Who Framed Roger Rabbit AU

Eddie- Eugene

His brother- Lance

Dolores- Rapunzel

Roger Rabbit- Hugo

Jessica Rabbit- Varian

Judge Doom- idk, Nigel? Andrew? Any villain could work honestly

[crystalskyz]

I want to sleep, but at the same time I have a very strong urge to draw Hugo

[seahdalune]

No but seriously imagine it:

You're seeing scarlett and the shakers on a concert. Everyone is having a great time. Scarlett and the shakers seem a little excited. "We have a surprise for you guys." Scarlett says. All of a sudden DB come out and start singing "this is grōōvstock." When Orion gets to the chorus, someone else starts singing... "When I was a young boy my uncle left me in the pizzeria to be a chef." Lights flash everywhere, and you see SATS singing "this is grōōvstock" along with DB, while TRFQ is singing "Black prosciutto". Everyone in the crowd is going wild and crying. Then if things couldn't get any better, Chuck and Taylor walk onto stage and kiss, holding the gay flag.

[rosedhall]

wip, SOMEONE GET HER OUT

[nart-is-a-monster]

This is the process‼️

the actual final thing is here 😺

this fucKing bass

Aaaaaallsooooooo

All this text is made with the tool that transforms your voice and whatever you're saying into text so don't expect this to have sense in too many ways okay?

Okay so this is part of the process that I end up making cuz there was a bunch of trial and error in this process because whenever I was doing like the front the front the front and the thing I was getting a little bit confused cuz I was having too many ideas at once and it didn't work out as you think it will but at the end I end up like merging some of those ideas into one and end up looking pretty good that this is the stupidest sketch of how it was looking at the beginning in the terms of the title and stuff

Now the bass that instrument took so long to get it right cuz listen I end up studying technical draw in architecture and if I see something that doesn't have the right perspective I'm killing myself

So of course I was going to get into technical details with creating or drawing the bass

And also in the first parts you can kind of see how it was at the beginning like the colors and stuff trial and error yada yada yada

And I end up making some color arrangements cuz I want this to be bright and stuff and I didn't want this to be pale or look a little bit weird I wanted to have the right contrast

And also talking about contrast you can see the pictures in black and white that's because I wanted to get rid of the contrast and I didn't want something to not pop up right using the wrong colors so that's why there's black and white pictures yes

And also as I know that @aziraphalesbookkeeper favorite color is green cuz I asked that in the ask box I end up placing a bunch of green and several places in the complete piece or the complete render

And also yes the thing that Google was wearing it was going to have some pins with like some flags or whatever and that didn't make up to the end because I was tired and I was lazy and I didn't want to do more things in the jacket

:b

In for the boots I end up searching on Pinterest several things regarding I don't know ehhh Punk boots or something like that and at the end of the day I end up just getting in genshin to look at my wriottesley and admire or have a treaty view of some boots that are similar to the things that I wanted to draw

And also talking about the boots yeah there is not that many things on the boots and I end up getting lazy and tired of drawing details on the boots but it wasn't worth it at the end of the day

And also in the part of Hugo's pants I was thinking into creating like this patches that punk pants end up having with some band names or something embroidered into them cuz that looks cool and I think it matches his personality in some sort of way and I kind of did that it doesn't look that much in contrast with they're saying something his pants but they're there and that's what it matters

I tried okay I tried

Also another little detail in the part of the front I was just searching for several inspiration on rock or metal covers for albums and stuff and I didn't find much of inspiration into that but then I look into some posters and stuff like that and that was just a boost of inspiration and that's why the fronts in the thing end up going from whatever you see on that thing that has like pngs of a scrap of papers and something is already in some kind of text of a chat cuz I remember that in the story both of them end up talking on chat and stuff

On my head it was looking right but then I put it into the actual canvas and it was looking like shit to me so that idea was a scratched and he didn't make it up to the end hehe

And I think that settled it and that's it basically for all maybe I will read all this shit later and find out something that I missed but that's it

:b

Im so sorry the ML fandom has been treating you so badly, you deserve much better

Thank you

It was weird though, because out of nowhere my ML art started getting notes and some asshole started spamming my inbox with "draw hugo, emma and louis with Marinette" over and over as it i was some kind of slave???

