#Surely there's a chance I might not

It was several years before I read any Lord Peter Wimsey novels that I watched Wives and Daughters (1999), and Lord Cumnor is a very minor character, so it isn't strange that I wouldn't make the connection then, but boy isn't Ian Carmichael an enchantingly perfect casting for the role.
#I dread the day I might grow as disenchanted with that adaptation as I grew with P&P 95#Surely there's a chance I might not#and it's not like I cannot tell some choices weren't perfect#like the ending or the appearance of Roger Hamley#but it is for the most part such an excellent piece of media AND adaptation

Tag game: tag nine people you’d like to know better.
Tagged by: @oneshoulderangel (Thank you for tagging me!)
Last song: At the moment, I have "Losing Your Memory" by Alan Star stuck in my head, which I suppose makes it my current song, not my last song. Hm. I get songs stuck in my head very easily, but the last one I had there for a significant amount of time was a mashup of different language versions of "Les Rois du Monde" for about a week. "Lehetsz Király", the Magyar version, is probably my favorite of them. It's worth a listen.
Currently watching: Normally, the answer would be "random mostly terrible old movies/shows" or "nothing much", but I currently have a hyperfixation on the musical Roméo et Juliette and have been watching it in multiple languages. (Thus, the song).
Three ships: This is hard. Maybe as a result of being on the ace and aro spectrums, I'm more likely to care about which characters are interacting than whether it's romantic or platonic. Here goes:
Kedivere/Bedikay. It can be romantic, platonic, or queerplatonic, but whichever way, I'm here for it. I probably spend too much time thinking about how in Cullwch and Olwen, when Cai gets mad at Arthur and marches out, Bedwyr stays behind, keeps acting like nothing's happened, and isn't the one to avenge Cai's death. The feeling of betrayal on both sides has a lot of unexplored potential. And the version where Bedivere dies and Kay fights to bring his body back safely while mortally wounded himself... And the version where Bedivere survives Camlann and Kay isn't said to fight in it, so they might be left together after their world has fallen apart...
Platonically or queerplatonically, Galahad and the Grail Heroine. I really like the tragic Grail Quest friendships, but I like theirs most, maybe because there's something weird and otherworldly about them both. I like it when characters are strange and endearing and doomed by the narrative.
Ever since reading John Matthews' retelling, which I read before the original, I've had a soft spot for Caradoc and Guinier. The Story of Caradoc is very disturbing, and I have some major qualms with Caradoc over a detail Matthews cut out, but all the same, there's a reason these two have the best track record with magical fidelity tests. Each of them would go to the ends of the earth for the other, and together, they're stronger than any curse.
Favorite Color: Blue, particularly royal blue and some teals.
Currently consuming: Black licorice with chocolate.
First ship: This is a hard one, since through elementary and most of middle school, I tended to go along with whatever I thought the author's intentions were and was more likely to unship something. The first non-endgame ship I got invested in was Sonya/Nikolai in War and Peace. I didn't like Nikolai, but Sonya did, and she was my favorite character, so I wanted her to be happy. The first non-canon couple I thought was meant to be together was also in War and Peace: Marya Bolkonskaya and Julie Karagina. My eighth grade self did not think their letters could be interpreted platonically. I still don't.
Last movie: If the musical doesn't count, the last movie I watched was Quest for Camelot, which was awful. Though not Robot Monster-level bad, Robot Monster has an elegance to its simplicity which Quest for Camelot lacks.
Currently working on: Various fics, most of them Arthuriana or CotRK-related (I am woefully behind on the Badfic Bingo), and (theoretically) an epic-style poem, though I haven't gotten much of it written for quite a while now.
Tagging: @gawrkin, @emperorcandy, @wildbasil, @gorewound, @knightsofsomethingorother, @ladyminaofcamelot, @tasosotaso, @amashelle, @gingersnaptaff (I have no idea who's been tagged so far, apart from the people on @oneshoulderangel's post, so I apologize for any multi-tags)
#tagging game#I might have rushed this but I was worried I was going to spend a long time overthinking it if I didn't#I have one ask for a theme song for Kay from the Spring which I still haven't answered#despite having a whole playlist for him#because I'm not sure any of the songs are good enough and after all this time the stakes seem higher#It was an anon too so the chances are the person will never see it at this point#I'm counting this getting posted as a rare win for non-perfectionism

