How Michael Sheen takes the perfect photo, The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show - 01/03/2024

[ingravinoveritas]

Michael on the Zoe Ball Show this morning talking about David at the BAFTAs and I am dying. Notable excerpt:

ZB: "Ah, Michael Sheen, must say, well done to your mate DT at the BAFTAs." Michael: "Ohh, he did good. The boy did good!" ZB: "He did so good!" Michael: "And he looks good in a kilt as well, doesn't he?"

So...ten seconds into Michael's appearance on the show and David comes up (on St. David's Day, no less). And apropos of absolutely nothing, Michael brings up David looking good in that kilt. Unprompted. For no reason whatsoever. I need to lie down...

watching “gay” media in 2012: ughhh i hope my precious little cinnamon roll does something a little limp wristed in this episode. i hope when a minor character accuses them of being gay in a way that’s nearly classifiable as a hate crime they don’t vehemently deny it this time!

watching gay media in 2023: ughhhh i hope i get to see blorbo from my shows getting spitroasted and fucked sideways from sunday and getting his balls tickled and getting it total sloppy wet style

I recently watched the episode titled "Bowling for Razzberries" from Laverne and Shirley, and now I desperately need a Better Call Saul mailroom-era style episode modelled from it. This would include an HHM-wide bowling tournament, management versus the mailroom, which Jimmy takes all too seriously as an opportunity to humiliate Howard. When Jimmy falls sick on the night of the tournament, Kim tells him to stay home and rest, saying she and Ernie will kick ass for him. Nevertheless, Jimmy shows up at the bowling alley, feverish as hell, to get a win for the mailroom and, of course, "accidentally" drop a bowling ball on Howard's foot.

Hi guys, it’s been a few weeks now since I last posted. I didn’t plan on going on hiatus, but this year really has it out for me. Every time something bad happens, and I’ve just started dealing with that Mountain of Shit, another one pops up. Like whack-a-mole. I keep looking at an invisible camera, acting like I’m in The Office because there is no way this shit is real.

The upside is that I’ve been working on some stuff while I was gone, so I will try to find some time to get that done and posted in the next couple of days. I started writing the first chapter of my vampire!Matt series Carpe Noctem, the next chapter for Chaos Theory (almost finished, too), and the next chapter for Do No Harm. There’s some other stuff I have in store, but I’m going to keep that to myself. For now.

I want you all to know that I saw your lovely messages/comments and I’m so grateful for your support <3 I will get to answering them individually today or tomorrow, at the latest. This is just to give you a little heads-up that I’m not dead. I’m very much hanging in there.

I love you all.

PS. One of those mountains of shit included an incident that made it impossible for me to go to the comic con I already had tickets for, meaning I didn’t even get to wear my cosplay. I will do a photo shoots one of these days just for you guys and post it because I was so excited to be Elektra. It’s a great emotional and financial cost, but I can’t change it now. Unfortunately.

The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show - 01/03/2024

[ingravinoveritas]

David mentioned Michael (entirely unprompted) while on The Zoe Ball Show this morning with Jodie Whittaker. Apparently Jodie ran into Michael in a toy shop in Australia while Michael was in Oz for Amadeus. David also does a little impression of Michael's voice, which is the most adorable thing ever...

[meanwhileinthestcu]

(Imagined dialogue)

"Alright Michael can you bring your face in reeeeally close..."

Meanwhile, Miles Maitland leaves a trail of trampled character personas in his wake as he scampers to the surface.

"Perfect."

[bewareofitalics]

Okay, these are pretty great. :D

I will forever be upset that the camera isn't moved just a little bit more to the left during TAC's Master of the House.
