i think what would be really important to me if i were to write a band au for anything ever is they cant be good or very successful. their gigs have got to be shitty theyre playing in welfares and half-packed student unions and community centres and villlage halls they manage to book one tour in a horrible van and its shit and the weathers shit and some people really do like them and they might get a few breaks here and there but they are not going to be rockstars it just cant be in the cards for them. chekhovs band for me if i introduce a band at the start of the thing they have to have failed and had sex with each other by the end of it

"I understand what you're saying Prowl, and I think your plan was-" (Stupid. Say Stupid.) "- not well thought out. Or at the very least, decided carelessly and with little concern for those under you."

"The DJD had been there long enough, if they had wanted the land they would have taken it by then. I just don't see the point of the risk. I never once had a full clinic while I worked there. Always stragglers and those unfortunate enough to be sent to the clinic. It's part of why the quotas were so hard." He explains.

"It was empty, Prowl. The whole clinic was in shambles by the time I even arrived. You sent me out there alone and you did not care the outcome."

The passive aggressive tone is of no surprise to Pharma, but it still manages to get under his plating and anger him further.

"Considering the positioning of Delphi, no, I expected you to fear the worst. But I also expected you, the position you are in, to try and offer some means of support. For someone so concerned about a medic deceased in your employment, you didn't seem too interested in preventative care." Pharma keeps his voice steady, standing his distance and keeping his glare fixed upon Prowl.

"Necessary? The place was a ghost town, Prowl. It was abandoned and in disarray when I arrived. I made do with what it had to offer. What point was there in sending anyone out there?"

Normally give some fig leaf disclaimer about not attempting to armchair diagnose anyone or understand them through the heuristics of the clinic, which I do actually believe, but as a functional shorthand, you know,

so cool that Vince Gilligan's new show stars two women in their early 50s and 40s :)

I had no idea that there's an entire audio recording of Sondheim playing and singing Sweeney Todd for backers way back in the late 70s, oh my god

This was apparently done to try to convince people to become backers and fund the show, because Sondheim and Prince had trouble raising money for the show.

This recording goes up to "Not While I'm Around", apparently because Sondheim wasn't finished the end of the score at the time. It's just great being able to hear Sondheim perform so much of the show and I can't believe we have this recording. You can even hear some early lyrics that were later discarded ("Poor Thing" in particular)

I also love how Hal Prince was about to completely spoil the end of the show, but Sondheim and the small audience stopped him lol

Sparta royal family headcanons?? Any generation.

I HAVE A LOT AND PROBABLY HAVE TO RESEARCH MORE BUT I DO!!!! >:D Thank you for the ask!!! *headbonks*

So we don't know much info with Hippocoon and how that went down yet other than basics YET or if I plan for him to be a half-brother to Icarius and Tyndarius. BUt Icarius and Tyndarius are opposites in that Tyndarius is a worrywart and Icarius is just vibing most of the time. Tyndarius is also just dealing with more stuff...they're their generation's version of Agamemnon and Menelaus in a way with how one brother takes a lot of the brunt for the other except both have a happy ending :'D )

Also, neither are the best fighters as while Sparta was pretty big on military they were exiled for a bit. Another thing with them, being half-naiad, (and being surrounded by others like them), it makes it kind of easy to tell when one of your kids is fucking with one of your advisors as they can feel the water being moved as well. It's harder for Icarius though as his children are more naiad than him. It's easy for Tyndarius as Clytemnestra is less naiad than him. Kind of go into that here, just not with the specific family dynamics :D Also might change some things

I didn't plan for naiads and naiad-born to really have scales but now I'm kind of coming around to it because I just KNOW Tyndarius picks at them and Leda has to do the whole "stop that". (might have to redo that post I did on naiads because of it, or maybe just have a poll just for the homies :P might be skin colored and just be different skin texture. idk for sure) Also while Icarius and his whole family are pretty okay about water and spend a lot of time in the water as Periboea is a Naiad and all his children are 3/4th naiad, Tyndarius often forgets that he needs to get into the water every once in a while. Leda doesn't technically need it and his children are only 1/4th so they don't need it as often.

Leda: Dear, when was the last time you went for a swim? You've been looking over those tablets for a while, I'll take over. loosely based on clay records found at Knossos :P I think they're neat. LINEAR B, BITCHES! Tyndarius: Oh, it has been a bit! Let me finish this one up before I do. Leda, getting annoyed at him scratching at himself just dumps a pot of water over him: Better? Tyndarius: Yeah, actually! :D

It's...sometimes a bit of a problem when you're a person who needs to be damp often and two of your children kind of always have a lot of static electricity :'D

I know Leda and Tyndarius have affection for one another, but I don't really have a plan for how they got together :P I DO kind of for Icarius and Periboea though! :D All I know is that Icarius being a runner, it's really funny to me to think this guy, being half-naiad, just fucking RUNS on water for funsies, which annoyed Periboea when he's back from exile. Plan for them to have a pretty happy marriage, though sadly, that's not the case for all their children :') and that's part of the reason why he tries to get Penelope to stay in Sparta as he's overprotective of them all while also desperately not wanting them to have feuds like what happened to him and Tyndarius.

Lil bit of spoiler but...Hermione was 5 years old when her mom was kidnapped and she was a bit traumatized by it. :') as she kind of got to see it happen

This week’s had many high points but one of the quieter ones for me was finally having my own room where I can put @naniiebimworks ‘s Biblically Accurate Aziraphale up on my cabinet to totally reflect my LED bed lights like my Mica Door used to.

listening to a local station on the radio is so weird (positive). i'm used to holiday radio music sounding basically all the same. all the big stations that played christmas music back home had basically the same mix of songs, except maybe one would mix in a little bit more recent covers while another might stick to the classics. it would be maybe a song or two, then like 3 ads, then another couple songs, then 4 ads (with 2 being the same as last time around) over and over.

this one's been playing songs i've never heard before, or covers/remixes i've never heard before. the only ads i've heard were "hi i live in this city and i donate to this station cuz they played great music during my best memory" and "hey do you work for a charity/community org and need somewhere to hold an event? we're the radio station and we have a space you can use, contact us". its so fucking nice
