First (Eddie Munson x Reader)

Masterlist

Eddie Munson x Reader (She/Her)

Warnings: none

Synopsis: Y/N is surprised to find that the list of Eddie’s romantic endeavours is much shorter than she initially thought. So she decides to do something about it.

Y/N notes: none

Wanna be on the Eddie Munson tag list? Look here!

Wanna request something? Look here!

“You’re a virgin?!” Y/N sat up from where the two friends were lying in the grass.

“Y/N I’m called Eddie the freak. You think I’m getting laid?” Eddie chuckled, looking up at the clouds.

“I don’t know you just don’t give off virgin energy.” Y/N lay back down.

“That’s the best compliment I’ve ever received.” Y/N laughed at Eddie’s sarcasm.

“But really? No metalhead girl from out of town? No stranger in the broom closet of a house party?” Y/N asked, hands moving in the air as she talked. Eddie just grinned, keeping his eyes to the sky. His silence was enough to answer. “You’re telling me you haven’t corrupted at least one cheerleader or straight A good girl?” Y/N turned her head to look at him. Eddie chuckled.

“Nope.” Y/N just stared at him in disbelief. Eddie finally looked at her after getting no verbal response. He saw the shock still on her face. “I’m dead serious L/N!”

“But you act so… cool!” Y/N looked back up straight. She used her hands to talk again, helping her let out her confused frustration.

“You think I’m cool?”

“You have charisma and energy! No girl has ever even been a bit curious?”

“Well you’re asking a lot of curious questions right now.” That comment made Y/N stop for a moment. Eddie smiled. “What about you then? I’ve aired my dirty laundry, it’s your turn.”

“Okay okay fine.” Y/N breathed in then out and rested her hands on her stomach. “I’ve done seven minutes in heaven a bunch of times but I’ve only hooked up with Steve Harrington, and Chance and Andy from the basketball team, at different times of course-“

“TWO of the jocks AND Steve the hair Harrington?” Eddie questioned, head whipping over to her. “Y/N L/N you’re more of a player than I thought.” Y/N chuckled at Eddie’s enthusiasm.

“I want to make clear that all of them were single when it happened!” Y/N stated through a giggle. “So who have you kissed then?”

“No one! No one L/N! What are you not getting about weird loud nerd who’s been labeled a freak?” Eddie laughed. Y/N was still smiling but now she was shaking her head.

“I cannot believe this.” She said as she sat up. Eddie looked over to her, propping himself up on his elbows.

“Where you going?” He watched as she moved to sit on top of him, immediately making him loose his cool. “W-Wh- Y/N what are you-“

Y/N slowly closed the gap between their mouths. Eddie’s eyes widened before he remembered he should probably close them. He felt Y/N’s hand travel up his chest until she reached the top of his shirt. She grabbed it to pull him in closer before letting go and rolling off, leaving him wanting more.

“There you go Munson! You can check that off your list now.” Eddie laid there frozen, unable to speak. Y/N could see he was still in shock. “Y’know the good thing about kissing someone who’s never been kissed before, is that they have absolutely zero expectations for you. You were pretty good though. If I didn’t know any better Eddie, I’d say I didn’t just take your mouth virginity.”

“Oh gross. Don’t word it like that.” Y/N laughed.

“I just said it to weird you out.” Eddie just stared at her for a moment, still processing what just happened.

“W-Why did you do that?”

“Because I wanted to? And I was 95% sure you wanted to too. It went up to 100 the moment I sat on you.” Y/N grinned. They heard the school bell ring in the distance. “Ah shit I gotta go.”

She stood up and brushed herself off. “Guessing you’re skipping again?”

“Uh yeah.”

“Okay cool I’ll see ya later.” Y/N began walking away. She turned back around. “Hey if you’re lucky I might take your actual virginity one day.” She winked before disappearing into the distance. “Unless a lucky lady beats me to it!” She shouted back.

Eddie watched the spot she had disappeared to, long after she was out of view. His brain was still processing what had just happened. He gulped, feeling his face heat up.

He never knew a girl could make him such a mess so effortlessly.

Zatanna, Wonder Woman and Barry Allen go undercover in this issue of DC Retroactive: JLA- The 70's #1 (2011) and Diana is absolutely terrible at it:

For those who don't know DC Retroactive are untold stories set in past continuities mostly by writers from those eras.

This issue was written by Carey Bates with art by Andy Smith.

(Side note: While Diana being 'bad' at going undercover is just a two page gag, it makes more sense for me that Diana, former 'Goddess of Truth' and wielder of the Lasso of True wouldn't be comfortable with secret identities. I never liked the idea of Diana needing a secret identity. )

The plot of this issue mainly revolves around Adam Strange, who is accidentally transported to Earth Prime following a fight with Kanjar Ro so Barry, Diana, Zatanna and Ollie travel to Earth Prime to rescue him while Hawkman and Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) take on the newly empowered Kanjar Ro.

Earth-Prime is basically "our world" where the JLA are all fictional characters and the writers and creators exist on that earth. It's also the world where Superboy Prime originally came from. Since Adam had his mind zapped at a mental institute, the only solution is to find DC editor and Adam Strange super fan Julius Schwartz who can jog Adam's memory.

I'm not really a fan of creators writing themselves or their collegues into the story. It feels very self congratulatory. Especially since WW's lasso could have solved the whole thing. I much prefer how Marvel did it, like an Easter Egg, where Stan and Jack would sometimes appear as themselves in issues of Fantastic Four. But I guess you can look at this issue as Carey's tribute to Schwartz. This issue also came with a reprint of Justice League of America #123 where Carey Bates wrote himself (or rather his Earth Prime counterpart) as the villain of the story.

Adam Strange himself is a character that I have mixed feelings about. He's very much a product of his time but the ordinary guy with a space suit, jetpack and helmet really appeals to the young boy in me who loved the Rocketeer. I don't think anyone has ever quite figured out how to make him relevant today. Tom King tried in his mini but it was the usual trope of 'lets reveal this innocent Silver Age character is actually a horrible person' variety of reinvention.

Anyway, enough rambling, since this is a Zatanna blog, here is a few moments with her that I like:

-The League chilling on the tower, Diana looks like she is oogling at Zee plus Hal being a Pink Floyd fan:

-Zatanna and Barry interactions plus Barry taking a leader ship role:

-This bit about mind wipes:

Knowing how much of a nerd Barry is he probably folded inside when she called him boss.

Also while this was most likely an excuse to bring in Julius Schwartz, Zatanna not tampering with minds is more in character for her during this period especially since the arc with her mom also had a subplot of her being mad that her father played with her mind. Another point deducted from Identity Crisis.

