Pt 2 of gifs from the Here Come the Brides episode “Mr. and Mrs. J Bolt”. Prospective bride Peggy (Mary Jo Deschanel) has written her uncle saying she’s married to Joshua Bolt (David Soul). She did this because, although she wanted to go to Seattle, she didn’t have his consent to make the trip. As a minor, her uncle is still her legal guardian.

Now he's coming to visit and will surely find out she lied and take her home. Unless...

Joshua and Peggy pretend to be married while he’s in town.

A weaselly, schemer of a man who already squandered her inheritance, Uncle Jebediah is all too happy to hear Peggy married into a family with a flourishing business. He attempts to squeeze his way into the Bolts’ logging operation, threatening to sue them for taking Peggy to Seattle without his consent if they don’t agree to cut him in.

Things get infinitely worse when word of the fake marriage spreads first, to Captain Clancey and, via him, Aaron Stempel.

With the prospect of losing their business and Peggy being forced back into her abusive uncle’s custody looming, Josh and Peggy elope.

In the end, they’re able to send Jebediah away, save their business (and Peggy’s freedom) without she or Josh having to get married. Not realizing they only got a marriage license but didn’t actually go through with the wedding, he leaves.

Peggy keeps the license because it’s good for a year and she might need it.

happy clawloween! pt 2 is uhh its 2 kinds of dead- a dead wip and it has some dead dudes! everything i write has dead dudes its called being very attached to looking back

its set after ayannas umpkill as a fun lil team bonding to celebrate the umpkill, but slipped into "idk where this is going" and "doesnt rly make sense without the massive blackhole looming above us" so yeah. ghost!

they come in waves-

First is mummy knocking at his door, looking a little harried as matteo, ayanna, lottie and daniel chatter behind them. landry hasn’t talked with them, not much, and it’s embarrassing, and maybe a little tiring, to see the vaguely starry eyed look Lottie and Daniel give him- Matteo just gives him a lazy salute and Ayanna smiles as she bounces past him, glowing brightly still. Beasley had already wiggled past the four, Landry gives his head a pat, three heads echoing the happy barking. He’s not quite a dog, Landry thinks, but he’s obviously not too interested in the things Landry has set out and instead wanders around the room, sniffing at corners and nudging at the team.

Hiroto and Dunlap are next- not from the door but from the bathtub Landry has left running for the past 30 minutes, their hair soaking wet when it crosses the line of water and dry by the time Landry holds out his hand to them. hiroto’s the one to help dunlap out- it was easier for them to both pass by atlantis than deal with the usual nonsense of trying to get into hades. no fish- but an hour later, there’s a big delivery of waffles and pancakes and milkshakes, sorry scrawled on the topmost box.

The next few come in overlapping waves- irnee chatting with the randys now- and god, there’s four of them instead of two, randy A talking to irnee about something on the news, randy 1 next to zion as their kids run in. The fifth comes minutes later- mandy looks a little overwhelmed at all the noises from inside his apartment. She sets down a cake when she gets in, waving away his protests and setting down her bag to reveal obviously homemade crafts- little patches, embroidered pieces she spreads out as lottie oohs and ahhs at the different designs, randy b floating above her shoulders. He vaguely recognizes Hatfield and Walton- they come in with a third, a cheerful older woman introducing herself as Mags. New names, new faces, not just for the Tigers but for Landry too- he ignores most blaseball games these days, admittedly, and it’s always a little strange to see the Tigers with the Firefighters or the Jazz Hands so often. He knows the new members, vaguely, talk spreads in the city still, and sometimes there are unfamiliar names brought up in an old group chat. For a moment, Landry just hangs back. He had offered his place, for some reason he doesn’t know- he doesn’t know any of these faces, nothing beyond a passing glance. But Landry can feel the air above Hades growing lighter, not like a weight lifting but like sand slipping between his fingers. If he lies awake too long and lets the dark of the night slowly unspool him, until he feels more like atoms than a body, he can taste where the dark leads. Where the Tigers were tugging them all towards. For the first time in a long time,

“Penny for your thoughts?” a familiar voice drawls out. Famous Owens, late as ever. “Tell Hiroto to stop opening my door for me,” Landry answers absentmindedly, fingers drumming against the countertop. Famous’ lips curl up. “Sure,” they say and that hint of condescension is still there. Landry nearly calls them an asshole but Famous has disappeared before he can say anything.

