#frank and his sisters

[annabethchase06]

The way Percy nervously told Hazel and Frank he's Greek in SoN expecting some sort of tension to arise and Hazel just kisses him on the cheek and he melts has me sobbing.

Bonus points for Frank going, "Do I get a kiss too?"

Season 4 hope/prediction: Deb's show is solid, zero issues, runs flawlessly with great ratings, but her personal life is completely eroding. We start with her discovering Marcus is leaving, and it culminates in DJ going into labor right before a taping. Deb chooses the show. When it's over, and she finally flies to Vegas, it's too late -- Aiden's not letting her in because he loves his wife too much to let DJ get into a shouting match with her mom right after giving birth, and instead takes the brunt of Deb's wrath, with her making excuses and talking about how they used her money for IVF, and anyway, DJ's fine, so who cares if she wasn't there? Kathy's in the room with DJ and the baby (DJ's the closest she has to a daughter, after all) and Deb leaves too furious to think about how badly she's hurt her family.

She heads back to her Vegas mansion -- empty, obviously, Josefina and the dogs would be in LA -- and pops open a bottle of wine. Alone. Completely alone. Can't call Marty, she has no friends, the closest she's got would be Kiki and wouldn't that be embarrassing, calling your poker dealer to talk about your feelings --

and then Ava's there. She got the news about DJ's labor, she got the story from Aiden (who was distraught, by the way, man's too much of a sweetheart for Vance drama), a spare key from Damian (happy to pawn that off on her, though if it isn't returned promptly he's taking legal action) and has arrived just in time to see the Deborah Vance having a breakdown the likes of which no one thought physically possible. Crying gives you wrinkles, you know. But Ava has to be here. She's the physical embodiment of a lesson Deb never truly learned: you don't have to like someone to love them.

In my imaginary fantasy land that I am concocting this would then subsequently lead into them fucking nasty but I understand that this may be a step too far for the surprisingly large number of very normal people who watch this show and would forgive JPL for not taking it that far. However I do believe they should fuck about it and let Ava take the reigns in their relationship while they see how many of Deb's bridges they can un-burn.

going further. franks child self was living in that one room with a strange weirdo boy he dreamed up but never really had. now his inner child isn’t alone anymore. he plays games with his real charlie in their terrible one room apartment. getting weird with it and being okay with being weird no matter what everyone on the outside might think. sharing a bed together to feel the comfort in being close to that

macs child self had charlie the whole time. inseparable. a package deal. the most genuine connection and comfort in both of their neglected tiny lives. not just because they were otherwise alone. decades later theyre not going anywhere. now their inner child rides bikes together they throw rocks at trains together they teach each other about the world just like they needed so desperately in old times

dennis’ child self never had charlie. not until highschool. but that was exactly when he experienced his csa. his inner child found charlie at the exact right moment. caught him when he fell. he got his child self back through charlie just as he lost feeling. and now what do the two of them do together? they go recreate memories and recapture lost youth with a mutual unspoken understanding of why

they all need charlie. relaxing into his genuine youthful energy lets them feel that way again.

His Butler’s Sister (1943)

[seagullcharmer]

frankly, my dear,

[spotforme]

let me share a few ships i think about in the delirious hours of the night

Paranoia and Stabbim (just a skutter acting out orders to kill when it descovers that maybe he's the only one who can get through to the hallucination without making him paranoid, will it reveal it's previous orders and expose it's decietfull job (stabber) and maybe break Paranoia's fragile trust in the process? or do the orders exceed the man (the skutter) and does the ultimate tragic of killing a loved one befall in the hands (claws) of Stabbim when he can't resist orders anymore)

Talkie the Toaster and support force (unrequited love, Talkie ne'er has time to ponder the importance of support force in his life, he knows it excists, but toast will always win out. and support force knows that. it's happy to just hold Talkie up and take any breadcrums it gets as long as it can)

Cat deepthroathing those polymorph eggs (it could've worked out if she hadn't died immediately and he wouldn've killed all her children, but life happens i get it)

the overly polite swordsmen and Rimmer's courage and self confidence (they're making out sloppy style, they spotter eachothers hats and swords from across the room and it has been escalating at an alarming speed)

