Warrick: I think I just figured something out. I got to go.

Nick: Aren't you forgetting something?

Warrick: Uuh...*hesitantly kisses Nick's forehead before running out.*

Nick: No, pay your bill! Damn, who raised you?

Fandom Shenanigans (06/07/2023)

I’ve been rewatching the show CSI for the past few weeks or so. Tonight I made it to this episode and this part of the conversation made me laugh.

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation Season 5 Episode 11 Who Shot Sherlock?

Captain Jim Brass(Paul Guilfoyle): You know, I think you ought to drop the accent.

Josh Frost/Moriarty(Sebastian Roche): I can’t. I’m English.

Captain Jim Brass(Paul Guilfoyle): Oh.

It’s the fact that I’ve known for a long time that Sebastian Roche has an accent that made this scene a lot funnier than it probably should be to me.

A semi-formal review of pre Critical Role live action Ashley Johnson content

*this is not an exhaustive list, just the films/shows I've watched personally. yes i am biased. Blindspot is not included but I do have many positive feelings about seasons 1 and 2*

Crime Scene Investigation, season 7 episode 21 : Ending Happy (2007)

Character - Dreama Little

Plot -

When a has-been boxer is killed, the team must establish which of several life-threatening acts actually ended his life.

Review -

As someone who hasn't seen any CSI prior to this, I thoroughly enjoyed it. This episode puts Ashley in the shoes of a sweet prostitute with a southern drawal and more smarts than one would expect.

The episode was engaging and made me feel very empathetic for Dreama. She certainly stood out from the main cast in just a few scenes.

Rating - 8/10

Spooked Episodes 1-4 (2014)

Character - Morgan

Plot -

Five paranormal investigators help the citizens of their city with everything from ghost sightings to possession and aliens.

Review -

This was a decent, turn-off-your-brain spoof on paranormal investigation shows. I found the writing to be a little shotty at times and many things could have been fleshed out more. Despite this, it was an entertaining binge at only 4 20 minute episodes available for free.

I found Ashley's character one of the most entertaining of the group. Quickly, a love triangle forms around her and sets off a lot of drama within the team but the resolution was an oddly sweet one.

Rating - 6/10

Annie : A Royal Adventure (1995)

Character - Annie Warbucks

Plot -

In this sequel to the 1982 film, Annie and her friends venture to England where hijinks ensue and the preteens must stop a plot to overthrow the monarchy.

Review -

This was a fever dream of a film, but in a fun way. I didn't expect much going into it, and I wasn't disappointed. It was very childish but not in an annoying way. There was a song, which I enjoyed.

Rating - 5/10

The Failures (2003)

Character - Lily/Lilian

Plot -

When a misfit teenager meets a suicidal outcast, she comes up with a plan to help him kill himself. Too bad love gets in the way.

Review -

This was the best movie I've watched in a while. I was completely engaged. The writing was witty, nuanced, and every character was so well done. Neither cynicism or optimism was the right answer, life just is what it is.

Ashley gave a standout performance here. Lily is so well done. She's not good or wise, she's just a dumb 17 year old who thinks she knows everything. Her intentions and motivations are messy just like everyone else here. Nobody is fully bad or good. They're all just people.

Rating - 10/10

Growing Pains : The Movie (2000)

Character - Chrissy Seaver

Plot -

Jason and Maggie Seaver move back to their hometown so Maggie can run for public office. Quickly, things spiral into a mess when the kids get involved.

Review -

This movie was... fine. It did what it was trying to do, I think. When viewed as a continuation of the original series, it falls a little flat. I found Carol's relationship drama to be really boring, and the writers seemed confused on who they wanted Chrissy to be. Overall, there was a lot going on in this that makes it the far weaker of the two.

Rating - 4/10

Growing Pains : Return Of The Seavers (2004)

Character - Chrissy Seaver

Plot -

Jason and Maggie are finally ready to sell the house and see the world now that the kids have all moved out. As it turns out, this is not okay with the oldest Seavers, and shenanigans ensue.

Review -

This is the far better of the two Growing Pains movies. The plot is much more engaging and the characters feel more like themselves. Chrissy also gets a lot more of a plotline here as she deals with her awful love life. Overall, it's a better version of what happens to these characters 15 years later.

Rating - 6/10

Otis (2008)

Character - Riley Lawson

Plot -

Teenage girl Riley is the newest victim of serial killer/degenerate loser Otis, who just wants to take a girl to "prom". When a misunderstanding between Riley and her family occurs, they devise a plan to murder her assaulter... and get the wrong guy.

Review -

The first half of this movie was tolerable, almost enjoyable. After Riley's escape, the entire thing goes downhill. Don't let the box art fool you, this is the worst movie I have seen in a *long* time.

The only redeeming quality was Ashley's acting. She was wonderful as always and was the only character I felt any positive emotions towards.