Landry had not been there to see them after- he remembers, dimly, the haunted look in Scorpler’s eye when they and Moody has appeared in the Hall. For Landry, death had been a final thing, something he was not meant to venture past- memories of those days slips through his hands like smoke on most days, memories losing focus no matter how hard he tries.

They end up on the armchair in the living room- removed from the chaos as half the team are gathered around a table full of patches and materials. Landry doesn’t think much about it- misses the way Famous is watching Lottie’s choices, making sounds of disapproval whenever Ayanna holds something up for them to consider with real interest. When Landry glances over again, Famous is bumping Lottie aside, taking the bag she’s been sticking patches on with a beleaguered air. It makes Landry pause- it’s more than he’s ever seen Famous done with them, once upon a time. It’s new, the way Ayanna looks them in the eye in playful challenge, the way Famous barks a laugh at something she says but doesn’t pull away.

Rose Joan Blondell (August 30, 1906 – December 25, 1979) was an American actress who performed in film and television for half a century.

She began her career in vaudeville. After winning a beauty pageant, Blondell embarked upon a film career. She established herself as a Pre-Code staple of Warner Bros. Pictures in wisecracking, sexy roles, and appeared in more than 100 films and television productions. She was most active in film during the 1930s and early 1940s, and during that time she co-starred with Glenda Farrell in nine films, in which the duo portrayed gold diggers. Blondell continued acting on film and television for the rest of her life, often in small, supporting roles. She was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in The Blue Veil (1951).

Near the end of her life, Blondell was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in Opening Night (1977). She was featured in two more films, the blockbuster musical Grease (1978) and Franco Zeffirelli's The Champ (1979), which was released shortly before Blondell's death from leukemia.

Rose Joan Blondell was born in New York to a vaudeville family; she gave her birthdate as August 30, 1909. Her father, Levi Bluestein, a vaudeville comedian known as Ed Blondell, was born in Poland to a Jewish family in 1866. He toured for many years starring in Blondell and Fennessy's stage version of The Katzenjammer Kids. Blondell's mother was Catherine (known as "Kathryn" or "Katie") Caine, born in Brooklyn, Kings County, New York (later Brooklyn, New York City) on April 13, 1884, to Irish-American parents. Joan's younger sister, Gloria Blondell, also an actress, was briefly married to film producer Albert R. Broccoli. The Blondell sisters had a brother, Ed Blondell, Jr.

Joan's cradle was a property trunk as her parents moved from place to place. She made her first appearance on stage at the age of four months when she was carried on in a cradle as the daughter of Peggy Astaire in The Greatest Love. Her family comprised a vaudeville troupe, the "Bouncing Blondells".

Joan had spent a year in Honolulu (1914–15) and six years in Australia and had seen much of the world by the time her family, who had been on tour, settled in Dallas, Texas, when she was a teenager. Under the name Rosebud Blondell, she won the 1926 Miss Dallas pageant, was a finalist in an early version of the Miss Universe pageant in May 1926, and placed fourth for Miss America 1926 in Atlantic City, New Jersey, in September of that same year. She attended Santa Monica High School, where she acted in school plays and worked as an editor on the yearbook staff. While there (and after high school), she gave her name as Rosebud Blondell, such as when she attended North Texas State Teacher’s College (1926–1927), now the University of North Texas in Denton, where her mother was a local stage actress.

