Hey! You got an insta acc? Easier to save posts there and collect them

Nope, sorry! We are only on tumblr at the moment!

The only Instagram account that we have is @ che.cocche, the one where we post the adventure a of our chickens and other animals. Not very Good Omens themed unless you count our pigeons, who we affectionately started to call Aziraphale and Crowley ahah

The L Word Reboot - Fancast

So, what if we get a TLW reboot? So this is my Fancast for that hypothetical idea

Adria Arjona as Bette Porter

Listen, no one is gonna match JBeals portray of the character, but we can try to find someone who can do it justice (this actually can be said about this whole fancast really). And in this case, I think Adria ia really good at bringing this girl boss aura. Of course, it would be a change in Bette's back story and struggles, being all about her latin ancestry instead of her black/mixed ancestry but I still think it could work just fine. Or, if they want an older actress to portray an older Bette, there's Zoe Saldana who is in their 40's

Phoebe Dynevor as Tina Kennard

Look at her, just look.

Nell Tiger Free as Jenny Schecter

Okay, okay, I just want to see her play gay. Busted. But in defense, she is great at doing a problematic -with crazy girl aura - character. Fellas who watched Servant will understand. But other actress who could play the role is Victoria Pedretti

Joe Keery as Tim Haspel

Jenny's betrayal is supposed to hurt both Tim and the the audience, as we should be caught in a cross fire between wanting her to be with Marina and yet not approving her cheating on Tim. And who's better than Joe? Bro is charismatic and would evoke those feelings in the audience

Kelsey Chow as Marina Ferrer

Look at her gaze. Just look. She effortlessly has this striking gaze that is essential to Marina

Ayo Edebiri as Alice Pieszecki

I don't think I need to sell you this one

Naomi Scott as Shane McCutcheon

I know what some of y'all my think, that she is not gay or butch but just look at this photo and tell me y'all can't see the potential?

Sarah Pidgeon as Dana Fairbanks

Girl needs to work, she is great

Stephanie Nur as Helena Peabody

Fellas who watched Spec Ops Lioness knows what I'm talking about.

Melissa Barrera as Carmen de la Pica Morales

I also don't think I need to sell you this one

Ps: There's actresses I wanted to put in this but I didn't see how they could fit, at least not without changing the essence of those characters but I definitely wanted to see Katy O'Brien, Alice Braga, Lucy Lawless, Carla Gugino...and other openly queer actresses like Katy in this type of projects

[ruby-red-inky-blue]

small things on my second (third?) unsleeping city rewatch, pt 1

truly nothing compares to that first episode. I've never seen characters and a world so deftly introduced in such a perfect tone, setting up so much of the reveals down the line in everyone's first goddamn scene

I ADORE Margaret Encino, I really do. I still think that TUC1's Pete is my favourite Ally character of all time. Watching him stubbornly refuse to accept that this is not just a bad trip is so good, and honestly good on them for introducing their character with a fake name to half the party and keeping that going literally until Brennan forced them to drop it. They're playing the trust issues so well and it bringes such a fantastic crunchy tension to the group dynamic, bless them for going so hard on this character

the dynamics on the right side of the table have my entire heart:

Ally still being occasionally overwhelmed and Murph hovering at their shoulder like an excited dad teaching his kid to drive

the brutal and beautiful clash between Misty's and Kug's vibes at all times

whenever Pete is doing anything blatantly illegal and Kug the character is taken over fully by Brian 'Lawful Good' Murphy the person. It'll always be Ally doing their scene and Murph being So Scandalised beside them

Siobhan and Murph low-key egging each other on whenever it's about playing the Party Elders

"Do you want me to roll for you?" "Yes, I do, actually! I might make Siobhan my designated roller."

Siobhan and Ally just absolutely shattering at the Wally reveal

honestly so in love with how endlessly polite Ally and Murph are about trading their dice back and forth, every combat there's just a pleasant background chatter of "here you go" "oh thank you" "you're welcome", it's a very small thing but it's so pleasant to see

all three of them being SO nosy and sympathetic about each other's rolls

.

god I love the Pixie wedding so much. The atmosphere, the endless Godfather references, the massively creepy intro to Robert and co, the silly dancing, poor Sofia struggling hard (and Murph and Ally commiserating even harder), "It's my special day so, if you're gonna cry, you should leave", Ally's face when Robert mentions the bubbles, the absolute perfect suspense move of casually going "Kugrash you know this guy" when even Misty didn't, it's all SO good

honestly the perfect episode maybe?

Zac, Murph and Emily's reaction to La Gran Gata is so funny. They're truly The Most Cat People

also Murph's long-suffering but extremely fond "...always needs a familiar"

Emily and Murph are SO tuned specifically into each other all season (can't help but suspect this is a natural consequence of the seating arrangement tbh), but narratively it makes so much sense! Kug was Sofia's intro to the Unsleeping City so she turns to him for everything, and he knew exactly how miserably she was doing and how new this is for her so he's looking out for her and trying to cheer her up in his trashfire ways (and also probably feels some kinda way about seeing someone so shattered by their husband's abandonment). This friendship forever and always

I'm outspoken absolute trash for Sofia and Kug, but the first Dream Team's party dynamic overall is probably my favourite ever party dynamic. There's so much respect and admiration and history and mistrust and fondness and protectiveness and perfectly calibrated power imbalances in terms of knowledge of the word vs. actual magical power, every two characters together have individual conflicts and connections and dynamics, it's just. Perfect.