Blink and you miss it panels where the artist is clearly showing off their ability to draw human body in perspective:

And Diana wanting to take a selfie after the League defeats Kanjar Ro:

(also Diana's clearly a history geek, only a history geeks would drop random facts about Incas completely unprompted):

Overall, it's an old school issue. Very much a throwback. Still it's noteable that the writer of this issue didn't do the almost obligatory 'Zee gets gagged or taken out early so other characters can shine' plot. Every one has a role and everyone contributes their fair share to help defeat the villain.

#zatanna #zatanna zatara #wonder woman #diana of themyscira #flash #barry allen #adam strange #green arrow #oliver queen #hawkman #katar hol #green lantern #hal jordan #justice league of america #dc retroactive justice league of america the 70's #carey bates #julius schwartz #andy smith

Fave WIP Round-Up [Part 2]

Posted a list of my fave WIPs last night and realized I missed some, so here's Part 2 of my fave WIPs! Find the rest of my WIP Recs here

is your light on? by @toburnup Rated E | Chapters: 17/20 | Words: 196k

"Tell me a secret." Steve says and Eddie shakes his head. "Why would I do that?" "I'll tell you one." Eddie looks intrigued, smirks in his direction. "A secret for a secret? Okay." He looks up. "You go first." (Steve always noticed Eddie. He's been there on the peripheral, easy enough to ignore. Until he's standing right in front of him, unavoidable. And then they collide over, and over, and over)

Tell Me "Don't", So I Can Crawl Back In by kiaramgrey Rated E | Chapters: 8/? | Words: 43k

When Steve finds himself alone and without friends, following his breakup with Nancy, he decides what he needs is a distraction. Maybe some new friends who don't remind him of the bullshit life he gave up. When he literally runs into Eddie Munson, school drug dealer and self proclaimed freak, an idea begins to form. Who better to show him what life outside popularity can be like, than someone who doesn't give a shit what anyone thinks? And Eddie? Well, Eddie is just bracing for impact.

Reboot by @plutosrose [Now Complete] Rated E | Chapters: 10/10 | Words: 38k

In 2012, Steve Harrington and Eddie Munson film a scene in the teen drama Normal Stuff that launches a popular ship on ao3. By early 2013, they aren't speaking anymore. In 2024, Robin calls Steve with an offer to reprise his role as Andy Hartley in a reboot of their old show, with one important update--his character gets together with Eddie's.

Lesson/Plan by @2btheanswertothequestion Rated M | Chapters: 3/5 | Words: 7k

Eddie huffs. "I'm already 20 fucking years old. I don't want to wait any longer. I want to experience all the shit everyone else already has now." "Everyone hasn't-" "Steve, the 15-year-olds currently in this house have seen more action than I have." "All right, okay, I hear you. We'll solve it for you." "How." "Well," Steve's tongue darts out to wet his lips, "if you just want to get it over with, then... I could kiss you?" Eddie's never been kissed, so Steve offers to teach him. And then he teaches him some more, and some more, and some more.

Sleight of Hand by @flieslikeamoron Rated E | Chapters: 17/19 | Words: 125k

Steve needs a weed dealer. He gets a bit more than that. (This is an AU set a couple months after the Snow Ball in season 2.)

PTA Shouldn't Stand for Pretty Tight Ass by @humanityinahandbag & Invader_Sam | Rated M | Chapters: 14/? | Words 51k

Steve Harrington - ex local legend and fearsome bully, now single father of two - returns to Hawkins after the world spit him out. With a messy life to sort through, all he wanted was settle down and get his kids through seventh grade without any surprises. Cue Mr. Eddie Munson, ex victim of one Steve Harrington, now Hawkins Middle School's favorite music teacher. Or: What happens when your former high school bully raises two absolute nerds, joins the PTA, helps run the bake sale, makes the best cupcakes in Indiana, and may or may not be having a bisexual crisis.

Some Cupids Kill With Dice by @hawkinsheroes Rated M | Chapters: 14/? | Words: 109k

Steve Harrington doesn't have time to date. In fact, between working multiple part-time jobs and raising two rambunctious and poorly-behaved preteens, he doesn't have time for much of anything. And it's fine. He's fine. He's having an absolutely awesome time slinging ice cream, sorting DVDs, and dodging questions from his friends and family about his love life. That is, of course, until the twins come to him with a simple request: go to Parents Night and sign them up for Mr. Munson's Dungeons and Dragons club. Or, the one where Steve is a tired and overworked DILF who may or may not be smitten with his kids' seventh grade English teacher. Featuring: busted old Hondas, milkshakes as an intricate mating ritual, twelve year-old wingmen, and the worst flirting you've ever seen in your life.

breathe out (so i can breathe you in) by @bttmbunk Rated E | Chapters: 11/12 | Words: 91k

“You thinking of getting it for yourself?” The man continues, eyebrows raised, and that’s when Steve realises he’s just been staring, practically drooling over this stranger who's decided to strike up a conversation about a guitar. A part of him wishes that the floor would open up and swallow him whole. “Oh, uh, no, actually.” He says, “It’s for my daughter.” Something indecipherable flickers across the man’s face, there and gone again in an instant, “How sweet.” “I don’t know what I’m looking for,” he admits, a little sheepish, “I’m not a musician, so…” he shrugs, “I have no way of knowing if this is a good guitar or not.” There’s a hint of amusement in the man’s eyes as his mouth tilts into a more crooked grin, “Well, lucky for you, I can help.” In one fluid motion, the man drops himself into a sweeping, dramatic bow. The suddenness of it startles a laugh out of Steve. “Eddie Munson, guitarist, musician extraordinaire - at your service.” His energy is infectious - Steve finds that he’s grinning, “Uh, Steve Harrington. Basketball coach, dad,” He tries to think of another good descriptor, but comes up short, “Totally at a loss, here.”

Trouble Looks Good On You by @steddielations Rated E | Chapters: 3/5 | Words: 35k

It happens like a fever dream. The first time Steve gives Eddie a swift smack on the ass, it’s obviously just an old jock habit that’s stuck with him. It wasn’t meant to have Eddie’s knees going weak, or turn his blood hot under his skin, or give him a brand in the shape of Steve Harrington’s hand, or— Nope, because Eddie’s not even into that. But then, it happens again. Or, Steve keeps accidentally awakening Eddie’s new kinks.

for this gift, I do feel blessed @wheatisstillwheat [Now Complete] Rated E | Chapters: 19/19 | Words: 96k

Steve was supposed to be in Berlin with his best friend Robin, not wandering around looking for a coffee shop, not speaking a lick of German. Steve definitely wasn't supposed to take the only open seat next to a beautiful, mysterious (sexy), and slightly pissed stranger at said coffee shop who cannot believe Steve wasn't angling for an autograph from him, which Steve definitely isn't, because Steve has no idea who he is...yet. (OR Rock Star AU - in which Eddie Munson is a famous grunge/alt/metal band frontman and Steve is as clueless as we'd all expect. hi-jinx and love ensue.)

