I JUST WATCHED THE SHAPE OF WATER… I love them sm. If anyone knows some happy/fluffy post-movie fanfics PLEASE share 🙏🏻 I want Elisa and the asset to live happily ever after pleasepleaseplease…

[issela-santina]

Four magical scenes set in open water, where light has a diminished reach.

Our Flag Means Death — As Edward “Blackbeard” Teach lingers in the open water, before him is a vision of his lover Stede Bonnet, trident in hand, as a merman with a fabulous goldfish-like tail.

Mr. Queen — Jang Bong-hwan is held and kissed by a princess, Kim So-yong (later Queen Cheol-in), who had swum to him from out of nowhere. A green aurora-like light forms a wide circle around the two.

The Shape of Water — The Asset kisses Eliza Esposito, whose red dress opens up in the water while her left shoe drifts away from her foot. Not that she needs it any longer.

Swiss Army Man — Hank discovers a bit of a win-win upon kissing the lips of the undead Manny, who bubbles with air through a grin.

Akatsuki ships like random gifs of couples from random romantic movies, cause I’m sad and I need self comfort:

Kakuhida: Noah Calhoun & Allie Hamilton from the Notebook, ‘cause toxic love is their language.

Kisaita: Eliza Esposito & The Amphibian Man from the shape of water. A lonely woman falling in love with a semi-human marine creature, who is far more human than many of the ones who surround her

Pain and Konan: Einar Wegner/Lili Elbe & Gerda Wegener from The Danish Girl. Just a lot of angst from a woman completely devoted to her partner, who is like two people in one and is constantly having a battle with everyone and themself.

Sasodei: Sam Wheat & Molly Jensen from Ghost. Do I really need to explain why? Neverending honeymoon phase, art, eternal love and suffering over one partner’s death and the trauma of leading with it? Yep, sounds like sasodei to me.

c3x12 poof you’re dead

I loooove this. Mum was super excited abt it.

(clipping this) LANIE OMG ESPOSITO (I love him just lying over her like that, so cute) (the music is just so good & well designed) WAIT WHAT THIS IS INSANE THIS IS GREAT LMAO (those puppydog eyes XD) HE JUST TAKES A PHOTO OF HER (& they both know exactly where their phones are)

(clipping this too) Oh no not gina Oh No, castle wait esposito no wait wait  & esposito’s just like 

& his voice just jumps a fifth

I remember my magic phase. Still have some gear. Is ice cubes a sex thing? That’s why castle was all slammed against the window? (I made the sign of the cross & made use of the internet. Apparently it is just a kind of temperat)

As always I love their outfits. Esposito with his t shirt then hoodie then jacket, ryan with his cute pink, beckett just always fashionable, dr parish she’s just cute no matter what, castle in his usual style but I like the jacket...

Lanie says she does not like magic shows here (keep this in mind)

Lanie you were the one to tell javier not to look at you & now you’re checking him out? Hun...

Eliza’s voice is so cute & little. 

Castle just bought himself stuff while there? ofc.

Wait ryan is wearing a pink suit, burgundy tie, but he is wearing brownish vest AND a suit jacket AND he is holding ANOTHER jacket. Girl what season is it? Must be cold.

Poughkeepsie?

RC: x-ray specs. I can see you naked. KB: How do you like my naval ring? RC: !! (clipping this?)

KR: Looks like somebody has a secret. JE: *gulp* secret? ah- What secret? KR: I can understand a guy not wanting to share~ I mean, some things are personal.  JE: *puppydog eyes* JE: >:( How did you find out? KR: Dude everybody knows. *grabs paper without even looking* It’s all over page six JE: o-o *sighs in relief & then starts reading* *smiles* KR: Apparently he & ex-wife/girlfriend/publisher/Gina had some words, Loud Words, at le cirque & she stormed off JE: : ) that’s what he was talking about this morning KR: What I don’t understand is why he would try to hide it from us. (definitely fishing.) I mean, we’re like family. JE: Maybe he’s afraid of what we might think KR: *his little face* (clipping this?)

(apparently I clipped both at the same time)

Aspenall? That’s a drug.

