I was looking for the other photos from this specific photoshoot and came across this interview Glenn did with GQ way back in 2009:

this picture is making me lose my mind why are they doing the anime girl pout

Cursed-Cat and Mouse | Uncle Alastor & Cursed Cat Alastor HC's

Familial! Alastor is Reader's Uncle

Description: A strange cat pops up at the hotel one day and begins terrorizing everyone; especially a certain mouse

(Notes: CW Alastor, death, violence) (gender neutral reader) (Reader is Alastor's niece/nephew/whatever term you prefer) (Reader is blind) (Reader is a mouse sinner)

Words: 979

❀ These headcannons are related to One Blind Mouse, a little oneshot I wrote! A friend of mine said 'if you're going to have a mouse reader you need to involve Cursed Cat Alastor' so here were are! ❀

♡ Considering Alastor literally had a niece/nephew/etc who was a mouse, no one expected him to get a pet cat

♡ And to be honest, neither did he

♡ No one knows how or why the cat showed up, it just appeared one day and they couldn't get rid of it so it lives at the hotel now

♡ Everyone calls it 'cursed cat Alastor' because it apparently looks just like your uncle but he refuses to admit the truth of that name so he just calls it a vermin

♡ When the cat first showed up, you were terrified

♡ You thought your uncle Al had finally gotten tired of carrying you around in his pocket and had decided to do away with you when you heard the meow of a cat in the lobby

♡ So when the cat stopped and noticed you there was a good five seconds where you both just froze; you out of fear and it out of who-knows-what-emotion 

♡ Then you took off running and, naturally, it chased you

♡ You probably ran all through the hotel (luckily you knew the place well enough not to bump into anything), shouting for your uncle, before he finally appeared and was surprised to see the little creature had no cornered you 

♡ He thought it was a prank on your part at first. Even in life, you'd always loved to pull tricks like this. But when he noticed the cat literally salivating over you he finally reached down and grabbed it by the scruff of its neck; letting out a hum of curiosity

♡ You climbed up Alastor's suit to take your place safely in his pocket as he debated what to do with it and that was when everyone else came into the room, witnessing the scene

♡ Angel thought it was hilarious, Husk was as unamused as ever, Sir Pentious teared up at its cuteness, Nifty was distracted by some nearby bugs, and Charlie was so excited by the little creature that Vaggie had to hold her back from running over and grabbing it

♡ Charlie, loving the fact that the cat looked exactly like Alastor, insisted they keep it, to your dismay

♡ She listened to your concerns though and promised she wouldn't let it hurt you and that they'd train the cat

♡ She even got a little collar with a bell for the thing so you could more easily hear it when it was coming

♡ For the first week, you lived in absolute fear

♡ You refused to leave Alastor's pocket for anything except the few times he actually slept at night when you would bury yourself in his hair for protection

♡ For some reason, he and the cat really hated each other. Whenever he came near it, the thing would his and bat at him, earning an angry smile from him in response

♡ He tried to kill it several times through mysterious circumstances but to no avail. Somehow, the cat would evade his traps every single time; as if it simply couldn't be killed

♡ Finally, there was a day where you simply couldn't be in Alastor's pocket and he had to leave you behind at the hotel

♡ You were both devastated and terrified as your uncle left but Sir Pentious promised you he'd have the egg boys protect you until he came back

♡ They did a good job for about ten minutes but then they got distracted and suddenly you were left alone with the cat in the same room as you

♡ You froze as you heard it come over to you, fully expecting to be eaten right there and then. But to your surprise, it started purring and nuzzling against your tiny body. You reached up to pet its ears and then suddenly it didn't seem so scary anymore

♡ Imagine Alastor's surprise when he returned to the hotel later that day to find you curled up on the couch with the cat; fast asleep as you lay against its side. It was wide awake, though, with its eyes looking in opposite directions and everything

♡ After that Alastor almost wished the cat would have attacked you instead

♡ He could not get you away from the thing; no one could. It became like your little bodyguard; always around you as it protected you from any impending danger

♡ Charlie thought it was sweet but your uncle Al did not appreciate having his role as your protector be called into question like that

♡ You rode the cat around like it were a horse, you slept on its warm and soft belly, you let it lead you around like some kind of service animal, you took care of it and made sure its fur was always pristine despite it being the most cursed being the hotel had ever seen (in Alastor's opinion)

♡ He would never admit to being jealous of a literal cat but he was jealous of a literal cat; especially because it resembled him so much

♡ But since you loved the cat so much he had to put up with it

♡ The only time Alastor approved of your little bodyguard was when Lucifer visited the hotel

♡ Before, Lucifer would make a big show out of offering to become your uncle too, which Charlie was always happy about since she wanted a cousin. The king of hell liked you as much as everyone else at the hotel, and he especially liked making your uncle jealous the way he'd once done with Charlie

♡ But now that the cat was around it wouldn't even let Lucifer near you

♡ As much as the thing hated Alastor, it seemed to hate Lucifer even more so gone were the days where he could swoop in and offer to be your new uncle or put you on his hat and fly around like before

♡ Alastor supposed the cat was good for something, after all 

[keen-eye]

you know what would be so meta and funny (to me at least)

if in pac-man fever when charlie tells sam and dean that she read the supernatural books she also said she read fan forums and that apparently a lot of the audience really dislikes sam lmao. he’s already one of the most tragic characters ever for his treatment in universe (which i love) and out of universe (which i hate). let’s just amp it up because there’s no winning for him anyway

imagine if sam knew that the audience prefers dean and even supports his abuse of sam because dean is ultimately always viewed to be in the right. on top of knowing that the prophet/later-revealed-to-be-god chuck that literally wrote the story of their lives is unsympathetic to him and also prefers dean. for good measure, i want to rewrite the french mistake and have the writers giggle about how they’re going to torture sam next because they and the audience think he deserves it. and make it so au jared knows about it too. let sam be repeatedly and mercilessly brutalized to an extremely comical degree because it’s entertaining to everyone in and out of universe. but he’s aware of this now and yet he still remains kind-hearted through it all because that’s what makes it so ludicrous and fun. make him think “it can’t get any worse than this” but it absolutely does.

keep the momentum of sam wanting nothing but to be good but have everyone else always treat him like he’s the problem. turn the truman show into the sam show. have single episode side characters break the fourth wall because their hate for sam is so strong just by being around him. make it extremely obvious that sam does nothing to warrant this and that he’s being gaslit in and out of universe. he can be aware of how strange this all is and wonder if he’s actually insane but the scene needs to change quickly so he doesn’t have time to fully deal with it because hurry sam there’s more pressing matters!! have him try to bring it up to other characters but they immediately change the subject until sam lets it go

have it be a social experiment, write dean to be even worse than he already his, more psychopathic super villain, see how far it can go before people turn on him (we all know they won’t). in each episode near the end have sam begin to truly realize that he needs to escape, but have him die a random death like in mystery spot which resets him for the next episode. the audience can even vote for what it will be each time. it’s cathartic for them. dean lets this happen because he needs his sammy to stay with him. keep the ending the same. sam marries his blurry wife and names his son dean jr, then sam joins dean in heaven for all eternity. don’t ever let him be free.

Hudson and Rex S06E15

So, as I’m sure a lot of people have already figured out, we just watched the intended season finale. CityTV, you better hope I never get to cross that ocean. I mean, every season finale aside from the two where Peter Mitchell was in charge (coincidence?) were run of the mill episodes which could have fit anywhere in the season. Maybe it will be fitting for this season to start and end with viewers wondering what they watched. But I’m getting ahead of myself here and I might be wrong. Let’s focus on 15 which may very well be the best episode of the season for me, probably tied with S06E04.

