because I just finished watching it: your opinion on the BCS ending?

The BCS finale was... fine. It's what the series was building to in terms of the choices that Jimmy and Kim made. I loved the splash of color on Jimmy and Kim's shared cigarette, the final scene of Jimmy and Kim watching each other as she departs from the prison and Jimmy's unreturned finger gun salute (I think that was the end of their relationship, btw).

The rest of it didn't totally land. I think it was better conceptually than it was in execution because the maneuvering between plot points was abrupt. Maybe a niche example but Kim's confession would have been more impactful to me if it had been aimed at Howard's father, rather than his wife. The other 'H' in HHM had been hanging there since the beginning of the series, whereas I don't think Howard's wife was directly mentioned until the final season. And, look, a lot of the energy that I could have been using to feel sad during that scene went into suspending my disbelief that Howard Hamlin is straight.

Obviously a lot of this is personal preference, and in general I'm super hard to please when it comes the endings. It's also been almost a year (wow) since I watched it.

I'm interested to know what you thought of it!

#it's also hard not to compare it with BrBa's ending #which I think is unfair b/c BCS was a more ambitious show than BrBa so it's naturally more difficult to wrap up #jeynepoole #asks #m

(Happy belated birthday @jeynepoole, may this nonsense ode to our Tudor slattern ways be a worthy gift.)

‘The Wenches of Wiltshire’ (20?? - 20??)

“There is a place where he keeps his harem. Where he keeps his women...”

A sizzling look at the Tudor court, sexier and filthier than you’ve ever seen it before. The Tudors will look like a documentary after you witness the show believed to have near-bankrupt the BBC with it’s costuming budget alone. Reviewers are calling Jamie Blackley’s performance “shameless” and “inappropriate for television”. Leading historians of the early 16th century are unanimous in their belief that, despite lacking in some areas of accuracy, ‘The Wenches of Wiltshire’ truly is an icon, a legend, and the moment. Despite this, it will not be renewed for a second season, on account of never having had a first one to begin with.

#The Wenches of Wiltshire #jeynepoole #this is FOOLERY but I hope you enjoy

Favorite ships this year?

ALDFLAED OF COURSE. Also Isildur x Valandil, and honorable mention to Elendil x Míriel (lowkey the Aldflaed of ROP).

Fandom predictions for next year?

...I am realizing I'm not exactly sure what this means but I am taking it to mean predicting my fandom behavior in 2023. I will: add a new blorbo to my rotation, start at least two more ill-advised multi-part AU fics which I may or may not ever share, and spend way too much time on silly low-quality edits...the usual haha.

thoughts on twilight

this has been fermenting in my inbox because i saw it and immediately got into a spirited debate with my best friend over the correct ranking of the twilight films (my answer is: twilight/breaking dawn pt 2/new moon/breaking dawn pt. 1/eclipse. my best friend was trying to argue that new moon is the worst but the soundtrack fucks so supremely it saves it from the slush pile). anyway. being a twilight girl (gn) from approx. grades 5-8 was the great equalizer. it crossed boundaries. you found your most unlikely comrades in the foxholes of the twilight trenches discussing how breaking dawn would end in between subjects. it was like what i imagine model un is like. there were at least two other people in my class aside from myself who got alice's haircut (which i do think is genuinely quite cute but the thing is we were all pudgy-faced 6th graders so it was not the most flattering of haircuts. whoever is responsible for alice's hair in bdpt1 i will hunt you for sport). i would sit on my kitchen floor rereading those damn books like i was possessed and i think eclipse was my favourite but don't quote me. the only two movies i saw in theatres were the og and new moon and the memory of rolling my eyes whenever jacob took his shirt off is burned into my psyche. i continued to be repressed for more than a decade after that but to be fair i was also 12 and catholic. the first movie is a Good Movie both in that there are some solid technical elements and in that it's so funny i'm sorry. in uni my roommates and i watched all the films back to back for the first time and we were so emotionally strung out by the absolute roller coaster of emotions we experienced over the course of 10 hours that we all genuinely started sobbing our goddamn eyes out during the final battle/vision and then cried again when literally every single character is given their due in the credits bc it's just really sweet :'). then my parents stopped by for a visit like half an hour later and we were like hello. we are all normal. also the composers on those films were absolutely STACKED??? carter burwell twilight/breaking dawn both parts alexandre desplat new moon goddamn HOWARD SHORE for ECLIPSE??? howard why did you score the WORST one??? the soundtracks ripped. they had no reason being as good as they were. the last two were shot by gdt collaborator guillermo navarro and it SHOWS they look FANTASTIC. by the last two everything genuinely was camp. i think engaging with twilight in the year 2022 is a bit different than engaging with...y'know bc smeyer isn't actively on twitter like i think all trans people should be forcibly detransitioned and then burned at the stake you guys wanna see how much i can hate minorities but then there is the whole vampirism makes you white & indigenous people are literally animals i'm gonna make billions off a racist misappropriation of your tribe while you get nothing thing. i mean it's a case of Use Your Brain While Critically Engaging With Media but if you've spend actual money on something twilight-related in the past like. three years. why? pirate that shit. at least donate the same amount to the quiluete higher ground fund sidenote did you know that quiluete is one of only a handful of languages that doesn't have nasal vowels? that's neat. billy burke charlie swan performance of a lifetime. seth and leah clearwater best characters.

