Did you purposely kill her?

[zeph81obsessed]

I wish I made posts about this BEFORE when it was in the works, but I was lowkey stressing. 🤩

I flew to London, England, to watch Nye by Tim Price at the National Theatre, with Michael Sheen.

It was amazing.

It had me laughing and crying with wonderful cast and crew.

I was hoping to meet Sheen after the show and give him a gift, but unfortunately, I was unable to.

The staff/security said it would be safe to leave it on the counter.

I really hope he got it, but I haven't heard/seen anything.

I'm just hoping it didn't get lost or stolen 😭

I emailed the theatre but haven't heard anything n I don't wanna be a pest.

So maybe if you see this n see Nye, could you ask staff or Sheen?

Wyrd Sisters Abroad

For this year's inktober I'm reimagining the three Lancre coven members, from Sir Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels, as modern day witches (and sending them on a trip to America).

So let me introduce you to:

Gytha "Nanny" Ogg (canon version)

Gytha is the optimist of the coven. She has buried three husbands (and that’s just the official count), she has fifteen children, innumerable grandchildren, an evil cat named Greebo, and only one tooth. She likes smoking her pipe, eating, drinking, playing her banjo while taking her bath, and singing (mostly “the Hedgehog Song” and “A Wizard’s Staff has a Knob on the End”). She always checks under her bed before going to sleep in the hope that there might be a man hiding under it (you never know…).

And:

the reimagined Gytha "Nanny" Ogg

Don't let her pink velour tracksuit fool you; she’s not one of the working out types of octogenarians (in fact she doesn’t do anything tiring if she can help it) - but she does like to be comfy (and maybe a little bit sexy - though she probably wouldn’t admit that). Her sneakers were chosen by one of her many grandchildren and “they’re red because Nana likes red and they have stars on them because Nana is MAGIC!”. Her witch’s hat has a red ribbon on it because she does indeed like red. Not pictured is her foul-tempered, evil-smelling, one-eyed cat Greebo whom, despite all evidence to the contrary, Nanny considers to be a sweet, harmless kitten.

Esmerelda (Esme) "Granny" Weatherwax (canon left, reimagined right)

Esme is the most intimidating of the coven. She is very confident in her abilities. When she says that something is impossible she usually means “for anyone except herself”. Accordingly she is not a good loser (she hasn’t had much practice); from her point of view, losing is something that happens to other people. She’s never scared of walking through a dark forest because she knows that the most terrifying thing in it is herself. Her implicit belief that everything should get out of her way extends to other witches, very tall trees and, on occasion, mountains. Despite being an extremely powerful witch, she prefers to use headology instead of actual magic whenever possible; she is a firm believer in giving people what they need, not what they want. She is Good and she is Right, but she's not Nice. She is feared and respected, but generally not liked.

In canon she is the most "traditionally" dressed of the three Lancre witches: all black, simple dress, sturdy boots, tall witch's hat fastened to her tight bun with hatpins, and the occasional vest. Her goal is to look as much of a witch (and as intimidating) as possible.

In the reimagined version she is still dressed in all black but I opted for a different kind of intimidating-older-woman style: the ageing punk rock virgin with the evil stare.

And last but not least:

Magrat Garlick (canon version)

Magrat's name is an accident; her mother wanted to name her Margaret, but didn't know how to spell it. She is the youngest member of the Lancre coven, and the least confident in her magical abilities (probably the reason why she rarely wears her witch’s hat - instead she prefers to wear glamorous green dresses that would suit more curvy figures than hers, and slightly wilted flower crowns on her unruly hair). She also has a huge collection of occult jewellery, is a vegetarian, and believes in folk songs and the Cycles of Nature. She is the most bookish of the three witches and an excellent herbalist - something even Granny Weatherwax (who usually calls her a “wet hen”) reluctantly admits. In “Witches Abroad” she inherits a Fairy Godmother wand, but is unable to master it; the only effect she is able to produce with it is turning things into pumpkins.

And:

the reimagined Magrat Garlick

As a vegetarian on a quest to save Mother Earth, she wears clothes made of natural fibers, vegan sandals, and reusable tote bags. She’s also wearing a witch’s hat (purely because I couldn’t resist the aesthetic appeal), but it’s dark green instead of the traditional black and the shortest one of the group. She still has a soft spot for crystals and magical jewellery though. She wears an ankle bracelet with tiny bells on it (she finds the soft tinkling weirdly soothing).

Not pictured here: The bit where Combeferre literally sings a little victory song after everyone but Enjolras and an extremely schooled Marius depart from the café. (Les Misérables, Volume 3, Book 4, Chapter 5)

Day 26 at sea, and both the boat boys are looking a bit wild now, so I'm writing a homoerotic haircut.

unpopular opinion: Vimes is kind of drama queen

[zeph81obsessed]

I can't believe I'm invested in Sanctuary Moon. Fuck this GrayCris stuff, does the Nav Bot kill Sklanch? Does the whole crew die? Is Captain Hossein really dead? Did Kullervv (sp?) arrange all this so he could be captain? Is he in league with Bookkeeper Bittenmark??? Murderbot is so right, this is a premium quality show, I'd like all 19 seasons please

The thing is that I would absolutely play a video game about a young witch trying to solve the disappearance of her neighbour’s cat in a small village in the mountains if — and this is extremely important — it was a Discworld point and click adventure game and the cat was Greebo and the process of searching for him unearthed a secret invasion of some kind of malevolent supernatural force in the Ramtops.

Combeferre saw Marius crash out, destroyed him with two words, walked out with everyone following him and dropped some sick tunes on the way. Absolute icon.

I forgot that Georges left Marius a note talking about Thenardier so this quote punched me in the face

"Besides his father’s name, another name was graven in Marius’ heart, the name of Thénardier."

[zeph81obsessed]

the thing is I do kind of think if cosette had actually been able to express/was able to articulate to jvj what & how strongly she felt for marius & that she wanted to see him again I do think jvj would have done his best to allow that to happen (even if he was miserable about it) — see his behaviour after he sees cosette's letter/reads marius letter, everything he does to make sure they're able to see each other & then get married, and his motivations for leaving the convent (to allow cosette to live her own life as her own person even if that means eventually being 'separated' from her) — but unfortunately (not her fault) she was raised by the most secretive & dysfunctional & repressed man alive so like. that doesn't even occur to her or seem like a possibility. and then jvj through his own inexperience doesn't perceive that cosette is actually really interested in marius (there are several scenes of his misunderstanding this) & so just thinks marius a creep his daughter is not even aware of. and like this is not to say that there is not pettiness & selfishness & misery around this on his part in his own thoughts (there obviously is) but just that we see do see him overcome this to do what's good for cosette as a person & what will make her happy at several points in the story, and also that I don't think he would have separated them intentionally if he knew their real feelings