Oof. Heck of a night for this guy.

*turns to castle for some reason* Why is she asking me that? RC: She wants to know if you have an alibi

RC: Did it take him very long [to read your mind]? No RC: didn’t think so

KB: Like this? *holds up phone* RC: *gasp!* You had your hand in my pocket & I didn’t even feel it?! Do it again. I reverse-pickpocketed my friends before. Stole one guy’s earbuds & put them in someone else’s pocket. idk why. 

(CLIPPING ZALMAN’S WHEARABOUTS BC SHE almost MESSED IT UP)

So the only thing he killed last night were his brain cells

Ooh arson & explosives! Street performer! As a busker myself I have mad respect for this guy (maybe I should clip this? nah)

SHe wants me to make her husband disappear, that’s a felony, I can’t do that XD I’ll dine on water & ramen tonight, think of you Yo he disappeared! That was so cool! Alakazam, jackass!

So cool, a blacklight note!

Tobias strange is a cool name. When I was busking at the big festival a few years back I met this really cool magician, in fact three of them but one I’m thinking about most. He just grabbed a melon out of nowhere & I was standing behind the stage too so I wasn’t even seeing it from the audience perspective!

RC: He made a ferrarri disappear. KR: Why would anyone want to do that? JE: Yeah he was in town recently. awesome show, we loved it. (So esposito likes magic shows, & I’m assuming took dr parish there. rly cute but obv lanie doesn’t like magic as she said in the beginning of the episode.? Also tey’ve been together a couple of weeks now.) RC: “We”? JE: Yeah. Me & my buddy. (should be my buddy & me.) KR: JE: Ray. KR, hella jealous: you have a buddy named ray who you went with to a magic show. (Sounds gay bro.) JE, starting with a laugh: Yeah, what about it? KR: *standing there smiling at esposito* (Not clipping?)

This is sexy af. Also why can’t you write “voila” it’s barely even french it’s a loanword at this point. Regardless you should transcribe all other language stuff into the captions. (Same language, not translated. Translations can be onscreen anyways.)

All access pass

I love his accent. That’s so true bestie. I love hearing him talk about magic & explosives & stuff.

Ooh Lanie is so pretty.  Tit for tat, castle!

Wow he just did the dad trick with a dad joke. WOAH ALEXIS that’s p cool. I’m easily impressed

In his soggy wallet was a soggy metro card. the car service thing was SOOO good

YO A SEXY SECRET DOOR! Ooh a zigzag box. KB: You would have loved my grandfather. *closing the doors to castle’s face* In fact, you remind me of him sometimes. RC, muffled through the box on his head: I’m flattered CSU is going to have a great time with this... Neat graffitti.  (I don’t think I need to clip this)

Best trick ever!

Cool entrance!

This man is so lucky. Usually dead people have to play dead but this guy gets to play dead & play the twin brother! Accountant brother hiding the money Twin sense!! Love a good wallet photo. (& they were blond as kids) Lmao great twin joke

if this was a movie it’s not a movie!

(I knew it! the tracks were evenly spaced, just like sammy keyes book one)

I love Lanie. She’s like my older bro. Pink scrubs, pink gloves, my bro needs to wear a mask & I’d guess it would be pink too (tho I’ve never seen him at work so idk if his gloves & scrubs & mask are pink). Organophosphates??? What’s that? DSHFJKAHDSFH ESPOSITO MY DUDE JE, walking in from tha back, not expecting to see anyone except dr parish & possibly other mortuary assistants: Hola chica! I was in the ‘hood & I thought that we should talk about the *sees beckett. & castle* LP: TESTS THAT YOU HAD ME RUN KB: What tests? JE: DIfferent case. Hey I was just about to call you Thaddeus Magnus is a cool name. In fact, I have a friend+ who has one (or several) introjects of Jon the archivist from the magnus archives; this friend uses a wheelchair. Oh no, & a civil rights protester? This really IS my best friend! KB: You have an address? JE: *hands slip of paper from his nice notebook, I love a good notebook* KB: Thanks RC: Nice work JE: *finally able to exhale* LP: That was close (B’y it was obvious) JE: No. This is close *holds her physically close & kisses her while castle & beckett have literally only just left* (clipping)

Maybe he’s ambulatory & wasn’t in a lot of pain that day & was able to do that insane task but today he’s stuck in bed bc he used spoons he didn’t have.

