If I had a nickle for every time sfth played a woman missing her husband because he went into a flying object and didn't return so then she tries to find him I'd have two nickles, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it's happened twice

Tom saying in the new play "I've got to find my husband" with that look of determination in his face scared the fuck out of me but at the same time made me root for him! YEAH GIRL GO FIND YOUR HUSBAND!!!

AND PUT THE WINE DOWN!!!

Still thinking about my Burns AU for Pilot’s Final Flight ❤️

Imagine him in a constant loop of pain as he is in a constant state of healing and dying. Imagine if he spent every day of those 15 years in constant pain, unable to communicate with anyone.

Imagine him hugging his son after 15 years, the first human contact he’s had in ages, and erupting in pain as the Time Loop is no longer there to keep him alive. Imagine him not caring because that’s his son and he can take a little bit more pain for his sake.

Man I love angst <3

TPFF: Cavendish Fluff :3c

“Do you think he realises he’s alive?”

Martha doesn’t look up from the laundry she’s darning, “Sorry?”

Leyland is holding their newborn son in his arms. Baby Mike is gurgling softly around the tiny fist he’s shoved in his mouth, and staring curiously up at him with big, wet blue eyes. Despite being three months old already, he’s still so small — as a matter of fact, he’s barely bigger than a head of lettuce. Leyland cant help the chuckles that bubbles out his chest as the notion. “It’s just,” he runs a gentle finger through the tufts of copper hair on his son’s head, “Look at him.”

“Well,” Martha starts, leaving the socks she was holding to stand behind him, “No, darling, probably not,” she wraps her arms around his middle and perches her chin on his shoulder, “I don’t imagine there’s much going on in that head of his — he’s only little.”

They both laugh softly at this, and a glob of saliva dribbles down Baby Mike’s chin. They spend a moment like this, simply taking each other in, when Leyland breaks the silence.

“You are amazing, Martha.”

“Oh, stop it!”

“I’m entirely serious! You’re wonderful,” he turns and presses a kiss to her temple, “and you’ve made us a wonderful boy.”

thoughts on "The Pilot's Final Flight": (spoilers)

dear sam, you can't say that on the internet. (all the others reacting omg i love it - the audience too)

5 minutes in Sam flipped off the audience ok

"im actually a feminist"

oh i love Tom's character protect her

"I'll go and find him" oh baby

15 years later - is this the first time they do this on a longform?

TOM DOING THE MATH

AWWWWW AJ being soft for his mom

yes queen you go out dancing enjoy the swinging sixties

honestly everytime Tom plays a woman we get the most iconic, feminist, empowering characters

one thing I love about AJ is that when he's playing teenagers or young adults, he nervously rocks from side to side or nervously grabs a t-shirt, which I think is a really cool detail

im talking dance martha

[more luke noises]

were getting a lot of bartender content lately

new character! who the fuck is this :)

tom is breaking/laughing way more in this than he uses too, its lovely

also the whole stepping on dog shit is just...just - i dont even know

Martha is going to spend the rest of her life mourning Leyland before he even dies for real this time

Tragic and devastating news-local has to wait to watch the new long form in favor of a family birthday party

Fanart of “TPFF: Morning After” by @littletonomanners

I fell in love with how they wrote Leyland and Michael and this post-reunion scene is so beautiful

[gaydoggirll]

[farraday-yes]

I’ve got neatest little thoughts about Leyland Cavendish (Luke stop making your characters so good and with so much angst potential-)

Heads up for Spoilers for The Pilot’s Final Flight!!!

My mind is basically in these three ball parks:

1) he was displaced in time so the fifteen years away he spend might have been a few hours in the Poop Loop, haha. Also, I’m guessing they did try to retrieve him but by the quantum powers of Love™ nothing became of it. It was Michael’s connection to Leyland that finally closed the loop.

Also, he looks like the day he left them and Leyland has to deal with the fact that he missed 15 years of his son’s life. And oh Martha. Martha’s breaking down, calling him stupid for agreeing with the experiment and sobbing about how much she missed him. The government will probably try to cover up the large mistake and also try sending more people now that they know it’s possible to retrieve them.

2) He did spend 15 years in the time stream and due to Poop Loop logic, he neither needed to sleep nor eat. He spent the last 15 years trying to link everything together and finally, through the Power of Love™ again, he sends a message to Martha to get her to find him. He solved it and now he can go home. He just needs someone else to start it. Queue emotional moment and meeting but slightly more cooler because Leyland aged too and he’s been doing all he can to reunite with his family.

Also, I would like Leyland to be covered in burns. Horrible burns because his plane overheated so much that he basically boiled alive. However, again Poop Loop logic, he was in a constant state of burning and not burning and he just had to endure that.

3) Michael hurdles through and instead of closing the loop, he gets trapped with Leyland. This has great crossover potential as you can basically make these two end up anywhere. Also the intrigue of a father and son that haven’t seen each other in 15 years. Michael isn’t the same as Leyland last remembered him and Michael is realising that his father isn’t the infallible idol he’s been trying to find. By no means is Leyland a bad father in this just- it’s different meeting your father after 15 years. You don’t have the same kid lenses as you did before.

I think throwing them with the Inside the Mysterious Cube cast is the most fun and allows for more cool scifi shit.

This was just some nice things I thought I could do. It’s a lot of fun to ponder these funny little improv plays :)
