Hey uhhhh

Does anyone wanna send me small Fenro springtime prompts? 👉👈

[britcision]

So I saw this post right before I watched Gatwa’s Doctor Who season finale and uh

Let me just say

“Killing the bad guy makes you just as bad” is EXACTLY this line of thinking and it drives me nuts

(Sutekh’s one life is worth exactly as much as Every Other Life In The Universe Combined, huh? Really Doc? That’s the line? Also you absolutely already murdered this exact specific guy back in Baker-times this is the dumbest place possible for “well now I’m a monster too”

Been a monster for murdering Literally This Person for 11 regenerations bestie just because you fucked it up doesn’t change that you decided and did your best to do it)

(Loved the reveal on Ruby’s mum though. 10/10 perfect, “things are important because we make them important” was such a better and more important moment

The only tweak I’d make there would be if the big dramatic walk to Sutekh ended with her holding out the screen and saying “it only found my dad” and then dropping it before he could see cuz yeah plot twist Sutekh humans have 2 parents there are 2 mysteries)

Have heard of the mandela catalouge through film theory but have never actually watched it by myself lmao

Oooh, well it’s good! If you love horror, I would recommend.

[hotvintagepoll]

Charles McNaughton (Treasure Island)—he is such a weird little weird pirate in this movie!!!! the whole movie is creeEEEEeepy at this point, weird characters showing up at the bar FREAKING jim hawkins ass out, but charles mcnaughton's black dog (the first of many weirdos) takes the cake for me.

Dwight Frye (Dracula, Frankenstein)—he's my babygirl please please please please please i want to baby bird feed him flies and spiders and pick him up and make glitter edits of him and give him gross forehead kisses like he's my cat. in dracula he was so incredibly creepy that he was typecast as madmen for the rest of his life and he fucking hated it but by god if he didn't do a fantastic job. he steals the show every time he's up on screen just because he's so fucking deranged. i need him

This is round 1 of the contest. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. If you're confused on what a scrungle is, or any of the rules of the contest, click here.

[additional submitted propaganda + scrungly videos under the cut]

Charles McNaughton:

Link to the entire movie of Treasure Island [1932]—McNaughton comes in at 12:02. I haven't seen the whole movie in a long time so go forward with caution for content warnings!

Dwight Frye:

He absolutely owns the entirety of Dracula (1931). Compared to the novel, his part is massively expanded and it's clear why. He's magnetically unhinged and his facial expressions are pure scrungle. And in Frankenstein, he begins the archetype of Frankenstein's assistant even if the character's name there is Fritz. He'd still go on to play other scrungly guys in later Frankenstein movies. But he's kinda the archetypal and progenitor of the scrungly lil guy.

The scrungliest guy ever to scrungle. He's pretty much the blueprint for every mad scientist's assistant, and he's the best part of every movie he's in. He manages to make you feel sorry for the creepy little dudes, even when he's eating spiders and crawling across the floor.

[editor's note: content warning for the "hunchback" stereotype and "madness" in the clips below]

the "Rats" soliloquy:

I saw him in Dracula and frankly he has me bewitched. I could watch him do his silly routine forever. The gay tension with Bela Lugosi onscreen was frankly unparalleled. Kirk and Spock levels. I am chewing on the furniture

Played the weirdo little guy in Dracula AND the weirdo little guy in Frankenstein in the same year. Iconic.

I honestly think it would be a crime to ignore Dwight Frye's scrungle factor. He played two of the prototypical creepy little henchman as Dracula's lackey Renfield and Dr. Frankenstein's hunchback servant Fritz, and I believe that his excellence in these roles absolutely shaped the future character tropes of the "Igor" type as much as Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff shaped the future understanding of Dracula and Frankenstein's monster. He's got it all from the looks, to the manic energy, to the crazed laugh, I'm telling you right now that I think he could win the entire tournament.

The scrungles to end all scrungles! There's a reason why this man codified the manic vampire's familiar and the hunchbacked lab assistant for generations, because by God can this man be feral and scrungly: Whether he's soliloquizing about rats as Renfield, scurrying around Frankenstein's lab like a spider as Fritz, or skulking around dark alleys (and scaring the hell out of little baby me) waiting for a fresh heart to steal as Karl, if you want a scrungly little man for your classic film, Dwight Frye is your man. He has the range to play varying kinds of scrungle, with his wide eyes, his manic smiles, his soft, breathy voice, he is truly an undisputed scrungle master.

Soliloquy

Day 7. No song today, I was simply possessed. Raphael x Tav.

Enjoy the blood and bones of the House of Hope, little love- the way the screams echo off the mosaiced pool, the sighs of pain morphing into moans of melodious pleasure; the frisson up your spine when you hear a choked off cry, the sultry slip of shame into your delightfully wobbly belly, they herald something greater. An eagerness will grip you in time, pup, to draw that music from the mouths of others- the demon's, perhaps, or mine, or the myriad shades who bow and scrape bare-kneed in the filth that bore them. Some day, mouse. I will teach you, and you will learn to command, and to obey, to raise an army in fear and lust, to crush it beneath your dainty booted feet. But for now... take it in. Come to me when you have fed, and the marrow of this place will sink under your skin, the fires of hell licking like so many starving beasts at your flesh and sinew. Welcome in, sweetest of sins- make yourself at home.

