#was I watching Antiques Roadshow or something?!

Time

by Tori Wyatt. Feb 2019

I started a pretty (very) intense online art course this month and it’s left me with no time for making any other art than the pieces I’m doing for the course. This leaves me with little to share! So I thought I’d delve into the the past for things. I have very little in the way of finished pieces from the previous 9 years thanks to a serious wrist injury, but I do have a few bits. This is one.

I’d forgotten all about it until I began looking through my art apps! I made it in the first week or so of getting Procreate and it was part of my learning of the potential of the app. I have no idea why I drew a watch but obviously there was a reason at the time or I wouldn’t have finished it! As I write about it I’m starting to remember making it, but the why eludes me…

moms asleep time to FINALLY WATCH LAST WEEKS MP100 OH MY GOD

[detectivebambam]

guess who's sick again 🫣

guess who gives Andrew all of their problems 🫣🫣

guess what we're gonna do 🫣🫣🫣

Sick Andrew HCs

if you've been here before you know I hc Andrew as having a really weak immune system. he's sick all the time, and often catches one virus on top of another to make matters worse

he's very snuggly, luckily Neil has a much stronger immune system

very irritable when he's sick, since being sick is like vulnerability 101

he definitely plays when he's sick, because if he didn't, he'd never play

however he does use it as an excuse when he doesn't want to do something ie. running

loses his appetite fast, which is how everyone can tell when he's getting sick

goes through an entire box of peppermint tea in like a week. Neil makes sure to put a lot of honey in it

being sick actually makes his insomnia worse, so he doesn't sleep well, in turn making his illness last longer

when i say irritable, really i mean pissed tf off

he hatesss being sick, he hates that he gets sick so often, he hates that he feels weak and he despises that he looks weak

runs cold regardless, but can be a lot worse when he's ill. he burritos himself in blankets and watches Antique Roadshow until he passes out

M!Whitney x AFAB!Reader

Prompt Event: Lazy day

Words: 502

Tw: smut, unprotected sex, creampie

Note: YAY!! I don't know how you found my antiques roadshow post, I almost forgot it myself, but I love this so much. Thank you!! <3

“No, I have the remote.” Whitney refused, sounding like a child. He wanted to watch Antiques Roadshow and there was no denying him. I’ve created a menace.

I groaned and flopped down on his bed, giving up, knowing I wouldn’t be able to change his mind. “Fine, it better be a good episode…”

After seeing one too many creepy old dolls and no art, I grew bored. “Another one?”

He hushed me, “Quiet, slut.” I only rolled my eyes in response.

I suddenly got an idea, the only way to distract Whitney is with sex. Deciding to try something different from what I usually do I quickly straddled Whitney, pinning his arms down with all my weight. I started to bite and suck on his neck, leaving marks. “The fuck are you doing, slut?” He sounded annoyed that I interrupted his show but didn’t try to push me off.

“Shut up and let me have fun.” I grumbled into his neck before trailing my hands down his chest and to his clothed cock.

He laughed and grabbed my hips, “You’re shit at this.”

I huffed and pulled my hands away, “You’re such an ass.” He smirked before I laid down on his chest and wrapped my arms around him, “Can’t have any fun…” I was slightly embarrassed and wanted to hide.

Whitney laughed again and groped my ass before easily changing our positions, he was now hovering over me with a tight grip on my waist. “Let me show you how it’s done.” He smirked and quickly took control, stripping me of my clothes.

I gasped and moaned as he drew slow circles on my clit, taking his time teasing me. Sucking and lightly biting my nipples, pulling more moans from me. “Whitney…”

“Keep moaning like that, slut.” He smirked and thrusted two fingers in my cunt, scissoring me open and preparing me for his thick cock.

“Ah! Fuck!” I moaned and arched my back into his touch, “Please…” 

He ignored my pleading and made sure to pull an orgasm from me before pulling out his thick cock, rubbing it against my entrance. “Nice and ready for me.” He smirked and slowly thrusted into me, bottoming out. 

I whined and thrusted my hips, trying to get any kind of friction. “Please, Whitney.”

“Since you asked so nicely.” He didn’t hesitate in setting a brutal pace with fast and deep thrusts.

I moaned and wrapped my legs around his waist, raking my nails down his back and leaving red marks. “Fuck!” He easily pulled multiple orgasms from me, making me see stars each time. 

With one last thrust, he filled me with his cum for the umpteenth time and collapsed onto my chest without bothering to pull out. “I chose the perfect slut.” He mumbled as if I wasn’t there and wrapped his arms around my waist before getting more comfortable.

I scoffed but wrapped my arms around him too, leaning down and kissing the top of his head, “Love you too asshole.”

this might be a hot take but I think Louie was an antiques roadshow enjoyer when he was younger. like, people taking old junk to get appraised and finding out it's got a hidden secret that makes it actually very valuable? he'd eat that up. Sunday afternoons are set Dewey up with a popsicle and a video game while Donald, Huey, and Louie watch Antiques Roadshow time.

and it's not like they had a ton of money back on the houseboat so of course Louie would be quietly filing away everything he learns and searching the boat and thrift stores for something valuable. Donald is like "I regret imbuing you with this power. please do not ask where I got this signet ring you found in the back of my closet because it has zero family history and is probably worthless. let's change the subject"

Show Me Yours | Matty Healy [2]

chapter two, act one: antichrist

May 29th 2010

"You've what?"

"Changed the name of the band."

Comes the reply over the phone, "Why?"

Adam sighs on the other end, "Not sure, think Matty's going through an existential crisis again."

She snorts, "When is he not?"

