#VILLANELLE & DANIEL.

"Hacks" // "Grace and Frankie" // "Killing Eve"

A Villanelle, Daniel post-KK3:

It was my fault. I should have known.

Should have listened to my Sensei.

I won’t tell. Deal with it alone.

He was my secret, all my own.

His smile across my lips would play.

It was my fault. I should have known.

In my dreams, even taller grown,

He makes me bleed, kisses it away.

I won’t tell. Deal with it alone.

The wood was so hard, more like stone.

He was hard — his hands and what he’d say.

It was my fault. I should have known.

He’s in me now, down to the bone,

Can’t uproot him, try as I may.

I won’t tell. Deal with it alone.

Look, I’ve got this, no need to moan.

Daniel, c’mon. Gotta face the day.

It was my fault. I should have known.

I won’t tell. Deal with it alone.

thank u k*lling *ve for my new about page quote for dan ...

[tuppencetrinkets-a]

    @voxmcrtuis liked for a starter from villanelle.

        “I think -- I think you are a very interesting man, Daniel -- it is okay if I call you Daniel, yes?  I’ve read about you, you see.  All about you.  Your schooling, your family, the many times you should’ve died but didn’t -- excellent job by the way, makes you worth so much very more than most to make dead -- all of these many, many cases that you have solved that should’ve been unsolve-able... Is that a word?  Unsolve-able?  It doesn’t seem like a real, proper word.”   A sharp crunch, as she bit into one of the carrots that she’d dragged out of her bag, set on the table on Betty beside the large, but not too large handgun resting near her other hand, splayed idly across the surface of the table, tap, tap, tapping idly in random patterns against the well worn polished surface.  “I think there are not enough interesting people in the world, Daniel.   What a boring place this world is, already, why -- why would someone want to deprive me of someone so interesting -- someone so much like me?  I think -- do you know what I think, Daniel?”  The carrot wagged in his direction.  “I think someone is tired of you putting that very large --”  A pause, a smirk toying at the corners of her thin lips for a moment as her gaze wandered over him at length before drifting back up towards his face.  “Brain of yours to work solving things they do not wish solved, hm?  I think, this is a very likely reason why someone would want you to be no more.  Fin.  Rest in pieces, feed the fishes -- “

Eve: I should have done this when we first met

Me: Uh girl you tried, remember, you tried really hard, you showed up at the hotel with a bunch of Storm Troopers and felt out where Villanelle was with your magic gaydar and then you two had weird proxy sex through the door (?) Or something? And we all had to watch but then Villanelle jumped through the window in her velvety horsey suit and galloped her fine ass away from you like she always does and you threw a goddamn unprofessional fit in the hotel room and drank a $20 mini bottle of Jack Daniels from the minibar yeah if I remember correctly lol "I should have done this" oh please girl

[warningsine]

[chainofclovers]

Last week I watched the first episode of Mythic Quest and (*whispers*) I didn’t think it was funny? It reminded me too much of the feeling of having a coworker who knows he’s annoying but finds it amusing, multiplied by the entire workforce. I also watched the first episode of Avenue 5 and found it unamusing for basically the same reasons.

But really, my problem isn’t with these shows; my problem is that I’ve watched a bunch of television full of the SOARING FEELINGS OF QUEER INTIMACY AND FOUND FAMILY and now that’s basically a requirement for feeling engaged with something I watch? Doesn’t matter the genre, I just need it to do its thing well while exploding the concept of intimacy in an absolutely pitch-perfect way for each character, giving them little glimpses of what they just might need until they can’t imagine living without the experience of knowing and being known!

And now I can’t pay attention to what I’m watching unless it includes...

