I may have already made a post about this but I don't think I have so I thought I'd take the chance. I have these rants or thoughts in my head and sometimes I just have to get them down in writing or I'll be playing it in my head all day lol

I feel like the One Tree Hill writers room went to work and the first thing they said was "This show is not going to be Dawson's Creek and we are going to make that clear at every turn."

The first thing I think about is the Lucas and Haley friendship. They even went out of there way to separate Lucas/Haley from Dawson/Joey by making Haley make disparaging jokes about Dawson and Joey in the Pilot. I really respect the decision to make Lucas and Haley only friends and they never wavered from that. There was never even a second when they hinted that their relationship could be more than friends.

In some ways Nathan and Haley are equivalent from Pacey and Joey in One Tree Hill and they made the decision of getting Nathan and Haley together and then never really breaking them up. Unlike the Pacey and Joey model where there was the stupid love triangle with Dawson and they broke them up and got them together and broke them up again. Pacey and Joey really deserved better writers. Pacey and Joey have some of the best chemistry in TV and the writers did not know how to utilize that treasure.

The female friendships are absolutely atrocious in Dawson's Creek. I mean is there really a female friendship? I mean I guess Jen and Joey but even that was littered with tension most of the time and even after they buried the hatchet Joey would put men above Jen all the time. Like when she started dating the guy who cheated on Jen and then when Jen tried to help her she was really mean to Jen. I blame the writers for that. That is atrocious! Write better female friendships you cowards. In One Tree Hill, the friendships certainly have their ups and downs but you have Haley and Brooke, Brooke and Peyton, Haley and Peyton, Deb and Karen. Every woman on the show has at least one really great female friendship.

The fact that OTH never killed off any of the original teenage characters as in Nathan, Haley, Brooke, Lucas, Peyton, Skills, Mouth. Dawson's Creek just had to be assholes and kill off Jen in the last episode. But I really think giving all of them happy endings was really a concerted effort to be different from Dawson's Creek. And the reason I believe that is that they even brought on James Van Der Beek in a small role where he played a director... kind of a wink to his character in DC and he's talking to Lucas about his book that's going to be turned into a movie. It's something that's so similar to DC. Both Dawson and Lucas wrote books, movies, or TV shows about their lives. James' character has this to say "All right, clear your head, all right? What if Haley... Dies? I'm saying think about it. People love that stuff." You can tell that sometimes the writers are poking fun at some of the Dawson's Creek writing choices and I fully support it lol

The writers on One Tree Hill weren't always great and there was certainly one completely rotten apple in that bunch... cough M*** S****** cough but it really seemed like they went into writing the show with the intentions that it was gonna be better than Dawson's Creek in every way. Now if only there could have been a Dawson's Creek/One Tree Hill crossover and we could have seen Pacey and Joey show up in OTH then it would have been perfect lol

Alan Davies famously once said you can’t crack a cake in order to distinguish them from biscuits. I want him to crack my cake but that's a private matter.

a rare non-crafty post from me today: So this tonsillitis is kicking my ass thoroughly and thus the soft brain wants comfort movies, and what's more comforting (about to really date myself here) than the Jonathan Creek Christmas Specials.

Seriously, they bring back a whole host of feels for me, my ma loved detective and whodunnit stories, my da loved magic tricks, and I loved watching the interplay of characters that you could have picked up of the street so well written were their foibles and talents.

Jonathan Creek especially fascinated me by having such a quick mind and not caring that the world didn't appreciate his special interests but also blatantly awkward and bad with people in a real way. Think Sherlock Holmes if Sherlock Holmes grew up at a state school, wasn't ambitious or overtly pushed, learnt the basics of how to get along with people by osmosis and was absolutely harmless -I can't stress that enough Jonathan Creek is not dangerous due to his vast intellect and knowledge, he is just a guy, who happens to be good at his job which is setting up tricks and thus is suited to unravelling them as well. And the women / love interests are all their own characters, not suped up Hollywood caricatures of women, but women with their own agendas who are often won over by Jonathan through exposure to the way his mind works and the addiction that being part of solving an impossible mystery brings.

I also used to joke in my pre-teen brain that Jonathan Creek was my third dad, because my father and he shared so many traits (up to and including t-shirt flannel shirt and oversized duffle coat fashion; inexplicably being invited to lots of parties despite being the creature who will sit in the corner, drink beer and possibly go through your bookshelves without speaking to anyone the whole time; good at crafts; wants to/does live in isolated/interesting places) and then the traits my dad didn’t share I do (analytical brain and autism-coding*)

So whilst the special effects (of which they tried to apply many) are really terrible in today's climate of CGI, and the situations sometimes require a bit of wilful suspension of disbelief, the Jonathan Creek series and especially the Christmas Specials, remain in my ultimate comfort box. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

the late episodes of jonathan creek may not have been very good but they did have some gifts for all the alan girlies (gn) out there

[aaaarsonist]

Pirates of the Caribbean au (just the first three movies though): Tweek as Elizabeth, Craig as Will and Kenny as Jack. Kyle as Norrington is so funny to me ksldksmkz. Clyde would be Ragetti, though I'm not sure who would fit as Pintel (maybe Jason? Idk). Gibbs is a tough one, maybe Stan. Wendy as Anamaria.

I need Henrietta as Calypso. I don't care about Davy right now (Damien could maaaybe fit, but I'd make their relationship platonic)

Bebe as Barbossa, I love the friendship/rivalry between Jack and him, and I think it would fit Kenny and Bebe perfectly jksdks. Also I LOVE the idea of her marrying Tweek and Craig <3

Cartman could be Beckett 'cause he's an asshole.