Around 1927, she returned to New York, worked as a fashion model, a circus hand, a clerk in a store, joined a stock company to become an actress, and performed on Broadway. In 1930, she starred with James Cagney in Penny Arcade on Broadway. Penny Arcade lasted only three weeks, but Al Jolson saw it and bought the rights to the play for $20,000. He then sold the rights to Warner Bros., with the proviso that Blondell and Cagney be cast in the film version, named Sinners' Holiday (1930). Placed under contract by Warner Bros., she moved to Hollywood, where studio boss Jack L. Warner wanted her to change her name to "Inez Holmes", 34 but Blondell refused. She began to appear in short subjects and was named as one of the WAMPAS Baby Stars in 1931.

Blondell was paired several more times with James Cagney in films, including The Public Enemy (1931), and she was one-half of a gold-digging duo with Glenda Farrell in nine films. During the Great Depression, Blondell was one of the highest-paid individuals in the United States. Her stirring rendition of "Remember My Forgotten Man" in the Busby Berkeley production of Gold Diggers of 1933, in which she co-starred with Dick Powell and Ruby Keeler, became an anthem for the frustrations of unemployed people and the government's failed economic policies. In 1937, she starred opposite Errol Flynn in The Perfect Specimen. By the end of the decade, she had made nearly 50 films. She left Warner Bros. in 1939.

In 1943, Blondell returned to Broadway as the star of Mike Todd's short-lived production of The Naked Genius, a comedy written by Gypsy Rose Lee. She was well received in her later films, despite being relegated to character and supporting roles after 1945, when she was billed below the title for the first time in 14 years in Adventure, which starred Clark Gable and Greer Garson. She was also featured prominently in A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (1945) and Nightmare Alley (1947). In 1948, she left the screen for three years and concentrated on theater, performing in summer stock and touring with Cole Porter's musical, Something for the Boys. She later reprised her role of Aunt Sissy in the musical version of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn for the national tour and played the nagging mother, Mae Peterson, in the national tour of Bye Bye Birdie.

Blondell returned to Hollywood in 1950. Her performance in her next film, The Blue Veil (1951), earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress in a Supporting Role. She played supporting roles in The Opposite Sex (1956), Desk Set (1957), and Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? (1957). She received considerable acclaim for her performance as Lady Fingers in Norman Jewison's The Cincinnati Kid (1965), garnering a Golden Globe nomination and National Board of Review win for Best Supporting Actress. John Cassavetes cast her as a cynical, aging playwright in his film Opening Night (1977). Blondell was widely seen in two films released not long before her death – Grease (1978), and the remake of The Champ (1979) with Jon Voight and Rick Schroder. She also appeared in two films released after her death – The Glove (1979), and The Woman Inside (1981).

Blondell also guest-starred in various television programs, including three 1963 episodes as the character Aunt Win in the CBS sitcom The Real McCoys, starring Walter Brennan and Richard Crenna.

Also in 1963, Blondell was cast as the widowed Lucy Tutaine in the episode, "The Train and Lucy Tutaine", on the syndicated anthology series, Death Valley Days, hosted by Stanley Andrews. In the story line, Lucy sues a railroad company, against great odds, for causing the death of her cow. Noah Beery Jr., was cast as Abel.

In 1964, she appeared in the episode "What's in the Box?" of The Twilight Zone. She guest-starred in the episode "You're All Right, Ivy" on Jack Palance's circus drama, The Greatest Show on Earth, which aired on ABC in the 1963–64 television season. Her co-stars in the segment were Joe E. Brown and Buster Keaton. In 1965, she was in the running to replace Vivian Vance as Lucille Ball's sidekick on the hit CBS television comedy series The Lucy Show. Unfortunately, after filming her second guest appearance as Joan Brenner (Lucy's new friend from California), Blondell walked off the set right after the episode had completed filming when Ball humiliated her by harshly criticizing her performance in front of the studio audience and technicians.

