TCL 3x12 thoughts

Lol look I got there in the end. I actually wrote this in June but intended to do a read through before posting... then got on a plane and promptly forgot about the entire thing til now haha.

But here it is anyway, a very belated 3x12 recap with a random assortment of my thoughts about the finale.

Ugh poor Thony, seeing a woman in a blonde wig and green shirt playing with Luca and having that split second of thinking it was somehow Nadia, only to instantly know it was impossible. It must have felt like she was being haunted by Nadia’s ghost ugh, and no wonder she immediately goes and downs a huge glass of whiskey

Are we sure Ramona’s been cured of the lead poisoning? Bc her plan to ‘eliminate’ the Feds is ridiculously irrational. Jorge offers her a perfect, clever solution and yet she turns him down because ‘Derek’ wants her to take out the Feds. Who the hell is this guy? Is he the one who suggested she set Jorge up to be her fall guy, or did she come up with that on her own? So much for ‘family’ being everything to her– Jorge was everything to her until he started outgrowing her and defying her, and now she wants to move on to Violeta, to take her and mold her and make her into a copy of herself, and if she has to get Jorge out of the way to make that happen, she will

On one hand, dumping Nadia’s body on Russo’s doorstep is so awful, but on the other, I’m actually kinda glad that Ramona did that? I’m glad she was delivered directly into the hands of someone who would genuinely mourn her loss, who would treat her body with care and respect, rather than her body being just left in the desert to rot. By sending this ‘message’, Ramona ensured that Nadia could be cremated and reunited with Arman, and that means so much to me. (Yes I haveindeed  made myself cry multiple times wondering about what is going to happen to both of their ashes now– I had a fic idea of Thony asking Jorge to take her to Curacao to spread their ashes together on some beautiful beach somewhere, to honour them the way they deserve. Ughh.). 

Also I just realised that as far as the FBI knew, the last Thony saw of Nadia was when she escaped from Jeremy’s lair. They just think that Nadia tried to make a run for it and that Ramona found her, killed her, and dumped her. Even when Thony’s van shows up with the blood in it, they would probably have assumed Ramona had the van stolen and used in the transport of the body to point the finger at Thony. But idk, it seems like Thony tells the Feds the truth of what happened at some point anyway.

Omg Chris banging on the door was so stressful, what if ICE was still there?? Like yes Camila needed treatment for her infection, but not so urgently to risk her (and himself, and all those other people) being deported!! And then him having to fight his way out?? Like damn son you got your protective instincts from your mama. It must have been such a relief to see her in that kitchen– remember he’s only 16! He’s in way over his head, and then his mum appears and protects him like she’s done his whole life. Honestly though MVP of this ep goes to the chef who immediately clocks the situation and tosses the carrots on the floor– what an ally! Love it.

“If you can’t do your job, I’m gonna do it” I really love how Thony talks to Feds haha. Zero respect given, which is exactly as it should be. It must feel familiar for Thony to hear the Feds going after the right-hand man rather than the head of the crime organisation yet again– just like with Hayak and Arman, it was only her stepping in that prevented Arman from bearing the brunt of the FBI while Hayak walked free, and now she’s trying to do the same for Jorge. The conversation between her and Jorge in the warehouse is definitely similar to the one she had with Arman in his office in 1x10 (aka where she was trying to convince a man she cares about to save both himself and her by turning on his boss) though with two major differences: one, Arman already knew about her involvement with the Feds, so rather than feeling betrayed, he felt worried for her; and two, he was already in love with her, so she was more important to him than Hayak. Jorge cares for Thony, but in this moment he’s reeling not only from the news of Nadia’s murder at Ramona’s hands, but also the realisation that someone he trusted and let into his home helped bring the FBI down on him, and now she also drops this bomb that the person he’s closest to in the world intends to betray him and ruin his life? Poor guy is definitely in a much harder situation than Arman ‘Protect Thony At All Costs’ Morales. I love that despite his opposition to Thony’s claims, Jorge still ends up making a plan to keep Violeta safe, because clearly some part of him knows that Thony is telling the truth, that she is genuinely trying to protect him and his family as well as her own. Truly hilarious that he’s like ‘nope no way I’m going to have a meeting with the Fed’ and she’s like ‘yeah you are’ and literally the next scene is him coming to her house to meet with Jeremy haha. Again, definitely very reminiscent of 1x10 when Arman meets with Garrett for her. I could totally understand some viewers being annoyed by the similarities and calling it repetitive writing, but I think it’s actually kind of cool to see her getting caught in the same situations repeatedly, because it really demonstrates the theme of how Thony walks the line between light and dark, good and evil, law and crime… she is the bridge between the two, never quite able to escape one or the other, instead always pulled back in, always balancing it out. But ugh anyway I’m not over when Jeremy asks Jorge “Which side do you want to be on?” and Jorge turns and looks at Thony. Hers. He wants to be on her team– not part of Ramona’s crazy empire, not a FBI rat, but the team of morally grey parents doing whatever it takes to keep their kid safe. Yaaaass.