A little while back you did piercing hcs for the marauders and co could you do that with tattoos? 😁

Oh babes, absolutely! I love this idea and boyyyy do I have Thoughts about this

So sorry this took so long! I had to work on it in between back to back shifts at work. Let me know what you think of these!

Tattoos & Styles I HC The Marauders & Co With (and this time someone asked for my brain rot!)

James

Okay, so James is definitely a pincushion. He absolutely let Sirius use him as a practice mannequin when they were first learning how to tattoo so he’s covered in varying different tattoos of different styles and skill level. I think James has kinda always been covered in Sirius’ art, bc he absolutely let Sirius draw on him during class. So when ink pens turned to tattoo guns, James and his zero fear of permanence didn’t bat an eye at being used as a practice dummy.

On his right forearm, he has a matching tattoo with the Marauders. It’s a stag’s head, with a rat sitting on it, the Sirius constellation between the antlers, and a halfmoon behind it.

On his right bicep, he has a half sleeve. I HC James as Desi and Hindu, and that tattoo is a Mehndi design James created with an elephant in the foreground. He had Sirius do it, ofc, and it took like 4-6 sessions to get it done because Sirius was absolutely fixated on making sure it was perfect

Regulus gives him a stick and poke (like a legit one, not an ink pen insert and a needle one) and it’s of a stag with a cat playing in its antlers. It’s on the inside of James’ right ankle. He’s constantly pestering Regulus about doing more

When Effie and Monty pass (of very very old age and only that of course), James has Sirius create a memorial piece for them. They incorporate a lot of meaningful things in it for James; one of Effie’s own Mehndi designs, a crow (the messenger between the lands of living and dead as well as Effie’s favourite animal), Monty’s favourite book quote written in Punjabi, and a bunch of little symbols that represent them both. James and Sirius both sobbed through that entire tattoo. It rests right on top of James’ heart and spans most the left side of his chest

James is kind of a mess of different styles and skill levels, and is basically just covered in a bunch of small tattoos. He collects one on every holiday, pretty much any time Sirius is bored, or whenever something significant in his life happens. He’s just a living sticker book of art, basically

Marlene, Pete, and James each have their childhood house numbers tattooed on the inside of their left wrists. James’ is 421

Sirius

Sirius still has their runic tattoos and the chest tattoo, because I cannot physically make those not a thing. I love them so much

Down the back of their left arm, they have the cycles of the moon

Paw prints of a wolf and a dog, everywhere. Side by side down their spine, around their runic tattoos, down the side of their legs, etc.

Banding. There’s so much banding. Esp on their forearms! From super thin to super thick banding, it’s all over Sirius’ body. They have one set of banding that goes around their waist and it drives Remus crazy

Magic tattoo or not, Sirius absolutely has the Marauder’s Map footsteps all over them

Obviously they have the Marauders Tattoo too. It’s on the right side of their ribcage.

I think a lot of Sirius’ tattoos that they didn’t do themselves are runic. Protection runes, mostly, but all kinds of different runes in multiple runic languages (I HC Sirius as being a total Ancient Runes nerd)

All the tattoos Sirius did do on themselves are more like doodles than actual tattoos. Something popped in their head, they had time to spare, so they did it real quick. There’s not a lot of thought behind those ones

There are a bunch that are representative of the people in their life, though. Like they’ve got Regulus’ constellation, Alphard’s constellation, Andy’s constellation. They’ve got rat paw prints and deer hoof prints, James’ quidditch/footie/lacrosse jersey number, chess pieces with whiskers or a tail, chocolates stacked on top of books, etc.

They’ve got their own kind of memorial tattoo for Effie and Monty (they didn’t feel like they could use Effie’s Mehndi design because they’re not Hindu and there was a lot of guilt and stuff they needed to deal with before they could even bring themselves to do the memorial tattoo and James was ready to lose his mind because when his mum said that Sirius was her child no matter what, she didn’t mean that they were only her child if they became Hindu themselves. There were lots of conversations about that)

There really isn’t much open space on Sirius’ body lmao they just constantly tattoo over things and all sorts of chaos

Remus

Where Sirius is very chaotic with their tattoos, Remus is very methodical. It’s not that his tattoos can be read like a book or anything, he just puts a lot of thought into his tattoos. He dedicates limbs and areas of his body to certain things. He doesn’t just get an idea and slap it somewhere. It might be a control thing, it might not be, who knows. It’s just the way he does things

Has the Marauder tattoo on his left thigh

You know the chest tattoos with the hands? Remus has one, except the left hand is holding a can of petrol and the right one is holding a zippo

Remus’ right sleeve is almost patchwork, but it’s like a blended patchwork? I’m not sure how to describe what I think of when I think of his right sleeve, but basically, it’s a significance piece. His right sleeve is basically the places in his life that have left an impact on him. The house in Wales where he grew up, the fork his Mam swore up and down was lucky, the couches in the Gryffindor common room, and the brickwork fireplace. Candles from the Great Hall float all around his arm, the spot James showed him behind the Quidditch bleachers where he carved his name into the wood when he was high, the broken piano in the Shack that Sirius always tried to play, the door number to Sirius’ and his first flat, the uneven second hand kitchen table with tea cups on it they put in their kitchen. The castle itself. The forest. Everywhere that makes an impact on Remus’ life gets immortalised on his arm.

I am a firm believer that Remus would refuse to get anything wolf/dog related inked, but you bet he has stars all over. Sirius’ constellation is tattooed over his heart

I’m also a huge believer that Remus is a classics nerd, so his left side is dedicated to classic mythos and literature references. He’s got gods and goddesses and stories inked into his skin like it’s his arm that tells their stories, not the books themselves. He’s got Hades and Persephone reaching for each other between the worlds, Orpheus and Eurydice, and Achilles, Patroclus and the Trojan Horse. He and Regulus have a whole geek out when they realise they each have a mythos tattoo

Similarly to his mythos sleeve, I think Remus, especially growing up in Wales and with Hope as his Mam, give off big mythological creature nerd vibes (excluding werewolves, obvi). Like you cannot tell me that little bitty Remus Lupin was not a dinosaur kid. So his right leg is all mythological creatures. Kind of on theme with his sleeve, a lot of them are Greek, like Chimera, Pegasus, and a Sphinx. But he also has an Afanc, Tylwyth Teg (Welsh interpretation of Fae/Faeries), and an Adar Llwch Gwin (a griffin-type of bird, with the head and wings of an eagle and of a cat)

His left leg is sort of open, it’s where he puts things that don’t really have a “place” or when he runs out of space on his sleeves

Peter

Marlene, Pete, and James each have their childhood house numbers tattooed on the inside of their left wrists. Pete’s is 439.

