Y’all don’t even know about this crack ship

[candyriku]

finally getting a chance to work on chapter 15 today :-)

[didsomebodysaypancakes]

Some thoughts after rewatching the Turn Pilot:

Overall, the pilot is a lot more grim than I think the rest of the show ends up being. Turn is a serious show, but it lets itself have fun with the setting and how theatrical the characters are. But I think the pilot is still gripping and does a great job of setting the scene and establishing the characters.

Abe gets beat up every episode of this show, but man does he get his shit wrecked in the pilot. Every other scene, that farmer is getting stomped on, punched, manhandled, or just straight up tortured. Half an hour of this hour long pilot is Abe being a punching bag. Was every day like this for him before the show starts?

Ben's introductory scene hits every time <3 The pilot emphasizes his cunning but doesn't really incorporate his idealism yet.

I only realized during my last rewatch that Robert Rogers hated Ben because Ben killed one of RR's men during his escape. Before that I had no idea why he was so obsessed with him lmao. I still think his vendetta against Ben is kinda insane, but i can at least understand the logic of it now.

Why do they make John André so mysterious in the pilot lmao. Glad they switch from the wig to the Jedi padawan hair for him.

The only levity in this episode comes from Caleb and Hewlett. Caleb brings the warmth while Hewlett is just so over the top as almost a caricature of a British officer, it's beautiful and mesmerizing. Burn Gorman saw this character and knew exactly what he needed to do. Even Baker running late and out of Abe and Mary's home doesn't hit as a comedic beat because they look so uncomfortable about being forced to house a British soldier (and understandably).

Why are the faces of the men who catch Abe smuggling covered? I don't think either Ben or Caleb were in the boat, so what was the purpose of hiding their identities from the audience and Abe?

Selah and Anna are rich af wtf

Simcoe is a real creep in this episode. I think it's to the show's and the character's benefit that they pretty quickly change course to Simcoe being a scary, homicidal, immortal cartoon villain instead of the potential sexual predator the pilot makes him out to be.

I don't have much to say about Mary rn except that I never hated her and I always believed in her and when the ending of the first season finale aired i was so vindicated and I cheered bc i always knew that Mary was That Bitch. Mary puts the LOYAL in LOYALIST.

I don't really know why Turn decides to throw in a little murder mystery into the beginning of season 1. I guess just to cause conflict and eventually rub in Abe's face that everybody hates spies? To show how different Abe is at the end of the first season when he does actually take another man's life? We will see!

Needing some levity rn, and Knell figuring out how to tease the shit out of Frey is always fun, so here's somewhere over 400 words about it below the cut :)

Frey took a bit to actually look at all the plants in the room. Most of them were dead and brown, but a few here and there seemed to be doing alright. One vine by the windows all but thrived; it clung to the panes and climbed almost to the ceiling, leaves so dark a green they were nearly black turned towards the sun. Tiny white and purple flowers grew in clusters here and there, and gave off a subtle, almost spicy perfume. Didn't Auden have something like this hanging in bundles in her room? Not exactly the same, the plants looked nothing alike, but the smell. Frey pulled out her knife and harvested a bundle of the flowers and leaves to take back to Auden. Even if Auden didn't want them, Frey liked them enough she'd keep them in her own room. "Have a beau in mind?" Knell asked. "What?" "I understand if you do not wish to tell me, I was simply curious." "Yeah, I got that," Frey said as she wrapped the cutting in cloth she wetted from her water skin. "What brought that on?" "Oh, that plant. Perhaps it has different symbolism in Athia, but in Rheddah it's often given as a gift to one whom you wish to court. The unique bicolouration symbolizes the joining of two individuals into one cohesive unit." "Huh." Frey turned one of the bundles of flowers so it caught the late afternoon light streaming into the room. Streaks of purple and white glowed in the sun. "That's kinda cool, actually." "I also hear tell that the fruit has aphrodisiacal properties." Frey's cheeks went hot. "Uh—" She could just imagine Auden's reaction. The giggling, the "oh, Frey," the way her cheeks and ears would turn pink. Frey's stomach clenched in that nervous-excited way she still wasn't used to and tried really, really hard not to think about how soft Auden's lips were. Knell kept talking, either teasing or oblivious, and Frey wasn't sure which would be worse. "Receiving a bouquet or even a single clipping of this plant is considered the height of romance, as I'm sure you can surmise. Hence my curiosity. Though, as I said, I understand why you would not wish to tell me of any potential beau—that is, a romantic interest—in your life." Frey cleared her throat. "N-not a beau, no." "...Ah. A belle, then?" "We're done talking."

