Rex Murphy is dead, so now all of the Canadian media is once again memorializing him as some kind of beloved national icon and not as a mean-spirited reactionary bigot who spent the last decades of his life laundering climate denialism under the pay of oil corporations.

Rex Murphy 1947-2024.

Filed his last column on Monday. Dead just a few days later. One of Canada's finest newspaper columnists til the end. Love that.

Pierre Poilievre for Prime Minister

Since Pierre Poilievre won the Conservative leadership race last year, he is proving he would make a great Prime Minister here in Canada. Actually, long before he won the leadership race. For five years prior, Poilievre served within the Conservative government (opposition) as the shadow minister for finance. In this role, he quickly became known for his bulldog-like perseverance in attempting to…

Transcript:

Emily: If you want to honor the person's suggestion, you could at least be like, "Okay, what if-- you want kind of like a mysterious historic sword" but instead I-- “I bought it from a store.” [Caldwell and Jake laugh] Murph: Yeah. Like-- Like typically you should "yes, and"-- Emily: It came in a two for one deal. Caldwell: Yeah, I went to Sword Torpic. Murph: You should "yes, and" this stuff, but you can also "no, but" it. Caldwell: Mhm Jake: Right. Murph: Like thi-- may be not as known amongst people that like, haven't done any kind of improv, or whatever, but if you're not gonna do "yes, and"-- if you're gonna say "no," you have to say "no, but." You have to add something new. Caldwell: Yeah. Emily: Aw, I didn't know that this is a rule. Murph, surprised: You're like the improv person! Emily: Yeah I don't think anyone ever talked about that. Caldwell: No ifs yes ands nor buts! [Emily and Jake laugh] Murph: Well I-- Then maybe it's not an improv thing, maybe it's more of a wri-- Emily: I think you made it up. I think you made it up. Murph: (laughs) I absolutely didn't make it up! Emily: I think you created it! Murph, insistent: "No, but" is real! Jake: I've heard it before, but now that I think about it I've only heard it from Murph. Murph: (laughs) God damn it! It's not me! Emily: Yeah! You know Murph, you are a creator! Caldwell: Murph-- Murph: Maybe it's a wri-- Maybe it's writing advice from somebody? Maybe it's not improv. Emily: This is the new Murphy's law! Murph: This is not my law! [Caldwell and Jake laugh. Emily joins them.] Caldwell: Changing it out! Murph: This is absolutely not my law. This is not my advice. This is me channeling someone else's advice. If you're-- [Emily laughing in the background.] Jake: Mhm. And what was the other thing you said? That dolphins have weapons? Murph: God damn it. If you are going to say "no," you should give another suggestion.

Last Line Tag Game

Thanks for tagging me @teejaystumbles ! A really nice surprise!! :D I am indeed contemplating writing two Dead Boy Detectives fic right now, but they're both in the very early 'being-outlined-in-my-head' stage, haha. They both revolve around post-s1 Edwin pining for Charles, one where Edwin takes matters into his own hands and one where he decides to have a chat with the Cat King about it. Not sure if they'll ever be written but they're intriguing!

But for the sake of the tag game, here's a lengthy bit from a Dreamling wip I've slowly been chipping away at for a few months!

A scene from Every Little Thing (Working Title)— In which Morpheus is a figure drawing professor who has just been fired from a film production based on his comics, and Hob does part-time figure modeling and is determined befriend the aforementioned professor.

Morpheus picks his class schedules wisely— he runs two first year general figure drawing classes, at 8 a.m. and at noon on Mondays and Thursdays. He helps the uni’s live figure workshop club on Wednesdays and Fridays at 6 p.m., and meets his sister for lunch on Wednesdays. All other free time was dedicated for his industry work. That wouldn’t be a concern anymore, would it. By the time Morpheus unlocks the door to the studio, sets his bag down by his desk, and starts fiddling with the ceiling studio lights pointed at the model stand, all of Morpheus’ thoughts have reduced to pure spite. Fine, maybe the big studios don’t want him. They don’t deserve him, then, their loss. His portfolio and repertoire are infamous in the industry, they’ll be crawling back to him in no time. Too bad, maybe he would have started his own production studio and he’ll end up with the next ground-breaking animated film. Maybe— Morpheus’ thoughts are interrupted by a knock at the door. He shakes himself out of it, calling, “Come in.” A glance at his watch tells him it’s only 7:48, perhaps it’s an overeager student here early. It’s only the second week of the semester, they grab every opportunity to prove themselves with a spirited step that Morpheus might be slightly envious of. “Hello, Morpheus Endeles?” Hearing his full name startles Morpheus, and he turns from the lighting settings to the door. “Yes?” The man who steps into view can only be described as radiant. He can’t be much older than Morpheus, not much taller either but wider in the shoulders. His hair is cropped just above his shoulders and he sports a neatly kept beard. Morpheus registers this all first simply because of his profession but— he gets caught on the man’s brilliant smile and deep brown eyes. There’s something there that knocks all thoughts clear out of Morpheus’ head. The stranger smiles warmly, smiles like he already cares. “I’m here to model for the morning and noon figure classes?” The man says. Morpheus clears his throat and steps forward, “Yes, this is the right studio.” He extends a hand, “Robert Gadling, I presume?” The man takes his hand— god, he’s so warm— and shakes it steadily, “Please, call me Hob! All my friends do.”

I'm a sucker for the 'Morpheus catalogues Hob's appearance during their first meeting' trope in most Dreamling human AU fics, I couldn't not do it too :]

Besides this, I've also got a Dreamling Velvet Goldmine-ish AU fic that I want to get done this summer. I'm a very slow and ruminative writer so let's see if I can commit to any of these fics now that I've posted about them lol!

No pressure tags! I have no idea who's been tagged recently so-- lol. @hardly-an-escape @valeriianz @moorishflower @amielot :)

[person25]

do you ever see a character/actor and say “i want you👹” in a southern drawl? no? just me?…😔

[quorras]

btw, do we know if dilinger jr will be in tr3n?

As far as I remember, Cillian Murphy wasn't on the cast announcement, so I'm not sure?

But, I think Evan Peters is playing a character called Julian Dillinger (we dont know the relation to Dillinger Sr yet), so I wouldn't be surprised if there are nods to Dillinger Jr. at the very least. [ Source for the Julian Dillinger name ]

Norma Khan ( Dead End: Paranormal Park): Norma is Autistic, she’s also canonical Bisexual. She’s amazing rep for both communities

Frankie Stein (Monster High: Gen 3): Frankie has a prosthetic leg, idk if they are considered a Amputeee because I’m not too familiar they’re character. Frankie is also canonical queer being non-binary and using they/them pronouns (Thank you to @/swifts_heart on Instagram for suggesting them)
