Propaganda

Basil Rathbone (the Sherlock Holmes movies, The Adventures of Robin Hood, The Court Jester)—ok most people will tell you he's the best Sherlock Holmes ever but I crushed hard on him when I saw him as the villain for The Court Jester. best swordsman in all of Hollywood at his time.

Vincent Price (Laura, Leave Her to Heaven, House on Haunted Hill, The Masque of the Red Death)—svelte, stylish, horrifying, beautiful, wickedly funny, camp and gorgeous and evil. he was an art connoisseur who advocated passionately indigenous art, he was an actual literal gourmet cook, he was so liberal he got greylisted during the mccarthy era for being too rad, he's my favorite muppets guest of all time

Shadows Entwined: part 6

BatmanVsTmnt!Leonardo x sidekick!reader

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 / Part 7 Part 8 Part 9 Part 10 Part 11 Part 12 Part 13 Bonus (18+)

-------------

A/N: And one week later, the Gotham adventure continues💙

-------------

You arrive at Arkham Asylum, finding the eerie building abandoned, with the expectations of a few mutants. One mutant especially, makes Leo realize a fear he did not know he had.

Warnings: Spelling, fear gas visions, imaginary death, angst, desperation.

The reader and the turtles are 19.

--------------

“I win!”, Robin said proudly as he landed at the gates of Arkham Asylum. “And you owe me a pizza”, he said, gesturing towards you, seeming oblivious for a short time, as the rest of you took in the appearance of Arkham Asylum and its menacing atmosphere. From the gates to the front entrance, was a path marked with dead trees, all casting contorted shadows on the ground. Its gothic walls were dark, with a glow of green and red, giving it a sickening appearance. Windows were smashed and not a single window carried any light, making it feel similar to a haunted house in the worst horror movies.

“I’ve never liked this place”, you mumbled, causing Leo to turn his head slightly towards you. The look on your face, it wasn’t fear. Batman had probably learned you to not show fear, yet there was something in your eyes. Your pretty eyes. A determination yet a hesitance. Leo noticed how your shoulders had tensed a bit, and how your demeanor had changed so much since your small race on the rooftops.

Leonardo offered his elbow out to you ever so slightly, causing you to look at him in slight confusion. “Just hold on if you ever need to”, he said, feeling his heartbeat to raise ever so slightly when he saw a small smile on your lips.

“No sign of the Foot or the League”, Batman’s deep voice sounded, causing both of you to jump back to reality, back in front of Arkham’s threatening gate. “Stay sharp”.

With all of your weapons ready, you followed Batman up the path and through the main doors. None of you saw anyone. Not a single soul. All you could see was the dark corners of Arkham, and the haunting silence.

BANG.

You jumped slightly, placing a hand on Leonardo’s arm. If it wasn’t for the threatening atmosphere of Arkham, Leo would probably have enjoyed the feeling. Maybe he would even have turned to smile at you, if not for the sound of something being dragged along the ground.

“Well, would you look at that”, a voice sounded in the darkness. A dog-like being dressed in a jester costume and carrying a big mallet, jumped onto the railing at the top of the staircase. “The bat has made some new best friends! So, are you gonna introduce me to your new turtle pals or what?”

“Harley. What have they done to you?”, Batman asked, ever so stoic.

“The ooze”, Donnie spoke up. “They must have injected themselves”.

“Aha”, Harley said with a finger in the air before jumping back from the railing. “There’ll be plenty of time to talk once you find Mister J and our guests. He got a whole thing planned! I don’t wanna ruin it. You know how he gets!” And with those words she turned and left, leaving you and the rest in shivering unease. All expect Batman and Leonardo.

The said turtle stepped forward, ready to follow the mutant, but Batman stopped him. “Wait”, he said, causing Leo to look at him. “Presumably Shredder and Ra’s have mutated all of the inmates of Arkham”.

“Was this their plan?”, Batgirl asked in confusion. “Mutate the villains and unleash them on the city?”

“I have a feeling this is just one part of the puzzle”, Batman said. “Split up. Investigate each wing. (H/N), you and Leonardo come with me. Remember, this whole asylum is essentially a maze. There are hostages to rescue, and on top of that, even before they were mutated, these inmates were the deadliest criminals in all of Gotham”. That was the last the dark knight said before he turned, his cape flowing behind him.

“I was kind of expecting a pep talk”, Donatello said, looking to you, Batgirl and Robin for some sort of confirmation.

“That was the pep talk”, Robin grumbled, slightly irritated over the fact that Batman had chosen you to go with him, and not him.

“Go team”, Batgirl said, two thumbs in the air.

You and Leonardo did just as Batman had told you to, and followed him down the hall. Well, not before you shot Batgirl a smug grin, as she and Donatello decided to go together. But that smug grin soon disappeared as the three of you walked through the halls of Arkham in complete silence. You felt a slight frustration at the way Batman would position himself either between you and the blue clad turtle, or just behind you, never leaving any of you out of sight. You knew very well it was because of Batman’s protective mannerisms towards his family. It was his wish to protect that made him look out for any danger that could harm you. But to Leo it felt different. He couldn’t shake this itching feeling that Batman did not want him to be alone with you in Arkham. Was it because he did not trust that Leo could protect you, or did he not wish his daughter to be alone with the mutant turtle she was starting to show affection? Well, he couldn’t blame the bat. He still hardly knew Leonardo.

The three of you continued down Arkham’s many stairs, until you came to the boiler room. Walking into the middle of the room, Batman suddenly stopped behind you and Leo, his attention turned to the side of the room as he listened.

“What is it?”, Leo asked, noticing the sudden shift in attention.

“Someone’s here”, was all the bat said, making it shiver down your spine.

“Can you please stop saying it like that?”, you asked, rubbing your arms to calm the shiver. “Nothing good happens when you say it like that”.

