Femslash February 17 - Sand

Molly x Patty

“It’s happened, Cobb. Time to pay up.”

Molly took a last swig of her beer. “You beat me at one thing, Doyle, and you get bossy.”

Patty leaned in close. “If I remember right, you like it when I’m bossy.”

Molly rolled her eyes and looked at the makeshift camp NASA set up in the desert. She and Patty were far ahead of the other women but they’d have to ditch the guys hovering around them like they were going to pass out or spontaneously combust or have their ovaries burst out of their bodies. “C’mon,” Molly took Patty’s arm and pulled her toward the rock outcropping.

“Cobb and Doyle, where do you think you’re going?”

“We gotta piss, Deke! You wanna watch?” Molly called back.

Deke shook his head and looked into his binoculars in the other direction like some worried mother hen. Molly pulled Patty into a crevice and pushed her against the rock, kissing her fiercely, biting at her lips. She worked the zipper down Patty’s jumpsuit and Patty pulled away. “We’re doing this here?”

“You were the one who told me to pay up.”

Patty frowned. “Last time we did this in a desert we got sand in unpleasant places.”

“That’s the chance you’ll have to take,” Molly said as she pushed her hand under Patty’s t-shirt and kneaded her breast. “Besides that was a much more sandy desert.” She placed a bite on the skin near Patty’s left ear, a spot she knew would make Patty’s hips surge against her thigh.

“Fine, but make it quick. I don’t want Deke to send the cavalry.”

Molly smirked and moved her hand between Patty’s thighs and rubbed. Patty surged against her hand and rode both it and her thigh. Molly increased the pressure and as Patty’s breathing and movements sped up, she took her free hand in pinched one of her nipples. Patty’s head fell forward and she bit into Molly’s shoulder to stifle a cry.

Molly removed her hand and wiped it against her leg. “C’mon Doyle, let’s go get another beer.” She walked back toward the tent, Patty following on slightly wobbly legs.

Yes yes, Patti Lupone is a Legendary once-in-a-lifetime voice and performer we all stan a bbg

But the thing is when asked by John Doyle what instruments she plays she answered some piano, cello, and the TUBA

And that’s what they cast her to play

For SWEENEY TODD

y’know, the TUBA

the CLASSIC very SWEENEY TODD instrument

Let’s not give her a cello. So she can play AND sing

I think Kamala Harris is going to win this election. And that’s because the double-haters now have an alternative. They don’t have to hold their nose and either vote for Trump or hold their nose and vote for Biden.

I love the side characters in this show so bad

Sookie is wonderful and perfect she’s such a good friend and Jackson is such a goofy guy and Michel is so entertaining I love him very much and Lane is such a sweetheart and I love her story with her mom and ms Patty and Babette and Morey are all silly and Paris and Doyle are so fun and Ceaser is fun and Kirk is Kirk

I love side characters

[anxiouspotatorants]

Not to show my Tumblr fandom age and level of cringe but I’ve been thinking about Pacific Rim recently (or really just my ship (Maco x Raleigh) and drift compatibility as a concept) and since everything always circles back to Gilmore Girls for me on this blog it got me wondering who is and isn’t drift compatible and what that means.

Like, drift compatibility isn’t about romantic compatibility or that kind of soulmatism, it’s about having someone who you klick with on such a fundamental level that you could pilot a giant mecha together. Raleigh copilots with his brother before he meets Mako. One robot is run by a father-son duo. One is run by more than two. It’s not about romance but strong, personal and stable bonds between two or more people.

So with that clarified I think Rory and Jess are 100% drift compatible and that Rory isn’t drift compatible with any of her other boyfriends. Not because of shipping but because Jess is explicitly written to have an instant understanding with Rory and connection of the mind. That being said Rory and Lorelai are also drift compatible, but not Lorelai and Luke (again, not shipping related I love java junkie I just don’t think they could pilot a jaeger together). Emily and Richard are drift compatible and while Emily sorely wishes to be compatible with her daughter and/or granddaughter but she just isn’t. Lorelai, Sookie and Michel are drift compatible, both just the women and as a trio. I actually think Paris could’ve been drift compatible with Tristan at some point (though I really don’t ship them) and when she meets Doyle they are so drift compatible it’s funny. Also she might be drift compatible with her nanny. Madeleine and Louise are a lock for drift compatibility. Miss Patty and Babette are probably drift compatible too. All of Hep Alien could possibly run a suit together but after Dave leaves and tensions rise between Zack Brian and Gil Zack would break compatibility with and for everyone (that band is a unit and can only pilot a jaeger as a unit). Taylor Doose is convinced he can pilot a whole mecha by himself (he cannot).

