#and liz is magnificent

[hurremshiv]

I know this is probably very controversial, but I don’t think it matters who the rightful heir is.

#magnificent century #el sultán #muhteşem yüzyıl #i mean personally i'm morally opposed to the concept of monarchy so i'm coming from the position that the throne just shouldn't exist #btw this does also go for the fact that i don't think that a woman on the other side of the world should be our head of state here either #all respect to liz 2 as a person but yeah #is this consistent with the historical figures i stan? no. do i care? absolutely not

[rosepompadour]

She is the only woman I have ever met who turns me on. She feels like the other half of me. - Montgomery Clift She wanted Monty to be the one, but he knew that was impossible. The impossibility of the situation caused the greatest unrequited loves in both of their lives. - Charles Casillo We all got totally soused somewhere on the West Side - and I remember Monty shouting to Liz, "You are the only woman I will ever love,' and Elizabeth slumped in a chair staring at him with those magnificent violet eyes and crooning, "Baby, oh baby,' over and over again. - Ed Foote He was the most gorgeous thing I’d ever seen. My heart stopped when I looked into those green eyes, and that smile, that smile, that roguish, boyish smile. - Elizabeth Taylor

#when this bitch has been married eight times but you only ship her with her best friend 💗 #elizabeth taylor #montgomery clift #this is going in my #real life romances #tag #because you don't have to bang for it to be a romance #monty and bessie mae are proof that soulmates are real

[daincrediblegg]

Look. i’m not saying it would be healthy for either of them. But I think Liz Danvers and Francis Crozier would be the most magnificent drinking buddies.

Magnificently Cursed... the blog post ✨

🕰🍂🕯🌿📔🧣🌙

My writing log says it’s been exactly a year since I started writing Magnificently Cursed, my Dark Academia Inuokko Magic School AU! I find summer to be insufferable (my apologies to the sun) so I took an escape hatch to an early fall last year and immediately fell down this massive rabbit hole. Not only did I write the whole fic and make overly-intricate graphics for each chapter… I also made a ton of other content that I simply didn’t have enough time to post! (Fall is but one season… unless you’re me, and it’s two, because fuck summer) So as a little anniversary gift to me, I’m going back through the archives and finally putting everything in one place. 

Let’s start with the character mood boards, shall we? 

Toge Inumaki: 

I wanted Toge to have an earthy/natural, vintage-y feel, while Yuuta was all sleek and new. I’m still completely obsessed with this library-lizard aesthetic for Toge.

I low-key wound up buying a brown sweater after searching online for literal hours just like the one in the upper left so we could twin. That duffle coat still has my whole heart. Lavender mug inspired by Neara 🥺

Yuuta Okkotsu:

The lil ghostie patch 😭 I still think Yuuta would look hot as hell in all these clothes- especially the speckle-y fisherman sweater. Coat game is strong here as well. 

... so is it obvious that I spend too much time on Canva yet? 😅

The Timeline: 

My outline wasn’t outlining and I resorted to making an in-world calendar to make sure the dates were realistic. Each chapter is a different color, and the lines represent what days the chapters covered in-world. The corresponding stars represented each chapter’s posting dates… except the real life dates didn’t line up with the fictional dates (rude), so those thursdays were actually saturdays? I think? I'm actually not 100% sure what past me was up to here, to be totally honest 😅

(also, politely ignore that bit that says “epilogue - december” 💀i’ll get to it when i get to it. I don’t really like the idea of it being *over* so maybe i'll just gatekeep that bit forever)

⬆️ Example of aforementioned “outlining,” which, yes, is unfortunately littered with as many potential tweets as actual organization 💀

Not pictured: the outline for the first three chapters… when i thought this fic… would only *be* three chapters. 🪦

Writing Log:

I wrote all 92k between July 13th and September 13th (including 60k in August, nanowrimo style)!

Honestly would love to know what her regimen was because i immediately went back to being slow and undisciplined. I don’t foresee this coming august looking anything like this, lol.

Also, sidenote, hilarious that I took a break to work on it would make a whole in the middle of this? Because I literally just finished that piece this week and posted it today 😅

The Playlist:

Spotify proving that July 13th commitment! If you start a wip without procrastinating and making a playlist for two hours first... did you really start a new wip?

