New Scotland Yard: Hard Contract (1.5, LWT, 1972)

"I was just wondering what it was like to kill somebody."

"Well, that's a nice thought to start the day, innit?"

"In all my stint in the army, I never did. Not like -"

"Not like me."

"Yeah, well, you bagged a few terrorists in your time, didn't you? I was just wondering..."

"What it was like?"

"Yeah."

"Well, it... it was like... like nothing. You just sit on a roof and wait. For movement. The sun on a rifle. Just a flash, a glint. The first bullet gets you - or gets them, it's as simple as that."

"No involvement?"

"None."

[raviollies]

did theta turn/got turned into a fey like blythe or was she like already born as a cool ass skull nature green hag already?

In true tragic fashion...she was turned just like her a long time ago. The nature of abuse is often cyclical, and I am drawing from experience of the older generation inflicting the same abuse they suffered onto the young generation due to the belief that it's the "right way."

At one point Theta also was a High Elf, who became a hexblood and later a green hag. It was many centuries ago, and she most likely does not even recall what her elven life was like. Perhaps it's the curse of her being a fae for so long, perhaps it's just how her mind learned to cope with it--- but she is of the opinion that the hag that turned her was correct. That she turned out to be an incredibly powerful witch, and now it's her turn to guide another woman, just like she was guided long ago. And in time, Blythe will understand it too. And when the time comes, she will guide someone else.

actors on actors | tom blyth

summary: tom and reader are paired for variety’s actors on actors.

an: full credit goes @prettylittlels for the idea!! thank you!!🫶🏼 you can choose what film you’re in and your character for this fic :)

“were you a hunger games fan growing up?” you asked tom. you and tom were paired together to be in a new edition of actors on actors for variety. you were seated across tom.

“i did read the books, watched the movies, but they were unavoidable. i remember going to midnight screenings of the movies with my mum.” tom nodded.

“i loved going to midnight screenings! we need to bring those back,” you replied. midnight screenings were your favorite when you were a teenager. you loved going with your best friends and sometimes your parents, but they always ended up sleeping halfway through the movie.

tom then asked about your character. “i definitely made multiple playlist for them. i just love making playlists. they for sure listen to some sad stuff like mitski. but i enjoyed everything about them.”

“i think snow would listen to money, power, glory by lana del rey. it’s going on his playlist while he’s getting his hair ready.” he laughed.

“oh my god, snow is a lana stan.”

after a while, you talked about your upcoming projects. tom’s new project was an adaptation of ernest hemminway’s novel alongside olivia cooke while you were finishing up filming the remake of nosferatu as ellen hutter.

“then i might take a break. i’ve been working nonstop for about three years and i’m forever grateful for all the opportunities. i just want to lay down for a bit.” you admitted with a laugh.

“i’ll join you.”

plot/synopsis:

'pocket worlds' have always been and will always surround us. they sit just on the outside of our world, simply existing on separate planes of the universe. these worlds are only accessible by incredibly hard-to-reach, specific keys. you're familiar with them, i assure you.

neverland? wonderland? narnia? andalasia? the other world? idris? the house? faerie? the underworld?

(peter pan, alice in wonderland, the lion the witch and the wardrobe, enchanted, coraline, shadowhunter chronicles, keys to the kingdom, various)

there is a scientist who exists on a nearby plane of the universe - in a magical kingdom named aireverie. norman sulphrin's research has lead to his ownership of 4 major keys. fairytale keys.

now, you didn't think that these tales were all fiction - did you? how do you suppose so many countries discovered near-exact stories ... sharing them down generations. there can only be one explanation: these fairytale worlds exist greatly close to ours.

having finally listened to other noel coward plays, design for living is god damn INSANE. ive listened to hay fever and present laughter, and read the first act of blythe spirit. all these plays are comedically structured, hilarity building on the goofy relationships btwn the characters. there’s a “oh you!” sense to the humor. there’s also constant play w social conventions in these plays. the climax of present laughter is the successive moments ppl propose to join him at the end — one a girlfriend who SAYS she doesnt expect marriage and another a man who is obsessed with him (which is explicitly made a joke of when our main says something like “i suppose he doesnt want to get married either”). hay fever has both romantic unconventionalities (the mother and the guy she invites who is funnily pursued by the daughter to prevent an affair i think?) and social ones (the daughter pointing out how rude their family is). i mention all these examples by name because theyre easy enough to mention. theyre moments, not stories. and they contribute to the screwball hijinks of the play. a mess is funny.

SO alls to say that design for living isnt like this at all. to start off, it isnt very funny. definitely not zany like these. the situation isnt side-splitting, it’s sad! the love is well-established which makes the break ups depressing. coward couldve written this play to be like how love triangle comedies are often written. leo walks out and otto arrives and gilda treats him like she treated leo and she has to hide him a la present laughter and oh the hilarity! but that hilarity is never entertained. the audience doesnt know about leo in act one when ernest is there so there’s no comedic tension. and when we do find out, they tell otto as soon as he’s back. it isnt funny when ernst (and the audience) figures it out. it’s dramatic. and that tone continues the whole show. even the ending isnt one last laugh. it’s a gasp moment. “havent you figured it out? ive given in.” it’s a full-on romance. i get the sense coward wrote a dramatic play under the veneer of a comedy because the situation is better received in the ambiguity of comedy. the non conformity being the whole premise of the show rather than a one-off is another irregularity that furthers that
