Tim Staffell Live Talk - May 2022 - Transcript

On May 20, 2022 Tim Staffell gave a 40-minute live talk (and performed with Paul Stewart) ahead of a Bohemian Rhapsody screening at The Exchange in Twickenham. This is a transcription of that event.

Huge thanks to Ribbit London for recording the original audio, and to @riaaanna for sharing it with me so I could write up this transcript!

------------------------------------

[Transcriber Notes: Tim has a slight stutter and speaks with a lot of disfluencies (restarting sentences in the middle, using “um” and “uh” a lot, etc.). I tried to strike a balance between a literal transcription and cleaning this up for ease of reading. Most of the stutters have been omitted, but I kept in any disfluencies that didn’t interfere too much with the flow of what was being said.]

Jim the Emcee: You’ve got an amazing screening tonight. I’m going to keep this bit really short so they can fit in as much as they can. Once again, Tim Staffell and Paul Stewart!

(Audience applauds.)

Tim Staffell: Thank you, Jim. You’ll know this…

(Tim and Paul play “Doing Alright”. Audience applauds.)

Paul Stewart: Thank you.

Tim: Well, of course that song features in the movie. And, um, and I know that Queen themselves recorded it in the early days. I used to think that, perhaps, the… It featured on their first album, I know, I used to think perhaps the reason for that was because when they were coming up to recording their first album they didn’t have enough material, so they decided, “Oh, well we’ll use one of the songs-”

Paul: This is going to be a theme for this evening, maybe. He’s going to distance his own ability and go, “Oh, humble me”...

Tim (talking over Paul): No, no, no, no, no. I really-

Paul: …and I’m saying, because it’s a fucking good song.

(Tim and audience laughs.)

Paul: Which you wrote with Brian, right?

Tim: Yes, it’s true. I really thought, you know, I really thought… I really thought, oh they’re bound to have said, “Oh we’ve only got eleven tunes. What can we do for the twelfth one? Well uhh, uhhh…”

Paul: “What’s that one, been rattling around-?”

Tim (laughing): Yeah, what’s that one been rattling around! So I- You know- But actually it’s crazy because it’s done extremely well and it features in the movie, and I find myself in this latter stage of- late stage of my life with a degree of scrutiny that I wasn’t expecting at all.

To fill you in on that, I was always surprised that when Queen biographies existed - and there have been several of them - and articles that occurred in the early days they always gave me a name check, and I wasn’t quite sure… I always felt mildly embarrassed at that, and the reason was because, you know, I’m- one is aware of all sorts of big-name bands - I mean there were very few that were as big as Queen, I appreciate - but even so, you know, one is still aware of all sorts of big bands but you don’t know the history of those bands. And I always used to think, “Well the history of Queen is exposing me! Why? I- I-”

Paul: Well, well but okay, here he goes dissing himself again, right? (Laughs)

Tim (over Paul): No, no, no, no-

Paul: No, it’s because you were really important to the growth of them. Right from the beginning, with Smile, and Brian and Roger and you, I mean god’s sake-!

Tim: Well it is true- it is true that people have ascribed the eventual sound of Queen as having its origins in the work of Smile. And I suppose I agree with that, although I wouldn’t want to base my own career on it, in case it wasn’t right. But I suppose the Smile album does contain in it the embryonic roots of Queen.

Paul: Yeah but- Yeah but bringing it right up to the- up to now, we’re all going to see this movie tonight - which is a great movie, if you haven’t seen it already you’re gonna really enjoy it… Yet it may well be that several of you have seen it several times…

(Laughter and “Yeah!” from the audience.)

Paul: Umm… How did, how did your involvement in it come about then, Tim? What- I mean-

Tim: Well- Well I mean, I’ve tried to keep a respectful distance from them over the years but I knew the Queen movie was happening. And the last I heard of it, it was- Sacha Baron Cohen was involved and I remember thinking to myself, “Oh, god, how’s that gonna work?” Because I mean I was never- to be honest with you, I was never a big fan of his. I didn’t respond much to the Ali G, uh, thing, cop comedy, and I didn’t actually respond very well to… What’s that- What’s that guy? Borat?

Paul: Borat.

Tim: Borat. Yeah, I- (disgusted noise)

Paul: Anyway, anyway…

Tim: I used to have to turn the telly off because I was embarrassed! But um, but then suddenly Brian phoned me up in 2018 and said, “Well we have a small section in the album- in the movie, which details the Smile- the original Smile, um, thing.” And it’s just a gig, you know, a small gig and this scene is that Freddie, played by Rami Malek, um-

Paul: Brilliantly.

Tim: Brilliantly. Had come- Comes and sees Smile, and of course it’s a bit of artistic license. It didn’t really happen because, as you all know, Freddie and I were good mates at Ealing College and we used to go to each other’s gigs all the time. So, um, so the epiphany that he had going down to the bar in the beginning of the film was- is- that’s artistic license.

But what Brian said was they were having some trouble in achieving an authentic 70s vibe for the sound of the band. And they were trying to hybridize it by using stuff from earlier recordings, from the Queen recordings, and Jack Roth - who’s Tim Roth’s son, who played me in the movie - he was singing it perfectly adequately, in fact perfectly well, but it just wasn’t- it didn’t… It didn’t have that kind of visceral 70s quality, so I-

Paul: That rough, rough…

Tim: Yeah so I assumed that Brian had just said to Roger, “Who do we know who’s a bit rough who’ll come and do this?”

(Paul and audience laughs.)

Tim: So anyway they phone me up and I went to Abbey Road Studios and recorded it, and I didn’t even know whether I could hack it. Um, but-

Paul: But it was good. And Brian asked you to play bass.

Tim: Brian asked me to play bass.

Paul: Yeah, yeah. Which you did.

Tim: Which I did.

Paul: And it’s all kept in the movie, right?

Tim: Yeah, yeah it’s in the movie. And, uh, and I’m very, very grateful.

Paul: But, now we have to look really a long way back, to when you - and I, ‘cause I went to the same school - I was in a band called The Others which was the school band- one of the school bands that we had back then at Hampton School down the road here. So some of the Yardbirds came from that school, and a guy called Murray Head, and also one Brian May. And you and Brian played in a band called 1984!

Tim: Well there were two school bands. I mean during that period- I have to say that I know it’s a poncy private school now but it was-

(Audience laughs.)

Tim: For eighteen years it was a state grammar school.

Paul: Yeah, it was.

Tim: And during that period of time I got a scholarship because my dad was poor, and me mum was poor-

Paul: Didn’t cost anything, by the way, excuse me-

Tim: No, didn’t cost a thing.

Paul: So how come you got a scholarship then?

Tim: What?

(Paul and audience laughs.)

Tim: No I just passed me 11-plus and they said, “You’ll do! You’ll do!” And so anyway… And then of course I blew it. And then I just- you know, I just became a long-haired rockstar at school.

So 1984 and The Others were the two school bands at the time. The difference- The main difference between them was that 1984 was largely a covers band, and The Others were an absolutely authentic 60s R&B band and they were running on the same tracks as the Stones were. And we aspired to be The Others. 1984 aspired to be The Others. And, you know, and Paul has- Paul has got such prominence in this story that I’m just delighted to have suddenly met him five or six years ago and found that we- we’re still-

Paul: We’re still in love.

(Tim and audience laughs.)

Tim: We’re still the schoolboys that we used to be! And, um-

Paul: And actually I have- I have- because I do remember Brian at school, and I remember we used to have kind of in break time, we used to have like “guitar-in’s” kind of, and he would demonstrate and he would always be the fastest and smoothest guy on the- on the guitar. But I do remember he had really, really short hair.

(Audience laughs.)

Tim: Ohh, yes.

Paul (over audience laughter): And he had the most massive ears. I don’t know how they are now, because I haven’t seen them in fifty years, right, his ears. But he was a- he was always a very cool guy and a really bright- he was always so bright.

Tim: Wasn’t it- I don’t mean any disrespect by this, but I remember someone said about Prince Charles, and I’m thinking about Brian as I say this, he said, “Oh yeah he looks just like a Volkswagen with the doors open.”

(Paul, Tim, and audience laughs.)

Tim: But so- Yeah well Brian was- I think Brian was- and I firmly believe he was the quintessential nerd.

Paul: He was.

Tim: And I think he still is. Because when I talk to him about, you know, astronomy - because I was always an armchair astronomer myself. I’m just as interested in astronomy, but I don’t have the academic underpinnings that Brian has - but Brian and I are able to converse about astronomical things-

Paul: For about two minutes, right?

Tim: For about- Yeah, until he leaves me behind. But I do know stuff! I honestly know stuff! I do, I promise, I promise!

(Audience laughs.)

Paul: Anyways, so- So! School- school finished and you decided that was enough, and you had your long hair and you decided to go to art college…

Tim: Brian went to Imperial College.

Paul: Yeah.

Tim: I went to art college but we did- But Brian was a mate. Brian used to come over to my house. I used to go to his house. We decided that we would stay together musically. And so that’s when we decided-

Paul: And then you decided to form- where you had a four or five piece band you decided to make it a trio.

