One big complaint I have about Twin Peaks—one of Major Brigg's first major appearances is his given his usual meandering, genial spiels to Bobby, but ending it with him interrupting himself to slap a cigarette out of his son's face, almost trembling while he slowly tells him to respect decorum. And Bobby's mother just looking up at him, plastering on a smile, and talking about how they're there for him. Actively choosing not to acknowledge what the Major just did to his son.
But then none of Brigg's later appearances seem to remember that this is a guy who hits his kid. All his later meandering, genial spiels are just that, and he becomes one of the moral centers of the show. His later tearful conversation with Bobby at the Double R seems to have "they don't have a good relationship" in the background, but from that point forwards he's presented as a completely upstanding father who Bobby only has good things to say about. And you can do that, you can have a kid who eventually concludes that his dad was right to treat him a certain way, or lets himself forget how he was treated—but that's gotta be something the story actually deals with!
And its so weird to have Briggs be presented with such reverence for the rest of the show, when his initial appearance seems so much more in line with its themes. A small town that treasures its unassuming nature, that will ignore the violence that threatens that image, that will certainly pay no mind to the violence needed to enforce it. The major and his wife seem like their set up to mirror the Palmers, the father acting by turns genial and violent to his child, the mother pretending that things aren't as bad as they are. But then all that just gets....dropped.

“the possibility that love is not enough” has to be my favourite Twin Peaks quote.
it is my greatest fear too and i don’t know if it’s enough, but i’d hope it is. i just want to be loved but not to a fault. i need to protect myself and my peace… but i imagine i’d do what’s in my ability to support and care for my partner immensely and unconditionally.

It’s interesting to me how many of the psychics/supernaturally inclined people in Twin Peaks are women, with only a few exceptions (Garland Briggs, Cooper, presumably Margaret’s late husband). Of course they all range in terms of how strong their psychic abilities are, but that seems to be more on an individual basis. I also noticed that Garland and Cooper, two of the only psychics who are men, distinctly lack the toxic masculinity the large majority of their male peers participate in to varying degrees (there are of course exceptions to this but you get my generalizations).

Garland Briggs was justified in his fear. Love is not enough.

Just posted the first chapter of my Silent Hill based on the first game in the series. It also contains ideas, places and characters from the Play Novel version and other games across the series.
It's all written, so I hope to post a chapter every day in this 25th anniversary year of the first game.