My blog has never EVER been one fandom only. My first post here was about HTTYD, then i have been jumping over and over

I don't know what kind of entitlement the ML fandom has about artists that think they can demand art from us and if it's not a 10 long page comic with a funny joke by the end of it, you dont get traction either way.

And i have never said anything about the asks demanding me to read Lady Scarlet or Buggachat's comics. I have respect for the artists but i got tired of those ask as well, and i had some instance in someone tagging my art as it if was Bugga's. You know how hurt i was that moment? And no, i dont blame Bugga, but the fans that put artists in a pedestal thinking any fan thingy is better than the original show, something even Bugga has said they dont like at all.

But the fandom doesnt listen, they just want their joke, their shitpost being made, instead of being a community. We used to be, i remember the days when we waited patiently for fans to translate every Sunday all the episode in french, we made chain posts with characters in our style, the drawing pile of Adrienette sleeping, the Break Dance AU that was such a hit!!

But now? It's just fans wanting their fanservice, how much they can complain and how much they can spoil stuff. And it has tired me. And im... pissed and sad that the new fans wont ever get to enjoy that.

I want to come back, but not like this. I don't want to be bitter because i still love the show. And until the fandom gets better im going to stay away.

I do not have much umm. Basic swap au where Juanín swaps with Tulio, bodoque with amapola, patana with Mario hugo, yeah you get it

Copy and pasting a basic explanation I made:

Amapola likes nature and gambling except more and is more okay with murder than usual. Bodoque is slightly more normal. Slightly. More focused on nature environmentalism but still struggles with being competitive with gambling. Will kill people that aren't environmentally friendly. Amapola would host the Nota verde this time. She and juanin are wlw/mlm solidarity/hostility. Theyre friends and work together but Amapola gets sick of his shit sometimes. She smokes too and is miserable like bodoque. More jaded too. Juanin is popular and rich and has gained more confidence than his regular self. Og juanin has had mean moments but he was too unconfident to have more of them. This juanin is more comfortable being mean/passive aggressive bc he can get away with it. He prides himself in being cute and his appearance. He gets away with being mean bc he's a cutie. Tulio is in og Juanin's role. He's fucking tired and does everything. He's still tulio so he'll half ass shit if he can. He's not as confident as his og self. He copes with a big ego except its more covert. More self conscious and wishes to be the star of the show. He gets annoyed with juanin but still has a toxic friendship with him + a suck up. Patana is more quieter like Mario Hugo, still does her work well and hosts his segment instead. Cares about birds a lot and shouts them out, they also have silly names. She is Tulio's long lost niece and has Mario Hugo's backstory. Birds can be seen on her often. She has them trained too. Mario Hugo is more confident and tries his best in his work. Good at interviews and very kind. Resident sweet guy. Tries his best to keep things on track but isn't taken seriously, especially as a small guy. Underestimated even though he's very capable. Has his own weirdos club. I think it'd be nice if he was also into dolls like og Patana, just more secretive about it. Can't think of more but I'll probably draw more of this and expand on it

Perry, Florida. 'The eye was in the tomb and stared at Cain' (Victor Hugo)

Perry in the eye of the hurricane. Hurricane Helene made landfall near Perry, Florida as a Category 4 storm with 140 mph sustained winds and higher gusts.

Stay strong, Perry! ♡

Ethel Cain was born in Tallahassee, Florida, and was raised in Perry, Florida.

Victor Hugo:

'The Eye was in the tomb and fixed on Cain.’