She twirls the pen in her hand as she leans back, and lifts her feet to rest on her desk, "What's the name?"

"Uh, 19- sorry, the 1975."

She starts laughing, holding a hand to her mouth to hold it back, but the smile can be seen from miles away.

"He's very specific about the."

"Yeah?"

Adam hums, "Is it some kind of inside joke?" He asks, "Your tattoos? I don't get it, he won't tell anyone."

"Our little secret, Ads."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. I'm just glad I don't have to describe to girls why we're called Drive Like I Do, anymore."

"What girls?" She teases and she hears him laugh sarcastically on the other end.

It's silent for a few moments, and she picks at a string on her cardigan, "We've got another gig lined up."

"Really?"

"Yeah, a few, you gonna come up soon?"

She sighs, "I don't know, Ads, maybe."

"Matty uh, he bought your book yesterday. Was pissed I got a free one and he didn't."

She scoffs, "Didn't want him stealing my stuff again."

Adam laughs too, "It's great, Tommie, really. You're an amazing writer, you should do something with that."

"Maybe."

"No, you should." He says firmly.

She glances to the side, the little book sitting there staring at her, 75 pages of her own work. Her writing, her words, her poetry.

"Has he, uh, has he read it?"

"About a hundred times."

"Really?"

Adam hums, "We all have. It's good, Tommie." He hesitates a second, then adds, "Song worthy, band worthy."

"I'm not-"

"Yeah, I know. Thought I'd try again."

She wants to get off topic now, and talk about something other than her work. The thought of Matty reading it, understanding it, makes a red blush rise up her neck and across her cheeks.

"Did you hear what Nan and Granch are doing?"

"No." She can imagine his furrowed brows and confused tilted head, one that makes him look so much like their grandfather.

"Moving to France, or Spain, they haven't decided."

Adam laughs, "A place in the sun?"

"All the time, I can't come downstairs and see it on tele anymore, I'm going crazy, If it's not that it's an antique roadshow making him think he can become some sort of pawnbroker."

Adam chuckles again, "I think he's bored."

"I know, being retired doesn't suit him, he's trying to convince Nan to retire but she's still got four years before she's old enough."

"Doubt she will either, she loves her little break from him once a day."

"How is it over there?" He asks then, "At the McDuff household?"

"Great, actually, great."

"Tommie?"

She hums, moving her position so her feet are back on the floor, going back to staring at her notes for her English class, "How's things at the Fern household?"

"Well, dad's pissed he lost the custody battle. But, he did turn up to court drunk four times, so... that's his own fault."

"He seen you?"

"He asked me to go to dinner with him three weeks ago, still waiting for him to pick me up."

"What time was he supposed to be there?" Adam asks.

"Three weeks ago." She repeats slowly.

She hears him sighs, can imagine the pity falling off of him, "Tommie-"

She cuts him off quickly, not wanting the pity, "Nan's calling me, think dinner is ready, I'll call you monday when I get more credit."

"Okay, bye, Tommie."

"Bye, Ad."

Adam turns away as he hangs up, opening up the door again to step back inside Matty's place. Despite the early hour, seven thirty, both Ross and George are passed out on a sofa each. Matty's curled up on the beanbag he'd brought down from his bedroom, book in hand, glasses on, leaving the armchair open to Adam.

"She okay?"

"Yeah, revising for exams."

Matty nods, not tearing his eyes away from the page, "What do you think she means by 'watch my inane tears'?"

Adam looks up, "What?"

"In her one poem, she's written, 'the consequential ignorance, as you watch my inane tears', what do you think she means by that?"

"You know, if there was a poem in there about you, she'd have told me."

Matty closes the book, sending him something between a glare and an embarrassed look, "That's not what I'm trying to find out. I-"

He sighs looking away, "Your cousin is a very private person. She only reveals things she wants to, and I'm very nosy." The other boy just raises a brow slowly, "I'm trying to understand how her mind works, she's- so, I don't know, her mind is just- amazing."

"But," Matty asks, "What do you think she means?"

"Which poem is it?"

"The art of eye contact."

Adam remembers their conversation where she talked about it, "It's about her father, ignoring her and moving on to the next child. So, I guess she means like- I don't know." Adam shakes his head then looks at Matty, "But I have a feeling you think you do?"

"Well, I had to use a dictionary, no idea what inane means, or how to pronounce it. But according to the dictionary, it means, 'lacking sense'." Matty sighs, "I think it's her saying that her tears are worthless because they make no sense, she's been holding them back for so long at this point she's crying over things she doesn't need to cry over."

He looks up at Adam, "Is she okay? When you talked to her?"

"She's fine, Matty."

"Really?"

"Yup."

He nods, then he looks down at the page again watching his scruffy handwriting in blue ink beside the printed words as he reads the poem over and over until it's engraved in his head.

The Art of Eye Contact, by Tommie McDuff

Look at me, In your condescending way, Judge how I am free, And then watch my words decay. They fall upon deaf ears, The consequential ignorance, As you watch my inane tears, And ignore our indifference. We are not the same, One man, One full of shame, No more than. A plain chaste, Woman of a child, Destroyed in her haste, But even then she smiled. Look at me, Again, meet my eyes, The baleful banshee, It's time you realise. Again, look at me, And allow me to distract, After all this is just the Art of eye contact.

June 3rd 2010

Sixteen.

She thought maybe it would feel different but as she rolls over, noticing the yellow post-it note that's been placed on her pillow she sighs.

Happy Birthday, sweetheart. Working late tonight, see you then x

As she scrumples the paper up and tosses it into the plastic bin beneath her desk she lays back down in bed.

