#ted and ralph

[infraczern]

I haven't had time to post for a while but I couldn't get Ralph and Ted from The Fast Show out of my head. This show broke me. It was the saddest comedy I've ever seen.

So here you have Ted and Ralph chilling (being awkward) together :]

my (possibly not very) hot take of the day is that Ted and Ralph is to Jeeves and Wooster as Raffles is to Holmes. in both cases i feel that someone looked at a famous piece of media about two dudes often read as queer and went “all right that’s a great piece of media. but consider: what if it was gayer and more sad”

My brain rot for this pair is about to get a whole lot worse.

(that's right this film does not exist anywhere on the internet so I had to pay £20 for a DVD which is nearly unavailable to buy in order to watch this)

This essay is brilliant! It dissects the themes and context of the sketches so well!

akeshu girlies where they get bubble tea and akechi yaps the entire fucking time

--

“Hey, is that Akechi-chan?”

“What’s she doing hanging around the transfer student? Do you think she’s investigating her?”

“Oh my god. Do you think if I commit a crime, she’d investigate me too?”

“Perhaps I should have worn a hat,” Akechi says jauntily.

She loops her arm through Ren’s to lead her to the train station. The chatter around the school increases in volume. No hat could save them now, not that it could have before. Ren tries to sink further into her collar. If Akechi had actually wanted to fly under the radar, she wouldn’t have brought her monogrammed messenger bag.

Apparently tuning out the gossip, and transparently faking it, Akechi clicks on her phone. “Do you like milk tea?” she asks. “I feel I at least owe you a drink for drawing so much attention to you outside your school. There’s a place nearby which does an Earl Grey topped with creme brulee pudding. I quite like Western tea, to be honest. It’s fragrant. Shall we go?”

Ren hasn’t gotten in a single fucking word yet.

They get on the train. Akechi sits before Ren can even think about it.

“Oh, sorry,” she says pleasantly. “I’ve been on my feet all day. You’re lucky you can wear flat shoes, you know. I know the kitten heels don’t look too daunting, but spend a day in them… It’s murder, Amamiya-chan. But you can sit on my lap, if you like. You don’t look heavy.”

Ren shakes her head. Her knuckles are white around the loop handle.

Akechi glances up at her hand and smiles. Ren wishes she had Joker’s gloves.

“Your leggings are too big,” Akechi points out sweetly. “They tend to sag a bit at the knees. Did you know?”

Ren pulls them up again. She misses Joker’s trousers.

The milk tea shop is a hole-in-the-wall type in a quiet suburb about fifteen minutes from Shibuya station. Akechi leads Ren through the twisting streets, past a small convenience store and a stall that only seems to sell succulents. Ren nearly misses the little awning when they find it, stumbling before she can run into Akechi’s back.

“What luck,” Akechi says, “we still have an hour before they close. Have a look at the menu, Amamiya-chan, unless you’d like me to choose for you?”

Ren shakes her head again, but Akechi is gazing into the kitchen. Someone inside seems to spot her and calls, “Good afternoon, Akechi-chan! Thank you for coming back again. You’ve brought a friend?”

“I have,” Akechi says merrily. “Do you have any recommendations for me today, Shimada-san?”

“You order something new every time, Akechi-chan. I don’t know your tastes. You’d be better off throwing a dart!”

Akechi laughs. “Then I’ll get the Earl Grey,” she says. “I’d hit it subconsciously, because I like it so much.” She looks back at Ren. “My treat, of course,” she says smoothly. “Have you decided?”

“I don’t really like milk tea,” says Ren.

The cream top Oolong isn’t as sweet as the look of surprise and mild embarrassment that crosses Akechi’s face, but Ren likes it fine anyway.

Batman '89-Mr. Freeze Masterpost (with the Wifey)

I would literally kick myself in the face if I had forgotten Nora in all of this.

I used Sheryl Lee Ralph (the legend) as the faceclaim here!

Nora is a doctor, and the inventor of the Cryo-chamber. Victor is a nurse here. They have a daughter named Holly.

Batman '89 writers hit me up.

Once again, this is set in the Burtonverse. Ted Levine is the faceclaim here, with a costume inspired by the classic Peter Lorre film, Mad Love (Mr. Freeze is our favorite German lovesick rogue after all).

Please ignore how wonky his face looks in some of these images, I promise I've gotten better at drawing this man (lol)
