I just finished Renegade Nell and

- Poynton is a Faustian nightmare, and Adrian Lister did an absolutely fantastic job. It felt like he was channelling Othello in his magic scene. He's an excellent villain

- Rassalas/Amadin and Roxy are really cute

- I didn't realise, but the actor who plays Charles is Frank Dillane. He played young Voldy in Harry Potter 6, and his father is Stephen Dillane, who played Stannis Baratheon in GOT

- Polly Honeycombe is perfectly named

- Sofia is a Goth Queen

- Louisa Harland had fantastic chemistry with everyone and was just generally a badass

- I don't usually care about fight scenes (Princess Bride aside), but the choreography looks good to me

- tonally, the show is pretty inconsistent, but it kinda works? I appreciate things which can be serious and can be funny, can be dramatic and have honest, human moments

- v strange to think that Tottenham was ever, well, sort of a village. If you've not been there, it's now an especially rough part of London with a rather nasty MP (super antisemetic, still received like 70% of the vote in 2019, if memory serves)

- Joely Richardson looks like she's having a blast every time she's on screen. Good for her

Finally:

- I adore Nick Mohammed when he's on Taskmaster, and he's delightful in this, too. I certainly wouldn't mind having him as my guardian angel fairy imp thingy

Okay, Tumblr.

In the light of the recent Percy Jackson show (and ignoring the fact that I have to read Goethe's Faust for school), I am challenging you all and especially you reading this.

14k notes by the 1st of April and I will read all of the Percy Jackson series' books that my sibling owns.

I think they go up to the Apollo series? So, like. ~20 books.

edit:

1. Sadly, my sibling doesn't have all of the books. They have pjo, hoo and toa. Having counted them, I will admit that there are only 15 books. Sorry for the confusion, guys, my bad. But if they are as good as everyone is telling me, I might order the rest anyways.

2. I'll extend the deadline to May 25th because I have exams and school is seriously kicking my ass. Either way, I would probably start reading around then anyways.

3. The original post said 14k notes. There was an update post, which said 20k and I'll live blog me reading it as well. Twas' me, being stupid. Or sleep deprived. Probably both. Y'all get to 10k and I'll live blog it during summer.

The Riordanverse (?) (is that what you call yourselves?) sounds like a lot of fun :D thank you for actually reading this and introducing me to a new world to explore. Drink some water, get a snack, and good scrolling to the further lands of Tumblr!

CYPRESS, CA — Members of a local gym were shocked and distracted today after a woman — who was clearly new and not familiar with the expected attire of exercising females — spent her entire workout actually wearing clothing.

"She obviously has no idea what she's doing," said gym member Cody Faust. "As you can see from looking at all of the other ladies here, she's dressed far too modestly. It's such an unusual sight that it's honestly really distracting."

Other women working out were not pleased with the fully clothed woman taking attention away from them. "Who does this girl think she is?!" asked Brittni Jackson, whose gym attire would have to be pixelated if this story were being reported on television to meet common standards of decency. "When you're a woman coming to the gym, the first rule is to expose your body so you can get men to look at you and then become offended and angry that men are looking at you. Everyone knows this!"

Despite the commotion going on around her, the modestly dressed woman seemed unconcerned. "I'm here to exercise and maintain a healthy lifestyle," said the woman, Susan Warren. "What am I supposed to be wearing? Almost nothing? That sounds dumb. Sorry, I'm new at this."

At publishing time, Susan had further shocked gymgoers by finishing her workout and leaving the gym without even taking a selfie or posting an Instagram story to show she had been at the gym.

Mooneyham, Ferguson, Jackson and Faust

[arcanemoody]

Listening to two season 5 era Nygmobblepot playlists I put together that, while very catchy and grounded in a love story I hold dear, are far from joyful. Particularly Ed's which is post-5x11, where he knows he has BIG feelings, but feels clotheslined by his actions in season 3. "That" is not something he can ask for from Oswald, so he's settling for staying in his orbit and keeping the knives out of his back.

i'm getting sentimental over you (tommy dorsey and his orchestra)

you don't know what love is (chet baker)

rehab (amy winehouse)

april fools (rufus wainwright)

don't say nothing bad about my baby (the cookies)

(what can i say) after i say i'm sorry (dinah shore)

telephone (electric light orchestra)

to love somebody (janis joplin)

am i blue (billie holiday)

last dance (donna summer)

they didn't believe me (dinah shore)

i'll call you mine (the zombies)

everything happens to me (chet baker)

i'm not okay (i promise) (robyn adele anderson)

just a gigolo (louis prima)

show me the way to go home (irving king) 

keep yourself alive (queen)

the way you say goodnight (magnetic fields)

[x]

And Oswald’s bridges the end of season 4, when he finds Ed’s dead body and goes through the standard Penguin ‘stages of grief’ in early season 5: try to stop feeling and make the world eat shit. All of which lands him squarely in the middle of the Haven crisis and, shortly after, Pena Dura: staggered by senseless death and how much Ed still doesn’t understand. 

suffragette city (david bowie)

gatsu (guts' theme) (scooby)

glory and gore (lorde)

last nite (the strokes)

new town (the vitamins)

habanera from carmen (georges bizet)

have mercy on the criminal (elton john)

the way i do (bishop briggs)

stop the world and let me off (patsy cline)

don't look back in anger (scott bradlee's postmodern jukebox feat. maiya sykes)

sally go round the roses (the jaynettes)

i would die 4 u (prince)

prince charming (adam ant)

Because. As much as I love a renewed accord awakening new passion... I need them both to do a melancholy conga line of raw suffering until someone forces them to talk it out at knifepoint.

