Gamer Rhett with glasses 🤓 👀👀

this all came from that bit where ben mears is in the library and he's got those chunky ass glasses on and ugh he's so pretty i would jump his bones like mike ryerson jumped him outside the church (i mean thats not really how it happened by c'mon)

rhett needs glasses

he doesn't wear his glasses

its a mix of contacts when he's out or he doesn't bother and suffers through blindness (it makes for an interesting day)

rhett mostly wears his glasses when he's gaming

(he has an xbox, we know this for a fact)

i mean, can't you just picture it?

he could sit close to his tiny little monitor and make do

squinting through (he's not gonna wear contacts when just sitting in his room)

but his chair is covered in clothes

so the alternative is lay in his bed

long legs stretched out in front of him

glasses on his face while he games

the best part is when you're there

tired after a long day at work

(in my head its ranch handing, but doesn't matter)

laying against his chest while rhett games

he doesn't really have friends he games with, so doesn't bother wearing his headset

just laying there, in his glasses, gaming with you against him

there has been times where you have woken up, forgotten that you're in his bed and knocked his glasses off mid game

threw off his K/D ratio

oh rhett is mad into rdr

literally got his xbox to play the second one

rhett's horse is named after his irl horse

you assure her that he still loves her when he's talking about the game

you get rhett into Minecraft

it's not an easy two player game on his tiny monitor, but you two make do

rhetts favourite nights are when he can game, his arms around you, holding you in his lap while he games

you read in his arms, stopping between every round to ask for a kiss

If Glee Did Phineas and Ferb Songs, Who Would Sing What?

Note: these would not be all in the same episode, for various reasons, including that in some cases they take place at different times in canon, also Sue would never sing multiple songs per episode. I'm also going to highlight the absolute non-negotiables to me.

Gitchee Gitchee Goo--New Directions, Sam and Mercedes lead (either an end-of-episode performance in the auditorium, or a competition performance)

Busted--Santana and Brittany (there could be context for this, or it could just be for the heck of it. I'm sure you see my vision)

When We Didn't Get Along--Will Schuester (serenading Sue after she gets fired in S6)

Truck Drivin' Girl--Coach Beiste (I have a very specific context in mind for this, and that is a scene that does not take place in the show, where Beiste teaches Emma to parallel park)

Do Nothing Day--Blaine (like Busted, this pick does not strictly require context, but it could have some)

Ain't Got Rhythm--Mike and Finn (I NEED you to see my vision here, because this is a non-negotiable to me. Mike's dancing, Finn's inability to dance, Finn drumming--beautiful)

You're Going Down--Sue (to Will,at any time, really)

Whatcha Doin'--Emma (to Will, early season one)

The Perry The Platypus Theme--Blaine, Sam, Tina, Artie, Brittany (messing around together in S4)

There's A Platypus Controlling Me--Sue, with the New Directions (Sue did not consent to this)

Takin' Care Of Things--Blaine, Sam, Artie and Tina (this song encapsulates Blamartina--my beloveds--perfectly, and I love it)

Carpe Diem--New Directions, led by Finn and Rachel (end-of episode auditorium performance or comp performance)

The Ballad Of Klimpaloon--Puck with The Boys (just one of the rock songs they do just because)

I Believe We Can--Mason and Jane (for fun)

Real Boy--Artie with Quinn, Santana and Brittany (no context. This should have zero plot relevance, but just one of those numbers that Artie and the UHT do for the sake of it)

I'm Me--Santana (no specific context, but much like Busted, it definitely doesn't need it)

Evil For Extra Credit--MS. BECKY JACKSON

Just The Two Of Us--Mercedes (while third-wheeling Klaine. Or Blam)

Quirky Worky Song--The Warblers (random cut scene to the Warblers)

Livin' With Monkeys--Rachel (heartbroken, on stage in the auditorium, gesturing tragically, big facial expressions, peak Rachel Barbra Berry dramatics)

My Evil Buddies And Me--Sue, Terri, Sandy Ryerson, Dustin Goolsby (During the Legion of Doom arc)

Izzy's Got The Frizzies--Unique (no context whatsoever. at all. none.)

Summer All Over The World--New Directions (beginning of episode group number)

Jump Right To It--Tina, Brittany, Sugar, Unique *maybe Kitty* (telling Marley to go for it with Jake)

They Left Me Standing Outside--Artie (literally any time in the series)

Us Against The Universe: OG Five, with the New Directions (final episode, it's beautiful)

If you have any ideas/reactions/thoughts, please rb with your additions, addendums or thoughts

[lewinblue]

M'dear I hope you don't think this weird but I just saw the full Salem's Lot trailer and now I'm having some um.......thoughts (lol). Some of the characters who were turned I included just for reasons of my own.

