James Allodi & Callum Keith Rennie in "Wilby Wonderful" (2004)

@ds30below

duck deserves his own shoutout! i only have this to add: it's amazing how ckr's whole demeanor here is so different from what we get used to in his general screen presence. it's like his whole face transforms, something deep there relaxed into a quiet, still sort of kindness.

one of my favourite scenes in wilby is carol's breakdown. sandra oh is stellar in it, but the way ckr plays duck's reaction, almost completely silent but with this immediate shift into compassion visible in details like the set of his mouth, gets to me.

oh, lol, and if anybody has the commentary track, please point them my way. thank you!

Not-lead characters that I adore beyond reason: An Advent Calendar

Day 12 : Duck McDonald (Callum Keith Rennie) in Wilby Wonderful [2004]

Obsession can take you to some terrible terrible places. That’s not a précis of the film, it’s a description of my years as a CKR fan (hands up who else owns Trapped on DVD, eh?). But it can also take you to very wonderful places, and Wilby is one of them, and Duck is the most wonderful of its inhabitants.

Oh, Duck. While all the madness and heartbreak and despair and dodgy dealing and bad relationships and awkwardness goes on around him (this makes the film sound traumatic, which it’s not, it’s really blackly comic) he’s the still, small, centre of the film; a quiet, steady, zen-like presence, the guardian angel of the town. He’s also waiting for something, for someone, but with infinite patience. And he’s such a damn cutie, especially at the end.

I will admit the first time I watched WW I had a moment of existential breakdown when Duck is in the car with Buddy, because until then I’d never really believed that Due South was over, and then here those two idiots were, and there was no going back. But once that passed I got to enjoy it for the glorious film it is, and for the bloody fabulous character Duck is. And to see CKR in a check shirt and jeans. Hell yeah.

now that the olympics are officially over, i wanted to share some more of my favorite moments from the second week of these games:

Rebeca Andrade finally got her gold in floor!!!!

the kayak cross course in canoe slalom is wild, it starts with a huge drop into the water and ends with a required barrel roll

the entire men's pole vault final was awesome and had everything! Armand Duplantis of sweden broke the olympic record and his own world record while his fellow athletes cheered him on. Emmanouil Karalis won bronze for greece and gave Mondo (duplantis) a bandaid after he hurt his hand. Sam Kendricks, who won silver for the U.S., also cut his hand and wiped it off on his arm. Mondo's mom filmed his record breaking jump on an ipad. after making the jump, Mondo posed like Yusuf Dikeç (turkish shooter guy) and ran off to kiss his girlfriend. incredible. iconic. showstopping.

actually, posing like Yusuf Dikeç became the go-to pose for a bunch of athletes

Mijaín López from cuba won his 5th CONSECUTIVE gold medal in greco roman wrestling. that's 20 straight years of being the reigning olympic champion

Arisa Trew, the 14 year old aussie who won gold in women's park skateboarding, is getting a pet duck from her parents for winning

a whale decided it wanted to try its fin at surfing during the surfing semi-finals

UK's skateboarding team looked like a middle school field trip with the class' favorite math teacher, except that teacher just happened to be 51 year old skating legend Andy Macdonald. just to put it into perspective, Andy Macdonald is on the same legend level as Tony Hawk. they're close friends and used to compete in vert doubles together. Tony Hawk cheered him on from the stands with Snoop Dogg, and he got a huge ovation after his run. also shout out to Sky Brown, who's 16 and got bronze again this year, even with a recent dislocated shoulder injury.

Alice D'amato's reaction to winning gold on balance beam <3 the first gold women's gymnastics medal for italy

Tara Davis-Woodhall and her husband's reaction to her winning gold in long jump for the u.s.

there were so many proposals. sooooo many proposals

Guatemala and Botswana also won their first ever gold medals, with Adriana Ruano Oliva winning women's trap shooting and Letsile Tebogo winning men's 200m

and, of course, Imane Khelif winning gold after all the harassment against her

Jegumas day 5: snowball fight @noblehouseofgay

word count: 752

other pairings: rosekiller, wolfstar, marylily, dorlene, pandora x xenophilius

Down came the first heavy, sticking snowfall of winter, and out ran the new adults. All of whom had just recently graduated Hogwarts. Of this group contained Sirius and Remus, attached at the hip, Peter, happy to be included, Mary Macdonald and Lily Evans, chattering away about something or other, Marlene McKinnon and Dorcas Meadows, who had recently gotten together and we’re still very much crushing on each other, Barty Crouch Jr. and Evan Rosier, both of which are batshit crazy and already planning how they were going to “win” the snowball fight, Pandora Rosier and Xenophilius Lovegood, of whom Pandora was explaining nargles to a heavily infatuated Xeno, and James Potter and Regulus Black, Regulus talking a very smiling James’ ear off about some poet he recently came across. Peter, being the only single person (and wishing to stay that way), decides to be the mediator and ref.

