Funniest bit in worm was during Gold Morning Taylor got Sophia out of prison to work with her and it was kinda dramatic for one chapter before Sophia realized "oh my god Taylor is batshit insane" because the girl she bullied was walking up to the Simurgh to ask it to fight alongside them. And Sophia is the only sane person here who isn't used to Taylor's completely crazy plans and she's just like "HEY MAYBE THIS IS A HORRIBLE IDEA. WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE BECAUSE OF BUG GIRL. PUT ME BACK IN PRISON I DIDNT SIGN UP FOR THIS WHAT IS WRONG WITH ALL OF YOU" and everyone just ignores, gives her shit, and continues to drag her along on the most insane schemes ever while she's screaming in rage about it.

Who says the episode title phrases in each episode of Wolf 359?
I've created a spreadsheet to show which character says the episode title phrase (i.e. the words which form the name of that particular episode) in every episode of Wolf 359. Graphs summarising this data can be found below, but to look at the full spreadsheet in all its glory, and see the progression through the series, you can follow this link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cQLkhxbDAItU6rdiUAYGn54FXXxYC-JXlCmP_Dqe9FA/
(Please note: I’ve focused here on which character first speaks the exact title phrase within the episode itself. In some cases, this is not the only - or the most significant - time that the title phrase is spoken.)
EDIT: This post previously stated incorrectly that "the devil's plaything" is not said in Ep57. In fact, it is said by Pryce (through Minkowski). Thank you to @yaghoulghosty for pointing this out!
Season breakdown graphs below the cut...
#Wolf 359#w359#the empty man posteth#I think I'll reblog this with properly worded thoughts about the patterns at some point#but for now I'd like to draw attention to a couple of things:#(1) the proportion of Eiffel title phrases reduces as the show progresses#reflecting both the movement away from a sole focus on Eiffel's narration#and perhaps the balance shifting more towards drama rather than comedy over time#(Eiffel is particularly good at coining a comedic turn of phrase)#(2) After the SI-5 are introduced#there's 5 Kepler or Jacobi title phrases in a row#solidifying the SI-5's presence in the show#If you view the title phrases as often referencing the key problem or issue of that episode#then I think it is significant who expresses it#Please do feel free to share your own thoughts!#On a personal note:#when I make things like this#it seems kinda absurd that I only started properly considering the idea that I might be autistic this year#I'm sure all the neurotypicals are regularly making spreadsheets and graphs about the fiction podcasts they think about constantly...

everyone knows jeremy allen white is an amazing dramatic actor but i also feel like his comedic acting is underrated as well.
you would have to be a great one after being on a wacky show like shameless for 11 years.
my favourite comedic moments with carmy:
1) in Hands when Richie and Carmy fight over caulk (😭😭😭) with sydney in the middle of it all. Carmys anger and him saying caulk over and over is just hilarious to me. and i’m fully convinced this is high on the list of why Jeremy, Ayo and Ebon all got Emmy noms bc the way they execute this scene…best trio ever
btw what s2 was missing was scenes with all 3 of them. i hope s3 brings them back as a trio, their scenes r the best
2) All of Dogs like….imo the funniest episode of the Bear period. Carmy getting into a fight with Richie (“name a cohort. name an associate. one fucking person, i dare you” LMFAOOOO). Carmy being annoyed with Pete. The Xanax incident. Gold
3) When Carmy and Claire go to that house party in Pop. Carmy pretending to be Logan was soooo funny to me. I die at the way he just goes along with it and really gets into spinning this lie. Great for him to get out of his comfort zone and just extremely funny
#the bear#jeremy allen white#carmen berzatto#my sole purpose on earth is to defend the bears right to the called a comedy#it’s a dramedy ppl. heavy on the drama but the comedic parts stand out#sydcarmy#tagging bc these are my people

one day i will write a retelling of the tempest from ariel's perspective, à la atwood's penelopiad mixed with miller's circe. it will be called the ethereal comedy. it will be about one's essence and also gender and also colonization. one day.
#the tempest#cadence.txt#shakespeare#i know madeleine miller was writing something about the tempest#but put it on hold to write something about persephone#she's a good author but if she gets to the tempest before i can it's all over#especially if she writes about ariel... she can have miranda#i do love miranda but i was born to write about ariel#anyway. the reason it will be called the ethereal comedy#is because the divine comedy and the human comedy (the decameron)#are works of italian literature from arouuuuund the time of the tempest (i'm stretching the divine comedy was from like 200 years before)#and prospero and co are italian#and both titles mention some sort of state of being related to cosmology and 'essence' which would be a theme#ariel isn't human or divine. they're ethereal! they're a spirit!#i love the tempest so much and there are still so many essays and interpretations on it for me to read#the sole reason i'm studying english in uni is so i can know everything about the tempest btw#the ethereal comedy. it will rotate in my mind like a rotisserie chicken for the next several years.

