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-)

September 18th, 1976 - Queen Story!

Queen played a free concert in Hyde Park, London, UK - To Thank their fans!

👉 It is estimated that between 150 and 200 thousand people were present in Hyde Park, a record still difficult to overcome for that location

👉 A wistful-looking Freddie Mercury back stage in Hyde Park, 1976

🔸Danny recalls: 'I had been wandering around backstage... and there he was, in a white boiler suit, being handed a microphone. With minutes to go before the start of the show, I playfully asked, “Who are you?” “Freddie.” He replied cheerfully, seeming to appreciate the cheek of my question. I asked him if I could take a few photos. “Of course you can, dear boy!” was his reply. With a portly stage assistant to my left giving him last-minute instructions, Freddie struck a couple of poses for me, looking like Count Dracula. Surprisingly relaxed, I thought, considering he was due on stage any minute. “Off anywhere nice?” I asked him. He just smiled and pointed upwards to the hole above his head. With that, the sound of Brian May’s guitar rang out and the platform Freddie had been standing on started to levitate, rising straight up and onto the stage for the start of their show. I made my way back to the front of the crowd at speed to capture Freddie, now stripped to a white leotard, in all his camp, charismatic glory. This would be the beginning of my working relationship with Queen'