Twin Peaks Extended Media
Whether it is for the lack of knowledge in mainstream Twin Peaks spaces regarding them or how some of these things are hard to get, the extended media of Twin Peaks but especially the books are constantly overlooked and ignored for various reasons.
I had done an (incomplete) index of it that blew up in my original account, and I had redone it (but as a more extensive guide that also included the order to watch the show). However, I changed my mind and decided to redo it, since the third time's a charm, right?
Most of these things include spoilers of the three seasons and the movie, so watch and read at your own risk.
AUDIOBOOKS AND COOPER'S TWIN PEAKS TAPES
The audiobooks consist of Laura's diary, the last two books narrated by cast members of the show, while Cooper's tapes were done by Kyle MacLachlan around the time the show was created, and (believe it or not) earned him a Grammy nomination for it.
Laura Palmer’s Diary (narrated by Sheryl Lee).
Diane: The Twin Peaks Tapes by Agent Cooper (narrated by Kyle MacLachlan).
The Secret History of Twin Peaks (narrated by Mark Frost, Len Cariou, Michael Horse, Mat Hostetler, Amy Shiels, Chris Mulkey, David Patrick Kelly, Robert Knepper, Kyle MacLachlan and James Morrison).
The Final Dossier (narrated by Annie Wersching).
BOOKS AND TEXT
Possibly the most overlooked section in Twin Peaks media. Mostly because some fanboys wrongfully think that because David Lynch didn't write them, it doesn't add to the story and canon, which is a wrong thing to say since these books were written by people involved in the show. Especifically, the writers wrote them and were given notes by Frost and Lynch.
The Secret History and The Final Dossier contain spoilers for the three seasons, so read them at your own discretion.
(*) Laura's diary and Cooper's autobiography are the only texts available in Glastonberry Grove. My recommendation is to copy the text and paste it on a google document, since the PDF has the pages ordered in a way you can later print it and build the book on your own.
The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer (written by Jennifer Lynch)*: Laura's diary is written on the day of her 12th birthday, and ends on February the 23rd, 1989. The book (like Cooper's) is very graphic since Laura has to constantly face BOB in her dreams and in real life, and struggles with how others perceive her as well as harm herself in order to avoid BOB hurting the ones she loves. It does not include the missing pages of her diary.
Internet Archive Link
Glastonberry Grove PDF + Text
Twin Peaks: Access Guide to The Town (by Gregg Almquist, Tricia Brock, Robert Engels, Lise Friedman and Harley Peyton with David Lynch, Mark Frost and Richard Saul Wurman): It's the hardest book to get from the books that were released in the nineties. The Access Guide is somewhat of a predecessor of The Secret History, since it includes some of the origins of Twin Peaks. However, the Access Guide also includes newspaper articles, a donuts recipe, and more fun stuff!
Link of the PDF (It won't show a preview because of how heavy the document is, so simply download it)
The Autobiography of Special Agent Dale Cooper: My Life, My Tapes (written by Scott Frost)*: Cooper's autobiography starts in 1967 and ends on February the 24th, 1989. It featured short interviews from Cooper's friends and other people connected to him and transcripts from his tapes. Like Laura's, Cooper experiences tons of horrifying and sad things, from sexual abuse to murder so reader discretion is advised.
Internet Archive Link
Glastonberry Grove PDF + Text
The Secret History of Twin Peaks (written by Mark Frost): A dossier of Garland Briggs that narrates the history of the town as well as the families that ahve stayed there, alongside relationships in the FBI, it includes letters, menus, classified FBI documents, drawings, fragments of books with notes done by Agent Tamara "Tammy" Preston.
Internet Archive link
The Final Dossier (written by Mark Frost): After the events of The Return, Gordon Cole assigns to Tammy the mission to interview people that were missing in The Return (Annie, Audrey, Donna, Harry, etc).
Internet Archive link
Star Pics Cards: A limited edition series of cards done by the writers of the show including the information of most of the characters, items and spaces featured on the first two seasons (With the exception of Denise Bryson).
Glastonberry Grove index
The Music of Twin Peaks introduction: A small text that came with the album "The Music of Twin Peaks", released in 1990.

Twin Peaks scripts: The scripts and transcripts for the first two seasons as well as other texts.

