#Rachel jack and Ashley too

[apinchofm]

Favourite Black Mirror Eps.

[fetchen]

maybe nobody else will get it but i LOVE stories about fictional celebrities. the ones i can think of right now are skye riley in smile 2, ashley o in black mirror, and jocelyn in the idol. now…i’m not necessarily saying that those stories were good. they were okay in smile 2 and black mirror’s case. the idol was…pretty bad but i still loved it despite that fact. the one common thread between all three was that they were all stories about fictional celebrities. i can guarantee if they were about anything else i would’ve liked them much less.

the ending of Rachel, Jack, and Ashley Too is exactly what I imagine would happen if the “Taylor Swift is punk!!!” crowd went to an actual punk show

Jack so cutie

【Black Mirror ブラックミラー】はLyraの大好物なSFチックな不思議な話が多くて見始めたのだが、デジタル社会の混沌と絶望と可能性が入り混じった話がメインの、１話完結話の癖ありすぎるダークファンタジー。 だから、Creep…

I think I did it. This crazy bastard went ahead and did it, all Black Mirror episodes ranked. Some choices were very easy, some were exceptionally hard. I think you may notice from the list below that my taste doesn’t really reflect the general consensus on episode quality. I have included in brackets the ranking that each episode has on IMDB as of July 7th 2023 to help show this. I like what I like and no apologies will be made for this.

I would also like to add that I do like every episode and I don’t consider any episode bad or unwatchable. I just like some more than others.

1. San Junipero (5)

2. White Bear (13)

3. White Christmas (1)

4. Black Mirror: Bandersnatch (22)

5. Metalhead (26)

6. USS Callister (9)

7. Demon 79 (24)

8. The National Anthem (14)

9. Playtest (10)

10. Black Museum (3)

11. Hang the DJ (2)

12. Mazey Day (28)

13. Fifteen Million Merits (11)

14. Be Right Back (12)

15. Nosedive (8)

16. Beyond the Sea (18)

17. Joan is Awful (17)

18. The Entire History of You (4)

19. Shut Up and Dance (7)

20. Rachel, Jack, and Ashley Too (27)

21. Men Against Fire (15)

22. Loch Henry (19)

23. Crocodile (21)

24. Hated in the Nation (6)

25. Smithereens (16)

26. Striking Vipers (23)

27. Arkangel (20)

28. The Waldo Moment (25)

Finally able to find the time to finish S6 of Black Mirror and I liked all the episodes, which makes ranking them difficult but here goes.

1. Demon 79.

2. Mazey Day.

3. Beyond the Sea.

4. Joan is Awful.

5. Loch Henry.

Maybe, if I get time and can wrap my head around it all, I’ll try and rank all episodes.

[munch-mumbles]

rewatching old black mirror eps makes me so sad fsr?? like the newer seasons have reeked a bit, the old ones def had some corny eps but there were some CRAAAAZY GOOD ONES TOO. IMO.

[tmnt-reticent]

The songs that fit each silly the best from their respective playlists because I’ve been brainrotting over some of these songs so much recently (Raph, Casey and April barely have any songs IM SO SORRY ILL FIND MORE FOR THEM SOON- whenever I get a song rec it’s almost always for Leo or Donnie I was just lucky to find a decent amount of Mikey songs on my own cbsjcbjshcjd-)

You can guess why they fit them but I won’t tell you if you’re right fbsjbcjshck

Leo:

Streaks (ANIMA!), PIN-EYE (Jhariah), Oh No! (MARINA), Memento Mori (Will Wood), Passing Through (Kaden Mackay), Everything I Ever Thought I Knew (Zachery Levi), What The World Needs (Ride The Cyclone), A Sadness Runs Through Him (The Hoosiers), Goddamn Staying Power (Mother Mother), Explode! (Mother Mother), End Of Me (Mother Mother, specifically first verse and chorus), despair (leo.), She Used To Be Mine (Sara Bareilles), Top Of My School (Katherine Lynn-Rose), I/Me/Myself (Will Wood), Days (Mother Mother), Magic (MILGRAM)

