[precognitio]

hold on if you put it into perspective that otis named cutter after one of his favorite groucho marx characters it’s insane i mean just the fact alone that he NAMED HIM and spaulding liked it enough to make it his whole persona is like. ok man.

but otis really met this guy and he was like dude you remind me so much of my favorite character. my favorite character who is fucking hilarious, kinda pathetic, everyone worships the ground he walks on, is a major asshole, makes well disguised dirty jokes about underage girls, prostitution, rape, racism and gays and hes misogynistic on top of it? thats all of otis’s favorite things embodied in person!

AND it matches otis’s own alias. i could keep going

can you write something about the fireflys during pride month???

Of course! Happy Pride Month, dear readers, I hope you enjoy the post.

The Firefly Family Embraces Pride: Unleashing a Rainbow of Chaos

As the colourful month of Pride descends upon the world, let us venture into the peculiar realm of the Firefly Family and explore how this twisted clan would celebrate in their own uniquely chaotic way.

🔥 Captain Spaulding:

Captain Spaulding, the grinning clown with a dark sense of humor, would proudly sport a vibrant rainbow clown wig and paint his face with prideful colors. He would embrace the spirit of celebration, delighting in telling twisted jokes and spreading laughter amidst the chaos of the carnival. With his booming voice, he would declare, "Pride ain't just for the living, it's for the dead too!"

💄 Mama Firefly:

Mama Firefly, the matriarch of the family, would wholeheartedly support and celebrate Pride Month with her own flamboyant flair. Adorned in vibrant feathers, sequins, and elaborate costumes, Mama would command attention as she struts through Pride parades with her fierce confidence. She would become an unofficial mother figure to queer individuals who have faced rejection, offering them a place within the twisted embrace of the Firefly Family. Mama Firefly's presence would ignite a sense of belonging and empowerment within the LGBTQ+ community.

🌟 Baby Firefly:

Baby, the seductive and unpredictable member of the family, would revel in the freedom of expression that Pride Month brings. Donning an extravagant outfit adorned with sequins, glitter, and bold rainbow patterns, she would dance her way through parades, twirling her rainbow-colored baton with mischief in her eyes. Baby's infectious energy and captivating charm would draw others into her whirlwind of celebration.

🌈 Otis Driftwood:

Otis, the deranged and sadistic member of the Firefly Family, may seem like an unlikely participant in Pride festivities. However, beneath his menacing exterior lies a complex soul. During this month, Otis would express his support for the LGBTQ+ community through his art—painting bold and haunting portraits that capture the struggles and triumphs of queer individuals. His artwork would serve as a powerful reminder that pride comes in all forms, even in the darkest corners.

🔥 Tiny Firefly:

Tiny, the towering and introverted member of the family, may appear intimidating at first glance, but deep down, he holds a gentle heart. During Pride Month, Tiny would embrace his allies within the LGBTQ+ community, offering a silent and steadfast presence. He would be a protector and a symbol of acceptance, standing tall and proud, letting his actions speak louder than words. Tiny's presence would serve as a reminder that strength and love can coexist in the most unexpected of souls.

🌈 R.J. Firefly:

R.J., the enigmatic and mysterious member of the Firefly Family, would find his own way to honor Pride Month. Known for his quiet demeanor and lurking presence, R.J. would express his support through subtle yet impactful actions. He would discreetly create intricate Pride-themed jewelry, handcrafted with care and adorned with colorful gemstones. R.J. would leave these tokens of solidarity in unexpected places, like hidden treasures for fellow queer souls to discover. His silent gestures would speak volumes, showing that support and acceptance can be found in the most unassuming corners of the Firefly realm.

🏳️‍🌈 The Firefly's Queer Allies:

Surprisingly, the Firefly Family would attract a diverse group of queer allies who find solace and kinship within their unconventional embrace. These allies, whether they be performers, artists, or misfits in their own right, would join the Firefly Family in celebrating Pride Month with unapologetic enthusiasm, forming a temporary community bonded by a shared love for the bizarre and a commitment to inclusivity.

Amidst the madness and mayhem, the Firefly Family embraces Pride Month in their own peculiar way. They understand that pride transcends societal norms and can be found even in the darkest corners of existence. So, whether they're painting rainbows on their clown masks, dancing with reckless abandon, or showcasing queer horror history, the Firefly Family reminds us that the most unexpected souls can find their place in the rainbow tapestry of pride.

Celebrate Pride with a twist, for the Firefly Family ignites a rainbow of chaos that defies expectations and celebrates the beauty of being unapologetically strange and wonderfully diverse.