That was when something flashed above your head, moving swiftly in the shadows. Black feathers fell from above, landing before your feet. Leo watched the movement before flicking his katana slightly out from its saya, using his thumb. That was when whatever that had moved in the shadows landed before you.

“Hello, Batman”, said the being covered in feathers. “I was afraid you wouldn’t show up. Though not as afraid as you’re going to be”.

“Dr. Jonathan Crane”, Batman told Leo.

“Calls himself Scarecrow”, you added.

Leo couldn’t help himself. He turned his head towards you, one brow raised. “Really?”

Scarecrow let out a cry, before flying towards you, causing all three of you to jump out of the way, just before Scarecrow’s claws could skim the floor, just where you had been standing. You stumbled on the ground, having a hard time finding your footing.

“Watch out”, Batman called out from the other side of the room, as he started to cover his face with his cape. ”He has a fear gas that can make you see things that aren’t real”.

Leo looked up, seeing Scarecrow hover before flying directly at your turned back. Batman saw the same thing, calling out your name as he launched forward, all stoic features gone from his face, and now replaced with fear.

“(Y/N), watch out!”

You started in shock at Batman. He never used your real name whenever you were in costume. It was an unspoken rule. When in costume, you were (H/N), just like Bruce was Batman. Just like Damian was Robin, and just like Barbara was Batgirl. You could not think, shocked that he used your name while Leo and the Scarecrow was around. Leonardo however, not thinking further about the name he had just heard, ran and pushed you out of the way, just as the Scarecrow threw a gas that made him choke on his own breath.

Leo fell down on all four, coughing as he tried to breath. He opened his eyes, watching in horror as the boiler room changed around him. He stood and turned, taking in the warping world around him. Until he saw his brothers. The Scarecrow looming over them. Leo yelled, his heart in his throat, telling them to get out of there. Then the Scarecrow opened his wings, sending furth an army of crows, swarming his brothers. Leo watched in fear as the crows poked at his brothers, tearing them apart. Leo could not hear their screams, but he could see it in their eyes. They were hurting. His brothers were hurting. His best friends. His one and everything. The reason he lived and fought to be a leader. They were hurting.

It happened so fast yet it felt like an eternity. The crows formed into a black mass surrounding his brothers. They disappeared, leaving behind three dried bodies. Raph, Donnie and Mikey. His brother dead before his very eyes.

Leo’s breath was erratic. He fell to his knees before clutching Mikey’s dried hands in his. His fear and horror only grew as wind picked up, turning all three of them into dust. Leo yelled, screaming at the top of his lungs before falling back to the ground.

“That’s right”, Scarecrow's voice sounded in his ear. “Everyone is gone, and it’s all your fault”.

“Leo?”

Leonardo’s heart almost stopped at the sound. So weak, fragile, scared.

“Or, almost everyone”, Scarecrow sounded yet again.

Shaking in fear, Leo turned to see you on the ground, shaking in fear. Your legs had given out, your arms working to get you moving as far away as possible.

“(H/N)?” Leo stood, walking towards you, only for you to scream and scrabble further away.

“Stay away!”, you yelled, tears pooling in your eyes, your voice cracking. Leo was confused, his heart breaking a bit as you right tried to get away from him.

“(H/N)?! What’s wrong?!” Leo was growing more and more desperate with each passing second. First his brothers and now you.

“Don’t look at me!”, you started screaming, covering your face trying to hide from him. “Don’t look at me!”

“Tell me what’s wrong, (Y/N)!” Leo was surprised to hear himself use the name Batman has just used.

“You’re eyes!” You were crying. Leo felt a pain in his chest at your words. You were scared of his eyes. You were scared of him. “Please don’t look at me! I beg you! Don’t look at me!”

Desperately he tried to reach for your hand, but you screamed, pushing back trying to get away from him. Leo wanted to cry, he wanted to yell and scream at you. To tell you were hurting him. You were crying and Leo didn’t know what to do. He was paralyzed, frantically trying to get you to look at him. So frantically, that he did not notice the Scarecrow came and pulled you away.

“No!”, Leo yelled, standing to run towards you, only to be surrounded by Scarecrows, taunting him. His brothers were dead because of him. You feared him. It was all his fault. It was all because of him.

“Leonardo”. Leo turned to see a lone Scarecrow with you hiding behind it. Leo’s blood boiled. “Listen to my voice”.

Batman ducked as Leonardo came after him with his katana in hands, fear and anger in his eyes. It was different from the eyes that had looked at you a moment ago. Fear and sadness. They were nothing like the blue eyes that you had found yourself spending so many thoughts on.

“You killed them! You took her!”, Leo yelled, slashing out his katanas at what he saw as the Scarecrow. But Batman continuously dodged the sharp blades, hearing all of your gasps as you watched on helplessly.

“I don’t know what you’re seeing”, Batman said. “But it’s not real”.

“You’ll pay for what you did!”, Leo yelled, slamming his blades against the pipes they passed.

“Your anger won’t help your brothers”, Batman said. “And it won’t save (Y/N)”. Batman jumped and rolled, before kicking Leo in the back, bringing him to the ground. You gasped, ready to jump in, but Batman signed at you to stay out of it. “You have to focus! Fight it!”

Leo sat on the ground, in a trance-like state. His normally beautiful eyes wide, as he held his katana extended out in front of him. Then suddenly he turned, swinging his katana through the air and hitting Scarecrow. The flying mutant fell groaning to the ground, as Leo braced himself against his katana, fighting to regain his breath.

Batman walked up to Leo, pulling a small pink liquid and needle from his utility belt. “The antidote to Crane’s gas”, he said as he injected Leonardo through the shoulder. “It should wear off quickly”. And so it did.