She thought being sixteen would be different, thought being sixteen would make her mother try and stay around for a birthday.

She sighs then checks the time, eight-thirty. She doesn't have an exam today, next one is on the eight, history and maths. She hates maths.

Hearing her grandfather tottering around downstairs forces her up, she smiles when her foot hits something and recognises her nans terrible wrapping skills lying at the bottom of her bed.

When she unwraps it she smiles at the soft fabric. A little knitted green cardigan lays inside and she lifts it up.

Her nan's been really into knitting lately, reading books on it until she perfects the little thing.

Tommie had asked for a new cardigan, the one she'd bought got caught on a door at school and ripped, she'd been heartbroken. It was her nannie's, the only thing she'd had of her after she died.

She pulls on some grey sweats, an old Stereophonics t-shirt then her new green cardigan over the top and heads downstairs quickly.

"Morning."

The dog, Taffie, is the first to greet her, the little Jack Russell that's still like a puppy despite her age of fourteen.

She leans down to pat the dog's side, smiling as she turns to lick at her hand.

"Good morning."

She stands quickly turning to the settee, "Hey."

"Cute slippers."

She rolls her eyes, looking down at the little cow slippers on her feet, "What are you doing here?"

Matty grins, looking up as her nan walks in with a cup of tea in her hands, "There you go, Matty."

"Thanks, Mag."

She settles beside him and then notices her granddaughter, "Tommie, happy birthday."

She gets back up to kiss her on the cheek and she smiles, "Thank you, and thanks for my present."

"Granch has got some pancakes on."

She goes back out into the kitchen with a promise of a cup of tea for her and then Tommie goes back to looking at Matty.

"Happy birthday, Tommie."

She smiles sitting beside him, "Thank you. But seriously, what are you doing here?"

"Fulfilling my life goal."

She rolls her eyes a little and shakes her head, "Matty..."

"What?" He shrugs a little avoiding her burning gaze.

She plays with the sleeves of her new cardigan, "It's four hours here from Manchester, and it's only nine."

"Actually, it's three hours and fifteen minutes, and I've been here since eight."

"Matty."

He shrugs, "I couldn't sleep, then I thought to myself, 'Wow my amazingly talented and funny best friend has her birthday today, I should go see her'."

"Thank you," She says again, "But you didn't have to."

"But, I wanted to-"

"Breakfast for the birthday girl."

She smiles at her grandfather as he walks in, he places a kiss on her forehead, "Happy birthday, my little flower."

"Thanks, Granch."

As he hands her the plate he checks his watch, "Oh shit, I've got to go. Late to go to the station."

He kisses her head once more, "Happy birthday."

"See you tonight."

"Tomorrow," He says as he leaves, "I've got to pick up a night shift."

Her nan shakes her head, "He's supposed to be retired. Always running off to 'look after' the engines."

Her nan sticks around until lunchtime, pestering both her and Matty to make sure they eat something before she leaves for her shift at work.

"What do you usually do on your birthday?"

"Sit around, watch tele, eat, cry, eat, watch more tele, eat."

He groans loudly, "Right, get up, put some actual trousers on, and some suitable footwear, we're going out."

"Out? Where, you've been here twice before. And got lost trying to find ASDA."

"I've been researching."

"You asked, Adam?"

He blinks at her slowly, "Get dressed."

⋆｡ ﾟ☁︎｡ ⋆｡ ﾟ☾ ﾟ｡ ⋆

"Gonna tell me where we're going?"

He sighs, fingers drumming the wheel, "I have to, I have no idea where I'm going." She chuckles, "I was going to take you to that ice cream place, in Brecon."

She smiles to herself, "Third exit on this roundabout."

She turns back to look at him then with a smile, "You're taking me for ice cream."

He nods, looking over at her with his own little smile, "Gonna make it the best birthday ever."

"No need," She says, leaning forward to mess around with the radio, "Already is."

"We haven't done anything yet."

She shrugs, "You're here, I've left the house and we're on our way to get ice cream," She turns back to look at him as Katy Perry fills the car, "It's already the best birthday I've ever had."

His smile only gets bigger as he keeps driving forward, taking in the beacons and the sunlight peeking through the trees as they go.

⋆｡ ﾟ☁︎｡ ⋆｡ ﾟ☾ ﾟ｡ ⋆

"Where are we going?"

She laughs and keeps running, dragging him behind her through the field until finally, they stop, she turns walking backward then falls flat on her back.

He chuckles, walking closer, "What are you doing?"

"I used to do this as a kid with Granch, star gaze. He's a big constellation freak. Come here."

He sits beside her then slowly leans back into the grass, "Bet you've never seen stars like this, Healy, huh?"

He tilts his head, "They're so much brighter."

"That's 'cause the street lights in the city put all the stars to death."

"Wow." He chuckles and she turns to look at him, "How poetic of you."

"Shut up, it's true."

He sighs looking up, "Okay, what are the constellations?"

She snorts, "I don't know, never really paid much attention."

He tilts his head, "That one looks like a blunt."

She snorts, "You're such a junkie."

"A junkie wanna-be, baby."

She scoffs, "A sycophantic junkie."

He raises a brow, tilting his head down to look at her, "Really? Sycophantic? Thought I'd at least be like prophetic level."

"Since when could you see the future?"

He turns fully onto his side, "I can predict the future."

"Go on then, read me, Healy."

He closes his eyes, hovering his hand over her face and she giggles, he peeks one eye open to look down at her, "Shh, I need to concentrate."

She purses her lips, looking up at him as he closes his eyes again, his curly dark hair falling across his forehead causing him to try and blow it up out of the way.