I… do not understand tumblr live. Like, are there actually only about 50 people streaming across the whole platform at any one time? And why are so many of them just… people smoking? Or unoccupied desks? And why is nobody talking about frogs?
#live#tumblr live#it occurs to me that the reason there are so few streamers is that I am in the wrong timezone#but honestly even off-peak 50 streamers is embarrassing numbers#look I might do an AMA sometime#but there is a very low chance that it will be on tumblr live#so far most livestreaming I've done has been on facebook and/or instagram#but those platforms both really suck for it#so I am not sure which platform I will use#suggestions are welcome#I have also dabbled with youtube#and once tried twitch#might try tiktok sometime#but it's not great on all these platforms without existing follower counts#these are the ramblings of a tumblr old#his continuing mission:#to teach you about strange and wonderful animals#to seek out new frog lovers and teach them fun facts#to try to understand why tumblr is worse than before

you know what gets me? is that, in job descriptions, you go through the list of required skills and actually go, "Oh yeah, y'know I could do all of this!" only for them to cap the list with "at least five years of professional experience."
like, do they realize I'm looking for entry level positions?? do those just not exist???
#i get it#they want to make sure they're getting someone ready to go#BUT#what about?? the peepol who need someone !!#to take just take that chance on them!!!#we might surprise you! in a good way

hello! i really hate doing this, but my state has been going through the worst flood we've had in over 80 years, and i just spoke to my dad on the phone and he told me there's a high chance the water might've reached the ceiling in our house — and if it didn't, it still reached pretty high anyway, as we've been informed —, which means there's a very high chance we lost everything (or almost everything) we own, except for the things we could pack up and carry with us when we evacuated. the area where we live is completely flooded and the roads are closed, and although i managed to make it back to my hometown before things got too bad and am staying at my mom's house where it's safe for now, i'm still dreading the moment i have to go back, and i don't know what we're gonna do and how we're gonna start rebuilding our lives.
so if you're able to donate anything at all (literally anything helps), here's the link to my ko-fi (e se vc for brasileire e quiser doar pelo pix, pode me mandar mensagem que eu mando a chave em pvt)
if you can't help financially, reblogging this post is also really helpful!
thank you and stay safe 💜
#there's also a chance the water might rise in my hometown too lol 💀 so i'm just praying it won't reach my mom's place at least#i feel bad doing this but idk what else to do???#i'm also gonna have to buy a bunch of food to make sure we won't run out bc we don't know when things will be restocked#considering most roads are either blocked for safety reasons or totally flooded#anyway... yeah#this is kinda embarrassing but i'm also desperate so i'm rlly sorry !!

IF ANYONE WANTS TO EXCHANGE DISCS MSG ME!))
sooo yeah!! ueueue i dont know how to end this... wishing peace and love and f/o kisses for all my moots
#.mei’s chatter ˚༘⋆ ๋࣭ ࣪ ˖#SOB...#slim chance i might make a new blog or something in a few months if i feel better... so if you see me around say hi for sure! :D#but for now im probably just sticking to twitter... its quite fun there#but truly i wish i could give a better reason for leaving - it's nothing that happened or anything like that !#its just an anxiety thing i dont even understand myself... it may be negative associations/memories or something - i can be pretty sensitiv#i think blocking n muting on here doesnt work as well as id personally like it to LOL.#but again it was rly just a culmination of things.. ive also gotten a job + been rlly busy at school !#so ya.... farewell for now!!!! xoxo

thinking about that theory that peekaboo is a sliver of the wight in the locker, and how maybe that means it maintains a sort of connection to the other part and would be able to see part of what it sees and FUCK. FUCK. I JUST REALIZED IT ONLY KNEW HOW TO SAY PEEKABOO WHEN THEY FIRST MET. OVER AND OVER. HIDING ITS FACE WITH LITTLE HANDS. ALMOST LIKE
IT WAS PLAYING HIDE AND SEEK
#I HAD THINGS I WANTED TO SAY. THE CLOWN FLOATING ABOVE THE HALL WHEN WE FIRST MET IT AND THE CLOWN PICTURE IN DAVYS HOUSE#THE VARIOUS SPIDERS AND TERMS LIKE MULTIPLE LEGS AND SPIDERS WEB BEING USED FOR THE WITCH#THE CURTAIN DECORATIONS AND THE WAY THE PTA IS SET UP. THAT BIG RED DEMONY SPIRIT AT THE MEETING AND THE DEVIL PLUSH#BUT NONE OF THAT MATTERS BC WHATEVERS IN THE LOCKER HAS BEEN WATCHING DAVY PLAY W CRYPTIDE FOR YEARS. ALWAYS WANTING TO BE INCLUDED#PARANATURAL#the entire time ive been like. hmmm. interesting. yeah ill subscribe to that theory sure. but WOW that hit me like a ton of bricks holy shi#right. one of the things id wanted to say but forgot was theres a good chance the horror theme it has going on is bc of davy and his life#not bc peekaboo is unwilling to grow past the childish phase. bc it would see that stuff all the time and think well if this is what he#likes then thats what ill keep to make ppl like me. clinging to whatever might make ppl like it and holding onto it tight.#'if i can be what i want... ill be anything you want!'