The spoiled scene with Charlie and Sarah’s mentioned anniversary. Rex totally wants to stay with Jesse after their “celebration”. I’m trying to figure whether Jesse is pretending to be naive or is actually being naive about it. Or if the whole response is the writers being unable to outright say that Charlie and Sarah really spent their anniversary having sex all night.

Speaking of, two years, Charlie Hudson? What are you waiting for, an epiphany to hit you in the head? Oh, wait.

What do you mean, we didn’t save the day? There’s a dead woman? Huh? 

Nice bomb explosion by the way.

“My bosses are gonna hate this but tell me more”. lol Jesse

How did we end up as security detail for the woman who might become prime minister?

Look, I like when there’s a case where they’re toying with supernatural elements. That’s why I loved Castle so much. And Jesse is always eager to believe. Charlie on the other hand looks like he’s got tons to say on the subject. Rex too. Apparently he doesn’t believe in time travel either.

Any so called time traveler should come back to the present with the numbers for the lottery. That would be ample proof for me :P

Can I say how much I like the camera work on this one? Good directing by John Vatcher.

Rex is getting so many pats in this episode. Deserved.

This campaign manager is on par with the Veep campaign managers. And by that I mean he’s ruthless and self-centered and I want to punch him.

That food now possibly has dog hair in it.

I come from a country where it’s pretty normal to put a musical montage right in the middle of an episode (even a dance number), so I’m not going to say anything about the needless song.

Thunk! There goes Charlie. Again. I’ll spare y’all the concussion speech. Besides, time moves in mysterious ways in this show, maybe it’s already been six months since episode 11.

Seriously, why do you tell Rex to chase a lead if you can’t survive being ten feet away from him?

I can’t remember the last time any of my shows put a bomb vest on one of the main characters. The latest that I remember was FBI but it was on a minor character. That had been a great episode too.

I haven’t yet decided whether that bomb vest looks too amateurish. To be fair, given who the culprit was, it shouldn’t look professional.

Sarah finding Charlie as he has a bomb vest on is like, the best thing that has happened lately on this show. Her look. His look as he realizes that he’s got his entire family now in this (and the mantra of no, no, no that must be playing in his head, I’m filling the blanks, don’t mind me). The slight zooming in of the camera in both of their shots, denoting the direness of the situation.

I was almost waiting for Charlie to say “this isn’t as enjoyable as it was last night” as Sarah was touching him while she’s checking the bomb vest. It writes itself, come on.

In my last review post I wrote that I was hoping the earphones would serve for Charlie to call Sarah and tell her goodbye or something like that. This certainly exceeded my expectations.

We’re a bit late for love confessions under duress but when Charlie was asked about whether Sarah was his wife and he replied “Not yet”, that was a nice moment. At least we know where his head is at.

Their silent communication. They’re so in sync.

Elsewhere, Joe and Jesse are quietly trying to figure out a way to save innocent people and somehow not get their friend blown up.

Superintendent Joe Donovan making airplane noises. I laughed so much.

They are holding hands as they’re walking to their doom! Oh, by the way, interesting music choice. I wonder if it’s score created for the show or non-original music. I’ve certainly not heard it before on the show.

Goodbye kiss! I love it here. And look at the shot of Charlie and Rex leaving as Sarah is staying behind.

Me: no way it’s the convict. Five minutes later: it’s the fucking convict!!! Ten minutes later: it’s not the convict???

Ha, Charlie using the mute button which is pretty convenient but almost no one uses on calls. 

Okay, they fooled me with the bomber. But the takedown went pretty much as I expected. Nice communication with Rex through hand signals, again. Although the detonator flying off the lady’s hand… anything could have happened.

Rex’s influence to the system will be more K9s lol. They may also have ensured unlimited funding for the SJPD.

Can the time traveling guy tell us if Charlie is going to propose anytime soon? Or is the “not yet” considered a non-proposal proposal?

This is the first time I’m hearing about the so called Alice in wonderland syndrome.

“Everybody needs a Rex”. Ah, yes. Our catchphrase.

Charlie, put the phone down. When is that man clocking out? Who’s going to make sure Rex is getting adequate rest? I need to talk to his superior. Joe!

Well, I kept saying that I wanted Charlie and Sarah to be in danger again together since they hadn’t after they had become a couple, and I got my wish, thank you, show. We could have had an aftermath scene with them but I’m not going to complain about it in an otherwise good episode.

Promo: I’m beyond frustrated that they keep shuffling the episodes and they wouldn’t even give it a rest when they got the season finale or the 100th episode on their hands. Today’s (yesterday’s) episode would have been a better 100th episode than The Rookie’s for sure (which is embarrassing for The Rookie). But instead we get to watch it as episode 99 and have a run of the mill case for the 100th, which, unless it ends up in a huge celebration scene, is going to fall flat. We basically end off exactly as we started, expect I now know this is 100% CityTV’s fault.

Speaking of, is CityTV even going to acknowledge that it’s the 100th episode? Is anyone? I’m obviously not expecting the magnitude of promotion ABC gave The Rookie or 911 this season (and that was a lot) but something that shows they’re not completely neglecting Hudson and Rex. It doesn’t seem like we’re getting renewal news anytime soon, so I’d settle for them celebrating the episodes they already filmed. There are quite a few production companies involved too, this does not only fall on CityTV. If Shaftesbury wants to celebrate this milestone, I won’t say no.

Ficlet: Of Secrets and Lies

Pit Babe. Charlie/Babe. A future AU missing scene (is that even a thing? 🤔). Unbeta'd.

Charlie wouldn’t lie to him about something like this. Would he?

(Yes, I wrote an mpreg. Go me! My first since 2014. Wow. Who woulda thought? A mesh-up of book and drama. Just... hand-wave your way through.)

***

A month after Charlie’s death at the racetrack, almost to the day, actually, Babe starts feeling sick.

He doesn’t pay much attention to it at first. He’s been feeling under the weather for days now, listless and drained, his mind stuck in the moment he felt his powers return to him, his heart stuck inside the emergency room where, as his newly expanded hearing revealed to him, his lover just flatlined. He can’t sleep, he can’t eat, he can’t… he just can’t. So when he gets sick, it doesn’t really come as a surprise to him.

But his sickness doesn't go away, the thing is. And one morning, as he’s bent over the toilet once again, throwing up where there’s nothing to throw up in the first place… he pauses. Because a crazy, absolutely impossible idea crosses his mind.

No way. No. Definitely not.

And yet.

No. Because Charlie wouldn’t lie to him about something like this. Charlie who… lied to him about everything else at first before finally coming clean. Maybe he just didn’t get the chance to tell him the truth about this. But he wouldn't. Charlie wouldn’t, not about this. Not when he knew Babe’s situation, first hand, the danger Tony presented.

And yet.

A simple pregnancy test would tell him the truth. But Babe wouldn’t be able to stomach it, such an impersonal confirmation of Charlie’s betrayal. It would… it would destroy him. He knows that.

So he chooses the next best option: he goes to Jeff.

“We need to talk!” Babe tells Jeff when he finds him in the garage and without waiting for Jeff's answer, he walks out again, out the back where the little smoking area offers some privacy.

Frowning, Jeff follows him out. “What is it?” he asks uncertainly. They haven’t seen each other in days and Babe looks… well, he looks terrible. Drawn and pale and wired tight.

Babe whips around and snaps out harshly, “Tell me that Charlie wasn’t an Enigma!” It’s not a question, it’s an order. “Tell me he did not lie about this too!”

Jeff blinks rapidly, confused, because whatever he expected, this apparently wasn’t it. “What? Why would you…” His voice trails off as his eyes widen. And before Babe can react, Jeff reaches out and touches him, letting his powers sink into Babe.

Babe pulls away but Jeff must've gotten what he needed. Because he breathes in sharply and stares at Babe, shocked by what he saw.