And then later the similarities to the heist with Arman appear again when we realise Jorge used the FBI to get the fingerprint, allowing him access to what he wanted– just like Arman using the FBI sting to steal Hayak’s money. With Arman, though, she had the trust in him to know that he would protect her no matter what. She can’t trust Jorge like that, not yet… but maybe one day. I appreciate that even after the trauma of what just happened with Ramona being arrested, Jorge goes to Thony and puts an arm around her, the two of them united, each other’s stable ground as their worlds crumble around them. I love that they walk out together, the survivors, and he tells her that not only is she safe from repercussions from the cartel, but that there’s also a place for her within his new empire if she wants it. I love her answer, quoting Arman and how he used his power to protect the ones he loved, whereas Ramona used that power to hurt others… and how she wants to do things her own way. To me, her way is using power to protect those who don’t have the power to protect themselves– her family, yes, but also the vulnerable, the undocumented, the poor and sick and disabled, the people that the system leaves behind or even persecutes. The fact she’s even alive right now is a gift from both Arman and Garrett, and she’s not going to waste it. She’s going to make it count by helping as many as she can, because every life she betters honours those who gave theirs for her. 

Jorge bringing Violeta to Teresa… omg I can’t. First, it shows he really heard and listened to Thony, and that he truly doesn’t trust Ramona to be the one to raise Violeta. But ugh I was so hoping we could see Eduardo meet Violeta… I would have loved seeing him be all sweet with her, then share a wordless nod of understanding with Jorge, like a sign that their family might just begin to heal… but still, I loved that Teresa was immediately ready to go up against Ramona to protect Violeta. She couldn’t prevent her son from being pulled into the world of crime, but maybe she could save Violeta from the same fate, and that makes me wanna cry a bit 

Would using a 16 year old personally connected to Thony’s family to identify criminals really work, in like a legal sense? Also how likely would she, a ‘lowly’ worker, have been to have actually seen the boss guys? Meh idc I’ll roll with it

Thony was so terrified about Ramona finding out about her helping Nadia, so sure she would kill her for it, and yet Ramona’s response is literally like ‘eh couldn’t blame Thony for defying me, she’s not a killer’ lol. And then later at the gala she is pleased with Thony simply for confirming her own suspicions about Jeremy, which they really didn’t need Thony for anyway? They clocked him as a Fed themselves just from the way he was acting lol, but whatevs, it gave Thony an excuse to be there and for us to enjoy that white dress lol

“She’s never going to tell you anything! She’s too smart!/ “Well I got you to tell me you were mixed up with Sin Cara”  Yeah Jeremy, she told you that when she was half in shock after you guys both nearly got violently murdered (during which she literally saved your life btw), and also after like 2 weeks of you manipulating her when she was at her most vulnerable, and grieving the man she loved? Her slipping up once in that high-stress situation is not the same as you smooth-talking Ramona for 5 minutes buddy. Also, fuck you. And lol your attempt really didn’t go the way you hoped, did it? Ran away with your tail between your legs lol. Can’t believe Thony actually goes to the effort of saving your dumbass life, again!! You better pay her back for that one or I swear

“Let’s burn it to the ground” loved the inclusion of this line between Fi and Thony, given the conversation between Jorge and Nadia at the wake of wanting to burn everything down after losing the loves of their lives. Looks like it’s a sentiment that they all share

