Every Episode of Timeless ⤷ 1x08 “Space Race”

Trust me, you do not want to drink the cup of coffee I would bring you after grabbing me like that. And by the way, my name is not "Doll," or "Sweetheart," or anything else that sounds like a baby. The women here have actual names. I'm sure you can learn their names. It's not that hard. Kinda like making coffee for yourself. You're a rocket scientist—figure it out.

My mom's takes on a crown of candy (we're only at the cathedral fight ep)

my mom hates brennan, she's convinced he's specifically out to get lou & zac specifically

she loves jet & emily but she doesn't like how absolutely thirsty she is lol

the bulb's nature upsets her deeply it absolutely pisses her tf off

siobhan is cute

she HATES brennan

in extreme stress over lapin & amethar

she's not impressed by peppermint Preston because she's not a fan of animals

AU Thursday: Mega Gender/Sexuality Headcanon Post

Because it’s Pride Month, and because I just did a post on all the various ships I have featuring Victor, Alice, and their friends/potential partners. Time to bring everyone up to date on my various headcanons regarding their genders and sexualities! To make things a little easier on myself, I’m using the names that they would have in the Running Headlong Into The Bullshit mega-poly ship (that is, the Modern AU one where the first nine people here are all in one big relationship tangle together), but you can assume that these headcanons also apply to other versions of them from other verses (e.g., the headcanon for Christopher White also applies to Sir Christopher Lloyd in “Secundus”).

Here we go:

Victor Van Dort: Cis male, Biromantic Bisexual (leans toward women partners)

Victor used to be my token straight person, but then I started realizing that I could picture him easily being in a relationship with the right sort of man (or nonbinary person, see below), and things evolved from there. He does still tend to lean toward women partners, and that preference is why he identifies more as “bi” than “pan,” but he is attracted to multiple genders!

Alice Liddell: Cis female, Demipanromantic Greyasexual

Otherwise known as “the complicated one.” XD This is largely because I’d already established her as willing to have sex with Victor to the point of having biological children by the time I found the “Ace Alice” headcanons and decided I rather liked them (also, noticed a lot of what they said about asexuality fit me. . .) Having played around with her character a bit more over the course of my stories, both public and not, I have come to the conclusions that a) she doesn’t really have any gender preferences, but she does need a strong emotional bond with someone to start seeing them as a romantic interest; b) she is generally uninterested in sex (if neutral toward its existence, despite her traumas) but has a few specific circumstances that can get her motor, if not running full speed, at least puttering. (These circumstances are invariably very specifically kinky because I know what I like when it comes to those sort of stories. There is a reason that I would call any specifically NSFW writing handle “Alice Dommes Victor” or similar!)

Victoria Everglot: Cis female, Biromantic Bisexual

By contrast, Victoria’s easy -- she’s basically a “perfect” bisexual, with a roughly equal attraction toward her own and other genders. There might be a tiny lean toward men as partners, but I suspect that shows up more in Victorian-era Victorias than modern ones.

Emily Cartwell-Merrimack: Cis female, Biromantic Lesbian

I don’t recall exactly when I decided it would be interesting for Emily to be romantically but not sexually attracted to men, but it must have been around the time I discovered that romantic attraction and sexual attraction didn’t NECESSARILY have to match. But yeah, as it turns out, I picture Emily as someone who is happy to be romantic with multiple genders, but is exclusively attracted to her own when it comes to sex. Victorian-era Emilys either don’t realize they don’t have a “proper” attraction to men or figure everything will work out once they get married to their One True Male Love; more modern ones come to grips with their sexuality earlier and happily embrace their “three-quarters lesbian” nature. :p

Christopher White: Cis male, Biromantic Bisexual

Another fairly simple one -- the Christophers were initially conceived of as straight, like Victor, but I embraced the bi when I updated the character for the Cuddlepile poly pairing. Like Victoria, they have roughly equal attraction to a variety of genders, with maybe a slight lean toward women.