(I think it might have been nice if they had him answer the door with crutches, a walker/rollator, or a cane. & then have his wheelchair by the door. & then maybe Castle could get a lesson.) New fanfic: once upon a time Thaddeus Magnus opened up the door to two detectives. He was using his crutches at the time since he usually never used his wheelchair within his house. The well-dressed man exclaimed, “Called it! The wheelchair was just an act!” Magnus’ eyebrows fell low over his eyes & he gave the man a sharp whack with his cane. ‘Just an act? You try doing all your walking with messed up muscles & a cane! You insult me again, accuse me of faking, & I will hit your other leg twice as hard!’ The woman had one hand on her belt where Magnus realized she had a gun, but she was also smiling. `See Castle? He’s just an ambulatory wheelchair user.` The end.

Castle don’t touch Great relationship. Specialty item designer for special trick designs for someone with more stage presence. Paid a fortune to get away with murder!

Oh yeah! Magic tricks are for little boys & teenaged girls, if you know what I mean. Like this is so cool! Lol “went out with a bang” I thought it was funny. (Also those eyes in this lighting holy crap coly crap hhhh) (NF/RC also has blue eyes but they are not as bright) Castle is just not impressed. Probably bc ryan stole his joke.  (not clipping that) esposito not here bc he is on a date djskjdlkj

Lol just makes his phone disappear.

Love is built.

MR: Now you see him, now you don’t.

Why do they have ryan sitting there like that? Who directed him to be there like that? (y’all I think smth is wrong w me.) Ryan wearing pink again. & I’ve seen that shirt before, I like how they have consistency with outfits. I also think maybe he’s wearing pink bc last episode he proposed to his gal & they either want to make him look like he’s in love or they want to make him look gay to counterbalance the fact that he’s marrying a woman lol.

Interesting to me how people change their outfits, specifically esposito. Some days he comes to work wearing a chill short sleeved shirt with a collar, other times he comes in with the dress shirt & tie. The tie days it seems like he doesn’t wear his badge around his neck. 

Sorry, I just really like costume design, I considered going into it at some point. 

I’ve dressed in my whites to sneak into places w/o paying before. 

JE, softly: You’re crazy, I’ve never tried anything like that (Girl don’t you remember the bdsm episode & lanie was just talking unashamedly?) (also women* take longer to climax than men* & often need different things than just boring stuff men do.) (*perisex, cisgender, hormonally typical) JE, seeing Ryan walking up to him holding some sort of magazine: Yeah. Ok. Yeah me too. Bye. (in a slightly louder, definitely deeper voice. More masculine & professional.) KR: *closes magazine* Who was that? JE: Coast guard. I was just seeing if they uh found the plane’s data recorder. KR: Hm. Did they? (staring at his partner, not where he’s walking) JE: Did they what? KB: *interrupts the convo* Ah, that’s what the magazine was for. 

RC: Where was this photo taken? KR: Ah, you noticed.

I like this lady, she’s hot, well driven, well spoken, she can take care of herself, she has a killer haircut, & she didn’t talk to cops w/o a lawyer.

PONZI SCHEME???

... Now kiss

& being dead is the perfect alibi!

Oh yeah, he definitely would attend his own funeral.  Mum suggested the priest.  James Pendrick?? & ofc esposito & ryan are just on the other side, as always

Wow I hate this guy.  (I thought that it was another magician who pulled a rabbit out of a hat)

Does he see something behind the non-see-through mirror? Is it that old glass ghost trick? alakazam, jackass. Ok but how did they actually do it? Was he behind the glass? Was he in the room? Who was he, where was he, how did this MFer not see it was a real person?

Is that LT?

Yo Tobias has a slammin jacket

Is rick going to buy a magic shop??

