hnnng I need an easier to edit format. so this is it ! hi. :]

(current name + prns) : dirt. (it/gore/co/one)

loveless, heartless, unlovable, aroace, genderfluid, desifictoic, fictionkin, otherkin, endel.

I am an Ash endel, am plural (I will be the only one to speak, though), and have multiple neurodiversities.

alt is @di--rt , main is @ashacidic .

this is a system, d/a, irl, endel, kosian and kintype friendly icon + aesthetic blog. I do moodboards and icons.

[hadescavedish]

I think I had said it like three years ago that... in the past, the traditional writers (who hold traditional views)... didn't understand what their audience need, they have no idea what kind of men the audience want or how their aesthetic view was shaped, and whenever some character or actor went sex icon (or whatever they call it) in a way they don’t understand they will claim that is an unexpected or unlikely result. And three years later, after consuming more old medias, I know the fact still remains true. 

Three years ago I said that bc characters like Spock or Kerr Avon (not that I have that kind of interests) or things alike (and despite whatever views we have now, they sure did view them in that way in 70s or 80s) when the writers created them they determined they wouldn’t be characters who would convey that large amount of interests, especially from female fanbase (either purely liking the character for their own sake or romantic interests or any kind of fan interests). 

And now I just recalled the fact a newspaper said in the tribute article that Anthony Valentine was kind of “unexpected sex icon” (bc you know who he was playing in Colditz, uh, a very very pathetic character on the villain side of WW2 --- I kind of understand why they like it bc he was very pretty in a vulnerable and morbid way for that role, although I assume those fans from 70s saw it differently) and received countless fan letters and phone calls (although I would add they didn’t know Meres would be that well received among fans, either). And the fact McCallum received more fan mail than any other actor in the history of MGM while playing the stoic and nerdy Kuryakin (judging from the plot they wanted Solo to be “the ladies’ man” initially).

I think... the audience probably just wanted their characters to be different or look different from the society common ideal of people. (This is why I also think Sam Beckett’s crying works so well lol, bc you know, a man who is not afraid of crying --- that is a natural and progressive expression which contradicted to what traditional society shaped men to be)

Blue marks falsetto notes. Bold marks noteworthy performances. Underlines mark obscured notes. Italics mark non-melodic notes. Summary: While earning little recognition during his lifetime, Tim Buckley has become a sort of cult icon in the wake of his uncovering. Since Buckley's popularity reached a new plateau, his work has been widely lauded from his jazz-folk beginnings to his revolutionary avant-folk albums and his more accessible jazz-rock output as some of the most inventive songwriting of the '60s and early '70s. Along with his lyricist Larry Beckett, Buckley wrote a ton of material existing in live performances, compilation albums of multiple takes and outtakes to go along with his studio masters. Aside from his most ambitious work, and especially on his first three albums, Buckley has a very pleasant, soft, and laryngeal tone suited for folk music. He also wasn't afraid to thrown in rasp for his '70s jazz-rock material. Buckley's rather thin head voice can sometimes be indistinguishable from his falsetto, and both can be heard in their full glory on his most avant-garde album "Starsailor", where he employed anything from wailing harmonies, to yodeling and distorted snarling. Tim Buckley's disinclination to stay inside his comfort zone paints him as one of those artists whose experimentalism in new musical territories paved a way to which future, more sophisticated approaches owe a great deal to.

Castle Episodes (Season 3)

Here we go, the season 3 post:

3x01 A Deadly Affair: The beginning of the episode is so intense with Castle being a suspect and Beckett being mad at him (and jealous af) for not telling her that he was back in town and everything. Oh the tension. There’s this nice parallel where Alexis’ crush went away and said he’d call after he came back but he never did. Which is kinda the same situation as Beckett and Castle. And Castle is defending the guy and Martha is like “Oh Richard Castle, that is the stupidest reason I’ve ever heard. Have I taught you nothing about relationships?” They reference Breaking Bad “’We could always make meth.’ .. just like that cable show.” I love the episode. The fighting between Castle and Beckett is great. In the end, Castle is back, Alexis talks to her crush again.