In the blink of an eye, the boiler room turned back to normal. The irrational fear left Leo’s mind, and he could finally breathe normally again. He saw as you came to his side, all though hesitant in your steps. It poked in Leo’s chest yet again. He had indeed scared you, just like the fear gas had made him believe. But now you looked him in the eyes, as if you never had been scared of them. Leo wondered if you ever actually had been scared of them. And with that thought he remembered his reaction. How he had reacted to the fear of you not wanting to see his eyes. He felt embarrassed, ashamed. He had had no control over his actions, with no regards for how it may have affected you. Yes, he had been affected by Crane’s gas, but to Leo, that was no excuse. He had to do better than that.

As if you had been able to read his mind, you placed a comforting hand on his shoulder, your eyes never leaving his beautiful blue ones. The ones that you were just happy to see again. Leo placed a hand over yours, enjoying the feeling for a moment.

Batman watched the two of you for a second, before speaking up, once again ripping you out of whatever thought you had been having. Your hand falling off of Leo’s shoulder, causing him to feel what could only be described as disappointment.

“Let’s move”, Batman said, directing the two of you back towards the door and out of the boiler room.

"Faerie Tale Theatre" Role Association: Seasons 1 through 3

To honor Shelley Duvall in a silly yet fun way, I decided to finally do what I've been meaning to for some time: play a complete game of Role Association for the characters of Faerie Tale Theatre.

All Hallow's Eve LARP by L'Chaim Games - Meiserich (my ghost OC, yes he was shot in the face)

aka "Ghost Ball! Ghost Ball!", London, 02.12.23

Photos by Astora Photography on FB

My jester took so long to make because I took inspiration from Diana Wynne Jones' 'Howl's Moving Castle' where Sophie cuts up Howl's suit into triangles and then sews it back together, so Meiserich's outer layer is all triangles.

I wanted to make Meiserich out of scraps from previous projects, so virtually all of the cost of the outfit is the time that went into it. I worked on him for six months in virtually any free minute I could find the energy for. But it was worth it.

It's not 100% historically accurate, but this outfit was designed to double as a cosplay for the Fool from Robin Hobb's 'Assassin's Apprentice' and the rest of the Farseer Trilogy. (I still have to read the other books! No spoilers please though I have seen some sneak peeks thanks to fanart <3)

More about Meiserich as a character under the cut!

Meiserich (anglicised pronunciation: My-Zer-Rick) is a colloquial German name for galium odoratum, sweet woodruff. It's a flavour you can get commonly in German desserts and schnapps (Waldmeister), but I've never come across the flavour in the UK.

Meiserich is a jester from the early 1400's and lived in a part of the Holy Roman Empire that is now Germany, namely within the Roman Catholic Diocese of Münster. At the court of Droste zur Aa Meiserich had a close relationship with Lady Klara of the keep. In 1412 this court took part in a knights' jousting tournament in Buda where the future Holy Roman Emperor Sigismund was also in attendance. Whilst there, through social occasions, Lady Klara found out and obtained evidence that Sigismund was the one who poisoned the previous King of Germany, Jobst of Moravia. She confided in Meiserich what had happened.

It comes to light that Lady Klara knows too much, so Sigismund sends soldiers to Münster to besiege the keep. Meiserich encourages his Lady to run and hide with the evidence of the poisoning. As a jester it was also Meiserich's job to act as a messenger and diplomat at times. However, the siege negotiations failed, he was shot dead with an early arquebus design and the castle was fired upon with trebuchets. Lady Klara initially survived in the rubble in an airpocket but ultimately suffocated.

Meiserich usually haunts the ruins of the castle keep he used to live in. It is now a tourist destination and he likes to tease the tourists. He also eavesdrops and through them and the keep staff learns of other things going on in the world. He has not forgotten about Lady Klara and wants to reveal the truth she uncovered to the world.

Please note: The poisoning plot is fictional, Sigismund doing this is something I made up based on some Wikipedia reading I did.

His wish to have fulfilled at the LARP was to have the keep in Münster renovated and restored, revealing the buried corpse of Lady Klara. In her hand are a vial of poison and a letter proving Sigismund was the one who poisoned the previous king of Germany, Jobst of Moravia. It will be a joy for the historians and great to hear the tour guides at the keep bring this up in perpetuity.

And he got his wish fulfilled at the game! I'm so happy. Monsieur Roc Flamboyant (a French noble, 1600's) was touched enough by Meiserich's story and devotion to Lady Klara that he made the wish for Meiserich. I could not have asked for a better end to this game.

Shout out to the podcasts that helped me put together Meiserich as a character:

Gone Medieval by History Hit

We're Not So Different - esp. episode "Medieval Fail Sons: Wenceslas IV & Sigismund"

Weird Medieval Guys - esp. episode "Sieging for Dummies"

The Court Jester by Kleio Pethainou

I'm glad I picked the early 1400's for Meiserich's death, this is still before the Western printing press, Columbus sailing off to the detriment of many, the fall of Constantinople, and the big witch hunting craze, so he died in a bygone world on the cusp of the Early Modern Period.

If I could give him one power like in BBC Ghosts, I'd say that the two bells on his hat are audible to the living.

TW: depression, suicidal thoughts

38. CLASS CLOWN

It’s the funny ones

You gotta watch out for.

Making people laugh

Is how we bury our own sadness.

It’s a good mask,

Until suddenly, it isn’t.

Until suddenly,

I can’t remember

The last time I laughed

Or smiled

Or felt anything

Other than dread.

I’m the class clown

But I’m also the girl

That cries herself to sleep.

Who wakes up wishing

More than anything

She wouldn’t wake up at all.

I’m drowning

In a lake of my own darkness.

And I’m ashamed.

So I joke

And pantomime

And purposefully

Make a fool of myself.

Because no one suspects

The funny ones.

No one looks past

The clown mask

To see the last gasps

Of a dying soul.

How can I be depressed

When I’m the court jester?

How can I be a walking corpse

When I’m the comic relief?

Keep them laughing

So they don’t take

Another look.

So they don’t see black clouds

Where my life should be.

They’re joking with a ghost,

They just don’t know it.

I don’t want them to see

The shadows that haunt me

And the void that stalks my every move.

