The Supernaturals (1986)

My rating: 4/10

Somehow they managed to make Nichelle Nichols and LeVar Burton fighting undead racists extremely dull and unpleasant to watch. It's almost impressive.

Tiny Review: Late Bloomers 2023. I don’t know how to describe it but watch it.

What! She’s Nebula? That’s crazy!

This isn’t a typical story imo. It’s not a character arc imo. It’s an experiential story, more than that. Definitely not a comedy(it’s marketed as one). Sometimes contrived, sometimes pragmatic, brutally real. A sad story but also kinda cathartic.  

I think it’s a poignant, modern, emotional story. Yet to fully process what it is and how I think about it. Frustrating, but also hopeful.  

Not for everyone but still highly recommended.

Late Bloomers is a 2023 American coming-of-age comedy drama film, directed by Lisa Steen in her directorial debut, from a screenplay by Anna Greenfield. It stars Karen Gillan, Margaret Sophie Stein, Jermaine Fowler, Talia Balsam and Kevin Nealon.

New casting announcement for Jenna Coleman's currently filming show, "Wilderness".

Jonathan Keltz plays Detective Wiseman Talia Balsam plays Bonnie Crystal Blint plays Liana Natalie Sharp plays Marissa Geoff Gustafson plays Zach Jake Foy plays Anton

We've got some additional details about the show recently. Jenna is currently in LA promoting The Sandman, but she will return to British Columbia to continue filming. According to the following website, filming started on the 13th of June, and is set to continue until the 16th of September.

After that, Jenna will continue filming in New York, Las Vegas, and the Grand Canyon, according to her recent interview for WWD:

Filming will also take place in the UK, but ironically, Jenna might not film there at all.

That's quite a long filming duration (probably at least 4 months, possibly even simultaneously in two different locations), so I wonder how many episodes there will be of the show.

upon the shallow mound

Steter | 1.2k | G AU-gust Prompt 6: Fairies

Summary: Stiles is gone, but Peter knows his husband is not dead.

-

“This is not my husband,” Peter says, when they come to prepare the body. 

It has been laid out on the table since yesterday, as still as marble and twice as cold. The embalmer stares at the pale limbs, which have gone stiff with the passing hours. The man exchanges a look with the washer-woman, who has come to offer oils and tinctures for the funeral service. When Peter firmly tells them he has not planned one, they look bewildered.

He closes the door on their faces before the bewilderment can turn to pity. 

Out in the sun, out of this dark room, he imagines them reassuring each other, as all the others have before. “He’ll come round,” they will be saying.

But Peter is alone with the body on the table, the body of a man he does not know. It looks like Stiles, in the way that two river stones, smoothed by water and time, might look nearly identical at first glance. It is handsome, bright, and somehow polished.

It smells like the shallow mound in the depths of the woods.

⬩

“That is not my husband,” Peter says, when they lower the coffin into the ground.

The embalming has taken place in spite of his aversion to the body. They have done good work: the corpse’s lifeless serenity has been preserved with herbs and balsam. 

It is lovely. Peter is grateful when they finally close the lid.

By this time, Talia has come up from her home in the southern fields to stand at his side. 

“Hush, brother,” she tells him, and strokes his arm as they put the thing that is not his husband into the earth. “He would not wish you to act this way.”

Peter is not sure why he’s come. In case I’m wrong, he thinks, but he tries not to let his thoughts wander there.

Instead of watching the ground swallow the coffin up, he looks out over the gravestones and toward the distant trees. Autumn has turned them fiery gold, and the scent of wet leaves hangs thick in the air.

There is another smell, too. The smell of the mound near the stream.

“It is not him,” Peter says. It is quiet. A reassurance. Perhaps spoken more to himself than to his sister. “It is some senseless substance shaped to look like him.”

“Peter, I grieve with you.”

“It is a thing from them,” he says quietly, staring into the dark shadows between the trees.

⬩

“He is not gone,” Peter tells Talia, days later, when she pauses on the threshold on her way out of his home.

