Little sketch I never posted of this character! Scaramouche! I love doing eyes with tiny dots because I don’t know how to draw them otherwise. 🤏📽

I love NEGATIVE LITERATURE. I mean I love when literature is not romanticised or it’s not about how beautiful the nature is , I love it when it is not appreciating the little things, I love it when it is being cruel and unhinged, I love it when literature is not about love stories and lovers and I love it when it is not about good people, I love it when it is not about the stars or the moon or the galaxies but it is about death and how cruel it is, I love Wuthering Heights because I love how cruel Heathcliff was and how it is not a love story but rather it is about damnation and ruin of families and several lives. I love it when in Literature people kill each other cruelly and doesn’t feel any guilt or remorse, that is the true nature of human and I want it to be true and unhinged and I want the sky to be irritated by the stars because it doesn’t alway have to be beautiful and romantic.

I remember not liking Wuthering Heist the first time around but I just rewatched it and it. is. magic. Now I'm going to have to do all the other popular ones I thought were overrated, like Simon Says

I would like to thank the Noel Fielding Wuthering Heights Video for spurring my two month long Kate Bush obsession. Many a jam was discovered

hmm i think im going to listen to wuthering heights by kate bush i sure do hope i dont think about noel fielding in that long brown wig and red lipstick and flowy red dress doing the choreo from the music video during comedy relief 2011 whilst i listen to it (im thinking about it)

Wuthering Heist ! 💋

"A kiss, or are you scared, babe..?"

Ever since I watched this episode, I knew I needed to draw these two guys from here. Bloody hell, Mario is absolutely gorgeous, he deserves a drawing just for himself.

Also, I know neither of them speaks Spanish, but I couldn't help it HAHAH, technically he's asking for a kiss... 💋

I would add a funny quip here but I couldn't get the copyright to a particular Queen song. Anyway, here's your gifs.

Send me an emoji (or a set of emojis) and I'll make a gifset of the character that reminds me the most of that emoji

One thing I love about the harringrove fandom is the agreement both that Steve is dyslexic and Billy is a MASSIVE reader.

Because while Steve’s always been surrounded by teachers or his parents or exes who either believe that he’s incapable of appreciating reading or that he just doesn’t care, Billy thinks that’s bullshit.

Because when Billy gets told to tutor Steve in English, he doesn’t start with a book for toddlers or fucking Shakespeare. They start with Billy reading him Wuthering Heights.

And at first Steve does not fucking get it. He doesn’t understand the plot, the message and especially not the dialect. But he finds himself enjoying it a lot. Billy’s a natural storyteller. He could be on stage.

Billy’s taste in books is both eclectic and weird. He’s reading Finnigan’s Wake for fun. In Irish. He likes Portuguese romance books and German surrealism and a lot of George Orwell. So much so that Steve kind of feels that love rubbing off on him.

He’d used to like reading. Before he was told he was doing it wrong. And even though he despised the books set by Hawkins High with every fibre of his being, there was this fire set in his belly, a want to impress Billy.

So he starts with The Hobbit. Eddie “Freak” Munson’s the only other dyslexic Steve knew and he loved that shit. How hard could it be?

The Hobbit is fucking difficult. It starts with a map, Steve thinks is in Elvish and some of the chapters feel like they go on forever. The words still bounce around the page and switch constantly. He likes it though. It’s weirdly fun as a story and he finds himself rooting for Bilbo.

Henderson can never know. That is the one thing Steve is certain of.

Billy doesn’t laugh when Steve tells him that’s what he’d decided to start with. He just rolls his eyes, not meanly and says he used to read that with his mom. Back in Cali. Before Neil fucked everything up.

Billy reads a lot of Oscar Wilde. The Importance of Being Earnest is constantly tucked into his back, dog eared and well loved. Steve knows enough about Oscar Wilde to know what that indicates.

Billy’s a poof. A faggot. A queer.

Billy is like Steve.

He doesn’t have the courage to look out for anything gay. Nothing even that hints at the matter. Steve knows that his dad has The Iliad tucked away in his office. He’s away on business while his mom sits in the kitchen and complains about America. Even after 15 years in the States, she still misses Poland.

His daring heist after she goes to bed leads to him sitting on the kitchen floor, crying about Achilles and Patroclus. Billy’s right, classics are a fucking bummer.

Steves not as stupid as other people think. He knows that if this were a book, him and Billy are hurtling towards deaths door. Even in real life, he’s seen the guys on tv, worn down to the bone on hospital beds.