“What–” Babe starts saying but Jeff cuts him off.

“He was,” Jeff says, still staring at Babe, shaken. “Looks like Charlie was an Enigma.”

Babe swallows hard, his heart, already beating hard, picks up the pace even further. He’s feeling cold all over, his hands are freezing. “So… he lied about this too.”

But Jeff shakes his head vehemently. “No. He didn’t. He really didn’t know about this. I swear. He thought he was a regular Alpha, nothing more.”

Laughing harshly, Babe says, “How could he have not known? All it takes is a simple test, all Alphas take it when they reach puberty. Hell, I took it! He must’ve–”

“But Charlie didn’t, that’s the thing!” Jeff interrupts him. “Remember, Tony thought him useless. That’s why he let Charlie go when he ran away. Tony had no incentive to put Charlie through the test because Charlie was no good to him, not even as a test subject.”

“So, you’re telling me that Charlie - what? He simply assumed he was a regular Alpha?” Babe demands in disbelief.

Jeff shuffles his feet uncomfortably. “Well… yeah. Enigmas are rare. The odds of actually being one are, well, impossible.”

“Obviously not impossible enough,” Babe mumbles and closes his eyes.

Because he feels faint. He hasn’t truly eaten in days, being unable to keep anything down anyway, and Charlie is dead - Charlie is dead! - and he’s… he’s pregnant, it seems. And it’s too much. It’s all just too much. There’s white noise in his ears and he can feel a tingling sensation seeping up his arms and legs and…

“Fuck.” He staggers.

“Hey,” Jeff yelps and grabs Babe by the arms, leading him to sit down on the edge of a concrete planter with a some dried out plant struggling vainly. “Sit before you fall. There. You okay?” 

No, Babe's not okay. Of course he’s not okay, damn it. And fuck you, Charlie. Fuck you for doing this to me. Fuck you for… for dying on me!

Babe breathes in and out slowly, again and again, until the faint feeling passes. Only then does he open his eyes and looks at Jeff who’s now crouching in front of him, looking up at him in concern. 

“What… what will you do?” Jeff asks in an uncertain whisper.

“About?” Babe asks back.

“Well…” Jeff’s voice trails off and he waves his hand at Babe, at– 

Oh.

Odd. Ever since that morning, ever since that possibility occurred to him, his head and his heart have been in turmoil - but not once, not once did the idea of an abortion even cross his mind. Babe realizes that’s saying something.

“I will keep it,” Babe says, quietly but firmly. “Of course I will keep it. It’s Charlie’s kid, Jeff. Charlie’s!” He has to fight with himself not to lay his hands on his abdomen protectively. Because there’s no danger to his child here. Not here.

“But other than that? I have no idea what to do,” Babe admits, clenching his hands into fists. “When Tony finds out - and he will, a kid isn’t a hangnail, you can’t just… hide it! - when he finds out, he’s going to raze X-Hunter to the ground and everyone with it to get to it.”

Jeff looks down, thinking hard. It takes a minute but when he looks up again, it’s apparent that he came to some decision. He doesn’t like it - at all, if Babe can tell - but he's determined to see it through. He nods to himself. Then he gets up and says, “So, we’ll just have to take Tony out before it comes to that.”

Babe laughs at him. “Take Tony out? That bastard is untouchable!” He should know.

Jeff waves a hand dismissively. “We already have a plan all set up and ready to go. We’ll just have to... speed up the timetable, is all.”

Babe narrows his eyes at him. “Who is ‘we’?” he asks suspiciously.

An uncomfortable look passes across Jeff’s face. He clears his throat awkwardly, takes a deep breath and says, “Well, the thing is…”

And then he proceeds to tell Babe the truth.

“He. Did. What?!” Babe roars and he would jump to his feet if his head weren’t spinning. He’s furious, absolutely livid. And elated. But mostly livid, at least for the moment. “I’m going to kill him,” he spits out. “I swear, this time, I’m going to personally beat him to death, the fucker!”

And when Babe next sees Charlie, when Jeff brings him to where Charlie's been hiding this whole time, ever since his faked death, Babe punches him, hard, laying into him with everything he has. Because how dare he? How dare he do this to him? How…

And then he kisses Charlie, just as hard, and he hugs him fiercely and he cries because… because Charlie's alive. Charlie is alive and nothing else matters.

[sunshinechay]

So i read the first chapter of Pit Babe and it’s honestly not too different from the show so far.

Honestly nothing too outlandish so far. Pretty similar to the show. It’s an enjoyable read so far and the nc scene was fairly well written, even after translation.

The chapter is mostly about Babe and the introduction to his world. The race track is introduced and Way has to explain to a new employee that Babe will be there for the race, he just needs to “relax” first aka have sex. Like the show, Babe ends up rejecting the alpha and doing the race. He meets Charlie in the back after leaving before Way’s race and the usual appeal to Babe by Charlie to borrow his car happens. The locker room nc scene from the show is original. Babe and Charlie do not have sex at the track, rather Babe gives Charlie his condo’s address and Charlie goes there at 10pm (actual time specified in the book) and the two have sex. The chapter ends with Babe telling Charlie that if he wants to borrow Babe’s car then he needs to keep having sex with Babe until Babe is satisfied that it’s worth it to let Charlie borrow the car.

Other chapters: Chap2

These were the thoughts that I wrote down while I was reading, so take of them what you will hahah

Pit Babe chapter 1

-Love that the race tracks had a nickname “The Hollows” makes it sound almost ominous right from the jump

-The race is at 1:30 in the afternoon and I don’t know why I’m surprised by that

-X-Hunter is really just that famous in this racing world. Good to know

-Babe isn’t so much into exhibitionism as he just does not care about getting caught having sex in the locker room. “…getting caught was the least of his worries”

-Babe is already annoyed with his partner before we even join them. The boy apparently keeps calling him Phi which he does not like

-a line is actually “let’s not talk about Omega” according to the translation I’m reading and like sure Jan

-that line is in because Babe can’t relax or concentrate on the sex because of the alpha’s pheromones. The other alpha is apparently young enough that it’s noted he only recently went through puberty but no mention on when that might happen. So I’m guessing the kid is like 18-19? Though Babe isn’t supposed to be much older than that I believe

-dude is literally about to cum and Babe is like “nope can’t stand it, get away from me”

-“your dog’s curse” damn Babe is savage

-for the record, Babe is described in the book as 180cm tall (5ft9) with honey coloured skin and a unique face shape as well as sweet smelling. Usually the sweet smelling one in an omegaverse story is the omega so take from that what you will

-Babe is also very physically affectionate with Way, even kissing his cheek after the race

-Babe leaves before Way’s race. That being said, Way doesn’t seem to have any kind of problem with that. They’re still playful with each other

-Babe is described as having his body be more sensitive than others and it makes him tired more easily which is another reason why he doesn’t want to stay and watch Way’s race. He needs to get away from the crowd. God I feel that so much

-Babe thinks Charlie is a pervert right away, since he covers his face with a mask and sunglasses as well a hat

-Finally mentioned his abilities so that’s nice. Way apparently described them like that of a superheroes. He can see better and notice more than most, his sense of smell is way better, his hearing is better, even his sense of touch is more than most

-Charlie wants to borrow Babe’s car because he doesn’t have one to do the tryouts for. I think the team he wants to join is X-Hunter as a driver

-Charlie says he willing to do anything to be able to borrow Babe’s car and Babe immediately thinks sex

-They don’t actually have sex in the locker room. Babe gives Charlie the address to his apartment and they met up later

-Charlie is apparently 22

-They strike up deal about sex in exchange for borrowing Babe’s car. Charlie is well aware that that is what Babe wants

-Babe is actually conflicted about Charlie’s lack of experience. Charlie’s enthusiasm wins the day though and Babe says he’ll show him what to do

-Babe assumes Charlie has no alternative motives because Charlie has professed to being a fan of his as well as because of his earnest and clumsy attitude

-Charlie thinks Babe smells sweet, like an omega

-Babe doesn’t like Charlie calling him Phi either. Instead he asks Charlie to call him Khun Babe (Mr. Babe)

-…Charlie actually says that if Babe were an omega he would get him pregnant during their first (FIRST) time having sex. He also says a bunch of other stuff that Babe thinks he should have a problem with but Charlie’s dick is too good

-It’s only in the middle of sex that Babe actually notices that Charlie doesn’t have a smell. Only the small scent of body odour, none of the usual alpha pheromones. It makes Babe even more attracted to Charlie

-Chapter finishes with Babe telling Charlie that Charlie has to be his sex partner until Babe thinks it’s worth it to lend him one of his cars

Creations AU FNAF 4, But I obnoxiously over explain it PT 3

FNAF 4 pages 60-90

*Warning ahead for heavily abusive language.