I’m the class clown

But I’m also the lost cause.

They just don’t know it.

This one I wrote specifically with robin williams in mind, and the way I too hide behind my humor.

[ask-reluctant-nightshade]

( pokeeaster @legendaryfamilydynamics ) N@The Group: "Hello," he waves, a kind smile on his face. "Could I ask about your group here? You seem pretty interesting."

Diaval straightened back up, his back cracking a bit. He forgot how weird it was to have bones again. “I hope you don’t mind the kids messing with your hat. Robin’s never seen another human before and Wick’s never seen a human in general! Though I assume if Robin was in that form, you’d have given him a mean look-“

Marionette kindly whacked him on the head before he was more of an ass of himself and caused a scene. Sola, on the other hand, slowly reached out and pat N on the head. “It’s nice that you did actually talk to us, new friend! Also, hello! I hope the strange talking cat wasn’t mean to you.”

“I’M A ZANGOOSE- You know what, nevermind.”

Wick just ignored them all and continued leaning on N’s leg as she played with the hat, Robin only staring at the strange green haired person.

@legendaryfamilydynamics

[atxin1]

@ask-reluctant-nightshade | Wick takes notice of the strange walking tree lizard and follows behind him for a good twenty minutes. It takes Robin realizing what Wick is doing to call out to the sceptile. “Uh- Sir- I think my friend is trying to eat your tail-“

"Hm?" Atzin turns around to find who was calling out to him. In the process, he find Wick. He kneels down to face the strange pokemon who was following him.

"What are you doing? My tail isn't any normal tree that you can just eat."

i found this blog by accident (i think the tumblr recommendations code or whatever figured out i have a polls addiction) and have had zero interest and experience in this topic but now. now i am so here. but i was wondering where i could go to watch movies with all these actors?? like i’m sure prime video or smthg might have a few classics hanging around but is there a service/website (of any legality) that specialises in vintage films and stuff? or is it really just physical media to get a lot of them? sry if this throws off your askbox, i didn’t know where else to ask! tyia <3

Hi!! I love this ask. Thanks for being here!

I don't know of any service that specializes in old movies, though HBO had a deal with TCM for a while that meant they had several classics on Max—I don't know if that's still a thing.

And of course there are methods of other legality if you want to go searching for titles by hand :)

I haven't seen all of the movies I list here—this is just a sampling of some famous ones, and a few of my secret faves—so be careful if you have trigger warnings and things. Hope you find some great movies!

[onenightbreak]

characters and skins from today’s tales from the smp stream! under the cut because Long:

tubbo: robin, orphan child. was the doctor in the first round, jester in the second. lore is that his mother died when he was young then his father went to fight in the red eyed village wars, so robin learnt first aid to help. (my sweet boy please-)

george: miles memeington. didn’t have lore i think? [edit: apparently was a steak connoisseur? what,] died in the first round immediately, possibly a villager in the second round?

bbh: jimmy the (self declared) mayor. murderer in the first round, got caught immediately, uncertain the second round. two skins because his first character went to the chopping block for murder, was still the mayor both times.

quackity: helga. fuckin iconic is what she is. the wife of jimmy supposedly, but this is disputed by him. goes around the village giving “dunderhead” to all the village men, to the distaste of most. villager both times i think?

ponk: jack the potato farmer. villager first round, murderer second round. just farms potatoes man, he doesn’t know how to murder !

corpse: unnamed catboy. was the investigator first round, probably a villager the second. blind, father figure to robin. [edit: @/the-scuttled-jamboree added that he referred to cornelius as his partner the night he died, and lived together both rounds] excuted at the start of the second round, sending robin into mute grief. (MY FUCKIN BOY-)

lazar: a builder named bob. bob the builder, if you will. jester the first round, murderer the second. don’t think he had lore. [edit: @/the-scuttled-jamboree added that he ‘spent a night’ with helga both rounds and was haunted by her voice after her death. helga also called bob ‘shrimpy’ a lot, so they weren’t on the best terms?]

dream: cornelius. murderer the first round, died first the second. was excuted at the end of the first round, then was killed by the murderers. also didn’t change his skin, apparently it’s just a green body suit.

extra lore!

-this story takes place 100s of years in the past, according to karl’s exposition -the world of the smp has always been shit for orphans :pensive: -also furries have always existed in the smp, as shown by catboy corpse -“the red eyed village wars” are a thing that exist apparently. this is Not elaborated on at all but lore pog?

[0xeyedaisy]

Another very long and very boring post!

And Another sort of liveblogging post,,, where I live blog,,, in one post,, yeah! This time we're watching The Village That Went Mad! I'm only watching it cuz of Quackity's character /hj

Starting off strong w/ BBH's character saying "Hey lassie", love it love it

Karl abt BBH: He's roleplaying, he's doing it!!

"All of you guys put on skins"- Karl says and at the same time you can see Dream walk by in his usual skin

HELGA!! MY BELOVED!!

There are catboys in this village

Robin: I am an orphan child Karl: Don't let Technoblade see you... Robin: Yeaaah, I thought about that... (Okay, but the wiki says that this episode is set hundreds of years before the current events of DSMP and Robin seems to know of Techno, which makes Techno quite fucking old)

Helga: He (Jimmy) gave me dunderhead muffin head 3000

Okay, in this episode Karl is not participating in the rp, he's like a narrator, which is interesting! But Karl also says "Suddenly, they all realized and looked and saw, Karl Jacobs started his stream and is now staring at all of them", so it seems he's still included in the story, OH and Miles says "The eye in the sky!" which is?? SO fucking cool! Like they all see Karl and his viewers as an eye in the sky!! Hello??? I'm going insane

Karl: They feel something in them changing, each of them now acquiring a new sort of role! ... They are now realizing they are being used! Could it be in the name of satan? Or it could be in the name of content and Karl's stream, they don't know Robin: No difference!