3x02 He’s Dead, She’s Dead: Chet proposes to Martha. But Martha doesn’t quite know whether to marry him or not. Later in the episode, Chet dies. There’s also this medium’s daughter who has meaningful dreams sometimes. And she tells Beckett that an Alexander will be extremely important to her, he will save her life one day. Beckett doesn’t know what to make of that as she doesn’t know any Alexander. Later in the episode, we find out that Castle’s middle name is Alexander. And that he changed his middle name to Edgar because of Edgar Allan Poe and his last name to Castle. His given name is actually Richard Alexander Rodgers. The final scene between Martha and Castle is really sweet. “Richard, whatever mistakes I’ve made in my life, I raised a good man.”

3x03 Under the Gun: Alexis wants a scooter and it’s so hilarious how concerned and worried Castle is. He goes to Beckett for advice but she only makes his worries worse (by saying that every girl has a wild phase and the good girls are actually the worst). It’s hilarious how Castle chases a guy and jumps over a taxi and he yells “I’ve always wanted to do that!”, his excited face is priceless. AND THEN THERE’S JASON BEGHE I CAN’T STOP SCREAMING. I had no idea he was on Castle, this is too great omg. “Royce?” “Hey, kid, long time.” He trained Beckett when she left the Academy. His hair is longer than on Chicago PD. And it’s kinda weird to see him in this mentor role with Beckett instead of Lindsay (the Beckett-Royce relationship is more romantic though). The episode aired in 2010, a couple years before Chicago PD started. He’s so smiley though, it’s hilarious. I’m having so much fun right now. Also, it’s hilarious when an old guy manages to escape from Ryan and Esposito. Of course, Castle and Beckett tease them so bad with it, Castle put adult diapers on their desk and old-people-teeth. Back to Jason Beghe - I love how his character is SO different than Voight, yet there’s just his characteristics he can’t shake off (like the head node he does when talking). Mike Royce, Hank Voight. Even their names are similar, both one syllable each, first ending with a k sound. In the end, Beckett has to arrest Royce and that scene is so tough oh boy. Also, Alexis realizes that it was wrong to just sell something in order to get the money for the scooter. There’s this adorable hug and Castle goes “I’m so proud of you.”. Aw. I loved the episode.

3x04 Punked: This is the first time we hear (and meet) about Ashley, Alexis’ first proper boyfriend. Throughout the entire episode, Castle is a bit upset that Alexis didn’t tell him about her boyfriend. The episode is super entertaining - Castle thinks the killer is a time traveler. Esposito is assaulted by some guy and hurts his neck real bad which is used as a joke throughout the entire episode. The scene in which Castle meets Ashley for the first time is hilarious. He surprises them with a gun and Ashley is freaked out while Alexis is like “what the fuck dad”. And Castle is all strict and Ashley is so intimidated, and then when Ashley leaves, he goes “I like him” and Alexis just punshes him lol. Alexis has such a crush on Ashley, it’s adorable. Later, he asks Castle how you know when you’re in love and she goes on and on and says how the songs and poems make sense and more stuff. And later, Castle asks Beckett the same question and she goes “All the songs make sense”. Beckett goes out with a certain Josh. The final scene with Alexis and Castle though, where Alexis wants to go on a date and Castle goes “yeah, of cours,e sure, have fun” and she says “I meant with you, dad. You’ll always be my go-to-guy.” Their relationship is so important to me. He loves her so much.

3x05 Anatomy of a Murder: We get several Grey’s Anatomy references when Castle nicknames someone “McDreamy” and another one “McSteamy”. Castle is jealous when Gina surprises Alexis with super special concert tickets that he had just bought for her as well (just not the super special version). And Gina says “Whenever it comes to Alexis, you build a wall around her. Like you don’t want anyone get close to her.” In a conversation with Martha, Martha says to Castle that you’d know real love if one was willing to get the other out of prison. At the end of the episode, Beckett says “Don’t worry, Castle, I’d get you out [of prison]”. Oh my God, I need to gif that parallel.