Has the matching Marauder’s tattoo with James, Sirius, and Remus on his left bicep

He’s not necessarily opposed to getting more tattoos, but he pretty much just gets them with his friends. He feels like he’s too indecisive to just get one

Marlene

Marlene’s tattoos are chaos. There’s no rhyme, reason, or order to them. They could be super meaningful or they could be a rabbit wearing a fancy suit with a top hat balancing on a unicycle and frogs stuffed in the pockets (that one’s on her left thigh. she has no recollection of when or where she got it)

She has identical outline of cats around both of her nipples because she thought it’d be hilarious to have a “titty tat of a kitty cat!”…I’ll give you three guesses as to who did that for her and the first two don’t count.

Marlene, Pete, and James each have their childhood house numbers tattooed on the inside of their left wrists. Marlene’s is 465.

Marlene is the kind of person to walk into a shop and go “I have £100, what will that get me”. Her body is hers to decorate and she’s doing it with a fuck ton of permanent stickers

She has a matching tramp stamp with Evan, Barty, Dorcas and Tillie. It’s the absolute worst thing she has tattooed on her and she adores it.

She’s really just covered in flash work. There’s some traditional tattoos, with old school card suits and flowers on her shoulder. There’s neotraditional pieces, with the overlapping sun and moon on her hip. There’s lots of fineline, a dragon wrapping around a bouquet of poisonous flowers on her sternum. There’s a wacky sort of tribal/geometric half sleeve on her right calf. She’s got fun little watercolour pieces decorating her arms. She’s got a blackwork geometric piece that goes around her stomach that’s all negative space and shading details and no one can agree one what everything is or isn’t (she won’t tell anyone the answers either).

She has a very tiny snake and lion behind each of her ears

She has a mandala tattoo that goes across the back of her head, but you can only see it when she has an undercut in her hair

Mary

Mary is a fun one. She’s definitely a tattoo fiend, but while she’s not methodical like Remus and Regulus are, she’s not chaotic like Barty and Marlene are with them.

She’s got a lot of different things, a bunch of muggle references, a lot of Wizarding references

Couple of fun floral pieces

Something about Mary just screams “forest” piece to me. I think she’s got a sleeve that’s all themed after the Forbidden Forest and it’s all done in realism. Very spooky but also very beautiful

Not to make this heartbreaking, but if canon compliant Mary got one tattoo before she obliviated herself, I think she would have gotten a tattoo of Hogwarts with a compass, because even though Hogwarts was the source of her trauma and pain, a part of her would always feel at home there. So when she knew she was going to obliviate herself, she got herself something to find home with, should she ever need it

Solar System. Mary strikes me as a closeted Astronomy and astrology nerd. I think she’s got a solar system tattoo, straight down her spine, and a galaxy tattoo on her ribs, and then maybe the astrology signs somewhere?

Matching butterfly tattoo with Lily, Mary’s is a Monarch

Lily

Lily, loml, she’s a watercolour babe 10000%

She doesn’t have a ton of pieces, but she gets a few every now and again

Fineline watercolour girlie for sureeee and we love her for it

She says she doesn’t like floral pieces, but she has one on her sternum, however it absolutely does NOT have lilies in it

Miss Girl absolutely has one of those fineline tattoos with the stack of books with a tea cup on top of them and the steam looks like magic, you know the ones I’m talking about? And it’s like in her inner forearm right by her elbow

Has a matching butterfly tattoo with Mary, Lily’s is a Swallowtail

Regulus

Has a bottom lip tattoo that says “CUNT”. It was his first tattoo and his second ever act of rebellion against his parents (his first being his nipple piercings). Barty came up with the idea to have them all write down a word and then pick it out of a hat and that’s what they’d get tattooed. Barty and Evan could not stop laughing when Regulus pulled out his.

Regulus is very similar to Remus in a way. His tattoos are all very organised and thought out, minus a few impulse ones with his friends or Sirius and the Marauders

Regulus really favours abstract, geo, and blackwork styles, with a bit of fineline influence in some pieces. He doesn’t have a single colour tattoo, strictly black and grey.

His left arm is all bold lines, sharp angles, heavy black work, and lots of negative space. He got it right after he got unofficially disowned, used the bank account his parents cut him off from as a last “fuck you” to them and it kind of represents his inner turmoil during that time of his life. He did the sleeve in one session, it took 13.5 hours and his artist took more breaks than he did. If that gives you an idea of how his mental state was at the time

His right arm is lighter, less harsh lines and negative space, more open linework. Lots of geometric patterns that feed into each other shoulder to wrist. There’s still some inverted shading and negative work, but for the most part, it’s fairly open. There’s a lot more diversity in his right sleeve than his left, stacks of shapes and a bunch of 3D shading, the linework seems to twist and turn with his arm, rather than go against the grain of his body like his left does.

His chest piece is his absolute favourite of all his tattoos. He and Barty started on it almost immediately after he got the all clear from Drs/Healers after his top surgery. The tattoo is of a Boomslang snake, and it weaves in and out of his surgery scars like it’s entering and exiting his body from under his skin. It slithers all the way around his chest, ribs, and back, before it curls over his shoulder and it’s head comes right to his heart. It’s jaws are open, and it looks like it’s striking at his heart. Throughout the scales, the use of heavy blackwork and negative space carves out the words “Le monstre n'a pas peur de ce qu'il deviendra” or “the monster does not fear what it will become”. It was one of the most painful tattoos Regulus has, because his top surgery scars were still healing, but the tattoo and the fact that it was Barty who did it made it so incredibly worth it

His left leg has a full sleeve on it, and it’s super dope. The whole sleeve is based off of animals with magical or supernatural tales about them. The sleeve is almost done like a totem pole, but the faces are done half in geometrics and half in inverted shading. He has a fox, a coyote, a cat, a vulture, and a bat

His right leg is where all of his impulse tattoos go. Or where he lets Barty and Sirius practice. There’s a lot of small pieces and some larger ones. Sirius did a piece on his thigh that’s a realistic portrait of a lion, except the Regulus constellation covers it’s chest. Barty did another piece with a dog and the Sirius constellation on his calf.

He has a tattoo of Icarus with his wings melting and falling from the sky on the right side of his rib cage

He wants to do a back piece and fill in his torso at some point. Give him 3-5 years to make up his mind and not over think it lmfao

Barty

Blackwork. So. Much. Blackwork.

If he’s got tattoos in a magical fic, his entire left forearm is a blackout. Then the rest of that sleeve is an inverted sleeve with negative space

Has a snake that starts on his sternum, wraps around his neck, under his right arm, over his shoulder and ends on his chest. Done in blackwork style also

His right sleeve is a bit of a mashup. He’s got some blackwork and negative space, but also a bit of fineline work.