'Then, with his children, clothed in skins of brutes, Dishevelled, livid, rushing through the storm, Cain fled before Jehovah. As night fell The dark man reached a mount in a great plain, And his tired wife and his sons, out of breath, Said: “Let us lie down on the earth and sleep.” Cain, sleeping not, dreamed at the mountain foot. Raising his head, in that funereal heaven He saw an eye, a great eye, in the night Open, and staring at him in the gloom. “I am too near,” he said, and tremblingly woke up His sleeping sons again, and his tired wife, And fled through space and darkness. Thirty days He went, and thirty nights, nor looked behind; Pale, silent, watchful, shaking at each sound; No rest, no sleep, till he attained the strand Where the sea washes that which since was Asshur. “Here pause,” he said, “for this place is secure; Here may we rest, for this is the world’s end.” And he sat down; when, lo! in the sad sky, The selfsame Eye on the horizon’s verge, And the wretch shook as in an ague fit. “Hide me!” he cried; and all his watchful sons, Their finger on their lip, stared at their sire. Cain said to Jabal (father of them that dwell In tents): “Spread here the curtain of thy tent,” And they spread wide the floating canvas roof, And made it fast and fixed it down with lead. “You see naught now,” said Zillah then, fair child The daughter of his eldest, sweet as day. But Cain replied, “That Eye–I see it still.” And Jubal cried (the father of all those That handle harp and organ): “I will build A sanctuary;” and he made a wall of bronze, And set his sire behind it. But Cain moaned, “That Eye is glaring at me ever.” Henoch cried: “Then must we make a circle vast of towers, So terrible that nothing dare draw near; Build we a city with a citadel; Build we a city high and close it fast.” Then Tubal Cain (instructor of all them That work in brass and iron) built a tower– Enormous, superhuman. While he wrought, His fiery brothers from the plain around Hunted the sons of Enoch and of Seth; They plucked the eyes out of whoever passed, And hurled at even arrows to the stars. They set strong granite for the canvas wall, And every block was clamped with iron chains. It seemed a city made for hell. Its towers, With their huge masses made night in the land. The walls were thick as mountains. On the door They graved: “Let not God enter here.” This done, And having finished to cement and build In a stone tower, they set him in the midst. To him, still dark and haggard, “Oh, my sire, Is the Eye gone?” quoth Zillah tremblingly. But Cain replied: “Nay, it is even there.” Then added: “I will live beneath the earth, As a lone man within his sepulchre. I will see nothing; will be seen of none.” They digged a trench, and Cain said: “'Tis enow,” As he went down alone into the vault; But when he sat, so ghost-like, in his chair, And they had closed the dungeon o'er his head, The Eye was in the tomb and fixed on Cain.’

Victor Hugo

Translated from the French by Dublin University Magazine

Fernand Cormon: Caïn, 1880

Ethel Cain: Perry

'Days fly by spent wasting time in my mother's garden green My sister's speaking no poetry they've memorized never knowing what it means I could stay outside forever counting stars on summer fields fore' I bike to Dowling street It's simple when it's over and i'm happy

18 murals on the side but it's downtown in the scorching sun I tried all summer but I hated the way it looks so I never got it done I walked the train tracks with a boy that I loved but turns out I was tired of being alone So when we reached the end and I said goodbye and I was by myself when I got home'

at the roots of Ethel Cain's musical soul: singing from Perry First Church of God, Perry, Florida:

[dolphin1812]

Hugo’s framing of the sewers as ancient and irrational, drawing both on facts – they date back to before the 19th century – and notions of Progress that contrast “modern” Europe with its past and “the Orient.” Such stereotypes play into Orientalism, as we’ve seen before with Hugo’s arguments about Progress, so this isn’t entirely new.

Much of this section takes me back to Patron Minette, with the idea of a darker, “unenlighted” Paris underneath the surface. This paragraph in particular wouldn’t have been out of place there:

“The sewer of Paris has been an ancient and formidable thing. It has been a sepulchre, it has served as an asylum. Crime, intelligence, social protest, liberty of conscience, thought, theft, all that human laws persecute or have persecuted, is hidden in that hole; the maillotins in the fourteenth century, the tire-laine of the fifteenth, the Huguenots in the sixteenth, Morin’s illuminated in the seventeenth, the chauffeurs [brigands] in the eighteenth. A hundred years ago, the nocturnal blow of the dagger emerged thence, the pickpocket in danger slipped thither; the forest had its cave, Paris had its sewer. Vagrancy, that Gallic picareria, accepted the sewer as the adjunct of the Cour des Miracles, and at evening, it returned thither, fierce and sly, through the Maubuée outlet, as into a bed-chamber.”

The sewer is a vector for crime, yet it’s also a vessel for change, thus containing a glimmer of hope not found in Patron Minette’s depths. The sewer is almost religiously framed in how truthful it is, with Hugo linking it to a “confession.” That term, though, also suggests that it’s honest about society’s sins, once again emphasizing that the sewer is a mirror to social ills like the waste of the poor. 

Also: “A sewer is a cynic. It tells everything.”

I can’t read “cynic” without thinking of Grantaire, especially as this section comes so soon after his death. In “telling everything,” the sewer may be as incomprehensible as Grantaire’s speeches, but it’s also not useless. Grantaire reached for change with his death, so the sewer can’t be dismissed, either.