Blondell continued working on television. In 1968, she guest-starred on the CBS sitcom Family Affair, starring Brian Keith. She replaced Bea Benaderet, who was ill, for one episode on the CBS series Petticoat Junction. In that installment, Blondell played FloraBelle Campbell, a lady visitor to Hooterville, who had once dated Uncle Joe (Edgar Buchanan) and Sam Drucker (Frank Cady). That same year, Blondell co-starred in all 52 episodes of the ABC Western series Here Come the Brides, set in the Pacific Northwest of the 19th century. Her co-stars included singer Bobby Sherman and actor-singer David Soul. Blondell received two consecutive Emmy nominations for outstanding continued performance by an actress in a dramatic series for her role as Lottie Hatfield.

In 1971, she followed Sada Thompson in the off-Broadway hit The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds, with a young Swoosie Kurtz playing one of her daughters.

In 1972, she had an ongoing supporting role in the NBC series Banyon as Peggy Revere, who operated a secretarial school in the same building as Banyon's detective agency. This was a 1930s period action drama starring Robert Forster in the title role. Her students worked in Banyon's office, providing fresh faces for the show weekly. The series was replaced midseason.

Blondell has a motion pictures star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her contributions to the film industry. Her star is located at 6311 Hollywood Boulevard. In December 2007, the Museum of Modern Art in New York City mounted a retrospective of Blondell's films in connection with a new biography by film professor Matthew Kennedy, and theatrical revival houses such as Film Forum in Manhattan have also projected many of her films recently.

She wrote a novel titled Center Door Fancy (New York: Delacorte Press, 1972), which was a thinly disguised autobiography with veiled references to June Allyson and Dick Powell.

Blondell was married three times, first to cinematographer George Barnes in a private wedding ceremony on January 4, 1933, at the First Presbyterian Church in Phoenix, Arizona. They had one child, Norman Scott Barnes, who became an accomplished producer, director, and television executive known as Norman Powell. Joan and George divorced in 1936.

On September 19, 1936, she married her second husband Dick Powell, an actor, director, and singer. They had a daughter, Ellen Powell, who became a studio hair stylist, and Powell adopted her son by her previous marriage under the name Norman Scott Powell. Blondell and Powell were divorced on July 14, 1944. Blondell was less than friendly with Powell's next wife, June Allyson, although the two women would later appear together in The Opposite Sex (1956).

On July 5, 1947, Blondell married her third husband, producer Mike Todd, whom she divorced in 1950. Her marriage to Todd was an emotional and financial disaster. She once accused him of holding her outside a hotel window by her ankles. He was also a heavy spender who lost hundreds of thousands of dollars gambling (high-stakes bridge was one of his weaknesses) and went through a controversial bankruptcy during their marriage. An often-repeated myth is that Mike Todd left Blondell for Elizabeth Taylor, when in fact, she had left Todd of her own accord years before he met Taylor.

Blondell died of leukemia in Santa Monica, California, on Christmas Day, 1979, with her children and her sister at her bedside. She was cremated and her ashes interred in a columbarium at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Glendale, California.

Pt 1 of gifs from the Here Come the Brides episode “Mr. and Mrs. J Bolt”. Prospective bride Peggy (Mary Jo Deschanel) has written her uncle saying she’s married to Joshua Bolt (David Soul).

Pt 2 of gifs from the Here Come the Brides episode “The Stand Off”. Stempel buys a stretch of land that allows him to keep the Bolts from moving their timber to the water and hires some muscle to protect it. When big(gest) bro Jason refuses to accede to Stempel’s demands (controlling interest in the logging business in exchange for allowing passage across his land) fistfights become commonplace, with the Bolts on the losing side.

The brides, sick of their men getting their asses handed to them, withhold affection to try and motivate the boys to find another way to settle the conflict with Stempel.

Stempel eventually suggests a contest of strength (toppling a tree) between his man, Ox, and Jason, to settle things once and for all.