"I see... a band-" She pushes his hand out the way but he fights back to keep it there, "And- an album. Loads of money, big houses, parties, celebrities, red carpets-"

"Wow, like living an actual nightmare."

He opens his eyes now, "You wouldn't want that?"

She shakes her head, "Not for me. I'd rather have enough money to get by and live in a little house with a dog or two alone, for the rest of my life."

"That's a sad life." She shrugs her shoulders, closes her eyes, and lays down again.

Matty sighs, shifting a little. He's the opposite of her, never one for silence whereas she thrives in it.

"What would your superpower be?"

"Um..." She sighs, brows furrowed and eyes still closed.

"Reading minds."

"Boring."

She elbows him in the rib and he dramatically cries out, rubbing the area, "Why is that boring?"

"It's such a basic answer."

"You don't even know why."

"Okay," He nods, turning to her, raising his one eyebrow in a challenging way, "Why?"

She flicks his forehead, "So I could see what's going on in there." He catches her wrist moving her hand away.

He shakes his head laughing and she laughs too, moving up onto her elbows, "What? I'd love to see inside your mind."

"Why? It's a scary place."

"Oh, I don't doubt it. But so I could see how you come up with your songs,. Like Lost Boys, ooh, and sex, where'd that one come from? I know for a fact little Matthew Healy never asked anyone to meet them in the back of his van."

"I did, actually."

"Lies." She calls him out immediately, then giggles to herself, "You sound like a paedo in that song."

"Gee, thanks."

"You're welcome."

⋆｡ ﾟ☁︎｡ ⋆｡ ﾟ☾ ﾟ｡ ⋆

Matty stops the car, pulling up the handbrake then looking over at her with a huge smile. "Home."

"Thank you." She says sincerely as she shrugs off the seatbelt.

"Happy Birthday, Tommie."

"Uh, you wanna stay? I can set up the spare room, it's in the attic and a little creepy but I'm not staying in there, so it'll have to do."

He chuckles, watching her pick at a string on her jeans, "I'm okay, I've got to get back anyway."

"This late?" She asks, she glances at the little watch on her wrist, brows furrowed and he chuckles at her confusion.

"Two twenty."

"At twenty past two in the morning? You've been here since early this morning, Matty, surely that's not healthy."

"I'll be fine."

"Healy."

He grabs her hands that pick at her thumb and squeezes it, "I've gone longer and further with no sleep, at least I've had a couple of hours."

She sighs, knowing he's too stubborn and she won't win. Nodding her head she opens her door and smiles as she leans down but he jumps up, unbuckling his seatbelt, "Wait, wait..."

He runs around to the back of the car, opening up the boot and calling her over. He takes a big case out and hands it to her but she hesitates, "Matt..."

"Happy Birthday."

"I-"

"Just open it, please."

She unzips the bag slowly gripping the guitar by the neck and then looks up to him. That adorable pout and head tilts of hers staring up at him.

"Matt."

"It's the one Alex Turner plays."

"I know." She smiles and nods quickly, looking down at the Fender Stratocaster in her hands. It's a dark green colour, her favourite.

She rubs her fingers over the colouring, plucking a few strings, briefly playing what he recognizes as a tune of crying lightning.

"I can't-"

"You can, it's a birthday present, can't give them back."

"It's too expensive."

"It's not just from me, it's from all of us."

Her shoulders drop quickly, "Is this some kind of ploy to get me in the band?"

"No, I think it was Adam's idea to get you to stop stealing his when you're over."

She looks down at the guitar again, she turns and sits on the edge of the boot, resting it on her thigh, "Play me something." He requests, hands in his pockets as he leans against the side of his car.

"What?"

"Anything."

She thinks for a moment, hands moving as she plays around, plucking a few strings here and there.

She finds herself doing a favourite of hers, C'est la vie by Stereophincs, she hums the lyrics a little as she goes on.

"See? Natural." He says.

After putting it back in the case, swinging it over her shoulder and looking up at him she smiles once more up at him.

A big toothy smile that has the corner of her eyes crinkling and cheeks tinting red in the cold air of the night.

"Thank you, Matty."

He nods hands still in his pockets as he turns away from his now closed boot, "Happy birthday, Tommie. Did I do it?" She raises a brow, asking him to explain, "Prove birthdays can be good."

She shrugs, "Not really." His whole demeanour changes, shoulders sagging and his smile falls. "Everyday with you is like this. Fun, adventurous, happy..."

His head lifts again, and he lifts a hand quickly to wipe away the curly dark hair that has fallen across his forehead.

She steps closer, lifting up on her tiptoes to kiss his cheek, "Thank you."

He nods, watching her step back again before turning to go into her house. As he gets in he doesn't see her turn back to watch him drive away. Or hear her mutter warnings to herself about having a crush on her cousin's best friend.

Who not only lives three hours away but is a good few years older too.

"Stop it, Tommie," She says, quietly closing the door, "He's your friend."

if trolls were real i wouldnt put them in a container, id ask if they wanted a drink, and theyd say yes, and id ask if they were cool with water or if they wanted something more interesting, and theyd say more interesting bc theyre trolls, and then id give them coffee and their little hearts would start pounding like hummingbirds and id have to calm them down by forcing them to watch antiques roadshow or portrait artist of the year

What the Townies Watch on the Television

Stardew brainrot going wild. Clint doesn't get a fancy colour because he doesn't deserve one. <3 Unlike Krobus who doesn't get a colour because he's special and lovely.

Bachelors:

Sam: Something in relation to urban mysteries like UFOs and monsters like Bigfoot. He'd watch shows about ghosts too but he's too scared. Also, those 'Top Twenty Fails' shows!

