Tragic and painful to have to make rushed little text posts before hopping offline and never getting to interact w/ the rest of the fandom butttttttt AH, 4 MINUTES, HOW DO I LOVE THEE? LET ME COUNT THE WAYS

Original timeline Great is my new favorite character (though Tonkla can cage fight him for it next ep when he's back on my screen), and original timeline Great/Tyme is so very very VERY my shit. Orig timeline Great, someone who is used to horrible things happening around him/because of him, being full shrug emoji at horrible things being done TO him - at a hot doctor stalking him, seducing him, and non-consensually filming him and publicly exposing the footage - in fact, learning that Hot Doctor did all this to fuck with Great's stepdad just makes Great want him more - absolute character perfection, to me. The way you can see the raw material for who Great becomes when he has the superpower to make different choices - someone who wants to do good (to lock down that hot doctor who has utterly dickmatized him, mainly, lol but I think he also does just want to be better than his father and family, sincerely), but who is so totally acclimated to bad as his baseline, that it doesn't occur to him until afterwards that he could do anything but witness and enable all the violence around him. Never have I been so compelled by a character getting do-over powers, because never have I met one so human in his cowardice and inertia and instinctual, nurtured, self-loathed selfishness.

And GreatTyme is just so much more delicious to me as a ship in this form. Tyme clocked Great as a Sriwatsombat and a gay mark and immediately ruthlessly tracked him down, tumbled him into bed and made sure to film it. Like he came up with that plan so QUICKLY and so READILY and the only sign of hesitation he really showed was in the actual uploading of footage. All the awkward wincing pick-up line clumsiness we see in the new timeline is missing from original timeline Tyme. He isn't trying to get into Great's heart, just his pants, and there is literally zero hesitation when that's his goal. Being smooth at human kindness: AHHHHH. Being smooth at manipulation, sexual terrorism and ice cold revenge: He's in his element.

Idk I'm just obsessed y'all. Great's FIRST question was "Why haven't you answered my texts?" his SECOND question was "Why didn't you post that on Onlyfans and make some money?" only his THIRD question was "Why did you do that?" and his FOURTH question was "You're fighting with my dad? Wickeddddddddddd"

#don't get me started on korn and tonkla and korn being out of the loop of what's going on w/ great #but tonkla killing him before korn ever gets to talk to him like he so desperately wanted to in new timeline #the tragedy of korn's little brother helping kill (or at least not stopping and helping cover up the murder of) tonkla's brother #and tonkla ending korn's #this is all SO DELICIOUS #and SUCH IMPRESSIVELY EXCELLENT TELEVISION #WHY ARE THERE ONLY 8 EPISODES HOW WILL I LIVE IN THREE WEEKS T~T #4 minutes #4minutes #4 minutes spoilers #dear diary #consent issues #greattyme

i cannot lie neil josten is the realest character in all of fiction solely because he reacted to everything the way i would have

#ominous countdown when i know people are looking for me? ignore #lil bitch abuser talking shit on live television? verbally smack him back #the guy i'm down bad for also being down bad for me? staying impressively oblivious #needing to keep track of someone from my torrid past? stalker binder #og 🥍#aftg #aftg fandom #neil josten #all for the game

[TW FOR EYESTRAIN]

Oooooo villian Chocolate Bar ooooooooo~

This was supposed to be a simple doodle what happened 💀?

Meet the big bad of my Superhero AU. Just imagine Titan from Megamind but he was always malicious and controlling to begin with (and he actually has a wife and isn’t a massive incel).

Progress pieces and lore under cut:

Since I'm still working out this part of the AU, I'll just provide some vague stuff to chew on.

Choclate Bar was just some guy who on one really liked. He didn't really have a good personality either, but he did want to be liked. Somehow, he found out about a powerful piece of alien tech in its testing phase and decided to take it for himself. Long story short, the tech corrupted his mind a ton, leading to him kidnaping some of the scientists (the Gummy Bears and English Muffin) and the alien whose power was in the device (Click). Then, he gaslights a fellow criminal with future vision and mind-reading (Moonstone) into working for him or he'd kill their "close friend" (Diary). Then he helped a failing celebrity (Cracker) back on his feet with artificial super powers and a new fit in exchange for all his monetary gain and loyalty.

Overall, CB’s a manipulative piece of shit who kidnaps and gaslights people lol. What a guy, but his wife's sorta hates him now as a result </3.