Ngl I enjoyed Jorge coming up to Thony immediately when she arrived at the gala, not only telling her she ‘cleans up well’ (lol punny) but the little moment of camaraderie they share with an almost-joke about Ramona planning to bury her in the dress– they both know the risk they’re facing but they’re facing it together, and that makes it just a fraction less horrific. I wonder if Ramona questions why Thony and Jorge are sticking together all night? Maybe she just assumes Thony feels safer around him, which I suppose would be true haha

Literally how does Jorge get all the way from the gala to their underground bunker and back in time????? Some TV magic happening there for sure lol

Thony and Ramona’s showdown on the roof is kinda funny… like how did Thony know to go up there? How did she walk around with that gun without being noticed? But no matter. And ugh Thony shaking and crying as she tells Ramona she deserves to die for Nadia and Arman… my creys. Plus it was definitely satisfying to see Ramona realise that Thony and Jorge had allied against her (which was her own fault! If she hadn’t betrayed him, he never would have betrayed her! Consequences, baby!). I do appreciate that Jorge told the FBI exactly where to find her, saving Thony from having to take Ramona out and then potentially go to jail for her murder… though  it would be very cool if in S4 Ramona somehow weasels her way out of prison, and so Thony has no choice to take the matter into her own hands once and for all– for herself, for Nadia, and for Arman. 

Haha awww the family all at home, celebrating, doing karaoke? My heart. “How about a love song for you and Camila, Chris?” lollll Jaz is such a little sister and I love it. JD suggesting Beyonce for him and Luca, Thony and Fi looking relaxed and happy, Chris getting his kiss and Luca accidentally cockblocking…. This family deserves to have some simple happiness after everything they’ve been through! 

“Not this time” oh Thony, you know that escaping ~the life~ is not so easy… like Arman told you a long time ago, once you’re in, you’re in… Looks like Derek will be an issue for both Thony and Jorge to have to contend with next season. Tbh I thought that this final scene could have been shot better though, like instead of Thony’s “Not this time” and then a cut to black, they should have had her say that and then walk away, and the camera pans past the phone (which stops ringing and goes dark) and follows her to the lounge where we see her rejoin the festivities with a grin on her face, choosing joy and light in defiance of the dark that’s trying to pull her back in. But nvm I guess lol, sadly the writers don’t consult me on this stuff so it’ll just have to stay in my head haha

Character Introduction for “The Captain’s Last Stand—a Great Gatsby Story” (extended version)

“The name’s Toby. Toby Scorn. And you are standing on the deck of one of the greatest—if not the best—pirate ships the world has ever seen.”

——————————————————

Name: Tobias “Toby Scorn” Moreland (and also formerly known as: “Curtis Carlyle”/ “The Offshore Pirate”)

Age: 25

Occupation: Quartermaster of the Tuolomee

MBTI: ENTP 7w6

Hobbies: playing violin, discussing philosophy, exploring new places

Dislikes: losing his freedom, Carleton Canby’s name, cowardice

“The Captain’s Last Stand” is my Pirate AU Great Gatsby story that is currently being reworked into novel-length. While Toby is not exactly an OC because he was adapted from the Fitzgerald story “The Offshore Pirate” featuring a character of the same name, I like to think that his backstory and personality will receive a slight reworking and a bit more exploration in this upcoming work of mine.

Apple Friday Night Baseball Schedule On Apple TV+ in 2024

Apple Friday Night Baseball

 Apple and MLB announce August Friday Night  Baseball schedule.

The August game schedule for “Friday Night Baseball,” a weekly doubleheader that airs on Fridays during the 2024 regular season and is accessible to Apple TV+ users, was revealed today by  Apple and Major League  Baseball (MLB). Over 26 weeks, fans in 60 nations and regions can watch two highly anticipated contests without any restrictions on local broadcasts.

Wayne Randazzo, Dontrelle Willis, Heidi Watney, Alex Faust, Ryan Spilborghs, and Tricia Whitaker are outstanding “Friday Night Baseball.” announcers.

Modern cameras are used in every game to deliver realistic live-action images, and spatial audio is enabled for rich 5.1 surround sound.

In order to fully immerse viewers in the action and stadium ambiance, “Friday Night Baseball” employs player and field-level microphones in addition to drone cameras to capture stunning aerial stadium pictures. During “Friday Night Baseball” games, fans in the United States and Canada can choose to listen to the audio of the local radio broadcasts of the home and away clubs.