List of Every Brandon Rogers Characters Ever

I don’t know why I did this. It took 4 hours. I haven’t seen ever Brandon Rogers video (shocking, I know) so some are missing. I purposely didn’t add any parody characters (the Kardashians, Annabell, M3GAN etc), but if you notice any BRCU characters missing, please comment so I can add them.

And obviously the characters not credited are played by Brandon Rogers.

David July is credited as David Burton on this list. I’m not sure when they changed their name, as they are credited as both on Brandon’s videos.

I can’t remember who Debbie and Doyle are but I must of put them on this list for a reason

No one was credited in this video and most were personal friends of Brandon’s and not content creators so are nearly impossible to find. I had to stalk Brandon’s Insta to find these people.

BTW, Bazil (who plays Cheshire Cat) is a trans man who goes by he/him. Just letting people know because people are misgendering him and I assume it’s because they don’t know his pronouns.

Liam Grant — Prodigal Son (VHF Records)

How does one go about making music not usually understood as “punk” sound like punk? How best to apply the DIY ethos, the construction by destruction, of punk art to other genres? How can the guide-fires that have been lit by past iconoclasts of the underground illuminate explorations in different styles? Maine-based fingerstyle guitarist Liam Grant provides his answers to these questions in the form of his sophomore LP, Prodigal Son (out 2/21/2025 on VHF Records), a collection of anti-tradition-traditional-style music — American Primitive with a capital A and P through a dirtied lens — kindly and perhaps counter-intuitively dedicated to his parents.

The opening track, “Palmyra,” starts with a gong-like bang on the open strings of a Weissenborn lap dobro prior to dipping into a sunny, up-tempo Fahey-style postmodern country blues jam. A typical start for a post-Jack-Rose guitar soli record, except that it sounds like it was run through the same amp and pedals Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein used while recording “Where Eagles Dare”, with the gain on the tape machine dimed à la Bowie recording Raw Power. The disconnect between the refinement of the playing and the fidelity of the recording is striking. It isn’t circumstantially lo-fi, nor is it an attempt to sound vintage like a dusty 78 rpm disc, going back to the source — it’s an intentional push into distortion, taking something pretty and covering it in mud.

This distressed audio technique works well with the blues style music, you can situate the gritty sound of the slide in some kind of smoky Roadhouse scenario — trade out the casual violence for folks talking over each other about obscure records from Western Massachusetts while the guitar wails. It takes on another dimension of abstraction when Grant switches out the slide for the twelve-string and gets in raga mode. The lightning-like knots of fingerpicking on the moody, roughly thirteen-minute eastern-infected journey “Salmon Tails Up The River” dissolve into flattened fields of blown-out tape fuzz, blending with the textured booms of the low end strings to create a speaker-straining mass of sound. Another lengthy twelve-string piece, “Insult to Injury,” opens the B-side with a meditative counterpoint to the sturm und drang of “Salmon Tails”,twinkling riffs cutting through the sonic haze like a gentle ship passing through ocean fog.

The last two songs on Prodigal Son show different ways of approaching folk, in a broad sense, in a punk way, first by paying tribute to an originator, second by an invocation of the DIY lifestyle. “A Moment at the Door” is a take on a composition by a master of boundary-clearing, broke-down blues guitar playing, Loren Mazzacane Connors. The overdriven recording here finds a comfortable middle ground where Grant ably recreates Connor’s minimalist electric guitar style on his six-string acoustic, magnetic hiss filling the stretches between notes. The album closer “Old Country Rock” is a loose and joyous live cut from the Grant/McGuire/Flaherty old-time trio. This is where the DIY lifestyle aspect of Grant’s project comes in. Last year this trio embarked on an extensive Southeastern US tour, booking it and conducting business in a way that would’ve been familiar to Black Flag in 1981, if you substituted phone calls for Instagram DMs. Twenty years ago, the original incarnation of Old Crow Medicine Show were constantly touring road-dogs bringing Beale Street jug band songs from the twenties and thirties to places no one had ever played them before. The *music* wasn’t punk, but they were – not because of how they sounded but because of how they did things. Patti Smith, asked likely for the millionth time what punk was, said “To me, punk rock is the freedom to create, freedom to be successful, freedom to not be successful, freedom to be who you are.” Punk has never been an aesthetic genre. It’s a way of being, and Liam Grant literally slides into it on the first track of Prodigal Son.