i truly hate to rant about my current situation rn but
ngl i can feel that this whole period of this semester will be the thoughest one for me in terms of my self financial stability, or honestly saying that this is literally in my lowest point ever rn since it's involving money and it's the most crucial time for me to need it :(((((((
thanks to all you guys, i was able to cover up for my last month's expenses. but right now, i'm still struggling financially to pay for my study fees for this semester and i'm trying to get enough money as possible before january next year, or else i can't able to register for my courses next semester.
i mean i'm trying to looking for some jobs inside my campus but i truly afraid that it might losing my focus on my studies. also i want to consider to find some side income online but ngl i found that almost of it is untrustworthy plus my dad also not very keen about me to do all this kind of jobs 😔😔.
i mean idk but this whole entire thing rn is being fucked off for me personally 💔
#and honestly i really don't want to ask all of you to raise my funds once again because i feel like i'm being a fucking lazy#who don't want to get a job but i just not able to do it because of that reasons#but if it's the only way and my only last chance to make sure all the fees have been paid then ngl i might doing it once again 😢#personal rant#my current situation#mutual aid#financial aid#signal boost#boost

HELP! I've fallen down a Bering and Wells hole again and can't stop watching fanvids. I misssssss them!!! 😢
#I'm also thinking about a platonic Pete & Myka soulmate AU and all the bickering that would come with it#Like Pete trying to feel out what the rules are for him dating someone if she and him are soulmates#and Myka's like 'I literally never want to talk about who you have sex with ever'#“But-” / “NOPE! Just do whatever you want Pete!”#And then later as joke (but delivered completely seriously) she says she wants full approval of any serious relationship he has#And she'll be the one planning the proposal for him#(No no no! That's not happening.)#Actually! She might just play matchmaker for him too because she's not sure she can trust his judgement#... or his ability to make a good first impression.#“You wanted my input remember?” / “Not like that!”#And then even LATER when she meets Amanda for the first time she's like 'Wow that's your ex-wife? Man you really fucked up there."#“Yeah thanks for that Myka. That's very helpful.”#“No chance of winning her back?”#“Winning back my ex-wife who's about to be remarried? No I think that ship has sailed.”#“Yeah.... My ex girlfriend is a hologram now so at least this is a step up from that.”#“I never agreed to HG being your girlfriend.”#“.... Yeah but I wanted to.”#“.... Okay this is getting way too gloomy for a wedding day. We need to stuff ourselves with cake.”#Warehouse 13#Myka Bering#Pete Lattimer#Helena Wells#Bering and Wells#my fic#(I guess accidentally in the tags lol)#(idk I'm tired man. My head is all over the place today :P)

i think that to support Monkie Kid, whenever s5 drops on Happy Kids (if it does), we should attempt to like. crash the app a few times /hj
like. #LMKrash
and we'd do it every Saturday by just. watching all the eps/the favourite eps that are on there.
cause i know most of us watch it through google drives and stuff, and they don't exactly. see our support like that. or at least the big business companies and stuff don't- y'know what i mean
plus this is meant to be Monkie Kid's 5th anniversary season. so. figure we should do something special for it.
#Monkie Kid#lego monkie kid#especially since like. the whole animator strike is coming up i think???#not sure if that would affect Monkie Kid or not but it MIGHT#and in that case we would really need to show our support cause with that + the backlash of changing studios#...the executives could decide to cancel it#we've all seen how horrible Executives have been to cartoons lately. i dont wanna risk it.#and sure it doesn't actually ensure it won't get canceled if it's popular.#but it does increase our chances of that Not Happening by at least a little bit

I just think he's neat!
#mouthwashing spoilers in tags#myart#art#fanart#mouthwashing#curly mouthwashing#scared of being hit with the not vilifying curly enough beam#but like idk#i kinda relate in a fucked up way to him and his people pleasing behavior#not to mention the fact he might have had a plan in mind and was just appeasing Jimmy while the whole crew was stuck on a ship with him#but like never got a chance to make sure Jimmy got the consequences he was supposed to#obviously

i’m sorry but no tardis crew quite lives up to the ‘peter pan and the lost boys’ allegations like team five
#doctor who#the way he’s floating through space and time with a ship full of strays#all orphans or exiles and stowaways#all of them running after someone who didn’t grow up#who shed his last face for something younger and lighter#boyish and bright#but everyone has to leave eventually#both Nyssa and turlough quite literally have to ‘grow up’ - duty calls them to a place where they take responsibility on their own#Tegan realises that life with the doctor is too much - she needs both feet on the ground and one day in front of the other#a life where she is safe#and Adric???? well … he never gets the chance :(#but the doctor has no darlings to go home to#he keeps on running until his curiosity catches up#nearly gets his next stray killed#so he chooses to ‘die’#what an awfully big adventure#I’m not sure that’s quite all of it or all quite right#but i am thinking …. thoughts#this might turn into something hmmmmmm#all doctors have a Peter and Wendy thing going on to some extent#but fivey just …. yes#fifth doctor#5th doctor#Classic who#meta#note here I don’t see regeneration as death as such#just change#five doesnt quite grow up onto six#but boy does he change#I am an 8/charley/never land enjoyer can you tell 😅
