No but for real killing Jean like that would be like an objectively bad writing choice. Same thing I think with the Kandreil draft where everyone thought Andreil was cheating on Kevin. There are some previous drafts things I think that are geniunely better as Nora's inside thoughts

it’s not that i disagree with you or anything but the reason i shared that snippet of her saying that in other drafts jean would have committed suicide while ON THE PHONE with KEVIN is that i think it’s deranged. it’s insane. it’s crazy enough to be funny. i’d give everything to read that draft

but on a more serious note: a world where something like that could happen is interesting to me. the way she put it didn’t even seem like jean’s choosing of kevin to witness his last moments was a punishment — instead kevin was, as simply put as possible, the person jean wanted to sit with him while he did perhaps the scariest thing he’s ever done. i think suicide as a theme in a story like aftg might feel as the author refusing to give a character the place or the time to heal, but in this specific situation, perhaps it *was* the choice that made jean feel more at peace with himself. ritualistic, almost, in how he reaches out for the only friend he’s ever had and asks him to accompany him to the other side. the sending off of an old friend, even if i can’t see kevin ever recovering from that phone call

in the end it might not be the dignified ending people would want for a character as beloved as jean. and it’s understandable! really it is. what matters to me is less that it happened in a draft far far far away, and rather what this says about jean and the fact that he thought the only way he could meaningfully show any support or love for kevin was to die. how he was willing to sacrifice himself again and again in every draft because he felt kevin’s & neil’s lives were worth more than his. i think this goes over most peoples’ heads when they consume mostly fanon, but jean was described in the books as having blind loyalty towards riko: when he’s taken to palmetto, he tries to go back TWICE before kevin sits him down and convinces him to stay. you didn’t think i was joking when i called jean a dog, did you?

Sparks Fly part 2

Series masterlist

A/n: so sorry this took so long to get out 😭 also the timeline is kinda messed up but it’s 90s!tommy in this story so yeah takes place in the 90s

Pairings: Tommy Lee x Fem!Country Singer!reader

And soon enough you got a call from Tommy. He asked you out for dinner and of course you said yes. You’re so nervous, though. You know of his reputation and how he was with drugs not too long ago. But he’s so handsome and was so sweet you. You just had to say yes.

So, you’re in a light pink dress with peasant sleeves. Your hair in a ponytail with a light pink bow on it. Light makeup adorned your face. You had some pearl jewelry and white kitten heels. As you stood in front of the hotel room mirror making sure everything looked good when you got a knock on the door.

You sighed before shoving your nerves down and opening the door. Tommy stood before you with a grin on his face and flowers in his hand.

“Wow, you look…” he trailed off taking in your whole outfit.

You blushed, “Thanks.”

“Oh!” He said suddenly, jerking the flowers towards you, “I got you these. Wasn’t sure what your preferences on flowers were but thought I’d get ‘em anyways.” You took the bouquet from him and brought them to your nose, sniffing them.

“They’re beautiful Tommy.” You gushed before walking over and setting them on the nightstand. You’ll have to find a way to travel with them without them dying.

Then, the two of you were off on your first date. He took you to this very nice restaurant in Hollywood. Despite you having quite a bit of money yourself, it was way more fancy than you’ve ever been to.

The waiter showed you to your table and the questions began.

“So, I noticed you’re in a hotel…is your house getting renovated or something?” The drummer asked.

“Oh no. I live in Nashville but since I did a few shows here I stayed in a hotel.” You explained the most obvious reason why you were in a hotel.

“Nashville huh? So you’re a real country girl.”

You chuckled, “I guess you can say that. I’ve lived there my whole life. It’s my home yknow?”

“Yeah I can see that.”

It was quiet for a moment before you spoke up again, “So what’s going on with the band right now? I heard you guys laid off Vince?” It was a touchy subject sure, but you really wanted to know what the hell they were thinking when they fired the singer.

“Yeah, but it’s all cool cause we got a new guy, John Corabi. It’s better that way.” And he left it at that.

The two of you talked more and more, all throughout the night. You just couldn’t stop asking about each other.

As Tommy walked you out towards his Ferrari you said, “That was one of the most fun dates I’ve had in a long time.”

“Really?” He looked down at you and raised an eyebrow.

You leaned your head against his shoulder, “Yeah.”

“I’m glad then. I guess I held up to your standards?”

