watching bbc sherlock post-fleabag like ooohhh the hot priest is insane

[shegottosayit]

[frazzlecrazzle]

Just finished watching It's Always Sunny for the first time and rewatching Crashing for possibly the 4th? 5th? time.

I fully believe that if you like one of these shows you'll like the other. If Crashing didn't have such a small fanbase (sobbing) I reckon there'd be a massive fan overlap. But alas, I have to spread the Crashing agenda by myself.

Anyway, Sam and Mac are just about the same person:

"Fuck off, I'm not a queen. I'm not a drama queen. [gay ass hand gesture] I am neither queen."

The daddy issues go crazy with those two

"But I need you!" "Are you okay?" "psshh, yeah. Shut up."

Ready to beat the shit out of someone at a moment's notice. Probably won't win, but still ready

go watch crashing if you havent already. and if you have, go rewatch it

A sketch of Fleabag because this show is the love of my life.

[pseudowho]

good afternoon from myself as a good evening to you, lovely haitch 🖤

i began watching the show Fleabag last night, and i don’t know if it’s because of the content of the show or because its ‘english’ (i throw this guess out, as an only mildly-multicultural american) but she reminded me a lot of you, especially down to the cadence and syntax of the way you write. i wanted to know if you knew about this show at all, and what you’re thoughts might be on it? (crossing my fingers you haven’t talked about it already)

i also wanted to ask about your works, and just vague questions about your own opinion on them - are there any you are particularly proud of and cheeky for? do you know the favorites of your friends/husband, or if they have one? do you reread some, or think about rewriting any in particular? what about content you might ache to write at some point?

you’re very introspective (to me, at least, mustn’t assume) and i take a lot of interest in hearing your opinions and thoughts on things. you’re a big inspiration and motivator for me to continue writing my book! feel free to skip over any questions you wish, im aware it was a lot. much love! <3

I do know of this show! I'm so sorry behind on TV, I'm ashamed to say I haven't seen Fleabag, even when I should have. I think it's Phoebe Waller-Bridge, off the top of my head, unless I'm very much mistaken. I promise you I'll have a watch, and see what I think.

R.e. my favourite cheeky fics...I adore Deliverance, Fire and Iron, Calamus et Gladius and The Stacks. My husband's favourite is Bedlocked, though he hasn't read many. None of my irl friends know that I do this, so that's a pass. Of my lovely Tumblr friends, perhaps @delirious-donna, @musubi-sama, @starsinmylatte and @self-aware-ape can answer which, if any, are their favourites if they wish.

I'm probably a bit too introspective. I try to take a multifaceted approach that strips away any ego I may have. It's hard, but it's cathartic.

Thank you so much for thinking I'm an inspiration. I just try to present myself as I am in person. I wish you the absolute best for your book; amazing job, keep writing, and I'm sure you're doing fucking brilliantly.

All my love,

-- Haitch xxx

April is Killing Eve Month. The first episode premiered on BBCAmerica on April 8, 2018. The last episode aired on AMC on April 22, 2022. Killing Eve will receive a second life when it debuts on Netflix on April 15, 2024.

This means a new worldwide audience that missed out on what was the best show on television in 2018, gets another chance to experience the excellence that was Killing Eve at its best.

Thank you Luke Jennings, Phoebe Waller Bridge, Sandra Oh, and Jodie Comer for making the magic happen.

Travis comments on GoJo & Golic's podcast where he raves about Travis' athleticism, simulating a conversation between Tay & Trav (x)

"The only thing I can come back to with all this ... is how difficult it is to register on the Richter scale in the house that he's now apart of with Taylor Swift where its like 'Oh babe, what did you do this weekend?' 'Well, I stimulated the global economy, I went to a new a new city and enriched the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, babe, what did you do?' 'I cracked 11 dingers (11 home runs) in a celebrity softball game, feeling pretty great about this one babe, thanks for asking' "

June 11 - Chiefs training camp

Travis is asked at Chiefs press conference what he and his significant other cook together based on the Youtube Short Taylor posted (x 6:30)

"I'm gonna keep that one it myself, because I thoroughly enjoy cooking with her, so its something I'd rather keep personal" and later adds " Taylor makes a great pop tart and cinnamon roll" with a big grin on his face as he leaves.