Tim: Because we dug Jimi Hendrix and we dug Cream and we dug, uh… Well I mean you could even say The Who were a trio because, you know, Roger Daltrey was only the singer. I’m sorry Roger, but you know musically speaking they were a trio. Guitar, bass, and drums. And that’s what we wanted to be and we wanted to sing harmonies… We wanted to be an intelligent, heavy trio.

Paul: So this is you and Brian, but you didn’t have a drummer.

Tim: We didn’t have a drummer.

Paul: So what happened then?

Tim: Well we got a dustbin and uh…

(Paul and audience laughs.)

Paul: And what was his name?

(Tim and audience laughs.)

Tim: No we put an ad on the students’ union notice board in Imperial College for a drummer. And Roger turned up. Roger was a- I think he was at King’s College Hospital doing dentistry. I mean, I may have gotten some of this wrong but- and some of you guys may well have- be able to say, “No, you’re wrong! You’re wrong! You’re wrong!” But, um, and I’m sorry if that’s the case because I- my memory is, you know, god it’s such a long time ago…

Roger came down to a flat in I think Addison Gardens, was it? In Shepherd’s Bush. With his drums and he set-up and he played and we- our jaws just went clunk ‘cause they hit the floor because he was such a flamboyant player and we hadn’t seen anybody that skillful who was able to- There was this great thing he used to do. He used to stand on the bass drum pedal, hit the crash cymbal, and then hold it tight to stop it ringing. So it’d be [imitates drum noise]. And Brian and I- I think Brian and I compared notes afterwards. We went, “Wow!”

Paul: “That’s all we need. We just need-”

Tim: “We just need that!” Yeah. And of course Roger could sing and that was the-

Paul: Yeah, that’s right.

Tim: That was the- that was the…

Paul: So… So then you formed Smile.

Tim: Yup.

Paul: And you were still at college and you had this friend that you met that had a band, right? And his name was Freddie…

Tim: Freddie was- Freddie and I were in the same group at college, at Ealing Art College, doing graphic design. People often say, “Look, yeah but you know you could tell that he was special then, couldn’t you?” But actually, no, you couldn’t.

Paul: That was one of my questions.

Tim: Because we were all- We were just all aspirational teenagers. Well we weren’t… We were teenagers. Yeah, we were aspirational late teen hopefuls. All of us were. We all had plans. Freddie’s plans were obviously instinctively better formed because I think, you know, as time went on and as- before we graduated I think it became apparent that Freddie’s plans were forming in his head. You know I- if I’d bothered to pay attention at that time I’d have realized that he was much more focused than I was.

Paul: You know one of the things that I kind of recall from that, compared to how it is nowadays - I mean over the last few decades - is I don’t think any of us thought that we were going to be like massive stars and own loads of money and go on international tours… It kind of didn’t quite happen yet. Just starting to happen, wasn’t it?

Tim: Well…

Paul: Maybe Freddie had a vision…

Tim: Well except that I-

Paul: Maybe it’s just me.

Tim: Except that, um, that I do remember Freddie saying a couple of times, “I’m going to be a superstar, darling!”

(Audience laughs.)

Paul: Yeah.

Tim: And you know a lot of us in the class would probably say, “Yeah, sure you are, Freddie. Sure you are.”

Paul: But he was.

Tim: But we were proven wrong. And I think, you know-

Paul: Big time.

Tim: What we didn’t… What we didn’t- Because I think we were all- Those of us who were musicians, I think we were all competent but I don’t think we understood the value of presentation in quite the same way that he did. And history shows us that he developed it to a higher standard than-

Paul: Almost anybody else.

Tim: Almost anybody, you know?

Paul: Almost anybody else, in my opinion. And he was a great songwriter, I mean really. And a great performer and a fantastic showman, right?

Tim: Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Paul: I mean he could put all three those things together, and you got the makings of this movie, right?

Tim: I mean people have often said to me, “Look, you know, weren’t you jealous?” And I say, well, I was envious. I wasn’t really destructively jealous because the point is I knew damn well that I was never that sort of performer. I could not do that. I was self-conscious, I was- I was confident that I was a reasonable musician but I was not confident enough to strut my stuff the way Freddie did. I mean-

Paul: So actually, I wanted to- I wanted to ask you this because I know you well enough, ‘cause you know I’ve known you for quite a few years now, more years than-

Tim: To call me an idiot, yes.

(Audience laughs.)

Paul: I mean a lot of bands that have made it, made it, made it have had casualties on the way. People who didn’t quite… They were fired just before the band made it and so they-

Tim: Yeah, yeah.

Paul: And a few of them are bitter and twisted, and you know they sue for a share of the spoils and all that kind of stuff. And I don’t see you in that light whatsoever. You are not that kind of person. And you, of course, made the decision on your own back to leave Smile because it didn’t suit what you wanted- It wasn’t your dream, right? It was maybe more Brian’s and Roger’s dream, you know…

Tim: Well…

Paul: And you had another dream.

Tim: Well to be honest with you I’m still waiting for the lawyer to get back to me.

(Paul, Tim and audience laughs.)

Paul: That ruins the magic.

Tim: No I tell you what… I’m just checking where we are with this… What happened was that I left because I’d actually- the point is I’d started to meet up with other musicians on a casual basis - well not so much casual just slightly jamming basis - and I was beginning to be seduced by this side of music that was completely different, which- It was like- It was blues and jazz in the sense that you could play a song one night and then you could play it the next night completely differently! And I rather liked that. I rather liked that improvisational approach to music. It meant that it was very, very difficult to refine songs to their best presentation but it was actually a lot of fun.

And I got- And then at that point I went to the States. Soon after- the minute I left Smile I went to the States for about four or five months and I played with a load of musicians there and they were all playing- improvising, you know, solos and improvising songs and I just kind of fell in love with that approach. And so when I came back to England I just searched out that kind of player.

Paul: Yeah, yeah.

Tim: And I think I’ve remained that way ever since. It’s not a recipe for success, unfortunately.

Paul: Well I mean it can be. I mean Hendrix didn’t do too badly, you know…

Tim: True, true. Very true.

Paul: But- but Queen’s inimitable style is very much more structured.

Tim: Oh, absolutely. Yeah, yeah.

Paul: The songs are very well-structured. And I just want to say this, because I don’t know that Brian gets all the credit he’s due for being the guitarist that he is, actually. He’s a very fantastic guitarist, you know. And in a structured environment it’s quite difficult to recognized somebody who’s just going to go off on one like Hendrix would have done, but Brian is a fantastic player.

Tim: Yeah, no, he is. He’s an extraordinarily good player.

Paul: And he’s such a good guy!

Tim: Yeah, yeah.

Paul: He’s a genuinely nice man, you know, and you don’t get that combination too often.

Tim: No, no. No he’s- like I say, he’s still the lovable nerd that he always was. You know you could tell, he redid his PhD, he’s well into the stereo… stereoscopy, is it called? With the 3-D? You know he has other interests, he has- he’s a wildlife champion, I mean you know…

Paul: And he’s just produced another album, right?

Tim: I think it’s a reissue, isn’t it?

Paul: Is it? Is it? Oh, yeah, I don’t know…

Tim: I believe…

Paul: And they’re just about to go on tour. Anybody going to see them? One or two, yeah, good.

Tim: Yeah.

Paul: Yeah, excellent. Okay, so!

Tim: So, um, why don’t we- Look I tell you what, look, I have this- I have three CDs to give away of mine, which Jim has somewhere, I’ve given them to Jim, and now you- They’re really good for resting coffee cups on.

(Audience laughs.)

Tim: So, um, but I have three seat numbers here and if you’re fortunate enough to sit in these seats you will be the recipient of a wonderful coffee cup holder. Coaster.

Paul: Signed!

Tim: Signed, by the way, yeah! So only have cold drinks, or otherwise the writing will smudge.

(Audience laughs.)

Tim: Okay, so, my first choice is seat B12 qualifies for a CD.

(Audience murmurs.)

Paul: Are you there? Oh, wow!

(Paul, Tim and audience applaud.)

Tim: And also- also if you fold the booklet up, it’ll go under the leg of a rickety table as well.

(Audience laughs.)

Tim: And the next one is seat number E4.

Paul: E4!

(Paul, Tim, and audience cheer and applaud.)

Tim: And finally…

Paul: A1?

Tim: No, no!

Paul: No.

Tim: That’s you! Cheeky monkey. Finally… J22.

(Paul, Tim, and audience cheer and applaud.)

Tim: Excellent, thank you very much! We’re going to continue with- of course, we’re running out of time, predictably. We’re going to run through a tune of mine which is- we’re talking about emotional stuff. This is a tune basically for people who are in prison. It’s called “Love of the People”.

(Tim and Paul play “Love of the People”. Audience applauds.)

Tim: Thank you!

Paul: Great song. Which album was that on?

