prepping for two different vinyl DJ gigs this upcoming weekend on top of my dissertation defense which is a week from monday and of the three events the one in which i have to beatmatch house music is probably going to be the most difficult

[boasamishipper]

Hello! You are my go to expert for Night Court and Dan/Harry, so I would like to ask, which episodes would you recommend watching for particularly shippy Dan/Harry moments or storylines? Thank you <3

i am beyond honored to have been bestowed such a title, thank you nonny! <333

there are so many excellent danharry moments and storylines across all nine seasons, but here are my (very painstakingly selected) top five danharry episodes in chronological order:

1. S3E9-10 The Wheels of Justice (Part 1 + 2)

every time i think about this episode i go fully insane charlie kelly standing in front of the pepe silvia conspiracy board style. admittedly the first episode doesn't give us a lot of danharry content beyond harry smiling super fondly at dan while dan screams at bull's tiny tv, but the SECOND episode. jesus CHRIST. dan talking harry out of his slump in that pool hall........'you were good, harry! very good. you were impartial. you were fair. passionate. compassionate. understanding. and i admired you.'............dan hugging harry after harry apologized and said he would come back to court........the way harry and dan looked at each other after harry's line about taking the good with the bad no matter how bad the bad gets...........dan's smile while harry tells mac that dan is the only reason he left the pool hall..........and then. of course. this.

what is their DEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2. S4E1 The Next Voice You Hear...

'emily,' night court nation says. 'this is not a danharry-centric episode.' you are correct! 'then why is this on your list?' because after harry found out his mother was dead, mac's first instinct was to call dan, and dan dropped whatever he was doing to come and console harry. they're best friends!!!!!!!!! and i cry about it Every Day

3. S4E5-6 Dan's Operation (Part 1+2)

this is THE danharry episode. every other danharry episode go home (except please don't, you're all wonderful). seriously though if someone told me when i first started watching night court that harry would fall asleep on a comatose dan's chest after begging him to wake up (AFTER they had a huge argument earlier in the episode) and dan's first instinct upon waking up is to stroke harry's hair and also Not Move Or Say Anything Because Harry Is Sleeping and THEN they would have ANOTHER argument that ended in both of them saying 'i love you' to each other, i would have died on the spot. and then i watched these episodes and i DID die on the spot. larroquette won his third emmy award for his performance in these eps and it is extremely well deserved.

4. S5E14 I'm OK, You're Catatonic/Schizophrenic

a danharry episode that raises more questions than it answers. what do you mean dan just randomly took a nap on harry's conference table. what do you mean dan kidnapped mel torme for harry. what do you mean dan said re: his kidnapping of mel torme '[harry's] gonna kiss me on the lips for this'. what do you MEAN dan handcuffed mel torme to a chair using 'a trick harry taught him' with 'magic shackles' that HE KNOWS CHAFE and WHAT DO YOU MEAN HARRY DOESN'T EVEN HAVE MAGIC SHACKLES AT ALL. SO WHAT WAS DAN TALKING ABOUT. someday i will get a ouija board so i can talk to reinhold weege from beyond the grave and ask him hey man!!! what was up with this episode!!!!!!!!! and also harry destroying dan's car in retaliation for dan accidentally destroying his mel torme record collection (on top of harry strangling dan upon receiving the news and also screaming I'M GOING TO EAT THAT MAN'S EYEBROWS) is proof that these two match each other's freak like no one else and that's why they should be endgame, thank you and good night.

5. S5E22 + S6E1-2 Danny Got His Gun (Parts 1-3)

1980s sitcoms were operating on a whole other level because if even an iota of this plotline happened to one of my otps on any of my currently airing shows the entire fandom would burst into flames. dan is presumed dead!!! his plane goes down north of hudson bay!!! and harry is the first one to receive the news!!! and the first one to receive further telegrams from the army and also dan's belongings!!! in his will dan left harry his 'heartfelt gratitude'!!! harry had to plan dan's memorial service!!! he had to write dan's eulogy!!! he had to sit there and watch everyone in attendance including the funeral director (barring roz) not be able to say a single nice thing about his best friend!!! then said best friend CRASHES HIS OWN MEMORIAL SERVICE!!! dan is alive!!! he has a beard!!! he smells awful!!! which i will maintain to my last breath is the only thing that prevented harry from kissing the breath out of dan right there in the funeral home!!! they!!! looked!!! at!!! each!!! other!!! like!!! this!!!

LIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

okay i guess i'm doing this lol. who wants to place bets that the word count on this video essay will end up being more than my actual dissertation

[respectthepetty]

How'd you end up here?

"What show was THE show that started you on this journey into Asian queer media?" I'll go first:

Korea's 2007 The 1st Shop of Coffee Prince - An irresponsible bachelor pretends to be gay so he can avoid blind dates arranged by his grandma. He hires a deliveryman to be his lover, not knowing that she is actually a woman.

It's not gay, but it kind of is... *shrugs in confusion*

Because the lead is having a gay crisis for the first twelve episodes of the show believing that he is truly falling for a guy. *idiot*

Like, being kind of creepy, gay crisis *super creepy*

And then was VERY upset when he found out she was a woman *strange amount of anger*

Which made it easier to cheer for the second lead because he was very cool and gave the "you dress tomboy-ish and I like it" energy *they were already living that rainbow life!*

Well, until this woman in the white entered the picture, who both male leads were in love with

*that person who looks like they crawled out of The Ring is our female lead who is trying to hide that she is actually a woman from her boss (the first male lead) even though she is on a date with the second male lead who is trying to make that woman in white jealous* MESSY!

But in the end, everything ended well, and the male lead successfully got his not-a-guy lover

And was very happy and out about it

is there a way we can read your dissertation, dear one?

oh, you’re very kind to ask!! i’m afraid i’ve become more uncertain about posting excerpts here since i heard that people might have been stealing my new labour edits. not that i think they’d do the same to my dissertation— after all, it’s on shakespeare and marlowe, not blair and brown— but it has made me realise more clearly how protective i am of it. it’s so much more valuable than any tumblr webweave, of course, not only because it’s a piece of academic writing and a hefty one at that, but because i worked so hard on researching and writing it, and the idea of putting any of it somewhere i know a thief might operate has made me…. leery of posting it, to say the least. it’s perhaps the piece of work i’m proudest of, and it contains research that i’d like to build upon over the rest of my academic career. and needless to say the consequences of it getting stolen would be more significant, too. i’ve sent copies of it to some trusted friends who have requested to read it, and i’m always happy to discuss it, but i do want to keep the actual work safe. this might sound a tad absurd, i don’t know. but i hope you understand

really missing my ex today who I can’t and shouldn’t go back to 🫠

[the-casbah-way]

i am so so fucking exhausted the urge to just stay in bed and sob is calling me but i must prevail because i have three days to work through a twenty five page bibliography and then write four thousand words on a topic i’ve never studied in my life let’s go

[sickgraymeat]

Modern human au bubbline adopt a pet and can’t agree on a name bc all of Bonnie’s are like Fancy Guy the Tuxedo Cat and all of Marcy’s are like Gloopy or smth

[leonardcohenofficial]

writing the phil ochs chapter is ultimately the culmination of years of intense research and deep love for his work and i will feel really proud once it's finished but man it is probably the most emotionally exhausting part of the entire dissertation just because it's. extremely heavy lmfao

[ddelline]

things I've researched and somewhat learned of through writing cv/sm aka time loop!fic

the concept and counting of international atomic time

planck time

sliding mode control

newcomb's paradox

the alcubierre metric/drive

closed timelike curves

the equation/formula for conditional probability

quantum suicide/quantum immortality and the many-worlds interpretation

[rosaaeles]

everything will be going fine and then i remember the sheer amount of uni work i have due in january that i haven’t started yet and i actually feel like i’m going to throw up

[justabigassnerd]
