THE LAST OF US

S01E03: Long, Long Time | dir. Peter Hoar

[kaylynn-langerak]

Since I'm seeing the original Steve Buscemi sun post going around again, and this has been sitting in my drafts for over a year, it seems like a good time to actually post it. This project started (in 2021, apparently) because SimNostalgia's sun inspired me to make a Paul Reubens moon, then made my own Steve sun to match. This was originally intended for personal use, and was almost shared last year but got left in drafts and later shared with some Discord friends, but I think the time has come to release these handsome celestial gentlemen into the wild.

Credits:

@simnostalgia for the idea, 100%! ♥

@lowedeus for the default package files I edited to create these.

Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! (S01E03) for the Paul Reubens moon (I literally just cropped and resized a screenshot from the show).

Unfortunately it seems I didn't save the source for the sun image I used, and when I reverse search it now I get mostly various fandom wiki links in lower res, but I'm pretty certain I originally saved it from some "download free pngs" type of site. I put the original unedited image on Imgur, if anyone wants it for anything.

Steve Buscemi and Paul Reubens for their striking visages. ♥

THE LAST OF US S01E03: Long Long Time S01E04: Please Hold My Hand

[youryurigoddess]

Aziraphale’s secret investigation and overlooked Clues

Remember this frame from Good Omens S02E06? Apparently Aziraphale had been using the empty carton box brought by Jim to store things in. It became a new home to at least two out of three “Lost Quartos” — the supposedly lost Shakespeare plays briefly but hilariously mentioned in the Good Omens book — as well as a very mysterious legal document.

Thought probably half of the Good Omens analysts here, including the ever so wonderful @fuckyeahgoodomens, who managed to find some information about the deceased John Gibson from New Cumnock (1855 - 1905).

Unfortunately the most interesting thing about this early 20th century provincial postmaster was his youngest child James (1894 - 1973), a quite famous stage (West End!) and film actor immortalized on screen in The Master of Ballantrae (1962), Witch Wood (1964) and Kidnapped (1963).

After that particular discovery the fandom-wide search seemingly led nowhere and the topic died a premature death.

And I almost figured it out seven months ago.

“But Yuri, you’re so clever. How can somebody as clever as you be so stupid?”, you probably want to shout across a busy London street at this point. Well, let me tell you. Much like Aziraphale, I'm blindingly intelligent for about thirty seconds a day. I do not get to choose which seconds and they are not consecutive.

Only tonight the stars have aligned in an ineffable way.

For those of you who don’t follow this account, some time ago I’ve realized that John Gibson isn’t the only testator whose estate was being investigated by Aziraphale right before The Whickber Street Traders and Shopkeepers Association monthly meeting.

If you watch S2 finale closely enough, you should notice that Crowley not only stress cleans Aziraphale’s bookshop — he also goes through the books and papers on his desk between the last three angels leaving the bookshop and Maggie and Nina’s intervention. A seemingly permanent arrangement of the props post-shooting, visible in detail both on Radio Times tour and SFX magazine photo shoot, sheds even more light on this detail.

The close-ups published after S2 release are legible enough to refer us to a much more prominent historical figure, Josiah Wedgwood (1730 – 1795) — an English potter, entrepreneur and abolitionist. Founding the Wedgwood company in 1759, he developed improved pottery bodies by systematic experimentation, and was the leader in the industrialisation of the manufacture of European pottery.

Long story short, I transcribed the handwritten pages abandoned on Aziraphale’s desk, found out the source and the full text of what could be identified as Wedgwood’s last will and testament, took a walk to visit his Soho workshop, and proceeded to write a lengthy meta analysis about it.

I was today’s years old when I realized that there’s something else connecting those two dead British men.

The Scottish Post Office Directory of 1903 recorded John Gibson from New Cumnock as a “stationer and china dealer” (above) operating from the shop located in the town’s post office building.

Indeed, a close look at his post office shop window in the Henderson Building (below, bottom left) reveals an artful display of fine china and pottery next to postcards printed by Gibson.

There are multiple ways to connect this surprising link with possible S3 plot points, obviously, but it’s getting late, so let’s just name the two most important ones.

You’ve probably heard of the Holy Grail, maybe from Monty Python or Good Omens S01E03 1941 flashback. Depending on the version of the story, if can be a cup, a chalice, a bowl, or a saucer — but almost always a dish or a vessel connected personally, physically and metaphysically to Jesus (unless you’re partial to Wolfram von Eschenbach’s idea that the Grail was a stone, the sanctuary of the neutral angels who took neither side during Lucifer's rebellion).

A slightly more obscure dish related to the Son of God appears in the sixteenth chapter of the Book of Revelation as a vital part of His Second Coming. The Seven Bowls (or cups, or vials) of God’s Wrath are supposed to be poured out on the wicked and the followers of the Antichrist by seven angels:

Then I heard a loud voice from the temple telling the seven angels, “Go and pour out on the earth the seven bowls of the wrath of God.” So the first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and harmful and painful sores came upon the people who bore the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.

The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became like the blood of a corpse, and every living thing died that was in the sea.

The third angel poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of water, and they became blood. And I heard the angel in charge of the waters say, “Just are you, O Holy One, who is and who was, for you brought these judgments. For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink. It is what they deserve!” And I heard the altar saying, “Yes, Lord God the Almighty, true and just are your judgments!”

The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to scorch people with fire. They were scorched by the fierce heat, and they cursed the name of God who had power over these plagues. They did not repent and give him glory.

The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom was plunged into darkness. People gnawed their tongues in anguish and cursed the God of heaven for their pain and sores. They did not repent of their deeds.