Rating - 3/10

'Tom Ripley returns. Disturbing character born from your pen Patricia Highsmith Despite its numerous adaptations for the big screen, it deserved to have its own television series. after it happened alain delon, Matt Damon, John Malkovich anyone Dennis HopperThe character returns to the screen thanks to Netflix. This time the player Andrew Scott The performance of Scott, who is tasked with giving life to an immoral, blackmailer, fraudster and psychopathic murderer in the version that is nominated to be one of the TV series of the year, is at the same level as his predecessors. This actor was already responsible for reinterpreting the evil Professor Moriarty in the Sherlock version. BBC starring Benedict Cumberbatch. Shooting the entire season in black and white is a risky and elegant artistic decision that underlines the classicism of the story. This is the new version netflix There are pure moments HitchcockA wizard of suspense who once made a great adaptation of another Highsmith novel. Strangers on a train.

At the beginning of the story, Tom Ripley is hired by a person. American millionaire so i go Italy He is looking for his son, from whom he received the revelation to devote himself to art. Painting, sculpture, literature… but he doesn’t seem to be good at any of them, so the ruler plans to send his friend to persuade him to settle down and return home to help run the family. business. When she gets there, Ripley, who is not much of a role model, finds herself fascinated by the bohemian life and will fight tooth and nail to protect this paradise that has fallen upon her without eating or drinking. If in White Lotus the landscapes, art and buildings of Italy shine with their own light, in Ripley they shine with wonderful black and white photography. That’s the way it is after all Federico Fellini He knew how to portray us Sweet life in Rome.

After dealing with minor shenanigans, this new job opens Ripley’s heart. Just as in France, the cliché was that aspiring painters would go to the Caribbean or some exotic island; Here our heroes fell I surrender to classical Italian art. Ripley was particularly impressed by this figure: Caravaggio. HE Baroque painter was as morally ambiguous as Ripleyand was even accused of committing murder during a fight.

Maybe the first two chapters may seem a little slow. The series takes its time to take us where it wants to take us, and that’s where it gets. Third part when the slowly developing intrigues begin to bear fruit in all their glory. There are these scenes great tension will leave the viewer glued to the couch even though nothing is happening not a single line of dialogue If I remember correctly, during a sequence that lasted about half an hour. From the moment the moment of crime entered the scene, The most Hitchcockian moments are coming. Inside PsychosisThe master of suspense managed to make the audience empathize with Norman Bates for a few moments after the legendary shower scene by showing us how the evidence of the crime refuses to sink to the bottom of the swamp. The Netflix series is full of moments like this, where the tension plays out when the killer thinks he’ll be surprised. Makes us empathize with the bad guywithout ever trying to justify or justify everything he did.

Black and white reminds us that we are in another time. Maybe it’s a step away from the technological sophistication of CSI. Ripley is not the perfect criminal, nor are the police immune from occasional screw-ups. with the crime scene. Even though we have a smart and determined investigator leading the investigation, we can’t help but smile when we see him do this from time to time. murder weapon right under their noses without realizing it. Some close-ups on the object serve to remind us of this. You will get the feeling that a part does not fit properly throughout the entire case, but That piece that completes the puzzle and allows the drawing to emerge in your mind in all its glory does not arrive until the last moment., in the scene that closes the series and when it’s too late to do anything. Caravaggio also fled Rome after the murder.

This may be considered a spoiler, but we should not forget this. Mr. Ripley’s talent It is the first of five that Highsmith wrote about the character. This An ambitious mini series that smells of awardsTherefore, it cannot be ignored that the aim of the platform is to adapt all the books of the character. It’s quite a wink that in the final episode, we get a cameo from John Malkovich, who has played the character in the past and here provides him with the documents that allow him to start a new life with a fake identity. art dealer in italyexactly the work that Malkovich did in the film in which he starred.

Black and white is not an unknown format for the person who made this adaptation. Steven Zaillian is an experienced American screenwriter and director whose work includes screenplays. Schlinder’s Listfilm Steven Spielberg The artist skillfully uses the absence of colors in his photographs. As in that movie, we have a scene in the TV series where color is used to highlight a particular object in the shot. How not? It was supposed to be red.

It is noteworthy that although audience data These are often one of the platforms’ best kept secrets, even here Ripley’s poor results were overlooked with a certain pride. Perhaps to attract the attention of an audience that cannot get enough of watching black and white TV series, but whose attention is attracted by baits consisting of comments such as “”.honey is not made for the bear’s mouth”. Let me briefly word of mouth does its magic and best of all, there will be another award, which will allow us to continue bringing the rest of the books to the big screen. Just watch it to see that these doubts about the chosen format are unfounded. One artistic decision This makes the series great. It’s a love letter to the monochrome format and the great classics, where the platform puts emphasis on quality and forgets that it’s not all about numbers. I doubt the final results will be this bad and that scribbled black and white might be the ideal way to go. To inform new generations about the novelist’s literary keys, One of the most important noir writers of the 20th century. Both Zaillian and Andrew Scott have already stated that they want a repeat, but for now we can say goodbye to new episodes until 2026. The wait will be long.'

[ rules + stuff you need to know ]

Absolutely no minors. I’m over 18.. Way over 18. It just doesn’t feel right or comfortable for me to engage with anyone who is a minor for several reasons. So, if you’re underage / your blog is ageless / ageless and content free / content free, you’re most likely going to end up blocked. 