Tim: Since… I suppose really I never- When I left Smile and I moved on I stayed as a musician for about six years, and then I think my wife started to exert pressure to earn…

Paul: Maternal instincts.

Tim: Yeah, so that was part of it as well.

Paul: You had four children!

Tim: Yeah, I had four kids. Yeah they- But I clearly had to- I mean a lot of you probably know this, I clearly had to change careers. So I went back to what I used to do initially which was graphic design and then I ended up- I got working in TV special effects. And in fact you probably know that I was the chief model maker on Tommy the Tank Engine-

(Audience cheers.)

Tim: - for the first series, and then continued working in film and TV commercial right up to 2000.

Paul: That’s a- That’s a serious career, that’s like 40 years…

Tim: It was the best fun I ever had, to be honest with you! I mean special effects is just such fun! You won’t believe it! And I mean I did a lot of animation, you know, stop frame animation as well. I mean, I just- it was, as a consolation prize for having been a failed musician-

Paul: Well!

Tim: -I couldn’t have wished for better!

Paul: There we go, okay then.

Tim: But the thing is I kept playing, and when I retired- during the years that I retired I decided to go back to it. And I’ve made three albums now. Four albums! Well, now, Paul we’ve got this- there’s an album- Someone’s- One of you lucky people has got hold of “How High” which is the album I did with Paul. And there are two other albums of mine, and in fact I just finished-

Paul: You’ve just finished another one. Just-

Tim: I’ve just finished-

Paul: -this week, you’ve finished mastering it.

Tim: Finished mastering my third solo album this week.

Paul: And what’s it called? What’s it called?

Tim: The album’s called “Wayward Child”.

Paul: Ah, yeah.

Tim: And-

Paul: And when- when and where can we get it?

Tim: Uh, it- Well I’m not sure yet, but within three or four months it’ll be available on Spotify.

Paul: Okay.

Tim: So all the other stuff is available on Spotify if you’re interested. I think I’m a good songwriter.

Paul: Yeah.

(Audience applauds.)

Tim: It’s important- It’s important to me. I mean, I’m a serious songwriter. Nevermind whether I’m good or not, but I’m serious about it. So, you know, with a bit of luck one or two of them songs might be pretty good.

Paul: I mean you’re one of the guys, ‘cause again I know you quite well, who… You feel something, something’s going on in your life, and a way of processing it and expressing it is to write a song about it. And that’s how a lot of your songs are, actually.

Tim: And it is true to say that when I left Smile, one thing I never dropped was the fact that I am hardwired to write songs. Even in, you know, even in all the other- even in the career and everything like that, I’ve always written songs. You know? And, um…

Paul: What’ve we got- How are we for time? Because we don’t want to interfere with the movie…

Tim: Don’t want to interfere with the movie… It’s two minutes past eight.

Paul: Shall we do one more- one more tune?

Tim: Yeah, let’s do another tune. We could do, uh… Well let’s do “Redwood”, do you think?

Paul: Yeah. Which is one of mine.

Tim: Yeah, we’re gonna do a- Having said I’m a good songwriter, we’re now going to do one of Paul’s.

(Audience laughs.)

Tim: Because Paul is a good songwriter too, and this needs to be public knowledge. So I hope you enjoy this song. I want you to tell everybody about it.

Paul: Yeah, yeah. It suddenly occurred to me, and I’d read something about in the late 19th century up to present day, apparently, the redwood trees in California, and they’re like a mile high and they’re beautiful, beautiful examples of, you know, of wild tree life, right? And what happened once they started chopping them down, chopping them up into sections, and shipping them out of California down through Arizona, New Mexico, chopping them up for firewood and flogging them. I mean, can you believe it? And I mean now it’s very important that those things are protected, but back in the early 2000s there was a Redwood League created to protect the redwood trees. And this is a little bit of a reference to that. I thought it was just disgusting.

(Tim and Paul play “Redwood”. Audience applauds.)

Paul: Thank you.

Tim: Well I think we’re just about at the end now folks so, I mean, enjoy the movie! We all know it’s great, I mean… The word is that they’ve done a cracking job of condensing 15 years into two hours, and although there may be some things that aren’t strictly accurate in terms of historical veracity-

Paul: The spirit-

Tim: The emotional content is maintained, and the emotional integrity is maintained. And I was proud to be involved with it, frankly. So do enjoy it.

Paul: Thank you very much, Tim Staffell. And thank you for coming tonight!

(Audience applauds.)

Jim the Emcee: Ladies and gentlemen, Paul Stewart and Tim Staffell. Thanks guys, thank you, thank you very much, thank you… We’ve got a really short interval because it’s quite a long film, so as my mate says…

(Recording ends.)

4. Training

Another one for @starlightcleric's Owlcatober 2022 challenge on the actual right date this time. Added to chapter 3 of The Lark and the Crow on AO3.

***

Woljif had found a good spot in the Crusade camp from which he could observe the changing of the guard around the supply depot. He and Wilcer Garms, the quartermaster, had come to an understanding, because while Crusade logistics got its footing Wilcer was not above an under-the-table deal with the Thieflings now and then, and was willing to tolerate a certain amount of skulking in exchange.

The truth was, Woljif was only keeping half an eye on the supply guards, his mind turned instead to his current dilemma. On the one hand, there was tremendous gain to be had from this Crusade and its flocks of wet-behind-the ears recruits, not to mention free meals, free equipment, a weekly stipend as a member of the Knight-Commander’s inner circle, and his share of the loot. As he explained to anyone who would listen, he was not a Crusader but an independent contractor, and was not above making an honest living as long as he had his side-hustle. On the other hand, were he to set in motion the most potentially profitable of his ideas, he would have to scarper at some point, sooner rather than later, and Kenabres wouldn’t be far enough.

His tail was restless. The temptation to pull a monumental scam had almost overcome him that very morning, when a band of brash young Brevans had swaggered into camp with shiny new untested swords and hankies embroidered by their mums, boasting loudly about the mountains of demon trophies they would send home, and one of them took Woljif as an example and made as if to chop off his tail while his companions shouted with laughter.

As always, Woljif’s reflex was neither to lash out nor to mope off. He yanked his tail back in a cold sweat and forced himself to laugh. “Yeah, but tiefling tails’re a dime a dozen around here,” he began, and then had to bite his tongue. Real money’s in the bonafide demon tails, because that’s the secret ingredient in the Potions of Mighty Prowess and Virility that are all the rage in the Fifth Crusade. Haven’t heard of ‘em? Of course not, they’re strictly off-limits, hush-hush like. Ask around, you’ll see, everybody acts dumb. But I can hook you up. And better yet, I got a whole shipment a’ demon tails caught up in red tape at the port in Egede. Could sell ‘em for ten times what they’re asking. Sure, we can do business. You front me the cash and I’ll take care of it, triple your investment overnight.

Blustering knuckleheads’d fall for it arse over teakettle. And then Woljif, pockets bursting, would have to find new hunting grounds. End of his contract with the Fifth Crusade.

Worth it, or not? That was the dilemma.

As he mulled it over, the infuriating thing was that he couldn’t keep his mind straight. It kept wandering off from a strict accounting of risks and benefits to less tangible assets like fr—allies he could leverage.

Which led him to speculate on yet more profitable—and oddly appealing—ideas. One of which he had pitched the day before.

“You like travelling around and charming people, eh chief? I got a plan for you. We ditch this Crusade mess and set you up as a touring bard. I’ll take care of promotion and tickets to your shows and all that boring stuff. We advertise, I don’t know, ten gold a seat, but then when they come to buy the tickets we hit ‘em with a service charge, get fifteen or twenty easy. Then we hold off on the last hundred tickets, say the show’s sold out, wait for people to get desperate, then scalp ‘em. We could get ten times that much.”

“Wait, Woljif. What’s the point of all this?”

“Well, you get to do what you like, and I get rich.”

Siavash blinked in surprise.

“All right, I’ll cut you in.”

Siavash started to laugh. Woljif winced internally, but then realized his laughter wasn’t at all mocking or derisive, and for some reason he found himself laughing along.

“As long as you’re milking the rich, why not?” Siavash shrugged. “Sounds like fun.”

Now it was Woljif’s turn to blink in surprise. Wait, is he pulling my tail--?

“But although this Crusade is indeed a mess, it’s my mess, so I plan on sticking with it a while longer. And I think you overestimate my talent as a musician.”

“No chief, you’re good. Uh, I mean, everybody says so.”

Recalling the conversation, Woljif found himself running the scenario through his mind. It really was a pretty good idea, and once he’d made a name for himself he could invest in signing on more bards and theater troupes, and make money hand over fist all across Avistan. Of course, the chief would still be the main attraction, chosen of the gods and hero of the Fifth Crusade and all that. Maybe he’d make him a full partner at some point. If things went well. And then…

He realized he wasn’t paying attention to the guards anymore when the sound of familiar laughter lured him out of his reverie. Whatever. The depot guards could wait; he could come back another time and pick up where he left off. He slipped out of his spot behind Wilcer’s tent and slunk off, laying low as he went just in case more Brevan buffoons were roving around looking for tieflings to torment.