I unfortunately don’t know all the historical references here, but they generally serve to confirm the tumultuous history of the sewers.

My thoughts and highlights on A Plague Tale: Tenebris:

Hugo doesn't know the difference between the role of a mother and sister in his life is a fair but sad point in the story (especially for Amicia who had her childhood taken away)

Beatrice is almost always right, but is terrible at making her points and comes across as an evil witch. Hot take: The woman has never done anything wrong in her life, she just has very poor communication skills 😂

I need to draw Hugo and Brume at some point because the idea of them is just too cute to stop myself ❤️

There are at least 3 good little moments between Beatrice and Amicia that sell me the mother/daughter relationship well, even in conflict, and I wish Requiem had at least one moment like that 🥺

Of all the masters Lucas had: Laurentius taught him the curiosity and discipline of learning; Beatrice taught him to trust his instincts and have the guts to defend his own theories; but André was the one who showed him that none of that matters if he doesn't put it to use to help others and - while Lucas was always a good person - he still needed to learn how to direct that goodness into action and seeing a person as a person, with feelings and that needs more than his systematic help. I believe it's because of what André taught him that Lucas became our golden boy in Requiem 🥰

Amicia getting annoyed when Beatrice treats her and Lucas like kids is great! This shows that the girl sees him as an equal, someone she can trust and have by her side in moments of crisis. The funny part is they met a bunch of kids and she still saw them as kids, even the older ones. But Lucas? Amicia doesn't even consider him an apprentice anymore and gets offended when someone offends him (soulmates behavior ✨)

The little interactions between Lucas and Amicia it's a whole meal for my ship heart 🥰. It's something about the respect between them. The way they care and support each other. And how relieved they feel to know that the other is okay. It's a special bond that makes me so happy and I can't compare it to anything else in this franchise.

The writer missed the opportunity to have Amicia hit Aurele straight in the head with a rock only for him to survive and she be like "oh no, this new sling doesn't have any upgrades 😯"

I wish Aurele and Milo were combined into one character. Both are minor religious fanatics villains with a lot of potential, but no enough time to develop that well. Adapting and mixing their story in some way could work. Just imagine Aurele/Milo survives Tenebris and appears in Requiem and Amicia comment "oh that's the guy who hunted us in Guyenne". Fans more attentive to the ending of Innocence would make the connection, those who read the book would have more context, and the character would feels more fresh and complex. Just a wishful thought, of course, they still good for small villains.

Tenebris made me realize that Amicia's plan at the end of Requiem to go live isolated in the mountains would be completely impractical. I can even imagine Hugo in his teens getting tired of living there with just trees and goats and eventually having another breakdown causing more disasters.

I know I probably missed a lot of details in the translation, but I started reading this just because I wanted more Plague Tale and, as a whole, that's exactly what I got with Tenebris.

I wouldn't be against it if they decided to do another book with a story about what happened after Requiem.

Yeah, give me Amicia and Sophia traveling on a boat bumping into Lucas and André somewhere and end up having to unravel the mystery of some cult recreating Vitalis' white rats.

(Oh, or maybe I'll just write a fanfic about it 👀)

[antiquepearlss]

haiii hallooo helloooo heyeyeyeyy

jumping and waving at you

im gonna cook with some of these fall asks but ive been really busy with life this week(and being tired...) so this isnt my best ask ever

but your input will help if i ever decide to draw some halloween art of the tts cast(+hugo)(maybe)

what do u think the characters would wear on halloween, like to trick or treat(or wear for the vibes)

raps & eugene always match(sometimes if rapunzel can persuade her, cassie will match too), same w hugo and varian, but all of them dont go trick-or-treating, usually they stay home and give out candy or go to raps' party lol(or both depending on how theyre feelinh yk). when theyve done the trio, i cant stop thinking about cass, eugene, and raps beinh the mean girls trio... like regina, karen, and gretchen😭🙏 and hugo and varian have probably done nerdy ones(or, hear me out, seymore & audrey || from little shop of horrors)

catalina is a werewolf every year/j

frs, lance & the girls probably go as a big trio, or the girls do completely different costumes and lance just wears a funny halloween shirt(or dresses up as a character he likes), kiera has been a ninja turtle at least once(i feel like shed like tmnt idk...) and catalina was batman one year and everyone kept complementing her

this is not my best... but like please give me ideas bcuz i need to draw something for halloween with this group and i need opinions please im begging and pleadinh on my hands and knees

(while writinh that i tjought abt rapunzel & eugene beinh on of the couples from bridgerton and i think taht would be so cute what...)