Oh boy I sure hope we get an answer.

Lmao mom and dad are fighting.

Yikes Diana that's not very nice.

Hah nope.

Okay but why did people think this genuine moment between William and his son was somehow malicious???

Dude is just talking to his son who is currently breaking down wtf is wrong with some people??? XD

This was after Sister Location on webtoon too so there should be no excuse for this bad faith reading of William's character after some of the scenes in that comic. I won't spoil but like...??????????

Like William is a bad person in cannon and this comic but it's legit-

William: *breathes*

Audiance: YOU BASTARD!!!!!

HE'S A PERSON TOO AND IS WRITTEN AS SUCH?

The reference to being a devil will only make more sense as the FNAF 1 ARC draws to a close.

Oh ho ho hooooooo.

So, that's why Sammy's a fucking weirdo about robots in the FNAF 1 Arc.

Also this gives context to the whole scene where Mike and his sister in law talk about Charlie still being alive while having a grave in the FNAF 1 Arc.

The one walking around is a robot.

So unlike everything implied in cannon: Creations William loves his children.

Is it always in a healthy/good way: NO. AND THAT WILL ONLY BECOME MORE APARENT AS FNAF 1'S ARC COTNENUES.

He even loves the one that indirectly KILLED one of his others lmao.

I just enjoy giving William an actual character. Lmfao. Unlike a lot of people who get on a high horse for making him a plank of wood. X'D

Yes. he's evil man you wrote the most basic boring bland mother fucker on the planet to be said antagonist. You're very cute making that your antagonist while not thinking about how making him that fucking boring and personalities affects the themes or ideas of your work. Here's a fucking cookie???

I hate this way of writing William if you can't tell lmfao.

"He can't have a motive or you're humanizing him" is such a horse shit take and I won't stfu about it considering how prevalent of an idea that shit was on Twitter. X'D

Idk if this is a wake up call that women can be abusers too but like, they can be lmao. Trust me on that.

Oops. The demon thing heard you.

William's default to dealing with Diana is to try and fix things and placate her enough to where she won't go nuclear. Which is sad, but he sucks in different ways.

Really they are a tale of "A match made in hell".

Everyone makes shitty choices here lmao.

Diana antagonizes somebody off their rocker and William's a spinless bastard to both his wife and his creepy demon.

He didn't wanna do it himself and I find that amusing.

The poorest of poor choices were made by everyone involved.

There's little sympathy for any parties here lmao. Except maybe Ballora. X'D

That instant regret lmao. "I MADE A MISTAKE WOOPS"

That's a repeat thing with our good ol Willy boy.

He makes a mistake, and then keeps repeating the same mistake lmao.

William is stuck in a loop of perpetually falling into making the same mistakes over and over and it is a theme of the series WILLIAM is the one who needs to solve HIS OWN problems.

William takes no accountability where it's REALLY NEEDED, blames and pushes it onto others can't find the strength to fight his own inner demons and falls into the same pitfalls over and over.

Hehe your house is a bit odd there William.

William's just fed up with everyone involved in this situation lmao.

I mean yeah, the demon thing IS a bad liar.

He directly cause Diana to die lmao.

And I like William calling him out on that. William in some part is scared of his own inner demons taking form as this thing that mimics him.

"The demon" as I call him is important and also a direct reflection of William's own mistakes. William not confronting or taking care of this "Demon" in any meaningful way part of the damn problem.

Why the fuck you lyyyyyyin.

Why you always lyyyyyyin'-

That bold faced lie will only become more apparent as the story goes on. This bitch has plenty of agency he just likes William to take the fall for everything.

Which in a way is fair. He is a result of William's as well. ;)

Once again have reached the image cap because WHYYYY

[cutie--q]

so i’m an adult now, in their early 20’s. who has started to revisit wbb again. and something that’s become especially apparent is how different my mind is when it comes to the stuff i create with characters 🤔

so i thought. how would this translate with me viewing panlie again?

so far, one of the biggest differences was noticing how saccharine all the stuff i wrote about it was. it was pretty low stakes, which matches with the show’s vibes. granted, this will make me avoid revisiting some stuff due to its… mushy nature. my main interest in fictional relationships right now is to portray realistic, stilted, and intimate moments, so the sweetness of panlie is a bit overbearing to me at times 😅

and the OTHER big difference is that… i now write smut.

so when i saw this scene, i fucking LOST it and bursted out laughing hajahdkSJDJWKDJSKA

so now i ask the question “how would panlie sex even work? 😂😭😭”

and the answer? soft dom charlie.

THINK ABOUT IT: he technically has the qualities in him. he’s insanely strong, tall, and wants to shower his partner (panda) in affection and love.

(THESE ARE INSANE WORDS I’M SAYING, and don’t worry, i’m also laughing with you XD)

soft dom charlie is just SUCH a hilarious concept.

charlie after pinning panda’s arms down: are you okay? i’m not squeezing too tight, am i?? ’,:3

panda: CHARLIE!!! you’re not supposed to say that!! you’re supposed to say “you’re not going anywhere”

(panda wants his yaoi fantasies to come true 💀)

i don’t WANNA imagine panlie sex as anything other than fucking insanity of the amusing kind

[mercymermaid]

so

i think it's time for my fnaf movie rant

HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE SPOILERS (obviously)

these are in no particular order and are just a conglomeration of thoughts that i wrote down immediately after watching so they don't make any sense half the time, and don't include theories i've seen recently

enjoy

- THE MATPAT CAMEO??? THE THEORY LINE???? HOLY FUCKING SHIT. THE THEATER SCREAMED.

- why did golden freddy pull a sans w the blue eye what happened to the white smh

- DUDE. I CALLED THE 'VANESSA AS AFTON'S DAUGHTER' HALFWAY THROUGH THE FUCKING MOVIE

- THE SECOND SHE EXPLAINED THAG SHE KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON AND THAT SHE WOULDNT BE ABLE TO HELP, IT WAS OBVIOUS.

- because mike explained that their dad was gone, right? and afton clearly recognized the schmidt name. due to this, i originally thought that maybe schmidt was some code name and that only the aftons could recognize it, but now i have a theory

- the families are switched somehow. Vanessa is either a stand-in for Charlie or herself, which makes no sense story-wise

- however, Mike, Abby, and Garrett are clearly afton children. Mike is Mike (and in the games, Mike apparently uses Schmidt anyway to investigate his dad), Abby can bring lengthened to Elizabeth, and the crying child doesn't even canonically have a name 💀

- so i was thinking what if the families were eswitched? vanessa was some sort of charlie stand-in, with afton as her dad, while the schmidts were raised by Henry

- this would explain why he recognized schmidt and offered the job at Freddy's - he'd already killed Garrett, so he wanted to finish off the collection. Mayne this could be a parallel to him killing Charlie, but since there's three kids, he needs to get them all??? idfk

- ONE OF THE GUYS BREAKING IN HAD A MIDNIGHT MOTORISTS T-SJIRT (the guy who got killed by the cupcake)

- i am soglad i went with who I did because i doubt any of my other friends would understand any of it 😭

- THEY PLAYED LIVING TOMBSTONE AT THE END. YES. THANK YOU. THAT IS ALL WE EVER NEEDED IN LIFE.

