i very rarely get uppity about my interests, but there really is a difference between enjoying lore olympus, pjo, hadestown, epic, the song of achilles, hades game, etc., and actually enjoying greek myth.
#charlie.txt#like what you like! but dont tell me youre into greek myth when what you mean is that you have rick riordan on your shelf#its also not mutually exclusive for the record#i actually like or have liked everything ive listed#(except hadestown ive never actually listened to that)#but come on!#not even a documentary?#please read smth like hippolytus. or lysistrata. or the orestia. or the baccae. or the histories. or the iliad. or the odyssey.#love an adaptation#esp a good one#/ looks at lore olympus / NOT you.#but pleaaaaase read the source material#bc thats how we get ppl who are really into. idk. dark olympus. telling you not to read og greek myth bc there's stuff like incest and dying#in it.

Back at it with my enchanted merthur shenanigans
#when Merlin goes to work#(I am undecided on what he does but I think he does have a job (probably a librarian I’d that’s not TOO cliche…))#he sets Arthur up with a bunch of history books and documentaries to try get him up to date (as much as he can)#and in the evenings they watch all Merlin’s favourite tv shows and movies#I can’t pick what kinds of movies Merlin and Arthur like#I get the feeling they both like pride and prejudice but I’m also biased#I think Arthur would like murder mysteries#ALSO If anyone’s got any fics where Merlin introduces Arthur to modern society please please PLEASE GIVE THEM TO ME#my art#bbc merlin#merlin#merlin emrys#arthur pendragon#merthur

In the what we do in the shadows ending (alternate version 2) at one point Armand will randomly spawn and instead of canon nandermo we'll have canon armandermo as foreshadowed in episode 1x01

There was a transformers and x files crossover where Optimus Prime and Bumblebee had to go rescue Ratchet from some humans, and then while they were driving away it looked like a shot where they freed and reunited a family of dolphins or something.
So I was thinking what if a really young trio of Orion, Ratchet, and Bumblebee was stranded on earth and they couldn’t communicate with the humans for some reason, the rumors would be so juicy.
Yes the bots understand the humans, they can’t correct anything though lmao
Optiratch aren’t married or dating (yet)
Bumblebee is like a 10 year old tagging along for some college kids project that went horribly wrong and not their son that’s going through a bright colored phase
Ratchet and Orion are both mechs, but 90s heteronormative assumptions are pretty strong
Their noises are like, Pokémon game and not Pokémon anime, maybe I’ll make some examples later
#I haven’t posted optiratch in a week dw I’m still drawing them it’s just super self indulgent stuff#I gave Ratchet antennas cause I think having them emote with antennas is fun#i say they’re not dating but even back on cybertron people think they’re dating#robot nature documentary AU#yep that’s what I’m calling it#literally no one asked for this but I’m doing it anyways#transformers#ratchet#optimus prime#bumbleebee#transformers fanart

Rhod Gilbert: A Pain in the Neck for SU2C (2023)
bonus:
#greg davies#rhod gilbert#britcom#british tv#british comedy#again this documentary is far from comedic (though there are some funny bits in it because of either context or how rhod deals with it)#but it's a britcom personality so it feels appropriate to tag it with that#also i know the above joke is quite out there#but in the context of this it's quite... sweet#because clearly it's a loaded evening for rhod and he's nervous and grateful that he's still there and there's a lot of Emotions in the air#and greg knows his friend well enough to know exactly what type of joke cracks through that weird tension and makes rhod genuinely laugh :)#gilles gifs

my old roommate who i share a blunt with in the garden sometimes loves to test how much of a sicko i am it's his favorite thing. any time we're hanging out he's like oh Hey i found this really nasty thing online that i bet you'll be into. and then he watches my reaction like i'm a gross bug he's poking with a stick. people will say they want to study you but this guy is actually out there living the dream.
#🐉#i walked into the kitchen for a snack just now and he was watching a documentary about some war and he was like#i bet if you were filming this youd get up close to the bodies and touch them with your bare hands and stuff#and i was like yeah probably and his eyes lit up with delight even while he made disgusted faces at me

In honor of my parents’ 48th wedding anniversary and a poll I just saw that asked if people’s parents had a “problematic” relationship, I would like to summarize the assets my father brought to their relationship at the age of 25 in 1976:
1 ex-wife whom he wasn’t technically divorced from because he was embarrassed about getting divorced and so kept putting it off
1 six year old son
1 bachelors degree in African History from the University of Texas
7 golden retrievers, six of which are puppies
$0 in his trust fund because he had spent the entire thing on heroin.
2 pairs of cowboy boots, 1 cowboy hat and 1 Yosemite Sam mustache
And they’ve been married for 48 years and throughout my childhood all of my extended family had a golden retriever who was the mother/sister/daughter to the other golden retrievers. This is the opposite of a life lesson.