Fans can follow Major League  Baseball and their preferred MLB teams on Apple Sports to view complete MLB scores and data.  Sports lovers can now get real-time scores, analytics, and more with Apple Sports, a brand-new free app for iPhone.

Additional MLB programming, such as shortened game summaries following each week’s live “Friday Night Baseball” broadcasts, vintage games, highlights and interviews, and more, is available to fans for free via the Apple  TV app.

This season, “Friday Night Baseball”‘s official national home for American business establishments is once again DIRECTV FOR BUSINESS.

 Apple and Major League  Baseball have not made an official announcement regarding the August “Friday Night Baseball” schedule; however, we can anticipate the following scenarios:

Similar structure: Judging from past years, we may anticipate Apple to stick to its former strategy of providing a doubleheader every Friday in August.

Put the emphasis on postseason contenders: The selected games will probably include teams that are in the running for the postseason, which will excite the crowd.

Inter-divisional games: Because spectators don’t see these clubs play as frequently, inter-divisional games usually draw more attention.

Recap 2: Episodes 101 - 150

Read Recap 1 ◊  Read from Episode 151

View Family Tree

SUMMER | MONDAY, EVENING

After she found Aurora, Audrey comforted her over her loss and offered her some relationship advice.

Then Artemis and Lorenzo warned Aurora about Hayden’s deteriorating health, and asked her to settle down quickly.

Meanwhile in the next room, Adam Andrews aged up to a toddler.

Hayden confronted Bailey in the study, and in the heat of the moment, ordered his son to leave the Cyanide Residence.

TUESDAY

The argument between father and son came to a head and Hayden reminded Bailey of the Reapers’ ability to summon spirits. But the situation became too much for Hayden to handle. He died on the spot of heart failure on Tuesday 4:11am.

After her cousin’s death, Artemis vowed to spend the rest of her days working on unfinished business - re-investigating the mysterious death of her father, Alexander Goth.

Later that morning, Fred discreetly re-investigated the death of his mother, Natalie Faust, and found that the evidence had been tampered with.

Meanwhile, Bailey confessed to his mother that Hayden had kicked him out of the Cyanide Residence before he died. Blythe told him to keep it a secret from the rest of the family.

Aurora found a vacancy for Audrey, who was thrilled at the prospect of pursuing her dream to be a writer - and also an opportunity to get out of the mansion regularly.

After she’d caught Fred snooping around, Chief Tiffani Behr proposed to promote Fred, but Colonel Pauline Whipple was reluctant to agree.

Aurora visited Catscratch Cottage to apologise to Jamie, who also apologised for their own behaviour.

Anxious over the possibility that the Reapers may summon his father’s spirit and discover that he has been kicked out, Bailey drowned his sorrows at the Salty Paws Saloon.

Late Tuesday night, Fred broke into the Acme office and retrieved the hard drive belonging to Rohil Datta, who was alleged to have misappropriated funds from the company that employed Natalie Faust.

He took the hard drive home and found an anonymous email addressed to Rohil, which contained a copy of Natalie Faust’s original email to Alexander Goth. Rohil knew that there was a whistleblower in Acme, but not the identity of the whistleblower, which the anonymous sender did.

WEDNESDAY

Unable to sleep, Artemis recalled the time when she summoned her father’s spirit.

As it was not Spooky Day, Alexander Goth’s spirit could not stay for long. But he also had no clues or leads to offer.

Artemis went to Brindleton Bay PD one last time to deliver her resignation speech.

In the basement floor of the same building, Audrey turned up at the Brindleton Bay Bugle for her interview with Everly Ranches, the editor.

After running an errand, Fred visited Alexander Goth’s desk to find Artemis seated. He offered to help her with investigating her father’s desk by bringing up deleted files from the computer hard disk. They agreed to work together, but Artemis would keep Alexander Goth’s hard disk.

Meanwhile, Rohil received a tip-off that his former office had been broken into, and that his hard drive had been removed. He called on the anonymous sender of the email to retrieve his hard drive from Fred by any means necessary.

Fred received a promotion to the rank of detective, but his mentor would be Lovisa Bjergsen, an illustrious sergeant with a thorny personality.

Later that day, Fred received a phone call out of the blue from an old acquaintance, Vernon Landgraab. He tried to back out of meeting Vernon that evening, but eventually gave into his guilt.

