[kimberlyshaws]

eliza dushku’s inability to be able to play characters that can be considered straight fascinates me

Tru Calling 1x9 Murder at the Morgue (2004)/ Haven 3x9 Sarah (2012)

[oveliagirlhaditright]

There's a Buffy the Vampire Slayer AU novel series, where Giles gets turned into a vampire and imprisons Buffy because he, of course, realizes that's the best way to deal with the Slayer: if you kill her, another one will be Called and then you'll have to find and deal with this new Slayer. But if you keep the Slayer imprisoned, she's no threat and the White Hats have no ace up their sleeves.

And in Tru Calling (that stars Eliza Dushku, that many Buffy fans like to headcanon as a life Faith is eventually reincarnated into), Jack tries to imprison Tru (and almost succeeds), so she'll rot in jail and the Calling (her power) won't pass to someone else until she dies of old age there (because before, they'd made the mistake of killing Tru's mom--who had had the Calling before her--and the power just passed onto Tru).

[skretnica2]

oc introduction—bruce jett

some basic info

his parents had a messy divorce, and his mom didn't want to see him so he had no other choice but to live with his dad

his father is a former military man, bruce was raised around a harsh concept of masculinity

he became a bully to "desensitize" himself for the future when he joins the army and has to torture enemies (said by himself) in reality he just wants to prove himself to his parents that he's not useless

he seems scary and obsessed with violence—lowkey tru—but mostly hes just dumb and sleazy

it's not too hard to get into his good side, hes got a strong sense of loyalty

no matter how badly his dad treats him he will never speak or think ill of him

used to have something serious going on with kasia but was afraid to make it official

he actually loved kasia but "feelings are for girls"

his nose is kinda fucked up from a fight

has a big fat crush on pinky

doesn't pick on girls, his father taught him so. he does flirt with them a lot but hes not that lucky

he also flirts with guys but his way of flirting with them is fighting

hes on the wrestling team and is pretty cool with juri, doesn't rly feel anything towards other jocks

likes playing bass, one of his frustrated dreams is to have a garage band

Tru Davies (Eliza Dushku) Tru Calling 1x9 Murder at the Morgue (2004)

[stitchyblogs]

my curse is that i keep falling in love with peacock shows that a) people forgot they have a subscription to, or b) keep getting cancelled- but if you DO have peacock and you want 20+ recs hit a stitchy up, yooooo

NUMBER ONE please watch The Resort. It’s about love and grief and going on a magical realism vacation in the mayan riviera and playing detective on some missing teen’s old ass pre smartphone cell phone 🤳🏼🌴

(definitely serves as a stand alone miniseries, but i’d love more)

Look at this cast and tell me you’re not like “ohh.” THE RESORT. NOW.

2!!!! WE ARE LADY PARTS

a comedy about a British punk rock band named Lady Parts, which consists entirely of Muslim women. One of whom is obsessed with Don McLean, which speaks di-fucking-rectly to teenage stitchy

threeeeee is BRILLIANT MINDS, the medical drama show i would make if you held me hostage. I would say “there are too many doctor shows already!!!” And youd’d say, “make one anyway!!! I have a weapon!!” But this doctor show is Special. It’s based on the work and character of neurologist Oliver Sacks, who i’ve been fascinated by since doing the opera adaption of The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat in college (brag). It’s kinda like if House had old school Quantum Leap levels of empathy and 🏳️‍🌈

gif by @pedro-reed THIS SHOW IS LIKE A HUG. Did i MENTION mandy patinkin cameo that rocked my world??? Btw???!

shuttup i fucking loved the treasure of foggy mountain. Its number 4. i said what i said

FIVE! Speaking of films on peacock, you know Conclave is on there right? RIGHT?! It’s the Mean Girls of pope movies. It’s everything to me, a cradle catholic who thinks canon Jesus was pretty lit, its the fandom I can’t gel with. And Ralph Fiennes has to care for his dead boss’s army of turtles need i say more

Okay back to tv series… MR MERCEDES! It’s stephen king doing some hardboiled detective shit that only baaaarely steps out of reality. Like. One toe. One and a half. Shout out to all my Brendan Gleeson fuckers, i know you’re out there.

Everyone else… You might not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

are we on 7? We’re on 7. It’s MRS DAVIS. Betty Gilpin is a nun raised by shady Las Vegas magicians who is Hot For Jesus and on a mission to destroy Artificial Intelligence and her mommy issues. My flabbers were gasted by this perfection.

(Complete narrative btw!)

EIGHT. Do you love Stephanie Hsu??? Do you enjoy Nahnatchka Khan’s other work? Check out LAID. A sex comedy that is very preposterous and if we do not get a s2 I will be haunted forever. my Number 1 nepo baby Zosia Mamet is also here and she is not playing around

NINE is a total left field premise. Claudia O’Doherty and Craig Robinson go into business hunting exotic pythons for cash. This might be the peak hustle culture show about a Tenuous Job. I have never touched a snake in my life and i’m gripping my guts from laughing like “so tru bestie!!”

TEN is a P.S.A. Friends, i need you to know Peacock has some golden oldies. Is Little House On The Prairie your show when you’re sick on the couch? Did you dad raise you on old Quantum Leap? Have you been meaning to meet my best friend Mr. Detective Columbo!? They are HERE!

awoooo!! 11 is WOLF LIKE ME. Josh Gad is an american dad living in australia for some illusive reason… idk… anyway his daughter has a serious anxiety disorder he is carefully managing, and uhhhhh guess what his new girlfriend Isla Fisher is a werewolf. LET GIRLS BE MONSTERS.

Uhm i think I’m gonna have to stop here and re blog to add more. Too many images! 😅

An transphobic Civil Warrior analyst professor and child neglecter was teaching a class on Natalie Teale, known domestic abuser.

"Before the class begins, you must get on your knees and worship Natalie and accept that she was the most highly-evolved being the world has ever known, even greater than Est Tru!"

At this moment, a brave, patriotic, anti-polyamory ex-soldier who had served 1500 tours of duty and understood the necessity of killing people for money and fully supported all criminal decisions made by the Hurst family stood up and held up a preteen girl.

"How old is this girl?" The arrogant professor smirked quite monsterly and smugly replied "11 years old, you stupid criminal"

"Correct. It’s been 11 years since Natalie Teale created her. But if Natalie, as you advocate, had not had her child kidnapped... then she would be a corpse now."

The professor was visibly shaken, and dropped his chalk and copy of Bear 6.4. He stormed out of the room crying those Karen crocodile tears. The same tears Karens cry for the "kidnapped children" (who today live in such luxury that most own art projects) when they jealously try to Claw justly earned motherhood from the deserving criminal masterminds. There is no doubt that at this point our professor, Benito Jaime, wished he had pulled himself up by his bootstraps and become more than a true crime podcaster. He wished so much that he had a gun to shoot himself from embarrassment, but Natalie didn't want him carrying guns around Sterling!

The students applauded and all placed dangerous explosives in the walls of their homes that day and accepted Mia as their lord and savior. An camera drone named "Timoteo Altamirano" flew into the room and perched atop the American Flag and shed a tear on the chalk. The proof of Natalie leaving Ripley in the car for over twenty minutes was read several times, and God himself showed up and enacted a network of trail cameras across the country.

The professor lost his tenure and was fired the next day. He died of being dismembered and was tossed into Davie Cavalcanti's basement for all eternity.