He has a neck and face tattoo. It’s on the left side, and it starts near where his shoulder meets his neck then goes up his neck, and around his head and ear. It’s a rose bush. (If it’s a magical tattoo, the different coloured roses bloom and close at different times depending on Evan’s moods)

On his right hipbone, Evan tattooed “ROSY” on him

He has a galaxy and constellation tattoo on his left thigh, it’s the only other coloured tattoo he has besides his rose bush one. He got it for Regulus when he officially changed his name after coming out as trans

His legs are full of small tattoos he did himself. He started tattooing to piss his father off, so some of them are really dumb or badly done, but it’s so on brand for him that he touches them up from time to time just to make sure they stay. The tattoo he’s most proud of though, is Regulus’

I think his ribs and torso are pretty covered, probably a mix of random flash art he thinks is cool when he’s in the shop and more floral designs with snakes.

He absolutely has knuckle and hand tattoos, but for the life of me I cannot decide what exactly they’d be. Part of me really thinks he would do a nod towards Hogwarts and do a snake, an eagle, a badger, and a lion and just do symbols on his knuckles. The other part of me thinks he’d do something ridiculous like “PLAN” on his right hand and “AHEA” on the left just because he’s Barty and why wouldn’t he do shit like that

He has a matching tramp stamp with Dorcas, Marlene, Tillie, and Evan because they were all high as a mf and thought it would be hilarious (it is, in fact, hilarious and the most 70s tramp stamp ever)

Has a bottom lip tattoo that says “SLUT”

He wants to do a massive back piece (talking like shoulders to thigh), but hasn’t decided 100% what he wants to do, so hasn’t done it yet. But once that’s done he’s going to have very little open skin left to tattoo

Evan

On his right hipbone, Barty tattooed “BEE” on him

Has a bottom lip tattoo that says “WHORE”

I cannot stress enough how much of a new school vibe I get from Evan. Like this mf gets just the weirdest shit tattooed on him

Rose bush, but all the flowers are skulls. It takes up like all of his torso and rib cage. There’s also a bunch of vines and poisonous plants tangled in there. Somehow it simultaneously does and doesn’t at all fit his vibe

Dragon. Giant, wrapping, dragon. Takes up his entire right leg from the top of his foot up his hip. The dragon’s head wraps up around his thigh and arsecheek then over his hip bone and is blowing smoke right at his naval. He thinks he’s funny.

He and Pandora have a double helix DNA tattoo. Evan’s is on the outside of his left hand

Pandora

Had a bottom lip tattoo that says “PSYCHO” (Barty was PISSED when she got this one until he pulled his out and then wasn’t quite as mad. He did try to get Evan to tattoo his upper lip with it so he could be “Psycho Slut” which he thought was very on brand)

Pandora is also very new school vibe for me. I feel like she would absolutely get all of her creatures tattooed in a new school style and then have a really abrupt fineline piece here and there. It kinda makes your head spin, but that’s the whole point of it

Pandora and Evan have a double helix DNA strand tattoo. Hers is on the outside of her right hand

Has a giant realistic thestral on her thigh

Moths, lots of really cool fineline tattoos of different moth species (idk she strikes me as a bug girlie)

Dorcas

Has a bottom lip tattoo that says “BITCH”

Has a massive sword tattoo down her spine

Right sleeve is an ivy sleeve, it’s just vines and wrapping around her arm and hand. Some of it goes between her fingers and under her arm

Has a lot of Japanese Traditional style tattoos, the Yin and Yang koi fish on her thigh, cherry blossoms up her left calf, phantom Samurai on her ribcage

On her right calf she has a tattoo of a witch being burned at the stake, very haunting, very cool

Amelia

Has a balance tattooed on her inner left wrist and a gavel on her inner right wrist

Has a matching tattoo with Emme and Tillie of a stack of TNT on her hip

I think Amelia keeps her tattoos covered for the most part. They’re really important to her, but they’re definitely FOR her, ya know? Idk, that’s just the vibe I get from her

Emmeline

Has a matching tattoo with Amelia and Tillie of a stack of TNT on her hip

Something about Emme just screams floral tattoos to me. I think she definitely has a sleeve (or two) of mostly floral tattoos. It feels like a really nice dichotomy between how much of a badass she is (either as an Auror or firefighter or whatever kickass occupation she has) and how soft and kind she can be. I really see her having a sleeve on her right leg that she absolutely gets done in black and grey so her godbabies can colour her flowers in whenever she babysits them

Tillie

Has a matching tattoo with Emme and Amelia of a stack of TNT on her hip

Has a matching tramp stamp with Evan, Barty, Dorcas, and Marlene, she has zero recollection of getting it but every time she has to see the unfortunate thing, she can’t help but laugh. She vows to never get high and get tattoos with them again, but she absolutely fails at that

Shark tattoos. Like so many. Whale sharks, hammerheads, great whites, black tips, nurse sharks, shovelnose, etc. There’s just random little tiny shark tattoos all over her and I’m obsessed with them

On the same theme, I think she also has an ocean theme leg sleeve. A full coral reef, mermaids, all kinds of fish, ofc there’s sharks, maybe a whale and definitely an octopus in there. The whole thing is done in full colour and goes from her ankle all the way up her hip and ends at the bottom of her ribcage

My journey through John Oliver's IMDB page that I've been doing in the last few days (summary: his old Cambridge doc got taken off YouTube, I got paranoid about how I'm glad I'd saved that but this is a reminder that nothing stays on the internet forever so you need to save the stuff you want to keep, this escalated too quickly into me buying a new external hard drive just to see how much of his IMDB page I can download and put in one place) has brought me through a documentary about Russell Howard from 2021. I previously knew that documentary existed, but I hadn't watched it because even before Russell doubled down on the Jordan Peterson thing enough for me to be done watching his stuff (I ignored the mild comments for months before he actually invited Peterson onto his show and made ignoring it impossible), I didn't need to see a documentary about how the pandemic made life difficult for an extremely rich and successful touring comedian.

However, I learned today that John Oliver had a credit in the documentary, so obviously I immediately downloaded it. To be honest I haven't watched the whole thing, I just skipped through it in search of the John Oliver bits. Because I have given up on Russell Howard, but his former connection to the Chocolate Milk Gang, and my hobby of cataloguing all Chocolate Milk Gang history, is the only thing that will make me temporarily suspend my closely held principles such as a hard line against all Jordan Peterson apologists. I did the same thing with his recent podcast, rolling my eyes when I first saw it announced because surely he doesn't need another platform and Britcom doesn't need another bland podcast, until I saw that there would be a John Oliver episode and obviously I listened to that one.

Anyway, the point is that there was some fun Chocolate Milk Gang history in the documentary, I've cut out the relevant clip:

The Chocolate Milk Gang goes by many names. Andrew Maxwell apparently called them "the guys with the bags". Stewart Lee has called them "The hanging around gang". In a discussion with Richard Herring they were labeled "the nerds of the circuit". But here we have a new one: the golden generation. A name coined by Russell Howard and then immediately and entirely justifiably ripped apart by John Oliver, what good stuff. I greatly enjoyed that. Someone should make a Chocolate Milk Gang documentary. I could probably cut together a Chocolate Milk Gang documentary from all the media files I've hoarded. See how many names they've been given over the years.