The laughter came from a swath of open sparring ground beyond the Eagle Watch camp. Siavash and Seelah were faced off with bucklers and wooden training swords, and he was waving his shield and jumping madly out of the way of her heavy swipes any way he could. She was relentless. He was goofing around. Yet somehow, as Woljif watched with an incredulous half-smile, he was dodging quite effectively. Never got anywhere near hitting her, that said. So much for the traveling gladiator idea.

Finally Seelah stopped to catch her breath, shaking her head and chuckling. “You want to learn how to do this right or not?”

“Mostly I just don’t want to get hit.”

“Yeah, you’re actually pretty good at that part.”

“So I am doing it right,” Siavash grinned.

“All right, one more time. Work on your form. Keep your shield up—up!”

“My shield is exactly where I want it.”

Seelah sighed. “I’m not actually going to hit you in the jewels.”

“I know, but I’m not here to learn how to fight paladins. Demons fight dirty.”

That was Woljif’s cue. “Fightin’ dirty’s the only way to do it,” he said, sauntering over with his hands in his pockets, “if you don’t wanna get skinned. Lemme show you something, chief.” He kept talking, his eyes on Siavash, but as soon as he drew near to Seelah, who had let her guard down, he whipped in and hooked her right foot and she went unceremoniously down on her backside, and sat in the dust shaking her head at the two of them. Woljif shrugged.

Siavash lent Seelah a hand up.

“Teach him how to hide behind the furniture while you’re at it,” she said to Woljif with a dour look.

He was obviously proud of himself, so she went on, “You know, that little stunt only works when they don’t see you coming.”

“How much you wanna bet?”

“Come on, then. Just try.” Seelah settled into a supple, balanced stance, wooden sword aligned over the top of her buckler.

Woljif exchanged a glance with Siavash, who tossed him the training sword.

Seelah closed. Woljif circled. He feinted a couple of times just to test her, but felt the wind of the training sword as it flew past his ear, a little too close for comfort. She wasn’t swinging hard, but that was definitely going to smart. Part of him wondered why he’d gotten involved in this in the first place.

The trick was to get her to pivot or lunge so he could catch her while her balance was vulnerable—and most of all, not to get hit. He backed up a couple of steps but she didn’t take the bait. Then, with a cunning smirk, he gave a little mental push.

A gout of blue flame and a looming darkness shot up behind him. In consternation, Seelah lunged at it. He darted in under her buckler and tried to kick her foot out from under her, but the foot hardly budged, planted steadfastly in the dirt. Her training sword slashed through where the shadow hovered an instant before and Woljif winced, expecting a humiliating smack to his exposed hindquarters, when Siavash just nudged the back of her knee. That was all it took, with Woljif’s boot against her shin, to topple her again.

She sat in the dust and sighed.

Siavash helped her up again. “Come on, let me buy you a drink.”

“You owe me two now.” She brushed dirt off the back of her padded overcoat.

“Join us, Woljif?”

There was a heartbeat’s surprised pause. “Sure, yeah.”

As the three of them dropped off their weapons and headed for the beer cart, Woljif spied the Brevan recruits he’d run across earlier that morning, watching him go by in the company of one badass paladin and the Knight-Commander himself. Which brought his mind back to his dilemma. This would be an unhoped-for boost to his credibility, should he go ahead with the scam. On the other hand—he glanced sidelong at the chief and they exchanged a grin—better opportunities might be on the horizon with this Crusade.

As long as it was winning.

Triage Live Blogging

Been meaning to watch this since it was released around this time in 2022 but there was such a debacle with the airing, like airing for a 2 hour window on Youtube before it's taken down lol I hope I like it, I enjoy time fuckery and seeing the one you love die over and over again in front of you.

From what I've seen, everybody seems to have really, really liked this except maybe some messiness (?) at the end.

Ep 1 (May 1)

wait... the doctor addressing the other guys as Nong... didn't see his outfit properly but is he a college student? I hope he is, I want age gap yay

18th July, 9PM

ah, so the nong was speeding and ran into a motorcycle

I've been made aware of the clock saying accurate time...

oh he's still a student in his final year of residency, so not as big of an age gap as if he was already a doctor

so the Intern is below P'Tin and she had to have completed at least 6 years of M.D + gotten license and is currently doing her internship, so Tin must've done all this already? I don't fully know what the steps are to become a doctor, esp in Thailand

Nong is 22 years old

I wish the subs were easier to read, especially since it gives like medical info and background

ah, both of them passed away... (at 10:55pm)

Ah, seems like Tin's sister had previously been in an accident because of a drunk person (and she died I'm guessing?)

who is that security guard, hm

oh, he went back to 9:50PM, does he only get back to this time or gradually earlier and earlier? or maybe he gets to go through more of the time and into the next day(s) before he's back into the cycle?

how do you even do your work as a doctor when you're in this situation lol

"If you want to escape this whirlpool, you have save that kid." - the security guard mans

Jinta - chief of court of justice of heaven or smth

omg uncountable number of loops, I would've said fuck it and tried to off myself fr

cat named Zebra

2 Years Ago: the accident where his sister presumably died

yeah, i expect resentment that he's in this loop to save this random kid but wasn't given the chance for his sister

ah, he thinks the kid deserves to die, not surprising

He now woke up at 7AM of that day

pls mans faked fainting instead of doing the test, i was wondering what's up with the sudden funny music

oh, he wakes up where he fell asleep at the time he previously fell asleep there

dang, if the kid dies 2 months from now, will Tin go back into the loop? but probably won't come back 2 months earlier right, just to the last time he slept at some place

so funny, he went to a college to some random kid and told him you will die tonight and the only way to survive is to never die

Pretty interesting so far, I'm excited. I actually don't know how romance-heavy this is but I know we get at least some romantic moments

oh spoiler, I think I read something about in the end, the other guy gets into the loop? Also... is there something about organ trafficking?

Also, the comments here mentioned the drama with OffGun fans, I remember I was into OffGun at the time after Not Me and followed some fans and bruh, they were so cagey and acting as if this show was the devil. lol whatever

Ep 2 (May 1)

ah, Tin wants to return to his hometown to work

Nong guy rich and beautiful and good student and a model and good at sports? I was gonna say let's kill him but instead we're trying to save him...

oh, Tonnam is here, named Sing. when will his Sci-Fi Wish You Luck series come out?

loll Tin's killing technique of just pretending to be dizzy/faint/whatever

Warit?

pls he really went to tell him about dying tonight and in front of friends too

I can't tell if they're hinting as a P'Sing/Gap side couple

Wonder what's up with Tol's girlfriend? something about some guys joking? and what's up with the bag?

getting into the car with him loll

fun exchange but i get Tin's frustration like wtf is he even supposed to do? i guess he should find some sort of proof that he's indeed in a loop, like figuring out what's gonna happen and telling it to Tol

Ah, some bastard did something to his gf Mai?

c'mon, translate what he's writing, idk Thai

Jinta's here to remind Tin about consequences and butterfly effect, so maybe this time Tin'll actually succeed in saving Tol for tonight? but maybe have fucked up something in his own life

Who is this Warit? esp in relation to Sing? I wonder if Sing's also in a time loop with target Warit or no?

okay he didn't react with recognition when Tin asked Sing how he'd react if a stranger came to tell him he'd die tonight, so I guess he's not in a loop

oh, is Warit somebody Sing thinks of as his little brother?

Warit died because of Tin's actions?

Ah, Tin was able to treat Warit but Sing wasn't? Which is why when Sing took over for Tin, Warit died?

ah... missing kidney? Organ trafficking...

So he can return to a previous day as he wants? idgi like how's he gonna go to the 17th?

Ep 3 (May 1)

girl, I'm already on ep 3 and I started this in the afternoon...

pls Tol is waiting for just oneeee hint that Tin's with whatever dudes and he'll beat the shit out of him again

plsssss Tin's so silly, mans has Tol's account in his Facebook history and knows that Tol's suspicious of him but still handed it over to become friends. fr stressing me out

aw, poor cat

Tin giving Tol his white shirt and doing his best to not look as Tol changes lol

ah, Warit is Fluke (ex-GMMTV, My Gear Your Gown)

Professor Sak, Director-to-be, probably smuggling organs

oh, we're straight up asking if Gap's secretly in love with Sing lol

pls, the way Art's acting as if insinuating that Tin and Tol fucked, which is why Tol's wearing Tin's shirt now like girl... Tol has a gf?

The teacher told the students about somebody attempting suicide?

idek their age gap but I'm into it, idkidk

aw, Tin's gonna take care of Tol's cat

as soon as he said sorry to hear that, Tin should've jumped in like "AND THAT'S WHY YOU NEVER DRIVE WHILE DRUNK OR PICK UP CALLS OR BECOME DISTRACTED !!!!"

Tin lowkey already falling for Tol like okay

lol Tol accidentally telling Tin to marry him by telling him to find a wife that's close to him

hm... Doi is working with Sak and Mai's asking Doi about her mom... are they harvesting Mai's mother's organs or something?