Grace and Frankie pining for each other and only halfway articulating it to the point that I’m yelling WHAT THE FUCK at the screen like they’re gonna hear me

Ted and Rebecca hugging each other outside the gala, then snapping out of it to turn down a ride from a rickshaw driver who Jason Sudeikis later described as an ANGEL offering to take away the king and queen

Medium-term miserable (but motivated in a Gen Z way!) Ava Daniels and long-term miserable (but in a misery-rejecting Boomer way!) Deborah Vance realizing they are nothing short of creative soulmates who are literally brought to tears by the realization the other thinks she’s funny

The dramatic irony of Ana not remembering she kissed Mariana when she was on drugs at the club because they live in a beautiful soap opera

The Derry girls making it very clear to James that he is, in fact, a Derry girl

Eve Polastri only being able to imagine Villanelle when she tries to conceive of a future for herself

Basically every single thing that happens to Áine and Shona and their friends and family in every frame of the show and probably all the stuff that ended up on the cutting room floor, too

Doctor Manhattan entering Angela’s timeline in Vietnam

Fleabag staring into the camera

So as you can see it’s extremely easy to keep me compelled and invested! Just be excellent, unique, hilarious, and full of subtle parallels and transcendent moments of human connection!

(Also, if you made it through this post and you have your own bulleted list of things that make you feel the way my bulleted list makes me feel, you should totally leave me recommendations in the comments.)

What am I looking forward to?

I get asked what I’m looking forward to in terms of entertainment as 2021 trundles along. I thought I’d put together a list of my thoughts of the things I have marked on my calendar (or am prepared to buy, as the case may be!)

Klokkenluider, The Sandman, The War Rooms: Obviously I’d be failing at my duty to not include Jenna Coleman’s trio of upcoming projects! I have a confession - I’ve yet to watch all of The Serpent, too. Hoping for a DVD or (even better) Blu-ray release of that later in the year too. UK has one already. Netflix does release many of its shows to permanent media so hopefully The Serpent will be one of them (ditto Sandman and War Rooms down the line).

Free Guy: the much-delayed video game-based film starring Ryan Reynolds and Jodie Comer. Reminds me of Ready Player One, which was one of my favourite films of the last few years. And it’s the first leading film role for Jodie Comer from Killing Eve and it looks like she might be playing a nerdy version of Villanelle (without all the murdery sociopathic stuff; at least, I assume!). 

No Time to Die: Some aspects of the trailers have me concerned, and whenever I hear people talk about “new directions” I get antsy because that rarely ends well. But this is Bond and while there has been the occasional poor 007 film in the past (A View to a Kill and Quantum of Solace are the only Bond films I dislike and avoid; not a bad ratio out of 25) the odds of me liking it are pretty good (hell, I even consider Spectre to be one of the best Bonds ever, and I know that’s unpopular opinion). I was concerned about Phoebe Waller-Bridge being one of the writers due to my opinion that Fleabag is overrated (I know, another unpopular opinion), but that was before I saw her work on Killing Eve. If she brings some of that spirit to the film, it’ll work. Some of the things people are complaining about don’t bug me, especially regarding the 007 designation which belonged to somebody else before the events of the 2006 Casino Royale film and in all likelihood they’ll reboot continuity with whoever follows Daniel Craig anyway so none of that matters. They could kill Bond off and it wouldn’t make a difference.

Lower Decks Season 2: Speaking of unpopular opinion, Season 1 was one of the most pleasant surprises of last year. I think the backlash against Lower Decks is primarily a case that, for many fans, their dislike and disappointment of the current state of the franchise is so high that even if they do something good, it’s rejected automatically. I’ve given up on Discovery, have little interest in Picard (I had good things to say about it last year but it’s not aged well) and don’t care to see Strange New Worlds. So I was prepared to pooh-pooh on Lower Decks (I could have worded that a bit more elegantly; I dedicate that to Seth McFarlane) but, while it’s obviously a non-canon spoof, it still feels like Trek, which I cannot say for the current live-action shows. Basically that means it’s The Orville done for Star Trek. Which is fine, because it works better than Discovery’s and definitely Short Trek’s attempts at Orvilling (which in my opinion was about as entertaining as gerbilling - did I type that out loud?). And I think Beckett Mariner is the most interesting lead character of a Trek series in years. Speaking of The Orville...

The Orville Season 3: It’s in Red Dwarf territory right now in terms of it taking forever between seasons, and I am worried that being on Hulu might make it too edgy and turn away the many who latched onto it because Discovery was too edgy. But I have faith in Seth McFarlane, so eventually we’ll see it. If not, maybe I’ll give Avenue 5 a shot. Oh, and I am expecting Season 3 to be the end. It feels like getting it made - even taking C19 into account - was very difficult this time around and McFarlane sounds like he has a lot on his plate. If it does end, I hope somebody continues it in novel or comic book form (the comics have been incredible - seriously some of the best tie-ins I’ve read in years, and they’re canon too apparently thanks to being written by the show’s producer).

