Man in a Suitcase: Who's Mad Now? (1.27, ITC, 1968)

"I can get you stopped, you know that?"

"You can try."

"A foreigner, here under sufferance, so to speak... and, uh, you do have a past."

"And, uh, you do have a big mouth; and, uh, you do have some big friends - right?"

Parkes was fairly new to scriptwriting and #by his own admission (in later interviews) considered his work on MiaS to be run of the mill rush work. this may also have been an episode #intended to save a little budget for some of the more expensive set pieces in the final few episodes; there's little location filming here #and just a couple of sets. not a bad episode‚ but not particularly a standout: the plot concerns an old flame of McGill's who worries #she's losing her mind. cue much 60s gaslighting and a few trippy scenes of apparent hallucination. Philip Madoc pops up as a psychologist #and honestly I'd have enjoyed more of his character. Bob Hutton is the rotten husband who may or may not be causing all the problems (but #let's be real‚ was it ever in doubt?). the scenes between McGill and Hutton do sparkle tho‚ full of restrained jealousy and indignation #i particularly enjoyed the quoted bit above (it's in the way Bradford really hits the 'uh's in a venomous mockery of Hutton's tone; quite #possibly an adlib??). as in the pilot‚ McGill ends up hiring another private detective to do some sleuthing on his behalf #Harvey is quite fun as the competent but heavy drinking private eye

so excited for Kalim to save the day by swiper-no-swiping this dip. you can do it! I believe in you!

god I hope this reads properly

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #stage in playful land #stage in playfulland #i feel like kalim and the marshmallow test operates under roger rabbit rules #whether he passes or fails depends on which option is funniest at the time #anyway HEY things are finally actually happening!#so glad fellow agrees with me there #did he even expect them to make it to the show. did he very quickly have to choreograph a poppy little dance number.#honestly in retrospect i am also shocked that they lasted as long as they did #i mean. floyd is there. c'mon.#speaking of which i did really enjoy floyd going BYE JADE! MAYBE I'LL COME BACK TO SAVE YOU LATER IF I FEEL LIKE IT!#revenge for the popcorn #sorry if this is nonsensical! somehow it became like 4 am while i wasn't looking #i am super digging the evil theme park shenanigans (now that they're actually happening)#it's just Very Late!

◇ (Platonic) Goth kids x reader - New friends ◇

Aka; Henrietta introduces you to her other friends, the goths

- You and Henrietta always got along

- Mostly due to the fact you live right nextdoor and you were the only kid she could play with when you were both little

- She continued being friends with you as you aged, and one day she decided to introduce you to her friend group

- Now, this could go 2 ways, depending if you're also goth or not

- If you are, great, they won't care that much and let you hang out with them

- If you aren't, they'll be skeptical, but thanks to Henrietta, they'll give you a chance

- As you got to know them, you realized they were surprisingly not that mean

- If you ever feel like skipping classes, you go and smoke with them behind the school

- Your hangouts always happen at Henrietta's house

- You usually write and read poems for each other, and you learn quite a lot about writing dark poems

- Your parents don't know you hang out with them, you never mention it to anyone

- Michael is the first one in the group to warm up to you

- Pete gives you tips on your hair and accesories to make you look better, or 'more goth'

- The other kids in school rip on you at times, but you saw that coming when you started hanging out with them

- Still, you don't care that much. At the end of the day, they're your friends!

A/N: I love the goth kids, so. Goth kids content. (Also ignore that Firkle isn't mentioned here I didn't know what to do with him-)