[amethystina]

I was tagged by @a-very-fond-farewell! Thank you so much darling 💜

1. Last song: Shishen Take On the Challenge from The Yin-Yang Master: Dream of Eternity soundtrack (which I paid a small fortune to get my hands on so you bet I've been listening to it almost non-stop ever since. The music is SO FUCKING GOOD OKAY)

2. Favorite color: Purple — which I feel should come as a surprise to no one xD

3. Currently watching: The Killing Vote, because I apparently need more dramas where the Korean public is allowed to vote on whether or not to execute people. Quite enjoying it so far! The characters are a hoot xD And I'm curious to see what they do with the Kwon Seok Joo dude.

I also just started The Guest because I want to watch it before they remove it from Netflix but BOI. That's not one I'll be able to binge, that's for sure. Horror is great but also, well, terrifying x'D

Though, I must say, I might have to take a detour and rewatch the Along With the Gods movies. I've been meaning to do so for ages and seeing Kim Dong Wook in The Guest makes the urge even stronger. Because, let me tell you, I'm SO EAGER to rewatch the movies and observe the characters now that I've seen the twist at the end of the second movie. A twist I figured out before I actually reached the reveal, sure, but I don't think that's a bad thing? Like, for real, guys. The AUDIBLE GASP I let out when I realised what the twist was going to be and then got to sit there and see it slowly dawn on the other characters? BEAUTIFUL. And it CHANGES SO MUCH. Like, I need to rewatch them because so much of what I thought I knew is now a lie! Circumstances have changed! My initial analysis might be wrong! Characters I thought I knew are now completely different! I need to do more research! I NEED TO KNOW.

(This is what happens when your brain works like mine. And one day I might tell you all about why Kang Yo Han is such a fascinating character to me, because, let me tell you, I've rarely seen a character remain so solid in his characterisation even through the kind of reveals we're given in the drama. It's fucking SPECTACULAR)

4. Currently reading: Faust by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (I do it in bursts because it's not the kind of book I can just binge, okay? x'D), We Have Always Lived In the Castle by Shirley Jackson (I would have finished this LONG ago if it didn't give me so much anxiety (but in a good way?)) and Eld by Mats Strandberg and Sara Bergman Elfgren (though I should probably start over on this one since I was very distracted when I read the first chapter)

5. Last movie: No Regret, because why not dabble in older Korean LGBTQ+ content? It was a ride, that's for sure xD And the next movie will be The World to Come (also one I want to watch before it's removed from Netflix)

6. Sweet/spicy/savory: Either sweet or savoury — it depends on my mood, really.

7. Relationship status: Married! :D

8. Current obsession: I'm not sure if I have one right now? Though I am hoping to get back on track with that diorama thing soon. I've almost collected all the materials I need! I just need fake foliage (preferably red) and I'm going to try and buy that either tomorrow or on Saturday.

9. Last thing you googled? Why my phone kept taking only green photos. And everyone kept telling me I shouldn't have unlocked the bootloader (which I don't think can be done by accident and I sure as hell haven't done it intentionally) so in the end I just restarted it and now it works just fine xD

10. Selfie: I don't really take selfies but here's a cropped version of a drawing WIP of mine.

If you know, you know ;)

(... LOOK, the suspender-pulling had to happen eventually, okay?)

11. Currently working on: Chapter 5 of A New Dawn (Begins With Us) and, after that, it'll be either chapter 37 of Who Holds the Devil or maybe the sequel to Gravitational Pull which I'm STILL struggling to find the time to work on. I'm also working on, like, six different drawings simultaneously. Because why make things easy for myself?

Tagging: Whoever wants to do it! Tell me about yourself! :D

[cedarxwing]

Tagged by @valentinsylve. Thank you!! :3 <3 A Canticle for Liebowitz is one of my partner's fav books so I've been enjoying your quotes on my dash.

Rules: answer + tag 9 people you want to get to know better and/or catch up with!

Favorite Color: Green! Either moss green or the color of sunlight shining through leaves (Komorebi)

Last Song: I'll Be There by The Jackson 5 has been stuck in my head for days. Someone help me.

Last Movie: Asteroid City (the new Wes Anderson, with gay rep!!)