- the balloon boy bit 😭 i doubt anyone not in the fandom would appreciate it as well as we did smh

- ugh i wish mark had his cameo but iron lung is important too ig

- THE WAY THE AUDIENCE SCREAMED WHEN AFTON TOOK OFF HIS MASK BRAHAHHDHCJC

- WE WERE ALL WAITIJG FOR IT

- we probably won't get to see a "WAS THAT THE BITE OF '87" moment because garrett got kidnapped instead of chomped smh

- BUT. THEY KEPT THE GUILT. IN THE GAMES, MICHAEL SHOVED CC INTO FREDBEAR'S MOUTH. IN THE MOVIE, HE WASNT PAYING ATTENTION, WHICH CAUSED HIS BROTHER TO GET KIDNAPPED. OH THE FUCKING PARALLELS DUUUUDE

- also max getting bit in half is probably all we're gonna get of The Bite

- MATTHEW LILLARD FUCKING ATE. HE KNEW THE ASSIGNMENT. BEST AFTON.

- only issue is the lack of screaming during the springlocking. only your stomach is getting stabbed, not your throat yet. Scream.

- it would've been so funny if he pulled the "MICHAELLL DONT LEAVE ME HERE MICHAEL MICHAEL" while he was being dragged away but homie was too busy dying

- HE SAID THE LINE. "I ALWAYS COME BACK." OH MY GOD.

- NOBODY EXPECTSD VANESSA TO GET STABBED. THE THEATER GASPED.

- "IT'S ME" ON THE MIRROR DBSJAJXJXJXJDJ

- stop bonnie and chica staring down the camera while they release the cupcake is so funny 😭

- MORE ON THE FAMILY SWITCH. ABBY IS ELIZABETH, OBVIOUSLY, WHICH IS ONLY MADE MORE TRUE BC CHICA TRIES TO SHOVE HER INTO THAT DOLL-LOOKING THING. YOU KNOW WHAT IT RESEMBLES? SCRAP BABY. MY FIRST THOUGHT ABOUT THAT SUIT WAS "dude is that scrap baby?"

- the lack of a mrs. afton is so real 🤩🤩

- dude the entire fort scene was actually so fucking hilario

us

- like bonnie just. falling backwards. is so him yk

- BUT GOLDEN FREDDY. THERES THE KID. WHERE'S CASSIDY? IS GARRETT ALSO POSSESSING GOLDEN FREDDY IF HE'S THE PARALLEL FOR CC? WHAT ABOUT VANESSA? 

- the issue with the family swap is that Vanessa just doesn't fit in. we can't play it off as a parallel to Charlie, because vanessa is already an established character with a connection to afton.  fuck you Scott.

- SPEAKING OF. SCOTT KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING. HE CATERED TO US LIKE A FUCKING ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT BUFFET. THE INSIDE REFERENCES AND EASTER EGGS?! THE MATPAT CAMEO??? THE LIVONG TOMBSTONE?!?!?! 

- a bit upset they didn't keep Freddy's flashing face sequence smh

- THE SPRINGLOCKING WAS SO GOOD BC THEY LEFT HIM IN THE EXACT SAME POSITION AS CANON. ALSO IT WAS GOLDEN FREDDY WHO FINALLY LEFT HIM THERE, WHICH IS A HIT AT THE WHOLE "GOLDEN FREDDY HATES AFTON THE MOST" (cough cough ultimate custom night)

- they kept in the red eyes in some parts but im very glad they weren't in the rest. they looked fucking high. what happened to the black with white?? THAT WOULDVE BEEN TEN TIMES SCARIER AND APPEALED TO CANON, WHATS THE WITH THE CHANGE MAN 😭

- bonnie never got his eyebrows

- cupcake slayed and ate (literally!!!!)

- im actually super curious why half of spring bonnie is so damaged. now, it could go with the whole "this place hasn't been touched in forever, yadda yadda, destroyed suit makes it more sensitive and easy to set off" but. it's only one half of it. there could be a perfectly plausible explanation of "Oh yeah, only half of it was exposed to bad stuff, other half was covered with a tarp" ITS FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S. ITS NEVER THAT SIMPLE. HAVE WE LEARNED NOTHING? also a bit curious about whether movie afton already got springlocked once like book afton did (has game afton getting springlocked previously been confirmed? please lmk)

- i really love how they used the "the robots are just children" because they love abby and just want to play and shit and they're so sweet but they're so easily manipulatable 

like

afton probably didn't have to do much besides show the pictures and convince them he was good

and all it took for them to turn on him was abby drawing a second picture

what if she convinced them vanessa was bad or some shit? they are really fucking gullible.

- also what the fuck was that freddy head saw blade monstrosity??!! what 😭 

- like it never ends up being explained and it's not a stand-in for springlocks or being shoved into suits because those are very very much there

- literally the second i heart matpat's voice my heart went oop 

- it took a second for everyone to register it but we went WILD

- AND HE DROPPED THE "BUT THATS JUST A THEORY"

- HE'S SO SILLY

- FOOD THEORY IS SO REAL THO 😭

- no bc a markiplier cameo would be so great but imagine if they used his reaction thing

- like they got him to film "WAS THAT THE BITE OF '87" as max gets bitten, and he appears in the corner for that one line

- even better, not reaction camera style, just standing there right next to her and then never being mentioned again

- either that or him popping up on the cameras (again, either as a reaction image, or standing there menacingly)

- THEY HAD SPARKY

- also why DID vanessa keep Mike in the dark abt afton (not calling him her dad, not stooping that low) and him trying to kill Abby? fear of authorities getting involved? this is bumfuck nowhere Utah, she is the fucking authority, and considering what his aunt said, a police officer defending her dad against some random guy isn't gonna go well for him

- like sure she told him to not bring abby but she didn't tell him why of course it's not gonna go well

- about the family swap. it's so easy to tell the scmidts are supposed to be a version of the afton kids, why the fuck did they name him GARRETT?

- I love the whole references to phone guy

Would've loved to see actual phone guy (imagine if THAT was matpat's cameo)(coughs in fnaf the musical) but afton is good enough

but abby's "hello" while exploring Freddy's sounds so much lime balloon boy wtf

- abby is a monogram (or whatever it's called) for baby which might not have that much symbolism bc abby is short for Elizabeth but the more the merrier yk

- i think i answered my own question abt whether movie afton has been springlocked

considering how he fuckign SPRINTED at michael and made all these moves like kicking and shit? yeah, I'm more surprised it took him so long to get springlocked

same with game afton actually like.. hello? stop laughing at the fucking dead kids in such a damp room, it's your own fault dumbass

Basically book afton was the smartest about wearing the suit bc of experience

- THE WAY CARL LAUNCHED ITSELF AT MICHAEL WILL NEVER NOT BE FUNNY LIKE BRO FUCKING ASCENDED 😭

- my friend is complaining abt how flirty Vanessa is w Michael which is really funny for no reaskn

- MY FRIEND INSULTED FOXY'S "dum dum dum" SAYING HES NOT CUT OUT FOR MUSIC. HELLO?!?!?@?@?@?@@

- as my friend mentioned, springlock scene was kinda anticlimactic lmao like where's the screaming? the blood?

