We had so many great recs for Fic Rec Friday this week. Here they are for your reading pleasure:

Equanimity Author: Resonant. Recced by @bishybarnaby

"As I never know when someone might try to push my buttons, I find it useful to know where they are."

Negotiable Author: Eyebrowofdoom. Recced by @bishybarnaby

The shitty thing was that Q had a boyfriend at the time – a ravishing, blond, public-school-boy wank fantasy of an actual, actual boyfriend. Then Bond came along.

Herding Cats, Knitting Hats Author: @avengersnonsexualageplay. Recced by @sams-fluffadise

Working with double-ohs is like herding cats. Q might be the first quartermaster who can actually do it. (Series)

Scar Tissue Author: Beederific. Recced by @ohmsservice

Q's too much of a welcome distraction.

“Can we get big, heavy action guys back?” Allow me to introduce you to Korean actor Ma-Dong Seok a.k.a. Don Lee, proudly carrying on the Sammo Hung tradition of “Big cuddly teddy bear man who can absolutely punch a hole through you.” Co-star of Train To Busan, star of The Cop, The Gangster and The Devil, The Outlaws and The Round Up (my personal favorite), all of which are readily available on multiple streaming sites, including Tubi!

I've been on a bit ob a Russell Crowe movie binge in the past few weeks and since he is almost sixty now, many of the movies I've watched were consequently older movies. and when I watched them, it struck me again, how much hollywood has changed in the last few decades when it comes to depicting men.

take Gladiator for example from the year 2000. Russell Crowe plays basically an action hero in it. he is a big, muscly dude, who is very strong and uses that strength to defeat his enemies. and this is what he looks like:

looks like a strong man, right?

in the same year, Hugh Jackman as Wolverine looked like this in the first X-men movie:

in 2013 the same character played by the same actor looked like this:

it's a bit much, isn't it? I mean, he looks so skinny.

and if we go even further back: look at what the womanizer character Face from the A-team looked like in the 80s show vs the 2010 movie reboot:

maybe the difference isn't that big but it really startled me when I watched that movie for the first time. in my mind there was no reason why Face should be particularly muscular since he is the charming one not the one known for being particularly strong.

if we go even further back, look at the charmin womanizer character Hawkeye in M*A*S*H from the 70's.

I know he's a doctor and there is no reason for him to be ripped but I got the feeling if they did the show now, he would be.

I don't know what my point really is I'm just saying I got a bit nostalgic when watching these men. I cannot be the only one who'd rather see more of this:

than this:

also, as a sidenote: Russell Crowe gained a lot of weight for the nice guys and he is a fucking powerhouse in that film, like, when he punches someone, you really feel it because of the weight that is behind it and the shere mass of his body.

(even if this may look different, he's about to break Ryan Gosling's character's arm. I couldn't find a gif of him punching someone but I swear it looks painfull as hell.)

so, in short: can we get big, heavy action guys back? cause I'm tired of seeing these skinny, despite being muscular dudes who look dehydrated as hell and on steroids.

and can we stop making characters ripped just for the sake of it? cause I'd rather cuddle with a guy looking like Hawkeye than one looking like Face from the new A-team movie.

August Round Up

August was filled with mud - when you were anywhere near a festival field - and stunning new releases. We hope you enjoy Amy Papiransky, Steam Donkey, Alffa, Deer Park Avenue, and many others, as much as we do!

Amy Papiransky – Isabella Scottish artist Amy Papiransky brought us a soft storytelling alternative pop song with sweet vocals and a subtle yet warm soundscape. Hints of indie and soul bring an intriguing soundscape that is eclectic and supports its message seamlessly, with the inspiration behind ‘Isabella’ being the constant exposure to other people’s lives on social media. Steam Donkey – Give…

can't clip it but that one scene in the round up where smurfstorm says "what did you even smurf them anyway" so apathetic made me laugh

The Round-Up (1920)

[pangur-and-grim]

my heart can't take this......Belphie now dashes ahead of me in the mornings and clambers up to sit on the scale, because he knows that after medicating he gets half a tube of churu

I cannot emphasize enough that he placed himself there.

When you meet your past lives but they're all ignoring you and freaking out over this one guy?

I've seen a few versions of this floating around with the different Leos and I wanted to have a go at doing one for Mikey. They're all collectively realising what a bus sized bullet they dodged by not ending up as messed up as Ronin

parenthood was not on my 2024 bingo card but clearly life is full of surprises