Smallville 5x03

"Safe? Safe has got nothing to do with this, you shouldn't be doing anything like this especially not under our roof." "Oh, like you didn't do it?"

ASJDHAJSK NOT MARTHA'S FACE-

and that's why she's my bestie

"You know, when you start rambling about spaceships and aliens people kind of look at you funny." "They must not have the same faith in you that I do."

Lex are you serious rn?💀💀 I'm sorry but no.

(to my mutuals who ship them, please pretend you don't see my distaste ily <3)

"The life force that has been returned to you will soon be taken from someone you love. You're about to face your darkest hour, my son."

thanks, I hate it

"But remember, the lessons that we learn from pain are the ones that make us the strongest."

wrong you absolute dumbass, this is actually going to hold Clark back until the absolute last season of this show so congratulations

"I'm not human anymore."

bb you never were😭😭😭

Also please tell me Clark and Lana have more than two happy episodes together???? I have this one gif that I feel like I'm going to use it a lot for them💀

"However he swept it under the rug, a normal person doesn't rise from the dead."

LEXXXXX😭

I need Lionel to stay away from Lex at all times please

WELL if you don't remember what happened to you Lionel, we could always hook you up to those same machines that you used to mess with Lex's memory a few seasons back😌

(actually pls don't even though that would be kind of funny)

"I do have one confession. I really liked being the only one who knew all about... you know, you."

...uhm

THERE IS A BUT THANK GOD (because if there wasn't I would've had some things to say)

"But if you honestly believe that you can stay with Lana and not tell her I think you're seriously kidding yourself."

Yeah, it's one thing to keep stuff from your friends but when they're at this level of intimacy she definitely has more of a right to know🤷🏻‍♀️

"I don't have a choice. I can't expect her to react like you did."

UHMMMM...

You know what, no. I'm not even gonna say anything except CLARK DO YOU HEAR YOURSELF RN????

"Why didn't I listen to him?"

*BIG SIGH*

Lois pls come back and bring the levity with you, I really need it.

NAME:

Fishee/Fishes

PRONOUNS:

she/her

MOST ACTIVE MUSE(S)?

Just Cotesia atm

RP PET PEEVES?

Not particularly any I can think of – I like to keep things collaborative and open. Writing fights tends to stress me out more than annoy me just because I never want to be in a place where either my muse gets treated poorly or I treat someone else’s that way unintentionally (eg power gaming or similar). I think lots of issues can get resolved ahead of time by discussing the major plot beats.

Again, less of a peeve and more of a stress thang but sometimes when a thread fizzles out I feel a bit bad ;;

EXPERIENCE / HOW MANY YEARS?

Hm well I used to RP on a game called Blockland in the ~Dark Ages~, then I moved to tumblr with my first dark souls and bloodborne blogs (moreso bb, my ds one never especially took off as I kinda missed the boat). I think I stopped about 2017? and just restarted like,, last month? So in total maybe something like 7 or so years.

FLUFF, ANGST, OR SMUT?

I’m not really sure! Cotesia lends herself to being somewhat angsty at times. In past it was definitely more angst. TBH I like my rping like I like most of my writing, giving levity where its needed and reflecting on tragedy otherwise. And violence. Smut I’m kinda *shrug* about, I haven’t done it but I’m not opposed either, but Cotesia is not really the muse for it atm. I actually haven’t decided how she feels about sex...

PLOTS OR MEMES?

I prefer to plot out but memes are really good with coming up with ideas, or getting me to think about things I haven’t thought of before. Memes are better for short interactions too, which can be nice for fleshing out little things.

LONG OR SHORT REPLIES?

Usually long! I try to match substantively but there are some times where a short, direct reply, is perfect.

TIME TO WRITE?

I’m unemployed rn so you may have noticed its any time I’m awake but usually closer to midday/afternoon/evening. I like to think ahead of time so usually come around to writing/editing my reply later.

ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE(S)?