Miles: Helga I'm with your man Bob: Sharing is caring

Bob and Helga have something going on

Karl:... and Quackity (Helga) is also gonna stand there Helga: Yeah, I will, I will, I'm a bad bitch

Robin's mom was taken from him and his dad was shipped off during the Red-Eyed village wars, so Robin decided to do medical training to save his dad, but he was shot and never found again

Catboy and Robin....brothers.......... or father and son.................family........FOUND family..............

Robin, standing in the execution cell: It's nice, I feel closer to my parents!... (HELLO?? I know he won't die but damn...)

Karl visiting Robin during the night and Robin shamefully looking away cuz he decided to save himself...... It's okay kid you're just trying to survive!!

Catboy abt Robin: What a legend, so proud of him! Robin: Thanks... (SOBS AND CRIES)

Helga, the girlboss, gonna suck off satan

Robin loves rain!!

Bob is being haunted by Helga

Cornelius: It's not me, Ponk was suspicious last round, he knew he was going to get checked Jack: Who's Ponk? I'm Jack, fail rp stupid!

Love whenever they ran an ad and advertise twitch prime and then someone will point out how they're advertising to ppl who already have twitch prime

And the villagers won!! Tbh it's a shame that this round is non-canon, it got a happy ending (Tho it is unfortunate that Helga died)

Now time for the actual canon round!

LMAO HELGA WAS NUMBER 2 TRENDING That's what she deserves!!!

Helga saw something messed up at Miles' house! He used for bait something that shouldn't be used as bait! (Bait as in fishing bait)

Catboy is blind

Robin says Catboy is like a father to him!!

They executed Catboy...And now Robin is spending the night at the execution cell............

Helga: Everyone goes to hell along with me, motherfuckers

Helga doesn't seem to like Robin much cuz she hates kids or something, but she still warns Robin that he'll die if he doesn't speak, I dunno, I just really liked this moment, esp since Big Q put on his serious voice

Helga was killed while watching the stars,,,,,

And so everyone died and Jack and Bob won!! And also Robin cuz he was a jester

Okay, we're done but I wanna look at the wiki rn

The wiki says that Ponk was a descendant of Jack, Ponk also knew from Jack (either through a diary or a word of mouth) that Helga was very respected, rich and had many connections (hell yeah!!!) Ponk even built a grave for her!!

"According to Ponk, Jack and 'Shrimpdick'(Bob) were the only survivors of the village" "The lines including the death of Cornelius and Miles may indicate that unlike what the viewers saw in the episode, the death of the villagers was not just the work of the killers, but the entire village coming together to kill who they thought were 'witches'" "Jack wrote of a strange man made of straw with eyes made of emerald (a description which matches Foolish Gamers' appearance and color scheme)" " It said that the strange man was fascinated by lemons and brought him a caravan of good and 21 'statues' in boats which were possibly the villagers. Two weeks after this encounter, Jack's writings seemed to become more and more incoherent. He wrote about cats in the walls and said that the cats murdered people. He also disliked Shrimpy's interest in his 'statues'. Then, one day, he wrote that he had a sudden urge to murder. He said that Helga was tempting but her husband needed to die, highlighting the tense relationship between Jack, Helga and Jimmy. Jack stopped writing in the journal for the next 135 days, during which most of 'The Village That Went Mad' likely took place. His last journal entry was after 'The Village That Went Mad', babbling about how only him, Shrimpy and the statues were left and that life was good." This all is just really interesting, the whole cats in the walls thing sound terrifying, and of course Foolsih being connected to this story is also cool!

And that's it, loved Helga she's the only character ever <33

Here’s also The Masquerade liveblog, I decided to put them in one post cuz they are pretty short

"Oh, I stream minecraft, don't worry I'm not poor" Hahaha yeah...

Ranbutler my beloved  

Oh, a chandelier! Whenever I see those I think about Foolish losing his mind over one that he was making for the beeduo mansion

Karl, about the chandelier: Some of it is just floating... Billiam: Oh, it does that... if you have money~

"No, this is where we have the balls"

Ah yes, Oliver Arechtenshire Smichalist Cumbucket (Cumbucket is silent) my beloved

Oliver is from London

Oliver has Benjamin Button disease, he's 63, but you can call him 7 months (???)

Oliver likes to swim and party and smoke

Also, I went to the dsmp wiki to look at this episode's characters and I found out that Oliver w/o the mask resembles Wilbur! He also has two-pixel eyes!!

Billiam: My old friend, how's the business? James: It's... Billiam: How's the wife? James: Divorced Billiam: How's the family? James: Gone Billiam: It's hard to talk to you

James has been going through some shit poor man

Billiam: He streams minecraft Lyaria: Oh no... Billiam: He's very rich Lyaria: Oh! Good!

DREW P. WIENER MY BELOVED

Drew's from Texas

Drew has a stuck of guns in his closet

Drew hates London

The rich don't know what Youtube is

Ppl keep avoiding Drew in the Duck Duck Goose game

They killed Drew first fucking hell

"I can see them through the wall...MENACINGLY"

Ranbutler has a lot of milk... Like a LOT

Stuff from wiki

“Next to arrive was Lord Sebastian, a close acquaintance to Sir Billiam” (So, Seb and Bill are besties)

“James is not an easy person to talk to as he only spoke in short sentences” (He's an awkward guy)

“Lyaria, a close friend of Billiam” (Lyaria is also besties w/ Bill)

(Lyaria and Sebastian and Billiam are all besties, well, were besties)

“they found Drew's head, the rest of his body nowhere to be found” (he got decapitated)

“They asked Oliver how he ended up in the tank, but received no direct answer” (Inch resting)

“Oliver opted to play a jolly piano tune” (He can play the piano!!)