Elliot: History shows, obviously. They're great for references and also just super entertaining overall! He also dabbles in the occasional gardening show to help him take care of his seasonal flowers.

Sebastian: I feel like he barely watches TV, but when he does it's something comedic. Think Stardew's version of Seinfeld. Any of that trashy TV to pass the time.

Harvey: Like Elliott, Harvey's a big fan of the history channel. He also loves those urban mystery shows that talk about missing vehicles because he gets to learn about all the ins and outs of how they worked.

Shane: He'll watch anything except for the news and romance. The news is too depressing for his already endorphin-drained mind and romance shows feel too trashy. He just has the sports channel on in the background whenever he's doing something.

Alex: We all know the answer: sports. But he's also a fan of the cooking, gardening, and antique shows! That's all thanks to Evelyn. And George has forced him to become used to all his depressing channels, though he tries to avoid that.

Bachelorettes:

Penny: She loves children's shows and antique shows like the Antique Roadshow. They just give her a wonderful feeling of nostalgia and warmth inside.

Leah: All those repairing and art shows. If only she knew Bob Ross... She would be in love. She is also an avid enjoyer of gardening and cooking shows. They give her great foraging tips!

Abigail: Children's shows. But where Penny is more aimed at the littler kids cartoons, she likes the stuff around the age things like Danny Phantom are aimed at. Stardew Valley would also have a ton of monster hunting shows that she loves.

Maru: Science shows, duh. Absolutely anything to do with science - even those UFO shows and lost city programs. Even if she thinks they're fake, she has fun debunking them. She's also a sucker for a good romance series.

Emily: Sewing shows, repair shows, art shows, dance competitions - anything artistic. She's the one who watches the news, so Haley doesn't have to. She handles the stresses shown on there a lot better than her sister.

Haley: She's not really a fan of TV. It's a lot of her aimlessly scrolling through channels of trashy TV programs until she gives up and something grabs her eye. What she usually settles on are some fun ghost hunting shows.

Other:

Jodi: She barely gets time for television. But when she does, she likes to watch kids' shows with Vincent or a good drama. Something to distract her from the business of her life. She's also heavily invested in the news in the hopes of knowing how her husband is.

Vincent: Kids shows, obviously! He's eight, what else is he going to watch? Ever since his father left, he's been banned from watching the news so as not to worry him, but he's caught sneak peaks by listening in on his family's commentary anyways.

Kent: For the years leading up to and the first year of the farmer's arrival, Kent couldn't watch television at all. Being a soldier in the front lines and all. But when he got back, he really got into the lighthearted stuff. He needed a good distraction.

Robin: Woodworking shows; specifically, treehouse building. She just thinks it's so cool how people just decide to put these grand houses in trees of all things. She also loves romance and drama series.

Demetrius: He's not one for TV. He tries to avoid it due to how depressing and dependent it can make you. When he does watch it, he's watching the movies.

Marnie: Funny fail videos. She's a sucker for funny cats. And of course, there are the animal shows. She loves shows like Better Homes and Gardens.

Jas: Once again, kids' shows. Her and Vincent are obsessed with them. She also caught a glimpse of a murder mystery show and was entranced. What can I say? She's a bit of a Wednesday Addams.

Evelyn: Baking, gardening, and antique shows. She also loves travel programs. It makes her all happy to see people having a good time. And she gets to daydream about travelling the world.

I would give all my money to let her go on a cruise. </3

George: All the depressing stuff. Murder mysteries, missing person cases, the news, all of it. Then he acts like that doesn't fuel his horrible mood. He's just using his cynical feelings to survive at this point and needs fuel.

Pam: She hates it, but she's addicted to the news. She also loves to watch royal and historical dramas. It makes her happy to know that it's not just her that's suffering (even if those other people are fictional).

Pierre: The Art of the Deal /hj. Nah, he's watching all that conservative stuff. Also loves those shows where they renovate and sell houses. He just wishes he could own a big house like the people on the show.

Caroline: Cooking shows and meditation classes. She needs a bit of a breather, so any programs aimed to help relax are appreciated. She also studies the fitness programs for her classes with the other townies.

Linus: He doesn't watch TV. Firstly, he lives in a tent, and secondly, television isn't all too good for you.

Clint: Romance shows that he self-inserts himself into aka pretends he's with Emily. I'm sorry I just don't like Clint. Also, metalworking.

Rasmodius/Wizard: He doesn't watch TV. Ever.

Krobus: He likes any shows, but particularly fantasy dramas. He gets to enjoy the creativity of humans AND study their social systems.

Leo: He never used to have television, so it's all very new to him. But like the other kids his age, he's all about the children's network.

What kind of TV shows do you think a modern Boba Fett would like watching? I had the most random image in my head of him watching The Great British Bake Off. It's raining horribly and I've had a shit day, the thought of watching TV junk with Boba brings me some joy 🥰

Ohhhh a very good question!

I agree with The Great British Bake Off. I could also see him enjoying the Antique Roadshow and also some HGTV shows but really only the ones where it’s about flipping houses? He enjoys watching them to them say what he would have done different or how they’re making a mistake or something 😂🥰

🍻 and 🙏 for the ask game?

oops i missed some asks!

