Abbott and nurse Agnes

I'm not sure it comes across, but Agnes very fancy garb is supposed to look like a black wedding dress. It was inspired by the fact that Peter Lorre and his first wife were married while he was still in the Abbott garb and makeup, which I find very neat

[camellia-salazar]

Welcome back to me being glad to see people react to my favorite shows. ✨

(also some updates for my blog and such)

Screenshot I took yesterday:

Screenshot I took today:

I know they posted yesterday but I was too busy cleaning my room, then afterwards I passed out.

I'll be able to see two of them, hopefully all three but I'm holding out until I get to eat hotdogs for the EEnE reaction. That episode especially got me craving hotdogs.

More, updates and such:

Also this was CeeAyeJay's video thumbnail before he changed it.

I'll admit I didn't remember what episode was after Trigger so I searched for the show on yt to find out and I didn't know it was the episode "Dumb". Glad he changed it to fit the episode.

Oh and my dad, mom, sister and I were watching Centaurworld and we are on the finale so we're gonna go to the store to get some snacks for it and such (not to mention hotdogs as I requested to my mom). I've seen Centaurworld before them so I can't wait to know how they feel about it.

I even played Kindergarten and now I'm on Kindergarten 2. Can't wait to play more of that game.

Also I'll most likely post fan art either in the middle of or towards the end of the months from now on. I've gotten a ton of ideas to draw for this month and I've only drew one thing, I feel like it'll be easier to post either in the middle or at the end of each month. Hope that's ok. Y'all probably don't mind but I'm still gonna say this.

Man how I love seeing people react to the shows I like. Special interest being watched by other people and you getting to know how they feel about it is great, isn't it? But anyway can't wait to see it all! Good day! 🌟✨👋

Special Nurse by Lucy Agnes Hancock

M*A*S*H: "Officers Only"

[angelamontoo]

Abbott and Nurse Agnes from The man who knew too much

I wouldn't say I like these too together as much as the other entries in this series, but I know they have a few shippers and considering what a rarepair this is, I felt obliged from the start to draw some art of these guys being all romantic together

[turntheotherpurf]

Agnes Sculptham maybe? (For the HC thing)

1: Sexuality headcanon = Bi, which seems pretty much canon given some of the leaked S4 episode scripts?

2: Otp = Her x Mary Plotwhist sound like they would've been a sweet pair, bonding over helping Agnes moving on from her trauma & potentially raising a future family together🙏

3: Brotp = Hmm... I feel like it'd be interesting to see how her and Miss Censordoll would interact (like w/ Agnes being that one dry, sardonic "straight man" to Censordoll's dramatic underhanded-ness? Idk lol)

4: Notp = ...Do I even need to say it? *points to Cecil Creepler* >>

5: First headcanon that pops into my head = Hm... for some reason I feel like she'd be into pottery as a hobby (though with her workload as a teacher, she hasn't found much time to explore it more)

6: Favorite line from this character = Dunno if this really 'counts' as a line... but her whole performance during "Alone" was nothing short of captivating (even without her speaking a single word)...

7: One way in which I relate to this character = ...Um, I guess I can share a bit of her snarky humor when pushed, though other than that idk? ^^;

8: Thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character = Her whole performance in the "Courtship" ep was just... yeaaaaah 😬😬

9: Cinnamon roll or problematic fave? = Hm... probably something of a "neutral" fave, when it all comes down to it?

The episode that resulted in Moral Orel's cancellation.

(This is one of seventeen explanations for the Moral Orel Iceberg.)

Alone

Any chance of Dino extending the show beyond its unintended three seasons were destroyed when Adult Swim executives saw an early draft of the episode "Alone", which is the most dark and disturbing episode of the series, upon which the show was promptly cancelled and the season was cut in half from 20 episodes to 13.

Most fans believe Nurse Bendy's mental breakdown caused Moral Orel's cancellation in Alone. However, it was the bloody coat hanger scene in which Agnes Sculptham appeared.