The playlist was three and a half hours and i would listen to it nearly every day, sometimes multiple times in a day 💀. Listen during a rainstorm for peak vibes.

(other favs not pictured: The Butterflly Effect’s cover of “Lay All Your Love on Me,” Sabrina Carpenter’s “Decode,” Liz Longley’s “Rescue My Heart,” and "Nothing's Gonna Happen" by The Staves) 

Bonus:

(fall baking... toge's fav pumpkin muffins of course)

(my toge sweater knockoff)

(editing buddy... clearly working very hard)

(cider donut cider... for the ✨vibes✨)

(obsessively drinking massive pots of harney and son’s victorian london fog tea as i tried to interpret my own bullshit)

(me celebrating actual halloween like i didn't start in july)

.... ANYWAY (if you made it this far 😅) many thanks to anyone who read/kudos/commented/supported this fic, because (if you can't tell already) i had so much fun writing it.

Currently, working on another longfic rn that's also promising to destroy my life... but you never forget your first 😘

No one on "GLOW" was even remotely kidding around when it came to Ruth and Debbie, huh?

Alison Brie calling them the "central will they, won't they" of the series.

Calling their season 3 relationship an "affair."

"Any heightened romantic moments between them are my dream!"

"[The new romance for Ruth] made me very uncomfortable, and I think I was just very protective of the Ruth and Debbie relationship."

"In season 1, the love story was Ruth and Debbie."

Liz Flahive and Carly consider Ruth/Debbie the "will they, won't they" of their series. Also, like Alison Brie they called Ruth and Debbie's relationship the "affair of season 3."

Betty Gilpin saying that Ruth is the love of Debbie's life.

Ruth should find it in her heart to accept Debbie's proposal.

BG: The moment that Debbie sees Ruth get on that plane, she's like, "Oh, the most magnificent thing I did with my life is loving her. And I didn't know that until it was over."

Also BG:

"Couple's therapy."

“I think that Ruth and Debbie's friendship ran deeper than Debbie’s marriage did.”

(x)

Victor Quinaz (the coproducer/actor who portrayed Russell Barroso and wrote an episode):

#debbie x ruth #ruth x debbie #glow #betty gilpin #alison brie #victor quinaz #and this is only scratching the surface of their interviews #and then you have so many professional critics/reviewers calling them the 'romance of the series' like yes validation #I do think sometimes fans read too much into scenes/interactions etc. bc of wishful thinking but this is a 'no smoke without fire' case #the romantic undertones WERE there and the creators WERE aware of them #(no I'm not implying they did this maliciously)

New interview with the director and writer of Wilderness!

"We had all six scripts written, which was really important because it's so twisty-turny, so it felt important to have the architecture quite early on, before we approached cast. "And Liz [executive producer Elizabeth Kilgarriff] had worked with her before on The Cry, and so it just felt like a really natural place to go to. So we did. "And then we had separate conversations, I had a conversation with her. She's so thoughtful and intelligent about her craft and the character."

"And then we had a wonderful Zoom talking about the character and what we were looking to do. And she was spot on as far as her interpretation of her journey, Liv’s journey. "Then we started to work together and she was so incredible. I don't think I knew exactly the range of her talent until we started shooting, because we block shot six episodes together, so there were days when we cover four to five episodes within a day of shooting. "And she would be so spot on with each scene, and she gave so much care and of herself into it. It was just masterful, there's no other word for her work. And, of course, there's Oliver [Jackson-Cohen, co-star] to balance her out. Watching them work together on and off set was a real treat for me."

Jenna can't give inteviews at the moment because of the strike, so we might instead get more interviews like this.

I completely agree with what they say, Jenna Coleman is magnificent in Wilderness!

Tira Yugen's new blog is here: home of The Rather Magnificent Family Bubble comics

Hello! Okay, this is my new (in 2023) Tumblr blog, after I moved away from the Blogspot/Blogger account (I got locked out, I can't even update that blog with a signpost here, so it's gonna rot ...) - and sssoooooo ... to help search results and bring people here to my new blog at tumblr.com/tirayugen, here is a keyword-rich post!