KR: Hey, can you uh? KB: Yeah sure Just casually signs the doc on castle’s back, just like the judge in s1. KB: So where’s esposito? KR: ha, take a wild guess. KB+RC: Lanie KR: Can you believe they still think none of us know? RC: Well let’s let them keep thinking that a while longer. The bubble bursts soon enough.  KB: Not if you’re in it with the right person. RC: ...

I’ve noticed becks drinks bottled water... Oh neat a blood donation wall. Cool. I need to donate blood soon, it’s been a while. I just hope I have the iron for it. Lol remember when esposito just stole a cold pop? Oof phone breakup??

Motorcycle boy? Doctor motorcycle boy?

I love the little details like the fire excape plan WHOA OK FLOWERS.

So cute.  (k so I’m gathering clips rn: I have two hours left before work but no space on my phone. Time to put my clips into tumblr drafts.)

[pob2020-blog]

Ha! I see my last entry was from the infamous summer of 2020! Well, a lot has happened since then. A return to in person teaching at Bard College in fall of 2020( masked in large open room with open windows, air purifiers & drum sets 10 feet apart), one of the only in person classes for students at that time! A gradual return to live performances over the next couple of years with many outdoor shows & eventually normal indoor venues back in business

Too far to go through but here’s a partial list of who I’ve played with over last couple of years. The Arlen Roth Band, Murali Coryell, Kenny Werner, Eric Person, Jay Collins, David Gilmore, Gary Versace, Peter Bernstein, Chad LB, Chuck Lamb, Jay Andersen, & the great longtime colleague of mine, John Esposito, both recording & performances at Bard College alongside bassist Ira Coleman.

A recent highlight was The Mustique Blues Festival on the incredible paradise, Mustique Island. Hosted by the legendary Basil Charles of Basil’s Bar fame, the 25 year old charity event for poor students in nearby St. Vincent, features great blues artists from the US & UK. This year’s lineup included Murali Coryell, Eliza Neals, JC Smith, Kenny Blues Boss Wayne , Ian Seigal, Dan Rabinovitz, Matt Gest, Jeff Walker & moi! It was a truly magical 2 1/2 weeks both musically & personally. Besides meeting & talking with none other than Mick Jagger, the friendship & camaraderie of the musicians, along with the welcoming & bonding with audience & residents of the island, to the warmth & generosity of Basil, made for an incredible experience!

For now, back to Bard for spring semester & upcoming dates with Murali, John Esposito & Spero Plays Nyro & others!

wow I just watched The Shape of Water for the first time and I was shocked that it wasn't as weird as everyone made it out to be back in 2017.

The Shape of Water

[miss-indecisions]

I think about The Shape of Water a lot…

[lady-of-glass-and-bone]

The Shape of Water

So, this is just a random thought I had to put out there.

I just watched the end of The Shape of Water since my dad had it on TV and I love the movie so I watched the last 15 minutes or so. And it reminded me of when my mom first watched it. 

Spoilers maybe?

It was my mom, my older sister and me. We watched the movie, great. I think my mom asked if Strickland (Michael Shannon’s character) died and I internally rolled my eyes but answered her because it was late and she falls asleep during movies a lot. And I think it was my sister who said “yeah, the monster died.”

Cue mom looking a little confused and saying “no, he jumped into the water with the woman.”

Me: “no that was the fishman”

Mom: “yeah the monster, he didn’t die”

Me: “no, the monster was Strickland, not the fishman. So yes, the monster died.”

It was a short, civil after-movie discussion and she was just like okay.

But I just thought that, even though the fishman had only lashed out at those who had captured and tortured him (plus the cat, which was an unfortunate  misunderstanding) my mom still thought of him as ‘the monster’ because of his appearance.

While Strickland, even though he was human, was more of a monster in a lot of ways. The way he treated people, taking joy in torturing the fishman, how he viewed Eliza as some silent toy he wanted to wring some sound out of.

(Also, Michael Shannon, why must you be so good at playing bad guys?!)

This isn’t some intellectual movie review or deep thought provoking idea, I just wanted to get it out of my brain.

I just love the Fishman.