He is the boyfailure of all time I'm sure nothing bad happens to him ever. Also the lyrics are from Will Wood's 2econd 2ight 2eer (that was fun, goodbye.). It's a great song please listen to it, it's basically his whole character.

Have a nice day fellas, I have homework to do :)

Man. I just get so actually legitimately sad each time I remember that toh ended and that we live in the post-toh world. Like it really is over.

Ms Dana Terrace has said that she'd like to do more given the chance (and after some quality time off of bigger projects, just to chill), but as far as we know, it's the end.

Heck, we barely got anything after the final episode, no books, no special merch, no dedicated little chibi shorts, nothing really, aside from the, thankfully fun, get-togethers of the cast and crew!

Idk. Ah well actually nah, I do know, that this show just meant an enormous lot to me. Incredibly huge, the kind that you can't break away from and wouldn't want to anyway. The kind that feels like, man, where would I be without it.

Happy 1 Year, to the end of The Owl House. Thank you, The Owl House.

I hope the future is bright, for all of us.

#The Owl House #TOH #Owl House #and tbh. its also why I havent exactly been posting as much!#I just. really miss it man.#and thinking so hard of how great it all was. gets me choked up for real lol.#I do hope theres more for us in the future. I really cant say for certain.#Cause to be less sentimental and more analytical for a moment #TOH was d1sney's biggest original ip hit that wasnt a movie for both such a long time and in a good long time!#Yes yes the internet doesn't always entirely mean the reality of things (which is why financially bcg is their biggest hit technically)#but to actually think back upon it all #TOH always had news articles and video essays and huge followings on tons of communities #especially on youtube! which isn't that easy! Youtube will always be dominated by bigger named things so the fact that toh DID get trending #number 1 more than once? Was incredibly impressive. And not just that but the viewer demand and count were through the roof! Huge in general #television numbers. All to say that is is that toh was an enormous hit. both financially and to people. so. yeah. It's. kind of in the air?#I guess? that no one really knows what could happen. I mean hell amph1bia is still getting books.#Granted....lets not forget ofc that disknee really. really. reaaaally doesnt. like. toh. ×^| but who knows!#personally? still hoping for a save the light styled game someday. or just some game that I can play on my switch someday.#but yep! Enough of my rambling. Thank you for everything The Owl House. really. Truly.

I love when I tell people I’m from Colorado and they’re like “oh Colorado’s gorgeous” oh buddy not where I grew up. I still think any area with non-planted trees feels exotic

#like. caveats obviously. a pine forest feels like home coz we went to the mountains often enough #fjsksjsh I remember the first time we went to New York and I said to my parents ‘are you sure were in New York? it feels like florida’#because. because there was a leafy green forest next to the road #I have lived IN THE WOODS in New Jersey for the last eight years and I’m still not used to there just Being Trees everywhere #most of Colorado is plains in my experience #a friend recently moved there from New Jersey and she described the state as ‘very yellow’ and ‘I miss autumn’#y’know I don’t think I’ve ever seen any part of Colorado other than the mountains portrayed on television #so that’s where people get the impression #there ARE beautiful parts of Colorado don’t het me wrong. but it’s the mountains #they don’t even make up half the terrain there #they certainly don’t make up a majority of the population #this has been a post

Inspector Morley, Late of Scotland Yard, Investigates: The Case of the Scarlet Letters (1.3, WGN-TV, 1952)

"Mr. Mullins, I have in my possession sixty-eight letters, none of which has begun to outlive its usefulness. I'm quite prepared to admit that blackmail is risky, but then murder has its disadvantages too - that is why I gave up murder."