- according to the same friend mentioned three times already:

Best parts of the movie

1. Matpat saying "that's just a theory"

2. Living tombstone credits

3. Vanessa getting stabbed

- the sounds at the end spell out "come find me" so wooohooo sequel time?? :))

- the "i always come back" was NOT it 😭 at least he said it yk

- okay someone pointed out that it was his last words so they were desperate and mad and showcase his lack of confidence in if he's actually gonna come back 

which is cool

but I like the og more yk

- about abby's springlock suit: its the same doll from 1:35 am (fazbear frights 3), then there's sparky as an animatronic ans restaraunt, wppohoho

[genlossneg]

i havent seen genloss in like a year so sorry if i get things wrong but i still think about this. also sorgy its so long i got carried away </3

something that really bothers me about genloss [that u may have heard a few times already] is just how. on-the-nose and surface level all the references were?

for example, the bit where ranboo is cutting open charlie. cool conceptually! but awfully executed; it was just a direct reference to saw, toilet and all. and it wasnt even plot relevant, except for the slime = blood thing [which is like 6 seconds of a ~10 minute scene]. all ranboo got from it was a piece from mousetrap, which DID come up later, but that was also filler.

its the same problem i have with the shotgun carousel [which is taken from saw 6], if ranboo really wanted to be creative and make his own unique show, he shouldve made up his own saw trap. i genuinely wouldve liked episode 2 if they did! even if it was bad its still better than directly taking one out of saw and inserting yourself and your friends into it. its just so boring and unimaginative yk? and the worst part of the whole scene is that in the original, the trap is relevant to the main character and is commenting on cruel healthcare policies in the US: the main character set up a policy at his company that would eliminate 2 thirds of people who applied for insurance, so he has to kill 4 out of 6 of his coworkers in the trap. i find it infuriating that ranboo took the trap and even some of the cinematography from the original scene but just completely removed any depth it had and turning it into a "comedy", and remaining oblivious to the message the movie was trying to portray.

new paragraph cuz the last one is long. ranboo just doesnt bother to analyse the media he references and just takes the most surface level ideas and puts them in his weird frankenstein saw trap love letter. i genuinely wouldve respected them more if they were inspired by the analogies created by the traps and how they relate to characters and carrying that same idea into his own characters to give them depth, but he just doesnt bother!! and its so fucking annoying to see!!

and its not like executing references well is all that difficult?? the key thing that makes a reference good is that its irrelevant to the story and its out of the way [imo], like something that goes unmentioned in the background. ranboo couldve done something like putting shots from saw movies in picture frames in the cabin or smthn. still not great, but its less egregious. but naaaahhh lets just rip an entire scene from one of the most famous horror movie franchises and inject repetitive improv into it, thatll be entertaining for half an hour!!

the main problem that arises when referencing media in the way ranboo does is that instead of thinking about how awful the characters must feel, im thinking about saw. i havent even seen saw, and i was thinking about saw. how do you even do that. if he had been creative and wrote his own trap, id be empathising first and thinking about saw second, because its more subtle, and not just a blaring alarm in your face telling you hey did you know that ranboo likes saw. did you know that. now you do!!

thing is its not even the only thing hes referencing, apparently the 1st episode was based on a horror movie called "the cabin in the woods", which is about teenagers who go to a cabin and are made to live out horror clichés, and tbh i wouldnt be surprised if that was ranboos main aim for gen 1; to insert himself and their friends into their fav horror tropes

btw just to make sure i wasnt making up stuff to get mad at i checked how long the carousel scene lasted, and from when ranboo enters the trap room to when he leaves is around 42 minutes. how they thought this was entertaining and worth the audiences time is beyond me

tldr; genloss is fundamentally derivative and ranboo doesnt understand characterisation, referencing or pacing. surpriseeee

take a shot every time i said "saw" and "reference" and you'll only be a fraction as wasted compared to if you took a shot whenever ranboo wastes the audiences time /j

wait i had no clue about those bits being references??? i know exactly nothing about horror so that totally flew past me and i don't think i've heard that mentioned yet. this is genuinely super interesting actually, i don't have a lot to add but this is a really great read

[asagi-red-wolf]

So I came across the leaks by accident yesterday and wrote a huge post about why people are jumping the gun with their judgements but I decided that shit ain’t worth my time so I deleted it although seriously it is COMMON PRACTICE not to give auditioners the real dialogue on the fucking CALL SHEET, call sheet info, in fact, is OFTEN altered, if not outright fake, to protect the show from spoilers getting out, and often has fake dialogue just to see how certain people bounce off of eachother, see how certain actors sound saying specific words out of context, getting a feel for their range, etc but something in particular has been on my mind and I had a theory about it

If you don’t want to know anything about the leaks please do not click the read more

I’ve been thinking about the names of the female exterminators and how odd they are, I don’t think this is just for the auditioners since Adam’s name is available and that, if any, seems like the one they’d want to hide most, and although Vivzie is certainly no stranger to crude humor, she seems to take a much more sobered approach to names unless they’re part of a bigger joke or plot and I think that’s it

We know Adam REALLY hates women, and we know he’s the head exterminator who apparently no one is bothering to control- as it’s implied that the exterminators push around the smaller-level angels and the bigger-level angels don’t bother with keeping them in check- so sincerely what would stop him from naming the female exterminators himself? If not due to creating them somehow, then making it some sort of hazing/arbitrary rule that exterminators have to have the names he gives them but only fucking around with- or even only enforcing it at all- the girls, that’s a pretty fucked up thing (and it also lends further thought to Vaggie being a former exterminator as her name fits this pattern too)

We even have a hint of that from the dialogue leaks, and although I REALLY wouldn’t put any stock on those being word for word from the script- I HIGHLY doubt that they are- that doesn’t mean that there isn’t a similar scene in mind or even that these aren’t possibly cut scenes, in any case implying that his exchange with Charlie and trying to force a name like that onto her might be indicative of him doing this with pretty much any woman he meets

The more I think about it, the more I really think this is the explanation we’re going to get, Adam seems like a privileged frat boy set loose on society so this would be extremely on brand for someone of that archetype

[lightfromthelostland]

Top Gun '86 did use a lot of tricks to make Tom Cruise look taller though. Both Val Kilmer and Anthony Edwards (Goose) said they had filmed their scenes with Tom in their socks (they are 5'11" and 6'2" respectively). Tom apparently had to wear stilts with Kelly McGillis (Charlie) because she is 5'10". She also couldn't wear heels next to him, and it's not a coincidence she was sitting, crouching, or reclining in most of her scenes with Tom.

It's so funny yet weird! Hollywood is so weird about this man's height that they accidentally caused people to assume Tom is even shorter than his perfectly average 5'7" because they keep putting the poor man on apple boxes or filming him at angles that make him look taller (He is literally the example image on this topic in TVTropes).

I wonder if he always had a complex about his height or Hollywood gave him one.

Sorry for the random timing of this ask. I recently saw your commentary about Mav's height in fandom and wanted to share my own unasked two cents. Feel free to ignore this because apparently, you wrote that a month or so ago and seem to have already moved past it (and maybe even already got asks saying the same stuff I did).

Hey! I love to hear from people. I guess if they really did put that much effort into it...they didn't do a very good job. It's pretty obvious that Tom is shorter than everyone else.

I think it's less that they try to hide it that makes people think Tom is shorter than he is, and more that movie stars, as a general rule, seem to be taller than average. That, combined with all the 5'9" guys running around claiming to be 6 foot have left us with a very skewed idea of how tall average people are, even though we're around them all the time.

I genuinely don't think Tom himself actually cares about his height - it's Hollywood people are weird about it. He seems like the kind of guy who's very comfortable with exactly who he is. I will admit that I don't watch a lot of interviews and stuff, because I generally find them uncomfortable (I just can't stop thinking about the fact that those poor people have answered those same questions 57 times already, plus interviewers are frequently really awkward people, even though talking is literally their job? I know, I'm weird), so some of the confirmed background information flies right past me.

