the managers' plotline: we need a safety pin to solve the mystery of how the opera ghost keeps stealing our money!

christine's plotline:

#gaston leroux is a comedic genius honestly like the fact that these things are happening simultaneously #that’s poetic cinema babey #(‘poetic cinema’ i whisper quietly as i read a novel originally published a century ago)#phantom of the opera #poto shitpost #poto #gaston leroux

being in the acd Sherlock Holmes fandom is so crazy like you know how people will read hundreds of fics about their otp falling in love in slightly different universes? We get to do that but with like,, canon tv shows and stuff

#Honestly I’m amazed the ship johnlock has lasted this long #Its creators hate it #it’s over a century old #By all accounts it should have faded into oblivion long long ago #Thank goodness it didn’t #sherlock holmes #dr john watson #john watson #acd johnlock #johnlock #acd sherlock holmes #acd holmes #bbc sherlock #enola holmes #bbc johnlock #sherlock bbc #I know there’s like a billion variations of this fandom that’s the whole point of the post I’m just too lazy to tag them all #granada holmes

Prompt 130

So. Danny, Ellie and Jazz are definitely Not on the run. They’re definitely not. They’re definitely not huddled up in an abandoned corner of Gotham being kept warm and guarded by Fright Knight, who has definitely not let his whole humanoid shape disappear into a more amorphous one of Fear and Shadow and Flame to keep everyone away.

They’re definitely not alone now, their parents definitely aren’t dead now. They’re definitely not stitching up Danny or stabilizing Ellie. They’re not making a sling for Jazz’s broken arm and crying as the ghost of Autumn tries to soothe his ghostlings wards.

#dcxdp #dpxdc #prompts #dad fright knight #the GIW took Ellie and the fenton family did a rescue mission #Maddie and Jack didn't make it #Tucker and Sam are still in Amity with Val to keep everything under control there #The teens are grieving #the fentons weren't the best parents but they Tried and they loved them #Everything was looking up! They'd accepted Danny and Ellie and then This happened #They might be teens for humans but for the Realms they're infants who just lost their parents #Clockwork can't adopt them thanks to being chained by the observants centuries ago #so Fright Knight is stepping up as their temporary guardian that might become permanent #Fright Knight is the Ancient of Autumn

whoever edited that bsd official art to make it look like chuuya is holding onto dazai’s arm will be put on trial for irrevocably changing my brain chemistry and making me so much worse

the original and the edit in question. this artwork really makes me crave a mid to late 19th century historical au where Chuuya is a swordsman struggling with changes to his job due to the meiji restoration and with Dazai as a detective/private investigator who hires Chuuya as his bodyguard when a seemingly harmless investigation turns dangerous. they kind of hate each other (as per usual) but Chuuya needs the job and Dazai, while he proclaims to dislike chuuya, is also very smitten with chuuya’s fighting style and temper (as per usual).

#also the person who edited that bsd dead apple official art to make it look like they are holding hands will be put in jail without a trial #the red ribbon tangled around their intertwined hands 😵‍💫#<- does that person know the impact and damage that edit did to society?#oh yeah btw I’m not sure if the clothes fit mid - late 19th century but those decades make for a cool setting #bungo stray dogs #bungou stray dogs #bsd fanart #soukoku #skk #bsd dazai #chuuya nakahara #osamu dazai #bsd chuuya #my art #bsd #I need more skk historical aus :( if I had the time and a solid story idea (more than just the vibes) I would write this #although I feel like I wouldn’t be able to do that setting justice with my current knowledge about mid to late 19th century japan #I finished this one a month ago and just didn’t post it because there was stuff that I wasn’t happy with (finally managed to fix them lol)

so REVENGE, HUH? or justice, if that makes you feel better. it tastes the same when cooked just right. 'I REALLY WANTED A BROTHER.' such a shame to burn a bridge you so desperately wanted to keep, especially when it wasnt even you who started the fire. especially when you hope that not a single fragment of that bridge ever washes ashore.[MAY IT ROT FAR FROM MY SIGHTS] an unfortunate loss! atleast he has his friends.

#jrwi fanart #jrwi show #jrwi prime defenders #jrwi prime defenders spoilers #jrwi pd spoilers #jrwi pd #william wisp #vyncent sol #THIS ONE IS FUUUUCKIN OOOOOLLDD RAAAHHHHH i made it like. a year ago. but didnt finish it for so so long bc i just wasnt happy w it.#BUT LIKE A CENTURY EGG the decades of being encased in salt n lime n ash have done WELL to bring out the flavores of this piece #i sorta recently cleaned it up and posted it onto twitty. didnt tag it bc it was SO OLD AND SCUFFED(i see so many MISTAKES NOW)#that i didnt want to expose it to the open air just like that #if i show smth to my small circles then it shall only be understood in those small circles.#open air and open interpretation from minds i cannot predict are NOT something i enjoy the thought of. usually. i am brave tho #BUT EVERYONE ON TWITTY WAS SO NICEEE i was like damn... i guess it IS good enough to be enjoyed by the masses...#lets work on being nicer to our art together. THAT BEING SAID. i really love my colors here HELL YEAHHHH #FIRST TIME IN A WHILE COLORIN THESE BOYS.... i dont use proper color enough..I ALSO RLY LIKE MY BACKGROUNDS HERE #i LOVE when the bg is hyperrealistic (i frankestiened stock photos) and when the subjects are all flat colored n cartoony #recently rewatched Making Fiends and they do that similar thing!! soft shading! lotsa details! almost painted? ill paint one day #ive already rambled so much abt the art im runnin out of ROOm to ramble about WWWIILLIAM GODDAMN WWIIIISP. its been a minute since i saw-#-this episode..but i DO remember the funny smoke trick that will did to his funny brother.

Henry ‘Chips’ Channon: The Diaries (Vol. 1), 1918-38, entry for 12th September 1923

—

Wednesday 12th September

We play golf all day and occasionally motor to North Berwick or Edinburgh. Lord Balfour and others come to luncheon. Lady Curzon ever the divine of hostesses has brough her milieu with her and this is a very sophisticated Scotch life. She leaves us sometimes to motor to Dalmeny to take tea with Lord Rosebery,¹ who she says is still seductive and gallant. When Irene Curzon arrived a few nights ago I dressed as an Oxford don and quite mystified her with sneezing and philosophical platitudes at dinner and abominable bridge after. She thought she had never met such a bore . . . .

—

Archibald Philip Primrose (1847-1929) succeeded his grandfather in 1868 as 5th Earl of Rosebery, was created Earl of Midlothian in 1911, and was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1894 to 1895.

Throwback to when Mappa fed us with wholesome Levihan fluff instead of a truckload of pain
