Speaking with actor Jason Watkins about my childhood.

When I’d just self-published ‘Poems From a Runaway’ the Charity ‘Missing People’ got in touch. As well as writing a blog for them which I currently can’t find, I spoke with actor Jason Watkins as part of the charity appeal. Please do consider supporting Missing People as often the efforts undertaken behind the scenes to care, protect and reunite people and families can be easily overlooked.…

Alastor: I can give you anything in the world, my dear! Just ask!

Charlie: Can you give me a moment of peace?

Alastor: Okay not everything-

[allastoredeer]

What do you think about the AU where Alastor meets the Devil while he’s still alive? there’s plenty of potential with that 😏

I have a couple of fics saved with that AU!

But otherwise, I haven’t given the AU a lot of thought. It would be fun to explore a dynamic between Lucifer and Alastor if they were to have know each other pre-Alastor death, even more so if Lucifer forgot about Alastor and Alastor very much remembered him.

Lmao it’d bring a whole new context to Alastor’s instant saltiness towards Lucifer. The guy got wham, bam, thank you ma’am-ed and then Lucifer never called him back. The bitterness is so real.

Especially when he realizes Lucifer doesn’t even remember him (or recognize him 👀 due to his deer/demon characteristics). Alastor probably wouldn’t say anything about it, though, he’d just keep needling and insulting Lucifer like a scorned ex-lover, and Lucifer has no idea why but he’s gonna needle and insult him back, even if there’s…something strangely familiar about Alastor…something he can’t quite put his finger on…

FUCK - I literally haven’t considered this AU AT ALL, and now I’m developing a whole fic idea. Anon what have you done 😩

i’m so deep in my timkon bullshit at this point that yesterday i was listening to take me home by one direction and every song i was like “omg this is so timkon” like ma’am please be serious

Was just thinking about how different the rollout for TTPD has been, like how there’s been next to no promo other thank sparing social media and how (at least so far) the only single they’ve pushed is Fortnight and how the records they’re chasing seem to be album focuzed, and it strikes me again how it really was crafted as An Album Experience. It was one story, as messy and chaotic and heartbreaking and euphoric as it was, and it just kinda feels to me like that was the whole point.

She could have started pushing more singles and videos (and who knows, maybe she will) but my guess is that this is how TTPD is going to be left in the record books. She needed to write it and she needed to release it and she thus became this anthology — a collection of works about a period of her life — and it’s kind of standing on its own. It’s just super interesting both creatively and from a business perspective.

So, yesterday, I remembered to glance at current dramas on BBC Sounds again for the first time in a while, and got a huge and wonderful shock on finding this at the top of the SFF category.

It's a 1971 6 part supernatural series starring Martin Jarvis & Patricia Gallimore. I don't think it's ever been repeated since. At least parts of it were missing for a while, and I had no idea whether the rest of it was extant or not. But I liked the sound of it enough that I bought the novelisation, and it was top of my impossible radio listening wishlist.

Yesterday, I got to listen to Part 1, Part 2 should be broadcast later today!

ETA: You can listen to the link regardless of where you are in the world! (UK listeners just get the Sounds app as well if they want it.)

Winnie the Pooh is inspiring Manchester’s kids to read

It's great news from Wood Street Mission and the Books Forever Appeal! Over 8,000 children's books have been donated so far and amongst them are the stories of Winnipeg the Bear -aka the real life Winnie The Pooh- and the Canadian veterinarian Harry D. Colebourn.

I'm positive that books like these will inspire Manchester's young people to read and with more WSM Book Roadshows planned in our city's schools, Wood Street Mission are still in need of brand new or good condition pre-loved books for children and young people.

In 2022, WSM distributed over 20,500 books to disadvantaged young people across Manchester and thanks to support from the public, it's brilliant that each child gets to take home 5 books to keep. Through such acts of kindness, you are helping to overcome barriers that children in low-income families face.

But did you know that donating to Wood Street Mission’s 'Books Forever Appeal’ couldn’t be easier? You can drop off a book in person or have it delivered direct to the Wood Street Mission, 26 Wood Street, Manchester, M3 3EF, The UK.

Wood Street Mission is located next to the John Rylands Library on Deansgate. You can also visit woodstreetmission.org.uk for more information or to make a secure online donation.

It is crazy to me that Alastor was born closer to the VICTORIAN ERA than the modern day.

And god damn it can't you see him eating this fashion UP??????

[piromantic]

hate to play devil's advocate towards myself but i think when it comes to discussions about queer artists and erasure, it's not really fair to compare artists who mainly sing about being queer 1:1 with artists who only mention it in passing (and also artists whose chart hits are about being queer vs artists who sing about it in their albums, but not widely known singles)

i think it's fucked up to act like artists are less queer if they don't bring it up, or if they're bi and mention a variety of relationships, but it feels a bit disingenuous to say 'people forget lady gaga is bi because of bi erasure' when it's like... partially sure, but also i just don't look up personal facts about celebrities because it's not my business unless they mention it in their own songs. if i want songs about the experience of being bi i will probably not start pulling up her albums. love her tho

I'm making a separate post bc I kind of sent myself down a rabbit hole. I wanna clarify that I am a Big Hozier Fan and that most country music is a different lyrical ballpark entirely bc of the nature of the genre. (If I had to describe it I'd say it's more literal and storytelling than the whole, like, in-the-woods poetry thing hozier's got going on.)

Anyway I tried to find some that have the same kind of poetry to them or at least aren't about dirt roads and, like, alcoholism. (this is very hard to do there are so many songs about drowning your sorrows in alcohol. I think maybe that's a bad thing but what do I know about songwriting)

Zach Bryan - Something in the Orange

Ryan Bingham - Wolves

Deana Carter - Strawberry Wine

Chris Stapleton - Tennessee Whiskey

Brooks and Dunn - Neon Moon

Uncle Lucius - Keep The Wolves Away

Juice Newton - Angel of the Morning

Johnny Cash - God's Gonna Cut You Down

The Band Perry - All Your Life

Lee Ann Womack - I Hope You Dance

Josh Turner - Would You Go With Me

I also have a few that I think just have generally clever lyrics that you probably won't enjoy very much if you don't like country music:

Rodney Atkins - If You're Going Through Hell

Sugarland - It Happens

Jessica Andrews - Who I Am

Billy Currington - People are crazy

Blake Shelton - Honeybee

Tim McGraw - Just to See You Smile

The phenomenon of certain radioapple artists drawing Alastor looking like this manly handsome hunk is just ridiculous when in canon he's a feminine looking twink who's thin as hell with a tiny little waist and long legs. It's so painful to me. They're fucking de-twinkifying Alastor and denying him of his girlypop status for their macho top agenda 😭

NOT THE MACHO TOP AGENDA ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ

The denial of his girlypop status is what gets me the most. Why would they take away his sassy wrist flicks? Where's his whimsy? Where's the side of him that called Susan an "ornery old bitch" in the sassiest way possible?

They've stolen his flamboyancy. His trolling nature. His ✨pizzazz✨

I don't like macho Alastor. He scares me (ʘ‿ʘ)