Magnum PI Season 4: It’s a sweet show and I watch it for the Magnum-Higgins ship (which is currently following the Clara-Danny trajectory). And I keep hoping co-star Perdita Weeks is able to recruit BFF Jenna Coleman to appear someday. So there’s that.

Legends of Tomorrow Season 7 and the conclusion of Supergirl Season 6. Another unpopular take is I happen to really like these two CW shows. Supergirl is calling it a day after 6 seasons, with the final season split into two parts, with the second half airing later this summer. Legends is still midway through S6 but has been renewed for a 7th. Both are fun, with Legends literally being the only show on TV that is legitimately unpredictable (seriously, this past week was a riff on Baby Yoda of all things - and no, Beebo was a riff on Furby. Different merch magnet, pay attention.), plus it’s most likely (IMO) the reason why John Constantine the character is unavailable for The Sandman series (which opened the door for Jenna Coleman to be cast as his ancestor Johanna, which is fine by me!).

Killing Eve Season 4: obviously. It’s only because of Jenna Coleman that you’re not getting wall-to-wall Jodie Comer on this blog. If she and Jenna are ever cast together in anything, I might need to call an ambulance.

Peter Capaldi’s debut album. It’s about time! No it’s not, that would be silly. And I don’t want to thank C19 for creating the circumstances that led to Peter doing a record. But still - a Peter Capaldi album is coming. It just better not be digital-only. I want to see him on the New Release rack at Sunrise Records.

So looks like I have a lot of stuff to occupy my time coming up!

tagging @earthbendcrs @anakinskyiwalker @sleepsongs @binickmiller @newgenesis @bihunnicutt @hopefulbeautifulfool and anyone else who wants to do it :)

otps:

peggy carter and daniel sousa from agent carter because it’s about the inherent eroticism of “i can’t let myself have feelings for you because everyone i love ends up dead and i cannot lose you too” and it’s about the inherent eroticism of “i know you feel that it’s just you against the world but it doesn’t have to be” and it’s about the inherent eroticism of “i haven’t really trusted anyone in years but despite myself i trust you” and it’s about the inherent eroticism of “to save you i would let the world burn” and it’s about the inherent eroticism of “i certainly don’t need anyone but that doesn’t mean i’m not better with you” and it’s about the inherent eroticism of “i don’t think I’ll ever be good enough for you so i’m going to let you live your life without me even if it kills me” and it’s about the inherent eroticism of “i can see that you’re happy without me and i’m happy that you’re happy even if my heart is breaking” and it’s about the inherent eroticism of mutual pining and friends to lovers and power couples and it’s about the inherent eroticism of “nothing to say? no quick comeback?” and it’s about the inherent eroticism of “good point"

william murdoch and julia ogden from murdoch mysteries because they’re stupid and i love them. they’ve been an otp of mine since middle school

amy pond and rory williams from doctor who because they literally invented romance. adventuring in space and time together? check. waiting for each other for years and decades and millennia? check. actually dying for each other? check, but it’s okay because it was in a paradox alternate timeline so they’re fine. childhood besties to lovers? check. they’re the best i love them

and several other faves right now include tony stark and pepper potts from the mcu, han solo and leia organa from star wars, and eve polastri and villanelle astankova from killing eve!

now the notps... listed below the cut!

rey and kylo ren from star wars because yeah

luther hargreeves and allison hargreeves from the umbrella academy because yes they aren’t biological siblings but y’all they were raised as siblings, and the fact that this comes from the same people that brought us such quality ships as klaus/dave, diego/lila, allison/ray, and vanya/sissy mind-boggles me

bruce banner and natasha romanoff from the mcu because aou was kind of a clusterfuck in general and in my opinion this was a bit unnecessary

but with the exception of really obviously NOPES (like st*rker), there isn’t a whole lot else i’m that against. there are definitely ships, though, where i’m either like “meh” (i feel as though the who fandom is going to crucify me for this but tenrose never really did it for me. ninerose, on the other hand, can have a few rights as a treat) or where i liked them at first and then the writing killed them for me later on (rest in peace, tfa!steggy, you were great and then the russos got you)