He thought of his childhood with Vernon, and hoped that from their meeting that evening Vernon would explain why he stopped keeping in touch.

Aurora and Jamie went window-shopping in Magnolia Promenade, where they also discussed plans to have a baby together.

At the Solar Flare lounge, Fred found Vernon with his girlfriend, Heaven Patel.

After hearing Vernon’s side of the story, Fred received a phone call from an enraged Artemis, who is disappointed by Fred’s apparent lack of commitment to their investigation.

Unbeknownst to Artemis, she was being watched by someone behind her back.

His mood turned sour after he was berated by Artemis. A highschooler named Jane Linde tried to flirt with him, and he turned her advances down.

As he was about to leave the lounge, Fred passed out.

THURSDAY

Bailey attended his final interview for the position of Project Manager at InfoSims. He was greeted by several key personnel, notably Phavithra Datta, sister to Rohil Datta; and Krishna Patel, father to Heaven Patel.

With an important team sports event later that day on her mind, Jane took a bite of growfruit, which is an illicit harvestable that raises testosterone and adrenaline levels, and the production of nitric oxide in the sim body. However, many sims take growfruit to increase their athleticism and productivity.

A scene between Rohil and his niece, Dharshini Datta (the daughter of Phavithra Datta and Ella Bjergsen) revealed that the Dattas are related to the Reapers - Lorenzo Capricciosa is Dharshini’s uncle.

After she broke down in tears, Blythe was comforted by Artemis Reaper. Blythe expressed her desire to retire and hoped to see Hayden again on Spooky Day.

Fred woke up in Oasis Springs in a daze. His pockets had been searched.

He returned to his home to find that it had been broken into. He lives with his cousin Franziska Faust and her husband, Ken Yamaguchi, and their three children: Julia, Jannik and Jana.

Artemis received a phone call from Fred, who told her what happened to him. She is certain that they are in danger and commanded him to work on Alexander Goth’s hard disk as soon as possible in the Cyanide Residence.

After the phone call, she returned to the nursery suite. Blythe told Artemis that she has retired, freeing up her own time to watch over Adam instead.

At the Brindleton Bay Bugle, Audrey was lightly teased by her colleagues and the editor-in-chief, Everly Ranches, supported the idea of an office party at the Salty Paws Saloon.

Fred arrived at the Cyanide Residence and started working on Alexander Goth’s hard drive in Artemis’s bedroom. As the hard drive was very old, Fred would have to spend more time than usual to access its contents.

Once Bailey returned from his job interview, Patchy the Scarecrow revealed the secrets of his power to him. The Reapers can summon the dead, whereas Patchy’s descendants can extend life. However, there are severe limitations on their powers to maintain the balance of life and death. As custodian of the secret to this power, no other sim can speak of it except Patchy alone.

Hello! I enjoy reading your episode recaps of armony, but would you mind tagging the episode promos/ specs with spoiler tags e.g. 'tcl spoilers' or 'the cleaning lady spoilers' please? Thank you so much!

oh, of course. No problem :)

TCL 3x01 thoughts

I think it's clear that I will never not have thoughts about this show (even if my days of wordvomiting 10k words per episode were over the moment we lost Arman) so here's some short(ish) notes about 3x01, which include heavy spoilers.

The main things:

The title of the ep is Arman which is both accurate and devastating

Adan is credited at the start with the rest of the cast, and don't think about how this is likely the last time we’ll see that or you'll cry

Where's Arman? is the catchprase of this ep. Everyone’s asking it; Thony, Nadia, Arman’s mother, Fi, Russo and the FBI, Ramona and Jorge…. 

Okay, I expected the use of the body double, but oh man when he turned around and had Arman's (CGI'd) face? God that hit me right in the chest. Overall it was done unexpectedly well for a show of this budget, even if the facial expression was more neutral than how Adan would have acted it in that scene. Honestly though, it was not getting to hear Arman's real voice that was the hardest part to bear

The Nadia & Thony of this ep was honestly everything I dreamed of. Nadia (unintentionally) saving Thony's life. Both of them escaping together and therefore being complicit in 'abandoning' the man they both love. Thony going to check on Nadia and looking after her like an older sister. The two of them bonded by their fear and desperation. Nadia hearing Thony’s sincerity when she told Arman’s parents that she owes Arman everything (proving that she wasn’t just using him like Nadia had previously accused her of). Them trying to come up with a plan in the office at La Habana, a place where they were both so connected to Arman. Thony stealing the cartel medallion so she could make the risky search for Arman without Nadia being endangered too. Like seriously, I’m hoping like hell this alliance continues for the whole season (and even beyond) because I’m legit so here for it

