💌 we still doing these? hi.

the seemingly endless array of meme phrases i have picked up from you and terrible dilfs and twilight

[sokovianfortune]

mervol odd numbers 👀

What originally drew me to it? oh, you're asking me this question taylor? huh? you?

well i'll FUCKING tell you. one day an unnamed, mysterious friend of mine said "hey jemi wandavision would make a great phantom manor au" and promptly sent me spiraling into this hell from which there is no escape. fuck you.

no but fr i wasn't interested in marvel at all until i decided to watch wandavision to try and scratch the phantom manor hyperfixation itch and now i'm here forever.

A character I want to carry around in a little jar and study like a bug loki, obviously. if someone's answer to this isn't loki, i'm concerned about them.

bonus fandom subspecies answers: angry tony stark fans, wanda stans, people who can't let go of endgame, people who are somehow still unfathomably mad about she-hulk

The character who gives me the greatest gender envy i'm cis :pensive: but if i had to answer: sylvie and okoye

A character who feels like home my beloved wamda <3

vision also by proxy

The character I'd most enjoy feeding to a pride of ravenous lions uhhhhh hayward i guess. fuck that guy

A ship that makes me want to look into the camera like I'm on The Office people who ship wanda and stephen i am so sorry but to me they give off the profound energy of a ship that would have a billverly it chapter 2 kiss where they go in for it, linger a sec and then pull back with a mutual ".......yeah i got nothing"

The non-canon pairing I find the most intriguing i was about to say most of my ships are canon but then i remembered jen/monica :) i hope the writer of that one fic knows how much they changed my life

A character/story arc that bores me to tears whatever the fuck was going on with the american government in wakanda forever so they could shoehorn some white people into the story

The line of dialogue I quote most often its past midnight and there is so much mcu please don't make me answer this

Crossovers/AUs that pique my interest one day i will sit down and somehow share the elaborate pacific rim au where wanda and loki have a raleigh and mako arc AND THEN YOU'LL ALL SEE

also like everything we've rped ever. obviously.

Silver Q - (finally!) A one shot from "Hello, My Dear"

“You’re about two hundred years too early to be wearing that outfit,” he drawls, referring to your mid-24thcentury uniform. He lifts an eyebrow. “Or a billion years too late depending on which side of the timeline you’re from. Who are you?” 

“Just me,” you answer simply, raising one shoulder in a shrug. 

He scrutinizes you a second time, growing irritated. You are not a Q, or one of those insufferable, insouciant Travelers. Aside from the El Aurian, you’re as pathetically human as everyone else on this odious planet. Yet somehow you are less-than-human, and more…more. There is an undefinable quality about you that suggests you have been alive far longer than you appear. But stranger still is your undeniably affectionate smile. No one ever looks at him affectionately. And now that it’s happening, he is not entirely sure if he likes it. It means that you know his secrets and where all the skeletons are buried and may have even helped him dispose of one or two. 

You’ve picked up his newspaper and started skimming the headlines, and blink in surprise when he plucks it out of your hands. 

“Answer me,” he barks. “Who. Are. You?”

You musingly tilt your head, mulling over the question. “How did you put it? An adorably harmless angel of death?”

His face twists. He cannot afford the luxury of squandering his powers on putting a maybe-mortal upstart in her place, but pride gets the better of him. Teeth clenched, he snaps his fingers (successfully, this time) and whisks you both to a more secluded area.

I was tagged by @deraingedhawkeye, so here are my 10 comfort shows

#1- Mash. It will always be Mash. Not going to elaborate because 50% of my blog is this.

#2- Gravity Falls. What else can be said about this show?

#3- My Name Is Earl. I'm still crossing my fingers that there will be a reboot in the near future :(

#4- Bob's Burgers. Such a breath of fresh compared to other adults cartoons. I love watching healthy families thrive.

#5- Three's Company. I love and miss John Ritter so much :( he never fails to make me laugh.