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Happy Pride Month!

The Best Friend Showdown

Season four had many, many flaws. One of the big ones was the Rena Rouge vs Chat Noir conflict where Ladybug starts relying on Alya more and more, basically using her to replace Master Fu. We get a sense that Chat Noir feels inferior to Rena Rouge because of this change, but it’s never directly addressed. The most we get is this conversation from Hack-San:

Ladybug: I'm really sorry, Cat Noir. I should've told you. I mean, if I found out that you told someone about your secret identity, I'd... probably be upset, too. I'm really sorry I hurt your feelings. Cat Noir: You didn't hurt my feelings. You did everything right. 

Which is actually a really weird bit of dialogue because - as far as I can tell - nothing in the episode revealed that Scarabella knew Ladybug's identity. She hands out miraculous all the time and no one knows who she really is. Why would this time be different? Ladybug could just show up in costume, explain what's up, and then hand off the earrings while using yet another miraculous.

Anyway, the Rena Rouge vs Chat Noir conflict is “resolved” by Rena Rouge being outed again (and I guess that matters this time), leading her to give up her miraculous so that Gabriel can’t steal it away, which of course leads Gabriel to steal it away and fully disempower Ladybug’s larger team, leaving Chat Noir her only teammate.

How satisfying! This is such good, character-driven story telling!

It’s not. This is plot contrivances to the max with no meaningful character beats, but we’re not here to talk about that. We’re here to do one of my favorite things: gush about a relevant Kim Possible episode! Today’s topic is episode 12 of season one: Pain King vs. Cleopatra, the episode that introduces Kim’s female BFF, Monique!

This was a bit of a shocker for me because I didn’t realize that Kim and Monique weren’t pre-series friends. Turns out that, much like Alya, Monique is a new girl, which isn’t a bad call. This was a nice way to delay Monique’s introduction for a few episodes so that the writers could focus on establishing Kim’s relationship with other key members of the cast like her partner, Ron. Spacing out your intros is the way to go whenever you can pull it off as it’s a kindness to your audience that keeps them from feeling overwhelmed, making it more likely that they’ll remember your cast.

The other, more important similarity between Alya and Monique is that, when Kim’s hero partner and life-long friend finds out about Monique, he is less than thrilled:

Kim: I barely got to see them. Right after I hooked up with Monique, the museum was robbed by some glowing-headed animal guy. Ron: Oh, that's nice. Ron: Wait a minute, who's Monique? Kim New friend, really great. Anyway, the thief stole an enchanted ancient talisman. Ron: Whoa, whoa, back up! How can I not know about a new friend? Kim: I met her at Club Banana, then again at the museum before I chased the glowing robber. Ron: So what's she like? Kim: The robber? Ron: The friend, Kim, the "new friend".

Throughout the episode, Kim and Monique continue to bond without Ron, leaving Ron feeling left out:

Ron: Seein' a pattern here, Rufus: Kim does her thing, I do my thing, and pretty soon - we're doing different things.

Which leads him to get a little territorial:

Kim Ron! What are you doing here? Ron: Can I dine with my best friend and her new friend? Kim: Uuh, Ron, Monique, and vice versa. Ron: Bearclaw? Monique: No, thanks, I'm vegetarian. Ron: Uhm, I'm pretty sure it's imitation bear? Kim: She's joking, Ron. Ron: Good one, hahaha, ha, good one. So, did Kim tell you that I'm her sidekick? Cause that role is definitely taken by me. Monique: Riiiight. Well, in... you know I better get to class. Later, Kim. Um, n-nice meeting you, Ron. Ron: Likewise, I'm sure! Kim: What is your problem? You're acting really weird. Ron: Well, let's see. You went to the museum with Monique, not me. Monique was with you this morning, not me. Hmm, pattern? Kim: Yeah. You. Weird. Ron: No, we're drifting apart because you're excluding me. Kim: I am not excluding you. It's just that you and Monique are... different.

Noticing some similarities to Miraculous here?

So how does Kim Possible resolve this conflict?

Well, the plot of this episode resolves around Kim Possible’s version of professional wrestling, the GWA. There’s a competition going on that Kim has no interest in watching (mood), but when Kim mentions the GWA to Monique:

Monique: Why didn't you bring [Ron] along? Kim: Unless someone put a waiter in a headlock, this is definitely not Ron's scene. Besides, he had a date with "Steel Toe". Monique: He scored tickets to Mayhem in Middleton? The GWA rocks! Kim: What?