Tira Yugen tirayugen comics, free comic, art CGI family comic strip free. Family aunt nephew brosis brother sister daughter dad mom mum mother uncle son niece ... I mean why not eh? Families, tsssk. Is it incest? Surely not! Wincest, surely, no, no, none of that dirty smut! Yes indeed. Nope, no wouldn't dream of it.

I hear what you're saying, and what you're saying is this is a rather magnificent ... nay it is THE Rather Magnificent Family Bubble comic! Hooray! Special Edition The Deliciously Awkward Family Bubble as well, why not. Join Anna Smit and Kal Smit as they learn about life and love during lockdown covid pandemic in Anna's London flat.

Tira Yugen

[purplesigebert]

Hello! This is your autumn exchange gifter! So, I've been thinking about your request and am very excited. I've never tried to think of a different meeting or how canon would change if Caroline hadn't been in Mystic Falls at all, so it's been a fun thought experiment.

First, do you have any other characters you especially love or hate? Do you have any hard pass themes or content I should stay away from? Any bits from the shows you'd especially like me to try to fold in or ignore completely?

Second, are you married to the exact scenario you laid out in your request? I do have a very vague alternate idea for Caroline as a vampire hunter, but it's a little weird and definitely in its infant stages. But I also have some thoughts about Bill (possibly with Steven and his daughter) being the one to stay in MF as sheriff and the reasons why Liz and Caroline would have had to go.

Third, if you had to choose a setting, would you prefer MF or New Orleans or Salem, MA or somewhere else entirely? New Orleans would end up including some of the same characters as The Originals, but I probably wouldn't write the baby plot in, unless you really want it there. Salem would end up being more spooky season themed and MF would probably be more of a family thing involving Bill's death.

Fourth, do you still want Caroline to be a vampire? I don't usually write her as a normal human, because I'm here for the supernatural stuff, but I can give it a shot if you're interested in that. There's the hunter thing, but do you have objections to her being a witch instead? Some other kind of supernatural creature? It's not what I'm leaning towards, but if that's something you would enjoy, I won't try to keep it strictly vampire Caroline if I think of something else.

Fifth, what level of Klaus do you like? S2 magnificent bastard Klaus or S3/4 slightly relaxed Klaus or TO unhinged mess Klaus?

This is a lot of questions. Please feel free to take your time and/or not answer all of them! Totally valid to not have strong feelings about any of this.

Omg hi! First off, thank you so much for writing this note to me! I'm speechless!! So, to answer in order:

First, I'm not a fan of Damon - if S1's events happened as canon. If not then I'm a fan. Stefan is great. I love love Katherine and Bonnie. Elena was great in her S1-S3 characterization. I don't have any problems with anyone else. Not a fan of the miracle babies storylines.

Second, I'm not completely fixed on my request. I've never considered a MF where Bill was Sherriff, how would that change canon? Damon and Bill already didn't get along and they were in the same room maybe two times? I don't see Bill changing his whole worldview the way that Liz did. If Liz and Caroline left MF, where would they end up?

Third, Oh this is tough one, Caroline coming back to MF for Bill's funeral is one of my fav stories to read! How old is she? Is it still canon time-line and have the S3 storylines been happening? I'll leave that up to you!

Fourth, I don't tend to read Caroline as any other creature (a few where she is a werewolf/hybrid but those are outliers), so Vampire!Caroline is good to go! I'm not too pick, if we see her turn in the story or not.

Fifth, S2/beginning of S3 is peak Klaus, he's just a little shit and he knows it lol.

Sixth, YOU ARE AWESOME! Seriously thank you so much for sending me this. You rock.

Three songs ask: 5, 11, 21!

WHEEEEEEE okay here goes

5. three songs you wish you could forget (because listening to them hurts)

huh. well generally I'm a wallower so this doesn't really apply? I'll just go with songs that make me cry I guess.

this is what I listened to a lot when my dog Henry died.

this one makes me cry as soon as I think about it cause Two Socks =(

when Nick and I had this huge fight years ago (it was the closest we ever got to breaking up), I remember driving in the car and sobbing to this song.