MISCELLANEOUS
Blue Velvet (dir. David Lynch, 1986): Some could say this is the predecessor of Twin Peaks, considering Jeffrey Beaumont (Kyle MacLachlan), Sandy Williams (Laura Dern) and Frank Booth (Dennis Hopper) are considered prototypes for Cooper, Diane and BOB by Dern, Lynch and MacLachlan. Set in a 50s ambiented town in North Carolina in 1984, Blue Velvet is about a 21 year old college dropout named Jeffrey Beaumont who finds an ear on his way home after visiting his hospitalized father. The movie includes three, very graphic scenes, so watch it at your own risk.
Blue Velvet trailer
Internet Archive link
Mulholland Drive (dir. David Lynch, 2001): Originally going to be an Audrey Horne spin-off for TV, Mulholland Drive is considered to be one of the best films done in history and the best of David Lynch's filmography by many alongside Blue Velvet, Fire Walk With Me and Lost Highway. After Rita (Laura Harring) survives a car accident on Mulholland Drive but suffers mass amnesia, she meets a up-and-coming star Diane (Naomi Watts) who's deeply intrigued about Rita's past, and together, try to solve the mystery of her past.
Mulholland Drive Trailer
Wrapped in Plastic Magazine: Released for the first time in October of 1992, Wrapped in Plastic Magazine is the most recognizable out of the Twin Peaks related magazines that exist since the start of the show. The issues include essays, theories and even interviews to the stars as well as issues dedicated to other shows and movies like The X-Files!
MUSIC
Music is also one of the most important things in the show (and also one of the best things), as it sets the mood and the personality of each character without having to say anything.
In Glastonberry Grove, you can find the music notations of Angelo Badalamenti for Laura’s theme, the music from the intro (also known as the Falling instrumental), Into The Night, Falling, Dance of the Dream Man, Audrey’s Dance and more.
Floating Into The Night (All of the songs but Mysteries of Love, I Float Alone, The Swan, Floating and I Remember are featured in the show) by Julee Cruise.
The first season Soundtrack by Angelo Badalamenti
The second season Soundtrack by Angelo Badalamenti (including unreleased tracks!).
The Double R Jukebox playlist I made taken from the Access Guide! It features most of the songs but since some of them aren’t on Spotify, you can also find it here.
The Fire Walk With Me Soundtrack by Angelo Badalamenti, Julee Cruise and David Lynch.
The Return Soundtrack that features bands like Chromatics to singers like Rebekah del Rio and Eddie Vedder, as well as Julee Cruise and Angelo Badalamenti, of course.
PHOTOS, BEHIND THE SCENES AND DELETED SCENES
A Slice of Lynch: David Lynch interviews Kyle Maclachlan, Mädchen Amick and post-production supervisor John Wentworth to discuss about Twin Peaks.
A Talk with Kyle MacLachlan and Sheryl Lee: A preview of an interview Kyle and Sheryl did for the Twin Peaks: From Z to A boxset where they talk about Laura and Cooper.
COOP Visits the set of Twin Peaks: David Lynch, Frank Silva (BOB) and more thank the members of C.O.O.P. for helping save "Twin Peaks" after its close cancellation in 1991.
David Lynch interviews the Palmer family: What it says on the title! Lynch interviews Laura, Leland and Sarah 25 years after Laura's murder. This was done as a way to promote The Missing Pieces DVD, which are the scenes that were cut from Fire Walk With Me.
Fire Walk With Me (+deleted scenes, aka "The Missing Pieces"): The extended version of Fire Walk With Me that features the deleted scenes, considered by many the definitive cut of FWWM.
Fire Walk With Me discussed by David Lynch, Kyle MacLachlan and Sheryl Lee: An interview they did in 2003 where they talk about FWWM.
Georgia Coffee commercials: The Georgia Coffee commercials were a series of ads directed by David Lynch for a Japan only Coca-Cola line of canned coffee featuring Cooper and the police station trying to help a mysterious man named Ken, whose girlfriend is stuck in the Black Lodge.
Invitation to Love: In the show, Lucy, Nadine and other characters are obsessed with an exaggerated soap opera named “Invitation to Love”. You can see the whole show (16 minutes) here! The band Her’s named their album “Invitation To Her’s” after this parody.
Kyle MacLachlan Twin Peaks SNL parody: The Twin Peaks parody Kyle MacLachlan did in the episode he hosted of Saturday Night Live in late 1990.
Making Bets: A deleted scene featuring Cooper and Harry set around season two where they make bets on the Seahawks game.
Meet the Makers: A series of interviews with the writers and crew of Twin Peaks.
Mauve Zone: A photo archive featuring promo photos, Richard Beymer's polaroids, polaroids of the actors on the costume tests, behind the scenes footage of the three seasons and the movie, as well as outtakes, spoofs and deleted scenes.
Scenes Deleted: A YouTube channel who uploaded most of the deleted scenes of the first two seasons.
Twin Peaks: The Return behind the scenes: These were short films filmed by Richard Beymer during the production of the return. Most of them are featured in the DVDs of the complete series, but you can find the following on YouTube:
David Lynch as Gordon Cole
I Had Bad Milk in Dehradun
The Man With the Gray Elevated Hair
The Woodsman