Wanna cry again? Think about how Arman technically saved Thony’s life twice in this ep, first by drawing the gunfire at the hangar to allow her to escape, and then by saving her from Sin Cara through her association with him. Which means that saving her was both his first (aka the night in the warehouse with Theo) and last acts towards her, and if that doesn’t capture just how deep their connection was, I don’t know what does 

“This season is dedicated to our beloved friend Adan Canto” it’s fine I was already crying anyway

Ok but seriously, the main takeaway here: I don’t think it is possible for anyone to watch this ep and not believe that Thony truly loves Arman. Not after seeing her sitting on the floor, half-drunk and ugly crying about losing him and leaving him behind. Or after she left Luca to spend hours searching for him. Or after she stood up to Arman’s father about the kind of man he was. Or after she literally lied to Jorge, even under threat of death, to protect him. Or after she told Ramona that she and Arman are “not exactly” together, while making it clear how important he is to her?? Other than the Thony & Nadia alliance, my only other desperate hope for this season was for it to show us even more evidence of Thony’s love for Arman (because both S1 and S2 already gave us plenty of proof, imo), and this episode already gave me that in spades.

Some other stuff:

Nadia definitely has access to RK's money despite it not making any legal sense, and it sounded like she was planning on leaving Arman, since she was buying a house just for herself

The Manila flashback where Fi and Thony are demonstrated as being 17ish years younger (aka in their mid 20s) purely by having different haircuts? Hilarious lol

"You're still protecting him? Even though his interests lie with another woman?" wow Russo calling it as she sees it re Thony/Arman

The re-use of the motel from when Arman and Nadia were in hiding in 1x09 was a really cool throwback (especially for me, as I've literally been in that room). Also, Arman's fake passport being under the name Eduardo Sanchez? Aka his father's birth name (as it seems his father took on his mother’s surname maybe?). Anyway help I'm crying again

Speaking of his parents, damn they haven’t seen him in 23 years? Since he was literally like 17 or 18?? Jeez. Also his dad’s eyes and mouth actually do remind me of him; definitely well-chosen casting

But tbh this family tree makes no sense. Arman’s dad has an older sister who’s 70 (as mentioned in S1) and yet apparently also has a younger brother (Jorge) who is maybe 45 at most???  Only a handful of years older than his own son?? It’s possible of course, but it would have made much more sense for the writers to have them be Arman’s mother’s siblings, yet Ramona refers to Eduardo specifically as their brother… anyway, ngl the whole idea of Arman being Jorge’s nephew (and so Jorge’s kid being Arman's cousin) feels weird to me. Why couldn’t they have just made Ramona & Jorge be Arman’s cousins????? 

Ohhh so the price on Thony’s head is in The Philippines, not the US. That changes some things with the cartel situation. Also looks like Thony is definitely never going back there then lol

The warehouse place where Thony meets the guys from the first cartel looks a lot like the crime scene Thony has to clean up in the trailers… maybe some gang war stuff happens?

I totally called it weeks ago that Paolo is Chris’ dad. The timeframe is weird though bc they make it sound like they were actually together right before she left, though he surely would have noticed her being very pregnant, since she gave birth to Chris while still in The Philippines… plus Fi told Chris he was the result of a one night stand, so who knows what’s going on with this continuity lol

I also called it about Ramona being Sin Cara. (Well, I had thought it might be Jorge until finding out the other week that she was the older sibling, but after that i called it lol)

Ngl I did not see Chris going to The Philippines coming but I should have haha. Makes sense that he’s now going to do the Mexico crossing with Fi, which is why we see him in the desert in one of the trailers.

Well, good thing the child protective services lady didn’t show up while Luca was there for hours alone lol. Looks like this season’s Luca drama is going to be less medical and more custody related, though tbh I’m hoping the Luca stuff will be kept to a minimum in general… 

Anyway the TLDR is that I thought the ep was really good, and was a fitting tribute to both Arman and Adan. I'm interested to see where S3 goes, and I just hope that they manage to keep Arman feeling ~present~ in the storyline of the season even now that he's gone.