I can totally see Ben Mears x wifey!reader living with the entire gang under one roof and running a vampire/monster hunter coven. Like all of them in a gigantic Victorian house at the end of the street, everybody has a room of their own that's personalized to suit their personalities. The house is absolute chaos most days, but ya'll wouldn't have it any other way.

When the guys have their "guy hunts" it's soooooooo much fun. It gives you and the girls of the house some time to yourselves to decompress and not have to deal with shenanigans. Ben will literally send you as many memes as possible from the hunt and his favorite one so far is of Mike Ryerson and Matt Burke standing over an exhumed coffin and Father Callahan is in there with his arms crossed.

When you guys all go on a hunt together? Even more fun. Mark will join you if it's on a Friday night after he's done with his homework. Ben will literally keep Baby Randy strapped to his back (you guys adopted him and changed his name from Randy McDougal to Randy Mears upon his official adoption) as you're all walkin through the woods to the cemetery. Matt Burke brings a portable mix-tape player and he's got all the good shit on there (you guys were all singing along to "Shake Your Rump" by the Beastie Boys to lure in a creature that loves loud noises, lol).

Dahling I'm happy to send in more when and where I can. That trailer has me by the metaphorical nuggets already (lol).

Omg I didn’t even know the trailer dropped!! I take one nap and look what happens.

I absolutely love this. They’re all one big monster hunting family (I bull body laughed at father Callahan I’m the coffin) and imagine even though they’re all there for vampire hunting they get into a comfortable family type of relax with each other and just in the middle of the night sometimes wifey!reader and mark will join in together to prank Ben.

Also, baby Randy, yes in my head he’s actually been adopted since the first page of the book by Ben so this checks out lol.

If you have more keep ‘‘em coming lol

[attapullman]

Mo-Mo, I just had the funniest thought ever regarding Mr. Mears. It's fitting but it's also quite funny (lol).

Ben and Matt Burke are both literature teachers so imagine their shock and disgust when they get the reading list for when school starts. The lady who runs the department and who was also a town board member, basically told them that under no circumstances were they to teach any of the classics, gothic literature, humor books or epic fantasy. Needless to say, both were pissed, especially when they also got the call that Mark was being sent home for having copies of books like Treasure Island, Lord Of The Rings, The Wheel Of Time and Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archives in his locker (kid's a voracious reader thanks to these two).

Ben felt kinda bad about being so pissed off about it, but damn if it didn't lead to you two engaging in the hottest angry hate sex you two have ever had. He's fucked you good before but letting that out was probably the best thing he ever did (lol).

Not only did Matt and Ben decide they were gonna do something about it, but basically the entire coven decided they were gonna get in on it, including Mark's gang of neighborhood goonies. Father Callahan is totally a fan of banned books so he was more than eager to get in on the action.

Matt and Ben grabbed a bunch of books from the shelves in the house library, literally everything you can think of, Dracula, Frankenstein, Huck Finn, Last Of The Mohicans, Jane Eyre, Emma, literally all the good reads, and they hide them in the dust jackets of the "prescribed" books and take them down to the school where they have their students read them. Father Callahan even smuggles a few to the students in his Sunday youth group at the church while Mark and his gang of miscreants do a book swap in their treehouse. Mike Ryerson will sneak a few to his fellow cemetery workers and when Corey Bryant is on his lunchbreak and not repairing the phone lines, he'll sneak a few paperbacks around. A bunch of Ben's books like "Air Dance" have been passed around like a bad case of poison ivy (lol).

One day Matt and Ben are in the middle of a secret lesson when they hear a commotion in the halls and they find that the lady who banned all the good books in the schools has finally gotten her just desserts and her walking papers. Turns out she was fudging a bunch of stuff and a school board member squealed on her. The day she was given her walking papers, everybody in the hall, Ben and Matt included, were all chanting "walk of shame" as she left.

Mo-Mo if you want me to continue this, I might do it as a series when Salem's Lot comes out next month (lol).

Yes! Rage against the banned books! Ben and Matt are truly a dream vampire killing team and would fully be manning the stations to make sure all the good reads are still fully available to the children.

I am so ready for all the 'Salem's Lot lore and headcanons! After re-reading the book I am full on vampire slayer vibes - grab your stakes and crosses and my pus-

3-5 Brax & Kendall?

(Making all of these with Brax as an s2 freshman but then sometimes we make them twins in the crossovers so that’s interchangeable!)

