I'm not really in the habit of following pictures of actors but it just struck me I can look at any picture of Aneurin Barnard and just the look on his face even in a still photo is good enough for me to see what character he's playing. That's probably like... obvious? If someone is doing a good job at acting? But I don't know why that really impresses me that he can even make his default expressions different between characters. I never noticed it before him and probably it's obvious to others so it makes me mad at myself ahhhhhh

Just thinking about Dead In A Week that film is so unserious

[dango-daikazoku]

"that's an embarrassing way to die, to be killed by a hippo"

"my parents were killed by a hippo"

"oh, sorry"

"i'm joking my parents weren't killed by a hippo"

"oh hahaha..."

"they died in a car crash"

Just finished watching Dead In A Week (or your money back) and it was fantastic. I love this kind of film, with dark sort of absurd humour and the emo wet cat kind of protagonist.

🎬 Dead in a Week: Or Your Money Back, 2018

After yet another failed attempt to commit suicide, the hapless writer William turns to the services of a hired killer Leslie, an implacable angel of death from the "Assassins' Guild" - an organization ready to help anyone who needs a quick and painless end to life. Leslie has a kind heart, but an unsteady hand. The authorities dream of sending him into retirement, and the contract that has turned up is the only chance to delay the inevitable. However, chance intervenes: fate suddenly smiles on William, and he falls in love.

I'm not an extrovert. At all. In everyday life, I'm a yapper, sure, but I need someone to first assure me I am okay to yap, so I don't start conversations, even when I really want to join in sometimes! It's just the social anxiety acting up. God knows where from and why I lose a lot of my inhibitions when it comes to talking to people about music. I don't know where the confidence has suddenly sprung from. I've made a crazy amount of friends in musical circles, either just talking to people about common music or (since it is after all in music circles) talking to bands about their own music. I let out a sigh of relief any time an interaction goes well, because in truth it's going against my every instinct. I wish I could do that in everyday life

Summoning lordbettany to ask if she remembers any other scenes where Ni is asleep (or just generally chilling in a horizontal way). So far I've got:

Mozart

the guy from Lady W whose name escapes me at this moment

Daniel in the 1899 storm ep, being all post-coitus

Richard in his depressed era aka my entire gothic romance moodboard

the very brief scene in Thirteen where he's sitting on the bed Thinking about Stuff

I feel like I'm missing some. This may or may not be related to me needing some bed-related Ni pics for my fic 🙏

William Morrison after hiring himself an assassin for £2,000

[prometheus-ghost]

I just remembered I had a dream last night in which me and William Morrison (as played by Aneurin in "Dead in a Week [or your money back]") were escaping triumphantly first by car then in a two-person plane from some dangerous situation and landed on a remote island where we found the head of the android "Mother" from Raised by Wolves. It was actually a really fun dream 😁

If a costuming department is gonna do anything it’s put Anuerin Barnard in a popped collar.