11. three favorite songs from movie or TV soundtracks

AAAHHHHH CHOOSING ONLY THREE IS IMPOSSIBLE! ok here goooeessses.

gotta start with the goat. this song gives me goosebumps every time I hear it!! tbh I could have all 3 songs be from LOTR but we'll stick with just the 1 haha.

next the ending song from one of my other favorite soundtracks and movies. her voice just makes me so emotional.

this track was legit the number 1 played song in my itunes library for a longgggg timmme. bbeeauuttiiffullllll.

21. three songs of your childhood

fun!! honestly my childhood was chock full of a lot of music, which probably explains why I still like such a wide variety of stuff.

we'll start with a song from one of my favorite movies (childhood yes but also just in general). see everyone raves about robin williams in aladdin but batty was always what I thought of first.

next one of the earliest musicals I remember listening to (on cassette!!) I was 6. og broadway cast recording OF COURSE.

we had this concert on VHS and we would watch it on REPEAT. so gooooodddddd. the violin battle is epic!!!! Yanni's hair and mustache are magnificent, the 90s fashions are on point and there's even a bongo drum guy. what more could you ask for lollll.

Send me a number from this list and I'll give you three of my favorite songs that fit the category

#piratefalls #kate replies #ask games #music #this was so much fun friend thank thank you for sending me numbers #<3 #looking at this this I realize it's all soundtracks classical and...abba #lmaaooo

New thread for Davison!Doctor:

Serial: Castrovalva - Everyone is wonderful. I love Davison!Doctor so much and I love his affecting the mannerisms of the earlier Doctors. He has Hartnell!Doctor's annoying little laugh down.

Serial: Four to Doomsday - An enjoyable story and very diverse for a change. I hope the androids found a nice home.

Serial: Kinda - Weird but interesting. I love Tegan so much. I'm glad we got to keep Nyssa too.

Serial: The Visitation - The androids are very sparkly. Nyssa is clearly the Doctor's favourite because she does as she's told or tries to help in practical ways. Tegan is reaching Sarah Jane levels of brainwashing, poor thing.

Serial: Black Orchid - Love Davison!Doctor wanting to be train driver and getting to play cricket. Also Tegan being a cricket fan. Two Nyssas and Tegan dressed as a flower fairy. I love this one.

Serial: Earthshock - Oh we're back in our favourite filming location - a quarry. Brave heart, Tegan. <3 The Cybermen are hilarious this serial. The ending was very sad. Poor Adric. I didn't hate you like I used to.

Serial: Time-Flight - The Master is back in another terrible disguise. The Doctor has to be pretending that he doesn't recognise him at this point. An enjoyable story with a cliffhanger ending (sort of).

Serial: Arc of Infinity - Nyssa is a badass this serial and I love her even more because of it. More Gallifreyan shennanigans so obviously a fave. Colin Baker making his first appearance. And a Leela mention!

Serial: Snakedance - Martin Clunes wins this story - genuinely the best I've ever seen him. I like Nyssa's new clothes and the Doctor not giving a damn about them. I want to hug Tegan.

Serial: Mawdryn Undead - Turlough, my love, you are such a little shit. The Brig is back! I love this story so much. Different timelines, two Brigadiers, baby Tegan and Nyssa, Turlough the snarky space twink. No notes.

(Actually, one note: Why is there not more 5/Turlough fic?)

Serial: Terminus - Quite a slow one and not one of the best. I'm sad to see Nyssa go though. I will miss her.

Serial: Enlightenment - One of my all time favorite stories. Everyone is wonderful. Tegan in her beautiful dress <3 PIrates. "Your companion is a beautiful woman" / "Is she?". Turlough being a sad puppy but a very good boy.

Serial: The King's Demons - The Master in another "disguise". Tegan in a magnificent coat. Aww The Doctor and The Master are having another swordfight. Just kiss you idiots!

Special: The Five Doctors - This is the story I have watched the most in my life and I love it. I love all the Doctors meeting and the companions meeting - Five meeting Susan again - and the phantoms of Mike, Liz, Jamie and Zoe. The Master being excellent. Tegan getting to spend time with the grumpiest Doctor of them all. Turlough doing his art. The Brig getting to punch the Master. Dinah Sheridan. Rassilon. Borusa getting his (creepy af) comeuppance. The Doctor becoming President. <3

Serial: Warriors of the Deep - Davison!Doctor is all wet (be still my heart). Turlough jumps to the worst conclusions even quicker than I do. What's the point of having TARDIS keys if you never use them? Turlough being a badass there. The production isn't great but the story is a good one.