It turns out that Monique and Ron have a shared interest! Multiple shared interests, in fact! Interests that Kim does not share:

Monique: You know, I still can't believe you met Pain King and Steel Toe. Ron: I can't believe you're into wrestling. Kim: I can't believe I know either one of you.

By the end of the episode, the conflict is resolved not with Kim having to pick a BFF or with Monique somehow being demoted, but by showing that this didn’t need to be a conflict at all. Kim can have multiple close friends that she shares different interests with without any of those friends being lesser. Those friends can, in turn, have their own friendships that don’t always involve her.

It’s a genuinely lovely resolution that makes me love this little friend group because it now has added complexity. Monique and Ron are friends in their own right! Kim is not the center of the universe in spite of her main character status!

I also love that Kim isn’t vilified for having other friends or portrayed as constantly leaving Ron out of things that he'd want to do in favor of Monique. Ron genuinely would not enjoy most of the things that the girls love to do together. At the same time, Ron’s feeling aren’t treated as totally irrational either and Kim even admits to ditching him. It’s a genuine, complex conflict that is super common when someone enters a new relationship be it platonic or romantic.

Obviously Kim Possible’s version of this conflict feels far less complex than Miraculous’ because Kim Possible understood that Ron should be Kim’s one-and-only partner, so his position was really never threatened. Monique does not want to be an action hero and is never given the sort narrative weight that elevates her to Ron’s level or higher, but that doesn't matter. The basic lesson here is still relevant and super important for the intended audience of both of these shows.

There did not need to be a Rena Rouge vs Chat Noir conflict that never got properly resolved. Miraculous could have made these two friends and no, Scarabella doesn't count because Chat Noir has no idea that Scarabella is Rena Rouge/Furtive. Their relationship ended at the end of Hack-San. He didn't even know that Rena Furtive was a thing until she was in the process of being benched and that's the problem.

Kim Possible is not a team show, Miraculous is, and yet Kim Possible has better team dynamics than Miraculous. Monique could have joined Kim's team at the end of Pain King vs. Cleopatra and it would have felt natural because both Kim and Ron had welcomed Monique and formed a genuine bond with her. This is a true friend group that Miraculous can only dream of even though they've been adding new superheroes since season two.

We're going into a season with a full, massive team and yet that team has no established dynamics on the hero side. It's not a functional team! None of these characters have meaningful relationships with each other as heroes save for Alya and Nino since they know each other’s secret identities. The only relationships Miraculous cares about are the various romances and everyone's relationship to Marinette and everyone suffers for it.

The show would not have been harmed by Rena Rouge, Chat Noir, and Ladybug being a team. It was the thing I kept think after watching the Kim Possible episode. Since the team is the end game, why aren't we seeing them? It would have been so nice to have Hack-San end with Ladybug introducing Chat Noir to Rena Furtive instead of a nonsense discussion about an issue the episode didn't even address.

Too Drunk Reader Gets Handsy

With Reno, pre-Nibelheim Sephiroth, and Rufus

Reno

Reno has bragged about being a professional but that was before you started tugging at the button above his zipper on his pants

He ended up having to lock you outside his front door or fuck you against his wall right there

It's mean but it's better than the alternative

You're pushing against the door and begging to be let back in. How are you this strong? Or is he getting weaker because you sound so sad?

Then you toss out the big "L" word and that shatters his resolve

Maybe it's because the alcohol has robbed you of your inhibitions but it's the first time you've said it to him

Cursing the situation, he pulls you back inside. If you're going to say shit like that, he's gonna make sure things are done right

He's trying to be a gentleman and let you sleep it off in his bed, alone, but it smells of him and that makes you even more horny

It's gonna be a long night but once Reno puts his mind to it, he'll finish something, even if he has to hold you down until you give up and get too sleepy

Sephiroth

You boldly climbed onto his lap but your control of the situation ends there because he has your arms pinned to your sides

It's very cute that you think you can break out of his hold or weaken his resolve with your "I want you"'s and your nonsense about climbing him "like a sexy silver tree"

That said, it's also very cute you have to sit up on your knees to reach his face with your lips because of his height so he does let you get closer

He's worried he'll give in, even a little, if he lets you kiss him on the mouth so he turns his head. It's a mistake: you give his neck kisses instead and nibble his ear

When you get a hand free to wrap it around and tug the hair at the base of his neck, that's it. He has to shut this down. You used the secret move that never fails to turn him on

He throws you gently onto your stomach and holds both your wrists in one of his hands. With the other, he'll rub you gently until you're lulled to sleep

Rufus Shinra

You get on his lap also but he doesn't stop you from applying ample amounts of kisses and touches. He just keeps his own hands to himself

