye-it-rouge-et-noir this one is for you buddy.

This is a follow-up/part 2 post. If you’re seeing this post before part 1, part 1/the context is here = https://www.tumblr.com/archerygun/749484004313579520/alright-i-was-chatting-to-a-friend-about-james?source=share

(Splitting it up into sections because I want to try and contain myself from rambling nonstop for five straight minutes)

DESIGN EXPLANATION/BREAKDOWN

Sean Connery - A friend of mine did most of the design, I added the bottom half, the gun, the colours and a couple of motifs. I chose Thunderball as the film of focus because my friend mentioned his swimsuit was traumatising, and also because it’s the film with the jetpack in it. Generally focused on circular shapes and tear shapes because y’know… water. He’s orange because of the orange swimsuit that my friend called out lmao. And the flower on the neck bow is supposed to look like the one from the iconic white dinner suit that I tend to default to drawing Sean Connery Bond in because when he isn’t in dinner suits his dress sense is generally not as fun as I would like. The gun is based on the one from the James Bond image. You know the one.

I put simultaneously not enough thought and too much thought into this Jesus Christ. I think he’d have some sort of jetpack power-up or something. George Lazenby - He only did one film, so that did limit sources of inspiration. Fortunately, OHMSS is my favourite Bond film because everything about it is earnest and completely insane. I had to include his bowler hat from the intro because it was amazing and not enough Bonds wear hats, so he’d at least look distinctive. It’s set in an icy location for most of it, so that’s where most of the theming came from, the colour, etc; the diamond motif might have suited Sean Connery better all things considered but too late now. I took some costuming inspiration from his kilt outfit because it was strange and iconic and I think all Bonds should be made to wear it. He only really has one promo shot with a gun so I had to give the position of tiny gun guy to George Lazenby. He wields it well.

Roger Moore - I kinda just took the fact that he was the first Bond in space and ran with it. Used stars as a motif, etc. Particular inspiration was taken from this outfit:

And partial inspiration from his weird marine navy commander-style getup (for the shawl thing). It was legitimately way too hard to find a gun that wouldn’t accidentally cross over with a gun from another Bond so I picked the most Seventies gun I could possibly find for inspiration assuming that no other Bonds would ever use something similar. The upper body pose as usual is directly from the reference image. I felt like if I put all the Bonds in skirts, it’d get a bit repetitive and start looking bad, so I figured if any Bond was going to get trousers it would have to be the one that actually wore flares.

CHARACTER EXPLANATION/BREAKDOWN

Basically just how I’d pitch the three Bonds I’ve done so far if they were a group dynamic instead of solo iterations. Gonna do it in bullet points so it’s more comprehensible. (I don’t have any rhyme, reason or lore for this. It’s literally just me assigning three Bonds distinct personalities).

Sean Connery:

The group leader/group elder/tired old man

He can still be a slut if that’s what you want but minus the creepiness. Mutual engagement in passive flings? No problems with that.

Seen so much shit that he’s sorta nonchalant about everything and believes he’s overqualified for just about anything he’s asked to do.

✨War trauma✨

Suaveness and charm level 100. He’s a crabby old man most of the time but he’s so charming that the group let him get away with it.

He’s desensitised to like, literally everything. He will not hesitate to kill a man in cold blood if the situation demands it.

Pretty much believes that human beings are fundamentally bad, himself included.

Ultimately the one that’s willing to make the hard calls.

George Lazenby:

Like his actor before him he is the least qualified and probably lied to get into the secret service.

Optimistic, perceived as naive, ready to try and fight the narrative to change his fate.

The group child (and the youngest).

Quit the secret service after his new wife was assassinated on their wedding day and only comes back because shit has hit the fan (plot reasons. I don’t have a plot, I’m just speaking as if I’m pitching a TV show).

Doomed By The Narrative™️

Ridiculed or forgotten by everyone except the other Bonds

Sean Connery’s Bond respects him a great deal and secretly envies his more idealistic worldview, but won’t let him make the tough calls because he sees him as too naive and too unstable (willing to risk everything)

Roger Moore’s Bond HAS adopted him.

Roger Moore:

Literally feral

Master of British understatement (“Oh. That’s a bit of a shame.” as the world is literally ending around him)

He’s besties with Sean Connery’s Bond as the other sort of group elder

Despite how manic and wired he appears, he is terrifyingly competent and capable of being very serious

Team leader when Connery’s Bond is out of action

Dad figure. Not just to the other Bonds, but as a default personality. He will go parent mode on anyone he thinks he’s capable of saving.

Although if he doesn’t think you’re saveable he will not hesitate to shoot on sight if he runs out of options.

As far as ideas for the other three, Timothy Dalton is going to look evil and edgy but he’s just an enthusiastic dork and Daniel Craig is a stone cold killer with trust issues draped in bright pink bows. I haven’t seen any Pierce Brosnan movies so far so I might just have to vibe check him based on plot synopsis.

Closing thoughts? I want my brain removed and replaced with a better one. I’m sorry for everything you have witnessed today.

Also, these are based exclusively on the movies and not the books. I’m more digging into what makes each actor and era special and distinct.

If you sat through all that, well done, thank you, please don’t report me to the asylum and enjoy this image of Sean Connery.

winterberry for pem and silver?? >:3c

asks that remind me my ocs pinterest boards are entirely out of date lmao

Winterberry - Use one or more photos that encapsulates your OC's clothing style.

Cordelia Pembroke:

dark greens & blacks

elaborate dresses with slim silhouettes (minimal/no petticoats), long sleeves, high collars, wide brim hats

Theodore Pembroke:

still dark greens & blacks

nice waistcoats but otherwise fairly plain, more focus on practicality and movement, often rolls up shirt sleeves, bowler hats

Flint Silverstein:

okay Silverstein's is a lil different but that's because:

he owns one (1) outfit of just a standard 3 piece suit. that's it. that's his whole wardrobe. I hate him /affectionate

what actually influences the Vibes of his clothes the most is the fact that hes over 6ft and fat. the image of waify victorian gentleman does Not fit him

I could ramble for ages about Why they wear what they do but this is already long enough lmao [Update: I was enabled]