The absolute lowest caliber of nature documentaries are the ones that are like, styled as tournaments debating which 'scary' animals would win in a fight. I kind of love them. They're always like:
NATURE'S BADDEST
Narrator who perpetually sounds like he's in a nerf gun commercial: THE RHINOCEROS IS UP TO 3000 POUNDS OF SHEER MUSCLE AND ANGER. THEY CAN CHARGE AT OVER THIRTY MILES AN HOUR, ENOUGH TO TRAMPLE ANYTHING UNLUCKY ENOUGH TO BE IN THEIR WARPATH.
[footage of a rhino charging] [footage of a rhino tossing its horns]
Interview clip of whatever actual biologist they got for this: Yeah you probably could not outrun a rhino.
Narrator: YOU CAN'T RUN......AND YOU CAN'T HIDE.
[footage of a rhino chasing a dude] [footage of a rhino chasing a lion]
Interview clip of a guy who got attacked by a rhino once: I was attacked by a rhino once.
[shaky reenactment footage showing closeups of an actor screaming and flailing in some bushes, presumably from rhino POV]
Narrator: IS NOTHING SAFE FROM THESE BOISTEROUS BADDIES?
Interview clip of whatever actual biologist they got for this: Most species of rhino are threatened, and a few species are critically endangered and very close to extinction. They're subject to a lot of pressure from poaching and habitat loss.
Narrator (momentarily kind of solemn): IT SEEMS EVEN THIS UNRULY UNGULATE CAN'T STAND UP TO EVERYTHING LIFE THROWS AT IT..........
.....EXCEPT PERHAPS... A CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[footage of a rhino flipping over a car]
[same footage of a rhino flipping over a car in slow motion] [car crash sfx] [screaming sfx] [guitar riff] [inexplicable bear roar sfx]
Narrator: THIS TON AND A HALF MASS OF MUSCLE, HORN, AND FURY MAY BE BAD... BUT HOW DOES IT FARE AGAINST OUR NEXT CONTENDER... THE TARANTULA?!!
[footage of an utterly harmless spider set to scary music]
#Second lowest caliber are ones that just plaster wholly invented anthropomorphized stories onto footage of random animals#just doing their thing. Often VERY obviously not doing what is being described.#Like most nature documentaries manipulate footage or stage events to some extent but good ones generally do it in service of like.#Representing actual behaviors that really do occur.#Wtahcing 'Serengeti II' on HBO and getting pissed the fuck off#Like even when these shows disclose that they're purely fictionalized it's like. If I wanted to watch footage of actual animals#poorly stapled to some anthropomorphized storyline I might as well just watch the fucking CGI lion king#Like bridge the gap entirely

Phagenda predictions
Realistic:
- Joint memoir
- Merch
- Feature length video project (could be fiction, could be non-fiction)
- Podcast
Unrealistic:
- Tour (not enough planning time)
- Re-brand (this much hype for something like that is not like them)
- A Dan and Phil Sims pack (lowkey could realistically be this but feels wild to actually put it in that category)
- Video series about what it's been like behind the scenes all this time/the reality of what it's like to be some of the first youtubers to go mainstream (while closeted).
- Wedding anouncement/video
Demon:
- V-day vid reaction
- The Vegas video
#yes i am massivly projecting with the video series one#it is something i have wanted for years#not even as an invasive fan but just as a piece of queer history#a documentary actual first hand accounts of that time would be SUCH a gift#i am not kidding#phan#dnp#dan and phil#dan howell#phil lester#the phagenda#the vegas video#phan predictions#RUD#yapping

something about childhood in succession.. the way it casts its shadow over the entire narrative, the rotten root of the roy siblings’s pain, all wrapped up in Logan’s power and abuse and love. The opening credits are filled with images of them as kids, beginning every. single. episode. by emphasizing the importance of their childhood: the siblings posing for a photo, playing sports, standing on a manicured lawn, riding an elephant, etc. and then the shots of logan, in which he is always shown from behind, or far away. It is a childhood the viewer never gets to see in any other context, since there are no flashbacks in the show, and therefore as integral as it seems, we know almost nothing about it. What exactly happened? What are the details? We feel its presence, we can tell how it informs their relationships, we can put together the pieces of incomplete and contradictory memories expressed through dialogue, and if we trace their struggles and dysfunction back far enough we know it leads there, to when they were kids. But there is so much empty space we can’t fill in. It’s almost like their childhood is presented in that horror technique where you never get to see the monster clearly straight on. It’s always in darkness, and chopped up into close-ups so that the viewer’s imagination is forced to invent something, however vague, and that is far scarier than it would be if we could actually see it — a monster that is terrifying BECAUSE it’s unknown. The roy siblings’s childhood is a major force behind so much that happens on screen, but what specifically occurred is out of the reach of our understanding. We are shown the monster’s shadow but not the monster, we are shown the frightened faces of the characters as they look at something behind the camera we never get to see, we are shown the running or the fighting or the blood but never the true, bigger-picture, clear details of the horror itself
#sorry succession as horror scratches an itch in my brain and the idea of their childhood makes my brain explode <333#just!! even showing this shaky blurry footage of mundane childhood moments feels ominous to me—#it’s like. a documentary abt something awful that begins with#a ‘before’ montage of seemingly benign family life#and of course when the videos were taken they seemed meaningless. but now looking back at them we can see they mean so much#like the tragedy was woven into them right from the start#eeeeeeeeeee i need to be sedated i think#roy siblings#connor roy#kendall roy#roman roy#shiv roy#logan roy#succession#ruby (unfortunately) watches succession#succession as horror