Taylor out at Casa Cruz in Notting Hill, London, UK dining with Cara Delevingne, Stella McCartney, Phoebe Waller Bridges, Kate Moss, Este Haim, Danielle Haim, Lena Dunham, Andrew Scott, Martin McDonagh & others. Taylor wears the choker she also wore to the Grammy's when announcing TTPD and receiving her 4th Album Of The Year. I'm suspicious...

hey!🌙✨ just a 21+ girl looking for other 21+ folks to write some smutty original plots. i write over email or discord, am happy to double, & i opt for a lazylit style, with short but well-crafted replies of 2-3 paragraphs. hoping to practice my nsfw-writing skills a bit, so my preference would be starting with the smut (or getting to it fairly quickly!) and then exploring the consequences after. the more dead dove-ish the better, age gaps and/or incest very welcome! below are the pairings/dynamics i’m currently looking for, all historical at the moment:

cult leader x follower���maybe it’s britain in the late 1890s or early 1900s, and it’s some occult mysticism a la aleister crowley? lots of folk horror imagery, foggy moors, remote islands, ancient carvings, etc. or maybe it’s a hippie commune in america in the 1960s, with lots of psychedelic strangeness? either way i’d like to explore the power dynamics between the two! maybe the leader’s trying to seduce a resistant target, or maybe the follower is angling for more power within the cult? lots of options!

addict x dealer—or addict x addict, or addict x sober, you get the picture! opium dens in victorian london? heroin addiction on the streets of 1980s berlin? the affairs of barflies & drunks in a 1920s new york speakeasy, a 1800s frontier saloon, or a 1990s glasgow pub? lots of options here, but i'm mostly interested in exploring the dynamics around addiction, the way that people compromise themselves & get into self-destructive and codependent relationships.

father x daughter—definitely my most dead dove-ish craving at the moment, but i'd like to explore a scenario where a father & daughter are isolated from society (either literally isolated or just socially outcast) and end up straying into dangerous territory. maybe it's france in the middle ages and they're peasants in some little cottage in the woods? maybe it's the 19th century in ireland and it's a lighthouse keeper and his daughter living by the sea? or 1900s england and they live in a decaying mansion in the countryside? or is it the '90s, actually, and they live in a council flat in manchester and just keep to themselves and get gossiped about? in any case, i'd like to dive into the psychology of this and really explore the consequences!

+ optional add-on: also, i adore using faceclaims, am happy to take requests if there's a fc you're itching to write against, and (on my end) i especially appreciate ones who are slightly more unconventional/unusual in their looks? idk some of my current favs are anya taylor-joy, phoebe waller-bridge, vinette robinson, olivia colman, saoirse-monica jackson, ewen bremner, adam nagaitis, joel fry, sam spruell so use any of those as a fc and you will have earned my undying gratitude & affection.

cheers, thanks for reading! give this a like if interested and i'll reach out!

give a like and anon will get back to you

I've just finished fleabag and I have so many many thoughts she's terrible she's a sneak thief she takes things that isn't hers she's empty she doesn't love herself her best friend loved her so much and she betrayed her she's the best and worst sister in the world Claire's husband is such a fucking dick I hate him he got exactly what he deserved I kept away from this for years bc I knew I'd fall in love with both Phoebe waller bridge but also Andrew scott and God damn it I wanted him to pick her so so so so so bad but I respect him for not but God is so mean to make love feel the way it does and then asks of us so much and you know how to love best and that's why you find it so painful and fuck you Phoebe you're so fucking beautiful and so fucking funny and Claire is so beautiful and so fucking funny and fuck you Andrew scott you didn't have to kiss her like That all tender and shit God this was the best show I'd ever seen thank you PWB for my life

Ask Game: List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last 10 people who liked or reblogged something from you! get to know your mutuals and followers :)

Ooh, thank you for this ask! I like it! 💕

Five things that make me happy are:

I have a border collie mix named Talaria and a cream tabby called Tingum. The cat lives with my husband in the Bahamas most of the time (long story, but we're happily married) so I miss him a lot when they're on-island.