Serial: The Awakening - The crack in the wall looks suspiciously like the crack in Amy's wall. Tegan has another pretty(ish) dress but is going to be burnt at the stake/maypole. This is bonkers but lots of fun.

Serial: Frontios - Another good one. Giant woodlice. Turlough defending the Doctor with a hatstand. Actually poor Turlough really goes through it in this serial bless him. Kudos to Tegan for running around all those tunnels in her heels.

Serial: Resurrection of the Daleks - So much death! Really this is just 90 minutes of people dying. I'm so sad my darling Tegan has gone. That ending made me cry.

Serial: Planet of Fire - Turlough and Five are on honeymoon. Thank you to whoever put Mark in those shorts and Nicola in that whole outfit. I am an easily pleased bisexual. The Master is here looking quite dapper and not in a stupid disguise for a change. And Turlough is leaving too - now I'm crying again.

Serial: The Caves of Androzani - An excellent send off for my fave. Great story, great performances. The Doctor being a big damn hero. And then seeing all the companions again when he regenerated. So good.

Davison!Doctor Era Round-up

Favourite Companion: Tegan Jovanka - my love.

Least favourite Companion: Kamelion - kind of pointless.

Favourite Serial: Enlightenment / The Five Doctors

Least Favourite Serial: Terminus

Davison!Doctor is MY Doctor. He projects the weariness of age despite being (so far) the youngest Doctor. He's smiley and kind but at the same time, serious and determined. I love him.

some r/v au things kicking around in the brain (or in my art lmao)

V has a new wedding dress made that is heavily inspired by, though not an exact replica of, Josette’s dress, taking a mix of regency style and late 1960s/early 1970's (which are already in partnership in fashion). she borrows Naomi Collins' wedding veil, and Liz gives her a string of pearls that first belonged to Annabella Collins –– a symbol of the Collins prosperity born of the sea.

Wedding flowers: blue delphinium (dignity and grace, youth, new life, remembrance), calla lilies (magnificent beauty, rebirth or resurrection, the goddess Hera), lily of the valley (return to happiness: "The naiad-like lily of the vale. Whom youth makes so fair, and passion so pale" ) and blue jasmine (amiability, loyalty, integrity, trust, "On the blue flower which, Brahmins say. Blooms nowhere but in Paradise.")

" The jasmine, with which the queen of flowers, To charm her god, adorns his favourite bowers Which brides, by the plain hand of neatness drest, – Unenvied rival! – wear upon the breast; Sweet as the incense of the mom, and chaste As the pure zone which circles Dian's waist."

They're married out on the terrace but, predictably, rain interrupts them, and they have to rush inside to the drawing room to finish the ceremony. Roger cheats and carries her over the threshold before they're officially married.

They fly to France for their honeymoon, staying on the beaches of Biarritz in the Hôtel du Palais. They make several excursions to sightsee in the rest of the country, including a few days in Paris to see the Louvre and the Palais Garnier. V returns home with several paintings to add to Collinwood's collection, and Roger with several bottles of wine. Vicki also picks out an André Courrèges for Maggie, an Yves Saint Laurent for Carolyn and a Givenchy for Liz. for David, a lapel pin with a guillotine motif inspired by 1790s designs.

Rog's proposal is very Maxim-esque. It happens outside on the cliffs, not at breakfast itself, but right after. Since David is old enough to go to Real School, he no longer needs a tutor and governess, but Roger assures her she's still needed at Collinwood and she can stay on with him. ("Do you mean you want a secretary or something?" "No, I'm asking you to marry me, you little fool.")

They're generally supported (especially by Julia) when they announce the engagement, and Carolyn is delighted to have her as an official member of the family (though it takes some getting used to thinking of her as an aunt). Liz is highly skeptical and would try to talk Roger into calling it off; Vicki has to work hard to convince her that’s what she wants. the plus side is that he’d never do anything to hurt V because if he did Liz would flay him alive. not one single foot out of line.