3x06 3XK: The 3XK-Storyline starts in this episode. Also, Alexis has a “secret admirer” and I still somewhat wish it hadn’t just been Ashley but somehow connected to the case to get some drama. At some point, Castle is also worried about this secret admirer and who it really is. “He’s charming, in an asexual, non-threatening kind of way.” Alexis gets another letter where she’s supposed to meat her secret admirer in a public park. And Castle kinda freaks and goes “you’re so not meeting that guy” because he’s worried about her safety - after all, the admirer referred to Alexis’ hair as ‘flaxen’ which is blond and could be a connection to the 3XK killer. There’s no connection, though, it’s just Ashley. The motel at the end with the pool looks awfully familiar, though. I’m pretty sure I saw that one on The Mentalist and Criminal Minds before.

3x08 Murder Most Fowl: The abduction of a child really gets to Castle. At some point, he shares the story about Alexis who, when she was four years old, disappeared in a mall. Castle and security had looked everywhere and he had pictured all the worst case scenarios. They found her under some coats taking a nap. Castle mentions that he still dreams about this. 3x10 Last Call: I love the ending, where they all sing “Piano Man” and walk out of the precinct together.

3x11 Nikki Heat: Ryan plans on proposing to Jenny, he pops the question at the end of the episode and of course she says yes. Laura Prepon alias Nathalie Rhodes alias Nikki Heat is in this one. Alexis sounds like Molly had a cold while filming this episode. There’s some adorable scenes where Alexis talks about movies that she’s not allowed to see yet (age restriction thing) and she goes “It’s a great movie. ... If I’d seen it, which I haven’t.” Beckett gets more and more annoyed by Nathalie as the episode progresses, it’s hilarious, she’s so jealous. Ryan references “the list” which apparently is a list of celebrities that you could sleep with if you had the chance but were in a relationship. I remember this list was also mentioned on Friends. “If it’s so adorable, why didn’t you sleep with me” ICONIC. Ah, I just really enjoyed this episode.

3x12 Poof, you’re dead: Another familiar face! Vanessa Lengies is in this one. And it’s the first time we’re seeing Lanie and Esposito TOGETHER. I mean, together together. They are trying to hide it, but of course everyone knows what’s going on. Also, Castle and Gina end their relationship at the end of the episode.

3x13 Knockdown: The storyline on Beckett’s mother’s murder continues. Castle and Beckett are at a restaurant talking to someone when that someone gets shot. When Castle goes back home later, Martha is so worried. Castle says “You’re overreacting, mother. Where is this coming from?” and she goes “How the hell can you ask me something like that. Think about how much you love Alexis and that is how much I love you and don’t you dare ask me where this is coming from”. Beckett and Castle KISS. It’s just to distract someone but “that was amazing”, as Castle puts it (the way she took down the guy of course). And Castle goes “Always” when Beckett thanks him for saving her life. If I’m not completely wrong, it’s the first episode without Alexis in it :( It feels like we’re at that point now where Castle’s domestic life isn’t as fundamental to the show as it was in seasons one and two.

3x14 Lucky Stiff: Ryan tells Esposito that they all know about him and Lanie. Martha inherits 1,000,000$ from Chet’s death but she doesn’t feel comfortable with getting all the money since she had planned on breaking up with him before he died. She doesn’t know what to do and talks to Beckett, and ends up opening “The Martha Rodgers School of Acting”. Also, can I just say how ridiculously good Beckett and Castle look in this season (so far)? I mean, sure, they both are good looking people. But Beckett looks so pretty and her hair is gorgeous. And Castle looks exactly like if you merged season1Castle and season7castle. His face is smoother, like it was in the early seasons, but his hair is more like in the later seasons. I can’t describe it properly but I like it.

3x15 The Final Nail: “Mom and Dad are fighting”. The case is really personal to Castle because the victim’s husband is a guy he met in boarding school who published his writing and told him he had talent. The guy that pushed him to become a writer. Alexis’ valentine’s day gift for Ashley is perfect. A photo of Ash’s rat Theodore in a frame that says “true love”. As Castle describes it “heart-felt, yet humorous”. Also, Alicia Coppola is in this episode (I know her as Faith Coleman in NCIS).

3x16 Setup: I love how dramatic and serious the beginning is and you don’t know what’s going on - and then “36 hours earlier”. There’s an adorable scene at the Castle residence where Martha wants to take Alexis on a spiritual retreat but she doesn’t want to, so she mouths something to Castle, so that he’ll tell her not to go. And Castle says “Phys..physi..physics! Physics exam! Don’t you have a Physics exam on Monday?” and afterwards “Best dad ever”. It’s so cute. Later, though, he sends Alexis with Martha because there’s a possible nuclear threat and he wants them safe <3. His face when he tells her to go, though. The episode ends with Becktt and Castle trapped in that ice truck thing. Cliffhanger!