He deserves this much, doesn't he? It's been so long since he's been with someone and especially someone he cares about

He also doesn't think you're sober enough to figure out how to take his clothes off

He underestimated you. Once he opens his eyes, he realizes you're somehow the naked one

You refuse to put your clothes back on because you're "too hot". And so is he, apparently? You're talking nonsense

While that's very amusing and the begging turns him on, he has to bring this situation back under control

He uses blankets, his tie, his belts, anything within reach to bundle you up. You're adorable and you're his, so he leaves you helpless on one of his big, expensive sofas instead of taking you home while he goes to sleep

He's got words for you in the morning and they're mostly teasing you about how you wanted him so badly that you embarrassed yourself

[carrionhearted]

RJ is so funny to me because in comparison to the rest of the Firefly Family, he’s just… some guy. He looks like a Home Depot employee who got lost on his way to the job, and he’s just here now. He’s just a normal guy with a mildly intimidating presence and really big tits.

Maybe he did some heinous shit that I don’t remember because I was too distracted by his big tits. Why were they so… so…

Yes yes, big scary white man with deep voice

SCUM OF THE EARTH

rufus “ RJ ” firefly x reader

♡ general dating headcanons for RJ!

୨୧ i hate how little work there is for this gorgeous man! i also hate that i become obsessed with characters who have the shortest screen time <3

♡ view my tv and movie masterlist here

reading music recommendations: house of 1000 corpses by rob zombie - scum of the earth by rob zombie

♡ the only two ways i can really see you guys meeting are you being an almost victim who the family wanted to keep and ended up falling for him or you lived somewhere close by and were close to the firefly family, being in on what they were doing!

୨୧ if you were an almost victim, i can see him falling for you pretty damn quickly… much to his displeasure! he did not like how he felt about you at first and avoided you as much as possible…

♡ but one time when he was walking through the house, he found otis being extremely weird with you, poking at you and mocking you when you were clearly upset

୨୧ something came over RJ… he doesn’t know why he acted on it, he’d never felt this way before when otis had been like this towards victims! but he did act on it, taking long and thumping steps towards you both as otis remained set on you, not noticing his brother until he was shoved away from you by a large hand

“ leave ‘er alone, otis… ” ( otis is in shock for about two seconds before he smiles and raises his hands in mock surrender, laughing and backing away whilst telling RJ he can “ have at ” you, “ it’s about time you lost your virginity, brother! ” the irritated look on RJ’s face and shake of his head almost makes you laugh )

♡ you fell for him after this, i mean you’d thought he was really attractive when he’d helped you in his tow truck but that attraction was squandered a bit when him and his family turned out to be nuts! but now… yeah, that attraction was rising right back up

୨୧ it doesn’t take too long for you guys to get into a “ real ” relationship after this, the rest of the family takes note of how you guys can’t hold contact without blushing and always pushes you together with mama firefly being so excited for her little RJ finally getting a girlfriend!

♡ i feel like RJ is probably the most self aware of the family, he’s the one who really truly understands just what they’re doing and the trauma you now have

୨୧ if he ever sees you looking particularly upset with being stuck in the house, he’ll approach you and place a hand on your back, mumbling and gesturing towards the front door

“ y’wanna go for a drive? c’mon, i’ll take you out ” ( you’re not allowed to leave the house unless one of the firefly family members is with you, it’s almost always RJ )

♡ he usually drives you to a clearing, one hand on the steering wheel and another holding your thigh which usually leads you to place a hand on top of his and fiddle with his fingers as you look out the window, when he parks up he’ll let you get out and sit on the grass whilst he leans against his truck and watches you with soft eyes

୨୧ it only takes a couple of months of you guys dating for you to fully fall in love with him and become completely comfortable around him and his touches

♡ those drives out to clearings become super common between you two, he loves getting out with you and being away from his family for a while! it’s not that he doesn’t love his family because he does but he knows they can be a bit overbearing and just a little annoying so he’ll take you out whenever he can

୨୧ often times you’ll lay on the grass together, cloud watching or star gazing, your head resting on his broad chest and playing with the buttons of his open flannel whilst he strokes your hair… not many words are spoken, you just appreciate the sound of birds chirping or the cicada in the grass

♡ he’ll tilt your head up towards you a lay a deep kiss on your lips, mumbling a quiet “ love you ” against your lips as you repeat the phrase back to him

୨୧ i’d be lying if i said you guys didn’t have sex in the clearing too! usually you ride him, it’s slow and soft with his big hands guiding your hips as he admires you from below

“ so pretty… love you s’much, keep going, doin’ so good ” ( he praises you so much during sex, i don’t care what anyone says )

♡ RJ absolutely loves manhandling you!

