Stede Bonnet, bad in bed takes are still going around?? In August 2024??

That man has studied Ed and knows him down to his core. He has a praise kink and a need to make sure that Ed is and knows he's completely loved. He would listen to every hitch of breath Ed makes, every little aborted movement as Ed tried to hold back, and that man would know how to make Ed climax in record time.

A look at songwriter and composer Tork:

Q: "From what sources do you draw your songwriting inspirations?" Peter Tork: "Sometimes just a phrase or a word catches my fancy. Then I hear a musical line. I try to figure out what kinds of sounds are coming out. Basically I just go by the sound. Then I try to find words that sound like they belong there." - Blitz!, November/December 1987 Q: "How do you write a song. What starts you off." Peter Tork: "Pretty women start me off, and there’s no one way to write. Sometimes someone says something that sounds interesting, and you jot it down. Sometimes you find yourself humming something that you realize you haven’t exactly heard before. The hard part is 'asking' for the inspiration to get the other parts, other verses, bridges, if any, etc." - Beachwood Confidential Newsletter, 1995 "I’m really pleased that the stuff that I have written has been a little outside the mainstream. [...] [In 'For Pete's Sake,' one chord] is a 7-add-4, which is a highly unusual chord. It sort of fell out of my hands on the guitar. [...] I wrote a set of chords once [in college] and thought, 'Gosh, this is great.' I couldn’t think of anything to do with them. A couple years later I wrote 'Can You Dig It,' to those chords. They were… let’s see: D-minor to B-flat major 7th to an E diminished 9th chord. That’s a really interesting way to set it up to the V chord. Or to look at it another way: we’re in A — Arab scale, which is— I don’t want to get too heavy. But it’s an unusual scale in Western music, in pop music. And it worked fine for me. I was just really glad. It just fell out of my hands again. It really felt good." - Peter Tork, Shanley On Music, 2014 "I like to sit at home and play piano and write stuff. I have a blues band. This coming January, I’m going to be going down to Lexington, Kentucky. I’m going to have them play a piece I wrote for piano and orchestra. It’s fairly brief. It’s seven minutes long. They’ll be doing some pop music, it’s a pops orchestra. But I’ll have them tackle this thing I wrote." - Peter Tork, ibid "[As a songwriter, Peter] was always trying to do something which you hadn’t heard. Which is pretty rare, because many of the hit songs that you hear are derivative, they sound like some other hit song. Peter always wanted to write something that you hadn’t heard before. […] I mean, his writing was interesting, you know, and fun to play. Always surprising.“ - James Lee Stanley, The Monkees Pad Show

Today's Mando episode has me convinced that the writers must be allergic to the name "Satine Kryze"

"Omg Ezra was traumatized by the Lothal Jedi Temple how could Jedi do that to kids?!"

He wasn't traumatized he was temporarily frightened. And he got over it. In that episode.

Because a huge part of the whole being a Jedi thing is confronting your fears and not letting them master or control you.

Also:

Say you don't understand the nature of children's/family shows sometimes having to put their kid protagonist in perilous situations in order for them to have narrative agency without actually saying it.

“One of the best tracks [on Headquarters] is ‘For Pete’s Sake,’ written by Peter (for whom my admiration is constantly growing — he is the surprise Monkee).” - Jonathan King, Disc & Music Echo, April 22, 1967