3x17 Countdown: If I’m not totally mistaken, this is the first episode-adjusted-titlecard. WIth the title card all icy and blue. They found Castle and Beckett just in time because Alexis (who returned with Martha earlier than planned because she was so anxious about her exam) called Ryan, asking about Castle because he wasn’t at home. Castle returns home where Martha and Alexis were already waiting for him and he tells them to go to the Hamptons. It’s so intense, he just wants them safe. These two episodes are full of Caskett moments that make you go “how does it take you guys 1.5 more seasons to get your acts together”. I was just missing a Castle/Alexis/Martha reunion at the end.

3x18 One Life to Lose: Beckett is such a shipper and such a fangirl of “Temptation Lane” lol. Also, THERE’S DAVID EIGENBERG. He looks so different than Christopher Herrmann though :’) But good to see him :)

3x19 Law & Murder: Castle knows that Alexis is lying about her plans because of the way her nose crinkles. How adorable is this. Not so adorable, though, is Castle’s behavior to figure out what Alexis is doing: he tracks her phone. Later, Alexis figures out Castle is lying to her because of that nose thing. “You have the best kid in the world” aww. Later, Alexis tells Castle why she was in that neighborhood she wasn’t supposed to be in. Some friends of her where shoplifting and they pressured her to do it as well, but she didn’t and late felt guilty about the stolen stuff, so she went back to pay for it. Castle is like “why are you friends with them anyway” “it’s not that simple” aww bb :(

3x20 Slice of Death: “Every inch of my body is telling me to protect her” <3 Alexis is upset because her best friend is acting weird. It’s so adorable how worried Castle is. God I just love their relationship. “...and then one day, one of you ends up in a pizza oven” lol Castle, good comparison. “Did you kick her ass?” “kinda did” “Good girl” <3 the ending is also super cute when Castle drove all the way across the bridge to get THE pizza for him and Alexis.

3x22 To Love and Die in LA: IT’S HANK VOIGHT AGAIN. I mean.. Mike Royce. I just love how similiar those two names are. And then his real name Jason Beghe.. so different. Noooo he’s dead :( Castle and Beckett travel to LA. Lanie and Esposito kiss on-screen for the first time. AAAAH OMG THAT’S BEN WARRAN GROM GREY’S. “I’m still amazed by the depth of your strength, your heart.” “You’re not so bad yourself, Castle”. And then there’s this silence where they just look at each other and you’re screaming “NOW KISS”. “Come and find me” plays and these idiots still don’t get it right. There’s also the scene where Beckett gets out of the pool and she just looks smoking hot. I swear, if I only looked half as good, I’d take selfies non stop and feel so good about myself omg. THe ending is really emotional. Of course they catch Royce’s killer. On the plane back to New York, Beckett reads a letter from Royce where basically he tells her to just go for it and admit to the feelings she has for Castle. And there’s “Just Breathe” playing which makes it even more beautiful.

3x23 Pretty Dead: Alexis is heartbroken because her boyfriend Ashley wants to study at Stanford. Then, Ashley decides to stay in New York but Alexis feels guilty for standing in his way, so she breaks up with him, so that he’ll make his own choice. He decides to go to Stanford but lets Alexis know (through Castle lol he actually went to the precinct) that he thinks long-distance could work. Bellamy Young is in that episode, hi Beth :) We meet Montgomery’s wife and he also announces he’s gonna retire in a year but Beckett says that he always says that, so it’s all good. In the end, Alexis decides to apply to Stanford for early admission and lol Castle’s reaction is too hilarious, I’M pissing myself. He’s literally just saying “what” four times and his face oh my God I couldn’t describe it properly. It’s... hilarious.

3x24 Knockout: I don’t really know what to say about the episode. It’s such a thrill, such a ride, so emotional. And then you see Montgomery’s wife crying with her two children next to her and you think the episode is over and then boom, Beckett is shot. Gonna get started on season 4 later today and I’ll publish that season 4 post when I’m done with that season, like I did with season 3.