[septembersghost]

it’s taken me almost a month to finally listen to the sweeney todd revival recording and it’s so surreal because it’s like…the remnants of why this music is seared into my being don’t quite exist in the way they should on this blog, it’s (frankly dear, forgive me candor) intrinsic more than displayed, but knowing it intimately inside and out, you’d think another cast would be much like previous iterations, except they’re always different experiences because of variations in portrayal and vocal characterization, and the lush orchestrations here filling out their world (my sense memory so used to the stripped down, eerie doyle revival arrangements that alex’s grand ones returning to the tunick originals do change the atmosphere. there’s no conceit here, it’s a beating, bleeding heart).

josh has such a specifically beautiful baritone that it could easily be too romantic for this part, instead he utilizes it like a blade. the chemistry between he and annaleigh has its own energy (some of the michael and patti sinister psychosexual obsession, some of the detachment warring with mania of george and angela, but there’s also a curious rapport to their cunning and their “arrangement” lending them slivers of humanity - these are people who’ve lost everything, you can’t expect them to be rational).

anyway i easily know everyone involved has succeeded when i reach my friends and get goosebumps (see how they glisten…), when green finch feels like my heart is trying to escape my chest (have you decided it’s safer in cages, singing when you’re told?), when johanna makes me teary (i was half-convinced i’d waken, satisfied enough to dream you…the reprise is going to destroy me! another bright red day!), and when epiphany makes me feel extremely sick to my stomach only for “seems a downright shame…” to make me want to cackle with madness. is it really good? sir, it’s too good at least.

this will always be a story, to me, about love in the most visceral, terrifying sense, and its absence and corruption and destruction and tragedy, how depriving and breaking people individually and systemically consumes what would otherwise nourish. love buried in a grave of the past and love unrequited and love at the windowsill dying to escape and love in the basement set on fire. if only angels could prevail, we’d be the way we were. you’re gone and yet you’re mine.

stephen sondheim no one will ever be you miss you and love you forever

[benwvatt]

Well you know I gotta ask about the "tracyyyyyyyyyy" WIP lol ♥ Tell me more!

ahhhh thank you so much! so I'm writing a FAM fic for Fandom Trumps Hate (which is actually how i started the show! I was requested to write about it.) I have a few favorite characters, but I think Tracy is absolutely my favorite and Gordo and Molly are probably my second and third.

Anyways, tracyyyyyyyyyy is a fix-it fic that's similar to yours - one where they live. It's an everyone lives AU; I mean, I might follow through with a few canon deaths that I don't find as much of a big deal, but I do want to save characters like Molly and Patty (I LOVE PATTY DOYLE SO MUCH.)

ideally, this fic will contain

molly and patty being girlfriends (THEY'RE REALLY GAY IN SEASON ONE, OKAY?!)

molly and wayne being best friends because i love him a lot

tracy and gordo rekindling their romance and falling back in love

so much tracy backstory & stories of how she started dating gordo & character development & insight. I think tracy's my favorite because she is so visceral and human to me. Her grief, and her ambition, and her anger and her conflicting needs in life (good parenting vs. wanting to be an astronaut, her love/hate relationship with gordo) are so REAL to me. I just love her so dearly. She's so cool and she deserved to be a part of the show for longer.

something something karen character development

molly gets to be badass even post-solar storm

also I need to make the stevens kids better because they are kind of um.,,,,,,,, tricky? I don't think they're BAD, per se, but they can be hard to watch sometimes because it's hard to watch kind people make bad decisions. And, partly because of who their parents are, it just makes me so sad to think of tracy and gordo not being able to guide their sons onto a good path. Especially when it comes to Jimmy's terrible conspiracy theorist friends

It's not super plotted out and I'm only 1000 words into it so far, but I'm having fun writing from Nick Corrado's POV. I love him! He's so weird

(speaking of weird guys, Alexei also needs to be in my fic because i LOVE poletov. He's so sweet and kind.)
