#but it's basically a murder mystery

[indestructiblelittlefuckers]

(I will forever love the take that Stede is basically a romcom character thrown in a period drama with comedic elements, so that's one of the reasons see things being so dark after Stede left him)

The whole "kill Imogen before Ludinus can use her" discussion from 4sd and now the "expendable" conversation from e87 KILLS me because they are so so close. Ludinus doesn't need Imogen.

Ludinus:

is not ruidusborn and bitter about it

has built a device that sucks the magical essence out of creatures (currently fey), but requires the user to be of the same magical essence

commissioned the conception of Fearne (gross) to be both ruidusborn and fey

is now surrounding himself with VERY POWERFUL RUIDUSBORN

I feel like it's been obvious for a while but Otohan fully TOLD THEM Ludinus needs Fearne for his plan to work. He set up his own personal food chain (food dominoes?) that currently goes:

fey -> Fearne -> all ruidusborn -> Predathos? -> the gods??

Imogen would be convenient on his side, and another source of power, but she is not the lynchpin. Fearne is. And right now she seems pretty cavalier about potentially getting caught :)

[sociallyrepressed]

It's cold, wet, and rainy the night Oscar dies. He doesn't even remember how it happened, no memories or phantom feelings of pain to associate with his demise. The only way he can describe it is this: he’s walking with the hood of his rain jacket pulled low over his eyes when he feels something comparable to a strong gust of wind launch him forward a couple of steps. When he turns around, it’s to see his own eyes staring blankly at him from the ground. He thought it would be the worst part of dying- seeing his own fragile body broken and bleeding. It takes nearly a day for him to realize that the loneliness is probably actually the worst part.

Lando Norris has curly hair and bright eyes and tan skin. He clashes horribly with the gray London skies, which is really what catches Oscar’s attention in the first place.

or: Oscar, Lando, and an unsolved murder.

[rowanoftheunknown]

one of the worst parts about being a watcher fan rn is that in theory I think having paywalled series isn't that bad and people are being needlessly eat the rich about it, but on a personal level the two series I don't like and don't watch are ghost files and dish granted, and they're the most expensive shows to produce....... Like I'm seeing a potential solution here

[the-eclectic-wonderer]

if you happen to enjoy any other sitcoms (tgg can be included here), what are your top 5 favs?

If not: top 5 fav TV series in general?

I do enjoy sitcoms in general, yeah! TGG is obviously in the top spot haha (both as a sitcom and as a TV series in general, it's my all-time favourite!!), but that feels a bit like cheating, so have my top 6 sitcoms instead:

The Golden Girls

Derry Girls

Life With Elizabeth

One Day At A Time (2017)

Bewitched (1964)

Casa Vianello

This last one is an Italian sitcom that was really popular when I was a kid, and it's a riot! It's the everyday life of an old married couple who bicker all day and all night but love each other to bits. The main actors were married and very in love in real life too -- to the point that they died within months of one another. They were one of Italy's most beloved famous couples.

Just for kicks (and because I like listing things!), have also my top 5 non-sitcom shows:

Only Murders In The Building

The Good Place

Good Omens

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend

Boris

This last one is Italian as well! It's a very funny satire show that pokes fun at Italian TV networks. Extremely quotable.

Thank you for the question!! You made me realize I should rewatch a few of these, haha!

Okay on the topic of crack treated seriously crossover isekai with mdzs, I've been batting about the daycare attendant from fnaf getting reborn into... Someone.

My first thought was obviously wwx, cuz main character, excellent wild card. I considered lxc, all smiley with a heavy heart and too much responsibility trying to care for everyone even as it ruins him. I considered NHS or jgy for that manic rodent customer service energy, I considered xy for his demonic cultivation and intensity, even jyl if you really wanted to lean into the crack energy, and also Moon snapping would be Excellent crouching tiger energy.

I also considered jc.