Writing! I've been in a non-sims slump for a long time which hasn't been amazing for my career, but my motivation is back and that makes me incredibly happy.

Rainy days. I live in Florida so they're fairly few and far between most of the year, but we're coming up on rainy season and I can't wait.

All things Phoebe Waller-Bridge. I like her as an actor, but I especially love her writing. I strive to write more like she does but I don't think I'm there yet.

Birbs! All of them. Even the mean ones.

[nancydrewwouldnever]

I mostly follow you and Lucky lol and I loved loved loved seeing Phoebe waller bridge and Paul mescal being besties (if Chris was, let's say, dating Phoebe or someone like her, I don't think we would be getting called 'crazies' day in day out). I also loved seeing the Victoria Pedretti gifs and her at the picket line and I couldn't help but cackle when I remembered Chris's unfortunate unfollows (Halsey, Pedretti and the most suspicious one to me, which is never talked about, Monica Barbaro). But we all know he can only scrape the bottom of the barrel so I guess the nobody is all he could get lol. Thank you so much for posting about the Maui fires too, it's been devastating

Actually, the one follow that really made me raise my eyebrows was Alex Chando. Because it only lasted for around 24 hours and it felt like she may have reached out and said, thanks but no thanks. Just my own conspiracy theory.

[therealslimshakespeare]

Marinaaa! What sort of movie/shows would you like to see Callum star in? Is there any directors or actors/actress you’d like to see him opposite of?

Oooh this is fun, I’m so very pop culture deficient I can’t say which upcoming projects I want him in (he’s given me Boys in the Boat AND MotA all in one year…i mean, he’s a generous lad…

But, I’ve got some thoughts. And per usual they’re Historical AF. Thanks to the wicked mind of @ab4eva I’ve suddenly started picturing him playing a young Ernest Hemingway and I just wanna say I don’t know if my pelvic floor could handle that much sex appeal in one cinematic experience.

I need him playing a rugby star in some thing that Phoebe Waller-Bridge creates, I won’t explain further.

I need him in those obscene tight tan trousers of the late British Imperial army, probably being a chivalrous and repressed cunty officer.

I need an adaptation of a few novels and autobiographies, including I Married Adventure by Osa Johnson and I need blonde Cal as Martin, who robbed the cradle and took her on a thirty year safari.

I need this man on my screen. That’s the whole of it. I’d love to see him directed by like, I dunno?? Ron Howard’s done some awesome old style epic biopics. Thinking something like his old work with Cinderella Man?? This is so random.

Anyways. Thanks for the ask that set my mind loose.

roman roy and fleabag parallels

hi. so, the worms in my brain got a little (very) out of hand and this post is a result of it👍

let's talk about the line "i dont know what to do with all the love i have for her i dont know where to put it." fleabag as a character is deeply, incredibly flawed. she's broken, depressed, self-destructive; i could go on and on. to me, the show was essentially about love and grief and being able to find support in the people around you, and coming to terms with the fact that there are in fact, people that love you and that you deserve to be loved. fleabag thinks she's "greedy, perverted, selfish, apathetic, cynical and depraved" and yeah, she is, but she's also trying her damned best to get through life goddamit. roman, my precious failbaby, my son, he literally thinks of himself as unlovable, thinks he deserves being hit because he's "annoying." the core of roman's self-hate stems from the abuse he suffered as a child (and continues to), all those years that he spent trying to please a father who thought there was something wrong with him. he's a cruel, evil guy (first time we see that on screen was the baseball game where he promised that kid 1 mil and then proceeded to tear the cheque in front of his eyes) and yeah, he too, is "greedy, perverted, selfish, apathetic, cynical and depraved."