Sir. Francis Walsingham and the "i am a fish" exam paper (he would gladly be the fish. proxcimity to dear people affecting how one behaves and all that)

Carter Burke and Rimmer (they die a horrible death together, the thought of the other there doesn't comfort them because they know both want to leave the other as a sacrifice and run, so they try to make themselves un-abandonable. doesn't work. they suffer horribly with all hope lost)

The Sister Brothers and the Rimmer Monster (it's lesbian/ gay solidarity as they bitch about the world. my favourite)

What do you think the significance is that Charlie was off at a birthday party for most of Bowling? I wonder if it was another nod to the idea of moving on/growing up that's been so strong this season

The first thing that jumps out to me when they mentions the birthday party is that Uncle Jack's birthday party and the fact that Charlie doesn't even realise he's over 40, so I don't think anyone celebrates Charlie's birthday for a long time. However in this ep it's clear that Charlie loves birthday parties or at least the food and drinks that come with it, even though he doesn't like the idea of being at Jack's birthday party.

I do think with those facts, Charlie missed his own parties. He's having loads of fun in the birthday party seems like what in his eyes the past was or what could have been. Also when he's actually here where we can see, he's still obssessed with the waitress, so it seems that he's still dwelling on the past. However, the part where the waitress easily manipulates him, it could mean sticking to the old way is not going to work out great, but I'm not really sure about it.

Along with the fact that in s15, Charlie gets the closure of meeting his biological father and finds out he could read, and in this season Charlie seems much less delusional compared to himself before and to other people in the gang, I think it's about Charlie reflects and reconciles with his childhood, and it's a continuation from the previous episodes in this season!

Seeing so many sunny posts lately where I’m like hey I touched on that detail in my fic from a few weeks back :D people would actually maybe like these little details :D but then the fic itself has so little engagement so far and I didn’t want to spoil little details in summary, and I’m also absolutely too terrified/mortified to share a link to it, but I’m just like aahh, aaahhh

[badnew2005]

screaming crying each of the gang know and can see through dennis in such specific ways it’s sickening

my coworker is convinced i'm cooler than i am i think bc if i reference something she hasn't heard of she's like "oh i must be too old" and i'm like. no don't worry this is actively niche. i do not expect anyone to have heard of this band / book / thing unless they are also into the exact same stuff as me. it has absolutely nothing to do with your age because most other mid-late 20s people would have had the exact same reaction

she and my boss actually have pretty similar taste in music and i'm just there with my ridiculously eclectic playlists like "youse have probably heard of at least five of these but the rest i can't help you with i'm sorry"

and the thing is that this then loops around to people thinking i'm INTENTIONALLY obscure either bc they think i'm pretentious and trying too hard or because they think i'm Actually Cool. neither of these things is true. what happened is that i met a few random musicians at events / saw them busking / knew a guy who knew a guy in a band, etc, and then from THOSE small local bands i followed a 10-year chain of spotify recommendations (or tuneglue back in the day when spotify didn't recommend stuff as actively so you had to seek it out), and now my playlists are 50%* made up of bands who released one album c. 2012 and never anything else

and because i used to be a musician and was friends with musicians and they were friends with other musicians, i knew a lot of guys who knew a guy, you know? so that gets you into the listening pool of bands who have like 50 listeners and rehearse in their mum's garage and that takes you down even obscurer tracks whether you wanted to or not

(*the other 50% is pretty much just my chemical romance at this point but that's fine. they're my go-to for "oh but you'll have heard of this one")

[uranium]

honestly a lot of the moments from la5 are fading already but theres certain things that i think im going to remember forever :) one of them being my best friend and i half clutching each other half headbanging screaming our lungs out to our lady of sorrows staring at the band a few meters away from us

[rig-a-rendal]

genuinely angry about the sons of david again

[capaldiera]

i had thoughts last week about how like every character except mulcahy has some established past best friends and like one would assume he has had close friends and just doesn't ever talk about it but well i didn't post those thoughts and i don't have them organised now

[neganium]

I don't feel good. I'll be glad when this catsitting bullshit is over.
