@cinemaocd mentioned you on a post “Mark Rylance and Kate Phillips as Thomas Cromwell...”:

@terribleoldwhitemen: Ur tags! EXACTLY! Fuck all Jane/Crom flirtation in the book though she does troll him over the wedding night which I'm still pissed that they didn't include (maybe somehow it will be in the next ep?) but it was a let down for me because it felt like she was building an arc and then dumped it.

​right!! I thought perhaps I wasn't smart enough to catch what mantel was doing in regards to dropping that thread completely in MatL, but I was certainly disappointed, especially with the way the miniseries brought it to the fore. extremely excited to see it highlighted again (even if this first episode is all we end up getting).

For the WIP meme:

The Downtown Club New York 1968

this is the one I have least written for, because I got the prompt just last week for my intoabar fic! I chose Crowley as the character who goes into a bar and Harlots, Slings & Arrows and Merrily We Roll Along as my crossover fandoms. I've written one crossover with Crowley before (with Harlots) and have another I want to write, but that's not how the dice fell this time.

my assignment: Crowley goes into a bar and meets... Mary Flynn (Merrily We Roll Along)!

Merrily goes backwards from the late 1970s to the late 1950s, and I've written a series of fics set post-canon (pre-show?) and one much later (my previous intoabar crossover with Slings & Arrows, where post-canon Geoffrey Tennant meets Charley Kringas), so the first decision was when in the Merrily timeline to set it.

the fic will follow the scene in Frank's apartment where Mary (who has been teetotal) starts drinking for the first time because she's distressed about Frank's affair with Gussie (who is married to Frank and Charley's producer, Joe). Frank is supposed to join Mary and Charley (and Charley's wife, Evelyn) for a celebration at the Downtown Club, described by Frank as "a smoky Greenwich Village dive", but we know by the end of the scene that he's going to stand them up because of Gussie.

the current Broadway cast (Daniel Radcliffe as Charley, Jonathan Groff as Frank, and Lindsay Mendez as Mary) singing "Old Friends", the song from earlier in the apartment scene, before Gussie and Joe arrive and everything falls apart.

in the GO timeline this follows the Soho 1967 scene ("you go too fast for me, Crowley")...

I'm on my third rewatch of the O.C. since it aired and I'm finally coming to grips with the way the showrunners did Marissa dirty. I think Mischa Barton should get some kind of back pay for hazardous duty for enduring the show...

It's completely messed up that she was the actual age of the character she was playing, while everyone else was playing younger, was far more experienced in life and in acting. It was messed up that she was in a relationship with her older male co-star and that was just OK with everyone. It was messed up that the writers seemed to go out of their way to create "make Marissa miserable" story lines that drove away Mischa's fans from the show...just messed up.

Anyway, love your blog.

Thanks for sending this in :))) I appreciate it. Sometimes I feel like I'm in an echo chamber of how horrendously the character and her actress were treated in tandem so it's nice when people reach out and feel similarly and remind me I'm not the only one who thinks this is bullshit. Like, I do love many parts of the show so much, but holy fuck was it a shit show on both sides of the camera.

ETA: I will say that MB fans were ride or die Marissa fans. They held on for 3 years of the character being tortured and were extremely over it all when TPTB did what they did and vowed not to watch anymore. It's what got the show finally cancelled (despite what TPTB says about 325 being the only reason they could even make a final crap season). That last season basically lost half their viewership.

I saw in the Night Club tag you were going. I am going tonight in MN. So excited, just hoping you had a great night at the show...

Omg fuck yeah! Had such a fucking incredible time, Emily's stage performance in this little punk dive bar was 11/10

@cinemaocd well matl only really handles her interactions with cromwell which all take place at hunsdon iirc, it's possible the mini will cheat and put her back at court too early to save on location shooting.

yeah, i've read the scene ( the historically-accurate creepy ring gifted by cromwell, and cromwell's historically inaccurate...presence). i'm not really planning on watching, but i hope it's not adapted at all, and the script has its own original interpretation, tbh. i found it pretty gross.

between ‘she was served with more ceremony than ever before’ (she had 30 attendants, versus fitzroy’s 100+) and:

… we really have yet to have a narrative able to grapple with the complexities of mary’s life in the henrician era mid 1536-1547.

No gay sex in the chapter I'm working on...thinking about having my OC bite someone though...

Now I’m listening to America (thanks Jenny) but “I Need You” is making me cry because it’s what they played when Jesse died on All My Children (before he was miraculously resurrected) and man, but Jesse and Angie were so friggin’ ICONIC that I am still crying about them lo these many years later.

Oooh, a chess episode

Me in 2013 sneaking out of my parents’ house to frantically apply fake stubble in a hotel bathroom: sure hope this doesn’t awaken anything in me

I’m totally going to end up having to goose my natural beard quotient with a stipple sponge… time to experiment. Why can I not fixate on a character who’s clean-shaven like a newborn baby? (Because Hugh Dancy clean-shaven looks like a newborn baby, that’s why.)

The plaid shirt I bought in 2013 for my Will Graham cosplay at Convergence rapidly became part of my normal day to day wear and I’m already preparing to do that with the shirt I bought in 2023 for my Will Graham cosplay at Convergence. I am even less capable of growing a nice beard in 2023 than I was on 2013.

(Thanks for thinking of me, J.) ❤️

I’m neither of the above. I can’t get into the idea of sitting on his lap because marble is HARD., ouch! Give me a big soft sculpture to sit on any day! Or like if Lincoln was a bouncy castle, maybe. BOUNCY BOUNCY OOH SUCH A GOOD TIME!

But more power to anyone who does want to climb onto his lap. No such thing as a “too big” statue, IMO.

My worst hear me out is the Abraham Lincoln sitting statue. I wanna sit on his lap.

Located at the western end of the National Mall in Washington D.C., designed by Daniel Chester French, carved from marble by the Piccirilli brothers. 19 feet (5.8 meters) tall. If he were standing, Lincoln would be 28 feet (8.5 meters)

It’s possible Daniel Chester French intended Lincoln’s hands to be signing “A.L.,” as French had a son who was deaf and was familiar with sign language

Reminder, the premise is “would a normie think it’s weird to find them attractive?” (Would they have to “hear me out?”)