#6- The Monkees. Family sitcoms from 40-70 years get on my nerves because of how overly wholesome they are. But the same vibe applied to a group of characters who aren’t family? Sign me up!! The Monkees are also literally the reason why I didn’t kill myself over Covid so…

#7- Futurama. Same reasons as Bob's Burgers.

#8- King of the Hill. I watched the entire show during the summer between my sophomore and junior year of high school. I love this beyond words. Can’t wait for the reboot :)

#9- The Golden Girls. What hasn’t been said about how great this show is??

#10- The Andy Griffith Show. As said above, not a fan of old family sitcoms, but this one is great. The perfect amount of wholesomeness without being overly annoying or cheesy like Leave It to Beaver or The Brady Bunch. I also love Don Knotts.

Honorable mentions because there’s more than 10:

- Gilligan's Island

- Happy Days

- I Dream of Jeannie

- Parks and Rec

- Laverne and Shirley

- That Girl

- The Muppet Show

- Seinfeld

[forthegothicheroine]

who would you cast in a hammer arthuriana film?

My big question here is whether Peter Cushing should be Arthur or Merlin.  He’d have been a good Arthur either in his youthful earnest mode or his older, sadder and wiser mode, but I’ve also mentally cast him as Merlin in Princess of Swords based on his Frankenstein.  (Well, his nicer version of him in Frankenstein Created Woman.)  Whichever character Cushing is, Christopher Lee is the other one, either a grimly determined Arthur or an ancient and eldritch Merlin.

Ralph Bates is Mordred because most of his Hammer characters were good-looking but slimy little weasles.  (Poor guy, it isn’t his fault Horror of Frankenstein was such a shit reboot.)

Sadly, Hammer didn’t often have great roles for women.  Ingrid Pitt is the exception, and while she’d seem obvious for Morgan le Fay, I think I’d actually cast her as the Lady of the Lake, mysterious and morally ambiguous.  Hazel Court proved she could chew up the scenery alongside Vincent Price in the Corman movies, so she can be Morgan.  I guess Veronica Carlson can have a try at Guinevere, if only to give her a better filming experience with Cushing than she got in Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed.

[vortahoney]

what if you were in the wicker man. how do you solve that.

Easy. I’d start by 1. Not being a fucking cop and then 2. Not being a virgin. THEN I wouldn’t be a goddamn wad about the people of summerisle’s religion

[phillipsgraves]

10-15 for janet !!

thank you!!

11 and 13 are answered here!

10. Do they like children? Do children like them? Do they have or want any children? What would they be like as a parent? Or as a godparent/babysitter/ect?

She does! And yes, children like her; Janet’s got this very mother like energy whenever she’s around kida. She’s wanted kids, yes, just never thought she’d have any. She eventually has Sofia with Paulie, and then… two more down the line :/

12. What is their favourite food?

Anything Italian, but especially if it’s Paulie’s cooking. She likes the soup he makes for her whenever she’s sick. It never fails to make her feel better.

14. Do they have any specific memories of food/a restaurant/meal?

Yeah, Paulie proposed to her at a dinner date. Took her to a nice restaurant in the city then did the cliché thing where he asked a waiter to put the ring in a glass of champagne.

15. Are they good at cooking? Do they enjoy it? What do others think of their cooking?

She’s… not bad at it, but she’s not exactly good either. She can feed herself when it comes down to it, but it won’t be anything fancy.

Happy almost-birthday, "Hello, My Dear!" Here's a snippet from the next one-shot...

He angrily knifes his gaze into yours, but instead of looming before you, tall, dark, and terrible, he is the one who begins to drown. Your eyes – your familiar, guileless eyes – bathe him in a warmth he’s not felt since…

The blood drains from his face, leaving his skin the colour of chalk. 

“You,” he gasps. “It’s – it’s you. But – I lost you.” He falters, suddenly doubting the countless millennia spent trying to forget. “Didn’t I?”