So @twosides--samecoin writes a super cool Fallout longfic called Long Time Running and everyone should go read it, new chapter just dropped so she gets art
and no I totally didn’t con her into playing 20 questions to guess I was attempting a Dropkick Murphys album spoof feat. her SoSu tapping in for Micky Ward, why would I be such an asshole?
Anyway, here’s Wonderwall The Warrior’s Code (the real album art is below the cut for reference).
#my vanilla ass taste in music means wife was not aware I knew DKM existed nevermind this album#which meant my far more musically diverse spouse went in circles trying to guess what band could POSSIBLY be involved#peak comedy#got to break out long disused calligraphy experience#fallout#fo4#fallout 4#sole survivor#jack ward#long time running#boxing#album spoof#ward v gatti#eda draws

i could just have larxene accidentally portal into aura's workroom. and 'who are you and what are you doing here' could be what they're fighting over. but no matter where i go with that in my mind it leads to what i affectionately call 'kingdom hearts bullshit' which would be very fun and an absolutely horrific way to set the mood for hatesex
#like i want larxy to see clonco and ponco so she can comment on their interactions w aura#but if i give them any more than a sliver of screentime they'll plunge the thing into slapstick#and if she doesn't get discovered by tweedledee and tweedledum then she gets discovered by aura#and either larxy has to come up w some insane lie based solely off of context clues (one-way ticket to comedy yet again)#or else larxy has to know enough to lie convincingly. in which case portalling to aura isnt an accident#and even if that didnt wicked colour the rest of the scene i dont want to have identity bullshit in there#and if she doesnt portal into the space centre then either she goes there bcos she knows about aura (see prev tags)#or she went to the space museum for a guided tour about space (deeply funny concept considering larxy's character)#sigh. is it possible to have a somewhat angsty 'she mentions her dead coworker/crush' hatesex scene blend with comedy? probs#is this an ambitious ask for someone who again has not written anything friskier than materfred? Yes#ill rotate it a bit more#larxquill

the fact that the iz fanbase is still at each other’s necks over ZADR is so. to me
#i don’t have an opinion on it at all by the way#i think it would take away from the comedy for zim to semi consciously admit to himself that he kinda needs dib#i don’t really care that zim is a 100yo space bug i just don’t think it would be as funny if they were aware of how gay their rivalry gets#i think most of the issue with zadr is just everyone takes everything too seriously#ESPECIALLY whatever JV spits out on twitter. once you realize he’s a massive troll he seems even cooler#but anyways#some fans would enjoy things way more if they took jhonen a bit less serious#and remembered that he was not the only person who worked on zim#johnny is different because he belongs like solely to jhonen’s mind mush and everything he says abt it is like. automatically canon#just a little rant#r

“The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.
To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.
To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.”
- The Restaurant at the End of the Universe (The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Secondary Phase), by Douglas Adams

📓!!!!
oh man okay. so i have this wip filed as "house flip" in my docs folder that i haven't touched since.......like february? so it's officially dead. anyway, basic plot was harrow -- estranged from her parents, in her mid-twenties, working some unspecified office job w ianthe -- finds out her parents have died, and is blatantly surprised to discover that they left everything to her in their will-- including their ancestral family home, situated in the middle of the woods, upstate. ianthe convinces harrow to go and have a look at it before she makes any big decisions, and harrow makes pal and cam come along for logistical (and moral support) reasons. they arrive to find the house is more than run-down, with part of the roof caved in. harrow, cam, and pal all agree that the hosue should be knocked down and the land sold, but ianthe, who is in the mood for funding a "fun summer project" (her words), declares they should stay and flip it instead.
from there, the plot splits into halves: the first of which contains harrow attempting to avoid making direct contact w gideon and pyrrha (who run home maintainence + renovation services in town), hired by ianthe to help them out with the flip. the other half of the plot is cam and pal becoming increasingly convinced that the house is haunted and/or cursed and trying to prove their hypothesis without getting in the way/making it obvious how dead serious they are abt the ghosts.
#my post#fuck off lou#tlt#the locked tomb#ask#ask game#fanfiction#my fanfiction#writing#my writing#harrowhark nonagesimus#ianthe tridentarius#camilla hect#palamedes sextus#there's like.....3.6k of set up written#and then i never got very much further w it#lots of solely dialogue chunks#most of it is comedy tho there was supposed to be some griddlehark on the horizon#anyway
