dream boy, jackie deshannon (1965, 1994).

A (somewhat) genuine “What your favourite hermit says about you” chart because my joke one was so popular

Obvious disclaimer: do not take too seriously! these aren’t necessarily true! this is like 50% a joke! i mean everything here positively!

i am still right though. anyways let me know who you are I’m a zed fan

There’s something about the fact that the first time gem didn’t immediately chase pearl away or continue the fake drama is when pearl literally couldn’t respond in a way that makes sense.

Gem had an amicable conversation with her when she could control the narrative, and in fact in her video she cut out a lot of their conversation with Pearl.

It’s interesting to see what kind of narrative Gem is painting from her POV. It doesn’t even seem to be justifying her actions it just frames it in a different light.

was thinking about why the fandom focuses on callum's devotion to rayla more so than the other way around - even if they're equally nuts in a lot of ways and i do think the focus is 60/40 - and i think a lot if is really comes down to callum just being 'easier' to love than rayla like, objectively, especially in arc 1.

he's sweet and goofy and emotionally open, he can be insecure and get stuck in his head but that's very internal, he makes mistakes but never anything too major, at most interpersonal relationship wise he can be a bit pushy or momentarily cruel, he's a prince and wanted peace with the elves from the start, he never really causes massive disasters and when he does there was a 50-50 chance it was going to work out anyway or if he is taking a massive risk, thus far it's really only involved risking himself.

he's cute and caring and has never really broken her heart (as she maintains hope even throughout his bouts of cold shoulder in s4). of course she loves him. of course she'd risk everything and anything for him. and even in arc 2 when he's being cold, he's still caring and still knows when to step in and support her

rayla is like... a much more 'difficult' character and person from the start. she lies repeatedly, especially to cover up her failures, she can swagger without actual substance, she's snarky and stand offish and can be snappish. she breaks at the worst of times and often leads to other people being put at risk. she abandons him and breaks his heart. she showed up threatening to kill him. she blew up their lives together and repeats the same mistakes over and over again.

on a surface level and on an interpersonal level, she's far more of an overt piece of work, whereas callum's nastiness comes out more sparingly and is more hidden under the surface; it's not always so apparent. but rayla's typically is, she is a moonshadow elf who fundamentally cannot hide her flaws even when she's trying to so hard

and callum loves her anyway.

he's endeared by the snark, he persists past the standoffish, she pushes him away and he keeps coming back to try and help her, he gets angry but he ultimately (and always rather quickly) forgives her, he's had multiple people telling him that she's bad and cannot/should not be trusted and just flat out doesn't listen to them, because he believes so fundamentally in her goodness, even or especially when she doesn't believe in it because of all the reasons above. he knows she can be difficult and he either doesn't care or loves her not in spite of those things but because of those things. and that's what's so appealing about that aspect of their dynamic.

callum is a wonderful walk in the park when it comes to catching feelings with only a few hiccups, and so often rayla is a ditch with spikes, and callum just goes "challenge accepted" every time (and succeeds) because he knows/believes that she's worth it (and he's right)

SLAMS DOOR OPEN hello!!! I hear you're looking for lil ficlet ideas!!

I would love to see your take on jimmy and grians relationship 👀👀👀 I simply wish there was more content of them in the world (shippy or non-shippy!!)

If u would like any additional prompts maybe the aftermath of grian taking jimmy out in wildlife????

No pressure at all if the thought doesnt appeal to you, saluting you so much as a fellow traveller on the writing strugglebus right now. GOOD LUCK!!! <3

Hi Theo!! Welcome in, please have a seat! :D

as for Jimmy & (/) Grian I totally agree, I love their dynamic so much!! Time to be the change we want to see in the world XD

Take my hand, we will get through this rough patch together!! <3333

I haven't actually finished either of their WL POVs (Blasphemous as a self-proclaimed Jimmy Main, I know) so IDK how well I can touch on that one, but I did see that clip of Grian joining their phasmo thing late that's floating around and I lost my mind. Have this modern au?? Phasmo au??? IDK but here you go!

Grian sank deeper into the couch cushions, watching some rerun of an ancient Top Gear episode on the TV in front of him. The sound is so low it might as well be muted in favor of listening to Jimmy off in the kitchen, rummaging around in cupboards as they waited for Joel to arrive.

On the screen, Hammond spun out just in time for Jimmy's voice to peak, some offended crescendo about the story he was telling. Something about someone at work.

For the first time in days, Grian felt his lungs fill, untrapped by the vice of panic or stress. He made some sort of noise in response to Jimmy asking if he could believe all of that. He tried to focus on the words, knowing that Jimmy would be more offended at him not listening than he had been at the lady in his story, but relaxation was stealing over him in waves, pulling the steel and the energy from his limbs the longer he sat there.

Jimmy's voice was much closer when he snorted, placing down a mug on the table in front of Grian. He didn't remember telling him what he wanted in his tea, but the label that spun in front of them was his favorite brew. Warmth steeped through him.

"Budge up," Jimmy said, the words floating down through the syrup of Grian's mind instead of crashing through and jarring him back to consciousness. He shuffled back into a mostly upright position, "are you falling asleep on me?"