Richard Hatter: Agender (amab) with “xe/xim” pronouns; Panromantic Asexual (no gender preference, no interest in sex)

Another one where things got interesting -- learning about different sexualities also involved learning about different gender identities, and I was already familiar with neo-pronouns through earlier RP on LiveJournal, so I figured I could make one of the original Cuddlepile have a different gender identity than “cis.” Richard felt like a good choice, as I can’t see even Hatter in the games having an especially strong connection to the concept of being male. So yeah, Richard is like “Gender? Nah” -- though obviously only the modern versions use the “xe/xim” pronouns -- the Victorian-era “Richard Dodgson” from “Secundus” just goes with “he/him” because that’s what he’s used to by this point (and because I wrote that version, again, before learning about all this). I think I had xim as just bi all the way before, but panromantic feels more right to me the more I think about it -- and I’ve also NEVER been able to imagine xim having sex (I’m not sure some of the more robotic ones even have the capability anymore), so yeah -- asexual it is!

Preston Garvey: Cis male, Biromantic Bisexual

Back to fairly simple for good old Preston -- he’s a romanceable companion in FO4, and you can flirt with him no matter your character’s gender, so -- basically he’s CANONICALLY bi! Doesn’t get easier than that!

Piper Wright: Cis female, Biromantic Bisexual (leans toward women partners)

Piper is slightly more complicated -- like Preston, she’s a romanceable companion in FO4 regardless of player gender, so canonically bi. But she ALSO has a reasonably well-known moment where she accidentally flirts with Magnolia and gets flustered if you take her to The Third Rail and then talk to Magnolia after her set. I’ve decided this is good enough for me to push her toward generally favoring women partners, though she likes guys too if they hit the right buttons (which my Sole Survivor Victor does -- as does Preston!).

Smiler Alton: Nonbinary (amab) with “they/them” pronouns; Panromantic Pansexual

This one proved to be easy after I devoured as much information on The Smiler roller coaster as I could on tumblr -- the moment I discovered the coaster and its theming shares the colors of the nonbinary flag, I knew my Smiler had to be nonbinary too. And given The Smiler’s thing is spreading joy and happiness to all, pan felt like the right label for their romantic and sexual attractions -- why would someone like that have a gender preference? (Which is very much reflected in my Sim Smiler Always and their Wonderful Whims attractions. XD) Smiler loves who they love, and they’re very happy that way.

Lizzie Liddell: Cis female, Demibiromantic demibisexual (sex-repulsed after trauma)

Lizzie, by contrast, proved to be difficult simply because -- well. The big character beat of her life in the Alice games is what Bumby did to her. Looking at how I wrote her in “In The Land Of The Dead” and “The Technicolor Phase” and thinking about the kind of person I picture her as, I have decided that, like her sister, she’s capable of being attracted to multiple genders, but she needs to form a strong bond with the person first. However, her experience with Bumby left her heavily sex-repulsed, so she’s unlikely to actually want to have sex with anyone. (Not that she can in the stories I’ve written for her so far, but yeah.)

Jeremy Samuel “Bonejangles” Thatcher: Cis male, Hetero-romantic Heterosexual

. . .I have decided we do need a token straight and BJ strikes me as such. XD He likes the ladies and that’s that. (Well, so far he likes Lizzie and that’s that, but I implied an at least sexual history with other women in “In The Land Of The Dead.”)

Film Premise Challenge: One Director, Two Actors, One Genre - Entry Ten.

This will be a semi-regular series, where someone has to nominate a Director, minimum of two Actors, and a Genre, preferably ones who have not worked together before. I will then come up with a premise / story based on those parameters. Some of these may be more detailed than others, but overall, it’s mainly a bit of fun. If anybody would like to submit an idea, then please do!

Entry Ten, the director nominated is…Denis Villeneuve. The nominated actors, of which there were two, are…Bryan Cranston, and Emily Blunt. The chosen genre is…Thriller.

The film starts with a de-aged Brian Cranston taking his young 10 year old daughter to a theatre show, where his daughter goes to the toilet halfway through. After a while, Cranston goes looking for her, & calls the police in a panic, the police investigate & find evidence that Cranston's daughter had been taken. This leads to Cranston doing press conferences begging for his daughter back, & begins to become obsessed with finding out who took her, blamed by his wife who leaves him afterwards.

Meanwhile, we cut to Emily Blunt locked away in a hidden room. An older gentleman appears & introduces a young girl to Blunt, telling her "she's your new daughter". Blunt is suicidal & depressive at her captor, but becomes protective of this young girl from the predator.  We cut between Blunt protecting the girl & formulating a escape plan against her rapist, whilst we see Cranston lose his wife & job. At one point, he desperately intrudes on a crime scene of a young murdered girl, only to find it isn't his daughter, killing his hope.