The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, to prepare the way for the kings from the east. And I saw, coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs. For they are demonic spirits, performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God the Almighty.  (“Behold, I am coming like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake, keeping his garments on, that he may not go about naked and be seen exposed!”) And they assembled them at the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.

The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, “It is done!” And there were flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, and a great earthquake such as there had never been since man was on the earth, so great was that earthquake. The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God remembered Babylon the great, to make her drain the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath. And every island fled away, and no mountains were to be found. And great hailstones, about one hundred pounds each, fell from heaven on people; and they cursed God for the plague of the hail, because the plague was so severe.

Pedro Pascal as Joel Miller in The Last of Us S01E03: "Long, Long Time"

[thymelessink]

So, as was fairly obvious these last few months: I've been watching Poirot. In English obviously.

But for three weeks now a German tv channel has also been broadcasting the series (again).

And I've used the opportunity to rewatch it with my mum but in German.

And a lot of the time they will translate whatever Poirot said in French in the original.

Today in S01E03, Poirot and Hasting walk through the tunnel and Poirot (in the original) says "Forward, mon brave".

Instead they translated it "Forward, my hero"

And we had to laugh because it was so confusing but also quite cute with Hastings leading the way.

Posting Date: September 6

Summary: It's 2005 when things go to hell. Well. They go to hell for everyone except Dean, ‘cause he was ready for it. Well. He was ready for the apocalypse, not for the gorgeous man who fell into his life, quite literally. OR a Destiel rewrite of Bill and Frank's love story as shown on HBO's 'The Las of Us episode 3: Long Long Time' that uses elements of both universes.

Keep reading for an short excerpt:

It’s late morning and Dean is working on one of the fire-throwing traps that lately has been malfunctioning, when the alarm blares in the bunker because one of the hole traps triggered it. Annoyed, because that means that he has to haul up an infected corpse and he’s really not in the mood, Dean picks his favorite rifle, and walks out of the bunker to kill the son of a bitch.

The incriminated trap is only a five minute walk on the North-East side of camp, and close to that gate as well. At least the asshole had the decency to not make Dean walk for too long out of his safe haven. He shuts off the electricity running through the fence and unlocks the gate to go outside, then locks it behind him.

Dean cocks the rifle and raises it to aim before getting to the hole’s edge, when he hears a desperate voice yelling “Wait! I’m not infected!”

Confused, Dean walks the remaining three steps to see who the intruder is.

To be fair, he doesn’t look infected, no. He just looks like the most beautiful man Dean has ever seen. Dark unruly hair with a little bit of gray at his temples and in his long beard, so he’s probably in his 40s or early 50s. Despite the shadow at the bottom of the hole, the man's blue eyes are shining, adorned by crow’s feet, and the laugh lines in his face are still visible under the beard. There’s also a small wrinkle on his forehead just between his eyes. The past three years surely have given the man multiple reasons to furrow.

After two seconds of stunned silence, Dean wears his angry mask, scowling at the stranger from behind the rifle’s viewfinder. It’s not because he wants to see the man’s eyes better, shut up.

*jazz music plays* Antoinette: *singing* Louis: My new singer. She says she heard about the Azalea all the way in Atlanta. They talkin' about this place in Atlanta! Lestat: Hrm. Louis: ....You're angry. Lestat: I'm pondering.... You're ashamed of what we are. Louis: Maybe I'm just pondering what I am. Lestat: For the infinitesimal time, you're a vampire. Louis: Could you not use that word in my place of business? Lestat: "Place of business." A cover, an illusion to throw off the scent of the dogs. Louis: This "illusion" is frontin' a dozen businesses up and down Claiborne! Lestat: Yes, yes--for every 20 people he kills, he makes one small businessman's dreams come true. Louis de Pointe du Lac, the Dark Prince of Iberville. Louis: I don't wanna kill people anymore. There it is. Lestat: A fish that doesn't swim. A bird refusing to fly. You're going to struggle. Antoinette: I'm Antoinette Brown, and I will be here all night long~!

MY THOUGHTS (mini rant) & CC CREDITS

MY THOUGHTS

I aaaaaalready explained my thoughts about that racist homewrecking heifer Antoinette, and why I changed my mind about not including her in my game now: so I can KILL her. Over and over again. (Case in point, I used Antoinette as my stand-in for the random woman killed at Lovers Lane.)

Like, Antoinette doesn't even exist in the books--AMC gender-bent a male character from the novels who Lestat cheats with instead. And ISTG, AMC thought they were soooo clever making her last name "Brown," then having her walk her white arse into Louis' black-owned brothel and wh*re herself out to his white husband. XD

FIRST DAY on the effing job, and she's already making come-to-me eyes at Lestat! While LOUIS (her EFFING BOSS! His EFFING open-secret HUSBAND!) is sitting RIGHT THERE! TWIIIIICE!

Like is this dirty skank KIDDING ME!?

Lemme calm down--she gets what's coming to her.

Hey, I hope it's cool that I'm messaging you. I saw your post from last year about Aziraphale's exchange with Justine in French, in Good Omens S02E05, and found it really helpful!

I was wondering if you could possibly help with another scene? In S01E03, at the Bastille, there are no subtitles for when Aziraphale is speaking to Jean-Claude the executioner. I looked at the script book and did a reverse translate, but the last sentence Jean-Claude says doesn't seem to reverse translate with what it says in the script book, which is "Now, let us inspect your neck."

Would you mind having a listen and letting me know what he says in French and English, in that last sentence? (Everything else he said either matched up or I was able to translate, like magnifique.)

Thank you!

Hiyah, no problem ! He is indeed saying "Now, let us inspect your neck" : "Examinons maintenant votre cou !" (Rough bad translating would be "Let us examinate now your neck")

Hope it helped you !