Based on the ten or so minutes I watched, I think I might genuinely be capable of putting together better videos than the person who made this Russell Howard documentary, the editing on it looks surprisingly amateur-ish for a film about such a huge mainstream star. However, it did provide me with very slightly (only very slightly, but still) higher quality versions of a couple of CMG-related images I had seen before, but had only seen in terrible quality, so it's nice to have those a little clearer:

And I hadn't seen this one before, I don't think Andy Zaltzman changed in appearance at all between 2003 and about 2017.

Oh and Steve Hall shows up at the end, which is fun. I like that guy. I like Steve Hall probably too much, given the fact that the main thing I've heard him do is be quite gross on several episodes Daniel Kitson's radio show in 2007-2008. But it was really funny. Those episodes made me laugh almost constantly and I recommend them to absolutely no one, no one should ever hear that. Though it's not the only thing I've heard him do. I have to be the only person in the world who watched the We Are Klang sitcom in 2023 just for one actor, but that actor was not Greg Davies. Oh and Steve Hall was in that Late 'n' Live recording from 2007, but that's not a lot better for making him respectable. He writes on The Russell Howard Hour and on some level I know he was probably involved in bringing in Jordan Peterson and probably if I asked Steve Hall to tell me all his political opinions I wouldn't be able to enjoy his old sitcom anymore, but luckily he doesn't have a big enough platform to tell us all his opinions so I'll just assume it's fine.

@lastweeksshirttonight, tagging you in case you don't happen to see this post because you'll really enjoy that video clip, it is relevant to your interests.

Sending hugs always!

3. Biggest self-insert OC?

4. What kind of music do your OCs listen to?

5. What are some of your OCs biggest fears?

6. Do you have any OCs without stories? Will you ever create one for them?

7. What are your favourite relationships between your OCs? (romantic or platonic!)

8. Do you have any OC family trees?

9. Favourite OC?

Please and thank you!

3. Biggest self-insert OC?

Sarah started out as a self-insert OC in a Xavier's School RP on the Ctrl+Alt+Del forums, in the eaaaarly 2010s. Since then, she's absolutely developed to be her own character, but she's sort of the person I would like to be now, regarding her chosen family, love of cooking/baking, and being creative. Meanwhile Oz has all of the money I wish I had and more, and Angie is as confident and cool as I want to be.

4. What kind of music do your OCs listen to?

I definitely can't list them all, just because I have so many OCs, so I will focus on my favorites for the rest of the questions, haha. Sarah loves artists like BABYMETAL and Paramore, her older sister Angie has a giant range of likes from Halestorm to Gary Allan, Oz is a big Britney Spears and general pop music/Top 40 fan.

5. What are some of your OCs biggest fears?

Oz hates all bugs, snakes, and lizards - it gets a tiny bit better when Doyle starts showing an interest in herpetology, but not much. Sarah has had to go to therapy to stop being anxious anytime she starts to get hungry, but she still carries snacks with her everywhere. Neither of them are a fan of men being loud and aggressive. Most of Angie's fears involve Sarah getting hurt in any way, shape, or form. (He is not okay when she goes through her one pregnancy - especially when he finds out about pregnancy psychosis.)

6. Do you have any OCs without stories? Will you ever create one for them?

Angie's wife, Rayne, and one of Oz's relationships, Andy, don't get written about enough. I really hope to change it someday.

7. What are your favorite relationships between your OCs? (Romantic or platonic!)

I love Oz and Calum's relationship, and how they are basically childhood sweethearts. They also have a third partner later in their life--a sweet, scholarly astrology nerd named Jakob that I haven't posted anything about on AO3, but have plenty of old WIPs with him. I also love that Oz has so much love in his life - not just from his family and partners, but he has so many friends. He considers Nic, Andy's wife, to be his platonic partner as well as best friend - they are married in a Bridgerton AU to save both of them from a life of misery.

8. Do you have any OC family trees?

Most of my OCs have fleshed out parents and siblings, though there are a few only children. Sarah and Angie are siblings, with Sarah four years younger. Oz has a sister that is two years younger than he is. There is a Gravity Falls AU that I like to think about, but idk if I will ever write, where Angie and Jakob are twins/stand-ins for Stan and Ford, and Sarah's grandkids are stand-ins for Dipper and Mabel.

9. Favorite OC?

Angie. He's such an asshole and has done and gone through so much, but he also made the decision to be better, and worked so hard to do it. He earned the relationships he has with his wife and Sarah, (they lost touch for a few years, Angie was in a bad place and acted like a dick to drive Sarah away 'for her own good') and beat his own mental health and cancer, and has a life he never thought he would have. (He always thought he would be a Very Unimportant Member of the 27 Club.)

For the ask game

Val, Leon, and Magnus (along w their respective partners)

OTP Asks

Val Polycule (Andy, Lucas, Noah, and Dan) (ILITW)

Who would beg the other not to leave? Who has to leave to protect the other? Well. The fun thing about this one is that it's canon. Noah literally on his knees begging Val not to go while Val leaves (dies) so Noah doesnt have to and everyone else is free.... Who would get into a fight to defend the other's honor? Who tends to the other's wounds? By the time the others process what is happening and what the person said, Val is already leaping into "battle" and Andy is right at his heels. Meanwhile Lucas and Noah are physically dragging them away by their scruffs and Dan is sighing as he heads off to get the first aid kit.

Does either of them have a secret that could potentially ruin their relationship? Not in the uh, traditional sense. But Val constantly lies and hides his feelings to an unhealthy extent and his defensiveness when pushed does NOT helped. It's let to more than one fight and even an instance where he and Lucas didn't talk for a week. But thankfully Val does get his head out of his ass and goes to therapy to start working on it and does get better.

Leon and Tom (ILB)

Who would beg the other not to leave? Who has to leave to protect the other? I'm not entirely sure of a scenario where it would happen but Leon would leave Tom to protect him in a heartbeat and Tom would NOT be happy about it. I'm talking Leon tells him and is out the door before Tom has even realized what Leo was saying and then Tom storms outside after him. However. The reverse is also not out of the equation. You see, when Leon was missing in ILW, one of the avenues explored for where he could be involved Elliot hunting down and interrogating Leon's bio dad, Steve Killian. And when Leon was saved sweet, well-meaning Elliot let Steve know. Unfortunately this brought Leon's transphobic and homophobic father to Pine Springs to see him. It would be very likely that Tom with his very low self-esteem and severe guilt, would see how much Leon is learning and try to help take a piece of it off his shoulders by leaving.

Who would get into a fight to defend the other's honor? Who tends to the other's wounds? Leon would DEFINITELY fight to defend Tom's honor even against Tom's fellow nerds. And Tom will so gently tend to Leon's wounds while also making Leon swear he will not do something like that again. Leon will absolutely do it again.