Gay does not equal a happy ending.

He resolves to never touch The Iliad again.

Billy comes to their next session with a black eye and his mullet chopped off. They don’t talk about it.

1984 is depressing. And surprisingly apt for how Steve feels that his 1984 has gone. He does feel like he’s constantly being watched. Like being in love is illegal. Like saying anything too far against the government will have consequences.

Steve asks if Billy thinks Orwell wrote 1984 about America or Russia. Billy snorts but doesn’t answer.

That’s the note they end on for the year.

Christmas comes and goes. So does New Year. Two months of not seeing Billy aches in his gut.

Then he comes back.

It’s the middle of February. Billy’s been kicked out for a week. Steves playing nursemaid.

He’s beaten up pretty bad. Still, Billy insists he’s had worse.

Steve hedges around asking why it happened. Like the confirmation might suddenly make the full scope of their plight real.

Still, eventually Steve asks. Billy looks at him like he’s particularly simple.

He’s gay. Obviously Steve. And he actually has the balls to go out there, meet men, dance. Even if it does mean getting caught by Neil.

During his explanation, Steve notices they’ve gotten closer together. Like significantly closer.

They’re grazing hands. Electric.

Then Billy moves.

Billy kisses him and Steve’s world turns into a fucking supernova.

They kiss and it doesn’t make Neil vanish in a puff of smoke, it doesn’t make the shopkeepers who sneer at his mother go away, it doesn’t make Steve magically able to read.

But it does make Steve feel like maybe they’ll survive.

Recommending yo Inside no.9 episodes based on your favorite Hatchetfield musicals

For those unlucky enough to not be familiar with Inside no.9, it's a long running British anthology which could best be billed as a dark comedy. Every episode is written by creators Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith, who also both act in all but 3 episodes.

You can find all the episodes here

I've long thought most Hatchetfield and general Starkid fans would love it, so for those with a particular fondness for that little island town, here are some suggestions

The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals

Sardines (1x1), Private View (3x6), Zanzibar (4x1), Wuthering Heist (6x1) and Paraskevidekatriaphobia (8x3)

Black Friday

Last Gasp (1x4), The Bill (3x2), Diddle Diddle Dumpling (3x5), Simon Says (6x2), Mother's Ruin (8x2)

Nerdy Prudes Must Die

Cold Comfort (2x4), Once Removed (4x3), Tempting Fate (4x6), How Do You Plead? (6x5), Love Is A Stranger (8x4)

While these are my specific suggestions for fans of certain shows, I'd recommend the entire show to basically anyone with even a passing interest in dark media.

❤️ top 5 in9 costumes? AND/OR bc Rasmussen post do you have any headcanons/thoughts about him ☺️

Top 5 costumes (I'm including wigs in this as well). I'm struggling with putting them in the right order, so perhaps just see this as 5 of my favourites rather than my top 5.

5. I know it's kind of cheating, but I love David and Maureen. They're caricatures of themselves. Reece is almost unrecognisable, but still so Reece. Steve's hair's SO bad, the haircutting scene was painfulllll. And because I watched in9 before I watched Psychoville, I had idea about the history of these characters, but immediately had an idea of who they were because of their outfits.

4. Viktor's outfits in Once Removed, man. We get to see his LEGS. I LOVE the pink dressing gown. I love his little blond wiggg. The way the outfits give us all the wrong ideas about who he is and what he's doing there. It's so clearly meant to direct us in a specific direction, just to then pull the rug from under us (pun intended). 10/10 no comments.

3. I fucking LOVE the witch finder outfits man. They both look SO good. Reece's wig is REALLY working for me in that episode. I have nothing to say about how the outfits work for the plot, this is purely cause I think they look hot.

2. So sorry to bring up my boy Ronnie again. I just love him so much. His fucked up lil haircut. The ill fitting zip up. The colour clash of the zip up and whatever he's wearing underneath. The fact that they're kinda fire coloured. It just all fits so well while fitting him so badly.

1. The outfits and masks in Wuthering Heist. They tell you so much about all the characters while simultaneously hiding most of their faces. The pointiness of Reece's mask as opposed to the roundness of Steve's (esp because psychologically we are more likely trust round things over pointy things, but Steve's character is plotting shit and Reece is just living his best Scaramouche life). Steve's silly bow tie and Reece's full army outfit, where again, their personalities are switched around with what we expect.

Good soup.

Current thought about Rasmussen: eyeliner. Just eyeliner. like if you agree.