“Couples, attention please!! You will all have 5 minutes to construct a shelter of your choice. Whether that be an igloo or just a wall is not my business. Afterwards, you will get an extra two minutes to create snowballs for ammunition. If you run out of snowballs, you are granted a 30 second immunity period to restock. If you as a single person are hit 3 times, you are out. If both partners are out, you lose. May the best couple standing win. Good luck!” Peter announces confidently, guiding everyone through the rules concisely.

Peter blows his whistle and the couples are off, giggling and running hand in hand as they start to build their shelter. James and Regulus, Regulus being inexplicably good at creating blocks of snow and James being stereotypically good at contructing the base, fly through the construction irregularly quick.

As Peter blows the whistle again, everyone starts making the snowballs.

And it starts.

Barty and Evan, right out the gate, go for Marlene, James, and Xenophilius, all of whom are the main threats due to accuracy and strength. Quickly, Pandora and Xeno are out with a blow of Peter’s whistle. Panda takes this as a golden opportunity to strike up a conversation on Thestrals with Xeno, who is more than happy to indulge.

Marlene gets out fairly quickly due to targeting, and they go out dramatically too. “Avenge me, my love!! Never forget your beautiful sexy gorgeous partner, for whom you must win this for!!” Marlene says overzealously, causing Dorcas to turn to them in exasperation. About to open her mouth to tell Marlene to shut up, they get hit three times, out with a sigh and going to join Peter, Panda, and Xeno on the sidelines. It’s now down to James and Regulus, Barty and Evan, Remus (Sirius got out due to getting distracted staring at Remus), and Mary and Lily, who are building a snowman family behind their shelter.

“Remus!! Truce?” James calls to him, gesturing to target Barty and Evan. Remus nods, firing off snowballs at the other couple. Barty gets hit twice, one from James, one from Remus, and dodges the rest of the throws. As he’s gloating to them all, he gets hit square in the face by a perfectly formed snowball, Mary having thrown it to get him to be quiet, and rendering him dumbfounded. Evan fires off snowballs towards Mary and Lily, only hitting each of the girls once.

During this, Regulus has been keeping low and making snowball after snowball for the absolute powerhouse that is James Fleamont Potter to fire off to Evan Rosier. After way too long, and an upsetting defeat of Mary Macdonald, Evan is finally out, narrowing it down to James and Regulus, Lily, and Remus. Remus and Regulus, both refusing to hit Lily, make James do it, unfortunately knocking her out of the running, making Mary and Lily fall into third place. Regulus unexpectedly nails Remus right in the chest, stunning him momentarily, long enough for James to hit him once as well. As Remus ducks down to collect a few more snowballs, James prepares a throw as legendary as Marie Curie radioactivity discoveries. The second Remus straightens up, the snowball is launched…

flying…

and flying…

and flying…

Time seems to slow as the snowball soars through the air, finally reaching its destination and hitting Remus square in the chest.

Cheers fill the air as James and Regulus jump up in celebration.

Handshakes are exchanged and words of encouragement are expressed as they rush inside for some of James’ famous hot chocolate to warm up.

Call Sign | Harvey x Reader

Harvey has a surprise for the farmer involving his favorite hobby.

“What are you doing?” you asked, watching Harvey tinker with his pilot radio. He was still in his pajamas—an odd sight, to be sure.

“GAH!” He jumped in front of the radio, throwing his arms out to shield it from view. “Nothing! Go do your chores, honey. I’ll be here when you get back.”

“Is your radio broken? I can order some more parts; you don’t have to fix it yourself—” You began to cross over to him.

“No, no, it’s in tip-top shape.” Harvey smiled awkwardly.

“Then why are you being... weird?”