Heyy hello hi im jumping back at you but then I trip over my ankles and fall.

(and shush I love your headcanons and asks)

Yes absolutely Rapunzel and Eugene always do cutesy couples costumes, and she makes them herself so they’re always high quality and perfect. She posts them on insta and everyone is jealous. (They absolutely did do Bridgerton one year and she looked like a goddess.) Maybe I’m just a big nerd, but I feel like they’d do a lot of historical couples costumes. They definitely did Hades and Persephone one year.

(They also did this)

I honestly can’t see Varian being the type to dress up unless he’s forced (by Rapunzel), same with Hugo. But sometimes they’ll do half-assed couples costumes if they go to Rapunzel’s party. It’s usually just a thrift store cosplay lmao. One year they did Gatsby and Daisy because the guy who plays Gatsby on Broadway sounds a lot like Varian for some reason…. Varian probably dressed up as a bunch of scientists barely anyone even knows of as a kid, though. (I feel like it would be really funny if New Dream and Varigo dressed as eachother one year hehe.)

Lance, I think he either just wears a Halloween t-shirt or he coordinates costumes with the girls, because I feel like they’d want to match sometimes. And if not, maybe he just puts on a fun mask. I feel like he goes all out for Raps’ parties though. He definitely has dressed as David Bowie on multiple separate occasions.

Cat absolutely went through a wolf phase. And did dress up as a wolf, a lot. Kiera dressed as a vampire one year to match her.

Cass doesn’t dress up unless she’s forced both mentally and physically. (She dressed up as Joan Of Arc for three straight Halloweens as a kid. And then Artemis for another three.)

[prestonmonterey]

hypothetically

if i were to

draw somethin for a friends birthday

...?

idk im too tired to have good ideas

i was thinkin maybe varigo or fem hugo but i also draw them like literally (figuratively) every day soooooo

Villareal Household: Chapter 3, Part 5

Baby shower time!

Luna takes some time to admire her baby bump in the mirror. It's bizarre to think two tiny lives are coexisting inside her. She does a quick costume change before the baby shower starts and takes some time to cuddle with Devin.

Luna: All friends?

Devin: Friends, family, no enemies

Luna: Perfect

The guests arrive and the baby shower can begin. We have Luna's brothers Hugo, Max, and Max's new wife Miriam. Devin's parents Calista and Aaron, as well as siblings Joey, Kelly, Deanna, and her girlfriend Paris. Old friends Charlie and Cassandra are invited with their spouses Kaori and Rahul.

Miriam: We missed you at Jacques funeral

Luna: I didn't want to go and pretend to grieve

Miriam: I get it, he was a jerk to Max too. Oh, I got you a gift

Luna: Really?

Miriam: Something small

Luna: Blocks. Thank you

Miriam: Just one set but they can share right

Luna: I'm sure they will

Paris: Babe those clothes look so good on you

Deanna: Thank you for helping pick them, I do not get fashion

Paris: You're better than you think

Joey: Get a room you two

Deanna: Not everything is about woohoo

Joey: Is in my world

Paris: TMI

Joey: *chuckles*

Deanna: Ignore him

Aaron: Kelly, what are you wearing?

Kelly: I found a towel, bite me pa

Calista: That boy

Luna: Want to say hi to my boys?

Aaron: Hello bambinos

Calista: You finding the pregnancy okay

Devin: She's been a bit nauseous

Calista: Oh honey that happens

Aaron: Must you be playing classical music

Max: So hear me out, name the cute one Max and the ugly one Hugo

Luna: And I'm taking advice from the guy wearing sunglasses inside because-

Max: Devin has sunglasses on

Luna: As an accessory, not covering her eyes

Ma: Whatever, I'm into the dark, helps me stay evil

Luna: If you say so

Calista: And how are you coping with your twins

Cassandra: Alright but they're going to be infants soon, I'm worried how we'll manage getting their milestones

Devin: It can't be that hard right

Cassandra: Just you wait

Devin: Kelly will you PLEASE put some clothes on

Kelly: Bite me sis, I'm comfy

Charlie: Clearly you plan on them being well educated

Luna: I would like them to be but who knows

Kaori: Just don't force them to go to university

Hugo: My sis is great at listening, she'll know what they want

Charlie: Thanks for the snacks

Luna: I don't want sims starving on my watch

At last the party draws to a close and everyone heads home in the rain.