THERES TOO MANY THAT FIT HIM PERFECTLY ISTG 😭😭😭 There’s so many others on his playlist (he has almost the entire Grief Chapter Album, same with Mikey) but these are the ones I feel fit him the best

Out of all of these I would say Passing Through, Streaks or PIN-EYE are his theme song but bro has way too many choices

Raph:

Maybe It’s My Fault (WILLOW), So Big/So Small (Rachel Bay Jones), I Really F**led It Up (girli), I’d Give Anything (Mandy Moore), Meteor Shower (Cavetown)

I wasn’t lying when I said there wasn’t a lot of Raph songs it’s bad fr 💀💀💀 ILL FIND HIM MORE EVENTUALLY

His theme song is 100% Maybe It’s My Fault, it was my top played song on Spotify last year because I was literally brainrotting over it for him for MONTHS. Bro feels so guilty 24/7/365 and none of it was even his fault.

Mikey:

God’s Plan (Mother Mother), End of Me (Mother Mother, specifically second verse and chorus), Nobody Escapes (Mother Mother), Normalise (Mother Mother), Wrecking Ball (Mother Mother), Sunsets (Jhariah), Art Is Dead (Bo Burnham), Look Who’s Inside Again (Bo Burnham), Love, Me Normally (Will Wood), Sweet Hibiscus Tea (Penelope Scott), Mirror Man (Jack Stauber), 2econd 2ight 2eer (Will Wood)

Mirror Man has basically been his theme song since I started writing Reticent but God’s Plan, Nobody Escapes, Art Is Dead and the end of Love, Me Normally fit him SO INSANELY WELL (especially God’s Plan and Nobody Escapes I have been listening to those constantly since they released partially because I was about to go see Mother Mother but also because I was brainrotting over them for Ret Mikey SO HARD)

If I had to pick one it would probably still be Mirror Man but God’s Plan is SO close to overtaking it

Donnie:

Outliars and Hyppocrates (Will Wood), Rät (Penelope Scott), Partner In Crime (Madilyn Mei), Interlude:I’m Not Angry Anymore (Paramore), Boys Will Be Bugs (Cavetown), dumb dumb (mazie), brutal (Olivia Rodrigo), Rule #4 - Fish in a Birdcage (Fish in a Birdcage), Waiting in the Wings (both of and reprise, Eden Espinosa), Sparkbird (Sparkbird), Laplace’s Angel (Will Wood), BlackBoxWarrior - OKULTRA (Will Wood), I Can’t Handle Change (Roar), What’s Wrong With Me? (Ashley Park), Run Rabbit Run (The Hoosiers), Magic (MILGRAM)

Most of these fit Season 2 Part 1 Donnie in particular so I’ve been having a hard time picking a specific one as his theme song but I think Boys Will Be Bugs would fit pretty well

April:

Hayloft II (Mother Mother), Lew’s Lullaby (Ritt Momney), Cut The String (Mother Mother), Feel Better (Penelope Scott), Goodbye Until Tomorrow/I Could Never Rescue You (Anna Kendrick, Jeremy Jordan), Meteor Shower (Cavetown), Anybody Have A Map? (Rachel Bay Jones, Jennifer Laura Thompson)

April has the same issue as Donnie where a lot of her songs are more specific moments rather than her as a whole, but it’s worse for her since she has way less songs than he does dbskcbkshc- Cut The String is probably the one that would fit the best as a theme song though since even though it is meant to be for a specific moment she does have a tendency to run away from her problems instead of solving them

Also side-note, I do have an unfinished April animatic to Goodbye Until Tomorrow/I Could Never Rescue You because my The Last Five Years hyperfixation came back shskvcjsgfjd- I’m unsure if I’ll finish it cause it’s pretty old now but even if I don’t finish it I’ll still post the WIP!