Those in italics have five or more pieces of usable visual, written, or audio propaganda already. If you have any visuals like photos or videos, or if you have something to say in words, submit it to this blog before round one begins on June 25th!
If you don't see a name you submitted here, it's because most or all of their career was as a child/they were too young for the cutoff, their career was almost entirely after 1979, or music was something they only dabbled in and are hardly known for. There are quite a few ladies on the list whose primary career wasn't "recording artist" or "live musician," but released several albums or were in musical theater, so they've been accepted.

wonderfulxstrange exchange time! thank you @countdowntotwinpeaks for organizing this!
here is my fic for @bluerosering
title: I just got your number
word count: 1.1k
phillip jeffries & lucy moran; found footage
[also on ao3]
Due, one assumes, though I can find no record of the initial warrant, to the proximity to Unguin Air Force Base and the newly constructed Listening Post Alpha, the phone line at the Twin Peaks Sheriff Station was tapped in 1983. Coincidentally, this date roughly coincides with the graduation from junior college of one young Lucy Moran. Can you guess where she entered the workforce? 
What follows is a collection of conversations pertinent to our ongoing effort to make sense of the events on and leading up to October 2nd, 2016. I pity the person who initially transcribed these conversations. She—presumably—had the patience of a saint. The problems a small town calls into the non-emergency police line and Lucy’s endless attempts to explain the phone system to her colleagues have a certain quaint charm, but I was endlessly grateful these files were digitized and searchable.
-TP
February 28th, 1989
LUCY MORAN: Twin Peaks Sheriff Station.
(Static)
LUCY: I don’t want to hang up on you, especially if it’s a long distance call. You can tell by the quality of the sound. It goes open and airy. One time my sister traveled all the way to New York City and she forgot her toothbrush so naturally she had to call me and—
(Series of mechanical clunks.)
LUCY: I don’t understand what that’s supposed to mean. I can’t help you if you don’t use words. I’m going to h—“
UNIDENTIFIED MALE WITH SOUTHERN DRAWL: Cooper.
LUCY: I’m sorry, Agent Cooper isn’t here right now. He—
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Cooper.
LUCY: Could you tell me who you are?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: COOPER.
LUCY: You’re not Agent Cooper. You sound nothing like Agent Cooper!
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The owls are not what they seem.
(Call ends.)
March 10th, 1989
LUCY: Twin Peaks Sheriff Station, Lucy Moran speaking.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I’m not gonna talk about Judy.
LUCY: Lucy, not Judy. And you’re talking to me. It would be rude to talk about me, and I’m not sure how that would even work.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It’s dangerous.
LUCY: What’s dangerous? Wait, I recognize your voice. You called here before talking nonsense the night Agent Cooper was shot.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I just got your number. 
LUCY: You’ve called here before!
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Maybe I will.
LUCY: You’re scaring me. I’m hanging up now.
(Call ends.)
March 17th, 1989
LUCY: Twin Peaks Sheriff St—
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I need to speak to Garland Briggs. 
LUCY: This is the sheriff’s station, Major Briggs—
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I need to speak to Garland Briggs.
LUCY: I can’t transfer your call anyway if you won’t tell me who you are.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You haven’t asked.
LUCY: I did. I remember you. I asked you the first time you called here and you wouldn’t tell me.
(Silence)
LUCY: If you're still insisting that hasn’t happened I’m hanging up right now. I have important things to deal with. Growing a whole baby and still having to decide who the father will be is very stressful. 