Who is Tol's father? Doi refers to him as Khun Tol. oh wait Sak's friend's son right

Tol uses 'ter' with Mai

bruh, Tol's pride making it so that he throws Mai a party and pressures her to attend it despite her wanting to spend time with her sick mother... Are they gonna make Mai be a bad person or something?

Ah, he has his friend Fang who knows Tin likes men? I didn't even know fully if Tin knew he liked men lol but I guess it makes sense based on how he acted around Tol but didn't get freaked out about his feelings/attraction

pls it makes me so nervous whenever Tin tells or almost tells Tol about not going/dying/not driving, whatever. at least it's a consolation that Tol's gonna die and not remember the weird shit Tin pulls? it's lol in the worst way

Mai's contact named Heart... assuming that's not Tol?

Throughout the whole ep, as Tin and Tol became closer, I was losing my mind at how you become closer to somebody knowing that they're a high chance they'll die tomorrow. Not only is Tin becoming friends and closer to Tol but he's gonna fall in love too.

Ep 4 (May 2)

ah, Mai's Heart contact and her are taking a break, so not necessarily cheating? Actually a break isn't the same thing as a break-up umm

omg wait... she's using Tol's status and money to take care of her mother... i get her lol

there's so much happening in this loop, will we have everything be undone? Like progress with Tol but also the stuff with Sak (and him saying 'deal with Warit' to Doi) and also Tin with his friend. but maybe this loop will have Warit die because of Doi's meddling, so next loop Tin'll stop Sing from barging into Sak's office

oh tin, at least pretend to check what's wrong with the patient(s), now Doi is like hmm did Tin already know about our plan to mess with Rit?

nervous meeting for both Sak and Tin

omg... okay Tol wasn't drunk but this time him, Art, and the motorcycle grandpa all got into the accident

Tol dead again and Art in a coma

oh? Something revealing in Tol's autopsy results? In the r/boyslove on-air thread for eps 1 - 3, somebody mentioned that maybe Tol and Tin's sister have a connection, like maybe Tol has his sister's organ or something in him, maybe that's what it'll reveal?

Sak behaved weirdly with a case of an uncle 2 months ago...

Sing becoming jealous/possessive when Tin's affectionate with Gap lol

in the hallucination, Tol says "please take care of my heart for me" okay... heart hm

ah, Tol had a heart failure, okay everything's pointing to issues with the heart

I wonder what Sak had told the autopsy guy in that call right after Tin had asked for the autopsy results

I don't care about Manner of Death or MaxTul, so this was just awkward for me lol

girl why are you driving right now, be fr

bruh yeah scary why drive

Ep 5 (May 2)

A new loop begins: June 17

lol incredibly specific questioning and diagnosis in a coffee shop just after hearing that Tol gets somewhat tired about playing soccer but i mean if it works, it works

"It's not gonna hurt, is it?" oh girl you've died so many times now

bruh these fuckers blamed another student for cheating? and the prof irritating af for just being like yeah Warit i believe you're the cheater cuz I found it near your desk

bruh, the cheaters said that they saw Warit cheat?

but what's up with the previous loop where the girl and the guy were talking as if Warit made them pass (through cheating) but Tol didn't know what that was fully about? like the girl stopped the guy from speaking about it to Tol?

agh, are they gonna make it be like Tol somehow had no idea about the cheating or about copying Warit's project idea and somebody else in the group did it?

Tin still believes in Tol and that he'd feel guilty for doing the cheating stuff to Warit

Interesting that Sing and Fang are independently suspicious of and are kinda investigating Sak and Doi. good that not everything depends on Tin (well Tin was even defending Sak at the beginning 2 months ago with the Uncle's case)

her other boyfriend coming to save her from the debt collectors, yikes

what was the name of the patient Dr. Fang checked? Was it Mai's mom and the medicine Doi & Sak are assigning her?

hehe in this iteration, Tin helps out Tol and gets a nice Tol who trusts him. they're cute. i'm sad that this is gonna be over and Tol's gonna die and he's gonna go back to step 0 while Tin will be stuck in a loop still

I think there's a tiktok that I've liked for Triage and it begins in this clock tower but idk if they're up here in another iteration too

no way Tol leaning in that far lmfaooo he was crowding in fr. they're doing too many face shots and I didn't realize just how much Tol had leaned in

Tin is familiar to Tol? Y'know Gap also said something about the situation earlier was familiar... would people kinda realize that they've lived this before/they're in a loop?

omg, Tin's trying once again to tell Tol about the time loop

omg klasdjflaksdfj kl;asdfj ahhh kissing Tol to stop him from leaving ahhhhh

So did Tol's cat not get injured in this version?

I'm impressed that so far, the story hasn't gotten boring and despite us going through similar scenarios or reveals, the show doesn't quite feel repetitive. They're changing up the scenes enough and finding newer questions or answers so that each loop gives something new.

Ep 6 (May 2)

I wish I had the patience to savour this show and watch like 1 ep, maybe max 2 eps a day.

pushing him off and leaving, as expected

omg, the reason Mai was dragged out by the guy (her real bf lol) from the party was because he was at the hospital and realized Doi and Sak had drugged Mai's mother (to kill her and likely harvest her organs) and so wanted to take her there...

these fucking doctors not calling Mai directly...

omg Tol seeing boys kiss and remembering Tin kissing him...

wait, Tol just had a memory of that car crash? even though he hasn't experienced it yet?

Ah, Tol finally believing it's not the first time that they're meeting/he's dying in front of Tin. I saw a gif when looking for ep 5 gifs of this moment

From Tol getting flashbacks to his previous death and now finally believing this loop thing, I wonder if he'll kinda remember stuff in his next loop?

lol Sing and Gap push and pull

Ahh, Tin crying that he doesn't want Tol to forget about him anymore

June 19th

I wish there was a way for them to realize the overlap that the woman who was taken for the surgery is Mai's mother, then talk to Mai and the guy about her condition last night

lmfao Ton and Tin childhood connection

ah, Tin now finds about the Mai and her mother in the hospital connection

ah, the guy's name is Heart lmfao I thought it was an endearment

sorry they can't make me hate Heart. i get Tin being disappointed but not angry at her because idk her actions are understandable even if immoral

bruh organ trafficking right under everybody's noses + caught on CCTV

They fucking killed Fang or what omgggg... crazy. okay at least Tol is dying soon so that we can restart the loop cuz omg

oh? Tin doesn't remember things right away? "The longer I turn back time, the longer it takes me to remember everything"

oh he wants to back a week to June 11

Also, I realized Jinta reminds me of the story in Dead Friend Forever, hmm is this a common name for Thai supersition and stuff?

Ep 7 (May 3)

23.5 Episode 9 is out since it's Monday but I kinda don't wanna watch it right now? I might just finish out Triage in the next 2-3 days and then watch the next 23.5 episode. Since it's like a regular high school drama, feels like I don't feel the urgency to really know what's gonna happen next.

oops I've been saying June but it's July 11

Tin trying to remember everything and make a to-do list and here's one that needs Tol to fall in love with him lol

Aw Tin, Tol would def fall for you lol

hilarious to have Todo #3: Tol must be Tin's boyfriend

they're so awkward (as they always are at first), i'm crying

Tol's mom (Pang) is so pretty

wonder if Tol's dad would be involved in this at all? I assume they just know each other and isn't into the organ trafficking

why is Tol's dad negging him in front of Tin lol so mean

ah, they're in Chiang Mai

must be wild to be falling in love with Tol but 1) he doesn't remember you 2) he doesn't like you 3) he's gonna die if you don't save him

Gap keeps remembering that Tin asks Sing to switch shifts with him everytime lol

he ain't gonna let the tutoring go

klasdfj pls "I just miss you, that's all" i love him just inserting himself as a love line

Tol is a real jackass fr

hmm Dear... is Tol jealous of her with Tin?

Ep 8 (May 3)

heh jealous Tol

ah, she's Tin's ex

"But I don't have anybody in my mind yet na" *sparkly music*

damn we see the full scene of when Tol drowned

ahhh Tol being the one who asks to spend time with Tin for a change by asking to see Seudam

spoiled enough that as a college student doesn't know how to even crack an egg, oh Tol

okay they're gonna retcon some of Tol's assholery right? Cuz he's quite a dick from what we assume but they might not want the literally romantic interest male lead to be that way

Ah, Tin encouraging Tol to do the right thing (assuming about the cheating thing tomorrow when they blame Rit?)