[captainfantasticalright]

In 1985, one of the only persons interested in an interview with a “new” writer called Terry Pratchett, after his publication of the Colour of Magic, was one Neil Gaiman. Neil Gaiman was writing for Space Voyager at the time. "The Colour of Pratchett" was the name given here:

It ran exactly one page inside the June/July issue of that year. The interview took place in a Chinese restaurant in London.

Here is Neil many years later holding that issue. You can see it here if you want. Warning: extremely emotional video.

Neil arrived wearing a grey homburg hat. “Sort of like the ones Humphrey Bogart wears in movies” he later wrote. (Before saying that in fact he did not look like him, but like someone wearing a grown-up’s hat). Terry Pratchett, photo courtesy of one @neil-gaiman, was in a Lenin-style leather cap and a harlequin-patterned pullover. At this point, Terry was already a hat person, although not that hat.

Terry offered Neil this : "An interview needn't last more than 15 minutes. A good quote for the beginning, a good quote for the end, and the rest you make up back at the office"*. (Terry Pratchett had worked many years in journalism by this point ).

But the meeting went terribly well. The two of them realized they had "the same sort of brains". So well indeed, that in 1985, Neil had shown Terry a file containing 5282 words, exploring a scenario in which Richmal Crompton's William Brown had somehow become the Antichrist. Was a collaboration in the cards as of that moment? Not really. But Terry found in Neil someone to whom he could send disks of work in progress and to whom he could pick up the phone sometimes when he hit a brick in the road of his writing.

Terry loved it and the concept stayed in his mind. A couple of years later, he rang Neil to ask him if he had done any more work on it. Neil had been busy with The Sandman, he had not really given it another thought. Terry said, "Well I know what happens next, so either you sell me the idea or we can write it together". **

On collaborating together:

Here is a video of Sir Terry saying why he chose to collaborate with Neil, another video talking about the technical difficulties of writing a book when the two of them where miles apart ,and some pages from Interzone Magazine Issue 207 published December 2006:

An Interview with Sir Terry Pratchett and his works- and Neil Gaiman, where he shortly addresses the process of writing Good Omens.

Terry shortly mentions,

“Neil doesn't rule out another book with me and he was good to write with...yep, it could happen. With anyone else? I don't know, but probably not.?”

Neil says,

"Terry took that initial 5,000 words of mine and ran it through the computer (because I’d lost the files in a computer crash) and made it the first 10,000 words, and it was definitely Good Omens at that point. Neither one thing nor the other, but a third thing.”

"I think Terry could do a very good impersonation of me if he needed to, and I could do a very good impersonation of him; so we knew the area of the Venn diagram in which we were working. But mostly the book found its own voice very quickly. It helped that we were both scarred by the William books when we were kids...”

And as you know, unless you’ve been living in Alpha Centauri, the rest is history. That was the beginning of what would become William the Antichrist and later would get the name Good Omens:The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch. (Title provided by Neil Gaiman and subtitle by Terry Pratchett).

More about the writing process:

Terry took the first 5,000 words and typed them into his word processor, and by the time he had finished they were the first 10,000 words. Terry had borrowed all the things about me that he thought were amusing, like my tendency back then to wear sunglasses even when it wasn't sunny, and given them, along with a vintage Bentley, to Crawleigh, who had now become Crowley. The Satanic Nurses were Satanic Nuns.

The book was under way.

We wrote the first draft in about nine weeks. Nine weeks of gloriously long phone calls, in which we would read each other what we'd written, and try to make the other one laugh. We'd plot, delightedly, and then hurry off the phone, determined to get to the next good bit before the other one could. We'd rewrite each other, footnote each other's pages, sometimes even footnote each other's footnotes. We would throw characters in, hand them off when we got stuck. We finished the book and decided we would only tell people a little about the writing process - we would tell them that Agnes Nutter was Terry's, and the Four Horsemen (and the Other Four Motorcyclists) were mine.

From the introduction to William the Antichrist:

“In the summer of 1987 several odd ideas came together: (..)I found myself imagining a book called William the Antichrist, in which a hapless demon was going to be responsible for swapping the wrong baby over, and the son of the US Ambassador would be completely undemonic, while William Brown would grow up to be the Antichrist, and the demon would need to stop him ending the world. The unfortunate demon, whom I called Crawleigh, because Crawley was a nearby town with an unfortunate name, would have to sort it all out as best he could.

