Hello

What’s the best episode of fraggle rock in your opinion?

Hi!!!!!!

So sorry, I have no idea how long this AAM has been sitting in my inbox!

Hmmmm… there are a ton of them that I rank in my personal favorites, and I could answer this according to that list, or from an objective angle based on overall writing and thematic traits.

Objectively, I’d say the best episode is “Change of Address”, as it’s the full circle moment that the series has been building up to- not to mention that I get CHILLS every time “Magic be With You” starts playing in that haunting choral arrangement. It’s impacted me so much, and maybe it sounds odd to anyone else, but it was the song I sung to my newborn niece to soothe her the first time I met her, and it worked. Overall if’s just a beautiful episode, and I’m always teary afterwards.

Other strong contenders based on objective reasons are “The Day the Music Died”, “Gone But Not Forgotten”, and possibly “River of Life” (?). I give RoL a hesitant nod because it’s so somber that I’ve only been able to watch it twice- and I’ve seen the entire series otherwise so many times I couldn’t even guess, maybe upwards of 30-40 full views? Probably more, honestly, since it’s been my favorite companion since I was a tiny kid.

In terms of my favorites though, I have a long list! It doesn’t have huge overbearing weight in the story, but “Capture the Moon” has always been one of my biggest comfort episodes, as have “Boober’s Dream”, “Red’s Blue Dragon”, and “Wembley’s Flight”. Oh, and “A Brush with Jealousy”!! Man, the song from that one… “show me the light in a butterfly’s eye/and show me the dreams of the earth and the sky”… ahh.. so pretty.. I just feel refreshed upon hearing it. :)

Capture the Moon is where the foundation for my two main Fraggle OCs comes from (and weirdly enough, I came up with them due to a very specific Fraggle dream I had as a little kid, so that’s probably why they’re so dear to me! Hah!)

I also (hot take, I know!) do have a couple episodes I don’t actually care for that much. Of course, I love them all, but I do definitely have some least favorites. (I have never really liked “The Great Radish Famine”. I can’t place why, but it’s 1000% near the bottom of my list, LOL!)

Anyway, you asked a short question, and I totally blathered on for way too long! I’m not sure if I gave a very satisfactory answer 😅 I do suppose I could be more specific and take a more analytical approach if you’d like!! There are several ways to answer this specific question, HAH! Please feel free to ask more!!!! :0

[vero-niche]

lol, yeah, part of it was simply the fact that no other place really caters to my specific needs, so I wouldn't be able to find a replacement for tumblr and it would eventually entice me again. The only other place I've spent some time on was dreamwidth. I guess I just wasn't made for normal social media XD

thats so valid + i think its safe to say that none of us here were made for the normal social media sites lmao

[advestager]

trick or treat!

do mythology daydreams count as halloween costumes? they do now

[chewwytwee]

Your icon is so pretty I admire it every time you’re on my dash

FUCK YES, oh my god that makes me so happy you dont even KNOW. I changed it recently cuz I kinda realized my old one was lowkey tacky LMAO

(OH ALSO, art by retroslime 18+)

[synonymroll648]

LUCAS!!! hiya my dude, whats going on? (still absolutely over the moon about your name. whispering it out loud in wonder as i type.)

stimmed a little bit about you being 'over the moon' over my name. ough. you're so sweet :')

i saw you in my notes and went HOLY SHIT TOBI'S ALIVE??? very very /pos btw. i have missed you and it is awesome to see you [uses southern accent i can't do irl] 'round these hellish parts.

anyway!! i worked on some sokeefitz-related doodles today, and i also finished the qpr keefex fic a few days ago!!! very happy w/ how it turned out in the long run, because there was a point where i abandoned it, but i'm glad i didn't leave it in the dust permanently. i've been dogsitting some vvv sweet dogs too. one is a super fluffy girl that acts more like a cat than a dog, and the other is a chonky boy that's probably some mix of pitbull and german shepherd who acts like a puppy even though he's twelve. they love me and i love them. i also may or may not have started a fic yesterday that i hope to finish on the 23rd but. we'll see if that happens or not

hru, beloved tobi mcshobi??

hi i love hearing abt people's fav chesses what's your favourite chess...

oh god this is from april....... i should use desktop tumblr desktop more often. but i am always happy to talk abt chess hehe and i would love to hear ur favorite chess as well

and i forget which exact post i mentioned this BUT the like. short answer is that the kennedy center production is the closest to My Chess tho i think there are still some issues with the ending and um. the success of the book is really dependent on the actors/direction (also if anyone sees my blog now it is like. obvious why that is my fave given that raúl is in it BUT ACTUALLY i got into raúl in the first place Because of kencen chess i got affirmation of queer freddie from a professional production and never went back)

the real answer is my fave chess is the one in my head that i hallucinated after blasting to the concept album for the first time while driving through heavy fog. umm personally i'm a political manipulation boy and have a history buff dad who introduced me to the show so the cold war context is always going to strike me the most. and while i find the love triangle deeply fascinating i have next to no interest in the story as a Romance. i think that they all simultaneously bring out the best and the worst in each other which is an Insane dynamic to have & they make me spiral. i know there are 'issues' with the original london book or whatever but i actually really like the simplicity and like. range of it.

what else to say..... chess in my head is actually quite edgy. but in a deliberate way not a grungy way. which is also probably why i like kencen but don't really think the aesthetic matches. and maybe it's the concept album loyalty/really only listening to those songs for like. a year but chess can have a dry ironic sort of humor (like the merchandisers or the embassy lament) and i think as a director you should provide some lightness and space for the audience to breathe but it's not really meant to be Comedy. it's why the yogurt scene and others like it have always felt super out of place to me i think the show has had enough issues with critics/its book and isn't helped by any sort of self-aware mockery it's only weakened by it.

also they should all get to swear some.

and freddie should get pushed around by florence (essential).