Sabrina Carpenter’s Dating History: A List of Boyfriends

It’s no secret that Espresso singer Sabrina Carpenter prefers to keep her love life under wraps.

Despite being linked to a string of eligible bachelors, the pop star has managed to keep *most* of her relationships safely on the DL. But behind the scenes, whispers of romance are still going strong. 

Did she actually date Dylan O’Brien? What was the deal with Joshua Bassett? And that steamy TikTok kiss with Charlie Puth…was it all for the ‘gram?

Let’s dive into the clues, decode the cryptic Instagram posts, and uncover the truth behind the singer’s hush-hush relationships. Scroll down for Sabrina Carpenter’s dating history!

Ex: Bradley Steven Perry

Long before she was belting out breakup songs, Sabrina was all smiles with Good Luck Charlie star Bradley Steven Perry.

Bradley recently revealed all on the Unplanned Podcast, explaining that he and Sabrina shared a “high-school style romance” while filming their shows Girl Meets World and Mighty Med. 

Apparently, young Brad went all out in an attempt to woo her. Speaking to J14 back in 2015, Sab stated, “It was a really unique way to ask someone out. It was like the pirate movies, like they do the little bottles and they put notes in them and send them across the ocean, like one of those, and he put a note inside. It was cute.”

After painting a picture-perfect teen romance on Instagram, ‘Brabina’ unexpectedly called it quits. Some fans speculate that someone else was on the scene, but the truth remains locked away in the Disney vault! 

Rumored Ex: Bradley Simpson

From one Bradley to the next… 

In 2017, Sabrina’s on-stage chemistry with The Vamps’ frontman Bradley Simpson had fans wondering whether the pair were more than just friends. After sharing snaps of her and the British-born singer on socials, Sab’s followers started to speculate whether another romance was on the cards.

However, in an interview with Seventeen magazine, Sabrina quickly dispelled the rumors, saying, “We completely ignore it. For me, first of all, I didn’t know about all this. Bradley also isn’t on social media very much. I think we just try to live in reality as much as we can.”

Was their intense on-stage eye contact a sign of hidden feelings? Or were they just good friends putting on a show? 

We’ll never know for sure, but it certainly made for a great performance!

Rumored Ex: Corey Fogelmanis

Just a year after rumors were spread about Brabrina 2.0, fans started to play detective again, linking Sabrina with Girl Meets World co-star Corey Fogelmanis. Pictured in many playful snaps together, the pair seemed to have a lot of love for each other, but according to them, they’ve never been romantically involved.

Wishing Corey a happy 19th birthday back in 2018, Sab wrote on Instagram: “you’re a great friend and I’m honored to know you, and not date you. thanks for being there for me and not dating me. love u so much. Platonically.”

Corey has since openly embraced his identity as a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, using his platform to advocate for acceptance and visibility.

Hellsite Nostalgia Tour 2023 Day 178

Many Happy Returns/The Empty Hearse

“Many Happy Returns”

Plot Description: John and Lestrade try to move on with their lives after Sherlock’s apparent death. However, Anderson believes he’s still alive

I didn’t WANT to have to go to youtube to actually find Many Happy Returns, but it’s apparently not on my dvds, which is bullshit

Would you consider Anderson to be the original Charlie Day meme because we used him in these episodes as a “person goes mad over complicated theories” meme first? Or would would whichever episode came out first (Always Sunny) to be the origin of the meme? Or neither because I feel like people have been going mad over complex theories for a LONG long time

Poor Greg getting absolutely RIPPED APART and so CASUALLY by Anderson

Oh these poor boys. They’re very awkward together because the thing that held them together WAS Sherlock. It’s like that episode of New Girl where Schmidt and Winston have to hang out together without Nick…except in this case, they both think Nick is dead instead of………on a date? Maybe? I dunno, it’s been a while since I watched it

Does John just have a degradation kink? Sherlock, on a video for John’s birthday (though this is the uncut version), went on and on about how all of John’s friends hate him, how he wrote a paper on that sort of thing based on spending time with John and his friends, and all John did after is ask him again to stop being dead……..

“The Empty Hearse”

Plot Description: Mycroft calls Sherlock back to London to investigate an underground terrorist organization

The bungee cord, the hypnotist, Sherlock kissing Molly…this is all just very absurd

Oh PLEASE. The height difference between Jim and Sherlock alone should prove that Sherlock’s corpse wasn’t Jim with a mask…

It’s weird to have Greg tell Anderson that all his theories are guilt over what he and Donovan did. Because…it likely IS but also HE’S RIGHT, at least that Sherlock’s been behind a lot of foreign cases getting solved lately and that his death was faked. Maybe not the exact way it happened but still. I wish they explored Anderson’s guilt more without us knowing…thought, that WOULD be difficult to sell. The series is called Sherlock and how do you have season three without the title character?? Anyway…

God. How did I forget about the mustache???

I’ll never not be in favor of things in languages I don’t speak, but mannnn do my eyes hate reading subtitles on my tv screens. The squinting I have to do…

Oh. Mycroft didn’t just CALL Sherlock back. He went to whatever Eastern Europe prison Sherlock was in and, posing as some kind of authority figure there, dragged him out himself. There is a DIFFERENCE

John deciding to…visit? 221b…I don’t like how confused Mrs Hudson was to see him. He stayed in touch to some extent with Greg but not Mrs Hudson?

THAT’S WHAT I’M SAYING!!! Mycroft is MUCH more likely to make calls and decisions to get shit done, not go out and do it himself. That’s what he has spies and Sherlock for. Though, you can’t exactly SEND Sherlock to retrieve Sherlock

I love that Sherlock’s accusing Mycroft of enjoying watching him get beat up in prison. For all the pain Sherlock has caused his brother, let him enjoy it a little

Yeah……..she’s pissssssssed at him. Omg she’s so passive aggressive about it.

Obviously. You’re bi, John. Happy Pride. It’s nearly over now

Ok there’s near NO WAY you could have known that…you literally just walked in

When we call John unobservant…or, well, Sherlock does…this restaurant scene is the epitome. He wants John’s attention SO BAD. And John WILL NOT LOOK AT HIM

The music building as John stands there frozen in anger before he can actually speak

Sherls, girl, you GOTTA learn to read the room. This was not a “lighten the mood by mocking the mustache” kind of moment. He’s very right to throttle you

I don’t care. The number of restaurants they get kicked out of is absolutely hilarious. Martin Freeman’s “THIS BITCH” face when Sherlock asks John for his help after all the past two years of silence and this entire night…unmatched

Greg just lost a bet with Anderson…he’s so happy to see Sherlock

Oh god…is this the Sheriarty theory? I wanna befriend that girl. Or at least find her ao3. It ISSSSSSS

God I miss Jim

I wish they’d done better by Mary. I love how she is in this episode. I love her teasing John about Sherlock

Mycroft getting uncomfortable and offended and insisting Sherlock change the subject when it was suggested that he maybe should have gotten a “goldfish” *wink wink nudge nudge* while Sherlock was absent for two years. It’s giving 🧡💛🤍🩵💙 ya know? With possibly aplatonic too?

Bitch, fuck you. You played that entire deduction game to insinuate that your extremely aspec older brother is lonely only to then throw it in his face that “how would you know?” Get the fuck out of here. Look. I know I’m being a little jokey when I diagnose Mycroft aspec but….he has the vibes, my dears. I know neither Moffat nor Gatiss would ever confirm it, so it’s all headcanon, but I’m protective of my aspec headcanons

The way they get around censoring out “fuck off,” it was very good

I have so little interest in the cases Sherlock and Molly are solving

The episodes are better when there’s one big case or a bunch of small ones but they are explicitly connected from the beginning

You’re right. Molly does deserve better than you

Oh shit. I forgot this part where Sherlock and Mary have to go save John from brewing burned alive

Aw, happy November 5th (in universe) from six years before that date meant EVERYTHING to tumblr

It’s nice to see them getting along again

(OMG THERES HALF AN HOUR LEFT. HOW)

Oh. Right. The train case…see, this is why we need shorter episodes. I forgot about it in the time I was watching it

These stakes are too high and concrete. We need lower or more nebulous stakes. Like, they’re literally trying to keep Parliament from blowing up by train car bomb…is this the moment they out the skis on the ramp in order to make the jump fully over the shark?