"i think you know how to love better than any of us that's why you find it all so painful." phoebe waller-bridge why would you do this to me. do i even have to elaborate on this line? fleabag holds so much love in her she doesn't know what to do with it she wants to be loved but doesn't want to go through the terrible ordeal of being known, of being seen, her boyfriend literally told her "don't make me hate you, loving you is hard enough as it is", the priest's speech on love, his decision to choose to stay or leave her and he chose the former !!!! her relationship with her sister, how claire loves her but doesn't see her, not the way the priest did. just. yeah. rome. he has so, so much love to give. i think out of all the characters on succ, he's the one vulnerable enough to say something like "i don't know dad, love?" like??? and that scene where he asks greg to get him one of logan's sweater, something that smells like him?? how he's the one who initiates hugs?? "hey can we do the hug-y thing"??????????? ARHJHJEFKHDFS im not going to elaborate on the love he has for logan or his siblings bc there are sooo many posts that do it better than i could, but essentially, just like fleabag, roman wants to be loved but he doesn't think of himself as deserving of it.

their relationship with sex. it's so different but also not?? my friend phrased it for me so im just going to paste that over here (my fave part about this is the fact that they literally haven't watched succession but figured all this out from whatever i've told them HAH)

feel free to interact w this post and elaborate on this more!!

how they blame themselves for the death of the person they loved (logan and boo), although in rome's case it's kinda funny in a tragic way if him calling logan a cunt is what killed logan.

how they use humor as a coping mechanism, how they deal with guilt.

something something their relationship with their sibling/s too.

and that is all for today, thank you for coming to my TED talk.

thank you phoebe waller-bridge for giving me a socially acceptable reason to lust after andrew scott in 2023

What factors inspired you to write like this ? PS: I love your work !! x

Thank you so much! It's very kind of you to say. I didn't study to be a writer in school, so my path in this direction was a bit circuitous.

A number of factors inspired me (and continue to inspire me). In regards to the Outlander stories I've written, the source material (books and show) were extremely inspirational, and I wanted to spend more time in that world with the characters I fell in love with. No other book or show comes close for me.

Another inspiration comes from my previous fandom. There is a crack ship on General Hospital (yes, I was raised a soap girl) that never played out on screen, but there are 3 writers who wrote for that ship (Lolexis) who were absolutely brilliant. EllenSmithee, Lionel, and Lsquared. Ellen knocked my socks off the first time I read her work, and I have never recovered. I reread her story (30 days) at least once a year. It has the best character development (and SEX) of anything I have ever read...ever! My writing can't live up to hers, and I don't even try, but I've learned so much from her about things like how to use sex as more than sex (it's plot too!), how to sit with an intense emotion in a scene, and the basics of nicely flowing sentence/paragraph structures (I'm constantly learning more about this). From Lionel, I learned how to lean into certain tropes, how to use plot to drive the story forward, and the beauty of simplicity.

Other inspirations come from media I consume. Listening to the likes of Pixar storytellers and Phoebe Waller Bridge discuss how they craft a story have had HUGE impacts on me. Without them, Journey would never have turned into what it is now. Another author, She-who-must-not-be-named, taught me how to unfold a mystery. And then there is Diana. She employs storytelling strategies that are utterly brilliant, and they've strongly influenced the way I write.

For years, I've studied philosophy and various other academic fields related to human behavior, and ventured into deep, emotional places with a variety of people. It's had a massive influence on how I craft a character and their journey.

More recently, I've been working with a professional editor who has helped me identify and clean up some of my bad habits, and she has helped with shining a light on missed emotional beats and plot holes. She's incredible. My beta, Lis, has done this for me a millions times over as well.

The biggest influence on my writing has been to just write. I've written more than 2 millions words in the last 6-7 years, and I experimented with perspectives, tropes, character development strategies, outlines, etc. Rereading my own work helps me recognize areas for growth and already established strengths.

Feedback from readers has been invaluable and a HUGE motivator.

I hope this answers your question. Sorry it took so long. I wanted to ensure I took the time to think it through and give a decent response.
