#ship: great at crime

[vegaseatsass]

I'm rewatching Manner of Death with my friends who have never seen it in advance of 4 Minutes Friday, and experiencing Inspector M with people who have seen Wandee Goodday and more or less shriek like they're at a Beatles concert every time Great comes onscreen means I'm paying a lot more attention to his character this time around instead of just giggling at his incompetence and gratuitously tight uniform, then redirecting my attention. We all firmly believe he's in love with Doctor Bun but physiologically incapable of not fumbling that bag every chance he gets; I cannot believe M had a chance to court the hot doctor before every other character in the series fell in love with him, and he left Bun alone at a club to go pratfall into his future husband's arms instead of properly wining and dining him himself. Absolutely a metaphor for his police work. For me the absolute funniest thing M did so far was get REALLY insulted and upset when Doctor Bun said cops were wasting taxpayer dollars, like this really genuinely hurt his feelings, and go out of his way to follow ONE SINGLE CLUE (the abortion clinic clue he got from the journalist's laptop which BUN put all the effort and legwork into finding and rightfully steals back later), finally do ONE SINGLE PIECE OF WORK (but also arrest Fan, the town hero, so even his one win comes with innate-to-the-job copfails), and come running back to freely hand Bun police documents and bring him into a police interrogation just so he can be like see? see? I am helpful and good! I am still an eligible bachelor in a uniform three sizes too tight wyd tonight

Like he actually says out loud "Now do you think the police are wasting taxpayer dollars :D?" after he does this. He genuinely wants Doctor Bun's approval so badly despite making choice after choice that confirms every ACAB opinion he has. Lol I don't know if I can get across how funny I am finding it but I do think his writing is pretty great in that he is a COP cop, he obviously really believes in the police as an institution and will always choose them first and obey his commander's commands, but this hot man reading him to filth every time he turns around is still shaking him and making him want himself and the police as an institution to be able to be something they're not. Which is an entertaining position for an incompetent policeman to find himself in. I am enjoying it greatly.

I have, quite literally, had this image sitting in my art program’s drafts for the past two years. I finally sat down and drew it.

Uh oh ! Despite not being a dead body, a certain detective caught the eye of Scotland Yard's coroner... 🫀✨(Late entry for the WLW dgs ship day!)

[ID: Digital illustration of Gina Lestrade and Maria Gorey from the video game Great Ace Attorney Chronicles. A flustered Gina is laid down on an autopsy table, her chin slightly tilted up by a butcher's knife Maria is holding above her. Maria is putting a knee on the autopsy table to lean closer to Gina, her cold assessing look only betrayed by a little blush on her face. End ID]

If you are an "Odysseus deserves to be crying every day in Calypsos island for seven years." fuck you. No he didn't. Yes, Odysseus is a fucked up guy. No he didn't deserve that. Even if he wasn't my babygirl, pet liar, he would not have deserved that. I wouldn't have said that even to Theseus and I hate that bitch so fucking much. No one, no one, deserves to be a victim!

such is the tale of a ✨chronically online hypocrite✨

The Great Gatsby (1974) au where Gatsby doesn't die and instead Nick takes on the no-paying job of trying to get Jay to move on from Daisy.

Bad ending is Gatsby never does & he and the Buchanans become a never-ending shitshow. Good ending is Jay moves on. Super special bonus ending is Jay and Nick fall in love (toxicity optional)

White Collar just hit that perfect spot of almost really good, where they had actors with great chemistry, and a fun set up, but the writers fundamentally misunderstood what's appealing about them, so they just kept fucking it up progressively worse

The polls get instantly more vicious once the fandom makes it about ships (the tags from Brienne stans in the Cersei poll were vile)

oh didnt even check lmfao i think im blocked by most of jc nation on here tho

edit: honestly i get the j/b/c thing is very romance oriented but people really have blindspots about all three of them bc they can never separate that shit from them. I think all three have a lot going on as individuals. this is the reason i often dont really agree with the popular opinions of a lot of the fandom that focuses on these characters. like i care about jaime the most first and foremost and i dont want his endgame to revolve completely around either of them lol. like i dont want jc double death bc i think it doesn’t really work with the text and the foreshadowing atp and it would be very anticlimactic for jaime but same with jb married endgame like id hate that shit too. i also just dislike the general approach to romance where people think it is only rich and well written if it has “married with kids” endgame.

The whole fun thing about the double standards of sexism is how it really pervades fandom and demonizes both male and female characters really fucking efficiently so everyone's fine until they say or do something that makes them "unforgivably bad" to someone, but you look at characters of the opposite gender who do the same exact things with either the same or less reasons and the same person will be totally fine with them, and also insist they're not being sexist.