🙏 something i'd like to see happen that's unlikely to happen

might be a little unpopular but i'd like to see Jumbo reverse their fortunes from last year and win 0 grand tours and at least one Monument (however we've all seen the profile of the Tour's final week -- so many long climbs at 2000m+ elevation, prudhomme's practically handed it to jonas on a silver platter)

🍻 watching races live

hopefully a couple! answered in another post here, but something i'm going to miss about watching races in general is the Champs-Élysées stage 21 of the Tour -- sure, that final ITT is going to be (hopefully) full of ✨drama✨ but i'm most likely going to be at my parents' for the end of the Tour, and we have some long-standing traditions for Paris, it's a whole thing:

family ride in the morning, get out into the local countryside for a couple of hours

come home for lunch and bake something Tour themed (biscuits decorated like wheels, croissants, cakes with little national flags stuck in the top, jersey biscuits have all been recent years)

get settled down and watch some telly before the broadcast starts (usually something slow and quintessentially british like antiques roadshow or Countdown), place small bets on who's going to win the sprint

have some champagne ourselves (getting out the fancy glassware for once) along with the baked goods as the coverage starts, spend the whole time basically chatting about our favourite moments from the Tour and what we're looking forward to next year

big printout of the route map and the bunting doesn't come down until the day after the Tour's finished (but now it gets replaced with the Femmes route!)

when i was little, it kind of felt like a low-key version of christmas/easter and was always a lovely part of the summer; when i moved out and stopped watching the Tour for a few years i'd always miss it/come home and catch up for the weekend and find out the result that way. this year we're doing the same thing but with the TT on instead. it'll just be different!

early season ask game

finally sitting down and making a post to kinda introduce myself and explain any possible downsides to my internet vibe

SO….for starters, you guys can call me al, although i’m really in the market for a new nickname with a horrific backstory lmao. I use she/her pronouns, and I live in the US!

I’ve been OBSESSED with ESC since 2018! Eurovision has been the one thing that’s been consistently good throughout my life and i’m too far invested to give it up lmao.

Anywho, here’s some random little fun facts about me!

- I pretty much fit every description of my zodiac sign/personality types. I’m a Gemini, ENTP-T, and my enneagram is 8w7. Maybe it explains why i’m such a spiteful human being

- I’m starting my first year of uni in August and I could not be more excited !!!!!

- I LOVE history and will make it a point to visit as many historical sites and museums as possible on every trip I go on! I love going to historical reenactments and hope to do that as a side quest sometime in the future.

- Maybe 80% of my current playlist is Eurovision related, but I’ll listen to anything (although i’m VERY picky about country music). I have a playlist on Spotify called “intro to my shockingly basic music taste” that i’ve been using to introduce potential uni friends to what I listen to, feel free to check it out!

- I’ve only been to 4 concerts which surprisingly is NOTHING compared to everyone else I know irl. So far i’ve seen Three Doors Down, Coolio/Vanilla Ice, My Chemical Romance with 100 Gecs, and Måneskin (which was BY FAR the most fun i’ve ever had).

- Speaking of music, my top artist right now are Marco Mengoni and Joker Out. Can you tell I miss eurovision?!?! I was also in the top 10% of Doja Cat listeners last year..,…

- My best friend (who I met through Eurovision groups) recently wrote a book and it’s dedicated to me! It’s by far my biggest flex. (they also run the podcast for the esc news account we volunteer for and i was the first and probably most chaotic guest)

- I don’t watch a lot of tv…my favorite shows are literally Community and Antiques Roadshow….

- I do, however, watch a LOT of movies! I watched 74 movies last year and ranked them! I *mostly* love really boring historical dramas and war movies so you already KNOW i’m gonna go crazy for Oppenheimer when that comes out. Some of my faves (in no particular order) are All Quiet on the Western Front, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Airplane!, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, and Memphis Belle.

wow it’s actually really hard to write about myself now that I think about it…but i’m SO down to answer any questions and what not! (plz bc i don’t interact with anyone irl how crazy of me)

Other than running this account, I also started my first ESC season as a team member of a moderately-sized Eurovision news group on instagram, which has been INCREDIBLY fun! I highly suggest you guys get involved in something like that if you’re looking for friends in the ESC community (which i’m still on the hunt for, but i’ve got a good start). Along with that, I also make silly little eurovision related whisper posts and you can find a few of those here, but there’s plenty more on my little side account @escwhxpers! My DMs are open there pretty much all of the time!

yuck ig promotion is WEIRD

so yeah! hopefully everything was spelled right and that this was…informative?

also my pinterest is @allshaj if you wanna see all of the eurovision related things i’m printing out and hanging in my dorm room lmao

thinking about speavy and medsnip double date ideas i posted on twt forever ago and then realized i never posted it on here so let's discuss...

spy and heavy will come and sit with sniper and medic on the couch who are reading Quietly/cuddling and spy will be like "do you mind if i turn the television on? :)" and heavy gives spy a look that's like Spy Don't Start. Do Not and spy waves a hand dismissively like 😇

and sniper doesn't look up from the book he's reading over medic's shoulder (resting his chin on medic's shoulder with his arms around medic's waist) and medic's like "ja, do whatever you want" and spy smirks and looks at heavy like 😇 and heavy gives him a Wary Look like 🤨…

spy turns on like.. antique roadshow bc he Knows they will rile up sniper and medic because it Always Does. Always Without Fail and spy's like humming to himself Giddily as he turns it up and leans against heavy and Waits for the Real Show to start and if sniper and medic don't look up right away spy will have to like. Goad them and be like "hmm... someone found a [old painting, pottery, etc] in the garbage.. i bet it's real." 

so sniper will look up and look at the tv and medic will adjust his glasses and be like "well, there is so much art out there, i imagine one wouldn't be able to tell without chemical testing of the artifact itself." and spy hums and heavy Nudges spy like Stop Kicking the Hornet's Nest and spy bats his eyes at heavy and waits a few mins and is like "oh! would you look at that. it's real." and medic's head Whips to look at the tv and he's like "THATS IT?! where is the Process? the Examination? Absolutely ridiculous, you can't just-!" 

