[r0semultiverse]

Was Celia drunk as fuck or is this something supernatural?? 👀

Who the fuck is Jack?? 👀

Alice is such a delight, I love her!

Oof so one or both of them have trauma involving grandparents then.

I love Samama & Alice so much. 💜 They have a great dynamic!

Oh shit, right, Gwen is probably still getting over Mr. Bonzo too. 👀

"I just… I dunno. When I left the coffee shop, it felt like someone was following me."

Please don't take away Alice, she's one of my faves! I hope this post doesn't age poorly. Watch me have to quote this post very soon.

OH NO, is it that [ERROR] following her??? 😰

"Don’t joke about that, mate. I was dreaming about it all day." Okay, yeah, that's a creature.

Sam & Alice are both about to run into a creature... 👀

"Classifying unspeakable horrors all night for no discernible reason?" @/entities-of-posts & @/which-entity-this-post-serves is that you? :]

Hmm, now why is this episode called "marked?" I assumed Mr. Bonzo was gonna find his mark, but maybe Alice is marked by an entity/creature that was locked in the Magnus Institute?

"giving up the ghost" okay so someone saw an apparition? Honestly not sure what entity this episode is about so far.

It's giving The Corruption ✨🧟‍♀️⚰️ (maybe The Buried)

"It’s just that one of the graves had a body in that was too well-preserved for the age it should have been." 👀👀👀

This thing is about to jump out of the grave & run off, isn't it? 🏃‍♂️

"The back was completely covered in this complicated tattoo of a ship sailing across an open sea towards an open horizon." Peter Lukas?!?!?

Oh 100% The Buried, without a shadow of a doubt.

Lots of tattoo & carvings in walls imagery in this sequel prequel sidequel, isn't there? 👀

Hey wait, that's Ink5oul from episode 2, isn't it? 👀 Ink5oul definitely feels like a conduit or vessel for The Flesh or some other kind of entity.

Okay, there's something weird going on with this place, the salt water & waves near this cemetery are kind of seemingly enticing them to come drown in it's waters. In the very least it's messing with these guys' mental states! Pretty freakkyyyy! 👀🌊

Also the repeated emphasis on dreams is interesting this episode, wonder if that'll play a part in something later on. 👀👀

"If it’s any consolation, he’s with the sea now. The deep will care for his bones." I literally called it!!

I think Gordon Alan Johnson also wants to be with David. 👀🌊🌊

I think Gordon Alan Johnson also wants to be with David. 👀🌊🌊

I don't know, Gordie, I think you did it! Unless Ink5oul is collecting tattoos like an alternate universe version of the Leitner books. Wait yeah, what if the tattoos are like conduits for the entities of this world or even the original one? 🖌

Another way to look at this is asking... Is The Deep a new entity/fear or is it a servant of a fear like The Vast? I stg there was a colossal water monster at some point in The Magnus Archives!

Okay so yeah, there's already a precedent for this. Also feels like The Lonely, The Buried, The Corruption, The Vast, & maybe even The Flesh are all involved in this one though I don't know if Flesh (Ink5oul) is working with or against the other fears at this time.

Gwen, you can tell your coworkers what's wrong, oh my fucking god. Please. Celia, you have me so invested in whatever is going on with you.

Weird unexplained noise at 17:44 too as Celia enters the office. Wonder what that's all about, maybe it'll come up later on.

"He is one of our Externals." Okay; so, there's more of them & they have their own secret hitman title too!

Mr. Bonzo when he was on TV

"And they usually like it." I bet fear creatures do like it when you scream. That makes a lot of sense actually.

Also what's that weird "boowomp" noise as they're talking or is it just the OST? 👀

Is Gwen going to be turned into something not quite human at some point? Just throwing darts at a board with that speculation, but wouldn't that be wild?

Okay; so, these little digitized noises are absolutely important!

I wonder how many times & when people have lied so far throughout this season. 👁️👁️

[fuckyeahcoelacanths]

You want to watch an hour-long episode of Nova all about the coelacanth?

Yeah, you do.

[fantastic-mr-corvid]

1, 7, 8, 11, 27 (or any combination thereof!) for Celia/Muro?

Ohh ty!!! had to do some thinking for some of these<3 for this ask game! under the read more bc it got longgg

1) Does your OC have a voice claim, if so who?

Alas accent issues strike again... in my head Muro sounds like a thicker version of my accent with some spanish pronunciation mixed in. i haven't watched much italian let alone nepolitian stuff so i couldn't say a lore accurate one either, but his voice is pretty deep and he has a smokers rasp.

7) Vice-Versa! If your OC is in the modern day, what fantasy class would they be? Would they be a different race?

Well the easy answer is that Celia would be an Aasimmar! in terms of fantasy class, as a direct translation of his stand power he would have to be some sort of heavy hitting but also magic user, possibly a warlock [deal with the devil ect...] with a focus on projectiles and defence... he would be multiclassing 100%, some sort of magic/fighter mix

8) What hobbies does your OC have? What do they do to unwind?

Music and cars! To unwind he loves nothing better than going down to the garage and tinkering away at a vehicle with music blaring, but he will settle for a nice audiobook at home

11) What was your inspiration for your OC?

the straight answer is a very stoic ffxiv dragoon oc, from ishguard aka fantasy england/the vatican, she had to take on the very deadly role of dragoon as it was the only upward mobility she had, and got involved in the underground resistance and criminal groups.

in terms of what other characters inspired him, there are a few main ones:

Alan[na] of Trebond: The lioness quartet made me transgender and ofc any oc based on [word of god genderfluid!!!] Alanna wouldnt stop at 'crossdressing for safety' and would be genderqueer as fuck with a complex relationship with being a man or a woman and really being fed up of the whole binary overall. Also redheads!