Maybe? Everyone puts a little of themselves into the things they make. I think Cotesia reflects some negative qualities of mine—eg being Really Intense at times, flipping between being patient/kind and then being uncontrollably angry, also just general alienation/isolation. But she has good qualities too—she cares for Millicent so much that leads her to eventually allowing Millicent to die the way she wants to, healing a little bit of Cotesia’s wounds wrt Malenia. Cotesia’s unabashedly curious, and she’s confident and thoughtful. Also much of her notions about the True Nature of Rot TM is with regards to my own studies in ecology, which I think is just fun.

tagged by: @necrophcge Thank you!!

tagging: I believe everyone’s been tagged already lol, but feel free to swipe this if you haven’t already

[erismourn]

i really do think that nimbus as a character is what destiny needs rn. like we didn’t need a snarky happy character to replace cayde immediately after he died for sure. but it’s been a LONG time of SUPER SERIOUS conversations and technobabble and Proper Nouns. we need some levity to break it up. don’t get me wrong, destiny IS a super serious story about the end of the universe as we know it and people are going to die and all that, but as players I think we need a bit of a break from the monotony of “Everything is bad all the time”

[icharchivist]

The fanfic is really making me love Fif a lot more than I thought I would tbh

She's just so cute and precocious and still a whole ass child. She's so naive and straightforward, it's perfect. Also she's literally the light of the group rn, providing some levity while everyone is ready to pounce on each other

She and Tweyen both actually. That's funny

Tweyen is adorable, she's trying so haaaard to make friends

I also adore how Siete and Threo are just Like That. Especially considering that Siete supposedly recruited her in this one. He's got that feral jungle girl on a leash, it's so fun to see, especially when he's still so hostile with everyone else

But the best part is genuinely just seeing how some of the things we discuss here are used as inspiration, because yeah, Feower definitely got hit by that Fated Chain

At least he didn't get drop kicked

There's just so many moments in there that I love, it's really good and funny and tense when it needs to be

I love these pre Eternals, it's so good

TBHHHH. those HCs we make on here and how the fic is working on them make me appreciate all of the Eternals more and more. Fif in particular was such a breath of fresh air during this pure tension of a group. Just too nice, too pure.

I loved her and Tweyen trying to make it work, with Tweyen just recoiling like "oh i'm doing it wrong" while Fif doesn't even have this filter yet so she's just "well no it's the others who are wrong"

also agreed, Siete and Threo relationship is so funny here. A man and his feral coworker. the fact they get along and Siete support her just fighting people because he wishes he could be feral too is so perfect.

BUT YEAH there's definitely another layer if you come from the blog because there's def inspiration from the stuff we discuss here too. I definitely felt the Fated Chain @ Feower and i was howlering. Something just for Us to understand. But hey at least it was just a cancel and not a counter. Thank you Siete for your restrain.

It's genuinely so so good, i love it so much.

who knew we'd have so much fun with Early Eternal Shenanigans.

love lvoe it

[animaybi]

Omg of course!! We all need some levity rn yk? Love you frand!!!!!!

I'm depressed so here's a stupid thing from my tt 🤪 🙃

[stygmatus]

missed this blue b*tch 🥰🎱💊

I'm returning back to shirbert la la land now and I will not be stopped

“Well she’s really hot” Jester you are GAy

[rhpsdys]

                   you’re on your back on the couch / half - asleep, exhausted / you cannot afford to rest more than a few minutes now / so you pluck at the strings of your violin ;   / no matter how hard you try / it won’t quite tune / must be the weather / or something in the air.

a rustling sound outside draws your attention to the door / && you stand with a groan / the ache in your bones far more pronounced / than you’ve noticed ‘til now. / what greets you is unexpected ;   the wariness / in your eyes as you look him up && down / does not fully diminish / but there is acceptance there as well. 

He brought them a dead mouse in thanks for keeping its secret . Cue happy harpy noises    ( @cardinalhope​ )

you hold out your hands / to accept the offering / ( ignoring the way your nose wrinkles at the smell ) / this is your communion / the breaking of bread / && you smile at him / the soft warmth of acceptance / as your fingers ghost over red feathers / then retract. / you whistle again, an utterance / of gratitude / with an incline of your head. / better it be mice / than the alternative.

UNPROMPTED.

throwback scene - stefan and damon high out of their minds

"Damon!" Bonnie snapped, hands flying up in an implied 'what the hell' as she entered the kitchen. He was sprawled in front of the open fridge, surrounded by olives and shattered glass and putting whipped cream on crackers.