But after a very tense & terrifying escape attempt by Blunt, she accidentally kills her captor by sending him down a flight of stairs, discovering an unsuspecting & traumatised captor's family. Blunt & the girl escape & are found by police & taken to their headquarters, the police call any living relatives, including to Cranston. When the families arrive, we see the young girl & Blunt escorted down hallways, with Blunt taken into a room, when an old Cranston is waiting. The two breakdown to flashbacks, reuniting after 20+ years of survival.

You must face the age of not believing Doubting everything you ever knew Until at last you start believing There's something wonderful in you

Dame Angela Lansbury, who died at her home today in Los Angeles at the age of 96, is perhaps best known today as Jessica Fletcher in the acclaimed TV series Murder, She Wrote and in the Broadway stage plays and musicals in significant parts that Hollywood never gave her. But well before that, the Irish-British transplant to America (she and her family left Britain at the height of Nazi Germany’s bombing campaign of her home nation) made her career as mostly a character actress during the Golden Age of Hollywood. She may not have been a major star billed at the top of marquees and movie posters during her time while contracted to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), but she would come to be a recognizable figure to audiences of multiple generations – whether she might be playing a tough saloon owner with a belter of a singing voice, a schoolteacher just making ends meet, Elvis’ mother (despite a nine-year age difference), princesses and queens, the amoral and scheming wife of a political candidate, an emotionally manipulative mother, or a teapot matriarch.

She stepped onto a movie soundstage for the first time at seventeen years of age, while making Gaslight (1944) for MGM. Because she was still technically a minor, she had to be accompanied by a social worker while working on set. Despite this, director George Cukor and her co-stars (including Ingrid Bergman) treated her as equals, all of them recognizing right away her professionality and acting ability. Perhaps producers and studio executives might not have done the same, saddling her so often with character roles, but Lansbury – by all accounts – extended that same kindness Cukor and Bergman afforded to her to so many others over the decades, leaving a legacy that goes beyond whatever personal disappointments she may have had over the more considerable roles she never got to play.

Her distinction as Hollywood royalty came later in life, as our connections of Hollywood’s Golden Age are almost all gone.

Nine of the films Angela Lansbury appeared in follow (left-right, descending):

Gaslight (1944) – directed by George Cukor; also starring Charles Boyer, Ingrid Bergman, Joseph Cotten, and Dame May Whitty

The Harvey Girls (1946) – directed by George Sidney; also starring Judy Garland, John Hodiak, Ray Bolger, Preston Foster, Virginia O’Brien, Kenny Baker, Marjorie Main, Chill Wills, Selena Royle, and Cyd Charisse

The Three Musketeers (1949) – directed by George Sidney; also starring Lana Turner, Gene Kelly, June Allyson, Van Heflin, Frank Morgan, and Vincent Price

The Court Jester (1955) – directed by Melvin Frank and Norman Panama; also starring Danny Kaye, Glynis Johns, Basil Rathbone, and Cecil Parker

The Manchurian Candidate (1962) – directed by John Frankenheimer; also starring Frank Sinatra, Laurence Harvey, and Janet Leigh

Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971) – directed by Robert Stevenson and Ward Kimball; also starring David Tomlinson, Roddy McDowall, Sam Jaffe, John Ericson, Cindy O’Callaghan, Ian Weighill, and Roy Snart

Death on the Nile (1978) – directed by John Guillermin; also starring Peter Ustinov, Jane Birkin, Lois Chiles, Bette Davis, Mia Farrow, Jon Finch, Olivia Hussey, I.S. Johar, George Kennedy, Simon MacCorkindale, David Niven, Maggie Smith, and Jack Warden

Beauty and the Beast (1991) – directed by Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise; also starring Paige O’Hara, Robby Benson, Richard White, Jerry Orbach, David Ogden Stiers, Rex Everhart, Jesse Corti, and Bradley Pierce

Mary Poppins Returns (2018) – directed by Rob Marshall; also starring Emily Blunt, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Ben Whishaw, Emily Mortimer, Pixie Davies, Nathanael Saleh, Joel Dawson, Julie Walters, Meryl Streep, Colin Firth, David Warner, and Dick Van Dyke
