Season 19's squad is a fun batch.

So the airbase has a commander whose name is Sergeant. His rank is Lieutenant Colonel and his office is, of course, private.

so I've seen a lot of people wishing the cast of ghosts would appear together on taskmaster but what about the actual ghosts themselves? (let's just imagine everybody can see them for the purposes of this post... perhaps they all fell off the knappett) my initial thoughts are: robin would generally go for the more straightforward physical solutions before suddenly surprising everybody with an extremely cerebral move julian would attempt to bribe alex at every turn and get into fights with thomas when they're put into a team of two every single prize task he brings in is just a massive wad of cash of dubious origin the captain would get a crush on a distractingly handsome cameraman, keep nervously looking over at him and end up fumbling a task he was about to absolutely ace thomas spends so long deliberating over the exact meaning and wording of each task he never manages to actually finish any, completely breaking alex kitty is generally rubbish at the tasks but she has so much fun every time that she's a joy to watch and everybody is very charmed by - and protective of her - in the studio mary HATES alex's guts and spends every task roasting the shit out of him her whimsy and lateral thinking pay off big time in the final episode pat generally thrives but has one memorable breakdown after greg arbitrarily gives him one point, shouting, "what sort of game show is this anyway?? give me 'it's a knockout' over this rubbish any day!"

fanny walks out before they even start filming

I think it is something very telling about this website about the way we collectively talk about Plorn

It began with us giggling at his name

Then it went on to how Dickens piled on his expectations on him

How his own inherent worth as a son was not recognised

How he was sent to a difficult region at a young age, when it was evident he was not suited to be there

How Dickens was annoyed by a perceived lack of initiative

Most of all, we all see the forlorn and sad side to his life

Book the Second, Chapter Three: A Disappointment

“Allowing for my learned friend’s appearance being careless and slovenly if not debauched, they were sufficiently like each other to surprise, not only the witness, but everybody present, when they were thus brought into comparison. My Lord being prayed to bid my learned friend lay aside his wig, and giving no very gracious consent, the likeness became much more remarkable.”

happy ace week to this dialogue between Miss Pross and Mr. Lorry

Do you guys ever think about that when Della got back from the moon she didn’t move back into the mansion but instead decided to crash in Donald’s houseboat?

Ducktales 2017 is such a good show, more people should watch it. Owl House people looking for more? Gravity Falls fans? Amphibia? Looking for more mystery, found family and fun?

This is a great show for you. Especially for arospec folk like myself, it’s such a relief to find a show with so little romantic plot lines but still lots of platonic and familial love. It also changed my perspective on shows like it forever. It’s my favourite show of all time.

It’s the most realistic depiction of siblings I have ever laid my eyes on. It’s funny for all ages without defaulting to gross humour people think kids find funny. It’s so damn family driven. It has plenty of successful adult role models with no kids and/or no partners. My favourite character is only good as a coincidence. It is the only show ever where I have enjoyed the filler. It de-fridges the mum. The ‘main’ romantic subplot appears about three times, is more of a con artist-roguish hero dynamic than anything else, never goes anywhere and doesn’t feel wasted for it. It’s got magic. It’s got a Batman parody. It’s got a stacked cast for no reason. It’s got autism and adhd coded characters that showcase the spectrum. It’s got a British housekeeper who is also a spy. And a ghost butler. They hate each other. Lin Manuel Miranda is in it. It’s got a three part mega finale because it got cancelled like my other treasure trove tv shows (TOH). Every single character in this extensive family is developed and focused on at some point. They function how the Batfamily is in fanon. They scare the hell out of the rest of the world. They’re family.

I watch the final episode anytime I need creative motivation. I love this show so much.