“No,”Grian scoffed, leaving Jimmy more than enough time to settle in before he slid sideways again so that he could lean heavily on Jimmy’s shoulder. He hooked a grin up at him. “Now I’m falling asleep on you.”

“You utter-I'm not that boring, am I?” Jimmy groused, reaching for the remote. Grian kicked at the coffee table with his foot, scooting it enough that the remote was out of reach.

“As boring as you always are,” Grian said, if only because he couldn’t seem to untangle the emotions caught in the warm mixture in his chest, at least not in a way where he could pull them apart and explain them to Jimmy. “Maybe I’m just tired,” he said, trying to call up a haughty tone, “maybe it’s got nothing to do with you.”

Jimmy grumbled something more under his breath, but shifted so that Grian was resting comfortably at his side, instead of just smushed against him.

"Go on, then,” Jimmy said, settling back against the armrest so they were both halfway to horizontal. “Joel can wake us up when he gets here.”

Grian hid a smile against Jimmy’s shoulder.

“Glad you see things my way.”

chat I’m so close to re reading tots and watching the movie again it’s like clawing at my brain I need madrigal content

[the-gayest-show]

it took me a rewatch of the 2 part time police special to realize IT FUCKIN LOOPS???? THE 2ND PART ENDS WITH A BRIEF ZOOM OUT TO THE VERY FIRST FEW FRAMES OF THE FIRST PART OF THE TIME POLICE SPECIAL???? LIKE. TIME POLICE LOOPS ITSELF??? BECAUSE OF THE RIP IN THE TIME CONTINUM THAT THE WARDEN CAUSES????? WHAT????

time police special is very peak <3

yapping under the cut

one of the funniest things i have re-remembered is that apparently if the warden isn't there a lot of things happen:

jared takes odd jobs bc he's so average like that but that guy went thru it. grey hair and the works what is WRONG with bro

jailbot is a ""model"" for like, "the future" or whatever. worse than jared in terms of humiliation status. bro does NOTHING. and gets pelted on by children yeah no wonder he skinned one alive briefly that boy was a bitch.

alice is some kind of porn star but then gives up? nothing goes harder than exploiting inmates ig

the twins.... dawg what did that guy mean by "tasteful nudity" what the FUCK happened over there. the implications are not looking bright no matter how you face it. "we do not want to talk about it" yeah i sure as fuck thought so like the condition they came back in???? what happened indeed..... i have theories but i'll save your conscience from that

superjail becomes this odd society where birds crossbreed with humans (that little fucking bird [that is usually a side character with this one man] started it all. what the fuck. who decided "yeah great idea to restart this society i will fuck this bird and let it get pregnant and give birth" like it's so fascinating but horrifying). and this entire society is this warden-worshipping utopia where they treat warden and his crew like god and angels. it was so weird.

gotta love several jokes in time police too like cmon. "don't touch yourself!" my mind went there and i laughed.

also that stupid time police jingle is such a vibe like "hey. WAIT! you cannot escape! NEVER RUN AWAY FROM THE TIME POLICE, YOU WILL NOT SURVIIVE!!!!"

love the time police geenrally bc those dudes are ROCKING OUTTTTT they sing with their words!!!

gotta say the visuals in this episode were truly inspired to be drugs bc of how color and how wonky they are. the timejail is so cool in concept. it's filled with nightmares and weird ass creatures. it's a forever jail for people about to commit crime but haven't done it yet.

Every year for the month of October I make a movie calander- one horror movie a day, every day, for the entire month. My problem now, is that after three years of doing this- I'm starting to..... well, run out isn't the right way to put it... but it's starting to feel like I've seen most of the big hitters.

So the question I'm throwing out there is:

Fans of horror, what movies would you reccomend for this year's October watch?

I'm looking for anything and everything. I will watch silent black and white films. I read subtitles and I'm not opposed to hunting down a niche foreign horror/thriller. PLEASE DO NOT GIVE SPOILERS I would like to go into the movies blind (trigger warnings are very welcome, though)

This video came up on my feed and the reviewer summed up You’re Losing Me as “you gotta let her know, are you in and ready to fix this shit, or are you out, so she can move on?” And I think that’s just like, the most succinct yet complete picture of the song and Joever that I’ve seen in the last year

[kohakhearts]

when i was younger and more inspired i used to do this thing where id just put two characters together Because I Could, in a like “put random characters names on a dart board and fire til i hit two or more that Might be interesting” kind of way. in the true spirit of Shipping, i would then lovingly craft an alternate universe in which they got enough time on screen together to become an item—realistically, that is. whatever that means. anyway i need to channel this energy again i think itd be good for me

Inspector Morley, Late of Scotland Yard, Investigates: The Case of the Scarlet Letters (1.3, WGN-TV, 1952)

"Mr. Mullins, I have in my possession sixty-eight letters, none of which has begun to outlive its usefulness. I'm quite prepared to admit that blackmail is risky, but then murder has its disadvantages too - that is why I gave up murder."