"In the next installment of the Tales from the SMP, The Wild West, it was revealed that Sir Billiam had received some amount of his wealth by stealing from the town's bank, and was wanted by the town sheriff." "In a Twitch email, Ranboo revealed that money seems to not be the only thing Sir Billiam stole. He pointed out that his Wild West character John John said that a brown haired orphan also went missing around that time. This is implied to be the butler" (Bill just steals kids)

Ok, now that’s it! I dunno why I post these, but it is my blog and I do whatever I want

Kim Seokjin - computer security @jooniesdimples70307

It wasn’t a good job. But you made sure to never steal from the innocent and the poor, you were very much a robin hood of sorts. You took a deep breath and dialed the next number. 

“Hello this is Kim Seokjin, how may I help you?” His voice was smooth

“Hello, Mister Kim Seokjin. I am calling from the post, it seems we have your package waiting in our holding center. I can get it sent through to you, I just need a few things just to confirm you are who you say you are. Could you tell me your full name and date of birth sir?”

With that information, you found his social media accounts and he was decently well off by the looks, but what caught your attention was how beautiful he looked. “Alrighty, I see you haven’t really spoken with us over the phone before as your details are quite bare, would you like to make a pin and perhaps some security questions to make it easier for you to identify yourself in the future?”

You were flicking through his photos on his Instagram rapidly and forgot you were on the phone. “I am sorry, sir I was distracted, would you like to go on a date, sometime?”

Min Yoongi - Apples

You grinned it was the perfect date, sweet and quiet, no large crowds, and very romantic. Yoongi had taken you to a farm, the two of you were wearing jeans, hats, and copious amounts of sunscreen. The two of you were given baskets and you set off in the rows of trees picking apples.

It was gorgeous and when you filled your baskets and carried them to the estate, the grinned leading you to the huge back porch where a sitting area of cushions and soft rugs and fabrics lay. “Take a seat and we will be with you in a moment.”

You smiled watching the sunset over the hills the animals on the green grassy planes made you smile, there were tiny white flowers scattered around the pastures. Just as you were admiring the view the waiter returned with a sweet apple cider and you were given courses of delicious tender meats and fresh vegetables. Dessert of apple pie made you grin happily.

Jung Hoseok - scary

Hoseok worked in a haunted house with you when he was in college, he hated every second of it. Mostly because it was more scary for him than any of the customers that stepped through the doors. He didn’t know why but when he saw the very same haunted house at the carnival he was currently exploring, he thought he would step through for old time sake. 

He was part way through when a zombie growled lunging for him he shrieked and the mask lifted “Hoseok, is that you?” You asked “It’s you right? Only one person screams like that”

Kim Namjoon - plant

Volunteering made Namjoon happy, he felt accomplished for doing something and in this case, it was planting trees. He loved trees, he took turns digging holes and placing the saplings and even watering. Whispering praises to each of them, “You are going to do great,”

A few volunteers gave him weird looks and walked away making Namjoon pout ducking his head low and working silently. That was until he heard you in the next row also planting saplings. “It might be tough and you might feel a little different but you’re perfect each tree grows differently and being unique is good.”

He didn’t realize he had been watching you until your eyes met, you said the next words while looking straight at him “Just like us humans, being different isn’t bad,”

Park Jimin - Ninja

Stealth, strength, speed, agility and knowledge. All the things one needed in order to become a ninja. Jimin was sent to kill someone but ended up stuck with you who was in danger. You were the opposite of everything Jimin trained to be, you were loud and chaotic, slow and liked to talk about celebrity couples within tabloid magazines.

Keeping someone alive was much harder. 

Kim Taehyung - Shoes

You just wanted to duck to the mailbox to check for a package, you slipped your feet into the nearest shoes at the door. Taehyung’s Gucci shoes. They were like clown shoes, he had bigger feet than you and you were trying to get to the mailbox. When you saw the package hadn’t been delivered you headed back to the house slipping the shoes off in the doorway.

“Were those my Gucci shoes?”

“Uh… yeah I was just checking the mail” You shrugged making breakfast, it was midway through breakfast when your phone told you your package had just been delivered and you slipped on the luxury brand shoes and raced out the door. “My package!”

“Put your own shoes on!”

Jeon Jungkook - microwave

Jungkook asked you to move in and you were happy, you had unpacked all your things while he was at work he said put it wherever you wanted. When Jungkook came home from work he came into the kitchen and kissed you sweetly. Eyes drawn to the cube of machinery in the corner. “What’s that?”

“the microwave?”

“I don’t like it?” he muttered and you suppressed a laugh understanding some people had different things they didn’t like and you respected this one. Even if it sounded silly.

You did however have a laugh after consoling him after the popcorn incident. 

[manatehispants]

Entertain Me!

“Okay. You can stop now. Like right now.”

Harley kept her arms wrapped tightly around Floyd who despite his words was doing very little to actually make her stop. The wild card blonde acted like she didn’t hear a word the assassin said. She continued to rub her pale skinned face against his cheek like an affectionate cat who had just got done hitting the cat nip. Lawton rolled his eyes. He gave it two more minutes before he attempted another protest.

“I ain’t playing around, Harley. Let go or I’mma shot you right in the face. Last warning about this.”

This time he did try to push her away from him although there was no real force to it. He’d never say it out loud, but he liked the crazy jester. Somewhere along the line she had become meaningful to him. Harley knew it too. She knew Deadshot wasn’t going to ever say he liked her let alone cared for her, but his actions showed it in his own way. And this time it wasn’t all in her head either like it had been with Joker. Nope! This was real. Harley faked a pout, but finally she disentangle herself from the man. She leaned back on the hotel couch laying her head onto Deadshot’s shot and swinging her legs over the other side. Her platinum blonde pigtails dangled just off of Lawton’s lap. He let out a small grunt and wondered why she always did that with such force. He also wondered for the zillionth time why she stuck around him. Was she really so fucked up from her time with Joker that she thought Lawton was as good as it got? He glanced down at Harley, a cigarette dangling from his lips. His heart quickened when his eyes locked onto her’s. They were full of something he knew he didn’t deserve, love and adoration. Laughing Harley winked at him almost as if she knew what he was thinking. Maybe she did. Maybe she knew far more than Lawton credited her for.