[poirot]

i’d recommend “we have always lived in this castle” by shirley jackson or “elena knows” by claudia piñeiro - based on your description i think you would like these books :)

thank you so much for the recommendations!! I actually read ‚we have always lived in the castle‘ already but I haven’t heard of ‚elena knows‘ before and it sounds like it’s right up my alley ahh definitely gonna read that one soon!!

[jewishdainix]

Stop being funnier than me in my reblogs (please don’t I’m enjoying it a lot)

where do you see seb and lewis' relationship going long-term in the daemon verse? what particularly inspired the choice of animals?

oooh this is a great question! I'm very fond of this verse, I'm hoping when work has eased off a bit I can get back to it, I want to spend a lot of time with it. Apologies now for the essay this became, there's a lot of rambling that you definitely didn't ask for.

In this verse I see them as nearly cosmically destined to be together. I think that's one of my favourite things about a lot of fic about them: the intimacy and genuine liking, the comfort in presence and the gentleness that's possible, even with the environment they're in.

I think events will roughly follow that of the real world, and I think because of that things proceed similarly - they skirt around each other for years, and Baku happens, and for some reason, against all expectations, this is the thing that finally breaches the last of the walls they had between them. But their job is literally to compete, to best each other, and as the season runs away from Seb, and Lewis basks in the victories he's earnt, after such a year as 2016, I can't help but think they'd both be too raw.

I think the fact that while Seb's been contending with his feelings and the strange cocktail of his run of glory at rb, with everyone saying he would be next to get the 7 after Michael - to beat him - to then years of bittersweet in the face of Lewis really doing it, he's had time to really think about it, consider his feelings and their implications. Lewis hasn't, Seb's been as much of a friend as he could be through all their shared series and seasons, but the depth of any feeling has been carefully hidden, and the natural separation that comes from being in the two teams pitted against each other, and having a really toxic breakdown in communication with someone who used to be your best friend, perfectly seals it. There's so much vulnerability that Baku brings about.

It takes some time though - it has to. From a quick check, 2018 is when I estimated they first truly admit their feelings to one another. I think Lewis has gone on a real voyage of discovery. I really want to write about that and do it justice.

All this is to say: long term is interesting. If you think about it, it's not just the two of them, it's the four of them. There are more personalities at play, even though Seb-Lucilla and Lewis-Tanja are two wholes. But I can't see them as being anything but together. And I think at that point, Monaco maybe starts to lose its appeal to Lewis, or maybe it begins before then. I envisage them bundled up during mountainous winters in Thurgau, pursuing their loves, and being enriched by each other's passions.

In terms of daemons, I know that Seb's came to me first, in fact I think it's what inspired me. And then I was trying to work out Lewis' and Charles'. I think in the end Lewis' was most difficult. I've seen a few takes of Lewis' being a bulldog, but for me personally, it didn't properly fit? I came upon foxes while thinking about drivers, the kind of mindsets they have, the personalities, opinions, and those of the people around them when they were young, and thus how this might have coloured their development too. I want to explore it more because I love the world building in this verse, it's really been fun!

While doing some early on I came to the realisation that there would be a preponderance for medium sized predators, especially land-based ones. This fit with the lynx idea already, and then after a few days of thinking the fox fell in. They both compete for the same prey, as it turns out, and can threaten each other in the wild. They're intelligent, especially the fox, which also forms strong family units. They have differences in adaptability though, as it turns out - hence why the red fox thrives, but the lynx has been very much threatened and nearly became extinct by 2000. I didn't actually know the latter two things while writing, and it's weird how they just kinda felt right beforehand?

There's also the catty nature Seb can have, and he's not meek either, definitely self-assured in a way that originates from within himself rather than external. Foxes have conflicting presentations throughout history and in different cultures, sometimes having negative connotations, other times spoken of as wise, faithful, and loyal. They run the full gamut of characterisation, which reminds me of a person embracing all aspects of themselves, including their past mistakes. If anyone does that, it's Lewis.

MICKEY THIS QUIZ FUCKING GOT ME TOO I FELL TO MY KNEES 😭😭😭 these quizmakers need to be stopped IMMEDIATELY why am i getting emotional over this …… why is this Everything……

the most important person and the pale blue dot

it's you. you're the most important because you are here and alive on this planet, that, in the scope of it all, isn't even the most of anything. the silliness of how vast our home is and how many of us there are only makes each of us that much more incredible. every time you kiss the cheek of a loved one you are telling the Earth that she is important in all the little ways, and thanking her for making others to hold. and likewise, when you hurt one of hers, she festers, and when she is hurt by yours she reciprocates--bellowing, and bleeding. she is important because you make her big and you are important because she made you small. and so...take care of each other.

no-pressure tags <3 : @kissxcore @seiwas @stellamancer @scarabrat @hayakawalove @daydreamermarimo @missukiyo @riaki tagging the whole legion bc i wanna see everyone’s results so bad aaa ….. this quiz was so pretty T_T

the uquiz is done and it makes no sense <3 reblog and tell me! what is your duality? 💫