Your smile is as sweet as he remembers -- and he remembers. The sight of you, you, not merely a fever dream that he has long since buried away, tips his memories violently on end and flings him back to the night he had left you behind.

Thanks for the tag @thebreakfastgenie !

Name: Jillian and I’m called Jill by my family, but I hate it. I considered changing it at one point, but I’ll probably think of a new nickname instead because legally changing your name when you’re not married is so much work (you can Lee, Lia/Leah, and even Annie from Jillian so maybe I’ll go by one of those)

Pronouns: she/her

Where do you call home?: I was born and raised in Chicago and I (unfortunately) still live here

favorite animal: call me a basic bitch but horses (I swear I’m not a horse girl)

cereal of choice: I don’t really eat cereal, but does anyone remember Waffle Crisps??? I think it was discontinued but omg it was my favorite as a kid

visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learner: a mix of visual and kinesthetic, which I guess is basically Montessori (copying what other people do)

first pet: a blue bird named Sam I Am named after the guy from Green Eggs and Ham (I picked the name when I was 4 lol). I can’t remember what kind of bird he was, but it was probably a canary or finch

favorite scent: I really like the smell of gasoline for some reason

do you believe in astrology: nope, but I’ll admit that those “which fictional character from this movie are you based off your zodiac sign” articles are quite fun to scroll through and a guilt pleasure of mine

how many playlists do you have on your music service of choice: 3 (stuff I plan to listen to for the first time, one I made as my friend’s Christmas, and the main one I listen to)

sharpies or highlighters: highlighters

song that makes you cry: You and Me Against the World by Helen Reddy

song that makes you happy: You May Be Right by Billy Joel

and finally, do you write/draw/create: I’m a writer (well, I try to be lol). I’m not an artist but I wish I was

thoughts on final girls!

Long time lover of the book Men Women and Chainsaws, I’ve had a soft spot in my heart for final girls since I first read it!  I think they’re often more complicated than they’re given credit for (the ‘don’t have sex and don’t do drugs’ rules are often broken), but I also think it should be understood that their existence alone doesn’t make a work feminist.  If I were in charge of all horror movies (I wish!) I would love to see more final girls who veer off the beaten track a bit, not just in regards to ‘purity’ but in being just plain weird.  I would also like to see multiple heroines in one movie, and heck, more female horror movie villains whose thing isn’t being femmes fatale.

Computer, What Are the Dimensions of an Average-Sized Sheet Cake? - A new one shot from "Hello, My Dear"

“Why do you want to come to Captain Picard Day?” you asked curiously. “It’s not going to be very exciting, just the kids giving him a few presents, and then cake and ice cream.”

Q spun his chair to face you and crossed one lanky leg over the other, smirking. “So what you’re saying is that there’s oodles of opportunity to liven things up.” 

“Yeah,” you admitted. “And I’m sure you’ve got plenty of bright ideas.”

“Always,” he boastfully declared, “but I fail to see any merit in gilding the lily with my genius when the flower in question is nothing more than a garden variety weed. I do have an offer, however.”

A chef’s hat appeared on top of his head, perched at a rakish angle.

“Let me bake the cake.”

The smile immediately dropped from your face.

“No.” You adamantly shook your head, already envisioning a hundred different disasters scenarios. His definition of ‘cake’ could span anything from stale petit fours to a gagh trifle the size of a planet. 

“Why not?” he protested.

“Because I don’t trust you to not do anything weird!” you exclaimed. “And Commander Data is making the cake anyway, so it doesn’t matter.”

“Is it a crime to have two cakes at a party?”

“No, but –”

“Oh, Ensign, give me a chance,” he coaxed, putting on his sincerest face. The hat disappeared, and he swept forward from his chair and onto one knee before you, obsequiously gathering your hands into his. “I’ll be good. Truly I will. Please?”