Maggie would also be on Liz’s side, certain at first that the power disparity favors Roger and his happiness, but Vicki would eventually bring her around. Maggie, along with Willie and Joe, is probably one of the few who realizes or cares what it means for Vicki socially/economically to rise through the ranks and marry into the Collins money/power. most of them would view it as marrying Roger, but V’s fellow working class characters see it as marrying into the family, and Roger comes second.

The engagement lasts a while for legal reasons, though not for lack of Rog's trying to hurry their lawyers, since neither of their spouses can be served divorce papers (being yoinked back to the eighteenth century or being transformed into a vampire as your alternate identity don't count for much in court). they're able to get annulments on the basis of mental incapacity –– r.e. Rog's mental state when he married Cass, and the speed –– and fraud –– vis a vis Jeff's real identity. it's not pleasant, and involves lots of testifying about adultery in the courtyard, which leads to their first real fight.

Though he buys her a few things in France, his big wedding present is a car of her own to live in the Collins garage: a Triumph TR6 in Royal Blue with tan interior. Carolyn is allowed to drive it; Roger is not.

#i would just write a fic if i could commit to a longform writing project lmao. for now... headcanons be upon ye #arc: collinwood will always mean home to me. #pain sometimes precedes pleasure，miss winters. ( victoria & roger )

Reinventing The Wheel (Again) - A Review of Jon Pertwee's Doctor Who Run (1969-1974)

In 1969, a few gaps were left from the premier of Spearhead in Space and The War Games that were pushed politely with supplementary Troughton Who material where The Doctor had further adventures in attempt of escaping his eventual regeneration into his third incarnation, but when Jon Pertwee was announced as the Doctor and even more so that Doctor Who was making its way to color television (despite many having seen the good majority of his first outing in Black & White as color television was still considered a luxury by 1969-1970). A new breath of fresh air was injected into Doctor Who, changing the formula once more from Troughton's Sci-Fi heavy adventures and base under sieges to more adventure/spy-esque dramas in veins similar to James Bond. The almost eccentric Jon Pertwee known for his almost comedic tones was now becoming the action hero of television for many children. So . . . . . What made this era so good? Simple: It felt so refreshing and new. When put onto the stance of Doctor Who at the time, The Doctor wasn't quite the most athletic or involved type and rather was this more brains type who would only occasionally put his hands into stopping conflict rather than holding a saber and combatting the MOTW. Jon Pertwee's Doctor however ran about, pranced, got his hands dirty while also being the studious type of that educated while also being as witty as ever in his remarks of those who were pushing buttons. Paired into his exile came with Bessie, a yellow car that proved just as trustworthy as any old police box could. Transporting the Doctor to one location to another, and of course there was the off-chance the Doctor may use a helicopter or a boat (the boat in particular was an infamously popular stunt, and a personal favorite of mine) and on top of all this we had such diverse sets of stories and monsters that never felt as if they bled into one another like at times many Who MOTWs tend to become at times. From the Autons to the Apatosaurus (yes, literally) there was something so unique to every creature to appear in his era. And while not every serial was up to snuff and didn't have the budgets to truly commit to the bigger ideas, it pulled through in magnificent graces that only Doctor Who could really pull off. I also feel that the Doctor truly has his best in this era, while I do love the previous Doctors and I adore the ones after; I feel as if Pertwee gives this almost touch to the Doctor that no one really captured until maybe Capaldi. A great balance of this action hero with that reserved, well spoken professor of his previous, exactly the kind of thing you want out of The Doctor. Now what would the show be without the cast? Now, without a doubt I'd say Pertwee had the best lineup of companions of Classic Who. From Liz Shaw to Sarah Jane, or Sergeant Benton and Lesbridge Stewart it seemed we had it all for characters that were equally charming as they were almost scene stealers from the titular character themself. And who can forget that of Roger Delgado as The Master? While later eras may feel like the threat of The Master became less so and his stories lesser, here he feels so RIGHT and downright malevolent. Still, he does show that he is not without shreds of recognition of greater evils when he stands alongside The Doctor (even if he finds himself motivated rather pettily so). I'd say the best stories are Spearhead from Space, The Daemons, Colony in Space, Inferno, The Mind of Evil, & The Silurians. All really showcase the strengths of the era rather splendidly to me, while in some ways showcasing its flaws. Packed with that classic Pertwee action, drama, and science fiction that never really feels too out of the ordinary for Doctor Who.