I've seen the first shot at 16:00 when they're tutoring in the beginning of an edit too

damn, not even any situation of them deciding to have Tin stay over and sleep in the same bed?

ah, Tol dreaming of drowning that one time but also dying in past loops

Tin telling Tol that it's just a dream. I wonder when (or if...) Tol will find out and believe the loop thing, will it be in this loop or a future one, if at all until he ends up in a loop himself

hm... Rit and Tol and Art making up

okay Tol changed this loop to defend Rit and say whose it is (and he didn't cheat this time, so didn't have to face any consequences himself). wonder how it'll play out since there have been some pretty big changes for Warit since the original loop and they now kowkey have enemies in Pair and Win (?)

girl, don't tell Tol on the phone?! meet up face-to-face

hope the extent of the cheaters' revenge is just exposing Mai having a bf

aw man, are we gonna have Tin having Tol wait for a long time or what?

omggg agh I wanted to have Tin tell Tol about it but now Pear's sent Tol the photo of Mai and the guy agh

and thennnn he sees Tin with his ex my goddd give Tol a break, he decided to not be an asshole to Warit + is having nightmares about his past deaths and the feeling that he's gone through everything already. pls

I know that before in the original loop(s), Tol knew about Mai and some guy but thought it wasn't her cheating but that he came to bother her or something? And this is different than that case right? Cuz in previous scenario he found out some other way, not through Pear's photo as revenge?

Tol waits mournfully in that clock tower while Tin's battling possibly Rit's uncle (Sak stole his nephew's kidney) who is wielding a knife at the hospital and then gets stabbed omg

I saw in a gif when looking for ep 8 gifs... are they kissing next ep? Also saw a post that started with "This better be the last loop" so I'm guessing Tol dying again rip

Ep 9 (May 3)

I... have so many things to do that I should be doing instead of watching the next episode. man...

"I wonder if Tol can hear me in every loop" that's wild

Is Tol upset that he didn't get any calls from Tin?

Dr. Fang, you're everything

damn, the knife uncle killed himself (or was killed more likely) in prison

Don't you worry that Sak's gonna off Warit too?

I get Sing wants to get to the bottom of this but girl, how would you ensure Warit's unharmed? Fang died in a previous loop, man

I like Sing/Gap but not during serious moments

dang just straight up going for Sak's computer

A full day has already passed? 17th already

They don't translate what Win wrote on his post

Jinta such a shipper like "oh you're here? Tin can't use his hands but has to eat" *wink* and Tol does indeed feed Tin

oh, we're going straight into "yeah you die in every loop and i tried to find the cause"

Less dramatic leadup and explanation and disbelief than I expected

damn, pinky promise, well Tol better not die tomorrow/18th

nawt fuckass Pear and Win aughhhh let's kill them

ahh Rit pls don't go against Tol right now cuz that's just another hurdle in the loop T.T esp don't team up with the hellish pair to do it

omg why Heart become scary and throwing things D:

Tol eager to have Tin in his house again lol Toi enjoying overhearing

Ow man Tol... being nice to Mai is fine but don't start it up with her again please

okayy Tol not getting back together with her

aw breakups suck even though neither of them even romantically like the other

damn, they're sleeping in different bed/couch now and then having a discussion before sharing the bed, where was this last ep lol

damn, talking about past loops and deaths in bed

"We both will have a bright future together"

heart beating so fast Tol wonders if he'll have a heart attack but he might just be playing it up as a little hint/tease lol

kiss yay !

Tol's probably gonna die next ep and it'll devastate me fr because they're like... in love now.

Wait... I'm going through this ep's gifs and maybe?? next ep is the one where Tol wakes up in a loop? omg... I thought it'd be like the last ep or 2

Ep 10 (May 3)

The fourth episode of the day oof

hmmm Tol reading Tin's diary... he wouldn't be mad about seeing becoming Tol's boyfriend on the to-do list right? I feel like he should see and be preoccupied with the organ trafficking

omg?? okay, in the ep 9 (I think) reddit on-air, somebody was like this scratches the itch if you wanted more Fourth/Beam in 2moons and I didn't understand what they meant because I didn't think Fiat, Tonnam, gap's actor were in 2moons. but turns out it referred to TaeTee omg? I didn't know they were in 2moons as a tertiary couple lol idk why it just blew my mind, so they're literally a side couple getting a main show, that's crazy idk. I think I especially didn't realize because Tae had Paint With Love with Singto, so I thought Tae/Tee was a new ship after that.

aw going back to sleep beside Tin and cuddling kind of and watching him sleep, so sweet

it's the 18th

Doi got to the flash drive first...

everything is so nerve-wracking like on the one hand Tol's got this party for this project that Rit's gonna be sabotaging with Win and Pear's help and on the other hand, Sing and Doi are onto Sing and Gap, and also now 1) this sus dude entering Tol's party... is he gonna end up doing something to Tin/is gonna try to do something to Tol and Tin will step in like with that uncle when he got stabbed? and 2) this nurse with a syringe? is it for Mai's mother?

okay, I think Art is thankfully gonna be useful and get through to Rit about how two-faced Lukpear and Win are.

back hug

me and Tol both dreading this night

omg Tin pinky promised Tol that nothing bad will happen to him... the chance of Tin dying by stepping in front of Tol gets likelier and likelier

not Mai texting Heart again smh c'mon girl. I believe you'll be fine without a boyfriend

girl, so much shit going down. injection in the mother, Sing and Gap captured, random dude on Tol's tail + Lukepear taking things into her own hand once Rit tries to leave

hope Sing and Gap took the guns at least

wtf is this gun wielding fucker even doing bruh

omg mans shot Tin

that blood splatter across Sing's mask is crazy

losing my fucking mind at Sing still continuing to pump Tin's lung (?) after everybody else has stopped because he refuses to believe it

Sing deranged being like "Tin, you're okay, right? Tell P'Toi you're fine"

bruh i was wondering if time of death would end up being 10:55PM and indeed...

aughhhh everybody mourning

I wonder how Tol's time loop is gonna start because I'm assuming he's been sleeping? ig they haven't started yet to really let the death sink in

Tol randomly calling out for P'Tin omggg

Also, what happened to Mai's mom?

omg it's been weeks after Tin passed

Tol actually does sound like he's lost it, asking around about Jinta who nobody knows and now saying that he knows a way to bring back Tin by getting Jinta to turn back time omg poor baby :'(

omg not security T.T

well at least he's found Jinta

the last third of this ep is devastating fr, makes me wish I hadn't known about Tol getting into the time loop and such so that everything would be more heightened

reading the on-air threads is making me realize... I wonder what time Tol's gonna go back to, would he go way way back before Tin learned about anything? Someone also said ep 4 "ghost" Tol who asked Tin to take care of his heart was actually time loop Tol, which would be a cool hint

Anyway, the show is so good so far, I'm nervous about the fact that I've heard the last few eps get kinda wonky or too messy/fast. I really hope they don't fuck up the ending omg

Ep 11 (May 4)

Final 3 episodes, thinking I'm gonna finish it today, so excited, I'm hoping I love the last bit too

omg? Tin actively learned that class to tutor Tol to get him to not cheat

omg not Tol being the one who initially hurt Mai accidentally with the vase

Jinta is really an angel in this universe ig

ahh the ep 4 dream Tol

July 14

Tol's gotta fix the stuff himself now, starting with not taking credit for Rit's presentation

damn, Tol's giving up his position in the group to Warit, though I just hate Lukepair and Win and don't trust them

Okayyy Tin's coming back but without memories, let's go

Tol wanting to take the deal only if he's the one who ends up dying this final time instead of Tin (though idk if Jinta'll grant him that lol)

now it's Tol's turn to be a random stalker-like dude who knows all about Tin and is very presumptuous and pushy heh

aw, dream Tin giving Tol a notebook of everything that happened in the loops

"We will never be together, right?" TOL DONT SAYYY THAT

lmfaoooo a kiss can remind the other person a bit about past loops, that's hilarious

okay, now Tol's also gotta be involved in the organ trafficking investigation stuff right because that's a very important aspect of these loops

Sing's boyfriend lol that's what that one textpost I kinda saw that mentioned 'they started dating off-screen' was talking about

...Tin's not working for Sak in this loop, is he? IS HE?! D:

or Tin just doesn't care about his job and patients in this loop after his sister's death

okay and Tol got Mai to move her mother too

lol Sing and Gap

pls Tol is actually just a stalker now

I was nervous that Tol was gonna just go and kiss Tin and get punched but then he couldn't even do that because Dear showed up

2 more episodes...

I like this comment talking about how Tin was also callous and careless in the first episode after Tol came in. It's not that Tin being changed and cold now in this timeline is that different than what he was like in the original timeline first few loops. Similarly, this comment about "How do you know if Tin would be the same Tin if he didn't meet you."