“I’m not being weird. If anything, you’re being weird.” He wrapped his arms around you, pulling you in for a hug. “Go do your chores, dear. I’ll make breakfast, and we can eat together when you get back.”

“Alright...” You kissed his cheek. “I love you, you dork. Don’t electrocute yourself.”

“I love you too. Go, go!” He flicked a wrist at you, as if to say ‘shoo’.

Rolling your eyes, you went outside to tend to your crops and animals. The morning sun warmed your back as you worked, but your thoughts kept drifting back to Harvey’s odd behavior. You wondered what he could be hiding.

An hour later, everything was finally done, and you stepped back into the house.

As promised, breakfast was waiting for you on the table, but your beloved husband was not.

“Harvey? I’m back!” You called down the hallway towards your bedroom.

“Coming!” He responded, before hurrying down the hallway, still tying his tie. “I’m sorry, honey, I thought I had more time.”

“No worries, Harv, it’s just breakfast.”

You couldn’t help but notice the excited glint in his eyes as you sat down to your meal. He asked you about how the farm was doing, and though he seemed genuinely interested in your responses, you could tell he was suppressing a grin.

As soon as you had scraped the last bit of egg from your plate, Harvey swept it off the table.

“You cooked, hon, I can do the dishes...” You started as he ran the water in the sink.

“No, no. You go freshen up. I have a surprise for you.” He couldn’t stop the grin from lighting up his features, making you smile right alongside him.

“Okay... how long do I have?”

“Half an hour should be plenty of time for me to get it finished.” He said confidently. “Go, before I use all the hot water on these dishes!”

“I’ll see you in half an hour, then.” You sighed, smiling to yourself as you grabbed a fresh set of clothes and disappeared into the bathroom, pondering what on earth he could possibly be doing.

When you emerged, feeling much better, he was waiting in the bedroom.

“It’s ready!” He motioned for you to follow him into his hobby room.

A new set of headphones rested on a new chair, right next to his.

“Harvey...” You were speechless.

“Surprise!” He said triumphantly, sweeping his hand with a flourish. “I ordered these weeks ago, but they just came in this morning. I thought we could listen for planes together!”

“Harvey.” You took his hands and looked into eyes. “I would love nothing more.”

He grinned at that, leading you to your new chair. “First, we have to come up with a call sign for you. Mine is Dr. H, but it really just has to be three syllables or less.”

“Hm...” You touched a finger to your chin, thinking. “I think it should be a play on Farmer, since that’s what everyone calls me.”

“Hmm...” Harvey adjusted his glasses. “MacDonald? Bo Peep? Mother Duck?”

“Those are good, but... I’ve got it! Farmer Brown!”

His eyes lit up. “That’s perfect, sweetheart! Dr. H and Farmer Brown. I like it!”

You smiled, reveling in his happiness. “I know it’s early, but do you think there is any air traffic?”

“Only one way to find out!” He grinned. “Allow me.” He ceremoniously slipped the headphones on your head, and you marveled at how well they fit. He flicked a few switches, and the machine whirred to life.

“Okay...” He mumbled as he settled his headphones onto his head. “This is Dr. H and Farmer Brown at... 52 North, 43.5 east, seeking aerial response. Anyone out there?”

The static buzzed in your ears before a voice came through. “Copy... Dr. H and Farmer Brown on the ground. This is Sparrow Eighty Eight, anything to report?”

Harvey squeezed your hand, the excitement in his eyes only adding to your own. He tilted his head towards you, signaling you to go ahead. You had heard him give ground reports enough to piece one together on the spot from his equipment. “Standard Ground report: Wind is at two clicks, 36 degrees south of west. Ground temperature is 43 kraggs. Humidity is 34 percent.”

“Thanks, Dr. H and Farmer Brown. Sparrow Eighty Eight Out!”

“Dr. H and Farmer Brown out!” Harvey responded before jumping out of his seat. “Let’s go see if we can see the plane!”

You barely had time to remove your headphones before he dragged you to the porch, earnestly looking into the sky.

Sure enough, a plane passed overhead, and Harvey could only stare at it in awe.

“That was amazing!” He said, grinning from ear to ear. “A real TR-Starbird! You did so good, honey. I’m so proud!”

Before you could react, he scooped you into a hug. You closed your eyes, savoring the moment. “We should really make a habit out of plane spotting together!”

“I would love nothing more, my dear.” He said as he kissed the top of your head.