Devin: You doing okay Lu?

Luna: I'm quite tired

Devin: Quick nap?

Luna: I do love cuddling

Devin: Come here, snuggle close

The two have a quick bit of shut eye. There is some clipping but I think Luna changed trimesters mid nap

Luna: We got gold for the party

Devin: Yes indeed, did you expect us to get any less

Luna pulls Devin into a passionate embrace

Devin: Woah, careful, you're pregnant

Luna: Pregnant sims can still kiss

Devin: Yes you can but mmm, maybe go easy on the dips

Luna: I'm just showing my soulmate I love her

Devin: *giggles*

Luna: Oh! That was a kick

Devin: Hello in there, maybe consider not attacking the body that's busy nurturing you

Luna: Don't scold them before they're even born

Devin: I take it back, clearly your mummy is a sucker for pain

Luna: *laughs*

Devin: Mwah! Kisses for you both

The Villareal rotation is finished. I've paused Luna's pregnancy so you may see her waddling around in the background of other storylines as she will be stuck in her third trimester until I play their household again. Do I have the weird urge to apologise to her for the discomfort? Yep

Previous Part ... Next Part (Chopra)

Long-Running Panel Show Friday: February 17, 2023

The News Quiz: This felt like a very old school episode; Hugo Rifkind, Angela Barnes, Zoe Lyons, Nish Kumar, and Andy Zaltzman were all people you’d expect to see in any given episode of the Miles Jupp era. They even threw in a Sandi Toksvig reference at one point. Aside from old school News Quiz, the Nish-Andy dynamic made it feel a little Bugle-like at times. And Angela Barnes throwing out whatever topical one-liners she’s come up with about the last few days, and then defending them when other panelists are surprised by her take, felt like Mock the Week.

As much as I liked this lineup, it did seem like a shame that they had their all-Scottish lineup last well, leaving an all-English one this week to discuss Nicola Sturgeon. It was nice, though. The Corbyn discussion was a bit contentious, and reminded me that that’s the one subject on which I don’t always love Hugo Rifkind’s perspective, but I see his points. There were a couple of particularly nuanced issues on the agenda this week, and I think the people they had were good ones for that.

QI: This is the second time in a couple of months that Ahir Shah has been the highlight of a panel show episode for me, the first being Catsdown. And that is impressive, because Rosie Jones is always great on panel shows and was on top form this episode. I’d really say Ahir Shah and Rosie Jones were competing to be the highlight of this episode, and being on the same side of the table made them both better. They paired really well, 40 minutes was not nearly enough for me to get tired of the way Rosie Jones would say something vaguely shocking, usually for a combination of being filthy and non-sensical, and he’d look at her incredulously.

Honestly thought, I’ve liked Ahir Shah for a while but I think this episode cumulates with a few other things to make him one of my favourite current panel show people. I think he’s one who got especially fucked over by the cancelation of Mock the Week; he’d just started to establish his status as a regular on there, and should have had more seasons to keep that up. But he’s been really good when I’ve seen him on other things. He has this sort of self-loathing cynicism about him that I really like (this is the sort of thing that highlights the clear distinction between self-loathing in comedy and self-deprecation, as Ahir Shah’s style is clearly the former), that feels like an undertone even when he’s on QI just talking about teaspoons. QI’s a good format for him, as it gives him some opportunities to show off his extensive knowledge, after running it through a lens of cynicism. Throw in a penchant for getting annoyed about things around him, and a competitive streak when it comes to points, and he is also working his way quickly onto my list of dream Taskmaster contestants. Incidentally, his stand-up special Dots is very good and everyone should watch it.

Would I Lie to You: Anything with Desiree Burch and Lucy Beamont is a strong lineup, and they were both great on this, but I felt like this episode was another one where Lee and David really carried it. They can set each other up so well, but also surprise each other, and have so many years of history to reference and draw on, that has comedy chemistry down to perfection. I think it’s been really strong all season, even more than the previous couple of seasons.