i got this ask before the mcr twilight show in washington happened and i just have to restate. "i want to watch you turn into a werewolf" on the drum. coming back for the encore in a team edward shirt (WHERE DID IT COME FROM. I DESPERATELY NEED TO KNOW THE PROVENANCE OF THIS PARTICULAR ITEM OF CLOTHING) simping for rpattz in the batman into your song about being asked to write a song for one of the twilight movies and saying Fuck No into the first paragraph of interview with the vampire read into the vocal distorter into your biggest banger also about vampires into the final song of the night and arguably your saddest which is about dying of cancer. thanks for coming to the show glad you enjoyed the double vampire encore now think about your own mortality.

those are my thoughts on twilight :^)

#long post #jeynepoole #answered #this unlocked something in me. as you can tell #fully did not check to see if this is coherent i know it isn't i just sat down and typed until i ran out of things to say #my firefox window rn is just like. tumblr. two job postings. 32 wikipedia entries abt various synagogues. the quiluete language #(i've been looking up various Massive and Beautiful religious buildings since last night i've already done churches & mosques)

35, 39, 40 for the writer ask meme!

35. What’s your favorite writing rule to smash into smithereens?

No kink shame and I adore y’all who can do this, but writing long hand. Tf. I canNOT.

39. What keeps you writing when you feel like giving up?

Until very recently, nothing, as I've been unable to write for some time :/ but obviously, validation. BLESS. bless.

40. Please share a poem with me, I need it.

"How does he love me?"

"With adorations, fertile tears, With groans that thunder love, with sighs of fire....

If I did love you in my master's flame, With such a suffering, such a deadly life, In your denial I would find no sense; I would not understand it.

[I would] Make me a willow cabin at your gate,

And call upon my soul within the house; Write loyal cantons of contemned love And sing them loud even in the dead of night; Halloo your name to the reverberate hills And make the babbling gossip of the air Cry out 'Olivia!' O, You should not rest Between the elements of air and earth, But you should pity me!"

37 and 39!

Thank you for asking! :D You picked 2 very interesting questions!

37. If you were to be remembered only by the words you’ve put on the page, what would future historians think of you?

... that I was a horny bastard 🤣 most of my fics contain sex in some way shape or form, or UST. I also loved poly ships, and had questionable morals. And I only ever did poetic prose. Honestly, I'd be perfectly at peace with all of it!

39. What keeps you writing when you feel like giving up?

See, I don't ever feel like giving up cause writing is not what I do, it's what I am. I'll stop writing only when I'm dead and even then I might not!

In all seriousness, I have taken looong breaks from proyects. What kept me writing then was: 1) I was already publishing on ao3 and had a readerbase that I wanted to keep happy; or 2) it'd been so long since I started it that finishing the damn story was a question of honour/pride. I can be really determined!