"Hey Pete, I... bless you with the blessings of um, uh... some pidgeons who died... near a church..."

coming from Twilight Sanctorum where Murph was on an unreal lucky streak for his standards, seeing Kug and his abysmal rolls is truly so funny

given that this is the season that spawned "I'm all the bad guys", I always forget how benevolent a DM Brennan is in TUC. Like, Zac is rolling badly in Ricky's first real talk with Esther? No dude you were funny, take some inspiration (is this literally the only time Brennan gives inspiration on D20???). Emily is disappointed when she doesn't find cool shit in the Bodega? No, you just saved the cat, it's giving you advantage!

the whole weird sexual energy happening between Sofia and La Gran Gata, special shout-out to Murph's face when Sofia says "I'll be waiting, but not in an impatient, desperate way" and "You are not the first woman to turn to a cat when her marriage has fallen apart"

Ricky, Ox and Kug the busted mutt having a jogging sesh will never not be funny, "It's fine, fuck me, go! You stupid kid! You goddamn beautiful boy, you fucker! You absolute asshole!"

"Animal control has decended on you"

Ricky being canonically too hot to stealth

"Just another perfect day for the luckiest, hottest man in New York"

Ricky's selfies and texts to Esther, my beloved

"Misty goes in, word-perfect, note-perfect-" "Please roll low, please roll low..." and Murph's absolute delight at someone else rolling a nat three

Misty and Alyssa tho. Siobhan is ice-cold. "No, I know you're sorry." "This will never happen again -" "No, it won't."

Kug in David's home, just. That whole scene. Crushing. The letter?? Everyone around the table bracing for impact before Kug even opens it. "I leave the letter... because I'll remember it."

we all know this, but Kingston and Liz's talk at the precinct is ICONIC. "Because of you I live in a fucking cartoon now!" lives rent-free in my head

Sofia's tiny meltdown in the drugstore is so funny. Also, her reaction to a random man getting all up in her business is an immediate "Okay! I fight him!" I love her so much

Spaghetti's Bakery, my beloved

The Cry Booth (and half the table cracking up at Pete’s incredibly quick “oh yeah he mistimed the pour over” excuse)

God I love how hateable Priya is. I love nuanced characters a lot but occasionally. You need a villain. Who is just a raging manipulative bitch. For the catharsis

The Talk About Pete?? Incredible. Kingston's devotion gaining such a dangerous edge, like damn, Lou, out the gate with "if things get out of hand, we put him down. Straight up." Kug, searching for a way to explain why he hates this whole situation and landing on just interrupting this extremely serious discussion by yelling "I have kids! I have kids! I fucked up raising my kids!". Misty wanting to lock everyone that bothers her in a cave (it can be a nice cave!). Ricky, the goodest of good beans, pointing out that if they're protecting all of New York, that also means protecting Pete.

All Hail Kug's rat swarms, I love them so much! "Our lives suck anyways!" "We prefer death!" Truly just a LotR girly gifting another some sewer Rohirrim (aka, "sorry i made you play superheroes buddy, can i interest you in some tiny high fantasy dynamic to make it better?")

Brennan revelling in his players outrage will never not be funny

Kingston continues to go so hard, casting heat metal and taking equal damage himself, "What do you say to her?" "Nothing."

the idea of some poor train driver hitting a mounted cop in a subway tunnel

"Live like a rat, die like a rat." !!!

The LOVE for the city radiating off of Brennan and Siobhan in particular is so so sweet

Pete opening the mind link and then just being silent on the line, ultimate power move

god I fucking LOVE this fraught dynamic so much. Always give me groups that have secrets!!!

WALLY AND KUG

just a reminder that Sofia has pictures of Kugrash hugging his son :(

Nod is so fun. The talking cherry tomatoes, the mobsters literally sleeping on the bottom of the river, the dreamworld literally receeding from Kingston, Brennan's mind is just incomprehensible to me

"Ricky, you're gonna get a clue one of these days!" "I know, I think I'm close!"

Siobhan reading The New Colossus!! Also, Emma Lazarus as a Vox Phantasma!

"She's gonna kill you." "Only if she can get here, and I have her goddamn shoes!" God, I love Misty so much, what a pompous little old savage

The Hell scene is SO GOOD though, with the coked-up rat men all scrambling for a finite amount of money!! Murph's "Oh no, this isn't subtle at all!" will always make me crack up. Also can I hear a hell no on the concept of "you weren't so much transformed as made to take the form of your soul"?