"Whaddup my party people," he said, piling a thick swirl of whipped cream onto a soda cracker. "Polly wanna cracker? Oi, Stef, think fast!" He flung the overflowing cracker at Stefan and it made it about three feet before nose-diving into the ground with an unceremonious splat. Stefan lifted his hands to catch it two seconds after it hit the floor.

Caroline's eyes rolled ceiling-ward. "How about we start with thinking at all."

"You want one, Care?"

"Throw that cracker at me and I'll throw your skull out of your head."

"That seems like a no," Damon said thoughtfully. "What about you, Bonster?"

"What'd you do to the olive jar?" she replied, entirely ignoring the question, and Damon scoffed dramatically.

"The question you should be asking is what did the olive jar do to me."

"Actually, the question I should be asking is how the everloving hell did you manage to get Stefan caught up in your general disastrousness?"

Damon rolled his eyes. "He's a big boy, he can think for himself—right, Stefan?"

They all turned to look at the guy in question, who was staring at his hands in wide-eyed amazement. "…so many atoms…"

"See?"

i.e. I read chapter four for the first time in like a year and forgot how outrageous drigh!defan was so I figured I’d remind everyone else.

Need more clef and Cimmerian ugh

S/O takes them out to play in the rain headcanons because its raining rn

With Clef, Cimmerian, Rights, and a person of your choice (bet its konny)

Dr. Clef, Dr. Cimmerian, Dr. Rights, and Dr. Light Playing in the Rain

[GN!Reader]

[Warnings: Like, none?]

[AN: You bet wrong. Where's my $10?]

Dr. Clef

He's the one that drags you out into the rain. He is a sad jaded man hiding behind but he's always loved the rain. It makes him feel a bit sleepy, but kinda secure at the same time.

He will dance with you in the rain. Loves to splash in the puddles, throw away the umbrellas, and exist in the moment with you.

Grabs your face gently and presses kisses to your lips before the two of you spin off and let the droplets shower over you.

I feel the two of you would play tag or something to that effect. It's loads of fun and the two of you laugh so much you're at a loss for breath.

When it's over, the two of you cuddle and drink something warm.

Dr. Cimmerian

Don't think he necessarily plays in the rain but he does like to be out in it.

He'll smile as you grab at his hand and bring him outside. He holds an umbrella, and strolls with you. It's pretty serene and peaceful, just the two of you against the world.

He will sometimes splash in the puddles though. Little hops into them. Kinda cute, kinda quirky. I feel he also likes to tell you little anecdotes from his life as the two of you stroll.

Will dance with you in a much more graceful, less hectic style. It's quite romantic.

The whole thing is romantic, almost like a fairytale. Kiss in the rain to swelling music, the gentle hum of the earth, it's sweet.

Dr. Rights

Chaotic in the rain. Doesn't bring you out first because her hair becomes a bit of a frizzy mess and her curls poof up like those "put this foam turtle in water it'll grow 600x it's size" but like, she loves the rain.

She'd go out with you and start splashing, giggling, spinning you. Her hands are all over you throughout it.

At one point the two of you end up at a playground and kinda slip and slide everywhere. It's a lot of fun, y'know?

Loves to hold your hand and jump in the larger puddles with you. Never really lets you go. Agatha is a bit protective by nature and wants to be near you.

When all is said and done, she's a mother hen, making sure you're dry and whatnot. She does not want you getting sick! Makes some good food, or takes you out for some - her cooking skills are interesting - and spends the rest of the evening doting on you.

Dr. Light

Sophia needs some levity in her life. You can persuade her to go outside but like, I don't think that comes easily. She strikes me as a no nonsense woman.

Going out into the rain with her is quite peaceful, but if you start splashing her it kicks her competitive nature into overdrive. She will absolutely soak you, using your umbrella against you.

She smiles and laughs a lot when she gets splashed by you. Will also dance with you. I don't think she's very good at dancing, but like, she likes to spin and sway with you.

She's kinda one of those "omg we shouldn't be doing this we're people of science and serious-" but like, come on any opportunity to be with you is good in her eyes.

Cuddles with you to warm back up after playing in the rain. Makes you some good hot drink, orders some good food, all of that cute stuff.