“We should go see that Taylor Swift concert the one that is in town tomorrow! I have the perfect outfit! Oh! We could get matching outfits! It will be so fun! I’ll post all the pictures up on Instagram! Eat your heart out Bats and Robin, there’s a new dynamic duo in town!”

Where the Hell had this damn idea come from!? Lawton pinched the bridge of his nose and closed his eyes. Nope! He didn’t even want to get into that aspect of it with her. It would only give him a headache.

“We ain’t doing that. I told you already I am in town for work. That’s it. And never ever compare us to Batman and his kid sidekick again. Better don’t pretend there is an us cause there ain’t.”

“But I am bored. Come on. Entertain me! Pretty, pretty, please? With a big fat cherry on top? Oh! And sprinkles. We can’t forget those. Great! Now I want ice cream.”

Pouting again Harley sat back up and leaned herself onto the assassin’s muscular body. She ran one hand down his chest her hand stopping to rest on his stomach. Floyd’s body reacted by tensing. It usually wasn’t good when someone touched him in such a vulnerable spot. As much as he wanted to trust Harley.....She was still crazy and crazy people do well, crazy things. He forced himself to relax by inhaling deeply onto his cigarette. He leaned his head back and stared at the ceiling as he let out a perfect ring of grey-blue smoke. He watched as it slowly rose up. One more was blown out before he bothered to answered her.

“Nobody asked you asked you to stalk me out and break into the hotel room. Which you still haven’t explained why you did.”

He should be pissed with her for that, but he wasn’t. He was actually sort of glad she was her or at least he was when she was making off the wall comments and crushing his balls with her head. Really who the Hell “rested” their head down with that much force? Harley’s darkly painted lips vibrated together as she waved off Lawton’s words.

“Stalking and breaking in are such strong words ta’ be throwin’ around! What I did is more like enthusiastic followin’ against ya wishes with a surprise stop by!”

Floyd gave Joker’s ex girlfriend a blank stare. Harley rolled her eyes and dramatically collapsed herself onto his shoulder. Locks of her shocking blond hair pouring onto him. Like he had done so many times today he again rolled his eyes at her giving off the impression of being put out by this. But both knew the truth, he loved it. He liked having someone in his life who was crazy enough to not only accept all parts of who he was, but to embrace them. Unlike others, Harley understood what the dangers of his work entailed. Sure she liked playing house, but she wasn’t going to force Deadshot to be someone he was not. Just as he would never change her into someone she wasn’t. He didn’t write her off as by product of Joker or see her as a tragic warning story about loving the wrong man. When he looked at Harley that’s what he was looking at.....Harley. There was so few in her life who did this. Sure, there was Ivy and Harley loved the woman to death. But with Ivy it wasn’t that simple. Ivy meant well, but she always wanted to fix Harley. She wanted to take Joker and all parts of him away from her. She didn’t understand that no matter the Clown Prince of Crime would forever be a part of Harley. To be with Ivy meant she would have to give up part of herself, and selfishly Harley wasn’t willing to do that. Maybe there would come a day when she could, but right now she couldn’t. She couldn’t be whatever it was others wanted her to be. She needed a chance to be her own person. Free of Joker, free of being named a sidekick. Ivy always said and did treat her as an equal. This was true, but with Ivy everyone still viewed Harley as a sidekick. They saw Ivy as her Joker replacement. The Harlequin of Love buried her face against Floyd’s shoulder. It was so very child like that for a moment Lawton thought of his daughter.

Outside Harley that was the only person who truly cared for him and who he too cared for. She was why he continued down this path. She was why he would never retire from this work. It was her face that haunted his mind any time he considered turning his gun his next target and onto himself. Lawton finished the last drag of his cancer causing stick and tossed the bud to the floor. Suddenly his heart ached for the one he could never be near and for the life he discovered he would never be able to have. Carefully as if she was made from glass Floyd touched the back Harley’s head. Smiling against his shoulder the wild card nuzzled his shoulder and then looked up at him. God damn her and the things she made him feel. He didn’t want to feel anything! Right now he only wanted the world to be shut out. Maybe he could get to help with that. He cupped Quinn’s face in the palm of one hand, and like clockwork she did as was expected. She understood what was happening. Floy was connecting with her the only way he knew how to be affectionate with another person through sex. She leaned her face into his hand nuzzling against. Her perfectly painted lips laid a soft kiss against his palm. Moving his hand so that part of his palm was now under the infamous bombshell’s chin, Lawton tilted her head up to him and leaned forward kissing her upon the lips. His free arm went around her slender frame pulling her near him. Instantly Harley had both her arms wrapped around him. She needed this as badly as he did. Her body melted against his and her lips felt perfectly at him on his. The taste of cheap beer and cigarettes danced onto her taste buds as she deepened their kiss, pushing him for more.

Almost roughly he tugged her closer now to him. His tongue dipping into her welcoming mouth. Exploring every inch of it as if it was there first time together. Her mouth was sweet. She tasted of cotton cotton candy and cherries.....A mask of innocence. It was as intoxicating as the liquor he had been drinking away all night. Her love is a crazy deadly one and in the end Lawton knows she’s going to fuck him over somehow. She always did, but she also always came back to him. Joker will come calling or someone more attractive will show themselves to her, but for moment in time she belongs to him. It’s thrilling and he’s always been a sucker for a head rush. The jester’s tongue dances into his mouth and soon their tongues entangled with another fighting for dominance. The soft moan that escaped her was quickly making Floyd realize his pants were far too tightly. He pulls his mouth away off her’s. Quinn is staring at him her sapphire eyes clouded with lust. Harley runs her black painted nails down his back and Lawton feels his desire for her.....For what comes next growing. A shiver of pain mixed with pleasure goes down his entire spine.