Anyone sending hate in messages or asks / starting fights or being rude to each other in the comments on my posts will be blocked immediately. I’m not here for it, I don’t want any part of it and frankly, I don’t care enough about fandom drama, ship wars or faceless opinion enough to engage further. It’s a waste of time. Just be kind to each other, please? It’s… really not that hard? TLDR; do not fuck up Ashes’ zen/escape space.

Read all warnings. Tags to look for are ← trigger warning; (trigger) or ← warning; (trigger) / any variant of the bolded including ← tw;trigger or ← cw;trigger or if it's just smut, <- warning. adult content. There will also be a warning area on each post, so it’s worth it to check that out before reading. If you ignore the tags / warnings, whatever you end up seeing as a result is your own fault and is now strictly a you problem. If you’re looking to avoid my adult content altogether, the tags you need to look for are ← minors dni; adult intended content or any variation of that including ☠ this symbol or this one ♥ on my masterlist, in the warnings area/tags.

Any requests containing my own personal nopes listed above will be deleted upon receipt. I can’t stress enough how unwilling I am to compromise my personal boundaries.Please respect this, okay? Just don’t send it if I’ve already clearly stated I won’t write it. Requests are done on my own time, in whatever order I feel most motivated to do them in and all requests will not make the cut. If this is a problem for you, you’re being warned in advance. It’s probably not a good idea to request it from me. 

Any character I write for is 18+, regardless of canon. I do not write for minors. My writing isn’t tailored to them so it’s not about them. So, if you’re looking for a writer who writes those younger fandom characters, look elsewhere. End of story. If this bothers you at all, don’t read, ig.

Reader inserts are gender neutral / gn, female and all must be human.Pairings are typically female/male or gn/male and/or gn/female. I’m a person who was born as and identifies as a female and I happen to be straight, so out of respect for everyone, I’m opting to stay in my little lane. 

Occasionally, I have a reader insert that turns out to be well… a little more heavily personified. If this is a problem for you, the tags you need to be on alert for are any variant of ← warning; heavily personified reader ( traits ). If you’re looking to avoid that on my masterlists when I finally get around to remaking them, you’re going to want to avoid anything with ☻ beside the title/description. I’ll probably also put ☻ in the tags too, just to be sure nobody reads anything they don’t want to. 

I write original character pieces. And self inserts. And I enjoy writing them. I stopped posting them to here but.. I’ve recently come to the decision that I’m going to post them again and IDC if they’re ‘unpopular’ or ‘cringe’. If you’re the kind of person who can’t stand reading something with an original character / self insert present, you’ll need to look for ← warning; original character content or any variant of that and this symbol ❃. I’ll put the symbol in my warnings and in the tags just so nobody is forced to read my self-indulgent bullshit, no worries. 

Last but not least.. If the ask box is off or there’s a HIATUS / SEMI HIATUS notice in my bio area on the blog or pinned as a post, requests are closed. Currently, I am.. Still on hiatus. But, I’m *fingers crossed* hoping to return soon.

[shrinkthisviolet]

question time! what is the silliest shenanigan Morgan and Barry have gotten up to together? lol

Ooh I love this question! And this answer will probably change as they get into more shenanigans throughout the AU, but I think currently, the silliest one on my mind is circa s3, when Morgan changes Barry's ringtone to the Little Einstein's theme song 😂

Barry says he'll never give her his phone again after that...so one day, when Morgan's visiting the Westallen loft and Barry's in the shower, Iris looks the other way while Morgan steals Barry's phone and records a very British-esque voicemail on it:

“You’ve reached the voicemail of Bartholomew Henry Allen. I’m afraid I can’t attend to your call right now, but maybe in a million, bajillion years.”

Team Flash, of course, immediately clocks what happened. Unfortunately, Barry also takes business calls on that phone, and a certain British CSI's first introduction to Barry...is by calling him and hearing this voicemail.

Julian is then subsequently disappointed when it turns out Barry Allen is not, in fact, British 😂 but really, that's on him for believing it was really Barry. Morgan was partly raised by a Brit, but her British accent is barely passable on a good day (being raised by Tina taught her British slang, but not the accent very well), and undeniably female.

(Barry, of course, never realizes anything happened until Julian says something, because no one else says a word—they all think it's hilarious 😂)

Title: A work of art Fandom: CSI: Crime Scene Investigation Pairing: Nick/Greg Rating: PG Summary: They had been living together for a few months, and Nick still wondered what some of those products were. A/N: Written for George Eads Appreciation Week/Month. Week 3 (March  12-18) - Rubber Duckie / Roommates: Bath time shenanigans, or roommate  shenanigans to pay homage to the classic duo of Bert & Ernie! 

"Do you really need to put all that stuff on your hair?" Nick asked, eyeing the bottles lined up next to the bathroom sink.

Nick had been a little worried when they had decided to move in together, afraid Greg would bring chaos into his perfectly honed domestic routine and turn his house into a complete mess. But Greg had turned out to be neater than Nick had thought, and while his house was definitely fuller and a little more cluttered, it wasn't the war-zone scenario he had originally envisioned.

With the exception of the bathroom. They had been living together for a few months, and Nick still wondered what some of those products were.