spy's grin is Growing More and More and medic snaps the book shut and sniper glares at spy (“i was reading that! and you’re interrupting our time together!”) and spy smirks because now they’re Sucked In….

they have a Game where they place bets on whats real or fake (or country/region of origin, date of creation etc) but medic and sniper get Really Intense over it and heavy's like “😅 ah.. is a just show, heh.." trying to calm them down and spy is Relishing in the chaos and sniper's like "THIS has to be real. those artifacts have telltale markings and were discovered in [ideal location for excavation]!! i've BEEN there!!" and its fake and sniper's like AAGUUHHH and spy is like. shaking with laughter he's trying Desperately to hold in. 

medic will be like "no, This Piece is fake. there is simply No Way that this lamp is tiffany! there isn't!" and then spy's face Lights Up when the little old lady on the tv is like "hurrah! why, it Is In Fact vintage tiffany glass. wow, a stupendous find!" and there's Applause and medic flings the book he and sniper were reading at the television 

and at this point spy is like. leaning behind heavy and Snorting Softly against heavy's back because he just Can't help himself.......... he loves the chaos. medic cursing and saying Ridiculously Foul Obscenities in german and sniper firing off derogatory australian slang at the tv and squeezing his arms around medic's belly in Anticipation of whether something is real or fake... and medic patting/gently whacking sniper's forearm/shoulder like "ja, this one i will be right on. i know it!!" etc (they're a v touchy feely couple) and heavy's like "can't we just.. spend time together in peace? 😅” 

so spy is like "fine! i'll turn it off then! 😇“ and medic and sniper Death Glare him and are like "NO!! KEEP IT ON GOD DAMMIT WE HAVE TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS" and sniper’s shaking his head and Muttering to himself against medic's hair and medic is Squeezing sniper's hands Tightly in anticipation and leaning forward and heavy Sighs and gives spy a Look and spy's like “👉😇👉 you heard them! they want to keep watching!" and heavy rolls his eyes and sighs...

Rewatching Time Is on My Side

Welcome to “He's not even staying caught up on his reading: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!

  Up today, s3e15: Time is on My Side.

    Dean's running out of time and Sam's getting desperate to save him, so Sam convinces his brother to head to Ohio to investigate cases of folks getting abducted and then waking up without certain organs. Secretly Sam suspects it's the reappearance of a zombie-like doctor their father hunted years ago, and he wants to learn the dude's secret to long life. Turns out it comes with a heavy price that Dean refuses to pay. Cue the gross-out organ harvesting scenes and fraught boys.

  Below is a log of our real-time reactions as we watched. Remember that there may be spoilers for any part of SPN’s 15-season run here. Note also that the nature of our conversation is adult and thus it may contain adult language and themes.

 [and we begin:]

  Lor:

cool. gross dudes.

  Mace:

  HA! YEP

  Lor:

maybe one of them will get a supernatural comeuppance

Mace:

  it’s just possible

  Lor:

juuuust maybe

  Mace:

snork

  Mace:

  EW

  Lor:

yeeeeah

  Mace:

  any nurse worth her salt wouldn’t react like that, I’d think

  Lor:

RIGHT?

  Lor:

especially if she's an ER nurse or ER triage. come on

  Lor:

oh when will these demons learn that you don't insult a Winchester's family?

  Mace:

  he’s using the Dean Voice

  Lor:

he IS

  Mace:

  right?

  Lor:

like, don't they have a demon bulletin board on Hell Commons, or something?

  Mace:

HAHAHAHA

  Mace:

  oooof. Dean’s face

  Lor:

YES

  Mace:

  the other other white meat

  Lor:

LOL

  Lor:

"I mean, obviously, I want to hunt some ZOMBIES"

  Lor:

"excuse me. no, no we're very smart"

  Lor:

"you done?" " "I think so"

  Mace:

HAHAHAHA DEAN

  Mace:

  he’s hopped up on zombie excitement

  Lor:

he is

  Lor:

people are really bringing the sarcasm to the boys today

  Mace:

  they really are

  Lor:

"DUDE I'm EATING"

  Mace:

  HAHAHAHA

  Lor:

"antiques roadshow surgery" omg Dean

  Mace:

  YAS

  Lor:

SAM WINCHESTER stop trying to make Dean go off his food. poor muffin has three weeks to live

  Mace:

  I’m gonna have to go with Laura on this one, Sam. Maybe lay off a bit.

  Lor:

ooooo, Sammy. now you really know you've been bad

  Mace:

  *SNORK*

  Lor:

gaaaaah the heart monitor in the watch

  Mace:

  right?!

  Lor:

RUFUS

  Lor:

oh Sam

  Mace:

YES

  Mace:

  and yeah

  Lor:

oh no fraught brothers

  Mace:

YEP

  Mace:

  poor sweet stubborn yahoos

  Lor:

RIGHT?

  Lor:

"Sammy, be careful" "you too"

  Lor:

you two numbnuts COULD just say you love each other. the world will not end if you actually say that to your brother

  Lor:

omg his little grin to the security camera

  Mace:

  SNORK YES

  Lor:

"don't ‘look man, me’"

  Lor:

and he immediately switches to sir

  Lor:

adorable

  Mace:

you know, if we were in the bunker, we wouldn’t ever let the fraught get so far. we’d sit them down and not let either of them go off on their own all poutypants

  Mace:

  YES

  Lor:

OMG Rufus's grin when Dean pulls out the scotch

  Lor:

YES

  Mace:

  YES

  Lor:

"because I know things"

  Lor:

I love him

  Mace:

  YES

  Lor:

"ain't you a bucket of sunshine"

  Mace:

  ooof. DEAN.