#you got me thinking about what assumptions could be made about me from my writing #and OOF #also I can't remember of english spells Proyect with Y or J so please excuse the (potential) typo lmao #jeynepoole

momma's boy

would never say anything about mommy. ever.

overlooked heir to the family empire

close foils with uncle

military service and experience

has been the pilot of war drones resulting in the deaths innocents

traumatic experience resulting in the permanent loss of a limb

said traumatic experience has them in a life long lust for blood and revenge

milf enjoyer (probably due to the clear mommy issues)

Jessica Raine as Jane Rochford OR Jessica Raine as Catherine Parr?

God this is… this truly does give me pause.

I think I HAVE to go for Jessica Raine as Jane Rochford. She’s simply too iconic… “You’re no queen. You’re just a knight’s daughter. And your time has come.” I say this to customers.

The Jessica Raine Tudor Woman Cinematic Universe is SO rich and nuanced

#jeynepoole #I hear Jessica Raine prepared for both roles by actually living in the 16th century for three weeks

12, 13, and 28!

Thank youuu <3

How many WIP’s do you have in your docs for next year?

Wellllll I have The Confidant and The Trouble With Paper Houses yet to finish when it comes to TLK. I also have a multichap in progress for Rings of Power (All This and Heaven Too). And in my Rings of Power wip folder I have no fewer than 18 separate fics ranging from 3 sentences to 3k words (most of which I'm sure I will never post), plus a few more multichap ideas. Yikes!!

What’s your longest work of the year?

Something Wretched, Something Precious clocked in at 92k. I finished that back in February, which feels like several lifetimes ago lol. 

Favorite work you wrote this year?

I will cheat and answer again to say The Other Woman. Midcentury Eadflaed getting revenge together…nobody is doing it like them!!

5 & 19 have already been answered but ooh boy

7. what animal do you look forward to seeing when you visit an aquarium? all of them. every single creature in there is my best friend and i have a wealth of marine animal facts laying low in my subconscious at all times. that being said, PENGUINS. but also i haven't been to an aquarium since having my brain overloaded with eel facts (read the book of eels by patrik svenson) so i think the next time i see an eel i'm going to go cuckoo bananas crazy

#when will there be an eel emoji for me #i like garden eels and wolf eels and moray eels #and sharks. love to see a shark #the georgia aquarium has WHALE SHARKS and MANTA RAYS. someday i will make the sacred pilgrimage #anyway thanks for letting me talk about sea creatures meg #jeynepoole #answered

hi, thank you!! :D

2. Favorite ships this year

answered but can't forgot i didn't mention simon/kieren from in the flesh lkjfdjkfldskjldfsjkdsfljklfsd they are Everything 2 Me, the level of devotion is unhinged! cannot believe dominic mitchell really said alright i'm going to give you tenderly devoted but also unhinged gay zombies. and then he did. magnificent.

13. Favorite villain of the year

also answered (geez you guys know what i want to talk about i guess) but ya know what i'll talk about adar some more. down to the vocal inflections and microexpressions, it's an absolutely masterful performance. rip joe mawle you are the best actor ever maybe. the way adar's questions destabilize the possibility of a simplified black/white morality in the tolkien universe because if the uruk are what he claims them to be then all the good guys suddenly become less good. the way it breaks middle-earth in such a compelling way!!!!! screams forever.

17. Your fictional true love of the year

sym i was a teenage exocolonist coming in clutch 48 HOURS BEFORE 2023. whew. i mean... look at him. he's a mysterious stranger in black, a fungal alien computer who's so in love with you he saves humanity over and over again. he designed his humanoid body for you and saves your life a gazillion times and dies painful deaths for you, repeatedly and without hesitation. he seduces you for the first time while he's dripping goo from his vat, which is honestly kinda sexy ngl. he's queer and poly and a huge flirt and honestly very slutty (affectionate.)

slight spoilers but: in the bad endings where you don't bring peace, he still champions humanity forever and is patient with you when you grow cynical and blame him. in the good endings where you do bring peace, he marries you and you live together in the colony until you die, surrounded by loved ones!!!! he's the only character who gets sol's time loop powers because he also doesn't have a linear concept of time, therefore he's the only one who can really know her. cries. cries. cries.

runners-up are obviously elendil, elrond, adar, miriel, simon monroe, and abner krill. <3
