third benoit blanc film where he’s wearing an engagement ring this time but no one acknowledges it or says anything

[my-t4t-romance]

just watched The Glass Onion (a benoit blanc mystery) and holy SHIT that was good. could never have predicted how it would end up. also I need that shot of a certain antagonist holding their face after the loss of something very dear to them as a reaction gif

[kimboo-york]

I fully expect and even demand that next year's Yuletide have a LOT of Benoit/Phillip "backstory" Benoit Blanc Mysteries fic, c'mon, fandom, don't let me down. We've got a whole year to plan!

[teabree-shark]

I’m setting up the window air conditioner for the summer. It’s one of the probably last comfortable days we’ll get, the sun is medium-low in the afternoon sky, and a thought hits me. I can’t find my phone, so I crawl over the moved shelves and boxes and styrofoam to the office to grab my ipad.

It’s better that way. The keyboard allows me to get the words onto the page more quickly than if I was tied to an onscreen keyboard.

INT, 1

The camera starts low, pointed almost vertically down at the threshold between a dingy hotel carpet and an even dingier hotel linoleum entryway. The brass strip between the two has seen better days, and is dented with age.

BLANC (OFFSCREEN):

“Now, the situation here is just, ah, biz-arre, with nothing but a few sticks and jars and bobs of make-up, all arranged neatly on the bathroom counter.”

OFFICER 1 (OFFSCREEN):

“Well, she did leave a note. And that’s what we called you here for, it’s—“

BLANC (PANNING UP INTO VIEW, HOLDING A PIECE OF BLOODY PAPER):

“—song lyrics, I can see that. But the words don’t make no damn sense, even for, from what I can gather, is a love ballad. What do you think she meant by, “

(SCENE CHANGE TO THE TOP OF THE NOTE, CAMERA FOLLOWING THE WORDS AS HE READS THEM WITH BLIND CUTS)

“‘Paralytic states of dependency, no living life, just a living dream’”

OFFICER 2 (OUT OF FOCUS, BEHIND THE HELD UP PAPER, LIFTING HIS HEAD FROM A TASK TO CHIME IN AS THE CAMERA SMASH FOCUSES TO HIM):

“It’s the last line that gets me, detective. I don’t think this was—“

(SCENE CHANGE TO THE FINAL LINE ON THE PAPER, BLANC READS IT OUT LOUD ALONG WITH THE CAMERA MOVEMENT)

BLANC:

“Yeah, I can see that. ‘No resolution for the new year beginning tomorrow.’

(CAMERA CHANGE TO A BODY LYING IN A BATHTUB IN THE BACKGROUND, HEAVILY OUT OF FOCUS, A RECENTLY REFILLED BOTTLE OF ESTRADIOL VALERATE 2MG IN THE FOREGROUND SITTING ON THE EDGE OF THE HOTEL BATHROOM SINK)

BLANC:

“I don’t think we should rule this some- ah, some sort of suicide.”

(THE CAMERA PULLS UP AND BACK, TO AN IMPOSSIBLE VIEW OF THE ENTIRE HOTEL ROOM LAYOUT, JUST ABOVE WHERE THE CEILING WOULD BE, LOOKING DOWN AT AN ISOMETRIC ANGLE, SHOWING THE ENTIRE TWO-ROOM STRUCTURE, SURROUNDED BY BLACK, AS IF IN A CONSTRUCTION VIEW IN A VIDEO GAME OF A BUILDING LAYOUT IN The Sims OR SIMILAR)

(THE TITLE CARD APPEARS ON STRING WITH A DRAMATIC MUSICAL CUE)

Get to know my TWST OCs pt. 1

"What Are They Twisted From?"

💫💫💫

Figured maybe doing a series of posts like this would help friends and mutuals get to know my OCs better!

(I'll also throw in some of the other characters aside from my main boys, given they're also important, even though I've not mentioned them much!)

Copper Benoit: Though this wasn't originally my intention, Copper wound up being a double twist! Initially he was a twist of Penny from The Rescuers and this remains set in his backstory and aspects of his appearance and design, as well as how he interacts with others early on. But during a lot of the brainstorming process with my wanting to incorporate elements of Penny continually finding so much pirate treasure during her captivity, I realized that a lot of his development took a totally different turn, and ultimately he becomes a twist of Captain Barbossa from the PotC movies.

Mr. Gorgania Stone: Copper's abusive captor, twisted from Madame Medusa from The Rescuers

Mr. Hiram Lurk: Stone's lackey, twisted from Mr. Snoops from The Rescuers

Augustus & Octavian: Stone's pet alligators (nicknamed Gusty and Tavie by Copper,) twisted from Brutus & Nero from The Rescuers

Old Flynn: an elderly cat beastman who worked at the orphanage where Copper spent his early years of his life, twisted from Rufus from The Rescuers

Wei Renqiao: while some details will be subject to adjustment and fine-tuning as I continue to do research and study appropriately, WRQ is twisted from Shan Yu from Mulan!

Wei Xinyi: the bigender/genderfluid older cousin of WRQ and fellow community leader, Xinyi accidentally wound up being a twist of Fa Mulan from Mulan! Happened before I realized it and honestly I like it too much to not just embrace it.

Wei Gang: the uncle of both Wei Renqiao and Wei Xinyi and fellow community leader with them, he has aspects twisted both from The Emperor of China and the First Fa Ancestor from Mulan

Hé: a young dragon secretly being raised by the Wei family, Hé is inspired by the Great Stone Dragon that was accidentally broken by Mushu with personality elements from Cri-kee (though they can shift to travel size for convenience~) from Mulan

Chrysanthos Shroud: while I think it's safe to say that all born members of the Shroud family have aspects of Hades in them (which is such a huge part of why I love them and I wouldn't have them any other way,) a great deal of the snappier aspects of Chrys's personality and his vulnerability issues are twisted from Meg from Hercules. Chrysanthos; his friends call him "Chrys", at least they would if he had any friends.

Ilias Shroud: Chrys's father, twisted from The Fates from Hercules

Kallisto Shroud: Chrys's mother who married into the family, twisted loosely from The Muses from Hercules

Debating whether to do OC nicknames from Floyd and Rook and the reasons behind them next, or whether to go over Signature Spells/Unique Magic for each character next.

The Anatole Siblings: more recent OCs, these three are twisted from the kittens from The Aristocats