୨୧ he’s just so big and beefy and broad that no matter your weight or height, he can just pick you up with one arm and throw you over his shoulder whilst you giggle

♡ he does this for multiple reasons; some reasons being he knows it makes you laugh or makes you horny and it makes him feel good to make you feel like that, it makes him feel strong and he knows he can always protect you from anything with his stature

୨୧ you become pretty close with baby! she absolutely loves dressing you up, no matter your gender… she won’t force you to dress up if you don’t want to though, not when the family now see you as one of them, she’ll pout but quickly decide to put on a fashion show for you instead and have you rate her outfits and makeup

♡ but if you do let her dress you up, she goes all out! she treats you like a model, doing the most over the top makeup and dressing you up like an old hollywood celebrity before leading you out of her room to show RJ how pretty you look

୨୧ he usually just stares at you, slightly wide eyed, before giving a small smile and saying “ you look nice ” to which baby whines, telling him he’s boring and you deserve better

♡ but you know that means a lot coming from him so you smile back at him with a blush coating your cheeks and thank him before baby drags you away to show mama firefly instead

୨୧ RJ isn’t super talkative, it’s not that he doesn’t enjoy talking to you or anything like that, he just feels like he isn’t great with words

♡ you’re fine with that though! you’ll sit by him in his garage and have a conversation with him about how your day was and he’ll hum in response whilst working on his tow truck, sometimes giving just barely audible responses

୨୧ mama firefly absolutely adores your relationship with her son! she thinks you’re so perfect for him and absolutely sees you as her child now

♡ she talks about you guys getting married SO much! especially over dinner, telling you how gorgeous you’d look in a wedding dress and how handsome RJ would look in a suit, she gets pretty upset when otis or baby mocks the idea because she’s just really serious about it

୨୧ RJ never really says anything when she talks about a wedding, usually just nodding and saying “ sure, mama ”

♡ but deep down, he thinks it’d be nice to marry you too! he can’t help but stare down at his food and imagine what kind of wedding dress you’d have… how you’d have your hair… the just married sex… yeah, it don’t sound too bad at all <3

The Scottish actor Archibald Duncan was born in Glasgow on 26th May 1914.

His father was a regimental sergeant major and his mother a postmistress. He was educated at Govan High School and afterwards and worked as a welder in the Glasgow shipyards.

It was at the Citizens Theatre Company that Duncan joined the training ground of many Scottish actors including, Molly Urquart, Duncan Macrae, Gordon Jackson and Eileen Herlie. He then made his Scottish acting debut in Juno and the Paycock, playing all three gunmen, at Glasgow’s Alhambra in May 1944.

Duncan went on to star in London’s West End with the likes of the great Scottish character actor Alistair Sim and the late George Cole. Film roles started to follow with , Floodtide , The Gorballs Story, The Elusive Pimpernel, Green Grow the Rushes, Henry V, The Lavender Hill Mob, You’re Only Young Twice and Walt Disney’s The Story Of Robin Hood and his Merrie Men as ‘Red Gill’ amongst many others. Duncan also teamed up with Richard Todd and James Robertson Justice in Disney’s Rob Roy the Highland Rogue as Dugal Mac Gregor.

One of Duncan’s first big TV roles was as Inspector Lestrade in the 1954 series Sherlock Holmes, but perhaps Archibald Duncan is best remembered for his second Robin Hood role, where 6'2" Duncan played Little John alongside Richard Greene in The Adventures of Robin Hood which ran for 143 episodes on ITV here and CBS in the states from 1955 to 1959. I just had a wee look and many of the episodes are on Youtube.

Duncan’s portrayal of Little John would be fondly remembered decades later for his combination of strength, skill and humour. It was during the filming this unforgettable series that this Scottish gentle giant proved to be a true hero and managed to prevent a runaway horse from hurtling towards a group of spectators, consisting of mainly children, watching close by. For this brave feat, he was awarded the Queen’s Commendation for Bravery and £1,360 in “damages”. But it also resulted in him missing the recording of eleven episodes of Robin Hood. So between times, a replacement was found in fellow Scotsman, Rufus Cruickshank.

Another great Scottish film he appeared in was Ring of Bright Water. Archie Duncan's career in television production carried on with parts in programmes like Z Cars, Hereward the Wake, Orlando, Black Beauty and Bootsie and Snudge.

In 1978 he suffered a massive stroke which caused paralysis down his right side, sadly he passed away at Whipps Cross Hospital in Leytonstone, London aged 65 on 24th July 1979.