Does either of them have a secret that could potentially ruin their relationship? After ILW Leon ends up with powers...ones he very much doesnt want and tries to deny. He doesn't tell anyone. Not even Tom or Elliot. As a result they kind of...explode and he hurts both Parker and Danni. Tom is pissed. Being lied to about the power is what got him possessed last time and while he can handle Leon having powers, lying about them is a whole other story.

Magnus and Marcus (LoA/Windverse)

Who would beg the other not to leave? Who has to leave to protect the other? Marcus actually, even though it seems like it should be Magnus. Magnus left once to protect himself. But after an encounter with a particularly jealous fan that lands Magnus and Zahir in the hospital (nothing too serious, just some bruises and a concussion and a few broken bones) after what they thought was a work dinner Marcus tries to leave Magnus to protect him. However he severely underestimates Magnus's stubborness and Magnus bugs him with phone calls and texts until Magnus takes time off work just to show up at Marcus's house and Marcus's bodyguard even lets him in. Magnus then stands there and refuses to leave until Marcus either calls the police or gets his head out of his ass. He very much does thankfully

Who would get into a fight to defend the other's honor? Who tends to the other's wounds? While both would defend the other, Marcus is the one more likely to actually fight someone for Magnus. And Magnus will call him an idiot, to his face, multiple times, while patching him up.

Does either of them have a secret that could potentially ruin their relationship? Secret? Yes. Magnus is so cagey about his past and Marcus just completely ignores his own, not in a unhealthy way but in more of a disownment "moving on" way.

Hi Andy! Can I call you that?

Oh, I love these celebrations. And I think I might send tons of asks for this! I’m gonna start with saying that I love your blog very much and proceed with asking you to ship me with an HP character, please. ❤️

I’m Sab—your friendly neighborhood ENTP with a sun, moon, and rising in Gemini.

I’m an aesthete, a bibliophile, a creative writer in real life, and an aspiring author. I’m your typical girlie who’s in love with the color pink, rose gold more specifically, good music, dancing, and a good romance novel.

I'm an extrovert, a lover of languages and cultures with 3 languages under my belt and basic knowledge in 4 others.

I love the piano, though I cannot play it, but I always pester my best friend to play me something.

Baking and cooking? Sign me up! Late night chats? You’ve found your girl. Certified cat mom? That’s me!

I’m a social butterfly, and more than 20 people have nicknamed me “butterfly” even though they don’t know each other and couldn’t have possibly passed the nickname around.

I’m gregarious, and I absolutely love meeting people and making friends. As for romantic partners, I typically value one’s intelligence more than anything, and I’m the girl who falls for the intellectuals more than the bad boys or the morally grey men. (Typical Gemini)

Rhys Larsen is my book boyfriend. (read twisted games, it’s perfect!)

I’m 24, a Gryffindor-Thunderbird, in love with babies and kittens. And I think the HP character with the personality closest to mine would be Hermione. I was a nerd at school. Like a real insufferable know-it-all.

I’m straight, and I’m excited to see which HP handsome wizard I’m gonna get! Thanks, love🤍🤍

Hello there and thank you for sending this 🤍

I have to ship you with Theodore Nott/Regulus Black. (I couldn’t decide between the two)

Think about it, they are both introverted and smart. They know how to play the piano, because of course they do… and as a way for them to express their love for you they would play songs for you for hours.

You would bond over your love for languages, -he speaks at least three fluently-, because his parents have forced him to learn them. But he enjoys it now, mainly because it brings him closer to you.

He is shy at first but you help him come out of his shell, with your extroverted and friendly personality. He would feel comfortable to open up to you and he is a great listener which is great because you are a Gemini and you have so many interesting and fun stories to tell.

I can easily picture you two in the kitchen at nights, when the elves aren’t there, baking and cooking together while laughing about everything and nothing.

And when you publish your first book, he will be the first one to buy it (he read it before you even gave it to the editors- but still). You will find him in your home, by the fireplace quietly reading with your cat on his lap.

I have so many headcanons for you two, but if I go there I will never stop lmao ❤️

I wish you the best of luck with everything and I can’t wait to read your work in the future (whenever you publish a book- and when I have the time to read the works already published in your blog)

I watched a movie recently called surviving lunch and Clayton Royal Johnson was in it playing a character named Danny and my brain being my brain was like imagine Danny and Andy being twin brothers. So of course I have headcanons I'm me.

They are identical twins brothers.

There completely and utter polar opposites of each other.

Danny gets mistaken for his brother all the time poor baby but nobody mistakes Andy for Danny It's always like this "Andy dude over here." And then poor Danny is like "No sorry I'm Danny."

Their parents named them Daniel and Andrew so they wouldn't have have names that sounded alike but of course Danny decided to go by Danny and Andy went by Andy

Eddie was the first one to call Danny by his actual name and it went something like this

Eddie: "Danny? Yea you big guy."

Danny surprised that he wasn't mistaken for his brother for once.

Danny: "Danny, you said Danny."

Eddie looking at his papers confused.

Eddie: "Your Danny right, you're not Andy cause that would be just my luck."

Danny just immediately hugs Eddie so thankful someone got his name right.

Eddie shocked pats him on the back: "Okay we are hugging."

Danny runs the drama club which Eddie is apart of obviously

Danny isn't part of the popular group, he's part of the nerds and the weirdos.

Danny is the trouble maker out of the two, he's also very socially awkward.

He has a massive crush on Gareth but because Danny has Andy's face he doesn't even try because why would Gareth love him when he's identical to his worse nightmare.

Danny is a giant klutz, I mean it he's tripped and die constantly it's cute it's not so cute when he drags someone down with him or spills something on someone.

Both brothers have a giant fear of needles and blood they see either and they faint there nicknames are literally fainting goats.

Danny tutors Eddie he's trying really desperately to get him to graduate in 86.

He was not part of the giant man hunt for Eddie instead he was a double agent for Eddie, he would somtimes pretend to be his brother to get information out of Jason and Chance so Steve and everyone could move Eddie around it was like a giant game of shells, he felt like James Bond.

Danny helped Gareth and Jeff get fixed up after what Jason did and the entire time he was apologizing over and over again because he really likes Gareth and he knew in that moment his brother just completely ruined any chance he could have had with Gareth. He tried making it better by going: "I think you're music is pretty awesome, don't listen to my idiot brother. You guys are going somewhere."

Danny sorta accidently broke Andy's arm when he jumped Erica because that was just to far he wasn't trying to break his brothers arm it just happened, he purposely saved Jason from getting split in half though.

Danny made Andy apologize to Erica and do everything she asked for like a month straight.

Danny set Steve and Eddie up on a blind date he sorta was supposed to be the third wheel, he pretended to be sick that day.

In this universe you can thank Danny for Steddie.

Danny and Andy sorta got along after the events of season four but not really.

Danny loves just showing up at Wayne's trailer for dinner Wayne jokingly calls him Eddie's pet because Eddie was nice to him once.