1. When Brax first hears Kendall’s stories about Sandy Ryerson’s glee club he decides he wants nothing to do with it (and is very disappointed because conceptually glee sounds amazing), hearing about Schue doesn’t make that any better, but when he sees them at sectionals he’s determined to join next year!

2. When they were little, britt and Kendall shared a room and Brax had his own, somewhere along the way that changed and Kendall and Brax decided to share a room instead

3. Everyone assumes that they’re twins and they never outright correct anyone, and they won’t answer questions about how old they are

4. Brax (like everyone with a brain) hates Rocky Horror week but he loves getting to tease Kendall about Mike all week, even if he gets hairbrushes thrown at his head for it

5. Somehow Brax and Kendall remain the only best friends in the entirety of the New Directions to never have a huge fight (kendall says the secret is that when you have to trust someone not to shave your head in your sleep, you learn to get along no matter what, she also says it’s because they’re actually psychic)

Salem's Lot - Une adaptation de Stephen King qui capte l'essence de l'horreur des petites villes américaines

Lorsqu'il s'agit de juger une adaptation de Stephen King, il est souvent plus pertinent de se concentrer sur la manière dont le réalisateur capture les particularités de l'auteur que sur la représentation des monstres. Gary Dauberman, scénariste et réalisateur de la dernière version de Salem, prouve sa maîtrise en une seule scène.

Mark Petrie, un garçon de 11 ans qui vient d'arriver dans la petite ville américaine de Jerusalem's Lot, tente d'impressionner ses nouveaux camarades de jeu en réalisant un tour d'évasion à la Houdini. Mais alors qu'il a encore les mains liées, il est attaqué par Richie Boddin, le tyran de l'école. Ce dernier, moqueur, le salue d'un méprisant "Bienvenue à Salem, abruti !". Mark se relève héroïquement et, lorsqu'il est attaqué à nouveau, il riposte et immobilise le bras de son agresseur jusqu'à ce que le professeur, Mr. Burke, intervienne. Ce dernier, après avoir reconnu la faute de Richie, enseigne une leçon à Mark: "La prochaine fois qu���un homme te dit je me rends et qu'il le fait, tu le relâches. À Salem, on tient parole". Cette scène incarne tout ce qui fait l'essence de l'univers de Stephen King, les brutes de l'enfance, un dialogue de style et une communauté isolée mais en mutation. Le réalisateur capture ces éléments avec brio, et ce, avant même que les vampires ne fassent leur apparition.

Une communauté en mutation

L'histoire de Salem suit Ben Mears, un écrivain qui retourne dans sa ville natale dans l'espoir de trouver l'inspiration pour son prochain roman. Au fil de son intégration dans la communauté, il entame une romance avec Susan, une jeune femme aux grands rêves, et se lie d'amitié avec Mr. Burke et le docteur Cody. Mais rapidement, des événements étranges se produisent. Danny Glick, un jeune garçon, meurt soudainement après la disparition de son frère. Sa mère le suit mystérieusement dans la tombe. Mike Ryerson, un autre habitant, tombe malade et décède en une journée. Le shérif Gillespie, quant à lui, ne semble pas vouloir se mêler de ces affaires troublantes.

Ces phénomènes étranges coïncident avec l'arrivée de Richard Starker, un immigré qui rachète la mystérieuse maison Marsten et ouvre une boutique d'antiquités avec son associé Kurt Barlow, un homme encore absent. Alors que la communauté commence à se méfier de Ben, l'étranger qui séduit Susan, la véritable menace, un vampire ancestral, émerge discrètement depuis le sous-sol de la maison Marsten. Starker a une vision sombre pour cette petite ville en déclin.

Une adaptation condensée mais marquante

Cette adaptation de Salem se distingue par son format plus court. Contrairement aux deux précédentes adaptations télévisées, qui duraient environ trois heures, Gary Dauberman réussit à condenser son film en moins de deux heures. Pour ce faire, il utilise des raccourcis narratifs efficaces, soutenus par le contexte des années 1970. Le réalisateur a toujours affirmé son amour pour cette décennie, ce qui lui permet d'aborder l'aspect surnaturel de l'histoire avec une certaine distance et un charme nostalgique.

Cette approche a cependant un coût, les personnages principaux sont peu développés. Ben Mears, incarné par Lewis Pullman, reste souvent impassible, une attitude qui convient à son rôle d'observateur extérieur. Bill Camp et Alfre Woodard, dans les rôles de Mr. Burke et du docteur Cody, apportent une énergie vivante, tandis que Pilou Asbæk s'amuse avec son personnage excentrique de Richard Starker. Certains personnages, comme le père Callahan (joué par John Benjamin Hickey), manquent malgré tout de profondeur. La seule véritable performance nuancée vient de Jordan Preston Carter dans le rôle de Mark Petrie, un jeune garçon qui parvient à rester crédible, même lorsqu'il est confronté à l'horreur.