How does Sherlock have Icelandic sheep wool facts stuffed away but not something useful like diffusing a bomb? Honestly, I don’t blame John for not believing this or the apology. I certainly don’t believe he doesn’t know

I can’t believe Anderson is disappointed in the (perhaps) real way Sherlock’s death and resurrection went down…except maybe not?? Who knows, honestly

It just….had an off switch?? Wtf? Punch him again. Do it, John.

Maybe it’s not just a degradation…perhaps it’s humiliation too.

So Molly has a type. There’s nothing wrong with that. She can move on with a guy who looks and dresses like Sherlock as long as he treats her miles better

You know, it’s nice he’s leaning into the deer stalker cap look

Our first look at Magnussen

[alicepao13]

It's been 84 years but anyway. S06E12. I liked it and I also thought it was good. Gets bonus points because it will certainly upset folks over at UPtv. And let’s not forget the one flashback scene with younger Sarah and Joe (although while I add points for that one, I immediately have to remove them again because they make the timeline so much harder. Let's just assume for the sake of everyone that Charlie and Rex were also on Major Crimes but had been busy with like, a double homicide).

Oh my god, can that detective be more instantly unlikeable? What do you mean, stating the obvious? Her job is literally to state facts!

Then I had to decide, was he just a condescending prick, was he a sexist prick or a racist prick?

Obviously I wasn’t rooting for a quick resolution on the hostage situation but the promo had made it clear that there would be one so I wasn’t holding my breath.

“I heard you on the podcast”. Once again, we’re famous, people. I can’t imagine that this will hinder any undercover ops.

Rex was making all his empathetic doggo noises again. He has already exonerated Gabriel.

“I don’t think he would have hurt me”. Yeah, Sarah, but maybe cops would have killed him regardless if it came to that. As much as I like Sarah’s empathy, Gabriel’s intention in that moment didn’t matter. And when Charlie says, “I didn’t know that”, that’s what he meant. He would have certainly shot Gabriel for putting a knife to Sarah’s throat. You know, if he was allowed to kill anyone in that show. I’m still waiting for the moment that he will be forced to kill an actual bad guy lol

Oh, hey, it’s a scene at home. Hi, home. Missed you.

I saw a comment about how Sarah needs to learn how to hold a wine glass properly. I’m like… would a forensics expert really need to know that? Really? This is shit you usually learn if you have to attend too many formal events. I personally found out only because it was an odd thing I’d noticed on Castle. And does Sarah really need to uphold such etiquette rules when she’s at home with Charlie? I’m always the one pointing that shit out, by the way. But mostly in the right situation. Someone from an upper class family would probably know that. Anyone else, not so much. So, it would make sense if no one from the Hudson and Rex characters knew that.

“He’s never been my favorite detective to work with”. Oh, who’s your favorite detective? Does his name start with Charlie and end with Hudson?

I think that as Sarah started working more with Charlie and Rex and they started getting in all those ridiculously dangerous situations, that probably also made her more self-assured. What better way to believe in yourself and not care about ruffling some feathers than managing to get out of multiple potentially lethal situations?

“You do know that dogs can see color, right?” Charlie Hudson is never beating the himbo allegations. Dogs can see colors in their own way. Putting in front of him differently colored cups, he obviously won’t see them as the vibrant colors that they have (these must be cups that Sarah bought, by the way), but dogs see them in their own way, mostly in shades of blue, yellow, brown and grey apparently (researched).

That asshole detective definitely mentioned Charlie and Sarah dating to throw Charlie off.

“Charlie, Porter is not going to like you for this”. Why would we care what another detective thinks? Also, we’re the A-Team! We don’t care what anyone thinks.

Whoa there, did you lose a button, Charlie? Or several? XD

Seriously, it’s unethical to treat your significant other’s tooth as a dentist? This sounds wild to me. It’s not open heart surgery. And what good is having a doctor to the family if you can't use them?

How much powder does it take to dust a magazine? That’s A LOT.

“I heard the dog found the murder weapon”. Come on, say that in front of Rex.

“It’s about professional respect and I thought I had yours” “Nothing’s changed on that front”. lol Joe.

Honduras is actually in Central America. Who wrote that script? If you want to slam a racist, make sure you actually know where the country is located. It couldn’t be more in the middle of Central America. And it’s annoying that this went through quite a few people and no one caught the mistake.

This is an incredible display of unprofessionalism from the immigrations lady. I mean, mentioning that she had tickets for a show so the SJPD should rush the case? I understand it was done for comedic purposes but wow.

The resolution of the case and the motive behind the murder were wild. And yet, while it was clearly the mother’s fault, I couldn’t help but think that the dead woman was incredibly nosy. Obviously the punishment for that shouldn’t be death, but still. She was up in everyone’s business.

“What’s the golden boy told you this time?” You’re jealous as fuck, dude. On top of being incompetent.

They didn’t tell us why Porter was transferred out of Major Crimes, right?

Hopefully Gabriel will sue the police.

I have noticed overly good critics about this episode and while as I said I liked it… I’m not of that crowd. What I mean is that I firmly believe that we’ve been consistently getting good episodes lately, and this was also good, in tone with the others. It was also a bottle episode, there was literally one outside location they went to. It was a pleasant surprise that they had a trans actor play a trans character because I’ve seen trans characters being portrayed too often by cis actors, and to have this show get it right… let’s just say that there’s no excuse for American shows after that. Hudson and Rex must have 1/10 of the budget and 1/100 of the actor pool of a regular American crime show.

Promo: I’m curious to see how the next episode will work. Especially since the promo barely gave away anything important. Also, did they go to another city to pretend that they were in Toronto? Because I think I remember that they'd film in another city. If so, that’s hilarious as Toronto has been masqueraded as various US cities. Karma :P

Ask 1, 2, 18 & 25!

S!!!!

What’s something new that you tried in a fic this year? How did it turn out? Would you do it again?

I wrote in first person! It's a Severus Snape/Charlie Weasley fic. (Be warn! It has canonical character death.) It was for the Liquid Luck's Never Have I Ever event and the event was to encourage us to try something new. I think it went okay. I do love the outcome of the fic. But will I write in first person again? If I have an idea brewing! Not in the foreseeable future though.

2. What’s something you learned about yourself as a writer?

I apparently love structure and rules. Fests requirements, prompt communities requirements, deadlines. I'll get things done, surprisingly! Or at least I'll get *something* done. It might not be the thing I set out to write, but you'll get something at the end. 🤣

18. Share an excerpt from your favorite scene

On the Precipice! My Matchablossom first date fic! It such a short fic but I love it so much.

Kaoru huffed. Annoyance at Kojiro's antics was as second nature to him as standing right beside his oldest friend. "I know what they are, stupid, but why do you have flowers?" "It's a date," said Kojiro, cheeks already hurting from the constant smile on his face. He felt the pendulum swinging back and forth, back and forth. Their relationship was teetering right on the edge. They both deserved to fall; it was decades in the making. Kojiro wanted to fall and continue to fall. He knew Kaoru wanted to fall, too.

25. What’s something you want to write in 2023?

Thorki. My OTP needs love. I need to give them love. They deserve it. <3

Thanks for asking! ❤️❤️❤️
