Pilot Duncan has such an unbeatable look. Gay little ear piercing. Bangs. Horrible extensions pulled into the worlds lankest ponytail. Always shirtless or dressed like dan in bride of reanimator

I got a friend watching Beyond Belief, I'm watching Highlander with her husband while rewatching Buffy by myself, another friend is watching Murder she Wrote and another is watching X-Files and yet another is watching Star Trek: Voyager. Everyone I know is watching shit from or that started or aired in the 90's. No matter who's house I go to it's 90's time. Are we nostalgic or did TV peak?

Me normally: Let people love what they love

Me, after a Test Match Special commentator expresses their belief that the new All Creatures Great and Small is somehow "better" than the 1978 version: This is pure insanity and TMS can no longer be trusted on anything, how can they even be trusted to know about cricket, do they have no TASTE

Hawkeye and Mulcahy 7,8,24 :3

Okay, so I've already had Mulcahy by himself for a couple of asks, so I'm going to assume this question is Hawkeye -and-Mulcahy, for morale.

7. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you like?

Hawkeye and Mulcahy are a niche pairing - I'm awfully well aware of that. I like stories which pair Hawkeye and BJ or Hawkeye and Trapper (or even Hawkeye and Charles!) just fine. BUT: Hawkeye and Mulcahy clearly have a deep and abiding friendship and respect; they turn to each other for help and emotional support as neither of them do to anyone else: and I like it tremendously when fandom acknowledges this even when Hawkeye is romantically involved with someone else (and Mulcahy perpetually vowed to Someone Else).

8. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you despise?

There are so few Hawkeye/Mulcahy stories on AO3 - or anywhere - that anything I say as critical as "despise" would be a personal criticism, and since I appreciate everyone who's at work in our little niche, I don't want to do that.

I do not get along with depictions of Mulcahy as a sadist, as a masochist, as a judgemental preacher, or as an easy victim. I do not get along with Hawkeye in any of those roles either. They're both very tough, very kind people - who could be broken by circumstances, sure, but who wouldn't break easily and who would themselves be fighting their way back to recovery. That said - ther are now 164 Hawkeye/Mulcahy stories on AO3, a numerical majority of them not written by me or by Iolanthe, and how could I complain about that?

24. What other character from another fandom of yours that reminds you of them?

George Cowley and Francis Mulcahy for their deep reserve and sense of responsibility. (They have otherwise nothing in common.) Methos and Hawkeye - for their ability to react. immediately, and think outside the box. (They have otherwise nothing in common.) Hawkeye, Spock, and Methos have in common that they are all the Little Black Dress of fandom. - you can pair each of them off with virtually anyone and make sense of it.

Picard and Bagoas as a married couple - in that they are married (legally and publicly, in the case of my ST:tng couple) while being aware that there are vast amounts of their lives they cannot share with each other, and working through it to stay married anyway.

House and Hawkeye are both eccentric but brilliant doctors. They have nothing otherwise in common. Geseja and Francis are both deeply religious people, who cling to their faith to make sense of an awful situation. Otherwise, they not only don't have anything in common, they don't even share a religion. I've written Mirrorverse series for both Spock and McCoy and Hawkeye and Mulcahy. I've written slave!stories for B7 and for Trek and for MASH, and I saw Vila and McCoy and Mulcahy as the character most likely to be able to endure and survive being enslaved - though they have nothing otherwise in common.

Coeli's Picks: Men, part 2

(Multiple movies listed left to right.)

One Dress a Day Challenge

Amadeus (1984) / F. Murray Abraham as Antonio Salieri and Tom Hulce as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Deep Space 9 (various episodes) / Armin Shimerman as Quark

"He has lots of interesting costumes but I think this may be my favorite." (Note: It's known as the "Aztec Cherry" suit.)

Knives Out (2019) / Chris Evans as Ransom Drysdale

"If you haven't seen this movie, you must. Note the holes in the iconic sweater - the costumer used them to show the character's carelessness with his expensive things. He also wears the below jacket and scarf over the sweater in his first scene."

Highlander (1986) / Sean Connery as Ramirez

The Untouchables (1987) / Billy Drago as Frank Nitti

"I don't think this white Armani suit is a super-accurate '20s style, but it makes the gangster look like the angel of death he's supposed to be, so it works! Plus it's just gorgeous."

Starcrash (1978) / Christopher Plummer (slumming) as the Emperor

Much Ado About Nothing (1993) / Main male cast

Lexx (s1 e1, "I Worship His Shadow") / Barry Bostwick as Thoden

"I've never seen the show but ran across this striking look!"

Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) / Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian

A very brief turn by Frazer Hines, as stable hand Jem, in Peter Diamond's pilot for a proposed adventure series Lochinvar (1968). There was little interest in the pilot or any subsequent series, and ultimately the sole filmed episode was never transmitted - it survived in the hands of director/producer Diamond until his family donated the film stock to Kaleidoscope a few years ago.

New Here?

Massive amounts of fanfic writing over a show's summer hiatus is a pretty common thing. I see some Tivo fans are patting themselves on the back. Maybe they're new to the ebb and flow of fandom.

The wait between Harry Potter novels was when the big stories happened--the ones that included novels far better than what JKR produced.

Hiatuses give people time to write through whole seasons instead of between-episodic stuff like ep tags.

And Methos completely caught fire in Highlander, and stayed there, but there really wasn't any man before that who had as many sparks with Duncan.

As for Buddie, if Tim Minear believes he's getting a S9 & S10, he may feel less pressed to Buddie Buck & Evan in S8. Endgames happen at the end. Maybe Tim is getting good vibes from ABC?