Une mise en scène soignée

Plutôt que de surcharger le film de dialogues et de caractérisations complexes, le réalisateur concentre son énergie sur des images saisissantes et des scènes d'horreur bien construites. L’horreur de Salem ne réside pas seulement dans les vampires, mais aussi dans l'intrusion d'une force surnaturelle dans une petite ville qui peine déjà à faire face aux changements modernes. Une scène marquante se déroule dans les bois au crépuscule. Deux jeunes garçons marchent vers leur maison, leurs silhouettes se fondant dans un paysage aux couleurs veloutées et turquoise. L'image serait apaisante si une ombre plus grande n'apparaissait pas soudainement derrière eux, engloutissant l'un des garçons avant de disparaître. Gary Dauberman joue également avec la perspective lorsque l'un des garçons est transporté à l'intérieur de la maison Marsten, emprisonné dans un sac. Nous voyons la scène à travers un trou dans celui-ci, un effet qui nous force à partager le point de vue terrifiant de la victime.

Le poids du passé

Malgré la qualité visuelle et l'atmosphère maîtrisée du film, le choix de maintenir l'intrigue dans les années 1970 affaiblit une partie de la puissance de l'histoire. Dans le roman de 1975, Stephen King avait l'idée innovante de confronter un vampire traditionnel, avec ses peurs des symboles religieux et ses habitudes ancestrales, à une société moderne. Dauberman conserve cette idée, mais en l'ancrant dans le passé, il prive le récit d'une certaine résonance contemporaine. Aujourd'hui, les petites villes comme Jerusalem's Lot sont aussi éloignées de notre quotidien que la Transylvanie pouvait l'être en 1931. En fin de compte, le réalisateur capture avec habileté l'atmosphère et le ton de Salem, mais en situant son film dans le passé, il transforme cette histoire d'horreur en une simple fable divertissante sur des événements qui semblent se dérouler bien loin de notre réalité actuelle.

[halflingkima]

as much as tariq is like. the sitcom trope of useless flop (essentially used as a sponge for conflict consequences), i love what they've done with the trope.

idk if it's a catalogued trope or what it's actually called, but it seems every sitcom has a recurring minor character that serves as a hate sink. it's this pathetic little man (gender neutral) that you're intended to (at least) dislike that soaks up the unavoidable consequences of sitcom hijinks. youre intentionally set up/trained to have low empathy for them, so when actually bad things happen to them specifically, it doesn't truly break the tone of the sitcom.

[[for example, glee had a full b-cast of these characters in s1, but responded (imo wisely & genuinely) to criticisms, and dumped them by mid-s2; s1 was the rachel/finn/quinn & will/emma & kurt/mercedes show, leaving not just caricatures like sandy and terri as these hate-sinks, but effectively everyone else in glee as well. by effectively dumping characters like ken tanaka and sandy ryerson and fleshing out characters like mike, brittany, and even terri, they lost these hate-sinks, leading – arguably – to a teen audience (with more rudimentary media comprehension) to confuse the show's genre]]

the mcpoyles in iasip are the most egregious example of this trope, because the show is satirizing it, as it does with the whole genre – the main characters are already bad enough (and not immune to Narrative), the audience doesn't really need this hate sink so it feels extra absurd. but parks & rec does it, the good place does it, b99 does it, himym does it, crazy ex girlfriend does it. Every show has its own flavor, but it's there. So when someone needs to do jail time, suffer an injury, have a bad breakup, whatever, we can point and laugh and move on instead of making a whole story beat about it.

i usually hate it and grit my teeth until the character's gone, but i'm finding that's not the case with tariq. in s1 he was more typically the hate-sink, as an obvious obstruction to the main romance, a direct obstacle to all of the main character's goals, actively making situations worse – resulting in the "please leave and never come back feelings" and the relief when he leaves the show. [[idr if he's in s2 lmfao]] But I like that they a) didn't drag that out and b) have reintroduced him in a wholly different context and he's like. the sunshine version of this trope? he's like pathetic wet dog that needs to be contained for his own safety and more dumb as rocks golden retriever that can be easily corralled voluntarily

idk if i'm making this whole thing up – like maybe he'll get more character work or maybe he'll cause more problems, maybe he has a more significant narrative function (which many of these flop characters do) – but it's a pattern i see and i wanted to note it for myself.