“Ya gunna be my Prince Charming, sweep me off my feet and take me ta’ bed now or not?”

He shouldn’t do it. Harley shouldn’t be encouraged. He’s going to get burned by her. It’s only a matter time. But fuck it, you’re only going to live once, right? Or that’s what he keeps hearing. He might as well get his rocks off while he still can. He swoops the ex gymnast expert up off the couch and into his arms. Instantly her arms around looped around his neck. Her lips are crashing into his in what will surely be a bruising kiss for the both of them. Not that either care. The small sting of it only adds to the pleasure they are both becoming overwhelmed with as Lawton carries Gotham’s infamous wild card to bed. Tomorrow he has a job that needs to be done. Tomorrow he will be back to being the professional he prides himself on when it comes to work. Tomorrow Harley will be off on yet another on of her crazy adventures proving herself to the word, but mostly proving to herself she can be a solo act. But that’s all stuff of the future. For now the two are more than a little content for what the presence holds for them between the sheets. They will make the most of the night and for awhile neither will worry about that aching loneliness that eats away at them.

Historical References in What Are You Going to Do With Your Life? Chapter 13-15

Chapter 13

“Hey, that’s a gun! You can’t have that, it’s illegal!” Not quite right. Members of the UK public can own certain sporting rifles and shotguns, but handguns (like the one used by the robber) were effectively banned after 1996.

Before the 18th century, a crowbar was usually referred to simply as a ‘crow’ or ‘iron crow’ as far back as 1400 – the latter phrase is used by Shakespeare, in, again, Romeo and Juliet.

“Their pronunciation is atrocious – worse than Arthur’s.” Catherine of Aragon was definitely fluent in Latin, as was Prince Arthur, Henry’s ill-fated older brother. The two communicated via letters in Latin before Catherine came over to England, only to discover they learned different pronunciations when they tried to talk to each other. They could read what the other wrote, but couldn’t understand what they were saying.

Catherine Parr took after her godmother in her interest in languages, but she wasn’t afforded the same level of education as a Spanish princess was. She spoke French fluently, which we know because she spoke to ambassadors in French, and that she attempted to learn Spanish during her queenship. A letter from her stepson Prince Edward mentions that Parr was “progressing in the Latin tongue”, and Parr herself reprimanded the University of Cambridge for sending a missive in Latin; “and as they be Latin-ly written, (which is so signified unto me by those that be learned in the Latin tongue), so I know you could have uttered your desires and opinions familiarly in our vulgar tongue, aptest for my intelligence”. This may be false modesty, however, and we know she knew at least a little Latin, as well as Italian and Greek.

Chapter 14

“…actually, it can’t be that one, I’m here.” Henry reportedly could not, eh, perform with Anne of Cleves on their wedding night – while this might be because of his suspected impotence, he claimed it was because he had his doubts about Anne’s virginity, claiming that “I never for love of the woman consented to marry; nor yet, if she brought maidenhead (her virginity) with her, took [it] from her by true carnal copulation”.

The emails are both references, but one is more straightforward than the other. Anna’s is simple – 1515 was the year she was born. Richard Jones’ email address is an alchemical joke – 82 is the atomic number for lead, and 79 is for gold. Lead into gold.

Chapter 15

A Levels, also known as Advanced Levels, are the subject-based part of the school-leaving qualification in the United Kingdom (but not Scotland) and other parts of the world, including India, Nepal, Hong Kong, Singapore and Zimbabwe.

Anne of Cleves came over to England in January of 1540. Katherine Howard was executed in February of 1542. Two years, give or take.

4:50 from Paddington, known as What Mrs.McGillicuddy Saw in the U.S., is the seventh novel by Agatha Christie in the Miss Marple collection, and is the payoff of the Catherine of Aragon Murder Mystery Easter egg chain. It has been adapted into other mediums several times, including twice for television, the most recent adaptation in 2004 featuring Toby Marlow in a minor role.

The closest Catherine Parr came to death in her third marriage was when she argued about theology with Henry on a regular basis. Henry (and some conservative members of the court) did not appreciate this, and wrote up a warrant for Parr’s arrest on the grounds of heresy. Parr found out about this, and when she went to see Henry next, claimed she wasn’t arguing with him, but learning from him, “yet must I, and will I, refer my judgment in this, and in all other cases, to your majesty’s wisdom, as my only anchor, supreme head and governor here in earth, next under God, to lean unto”. Flattery tended to work well with Henry, and so Parr lived.

While most of the strange occurrences recounted by Parr are fiction, one or two are based off specific events said to have occurred in one of London’s most haunted houses, 50 Berkeley Square. Two sailors stayed in the house for one night, only to be frightened by an apparition that sent one of them running to find the police. The other was found dead on a fencepost, having fallen onto it in the presumed attempt to escape. While some sources say the apparition was an inhuman creature with a gaping mouth, some say it was the ghost of a previous owner – Thomas Meyers, who lived alone in the house after supposedly being rejected by his fiancee, slowly going insane and dying at the age of 76 in 1874.

‘Dizzard’ is a word meaning fool or idiot, most likely taken from the Middle English word disour, meaning a jester. It was apparently used during the 1500s. If so, Catherine Parr would be familiar with it – she had a female jester called, appropriately, Jane Foole. It has been theorised that the woman on the far left of that 1545 portrait of Henry’s family is in fact Jane Foole, with other favoured jester Will Somers on the other side.

(Why would you put your current wife in the painting you commissioned when you can put your clowns in instead?)

The plot is based on a tendency of Henry VIII’s which both Catherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn had experience with. Henry was a big fan of dressing up in disguises – one of his more famous costumes was Robin Hood, with his friends as the merry men. He would leave an event, get dressed up, return and demand dances and kisses from the present ladies. Everyone was expected to feign ignorance as to who the masked men were, then surprise when Henry revealed himself. The king got very sulky when people didn’t play along.
