#the unholy four

[bitter69uk]

Currently half-watching (well, it’s on TV in the background while I’m working): middling, nondescript and forgotten 1954 British film noir The Stranger Came Home (released as The Unholy Four in the US). Its borderline incomprehensible plot concerns amnesia, double-crossing and murder. I’m only half paying attention – I’ve half-watched it before. The Stranger is most notable for the presence of a genuine down-on-her luck Hollywood star: Paulette Goddard. In the thirties and forties, she triumphed as an A-list leading lady directed by prestigious names like her then-husband Charles Chaplin (Modern Times (1936)), George Cukor (The Women (1939)), Jean Renoir (Diary of a Chambermaid (1946)) and multiple collaborations with Cecil B DeMille in some of his lush big budget historical epics and starred opposite Gary Cooper, Bob Hope and John Wayne. At one point, Goddard was a dead cert to portray Scarlett O’Hara until Vivien Leigh came along. By the fifties, her stardom had waned to the point she was reduced to toiling in b-movies like Babes in Bagdad (1952) (co-starring burlesque queen Gypsy Rose Lee!), Vice Squad (1953), Paris Model (aka Nude at Midnight) (1953), Sins of Jezebel (1953) – and this one! Anyway, back to The Stranger: there’s a fun moment when Goddard – clad in a black cocktail dress (you can her the rustle of its crinoline when she moves) – flees for her life from a killer, but still stops to collect her mink coat on her way out the door. I suspect it’s what she would have done in real life. Don’t feel too sorry for Goddard: in ’58 she “married well” (to author Erich Maria Remarque), mostly retired from acting and spent the rest of her days as an affluent socialite, dripping in diamonds and jet-setting between homes in Switzerland and New York. Pictured: Goddard in The Stranger Came Home. You can watch it here.

Fanfic prompt: Vio travels back in time to the moment shadow tried to recruit him to the side of darkness

And joins this time around with the intention to win him over at all costs and with all means necessary so that the other doesn’t have to die again

He will do everything to prevent it this time

The second he joins he immediately starts to aggressively push at shadow with any and all things he can to make him switch sides

Gifts

Compliments

Even straight up flirting (he is desperate enough to do anything by that point)

But shadow with his single overworked braincell is incredibly dense and it flies all over his head except that Vio obviously wants to be friends with him

Vaati at the other hand is creeped out to hell and back as in fully disgusted and disturbed by Vio

Like that is just messed up

He is so uncomfortable by it that he tries to shield shadow from him (because shadow is his and ganondorf's weird magic baby/thrall/demon/ thing and nobody else should be allowed to look at his property like this)

Because what the heck is that supposed to be

(The second Vio found out he got worse on purpose just to piss him off)

And he can’t even kick him out because it is a weak reason for getting rid of a useful player

Shadow finally gets some form of affection in this timeline (good for him bad for Vaati and Vio because they are both fighting about shadow by this point)

Vaati decides against sending Shadow anywhere alone with Vio

Vio tries hard to convince him (as in nearly begging him because he needs to keep the timeline predictable )

It somehow makes him even more uncomfortable with shadow being anywhere near him

Vio then just straight up starts begging him on his knees and everything

After the most uncomfortable hours in his entire life he agreed (but he definitely will be breathing down his neck because that was just unsettling)

When the confrontation happens between Vio and the colors at the fire temple

He doesn’t tell the lie of how he understood darkness or something he just straight up tells them that he went because of shadow

The colors are concerned

The colors are also weirded out by the way Vio acts because from what they remember Link never was a degenerate

So why is Vio so obsessed and unsettling about literally everything (he has decided to troll everyone and also can’t change his role on the whim because Vaati is probably watching him )

It ends up interesting to say the least

Imagine fucking with Haitham by every day, going to his immaculately kept bookshelf and just...removing the dust jacket off one book and hiding it

every day, a new dust jacket goes missing, exposing his beautiful hardcovers to the open air.

even worse for him if it takes him a few days to notice hehehe

Hehehe 😈

I'd be so down to do that and then watch him go insane and turn his office upside down until he comes to you (almost pleadingly) asking if you know where his dust jackets went.

Or just randomly bring some books he neatly placed next to each other in disarray and watch him fix them every day anew while growing increasingly more frustrated.

You just play coy and say you have no clue where they could've gone.

Fast forward to him putting the blame on Kaveh and starting a fight with him. Because surely he could be the only one who is behind this, right? It would never be you!

You watch it unfold while secretly sneaking into his room to return the dust covers while they're bickering. Only to then watch him storm into his office with Kaveh in tow to find all dust covers in their respective place (which starts the bickering anew. Grab some popcorn and watch it unfold 🍿).