#inspector morley late of scotland yard investigates #inspector morley late of scotland yard #(there's some confusion about the correct title of this series; it appears onscreen with 'investigates' but many online sources omit the #final word and it wouldn't be unique in having a title screen that differed slightly from the official name of the show; either way it's a #hell of an unwieldy name for your programme.....)#classic tv #1952 #john gilling #victor m. gover #tod slaughter #patrick barr #tucker mcguire #leonard sharp #another rediscovered gem made available by the good folks at kaleidoscope #oof. ok. so the story of Inspector Morley is complicated and still semi mysterious (the show is 70 years old after all‚ there's precious #little surviving documentation). as far as it goes‚ this was a UK production intended for sale to the BBC (there existing no independent tv #company in 1952). the beeb‚ for whatever reason‚ passed on the series. 13 episodes had been made and of these about seven were cobbled #together into feature films to recoup some of the costs; those survived and saw occasional outings on rainy afternoon tv schedules here #it was thought that the remainder were junked‚ but research (not my own i hasten to add) has revealed that the whole series was in fact sol #to the US where it was shown on WGN (a Chicago based station i believe). when kaleidoscope recovered this particular episode some 6 or 7 #years ago‚ it was thought to be the sole surviving episode‚ at least in its original format (ie. not edited into a feature). actually it #sounds like they might all exist and a few are even on youtube (including this one). this is very early detective tv and it shows its age #not just in its ropey visuals (it's all quite soft and fuzzy) but in its very old fashioned shape and design‚ which is closer to mid #century film than what television would shortly become. that sensation is only furthered by the presence of the immortal Tod Slaughter‚ a #bastion of early british cinema and one of the first horror icons the uk ever produced. unusually‚ it seems like he starred in most (if not #all) of the episodes of the series; unusual bc he plays the villain‚ opposite Barr's staunch ex copper Morley. having a recurring villain #must certainly have helped when editing the shows into films for cinema release but it was quite a strange choice for tv #tho perhaps a set cast reduced costs (this was clearly a budget production‚ tho it does feature some impressive early location shooting)#Slaughter is great fun‚ in full scenery chewing mode as the wicked and unrepentant mastermind behind all sorts of crimes #Barr even has personal beef with him‚ though it would require seeing the other eps to fully understand it i suspect

WELL. WE GOT THROUGH IT!

And Kohane is safe again, which is an all around win.

Apologies for the length of all this, I’d really forgotten just how long these chapters get at central moments. It’s FANTASTIC for storytelling, but I do hope I didn’t murder anyone’s dashboard in the process.

It looks like there’s more Kohane to come in the next chapter, but until then huge thanks to my patrons! This would have been torture without your support <3

filmed acting (like TV/films) is very interesting to me, and one particular reason is the fact that scenes of a story are often filmed out of order, for a variety of reasons. i wonder how it changes or affects an actor's preparation or understanding of their character to film that way.

#bluebird.txt #in that way they have to be as a person like a book maybe #where everything is always happening #like schrödinger yk?#especially given the story- and i'm thinking specifically of iwtv- doesn't reveal itself at once #and actors don't always know what script they will be handed for the next episode #and how do they do movies? do they write the script de una or do they write scenes and then film and then go back and change?#must look into this #as a person whose mode of performance is live from beginning to end #and who enjoys musical theater which is also performed live beginning to end #i find it fascinating that the way these works of art of television are constructed kinda piecemeal #like woag.#i don't think it's more impressive than live theater but i do think it is impressive on its own to be able to convey a character so well #when you might not even know the character's full story yet or starting your portrayal of the character backward in filming #or maybe i'm hyping it up too much in my head and it's actually just whatever #idk. it's respecting actors hours at iris central rn i suppose

i emerge from my room after a week of only watching succession. i understand succession sundays now. i am a mess.

#prepare for spam #so soo impressed by this show #now THIS was television #in love with how i began feeling bad for the characters at points AND THEN the show reminds me that they are in fact terrible #terrible people and i can't really root for any of them #i love how that forces me to interact with the story differently than i normally would #actually morally grey and complicated characters #not the watered-down mainstream tiktok booktok idea of morally grey #oh the tragedy of it all #what to do now #succession #🦦

i think the really fucked up thing is that i am so much more forgiving towards this stuff in television and film than in prose. if i watch a tv show and it's got its moments but part of the overall foundation informing its action is kind of sucks i'm like oh this is so interesting. i could analyze this. i could pick this apart. if i read a book with worldbuilding that shaky i'd be like fuck you the gay people who live in my phone do this better and they're not even getting paid and close the book

#the problem is that a television show especially one thats part of a longrunning Franchise (throws up) is like. the product of so many ppl #participants that it takes a lot of effort to make it cohere. like ds9 IS a stunningly coherent show for all of its flaws.#even the clone wars is Impressively Coherent For A Star Wars Show Based On The Fucking Prequels. that sounds backhanded but its sincere #a book is usually written by Mostly One Guy. if you fucked it up that one's on you.

