A portrait of Sir John Herschel because I‘m normal about Pulp Musicals

"The author knew their history, a scientific sleuth. Maybe in another life, we would have got along..."

In another life. Sure, John.

Being a fan of a piece of media where one person plays multiple characters that interact with each other is so funny it's like woah they're such good actors Jeff Blim has such good chemistry with Jeff Blim

@pulpmusicalsfortnight2024 day two: horror + alternate: possession

if Kal had been slightly more sly with how he went about things earlier on, Gunpowder and Rum, Part 3 could have gone a little bit differently, I think

(an alternate version and my nonsensical explanations are under the cut, in case you're interested!)

alternate version, because I couldn't choose between the blue and the green and wanted to include both:

and here's my explanation for how Samuel was possessed here, although it's certainly not the only way this could have played out (I took some creative liberty with how Kal's fog works, too, so it doesn't entirely agree with canon):

in Gunpowder and Rum, Part 1, Kal doesn't do anything differently; he messes with Samuel's mind a little bit, but disappears once Rose arrives (same as canon)

Kal possesses AJ in Gunpowder and Rum, Part 2, however, at the end of the song, when Samuel comes in, he manages to trick Samuel into having a drink with AJ. the concoction he gives to Samuel is one he has engineered to be "dormant" until activated by some of his fog.

Samuel goes to Margaret, still suspicious about AJ (I would imagine Kal said something similar at the end of the encounter to what he said in canon), Something Familiar and Antikythera happen

at the beginning of Gunpowder and Rum, Part 3, Kal senses his chance and sends in The Fog™, taking Samuel's body and leaving AJ's body unconscious for him to return to as a back-up plan.

I got randomly possessed by the space blorbos again and suddenly I had doodled this idk. I LOVE Herschel and Rose so much. One might say that I love them to the moon and back. Alright that was terrible

I am SO EXCITED TO LISTEN TO THE NEXT EPISODE Y'ALL DON'T EVEN KNOW !!!!

[bazzleman]

Pulp Musicals my beloved August can’t come soon enough

i might make these into prints if anyone is interested! idk i think that would be cool

[moonytoastatmidnight]

If I had a nickel for every time Kim Whalen played an omniscient magical being I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

Genuinely Pulp Musicals may be one of my favorite pieces of media of all time.

In a world of gotcha bullshit twists and quippy dialogue with no substance and writers getting more and more limited in the stories they can tell with budget cuts and time restraints, there is something beautiful about it.

About this story about love and creativity, plotted out with so much care and consideration, that is just being made as a passion project by all these talented people because they love it just as much as we do.

Every time Kal has a duet with someone

[missholloween]

As a big fan of Jeff Blim's vocals, I don't think he's sounded better than in Pulp Musicals.

A serious and grounded character is not Jeff's usual type of character, and still ever since we hear Captain AJ's first lines we understand who he is. His performance is pirate tactics is amazing, but Damn The Torpedoes? A performance of a lifetime. We get to hear all of Jeff's vocal range, and god isn't it amazing, but also the emotion on his voice, the control he has in every line.

But at the same time, in the same episode we have Kal, another Jeff flex but in a really different way. Kal is charming, he's fun, but also he something slightly unerving about him. Jeff's acting choices, even if we only hear his voice, let us picture Kal perfectly.

Just. Jeff Blim, man. What a great actor.

Hello Pulp Musicals Fandom!

So, as you may have noticed, we have zero tags wrangled in our AO3 tag right now. Not only is this frustrating for filtering purposes, but it also means tagging your own fics with incorrect or missing tags is very common.

Therefore, I have been working on creating a master document that contains all the tags you'll need, and extras we can add for wrangling sake too.

You can find the link to that document at the bottom of this post. However, please keep in mind this is still being updated, and I am open to requests for additional tags to be added to this growing document. So, if you have a request, go ahead and either drop me a comment under this post, or feel free to DM me about it and I'll review it and let you know if I decide to add it.

Otherwise, I suggest you use this document for a guide when posting future fics, and also portentously consider going back and updating older fics with these uniform tags as well.

In this document you will also see a guide as to why certain tags are formatted certain ways, which tags are mandatory, and which tags are optional. My comments and DMs are also open for questions about any of those too.

Here you go, go wild!
