OH ARTHUR BENNETT.. such a gorgeous and intriguing character. terribly burdened by a GRUESOME set of crimes, his light suffocated by a HEAVY century of GUILT. so tragic, so dark and broody, and yet PAINFULLY awkward in any social setting ever

Does anyone else get the feeling that at their core, all of mxtx's works are about cycles of abuses.

[cowardstiel]

i think it should be mandatory that everyone watch The Social Dilemma at least once every six months

i just remembered the way ellie and dina talk about bill in tlou2 and now i’m even more endlessly thankful for the way the show changed bill’s story.

I love that steve is in dbd because I do not have to give a shit about stranger things itself to get new material of him. I can just explore what his adventures in the entity's realm might be.

not Midnight Mass Erin and Riley talking about their different visions of death and the afterlife, seemingly not realizing that they were using very different words to describe exactly the same thing, and making me openly cry at my desk while doing so

YOUR WRITING IS SO PRETTY I COULD EAT IT. YOU CHARACTERIZE THE CHARACTERS SO WELL TOO!!!

thank you so much!! ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ happy you think my writing is very pretty!! and also makes me happy you think my characterization was correct.

when writing for characters always take a bit of extra time to ensure they sound good? thinking about having an actual conversation with them for a minute and what they’d do! ♧ personally a big fan of viginettes since that reveals a lot of a character more than mainstory.

Σ('◉⌓◉’) mini (huge) rant within the tags of the way of my process to understand a character!!

yeah,   yeah,   eli and demetri are cute,   but miguel and eli?   they own my heart now and forever.   out of all the bonds that eli could ever have and i want to see more on screen,   in order it goes:   eli/miguel,   eli/sam,   eli/robby,   and eli/tory.   i said what i said.

Viable Ships in Dick Francis’s Proof, based on my ~70% complete rereading:

TONY X GERARD MCGREGOR

high-class private detective

instantly obsessed with Tony

hunts him down to offer him a consultant job even though Tony doesn’t think he’s good and special enough because he knows Tony is good and special enough and so so great at knowing about wines and remembering things and deductive reasoning, the best of anyone

gets shot trying to save him from burglars but doesn’t even mind

the Only One who is sympathetic in Exactly The Right Way to unlock Tony’s tragic Dead Wife backstory

they love eating Chinese food together and admiring each other’s skills at detecting

“'Come any time,’ I said. I didn’t mean to sound lonely, but maybe that’s what he heard."

"'I enjoy your company.’ He seemed almost surprised. ‘Do you? Why?’ ‘You don’t expect too much.’ ‘Like what?’ ‘Like… er… Chinese takeaway on your knees.’ It wasn’t what I truly meant, but it would do. He made an untranslatable noise low in his throat, hearing the evasion and not agreeing with it. ‘I expect more than you think. You underestimate yourself.'"

TONY x MRS. ALEXIS

Owns a pub Tony is investigating for wine fraud, but likes him anyway just because

No Truck With Cops, But Especially Not The Stodgy And Puritanical One Tony Is Working With, Compared To How Cool Tony Obviously Is

“Smiles with reckless mischief” before using a shotgun to clear out a fireplace

All of this:

"Her gaze slid past me to rest on Ridger and still without any change of expression she said, ‘Give me a man who’ll swing from a chandelier. Give me a goddamn man.’ Her glance came back to my face, the mockery bold and strong. ‘The world’s a bloody bore.’ Her abundant hair was a dark reddish brown gleaming with good health and hair dye, and her nails were hard and long like talons. A woman of vibrating appetite who reminded me forcibly of all the species where the female crunched her husband for breakfast."

"As the high spot of the morning [being slightly shortchanged by the bartender] didn’t rate much, but one couldn’t expect a Mrs Alexis every day of the week."

"Mrs Alexis stood there, larger than life, bringing out her own sun on a wet afternoon. I shut my mouth slowly, readjusted it to a smile, and said, ‘I was coming to see you again at the first opportunity.’ ‘Were you now?’ she said, mockery in full swing. ‘So this is where our little wine merchant dwells.’ She peered about her good-humouredly, oblivious to the fact that her ‘little’ wine merchant stood a fraction under six feet himself and could at least look her levelly in the eyes. Nearly all men, I guessed, were ‘little’ to her."

"‘No, I bloody well wasn’t,’ she amended explosively. ‘I came here on purpose.’ She lifted her chin almost defiantly. ‘Does that surprise you?’ ‘Yes,’ I said truthfully. ‘I liked the look of you.’ ‘That surprises me too.’"

"She grinned, showing teeth like a shark."

"She eyed me assessingly. ‘You’re young enough to be my bloody son.’ ‘Just about.’"

"Her face lightened back into its accustomed lines. ‘Any time you’re passing, my little wine merchant, call in for dinner.’ She came with me into the storeroom to collect her trophy which she bore easily away under her arm, diving out into the drizzle with the teeth and eyes gleaming."

Not included here: every other mention of her sharp and piercing “hawk’s eyes”

Non-Viable Ships:

TONY X HIS DEAD WIFE

No personality mentioned or implied. Named traits are as follows:

Blonde

Was preferable to being alone

Warm, like all humans

Slept in a bed

Wanted kids

Named Emma

Planned house with Tony specifically for good kid bedrooms

Loved him

Fun to have sex with, though not in any specific or distinctive way, except that she was hotter before she got pregnant

Liked a candid photo from their wedding

Died tragically from wanting kids too much

Where’s the hawk-like eyes? Where’s the deep understanding of his emotional needs? Where is even one goddamned independent hobby or personal quality not present in literally any generically pleasant Wife Character? Absolutely not a viable ship, presumably ‘dies offscreen’ as a device by an unreliable narrator to conceal that she never even existed in the first place, since she alone of all characters ever mentioned in this book has no distinguishing qualities whatsoever

me, knowing that carol has short hair again sometime in season 11 and learning that she cut it in the first place because she felt unsafe: oh no what angst is going to occur that makes her feel like she has to cut it all of again

season 11 episode 24, cutting her hair short in the last fifteen minutes for no reason and without giving an explanation or even addressing it:

me: PLEASE