I Haven't the Vaguest Idea What You're Talking About - another Hello, My Dear one-shot

I Haven't the Vaguest Idea What You're Talking About

He was on his way to pay 1994 a visit when he decided to take a brief detour and drop by the Enterprise. (To check on the frogs, not you). If he happened to run into you in the process, so be it – he was ready to resume closing arguments whenever you were.

He had not, however, been ready to find Reginald Barclay queasily depositing crickets into the terrarium upon his arrival.

Several minutes were spent in furious contemplation from inside your lava lamp.

One, how did Barclay have access to your quarters?

Two, why was he feeding your frogs?

Three, what were the odds of you not figuring out who had turned him into an Altarian dung beetle?

Poor, he concluded, watching Barclay’s tiny legs frantically peddle the air in a desperate attempt to flip himself back over. The odds were very, very poor.

Scowling, he had restored the holodeck sycophant back into bipedal form, deposited him on the doorstep of Engineering for Geordi LaForge to deal with and went straight to back to where he'd left you.

Happy birthday, 'Hello, My Dear!'

That Was the Sound of Me Developing an Inferiority Complex

“Yes, yes, yes; your singular logic is as brilliant as usual, Jean-Luc," Q said impatiently. "Contrary to popular belief, however, I am not the most dangerous thing on this ship. I’m not the most dangerous thing on this side of the quadrant. Or in the Continuum, even.”

“Captain,” Lieutenant Worf rumbled. “Permission to locate this ‘dangerous thing?’”

“Thank you, Mr. Worf; that will not be necessary,” Captain Picard stiffly replied. It wasn’t much of a secret that the ship’s Chief of Security would readily forgo a return trip from Sto’vol’kor if it meant getting the one-up on Q.

“Well, lucky for him, he doesn’t have to look very far,” Q simpered. “In fact, I’ll even give him a hint.” He flashed out of sight and reappeared next to Worf, one arm casually draped over the Klingon’s massive shoulders, and dropped his voice to a whisper. “That ‘dangerous thing’ is hiding in plain sight. Right...over...there.”

The blood drained from your face as he grandly swept his other arm in your direction, as though presenting you to the crowd.

“Huh?” you squeaked, horrified.

They were all too busy being shocked at Q’s outrageous assertion to notice as Worf shoved him into a bulkhead, but no one in the room was as baffled as you – or angry. He knew you despised being the center of attention, and cornering him for an explanation now risked making an even bigger spectacle of yourself. He was never more absurdly over-the-top than when he was trying to wheedle his way back into your good graces, and this was enough of a recipe for disaster all on its own without him finding an excuse to moonlight as a Capuchin monk.

Another "Hello, My Dear" one-shot because the SL plot gremlins can f*ck right off.

Do I Always Have to Have a Reason To Stop By?

“Can I see you outside, sir?” you asked between gritted teeth.

“Certainly.” Q extended his hand to help you up, but you ignored him and climbed back to your feet, wiping your bleeding palm on knee as you went.

Stalwartly ignoring the multitude of looks that followed you both to the exit, you stormed out and began hauling him down the hall the moment you confirmed the coast was clear. He obligingly permitted you to tow him along by his sleeve and made no protest when you shoved him into the first empty room you found.

“Hello again,” he said pleasantly, transforming into his usual appearance as the door slid shut. He glanced around, taking in the pint-sized furniture and cheerful, brightly colored drawings adorning the walls. “Well, isn’t this…quaint.”

You had ended up in one of the primary grade classrooms, but the thought of explaining the concept of preschool to Q was the least of your concerns.

Seeing him again had sucked every rational thought from your head. The instant he had vanished away that day in the turbolift, you knew he was going to be back. But that was as far as you had permitted your imagination to take you. You hadn’t given any consideration about time or place or circumstance, or how best to greet the omnipotent entity whose eye you had most decidedly caught.

What’s new?

Long time, no see?

Hey-howdy-hey?

“ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?!”