Currently reading: Jumping between a few. Proust's Swann's Way, Faust, and some William S Burroughs.

Currently watching: I saw Hugh's Roar episode the other day, so now I understand the Bobby Bronson lore.

Currently Craving: My housemate put these weird Oreos with pop rocks inside them in the communal area. Thinking about those...

Coffee or Tea: Tea! I used to LOVE coffee until my anxiety said no and I had to quit. :( Obsessed with tea, though. I have one orange pekoe and two mint a day.

tagging (but no pressure!!) @t3acupz, @pragnificent, @the-other-will-graham, @ilovewrighting, @mitzvahmelting, @artemiskinnie, @florihist, @iwanttobehappytoo, @aomiinwonderland, @menciemeer, @zipegs

ask game: 12, 18, 47, 55

Thanks for asking! Asks are from here, for reference

12. name of your favorite playlist?

Of my non-automated playlists, I have hfksks, Thoughts, mob, and link click. Of those, the last two are only there so I could sort out series-specific songs/soundtracks into one place. So it'd be one of the first two. hfksks has loads of songs (46) and is just for putting on during a long journey or something. Thoughts is much more curated so only 13 songs in it and is just for when I'm in a sort of melancholy mood, I suppose

18. ideal weather?

I think low to mid-twenties (celsius) with a light breeze? Don't super mind if it's overcast or sunny in this case. Both have their pluses (aka, overcast may be more pleasant than glaring sun but it also means it's about to start hammering it down, so.) I do appreciate the aesthetics of other types of weather more, but in terms of weather I'd actually like to be *outside* in, I think I like this best.

47. favorite type of cheese?

I'm going to be so boring and/or stereotypical here, apologies. Not a huge strong cheese fan so it's just mild/medium all the way down. For standard sandwiches, I tend to be pretty boring and go for plain mild cheddar. If it's with soup then wensleydale or another crumbly cheese like red leicester. If it's just like... cheese and crackers, then all of the above but toss in some variants with chilli or garlic or cranberries embedded within. I guess edam or maybe brie too?

55. favorite fairy tale?

I don't think I actually have one. There are a few I associate with shows or books I enjoy though. Madoka has the Little Mermaid for Sayaka along with all the Faust stuff. Princess Tutu has variations of lots of popular western European fairy tales too. Won't lie, I did also read a lot of the Percy Jackson books growing up and even though I fell off them after the first series that also introduced me to plenty of Greek myths. Similar to the Wyrd Museum series with Norse mythology (the idea of the Norns/Fates still sticks with me). I'd like one day to get more into British/Celtic folklore but at present my knowledge feels way too superficial so I only know broad concepts like selkies/brownies/changelings and if you ask me something like Arthurian legends I wouldn't have a clue. On the non-European side, there's stuff like Princess Kaguya, Tanabata/Qixi, Meng Po... let's also chuck in Styx-adjacent stuff whilst we're at it because you find similar concepts across different cultures. Yeah, I can't decide >_<

also my url here is a reference to norse mythology

* Jason Leeds’ first name comes from Jason Voorhees, for no other reason than to make a corny joke about it.

* Nick Scratch, Sebastian Darke’s devil son, gets his name from two of Satan’s monikers: Old Nick and Mr. Scratch.

* Hansel Armstrong gets his name from the story of Hansel and Gretel, something that is commented on in-universe as he went through a similar experience as a child.

* Sebastian Darke’s merfolk daughter Charybdis gets her name from the whirlpool-creating monster of Greek myth, fitting for the queen of the Mediterranean and doubly so since she loves to create whirlpools herself.

Literature

* The hunter organization the Silverwings gets their name from the bat-themed novel Silverwing.

* Humbert Archambault gets his first name from Humbert Humbert of Lolita, though rather than being a pedophile he is only a horribly unpleasant person.

* Mina Lovett gets her name from Mina Harker from Dracula; by a stroke of luck, “Wilhelmina” is also a name attributed to Mrs. Lovett.

* Arya Mournblade, the main character of an in-universe film franchise, gets her name from Arya Stark of A Song of Ice and Fire fame.

* Rose Milliner gets her name from the psychic vampire Rose the Hat from Doctor Sleep.

* The surname of the Cullens family is inspired by the family of the same name from Twilight.

* Sebastian Darke’s djinn daughter Shahrazad is named after the narrator of the Arabian Nights tales.

* Very weird case with Amalric Dracula; while initially he was meant to be a public domain crossover character, he changed so much and is so radically different (he’s a good guy, he’s not white, etc) that he’s really only getting the name from the famous vampire.

Music

* Sebastian Darke’s first name comes from the band Sin With Sebastian.

* Marianna Cross is named after the Ghost song “Mary on a Cross.”

* “Little Sunshine,” Darke’s pet name for Goldie Dawn, comes from the Ghost song “Call Me Little Sunshine.”

* Roxanne Sumner and all of her alters are references to Police:

* The name Roxanne comes from the song of the same name.