Freaky Friday (I woke up in my enemy's body)

Read | 8K | M

“So he’s entered some weird-ass, stress-induced fever dream where he’s in Henry’s body. It’s probably, like, the latent guilt Alex feels for the repercussions this will have on his mom’s approval rating even though the whole thing is objectively stupid and people will forget about it in a week.” Or, a FirstPrince Body Swap AU.

I finally get to share this Halloween, Huh? fic with y'all and I'm so excited! Beyond the summary: this fic is Canon Divergence (picks up directly after Cakegate), Dual POV, Crack Treated Seriously. Featuring a soliloquy about Henry's dick, among other things.

Also yes, the title is from both the movie and a riff of the Lil Dicky song, no, I will not be taking any further questions at this time about it.

Self Rec Tag

ty @caustinen for the tag! (btw i adore your hollywood au!!)

He May Be The Reason | clegan

aka the notting hill au. my first chaptered fanfic and it’s been so fun to write. going to do my best to finish it in the next few weeks. sort of a bookstore/actor au mashup, w hollywood heartthrob Gale Cleven and travel bookshop owner John Egan. John gets to be british, little brother Croz, miscommunication and pining tropes galore. + it will have a happy ending, as promised by my recent post-main-fic oneshot

No Proof, One Touch | clegan

written for the wota summer event bc i wanted to write “it’s too hot for hugs” and fell a lil in love with describing the boys pre-war and pre-relationship. the pining of it all. the noticing.

Sugar Coated (Melting in Your Mouth) | clegan

john on his knees. john mouthing at gale’s crotch. face sitting. gale asking for what he needs. john taking care of gale. it’s got it all, what else can i say

Baby, My Tongue Goes Numb | crossdavis/the bikeriders

the first instalment in the honey you need it-verse. not chronologically, but the first one i wrote. working title was “benny gag fest” which i think is a pretty good summary. this one fried my brain to write, literally couldn’t look at the word “tongue” after. multiple orgasms, praise kink, breath play, tongue clamp, overstimulation, subspace, this one is so! much!

Already Know What You Got Going On Down There | crossdavis/the bikeriders

the other honey you need it fic i’ve posted. was supposed to be a drabble but became longer (oh nooo). benny in a lil blue nightie trying to get johnny’s attention. ends w a lil spank <3

Hey it’s been a while! Lot of stuff happened, new meds, got my very first apartment (750, Trash, Water, Electricity, with WiFi included, I don’t know how I got that lucky), but I’m back to bother you with new questions. And combining it with a shared favorite, GITM! How do you think your BAL boys would work in the mansion? I know they’d probably get along best with Fool, but what’s your take?

Hi hi hello I missed you!! Omg that is. Such a good price HELL yeah! I'm glad you're doing good!! Oh boy I. Really need to continue reading GITM again fjddj (got stuck wanting to make art at chapter 5)

Hi. It is a few hours later, and I have read up to chapter 9 djdhdh

OK! Answer might change in the future when I get to know the denizens of the Mill more, but without further ado–

Well! First of all, I think it would be more interesting if they're in the midway point of their journey? And I feel like it'd be interesting if they were stuck (more like an intentional thing by Fazco techs) as Sun physically, with Moon able to pipe in as usual.

Some hard boundaries were set in place - the dynamic duo CANNOT be manhandling old man Harry JDJFJDD they Almost do it ONCE, and they develop a healthy respect for Sunspot after the stern talking-to it gets them

Help, I'm thinking too hard about this

I even made a list of possible names for them fjdbdbd

Soliloquy, Thespian, Chorus, Shakespear, Gemini (Castor and Pollux, the twin stars fjdbd), Jekyll and Hyde, Charming

I feel like they'd get a bunch of nicknames

Anyway!

I feel like they'd get along with Fool best, you're so right! Theatrical, and very playful, though maybe a little less disrespectful and debonaire than Fool tends to be fjfjfj Fool would prob call them something like Charming because of Sun's prince charming tendencies

Also they are in direct competition with Fool for draping their big coat on Cricket's shoulders pff

They'd get along with Misuta also, though I feel like it might get a little strained at times with them stuck in Sun mode (you know why... Sun theater bot) and a little more restless?

They would get along with Soleil for exactly as long as it takes for Sol to realize that Moon is almost always online, and then they would not get along at all, oh boy. Well, I say that, but it's more like Sol would try and convince Sun to do without his counterpart (impossible, they're not quite an Eclipse but not quite two people) , and the boys would think it's all in good fun to trade elaborate insults with Soleil. Who I feel calls them something like Jekyll and Hyde from then on pff

I think I've settled on Soliloquy (so-lil-o-kwee), ironically nicknamed Solo.

I love the idea that sometimes they're called the Twins pfff

Face and Heel. Heads or Tails ehehe

Oh! Almost forgot the Cricket nickname! I was thinking muse, but that's too cliché. I think they catch them moving to their tunes in the basement and call them "jitterbug" <3

On a more angsty note, they spent a lot of time in complete isolation, so they probably get overstimulated easily, and a little manic as a result, oop. Like a lot of the bots, they would probably be confined to the Mill itself.

Sun will intentionally try to let Moon control their body. It doesn't work quite as well and still looks like Sun visually, but it kind of gives an uncanny 'puppet' vibe to their movements. It makes Moon much less dangerous - poor guy can't get fine movements quite right

Anyway thank you so much for your ask Starry!!