Ep 12 (May 4)

damn, Dear and Tin randomly both there at the clock tower, thinking the other called them there? and also they apparently hadn't met in a long time... so not dating, still exes?

ah, Tin's confused about some sort of romantic connection and thought it was Dear that he's missing?

plssss Tin previously asking Fang to help hit on Tol and now Tol doing the same

omg we've moved on from dates to countdowns. 60 hours left, 2.5 days

bro use the fact that you've got some heart condition to at least become Tin's patient, c'mon

pls not Nong Dear being there too and Fang somehow siding with Tol over her

throwback to that dinner with family when Tol was on his own phone the whole time

poor Tol doing the same hopeless shit Tin did in his earlier loops but my guy gets just one chance ahhhh

omg, magic notebook where the writing can be seen by Tol but nobody else

idk if the lesson should be to keep pursuing him lol like obviously Tol will because of reasons but Fang doesn't know that

oh, Mai and Heart are pursuing legal action against Sak?

damn, Sak's gonna try to get somebody else's organs now so that some other fuckers help him get off the hook on his trial

lmfao yep, everybody who's doing a case against you turning up dead wouldn't be suspicious at all

Tol's mother is sooooo pretty

ah, the tutoring session once again, starting with the same shot. though now Tol's scheming to kiss Tin

Tol's attempts are so awkward I'm dying, esp because Tin's awkward attempts or ones that went wrong results in Tol's death soon enough and it's like whelp, doesn't matter cuz Tol doesn't remember but this... it's different. it's going on for days on end and is the finally loop, so Tin will remember

pls not fake drowning, i'm dead wtf Tol, guess he's hoping for a CPR kiss?

"Get up when you want to, then" I'm alskdfj;alskdfj;lkasdf this is so awkward i'm dying

A tiny heart-to-heart sort of

Tol is actually the funniest person, what is this strategic kissing while asleep + pretending to have a nightmare

ah, he managed a kiss + Tin is now slowly remembering things

damn, Tin REALLY doesn't wanna go against Sak

Sing and Gap are cute enough but don't know I want too much of them in the midst of this high-tension stuff

Tin, be fucking serious and do not fall for Sak's tricks

Jinta does hint that maybe the reason Tin's so callous about life in this universe is because Tol doesn't come into his life and the loops don't change him/show him to value life

hmm the notebook is "super cheating if you know how to use it"

naurr fuckass Doi getting to Rit

lol Sing and Gap's storyline where Sing mentions gel/lube. Today Wandee Goodday was released and apparently that also mentioned lube, interesting to have it happen twice in one day for me when that's like rarely ever mentioned in BLs

oh wtf Doi has Rit hostage in Sing's apartment?!

The first half was kinda more comedic and relationship-oriented but I enjoyed the latter half more when things started getting a bit more serious.

I probably get what people mean about the last ep being fast and chaotic, seems like there's so much left for a 48 min ep

Ep 13 (May 4)

Finale, I hope it's intense and coherent and romantic and good

Gap, DO SOMETHING don't just stand there and listen to Sing and Doi showdown through the phone

pls not Tol getting excited af at getting the pulse, he's so... baby

omg i thought he was just gonna hug Tin but he kissed him??? pls

visions when they kissed

Tol's so excited asking Tin to kiss again

Tin remembering more about the loops

I hope Gap's lying about not having told anybody cuz then what was even the point of the phone call

idk what Warit texted Fang but maybe it's about Doi, who knows

who is Chalongchai? Is it the guy who shot Tin in the last loop?

not Tin and Tol getting fucking injected

girl, 5 minutes left ?!?!?!?!?!

Ah, Tin remembers but doesn't realize that there will be no loop

this fucking unhinged Doi is way too much girl gtfo why'd you inject Tin >:(

The piano at like 31:55 reminded me of We Best Love I think? Crazy that I can remember it. though it actually might be from the OST from it that I added to my playlist

damn, Tin in a coma. at least he ain't dead

wait, Tin appears at the clock tower just like that ??

plsss I was like Tin has Got to be kidding, he must remember right? it's too late in the episode, he's just faking Tol out but it went on for so long that I was like ? damn, maybe miss girl really doesn't remember

but indeed he does

aw, it ends just like that :( i wish there was just a bit more. i guess ep 9 was the one that had the most lovey-dovey moments between the two of them

was that after-credit scene a teaser for Euthanasia or whatever? The Maxtul Manner of Death spin-off that is unlikely to come to fruition?

I never commented on it but I guess Tin's wish to save Tol when they were kids really had a part in this loop?

This last ep hmmm it was good but somehow felt messier than the earlier loops, which felt move tightly woven together and better written? Like this is the type of writing that put me off of Manner of Death where things didn't feel quite rational, like the Sing and Gap and Doi stuff, or Doi in general going off the rails, or the random kidnapping in the hospital, and then Tin being in a coma for months and months until meeting in the clock tower on a random day. They wanted the last ep to be fast-paced and intense and that's fine but it wasn't as coherent as some of the earlier episodes.

Overall:

Great concept, mostly great execution (especially the first 3/4 like until ep 9 or 10), strong character building. Enjoyed unveiling more and more through each loop and seeing how situations and people changed through them.

Very commendable that despite it literally being time loops, the show didn't feel repetitive, they timed things well. I could've done with a little more romance but what little there was of them actually being together in like eps 9 - 10 were very cute.

I'd thought that they were the same age or similar ages for some reason but Tol is at least a few years younger than Tin and I liked that. Also omg in the last loop last few eps, I was thinking that wide-eyed, bumbling, eager, kind of naive Tol reminded me of Yeowoon from Love for Love's Sake after he softens up and turns out there's even an edit for it on tiktok lol so I'm correct.

This also makes me more excited for 4 Minutes and Spare Me Your Mercy, also Sammon novels because I found Manner of Death to be underwhelming and frustrating with how... stupid everybody was. This had more intelligent characters and I liked the plot better since it didn't fall into the "somehow a show about abuse women face but we only focus on male characters"

Rating: 7/10 [May 12, 2024 Update: Decreased by 0.5 stars when rerating shows I've watched in 2024: 7 -> 6.5]

What do the billionaires and experts forecast for Bitcoin price in 2024 and beyond? Dive into the predictions that might shape the crypto space in the coming years. As we approach the much-anticipated Bitcoin (BTC) halving next year, a time when the crypto market tends to make its best impression of a roller coaster, some well-known figures are offering their insights on where the Bitcoin price may be headed in the coming years. These forecasts originate from individuals who appear confident in their ability to predict financial trends. Figures such as Cathie Wood, Robert Kiyosaki, and other experienced cryptocurrency experts openly express their often unconventional visions for the future of digital currencies. So, let’s unwind the most bizarre Bitcoin forecasts for 2024 and beyond. Cathie Wood: $1 million by 2030 Cathie Wood and her team at ARK Invest are making waves with some eye-catching forecasts. According to Cathie, Bitcoin might be gearing up for a significant leap, possibly reaching a staggering $1 million by 2030. [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kQLpTO2vKE[/embed] This isn’t a number picked from thin air. Despite a rollercoaster of a year in 2022, ARK’s recent “Big Ideas” report maintains that Bitcoin is still a sturdy player in the game. To support these bold claims, ARK highlights Bitcoin’s robust network fundamentals and the growing number of long-term holders. It’s worth noting that Cathie has been making price predictions for some time now. In 2021, she anticipated Bitcoin hitting $500,000 by 2026. As we approach 2024, many are eagerly awaiting to see how her ambitious forecast unfolds. Mike Novogratz: no longer $500,000 Meanwhile, Mike Novogratz, the CEO of Galaxy Digital, has had a change of perspective. Initially, Novogratz was quite optimistic, picturing Bitcoin skyrocketing to a whopping $500,000 by 2027. However, it seems the shifting sands of the crypto market and an assertive stance from the Federal Reserve (FR) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have made him revisit his stance. [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mw00fyl15I[/embed] The enthusiastic $500,000 forecast has been toned down somewhat, with Novogratz acknowledging the significant hurdles Bitcoin faces in reaching that golden mark within his initial time frame. He highlighted the Federal Reserve’s aggressive measures to combat inflation as a major factor in the recent decline in Bitcoin’s value. The cryptocurrency went from reaching a high of $69,000 in November 2021 to below $16,000 in November 2022, partly due to FTX’s issues. Despite the “crypto winter”, Novogratz maintains a resilient spirit, hinting at brighter days ahead. He believes the industry will learn from its current tribulations, brushing off the setbacks and ultimately soaring to new heights. Tim Draper: $250,000 in April 2024 Venture capitalist Tim Draper, a seasoned figure in the crypto space, remains optimistic about Bitcoin’s future. In a recent On The Ledger podcast chat, he reiterated his bold stance that Bitcoin would touch the $250,000 mark. [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6i_nwxbDkL8[/embed] Draper hoped to see this milestone by June of 2023, but he concedes that this timeline might stretch further. Yet, with an enthusiastic tone, he hinted that this pivotal moment might coincide with the approaching “halvening” event in April 2024. While he does entertain the notion of potential hurdles, Draper doesn’t envision a future where Bitcoin is nudged completely off the stage. Rather, he envisages a resilient trajectory for cryptocurrencies, seemingly unthreatened by the conventional financial institutions and fiat currencies, which he predicts are unlikely to dampen the crypto momentum. Tom Lee: up to $180,000 in 2024 In August 2023, Fundstrat’s Tom Lee showcased an optimistic outlook for Bitcoin in 2024, particularly keeping an eye on the potential approval of the first-ever US spot Bitcoin ETF. This move, Lee predicts, could