So Vesterinen performed at the Emma awards tonight (the equivalent of the Grammys). Jepa and Heini even showed up for it! And a whole choir!

(edit: alt youtube link)

(They also won Vuoden Iskelmä, which was the only Emma nomination I felt they had any chance of actually winning)

Well, I'm not going to ruin it for the fanclub (unless they're reading this), but...

Spoiler under the cut...

You have been warned...

...

It's most likely a playback performance - so while the motions are real, you're hearing pre-recorded audio, not actually what they're playing on the stage. I know this because I've been on that stage (different venue but same event).

Yesterday's performance at the Iskelmä Gaala was legit though; you could tell because they actually had all their gear set up. (They got album of the year there, but those awards are by popular vote.)

#music #show biz secrets #the iskelmä awards are also not televised so there is no reason not to have a legit performance #if you're not there you just get to hear the acceptance speeches and backstage interviews on the radio #but it IS an excellent album and I'm happy the jury felt the same way #in the first impressions note that I gave him last year I gave it 9.5/10

It is Staggering how quickly I have gone from always being mildly paralyzed by fatigue + overwhelm to always being mildly paralyzed from listlessness + lack of sun.

#there was so much to do + now there is nothing to do I'm doing a good job w dishes but I have done...#so many projects... in the last week #made a tea menu to help us drink more than 4 of our teas #designed + wrote + printed zines for Christmas presents #developed a reading list for my ''reading books from every country'' project #repotted the basil #done all the preliminary math for 2 separate blanket knitting projects #watched 1.5 television shows - not gonna finish the second one I don't think #they are 12-episode shows so that is not extremely impressive but I sure did fixate on them #it is nice that we don't have to buy textbooks for classes but also I cannot do any preliminary reading which I resent

This is kind of a random still but it is a good example of why I'm enjoying this journey to the west adaptation so much

#this fight scene involves a magical guitar solo #executed with state of the art im guessing late 80s/early 90s television technology #sun wukong feels sort of like if you mashed jim Carrey's the grinch with bugs bunny and also hes a monkey #there are rubberface monsters left and right and fight scenes constantly #it reminds me of that good power rangers cheese for a number of reasons now that i think of it #i am grateful for the english subtitles i would have no idea what was going on or what anything was #but even without that there would still be plenty to enjoy here #as long as you dont find the monkey's laugh annoying. it is rare for him to not be making that sound. and other monkey sounds.#i get the impression the actor definitely studied monkey behavior for the role and i respect the commitment #hes doing wire fighting and transformations and they set him on fire at one point. all in that monkey makeup and fur.

Why tye fuck am I crying over ninja clash in the land of snow???? I fucking love this movie so much. It's sooooo fucking good. It's definitely my favorite and it was only the first ever Naruto movie. Can you believe they peaked at the first fucking one??? Why is it so good??? Fuck man aaaaaa

#i admit ive only seen three shippuden movies. but not counting the last or road to ninja (cuz they seem so good but i still havent seen them #sadge i know) but for real i wanna say they peaked at the first one. and i say that as a BIG fan of the lost tower #which is admittedly kinda rushed so like yeah of course ninja clash in the land of snow is better. im just very biased about the lost tower #granted i am certainly biased about all the part 1 movies. i guess im biased about the movies in general tho #since they count as filler and im always defensive of filler #also its SO funny to me that the land of snow has steam trains and blimps and the movie says movies exist #when all that stuff doesnt get invented in canon until post shippuden #theres a full on novel where kakashi and guy go on a mission in a. blimp?? hot air plane or something #and like half the point of the plot is that ITS A NEW INVENTION.#and i think the nerd kid's dad from boruto (IM SORRY I CANT REMEMBER HIS NAME RN) like. invented trains i think??? or he invested in their #invention. and that like #mega related to his character as a rich tech guy's kid.#and i KNOW the land of snow is technologically advanced and also not canon. BUT LISTEN.#its just so funny to think that kakashi literally saw a fucking blimp like 8 years prior and then proceeded to be impressed when #going on a mission to protect like some rich lady on her trip to the take off of the world first blimp or hot air plane #whatever the plot of that novel was.#like. its just fucking funny.#i dont even remember if regular television is confirmed to exist pre-boruto. outside like #cctv for the kages that we saw like. once? in fucking. season 1 or something.#personal