“Haha, yeah. I mean it’s not like I have any to begin with but you’re so respectful and sweet. Not to offend you but you’re a lot different than-“

“The media makes me out to be? Yeah. When I find a girl I really like I make sure to treat her as a queen.” Your stomach fluttered with butterflies.

The two of you got in his car and he turned on the radio but turned down the volume so you could still talk.

“I don’t believe I’ve asked you this but how old are you?” He asked.

“23.” You answered honestly.

“Ok, I’m 31. Was just making sure.”

“I thought you liked younger girls?” You teased.

“I do well- not under 18 girls you know…over 18? Fuck.”

You giggled as he tried to explain himself, “It’s fine. You know my mama told me not to go with older men better yet men in rock n roll bands but, you’re just so…different.” Tommy smiled at your southern accent.

“I’m not the best man in the world, I’ve done some pretty fucked up shit. Maybe not as much as Nikki but…” the drummer trailed off.

You put your hand over his that was sitting on the center console. He looked over at you with those brown eyes. “We’re human, we all do things we regret. That’s just how life works. Imagine if we didn’t do anything wrong, that’d be really boring and no lessons would be learned.”

“I see why you have an award for best songwriting.”

“Yeah, I guess Im somewhat of a poet myself.”

I have a feeling once the Your Friend Logan documentary comes out, the total number of Logan Whitehurst fans will increase from 3 to at least like 4 or 5 once Weird Al and/or Neil Cicierega casually mention the fact they were interviewed in it, causing their fans go to check it out.

I've just finished reading all of the theological essays under my post about Crowley being comforted by his story being written by a human writer who loves him and I have to say, you guys are all very interesting.

Some of you see the God in Good Omens to be separate from God in Real Life. Some of you think it's the same person. Some of you think that God isn't a person. Some of you think that it doesn't matter if God is a person. Some of you think Good Omens God (separate from Real God) can't be good or bad. Some of you think we can't know if Good Omens God is good or bad. Some of you think Real Life God can't be good or bad. Some of you think it doesn't matter if Real Life God (same as Good Omens God) is good or bad. Some of you wonder why everyone else is even asking these questions when we should be focusing on whether we ourselves are good people.

What an interesting fandom this is...

Album Review: Joni Mitchell - Joni Mitchell Archives, Vol. 3: The Asylum Years (1972-1975)

The six hours of music contained in Joni Mitchell Archives, Vol. 3: The Asylum Years (1972-1975) is the sound of Mitchell morphing from a folkie from the 1960s to a jazzer of the 1970s.

Comprising demos, studio outtakes, live recordings, alternate mixes and more, the sprawling set is one of those rare collections of ephemera that is eminently listenable straight through and is destined to remain so for decades to come.

Covering the years that produced For the Roses, Court & Spark and the Hissing of Summer Lawns, the box set presents Mitchell clowning with James Taylor in the studio on a medley of “Bony Moronie,” “Summertime Blues” and “You Never Can Tell;” singing “The Circle Game” on stage with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young; laying down an early version of “You Turn Me On, I’m a Radio” backed by Neil Young and the Stray Gators; and promoting Court & Spark during a full gig March 3, 1974, backed by Tom Scott & the LA Express.

On stage, Mitchell is an alluring host, telling stories, introducing and explaining songs and laughing like someone who’s happy to be doing what she’s doing. Her between-song levity is a striking counterbalance to the heaviness of the songs themselves and showcases a side of Mitchell that only occasionally manifests in the music.

With 96 tracks in all, titles necessary repeat. But with an artist like Mitchell, that hardly matters. The well-chosen takes give listeners a fascinating sonic peek into the mind of a musical genius as she builds such songs as “Help Me,” “Dreamland,” “Raised on Robbery” and others from sketches into fully formed audio artworks. Meanwhile, the never-released-in-any-format “Like Veils Said Lorraine” is a long-lost companion to “Banquet.”

Getting through the set requires nearly a full-workday commitment. Before it’s all over, Joni Mitchell Archives, Vol. 3 will steal months, perhaps years, from fans.

Hi. It's the person that dated Russell. I have another cute anecdote to torture you with. One time we were walking around together and somehow we got on the topic of singers I didn't like, and I mentioned my distaste for Neil Young. He proceeded to sing "Old Man" at me while I begged him to stop. That's one of my favorite memories of him oddly enough. He's very playful. Hope you have a nice day and enjoy the Russ anecdote.

hi thank you again this is fascinating