Having said that, Desiree Burch and Lucy Beaumont did not disappoint. I’ve always thought Jon Richardson pairs very well with Lee Mack on panel shows, and it turns out his wife does that almost as well. Lucy’s ability to crack Lee up was a delight to watch every time. Also, she is really good at playing her ditzy persona. Really good. That persona was perfect for WILTY, where all she had to do to get away with stuff was make people believe she’s really like that. Which worked on me repeatedly, even though I’ve seen enough of her to know how her persona works, and that would be why I finished with a terrible 2-3 record in the guessing. In my defence, I thought her story about the neighbour and the chicken couldn’t be true, because why would they have not used it on Meet the Richardsons?

I guessed correctly on Desiree for the opposite reason, actually. Desiree told her lie really, really well, but I also know she’s ridiculously intelligent, and was pretty sure she’d be able to come up with a lie that good, that fast.

It was the only one I got right aside from the last one, which was just a free point because obviously David was lying. That was a clear case of something that often gets overlooked on this show, which is the fact that the people on it are famous. A lot of these fake scenarios would not happen this way to a famous person. I remember one David story from an early-ish season, that involved him getting stuck on a diving board like Mr. Bean for a long time. They argued about it for so long, until finally a guest pointed out that if David Mitchell were stuck on a board in a pool full of witnesses, someone would have filmed that shit and put it on YouTube. So of course it was a lie. Similarly, if a restaurant had David Mitchell as a regular and he agreed to let them name a meal after him, they wouldn’t leave out the name “Mitchell”, missing out on the obvious marketing opportunity.

Anyway. I might be getting a bit too caught up in my own game with this show, and that isn’t supposed to be the point. It was a bad episode for my guessing, but a really good actual episode of television. Great back-and-forth among the regulars, great guests, great chemistry between guests and regulars. I’d happily watch many more episodes with this lineup.

And that’s it. No Last Leg this week, due to the Channel 4 comedy awards. Where, on the subject of what I just described, they agreed with me about Lee Mack still being excellent on Would I Lie to You, even after all this time. A bunch of those results were interesting. I mean, some were obvious. I recently made a Tumblr poll to find out people’s favourite panel shows, and I left Taskmaster off it because if you include Taskmaster, there’s basically no contest. Taskmaster just wins every time (seriously though, good for Alex Horne and everyone else). Though actually, they had Taskmaster in the entertainment category, meaning their panel show category did excluse Taskmaster, and Catsdown won. Though actually, according to the much more scientific poll on my Tumblr blog, that should have gone to WILTY.

My main takeaway from reading the list of winners is I was pleased to see Joe Lycett’s latest stand-up show got an award, given that it’s absolutely excellent and everyone should watch it.

Hey gorgeous, how you doing? ;]

🎵🌸📖🌈🐉🫣😍💥🫵🫴 a VitaliTheo doodle for the last one

That’s so many bro. I’m very happy don’t get me wrong but damn

🎵- You might’ve heard this one before but

🌸- Blue hydrangea be upon ye

📖- Seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo. Seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo. 100% I’ve read that book twice and it was better the second time. Such a good book. I already have it on hold for a third time. It’s captivating the second I pick it up I never wanna put it back down. I love that book so much

🌈- Either blood red or dark green

🐉- Sirens sirens sirens. Close second would be dragons. But SIRENS. They’re so interesting

🫣- Man idk I’m gonna give you the first thing off my head cause I’m really tired. My mom made me cry at Monopoly when I was 5. She plays really strategically and she gave me a really bad deal cause she knew I’d take it (I was FIVE at the time) and I broke down crying. She won that Monopoly game but at what cost.

😍- Mhmmm lemme think. Ellie Williams prolly

💥- Hot take- Men are half of the human population, give or take. Not all men are evil. I’d wager to say it’s not the majority of them that are evil. There are shitty guys and there are shitty women, it is what it is. Idk I could go on a long rant about this but I won’t, but like. Identifying as a man doesn’t make you an oppressor or a douchbag or a bad person automatically.

🫵- My opinion of you is that you’re a really good artist and you’re very smart about all the things you make, especially the meaningful details you add, and I feel very lucky that I get to see a lot of it.

Speaking of that drawing grrrr. I know what they are. Faggots. It’s so cute I’m gnawing on them