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: My apologies, ma’am. I was unaware of your predicament. My name is Phillip Jeffries.
LUCY: I don’t know a Phillip Jeffries.
PHILLIP JEFFRIES: I advise you keep it that way.
LUCY: You should stop calling then. 
JEFFRIES: I need to speak to Major Garland Briggs. 
LUCY: I can’t help you. He’s not here.
JEFFRIES: You’re a tough cookie, Lucy Brennan.
LUCY: Moran. It’s Lucy Moran.
(Call ends.)
July 15th, 2002
LUCY: Twin Peaks Sheriff Station.
PHILLIP JEFFRIES: There was a man in Columbia. He was too close.
LUCY: Mr. Jeffries?
JEFFRIES: That wasn’t how it was supposed to go, but it was better than letting things lie. Albert won’t understand.
LUCY: Who are you? Why are you telling me this?
JEFFRIES: I’m Phillip Jeffries, the one and only. Unless there is another. Unnatural. Not occurring in nature. Another.
LUCY: I know your name. I think you’re lonely, but that’s no excuse to talk nonsense.
JEFFRIES: Not nonsense, ma’am. But my perspective lacks context and your perspective lacks context. There are things that cannot be explained, only experienced and communicated obliquely to those who already know.  
(Silence.)
JEFFRIES: I am alone. No one visits me here. Not unless they want something I won’t tell them. Not the people who visit me. 
LUCY: Where are you? Can you leave?
(Mechanical clunking that sounds eerily like a laugh)
JEFFRIES: Room 8.
LUCY: That’s not very helpful.
JEFFRIES: Liberation through Hearing during the Intermediate State
LUCY: Oh, I know that one. I read a book about Tibet because Agent Cooper—that’s not a place. It’s a meditation, I think.
JEFFRIES: You’re right.
LUCY: How can you be in a meditation?
JEFFRIES: I am in all places and no places, accessible only at times of completion. I am where Agent Cooper is yet inaccessible to him. You know Agent Cooper.
LUCY: Yes, but Agent Cooper went missing.
JEFFRIES: Agent Cooper is not missing. He’s lost. But he may find himself. I must prepare for that eventuality.
LUCY: You’re not going to hurt him are you?
JEFFRIES: I’m not gonna do anything to him. Nothing he hasn’t agreed to. (Mechanical clunking.) We had a plan but it’s going wrong. Dweller on the threshold. The fractured self. Unnatural. But we mustn’t lose hope, Lucy Brennan.
LUCY: I am Lucy Brennan. You said that last time when I wasn’t yet. How did you know that would happen?
JEFFRIES: Last time. Time. Now that’s a loaded word. 
LUCY: You’re a very frustrating person to talk to, Mr. Jeffries.
JEFFRIES: It’s my nature now. There are only words for a fraction of the things I want to say.
(Silence.)
JEFFRIES: Beware of Duplicates. Not occurring in nature.
(Call ends.)
September 25th, 2016
LUCY: Twin Peaks Sheriff Station.
JEFFRIES: The pieces wobble but all is not lost. The tipping point will be here soon.
LUCY: Can you stick them to something so they don’t fall over?
(Mechanical clunking.)
JEFFRIES: There’s nothing sticky enough to make this certain. I do my best to keep them steady.
LUCY: (tentatively) Can I help? Usually, I’d get you donuts and coffee but I don’t think I can bring donuts to a place that’s all places and no places.
JEFFRIES: That’s kind of you, Lucy Brennan. He didn’t come through all the way, but his shadow self was not strong enough to stop him completely. Only he can fix it. But we must have everything in place should he succeed. There is a role for you to play, but it would be wrong of me to extract an obligation. Keep your eyes open. You may see something unnatural. When you do, act.
LUCY: I don’t understand.
JEFFRIES: I think you will. 
(Call ends.)
October 2nd, 2016
LUCY (audibly shaken): Twin Peaks Sheriff Station, Lucy speaking.
JEFFRIES: Tell me what happened.
LUCY: I shot him!
JEFFRIES: That’s good. 
LUCY: You’re not going to ask who?
JEFFRIES: I know who. I have one more journey to facilitate. Then my time is done. 
(Mechanical clunking.)
LUCY: Is that a good thing?
JEFFRIES: I think so. Wish me luck. Wish us all luck. 
LUCY: Good luck, Mr. Jeffries 
(Call ends.)