  Lor:

RIGHT?

  Lor:

(also, serious fuck 327. if someone has been told his whole life he's gonna die awful or turn into a hollow husk of a man, you DON'T HAVE THAT HAPPEN AT THE END)

  Mace:

  (RIGHT?!?!)

  Lor:

he'll do anything once

  Mace:

omg DEAN WINCHESTER

  Mace:

  HAHAHAHA

  Lor:

LOLOL

  Mace:

  SAMMY NO

  Lor:

RIGHT?

  Lor:

Sam, this is where you turn around and get out and come back later with Dean

  Mace:

RIGHT?!

  Mace:

  I can’t believe we have to yell at him about this sort of thing AGAIN

  Lor:

silly Stringbean

  Mace:

  He may need punishing

  Lor:

SNORK

  Lor:

why would anyone want to live forever if all they do is find people to take their parts so they can keep living forever? like, he's not even staying caught up on his reading or anything

  Mace:

  HAHAHAHAHA OMG LOR I WAS JUST THINKING THAT

  Lor:

OMG I LOVE IT

  Mace:

  yas

  Lor:

OMG turning on the light switch with the gun

  Mace:

  YES

  Lor:

also the pinning to t wall

  Mace:

YAAASSSS

  Mace:

  HE’S SO STERN

  Lor:

he IS

  Lor:

oooof he lying

  Lor:

*her

  Mace:

Yep

  Mace:

  i knew what you meant

  Lor:

you good. I know you generally speak Lor gibberish

  Mace:

  HAHAHA

  Lor:

"whaddya mean no?"

  Mace:

OH DEAN

  Mace:

  yeah

  Lor:

oh Sam

  Lor:

oh god eye stuff

  Lor:

behind the sofa

  Mace:

YUP

  Mace:

EWEWEW

  Mace:

  smarty dean

  Lor:

YES

  Lor:

"wakey wakey eggs and bacy" omg

  Mace:

  YAS

  Lor:

I don't get the mechanics of this ep. if he's immortal to the point he can get stabbed and it doesn't matter, why do his organs wear out?

  Mace:

  right

  Lor:

I’m not usually fussed about that kind of handwavey stuff, but this one bugs me for some reason? maybe bc Sam thinks they can save Dean with it?

  Mace:

  yeah

  Lor:

omg the screaming over the black screen

  Mace:

  YES

  Lor:

dang she is cold

  Mace:

yep

  Mace:

  it was so totally Dean’s idea to use the sex dolls

  Lor:

DEFINITELY

  Lor:

dang, Dean's kinda cold here too. not that I think there's anything he could do in three minutes

  Mace:

he kinda is

  Mace:

  i think him being hard on her is him being hard on himself here

  Lor:

ooooo yeah

  Lor:

also he has no idea WHY she killed her parents, so he thinks she's just a greedy person who makes deals to kill family for money

  Lor:

and we all know how that kind of thing would go over with him

  Mace:

yeah

  Mace:

  this is one of the places where his knee-jerk judgement makes him just a little less than perfect

  Lor:

yep

  Lor:

which is part of why he's such a good character

  Mace:

  just a little, though

  Lor:

only a SMIDGE

[npcdeath]

i need to expand my taste in old people shows beyond just antiques roadshow aka the only show i ever watch. i need to get on a columbo kick or something

How ‘VPR’ Producers Convinced Raquel Leviss to Come Clean in Bombshell Final Minutes of the Reunion

Mehera Bonner

The last moments of the Vanderpump Rules reunion were absolutely s-h-o-c-k-i-n-g due to Raquel Leviss sitting down with a producer and coming clean about the extent of her affair with Tom Sandoval. Not only did Raquel reveal that she and Tom had slept together multiple times in Mexico, she said they hooked up while Ariana Madix was out of town for her grandmother’s funeral. 

Watching the footage, it was pretty clear that Raquel wanted to finally tell the truth—despite Tom Sandoval encouraging her not to—and Vanderpump Rules EP Alex Baskin told the Hollywood Reporter how the reveal went down.

“She started talking to the interviewer, our showrunner Jeremiah Smith, and clearly, this was weighing really heavily on her,” he explained. “This was something that she wanted to get off her chest. Something she had to purge. That’s how it all naturally happened, and you see their conversation play out.”

Advertisement - Continue Reading Below

Ultimately, the truth came out when Smith asked her pointed questions: “I think the extent of which she talked about it was a function of her comfort with production and production being so versed in the set of events that happened that they continued to ask her pointed questions that caused her to just completely reveal everything she had been living with.”

Baskin also confirmed that Raquel left the interview not knowing how Tom Sandoval would react: 

“I don’t think she knew where that was headed. I think she did this for herself and felt like she had to do it. And it’s kind of heartbreaking. She says she knew that, obviously, he was going to be really upset, and she said he is kind of all that she had at that point. But I don’t think she felt she had a choice, so her feeling was that she had to get it off her chest, and if that ended up costing her what was going on between them, this was still something she had to do. She just had to unburden herself.”

Tom hasn’t publicly reacted to Raquel’s confession yet, and it’s unclear if they’re still in touch.

Mehera Bonner is a celebrity and entertainment news writer who enjoys Bravo and Antiques Roadshow with equal enthusiasm, She was previously entertainment editor at Marie Claire and has covered pop culture for over a decade.