Casey:

Little Big Boy (Madds Buckley), Bring It On (MILGRAM), Good Kid (Chris McCarrell), Sunsets (Jhariah), Meteor Shower (Cavetown), YELLOW (Yoh kamiyama), Dead Mom (Sophia Anne Caruso)

Him and April have the same amount of songs that fit them the best out of their playlists omigosh twinsiesssss dbskcbskhcjd

His theme song is Little Big Boy absolutely 200% it fits him so perfectly I love it so much for him

NSB (Straud Legacy) Gen 8 Ep. 116: A Strange Alliance

The day after Parker and the chief’s wedding Jack and Peachy headed to the outskirts of Strangerville to have lunch with the father of the groom.

The metal of the downed airplane the restaurant was named for, and tucked cleverly inside, gleamed brightly in the dry desert air. Peachy had always approved of the mingling of humor and cuisine, even just at the level of puns.

---------------------------------------------

As the men settled at a table and ordered their meal, Ashley launched into the tale of his son’s unexpected romance.

Parker had met Rachel at the local bar, and quickly fell head over heels in love. From the beginning Ashley had reservations about the woman, but his son was too besotted to listen to anything his old man had to say. She was sweet to his boy but seemed shifty and distant when he saw her alone.

Jack and Peachy nodded along, unfortunately not able to disagree with anything Ashley had seen or experienced. Peachy knew he could trust his old friend and told him what they suspected about Rachel’s ties to Nancy and her involvement in Jack’s unfair termination from the precinct.

---------------------------------------------

Ash said their story just reinforced what he’d already suspected about Rachel’s character. Maybe if they could make Parker see who she really was there would still be time for him to untangle himself from her grasp.

That day the men gained an unexpected ally in their quest to bring Nancy to justice. Ash had kept up his relationship with the conspiracy theorists he’d befriended during their investigation all those years ago and figured if anyone could uncover skeletons others wanted to keep hidden, it was them.

---------------------------------------------

Jack and Peachy wished Ash luck as they headed out, and he promised to let them know as soon as he learned anything that could aid in their quest.

Slowly but surely, they were closing in on the immortal criminal and very soon, Peachy was sure, they would make her pay.

[Main image description: A redraw of a scene from Bee and Puppycat, with Jon holding up Garfield, a happy look on Jon's face. Garfield's back is to the viewer and he is wearing a teal jacket with a purple collar and big pink shoulder bows. The back of the jacket reads "2024 January" across two ribbon banners, with a picture of Pooky the bear's face between the ribbons.]

Short playlist for one of those long-feeling months. The description I put on the playlist was "aiming for a decent start" and that's the vibe. We got this! Chase and I have been talking about why Nick Lutsko's music always seems to hit for us, beyond him being very good at working skeletons into things and also using puppets, and it has come down to a specific realist-pessimism in tone that does not deny hope or optimism.

Related media to some of the songs:

This month's playlist cover is inspired by the video for 'cliché - revisited' by mxmtoon, which features Bee and Puppycat themselves.

'Swinging On A Star' is featured (as sung by Bruce Willis and Danny Aiello) in the 1991 film Hudson Hawk, which is a charming film if one for a very specific audience.

"Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too" is one of two Black Mirror episodes I've seen and I remain forever fond of it, probably due to the particular approach to the Nine Inch Nails covers.

The Devil and Daniel Johnston is a great doc, available on Archive dot org. His music has been threaded through a lot of my adult life.

(No, San Junipero isn’t on here. Yes, that does feel a little sacreligious. I like it very much and I’m glad it exists. However I thought there might be too much of a sweep if it was on here and I can’t say with absolute certainty that I liked it more than Hated in the Nation. And there could only be one per series according to the rules I just made up. So. Kindly do not come complaining to me that I “forgot” to put San Junipero on the list. Thanks.)