catapult Bitcoin to unprecedented heights, possibly scaling beyond the previous peak of $69,000 to even hover around the substantial marks of $150,000 to $180,000. [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ir8jYyrBY5s[/embed] He explained that this bullish projection is primarily based on the anticipated surge in demand surpassing the daily Bitcoin supply once the spot Bitcoin gets a green light. This event might significantly influence the “clearing price”, according to Lee. Moreover, Lee foresees bright prospects for the cryptocurrency, even without the ETF approval, attributing positivity to the impending Bitcoin halving event slated for next year. Lee emphasized that this halving event alone could elevate Bitcoin’s value considerably, although a six-figure leap seems more plausible with the regulatory nod for the US spot ETF. Pantera Capital: $148,000 after halving Pantera Capital, a leading crypto asset management firm, anticipates a considerable surge in Bitcoin’s value, nearing a staggering $148,000 in its forthcoming four-year halving cycle, a sentiment echoed in their recent “Blockchain Letter“. The firm’s analysis highlights Bitcoin’s historical trends of experiencing cycle bottoms and peaks in roughly equal intervals surrounding each halving event. It illustrates a pattern where Bitcoin generally bottoms out 477 days before the halving, escalating steadily into it and then reaching new heights afterward, with an average span of 480 days from the halving to the peak of the next bullish cycle. In light of this pattern, Pantera Capital posits that the 2022 bear market possibly delineated the bottom of the current Bitcoin price cycle. Looking forward, they project that by the next halving in April 2024, Bitcoin could command a value of around $35,000. Furthermore, the ensuing 480 days post-halving could propel Bitcoin not just to a new pinnacle but potentially to a towering value of around $148,000 by July 2025. This projection is grounded on the anticipated reduction in new Bitcoin supply, expected to halve, potentially fueling a significant price upswing in line with historical patterns. Robert Kiyosaki: $100,000 Author and entrepreneur Robert Kiyosaki, famed for his book “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” continues to staunchly advocate for the inclusion of precious metals and Bitcoin in investment portfolios as a hedge against the potential economic instability instigated by governmental maneuvers. Kiyosaki’s enthusiasm extends fervently to gold and Bitcoin, as he considers them robust options to steer through turbulent economic phases. He anticipates a sharp surge in the prices of gold and silver in the event of a crash in the stock and bond markets. Simultaneously, amid escalating global economic tensions, Kiyosaki foresees Bitcoin touching the landmark value of $100,000. BITCOIN to $100k. Saying for years gold&silver GOD’S money. BITCOIN peoples $. Bad news IF stock & bond market crash gold&silver skyrocket. WORSE NEWS IF world economy crashes BC $1 million Gold $ 75K silver to $60k. SAVERS of FAKE US $ F’d. DEBT too high. Mom, Pop & kids in…— Robert Kiyosaki (@theRealKiyosaki) August 14, 2023 During his conversation with Daniela Cambone, Kiyosaki didn’t hold back on voicing his skepticism towards the federal government, the Treasury, the Fed, and Wall Street, candidly acknowledging his lack of trust in these entities. He advises like-minded individuals to exercise caution, recommending a shift away from saving in dollars and evading bonds as part of a prudent financial strategy. Navigating crypto price predictions As we steer through the stormy seas of cryptocurrency predictions, let’s not forget that our fortune tellers have a hefty stake in the game. A blooming Bitcoin garden would mean a golden harvest season for them. So, while their forecasts might tickle your investment bones, do wear your skeptical glasses and sprinkle a generous dose of salt over those predictions. After all, taking small, measured steps is always safer than sprinting blindly in a race filled with unexpected twists and turns.

As you navigate this exciting yet unpredictable market, let common sense and caution be your guiding stars, and never invest more than you can afford to lose. Source

As of August 2019, Goodfood had 200,000 subscribers, accounting for 40% to 45% of a meal delivery market. The company's official website is located at www.makegoodfood.ca. The company's telephone number is 1(855) 515-5191. The ticker for it is Goodfood stock just on Toronto Stock Exchange. As a firm with a concentration on meal kits, Goodfood has developed into an online supermarket and provider of home meals. The business sells ready-to-eat foods, grocery goods, breakfast meals, snack foods, and meal kits. 95% of Canadians are reached by Goodfood's deliveries, which cover the majority of the country. The business changed its name to Goodfood in 2016. Goodfood started trading publicly here on Toronto Stock Exchange in June 2017. $21 million in capital was raised by the deal, which was carried out through a reverse takeover strategy. Becoming Public The money received was set aside for expansion, primarily to increase the number of subscribers and the size of the facility at Goodfood. Following the transaction's completion, Goodfood started trading just on TSX under the symbol FOOD. In order to grow to Calgary, a secondary facility in Montreal, and a new site in Vancouver, the company later secured further equity. After becoming public, Goodfood saw considerable growth: its subscriber base rose by 35% to 31,000 in the latest quarter on August 31, 2017, and by another 45% to 45,000 in the period ended on November 30, 2017.

Goodfood Business Its primary line of business was the preparation and delivery of meal kits to subscribers. Its product line has been expanded to include prepared dinners, grocery items like olive oil, peanut butter, and tea leaves, as well as breakfast items like smoothies and omelettes. Goodfood introduced Yumm, a less expensive meal kit service with recipes that use fewer ingredients and are easier, as part of its meal kit business. The three main competitors are Cook it, MissFresh, and HelloFresh (headquartered in Germany and including subsidiary Chef's Plate). Located in Quebec, this grocery behemoth is a division of Metro Inc.

Goodfood Comparing You must sign up for Goodfood services in order to use them. Then, each week, you can choose 2 to 4 foods from the seven that Goodfood has to offer. Then a box containing each of the required items and thorough recipe cards will be sent to you. Your ingredients are supplied in a package with ice packs and thermal protection to keep the food cold while being transported. If no one is home, the delivery person is instructed to leave the box at your doorstep. After the package is delivered, the majority of the ingredients last for one week. There are numerous businesses in Canada that provide comparable services to Goodfood. Getting a box filled with fresh supplies and recipe cards sent to your door is still the basic premise. Some stand out when choosing your weekly menu since they offer a few additional possibilities. Take For instance, Cook It provides ready-to-eat meals in the weekly order (which only need to be heated), whilst MissFresh provides a variety of tea or coffee.

Through an online brokerage account, one can purchase shares of the Canadian company Goodfood stock as well as other stocks. BMO InvestorLine, CIBC Investor's Edge, Desjardins Online Brokerage, HSBC InvestDirect, Laurentian Bank Discount Brokerage, National Bank Direct Brokerage, Qtrade Investor, Questrade, RBC Direct Investing, Scotia iTrade, TD Direct Investing, and Virtual Brokers are a few well-known online brokerages with access to the Canadian stock market. Right Now, Should I Buy Or Sell Goodfood Market Stock? 6 In the past year, Goodfood Market has received "buy," "hold," and "sell" evaluations from Wall Street analysts. Currently, the stock has 2 buy ratings, 3 hold ratings, and 1 sell rating. Wall Street experts generally agree that buyers must "hold" Goodfood stock. A hold rating means that experts do not recommend adding to existing positions in FOOD by purchasing new shares or selling existing ones. Profit Less Goodfood Market Shareholders of Goodfood Market Corp. (TSE:FOOD) should be pleased with the 15% increase in Goodfood stock price during the past week. However, that scarcely makes up for the startling decline during the previous 12 months. For example, over the past year, the Goodfood stock has decreased by 89%. So the increase might not be all that comforting. The fundamental concern is whether the business can change its course.

Even while a decrease like that is unquestionably a blow to the body, happiness and health are more essential than money. Since Goodfood Market did not turn a profit in the previous year, it is doubtful that there would be a substantial link between the price of its shares and its per-share earnings (EPS). Revenue is possibly our second best choice. The annual revenue growth for Goodfood Market was zero. Actually, it dropped 22%. Investors generally don't want to see it. The 89% decline in the Goodfood stock price over a year reveals the story. That serves as a stark reminder that, at the very least, profitless enterprises need to increase their top line. Markets do, however, occasionally overreact, which presents an opportunity for buyers who are prepared to put in the time to learn more about the company. A Different Viewpoint Shareholders in Goodfood Market suffered an 89% loss throughout the past year, while the market as a whole gained only 0.9%. But bear in mind that occasionally, even the strongest equities will perform worse than the market more than a full year. Unfortunately, last year's performance marked the end of a rough patch for the stockholders, who faced a five-year loss of 8% annually. Long-term Goodfood stock price declines are typically a poor indicator, yet contrarian investors might wish to investigate the Goodfood stock in anticipation of a recovery. Although it is necessary to take into account the various effects that market conditions may have on the Goodfood stock price, there are other aspects that are even more crucial. Food Revenue Prediction Estimated Goodfood profits for the upcoming quarter are between and, with a range of. The EPS for the preceding quarter was C$0.78. In the previous 12 months, Goodfood Goodfood stock forecast its EPS forecast 0.00% of the time, while its industry as a whole topped the EPS forecast 49.23% of the time.
