Oh, what's this, you ask?

Oh, it's nothing...

JUST THE ENTIRETY OF FOLLOWING THE BEAST'S DIALOGUE WRITTEN DOWN WITH QUILL AND INK.

You know. Something that doesn't make me look like an insane woman. With no obsession whatsoever with Footloose's works.

Reminds me of that time I had a vivid and hyper realistic dream of my favourite Merthur fanfic being made into a gritty low budget movie. I woke up and I was legitimately convinced for a while it existed so I had to look it up on YouTube to confirm that it indeed never existed.

Needless to say I was heartbroken

Last night I dreamed about BBC Merlin fanart. Like, the really good stuff with the detailed clothes and fine lineart and light coloring (you can tell it's not mine because I do contrast colors only, r.i.p. I think it was more like lao-pendragon style) and apparently it was a whole MANGA that you could BUY and it was originally in French but had translations.

And like...

There are times I wish dreams would come to life, you know?

Doctor Who: The Impossible Planet & The Satan Pit / The Legend of Ruby Sunday

[fantastic-nonsense]

fun fact: today most people probably think that calling the nameless protagonist of a Beauty and the Beast adaptation 'Belle' comes from the Disney movie, but it actually happens because the 1946 movie by Jean Cocteau was so beloved and influential everyone else just carried it forward

Okay if Dead Shot Colin Morgan reminded me of Following the Beast Merlin, The Killing Kind Colin Morgan reminds me of All The Dead Are Here Merlin.

Again, I don't have a problem.

I'm perfectly normal

the killing kind, starring colin morgan as john webster, premieres september 7th on paramount+ uk

Pictures of Colin Morgan in Dead Shot that remind me of Merlin from Following the Beast

Ever since the trailer came out I felt like Colin in this film looks exactly like I imagined Merlin to be in Footloose's Following the Beast, so here's a list of screenshots to prove my point. Long post ahead get ready everyone.

These just give the general vibe:

But also: Alcohol in a cluttered flat:

The very first scene - nay! SENTENCE! Merlin getting strangled after being knocked off his feet (by a tentacle, not a shoe, still counts):

Then later on, when he's about to pass out in the middle of a cross-walk (Lovely spot, btw):

Going to the pub with Mordred following him:

Merlin getting into the cab to take Arthur home:

And, of course, the ✨✨flick✨✨

"What flick?" you may ask, "What are you talking about!? WHY ARE YOU IN MY HOUS-" Those are all good questions. THIS flick, of course:

"A flick of the collar stopped the drizzling rain from dripping down the back of his neck"

(If i knew how to make gifs I'd show you that this is in fact, a flick, but you'll have to trust me on this one: he just flicked up the collar.)

Merlin in the warehouse at Mary's shop:

Being a nameless pervy blighter at Arthur's School (thank you, Tommy):

(The kids would be older, the bars would be higher, and the older kids would also, coincidentally, be higher, but it still works)

Confronting Kilgarrah:

Confronting George, and being shocked that this guy doesn't giveth a fucketh about Merlin's orders:

Merlin being told by Mordred that he is in love (there was a moment where he looked more shocked here, but I couldn't get the right frame):

The next part of that scene, where Merlin gets up after his magic finished healing him and tells Mordred about the trackers he placed (oh look, Mordred is even the same guy as before):

Getting in the car with Arthur's friends, Nephilim, allies, men to go save his ass:

Mordred getting Merlin home after he drank himself stupid (Imagine him a bit more unstable... also look!! Same guy once again!)

On the ground during his fight with Morgause:

Ok so picture him naked and with water all over the floor and this is him after the bath exploded after seeing the future:

Ritual preparations:

In the courtyard, during Uther's speech, looking for who is going to try to kill Arthur in the crowd: (he should be better dressed at this point I think but i don't care just- stick with me here)

How I imagine him to look like after he found Arthur after having killed Morgause and Arthur confronted Morgana alone:

Merlin walking towards Nimueh's house to rescue Leon (just imagine it's raining):

Merlin watching Arthur coming out of Nimueh's home covered in blood and gore, having the only rational reaction in that situation which is, obviously, falling harder and finding the whole thing quite attractive, actually:

Sadly, there is no kiss between Arthur and Merlin given the fact that Bradley wasn't in the film and this is not, in fact, the Following the Beast movie, even though I might have convinced you with these photos and captions. I am sure that someone who has read it had some influence on the look, I swear to God. Btw this is completely how I picture the fic to look like, so maybe I am 100% off and this was all useless.

Also, this dude right here IS Kilgarrah. I swear, they play the same role! If you'll watch the movie you'll know what I mean. And Colin kills him towards the end, which is sorta kinda what happens in the fic... but not really, but TBF it is sort of hinted that Merlin will make the lizard pay for all the bullshit, so really that's the same.

So, I hope I have proved my point today, and also showed once again how unhinged I am about this fic. (or any of footloose's stories, but that's not what this post is about) It's unhealthy.

This post took a while, and it's for the very small demographic of people who happened to watch the film and also read Following the Beast, so some would say that it's a "waste of time" and "you should be studying" and "don't you have four exams in like 5 weeks?", but I would call them haters. So yeah

also, I found this review of the movie:

Really? IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER? Are you kidding me? I know this guy is mentioning a completely different movie, but I'm losing my mind That's all I had to say, so byyyyeee to all of the maybe 2 people who read through all of this.

[thekittyokat]

you ever just have a lot, a LOT of feelings all at once about a character and not even remotely enough words or brainpower to FORM the words to describe everything you're feeling. so it feels like you may explode. yeah

It was always going to be like this. (IAC pt.8) ((First/Prev/Next))

[ID: A Scum Villain Comic. Panel one depicts Luo Binghe having been stabbed in the abdomen by Xiu Ya/SJ!Shen Qingqiu. LBH's arms are slightly raised in surprise. It then shows SQQ with an angered expression, his arm slightly swinging down as if retracting his sword and saying "No. I was right! You. Are nothing but a little BEAST." LBH reels back with a shocked and hurt expression at his words as his hands have raised to cover the wound in his abdomen.

Panel two depicts SQQ pushing his other hand outward with a qi blast towards LBH, as his other hand has pulled back with a now bloodied sword. Wtih a determined expression SQQ states "Now go where you belong." To which LBH raising one hand up as if to defend himself in horror replies in a small voice "Wait-" It then cuts to a view of the ends of SQQ's robes and LBH's left hand reaching upwards as he falls backwards into the Endless Abyss.

Panel three shows how LBH's hand/arm is suddenly grabbed by Gongyi Xiao. Chibi!LBH looks up in concerned surprise, saying "Gongyi-?" GYX now reaching down with both arms with a concerned and frightened expression yells "Hold on Shidi!"

The final panel first depicts all characters in a chibi style. A cracking noise is shown that causes GYX to stumble downwards with a surprised expression going "Wh-" before both him and LBH fall into the Abyss. Wtih GYX still holding onto LBH's arm and LBH looking up towards him in horror as bits of rubble from the cliff face fall behind them. End ID]