Honorary mention to Kel for being much closer to Muros stoic personality [Celia is more like Alanna]

Dio/Giorno: im a sucker for when people draw them with golden hair and i wanted to borrow that for my fancy new jjba oc!

Guts: ...

other than that there's a heaping chunk of my gender issues and lots of community trauma. Overall i just wanted to write a story i didnt read much of, and slowly put more and more of myself and the people i know in it

27) What's their spirit tamagotchi? Or an animal you associate them with?

Abused working dog. unlike some of my other ocs he doesnt really have an animal i associate him with [e.g. Mura: hare or snake] but hes the beaten dog to Conficcares abused cat

[no-1-rosalind-lang-apologist]

What classic children’s books (like the magic tree house, box car children, babysitters club; etc) would the ss characters have grown up reading in modern day?

This is solely based on ones that I'm familiar with, and my mom didn't let me read a lot of very normal things for odd reasons. (Not bad reasons just odd. It's a long story.) So. Disclaimer. Also some of these are a little older this has mostly just become books that they would have read in elementary/middle school and liked.

Juliette: Not a book but she either hated Gnomeo and Juliet and said that Juliet stole her name or she loved it and was obsessed with it. As for books? Nancy Drew.

Roma: Wanted to read Rainbow Magic Fairies so bad but his dad wouldn't let him because his dad is a dick. Land of Stories maybe? Series of Unfortunate Events.

Benedikt: Spiderwick Chronicles. Frog and Toad.

Marshall: Animorphs. Also definitely a Percy Jackson kid. Goosebumps. Geronimo Stilton. Read Twilight at 11 or something and was traumatized.

Rosalind: Dork Diaries, Rainbow Magic Fairies. Sisters Grimm.

Celia: Horse girl books because I thought about it for some reason idk and I think she would have had a horse girl phase. Also the idea of her being able to read Melissa or something like that makes me very happy.

Alisa: Series of Unfortunate Events. City of Ember. Warrior Cats. I Survived. Artemis Fowl. Elatsoe.

Orion: Rainbow Magic Fairies, Fugde. Also anything Oliver read because he looked up to Oliver a lot. He read Magisterium in middle school and 100% thought Cal and Aaron were gay for each other.

Oliver: The One and Only Ivan (and various other horrible sad middle grade books that are really really good and make you cry). Also Alan Gratz books. Carl Hiaasen books maybe?

Phoebe: Deeply unfortunate KOTLC phase and was definitely a Linhella shipper. She and Silas were both weirdly obsessed with The Spider and the Fly when they were little and it freaked Orion out. She read Ivy Aberdeen's Letter to the World in middle school and was a sobbing mess.

Silas: I'm claiming him as a Magic Treehouse kid. Also Mr. Lemoncello's Library. Ivy and Bean. The Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus books made him irrationally angry. Also you cannot tell me that 7 year old Silas did not sit there meticulously searching through Where's Waldo books for hours. Series of Unfortunate Events.

Out of curiosity I brought up ep 105 when they discuss their joint birthday. Same day, same age.

Last Tango in Halifax, S1E05

[Gillian on phone to Caroline] Caroline: Hello. Gillian: I spent 45 quid. That all right?

Caroline: Oh, that’s brilliant.

Gillian: Got a dressing gown…for you…for her to give to you. Just a white towel robe thing. 

Caroline: Perfect. That’s perfect. 

Gillian: If you don’t want it, I’ll have it. 

Caroline: No, it’s spot on.  Thank You. If you give me your bank details, I’ll transfer the cash. I’ll pay for her stuff as well.

Alan, Celia, Raff & Robbie playing cards in living room

Alan: That’s cheating!

Robbie: It isn’t (I think - kinda mumbled) 

Gillian: [on phone] When is it your birthday, by the way, out of interest? Just ‘cause it’s mine, tomorrow,

Caroline: Tomorrow. 

Gillian: [surprised] You’re kidding. It’s mine, tomorrow. How weird is that? 

Caroline: How old are you?

Gillian: How old are you? 

Caroline: Forty-six, I will be tomorrow. 

Gillian: That’s…

Caroline: You?

Gillian: Yeah.

Caroline: Good lord, that’s a bit…

Gillian: [starts to laugh] We’re twins.

Caroline: [bursts out laughing] Well, we’re something. 

Gillian: Are you winding me up? 

Caroline: No. I had no idea. 

[Card game. Celia looking at Raff’s cards]

Celia: Oh, he’s got a good hand! 

[Gillian interrupts the game]

Gillian: Hey! Oi! You’re never going to believe this. This is weird...

[change scene]

Slight nitpick re: LTIH fanfic. I’ve read some that note that Gillian had Raf was she was really young.

No, she didn’t. She got pregnant when she was 15 (after sleeping with Robbie) and aborted. Given Raf was 15, maybe 16 in Series 1, Gillian was turning 46. Which puts her somewhere btw 30-31 when she was pregnant with Raf. Eddie died when Raf was 6.

Jane Austen, Missing Presumed Lost, Most Wanted edition

I was intrigued by the other poll, because surely there were some other feature films (as opposed to TV versions) released prior to the 90s, aside from Pride and Prejudice (1940), but there really don't seem to be. Even the BBC seem to have been slow to adapt some of them at all.

Anyway, to use my brief and dodgy wikipedia-based research for something, which lost Austen TV adaptation would you most like to see if someone could just find it stashed in their attic?