It felt like a story with legs.

Terry took the 5,000 words, and rewrote them, calling me to tell me what he was doing and what he was planning to do. The biggest thing he was going to do, he told me, was split the hapless demon into two characters – a would-be-cool demon in dark glasses (which was, I think, Terry’s way of making fun of me, a never-actually- cool journalist in dark glasses) who had renamed himself Crowley, and a rare-book dealer and angel called Aziraphale, who would embody all the English awkwardness that either of us could conceive.”

William the Antichrist being a direct inspiration of the 1976 film The Omen. If the baby swap had just been a little bit messier and the kid had gone off somewhere else he would have grown up as somebody else. “And then there was a beat and I thought, I should write it, it will be called William the Antichrist” says Neil. ***

“The first draft of Good Omens was a William-book. It was absolutely in every way it could be a William book. It had Violet Elizabeth Bott, it had William and the Outlaws, it had Mr. Brown”.

Over time they realized that they would have more creative freedom if they in their own words filed off the serial numbers. William and the Outlaws becoming Adam and the Them.

But the spirit of Just William was never far away.

The joy for Neil was to construct “perfectly William sentences”. The one when Anathema tells Adam that she has lost the Book, and he tells her that he has written a book about a pirate who became a famous detective and it is 8 pages long… that’s “a William sentence”.

If you want to read more details about William The Antichrist, here are some slides I made.

Good Omens was also inspired by a particularly antisemitic moment in The Jew of Malta and John le Carre's spy novels. (Neil’s ask)

 Then I was reading The Jew of Malta by Kit Marlowe, and it has a bit where the three (cartoonishly evil) Jews compare notes on all the well-poisoning and suchlike they’d done that day, and as a Jew who never quite gets his act together, it occurred to me that if I were the third Jew I’d just be apologizing for having failed to poison a well… And suddenly I had the opening of a book. It would be called William the Antichrist. And it would begin with three Demons in a graveyard… (x).

“When we finished the book we estimated that the words were 60% Terry’s and 40% mine, and the plot, such as it was, was entirely ours.” -Neil Gaiman

"Neil and I had known each other since early 1985. Doing it was our idea, not a publisher's deal." "I think this is an honest account of the process of writing Good Omens. It was fairly easy to keep track of because of the way we sent discs to one another, and because I was Keeper of the Official Master Copy I can say that I wrote a bit over two thirds of Good Omens. However, we were on the phone to each other every day, at least once. If you have an idea during a brainstorming session with another guy, whose idea is it? One guy goes and writes 2,000 words after thirty minutes on the phone, what exactly is the process that's happening? I did most of the physical writing because: 1) I had to. Neil had to keep Sandman going -- I could take time off from the DW; 2) One person has to be overall editor, and do all the stitching and filling and slicing and, as I've said before, it was me by agreement -- if it had been a graphic novel, it would have been Neil taking the chair for exactly the same reasons it was me for a novel; 3) I'm a selfish bastard and tried to write ahead to get to the good bits before Neil. Initially, I did most of Adam and the Them and Neil did most of the Four Horsemen, and everything else kind of got done by whoever -- by the end, large sections were being done by a composite creature called Terryandneil, whoever was actually hitting the keys. By agreement, I am allowed to say that Agnes Nutter, her life and death, was completely and utterly mine. And Neil proudly claims responsibility for the maggots. Neil's had a major influence on the opening scenes, me on the ending. In the end, it was this book done by two guys, who shared the money equally and did it for fun and wouldn't do it again for a big clock." "Yes, the maggot reversal was by me, with a gun to Neil's head (although he understood the reasons, it's just that he likes maggots). There couldn't be blood on Adam's hands, even blood spilled by third parties. No-one should die because he was alive." -("Terry Pratchett : His World”)

(Here are some slides of mine where I go into some other details concerning the origins of Good Omens).