In every room, it is quiet. In every room, it is empty save Peter. With Talia leaving, he will be alone in that emptiness once more.

“I am sorry to leave you here by yourself,” Talia says, her face drawn with unease. 

Her gaze flits to the great oak table, which once held the likeness of his husband splayed out and still, and which is now covered in books and parchment. Peter has borrowed, bought, and stolen every morsel of knowledge he can find that might relate to their good neighbors. Legends and myth, histories and fables.

“Will you not come stay?” she begs at last, though her lone horse is saddled and waiting outside. “My children would love to see you again.”

Peter does not move from his chair. “I will not be alone for long.”

In the ensuing silence, he begins reading where he last stopped.

⬩

“The gold is for my husband,” Peter explains to the money-lender, when she asks.

He and Stiles have little money between them, and he has no practical need of his father’s ring. The woman inspects it, the silver wolf emblazoned on the shoulders of the setting.

She counts out his gold. Peter doesn’t wish to offend the good neighbors by offering a poor trade, and he hopes it will be enough.

“He’s a lucky man,” she tells him mildly, folding her fingers over the ring.

As Peter takes the gold, he hopes so. They will both need what luck they can find.

⬩

“I’m off to find my husband,” Peter says, when the wheelsmith asks where he is headed so late on Hallow’s Eve.

“Surely you are going the wrong way. The festival is in the heart of town.”

“He is lost in the woods.”

The man does not look immediately concerned, but his alarm grows when Peter’s determination does not sway. 

“The woods are no place for humans on this night,” he says in a low voice.

Peter makes his way around the man’s cart to slip down the trail. “On that, you and I are agreed.”

⬩

“Show me my husband,” Peter demands of his neighbors’ mound.

The grassy earth lies still and quiet underfoot. Apart from the quiet rustle of branches, the only sound is his own breath.

He knows the strangers come out this night, but not when. Nor is he sure entirely how. But he knows this is the place, if not the hour, and so he stands in the biting chill and searches for a sign.

Hours pass in the dark. Peter holds his breath for an eternity, for the first time daring to hope.

When the night seems at its darkest, a sound comes through the trees. A tinkling of bells at first, and then the chime of some unearthly instrument. Voices rise and fall on the wind, a chanting that sounds woven of pure laughter.

When the strangers appear, they are as insubstantial as petals on the breeze. They pass about him as if on a current that carries their jubilant party from one end of the earth to the next. There is no moon, but their skin still seems to shine silver as they flow between the trees, some on white horses, others dancing in the pale glow, and still others shifting from one shape to the next.

One nearby glint of skin is pale, but not silver. “Peter!” a voice cries.

They say that one of the laws that governs these beings is that they cannot turn down a trade, no matter how bad that bargain may be. 

Peter throws down the gold. “Mine be yours, and yours be mine!”

The strangers let out a cry of rage, their flowing music stuttering in the air. They scatter across the clearing, some of them falling upon the gold, and others fleeing in fury.

Peter lunges at the pale man in the clearing, squeezing his eyes shut.

In his arms, the man becomes somehow less substantial. His limbs and skin flow from one form into another, an endless torrent of shapes. He hears his name come from a mouth that cannot be human, a low warble that shifts in pitch.

One final trick to drive his efforts to failure. But Peter has been grasping at his husband for weeks, and he will not stop now.

With a final cry of rage, the strangers disperse into the darkness, leaving Peter alone in the woods.

But he is not alone. Not anymore. When he breathes in, the smell of the man in his arms is the smell of Stiles.

Stiles clings to him just as tightly. “You came,” he says, pressing the words into the side of Peter’s neck. “I did not eat the food, though I was hungry, because I hoped that you might guess the truth and find me before it was too late.”

When he pulls away, he is himself: not polished, not stiff, but human and alive. 

“How did you know they meant to trick you?” Stiles wonders.

“Because you are my husband,” Peter says, and pulls him close again.