After Oil Film Fest News + Updates + THANK YOU!

We have had an AMAZING year with After Oil! Let's do a quick recap:

After Oil screened at the 28th Annual Dusty Film and Animation Festival, where showwriter Shailyn Cotten walked away with the Award for Outstanding Achievement in Screenwriting!

The pilot for After Oil went live on YouTube, and now has been viewed over 15,000 times! Over 200 people have subscribed to the channel to keep up to date with the latest news about the show.

Last fall, After Oil was named an OFFICIAL SELECTION at Web Series Festival Global! 

IndieFEST presented the pilot with an AWARD OF MERIT in July 2017

In November 2017, Direct Monthly Online Film Festival awarded After Oil with BEST WEBSERIES and BEST SCREENPLAY

After Oil was named an OFFICIAL SELECTION at New York Television Festival! Showrunners Shailyn Cotten and Jessica Naftaly met with tons of other lovely television people to talk all about how the industry is changing for the better

WE WENT TO VEGAS! The After Oil crew partied hard(ly) with all the lovely queer women from ClexaCon Film Festival and got to see other some other upcoming LGBTQ+ webseries!

And now it's time to hit up Los Angeles! After Oil will be repping the East Coast in L.A. at Dances With Films this June 9th at the TCL Chinese Theatres at 7:45pm. We hope to see you there!

We simply COULD NOT have done this without your support. And that's not hyperbole. This show was a fangirl dream that budded into micro-budget reality. Without the love of people like you, wanting to see queer, POC, middle American stories on-screen, After Oil wouldn't be where it is now.

We have many more announcements to come, so stay tuned!

Episode 202 / Faust Files: part 110

SUMMER | SATURDAY, 19:47 - CLUB CALICO, BRINDLETON BAY

As the trio walked towards the pavilion, they caught the eye of Pauline Whipple.

PAULINE: (Well, well... this is interesting.)

Inside the pavilion, two members of Cut & Shuffle were deep in conversation.

JOHN KIM-LEWIS: -... like, what are the police even doing?!

SANUTHI JAYASINGHE: [hand on heart] And I think Devin once said that the first 72 hours are the most important. Watcher, I pray that child will be found. And for Scott's health.

JAMIE: Sanu, John. Meet Blythe and Lorenzo. Have a great evening!

Jamie turned on their heels to leave when Sanuthi's voice pierced the air.

SANUTHI: - Not so fast! We're one member short tonight. And it's been ages since you played with us - you're the founder, for Watcher's sake.

JAMIE: You mean Scott? His daughter's still missing?

SANUTHI: Mm hmm. And - [gestures to the other table] - two tables to fill.

JAMIE: Why not just one? Shu can sit out.

SANUTHI: We had a new member last week, Rudy. His car's already here.

JAMIE: Well... Okay then. But I can't stay for long.

Just then, two women entered the pavilion.

JAMIE: Shu!

NUR SYUHADA: Hi everyone! This is my eldest, Zahirah. Ooh, new faces!

JAMIE: Blythe, Lorenzo, meet Syuhada. She's the club leader.

NUR SYUHADA: Welcome! I hope you all have a good time this evening. Sanu, please be nice to them.

SANUTHI: What do you mean?! Of course, I'm a nice person!

JOHN: Nice... and competitive.

SANUTHI: Excuse me?! [slaps John's shoulder playfully]

NUR SYUHADA: [low voice] Why not stay and play a few rounds?

ZAHIRAH: Mak, I... have something to do.

NUR SYUHADA: Nonsense, it's a Saturday night! Plus, no money at my table.

ZAHIRAH: [resigned]... I guess.

The last member finally arrived.

SANUTHI: Rudy! What kept you? I saw your car parked up there an hour ago!

RUDY: Howdy. I went to the Paws for a bit. Then the Mayor sat on my lap and then - sigh, you know you can't move when a cat's sleeping on ya!

They laughed.

NUR SYUHADA: Rudy, this is Jamie the club founder, Blythe and Lorenzo. Jamie, Rudy just joined us last week.

RUDY: Nice meeting you all.

As their banter dwindled, they settled down and started playing.

SANUTHI: You newbies ready for this?

BLYTHE: Who are you calling a "newbie"?