The thing about the robot DA, if you don't know,

Half is Sun, a frustrated, overworked, sarcastic mf dealing with his alter ai going insane and trying to kill/kidnap the kids they protect. He's anxiety riddled, pithy to adults, a bit of a control freak trying to scrabble together a semblance of balance in a steadily collapsing situation while trying to maintain himself while being terminally neglected. His sanity is hanging by a thread.

Its alternate, Moon, appears whenever it's naptime - ie, when the lights go out. Moon is an uncanny security guard of the pizza plex (imagine a giant themed mall slash party venue that fails basically every osha compliance) that acrobatically hunts down anything that moves when the other animatronics (basically tortured androids let's be real) are in recharge. Moon is corrupted by a semi computer semi haunted magic virus that makes him evil. Sun is left the responsibility of keeping it locked up in his head by never, ever, resting, or by being in the dark.

By the end of the games, sun and moon, the DA, is a shell of his former self. Despite being a multi million investment as a highly marketed, one of a kind animatronic with a worryingly lifelike ai (or two), the DA is abandoned by its creators and left to rot in the slowly crumbling ruins of the daycare, along with the half destroyed and monstrous forms of its fellow animatronics who aimlessly, sightlessly roam the halls. Sun is huddled in the last beam of light from a jacked generator, and when that finally dies moon is reduced to little more than a manmade beast in the dark as they too slowly run out of power, their powerful battery long stolen and grafted into someone else. Their kingdom boarded up and half destroyed, their own private apocalypse they cannot escape, the DA begs the next person he sees for a total reboot. The combined personality, eclipse, is a gentle and naive thing unable to perceive the reality of its situation. Until it runs out of power, it will be placid and calm, lost in its illusion of the past. It is, essentially, requested euthanasia. It's the kindest send off anything else in the pizza plex gets.

So, a snarky, bitchy guy with huge abandonment issues sick of trying to corral unruly kids without reward, constantly overlooked and frankly neglected in favour of the more successful and popular siblings, with deep rooted trauma about losing his core, too much responsibility and no support, desperately trying to keep himself from lashing out and causing irreparable damage and kinda failing? Who just wants to play stupid games and stop having to shoulder everything himself? Fiercely protective of children but also not immune to pettiness?

Yeah, at that point it's not even a question. Let's give jc an identity disorder and a crippling fear of water.

actually, this comment means a lot to me

[thetimelordbatgirl]

Ngl, kinda funny people are insisting we've now lost one of the best Star Wars shows when like....not really lmao. Sure, it had potential and honestly, it did good introducing new characters instead of focusing on old ones for the 100th time. But it went off the rails completely when deciding to go Reylo route and killing off at least three likeable characters in the end, aka Jecki, Yord and Sol.

Oh, shoot.

Just had the image of Jazz being the one who got Mnemosurgeried and he's already in Orion's pocket and doesn't take kindly to this like a double epilogue of the Dream Team solvingbit and Rung getting arrested and then second layer epilogue of Jazz being let into Rung's holding cell and telling him he doesn't appreciate what the doctor did to him and he'd like to play with Rung himself but someone else wanted to meet him.

In walks, Orion who has an offer as he'd like someone woth Rung's skills in his pocket and Rung definitely takes him up on his offer to work for him but mentions he'd "need his assistant" cue Trepan being snatched by the OP police to be Autobot-ed.

Rung also smiles and mentions he knows so many people who need a little help and perhaps a "new Prime" is exactly what they need to do it.

(Sorry if I am overstepping with yes and-ing)

wAIT YES

oh jazz

Oh Jazz

Makes perfect sense Jazz would be thoroughly connected to Ori, I'm remembering a SG fic I read a while back with mob boss Jazz (I still don't know if I regret reading that fic or not, I couldn't make it through the entire thing but it was a fascinating concept and in this context it'd be also interesting considering how he's his own famous singer)

Oh no

cue Trepan being snatched by the OP police to be autobot-ed

Oh no (oh yes)

A new prime? Hearing that makes me start to think this is a pre-war au, rather than a no war one... :)