Ricky being complimented by the Statue of Liberty

"the danger, of course, is losing the dream in the pursuit of your ability to obtain the dream"

Sofia's (and Emily's tbh) RAGE at the Dale revelation, GOD

also "He's got a job to do on earth! He has deer in the backyard to watch!" Emily!! She cannot keep getting away with this

I really love Pete's evolved wild magic mechanic so much

The Kingston Brown biographical exhibit :(

Goddd Sophie and her brother!! The most tense of scenes!! My love for Sofia knows no bounds

[davestriderpostscratch]

I swear you made a blog for your swap but i cant find it, so im askin here: does vriska strider have a relationship with the local crows like canon dave did? Actually i have no idea if theres abunch of crows in LA i live on the east coast and seee more seagulls everywhere a crow should be. I kno NY has pidgeons as their main Birb. Hrm. But yeah does vriska have local birbs wandering into her room on the regular

(swap blog is ask-unstuck but asks are closed right now)

vriska and aranea live in las vegas, not los angeles (karkat and kankri are the ones that live in california), but vriska would probably have a more antagonistic relationship with whatever bird pests hang out around her place than dave did. dave seemed like he just kind of let them do their thing and only shooed them out when he needed them gone but i think vriska is the kind of person to go to like. extreme tom and jerry esque lengths to keep them out only to lose her shit when they get in anyway

[happykittensday]

Happy kitty day. Love: Your pidgeon.

My dearest babyboy:

Aunque es tu cumpleaños, tú eres el regalo. Este día nació el amor de mi vida, el amor de mi existencia, mi karma más grande para enseñarme que el hilo rojo existe y que no importa qué tan lejos queramos correr del otro, siempre vamos a terminar encontrándonos mutuamente.

Durante diez años intentamos mantenernos lejos, intentamos convencernos de que éramos capaces de perdernos en otros cuerpos, de olvidarnos en otros labios. Solamente para entender que no, que el amor nos convierte en dementes y que no importa qué tanto queramos ignorar lo que nos pasa. Nuestro lugar en el mundo es junto al otro.

Que hayas vuelto a buscarme fue el highlight de mi año. Poder llamarte mi novio y celebrarte a viva voz y sin andarnos escondiendo de nadie, porque el amor es siempre algo que celebrar. Y por eso yo te celebro hoy a ti.

Décimo cumpleaños amándote con locura, siendo mejores amigos y compañeros.

Hoy, como los nueve anteriores, solamente quiero recordarte que en esta vida te mereces absolutamente todo. Te mereces felicidad, luz y paz. Te mereces ser el hombre más feliz del mundo. Y voy a dedicar cada día de mi vida para asegurarme de que eso sea así.

Esto es sólo una pequeña muestra de lo que significas para la gente, de la luz que eres en la vida de las personas. Como te dije, el impacto que generas en la existencia de quien te acercas al punto de no poder olvidarte más ni dejarte ir. Espero que estas palabras te muestren un poco de lo que eres para las personas que tanto te amamos.

Te amo más de lo que las palabras pueden explicar.

Tu mera existencia me hace la gatita más feliz del universo.

Happy bday, meu gatinho.

§ 3.140. De corazón a corazón (Mervyn LeRoy, 1941)

 

Una historio sentimental, emocional y sencilla que es bastante mejor de lo que parece. Poco a poco te va metiendo en el tema, con suavidad y definición, sin dudas. Comienza como una novela rosa pero va virando, poco a poco hacia una comedia sentimental profunda y encantadora. De esas que se recuerdan por siempre.

Cuenta la historia real de Edna Gladney, una activista por los derechos de los niños huérfanos.

Greer Garson está absolutamente impresionante, brillante, satisfecha de sí misma, en un papel que le va como anillo al dedo. Y qué decir de Walter Pidgeon, un actor clásico, varonil y muy cotizado que siempre encaja en los papeles. Forman una pareja muy interesante que  actuaron juntos también en La Señora Miniver (William Wyler, 1942).

Es inevitable que tenga un punto lacrimógeno. Y yo soy un fulano de lágrima fácil. Me ha gustado mucho.

Tournament Two

Congratulations to Esther Sinclair for winning her mini-sudden-death round and being the first NPC to progress to Tournament Two. My inbox is open so PLEASE keep submitting. I've actually had very few submissions so far so if you have been holding out don't delay.

Submissions close at 8pm BST on the 24th of September. The new series will be posted on the 1st of October to give me more time to actually put the brackets together.

Rules:

Any NPC from any Campaign, Sidequest or One-Shot up to and including Mentopolis is allowed.

Familiars / animal companions are accepted

NPCs from this tournament CAN be sumitted. However they must have lost in ROUND ONE. For example Nurse Stitchnit who fought valiently but lost by less than 1% to Citrina Rocks. If you are unsure there is a list of eligible losers under the cut.

All sumbissions should include propaganda. This is not essential but where propaganda is not provided I have to make it up and while I try not to show bias this is much harder for NPCs I don't know / like.

Anyone can submit as many NPCs as they like, there is not a limit on how many can be submitted by a single person.

A submission of any NPC who won Round One but lost later on WILL NOT COUNT.

However, they have a chance at redemption in the Sudden Death Mini Rounds which are being uploaded throughout September. See here for more details on those

You may submit any of the following losers from Round One of the original tournamen