Danny "accidently" locked Steve and Eddie in Eddie's closet because they wouldn't stop bickering, Wayne had to let them out because Danny forgot and passed out on Eddie's bed in which Steve and Eddie just decided to sleep on him.

Dustin likes to joke that Danny is his older brother.

Dustin and Danny act like brothers it's funniest thing ever.

Danny knows how to play the bass and guitar so somtimes at practice he fills in for Jeff or Kevin if their not available.

Danny purposely dresses like Eddie to tick Andy off, he also enjoys stealing his brothers hats even though he absolutely hates hats it makes his head itch. He steals them to hide them.

Andy's nickname for Danny is little shit and then Danny calls his brother Little shrimp because Eddie calls Jason shark boy.

Danny is younger than Andy by five minutes.

Steve threw Danny a birthday party and he turned into a five year old basically because he's always had share with Andy.

Danny is couple inches taller then Andy, Eddie noticed this little tidbit.

Danny and Andy share the same middle name which is Templeton though Andy denys this heavily.

There full names are Daniel Templeton Arthur Harper and then Andrew Templeton Vance Harper.

I think that's everything from this little au of mine but the million dollar question is. Should I write a fic?

The thing is you haven’t been exposed to book!Andy and that is why you can’t really like him and you probably will never (unless you’ve actually read the book i’m sorry i dont mean to assume stuff i shouldn’t). In all fairness to Evan, he did best he could with what he was given but the show butchered a lot of Andy’s personality. He is absolutely funny is a very sarcastic and smart way. He really is an incredible father, regardless of how questionable the ways he chose to protect his son might be to you. He is incredibly sensitive and it shows in the way he grieves. He’s a huge college nerd who married a huge college snob and that’s what is somewhat missing from the show, that angle alone would have you hate on his wife even more than one already does and take his side in a heart beat.

Book!Andy is a solid one. Show!Andy is a questionable one at best.

Bestie with all due respect… I don’t WANT to be exposed to book!Andy 😭😭😭 like he might as well not exist to me, that’s how much he isn’t on my radar and never will be 🤧🤧 because Defending Jacob is not a book I’d read in any timeline, I’m afraid. It’s just not my thing.

Also why would I hate his wife just bc his ick ass college nerd self married the college snob? He’s giving pick me energy tbh bestie 💅🏼💅🏼

But I’m strictly talking about the show Andy bc the book Andy may as well not exist to me. Also I hate Andy bc of the vibe he gives bc I have not seen the show or know the plot and I have absolutely no desire to 😭😭 this tends to rub people the wrong way but what can I say… it’s my truth jajdjsjaka

Not even sure what to call this but thank you for the tag @scriberated. Unfortunately, my answers follow a fairly predictable theme...

Last Song: Your Protector by Fleet Foxes

Currently Watching: Absolutely nothing. I watch very little television, streaming, or movies. One reason is because I get so invested in the characters and plots, usually to fixation (especially if there is a good ship), and I go on a binge fest for months, looking up fanfiction, fan videos, building up wild HCs in my head, etc. Sound familiar? Yeah, I'm still in my TROP binge and its not going to end anytime soon.

Currently Reading: I am so behind on fanfic reading but folks can expect I will comment like a madwoman when I get caught up. I also just got the new Andy Serkis narrated version of the Silmarillion on Audible. That counts as reading, right?

Latest Obsession: The Rings of Power and my ridiculously massive head canon saga 'Use Well the Days' that I am writing from the Ainulindale to the Dagor Dagorath. I was not a massive Tolkien nerd before TROP but I am now!

I am not going to add tags here because I plan to take a short hiatus from Tumblr (or so attempt) this weekend so I can be on a writing/posting spree instead. My gift back will be chapters!

This is pretty much a continuation of this post. The post that documents my enjoyment of the Andy Zaltzman/Nish Kumar/Hari Kondabolu combination. The original lineup of the revamped Bugle – in its early days it only had one guest per episode, and Hari was on the first episode, and Nish on the second. This made it interesting to listen to those two episodes in a row. Hari’s episode: jarring, rough, hard to handle after I’d just listened to the entire John Oliver/Andy Zaltzman run where they clicked perfectly, and now instead of John we have this Hari guy, who does not appear to know what show he’s on and could not possibly have less chemistry with Andy. Then the next episode somewhat assuaged my fears, as Nish opened his episode by referencing a long-running Bugle joke (“Hello Buglers and fuck you Chris”), and immediately jumped in with his strong rapport with Andy that he’d built over doing live gigs with him for several years (not in a double act way like John and Andy or anything, they’d just been on the same bills together a lot.

Now, The Bugle does two guests per episode, and every time we get these two together it’s a treat. Which means there was a fucking excellent episode of The Bugle the other day. One of their best in a while. It had that golden lineup – obviously Nish and Hari are both funny individually, but they also work well with each other. Partly because they’re friends and know how to play off each other’s styles really well, but more than that, they make a fun contrast. Nish as the longtime Bugle nerd (arguably, when John Oliver left The Bugle in 2016, Nish Kumar was pretty much waiting in the wings ready to steal his life, by which I mean his regular Bugle spot and his position in Daniel Kitson’s “here’s a stupid thing my friend did” stories) who would probably die for Andy Zaltzman. Hari as the outsider American for whom it’s a running joke that he has never listened to The Bugle and never will; and regards Andy Zaltzman, The Bugle, Bugle listeners, and all of Britain, with a sort of amused, only very affectionate bafflement.

In this episode, we got several running jokes, including Hari bringing back “how dare you ask me that?” as his answer to the initial “how are you?”, which I think he hadn’t done in a while. And some callbacks to original-run Bugle episodes.

Andy Zaltzman: The first of November, 1512, truly a momentus day. The ceiling of the Sistine Chapel was exhibited to the public for the first time. Michaelangelo’s famous piece of DIY. Reactions and reviews on social media at the time – well, it’s fair to say were mixed as reactions on social media tend to be. They included “more cocks and balls than I was expecting from the ceiling”. Another person wrote “I’ve heard it’s good but I haven’t seen it yet”. Classic social media reaction. Someone else wrote “absolute rubbish, the way they used to do ceilings was way better”. Again, these things just don’t change through time. Another comment was “Why do modern artists insist on painting people how they actually look these days? What’s wrong with painting simplified, stylized versions of the human form? Pretentious, elitist, and above all woke. One star.” Again, just classic from social media. Another person wrote “I’m going to fucking kill you, Michaelangelo, you fucking fuck.” Some things never change. And another response was “Do you like betting? If you’d like the best odds on how many people will die in the next cholera outbreak in Rome, click here.” So we’d like to think that civilization progresses, but maybe it doesn’t. As a special treat, a bonus extra at the end of today’s show, we will play you the full story of how Michaelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel, how he replied with an emphatic "Vat I can" to Julius the Second’s question “Can you paint that ceiling, bud?” As revealed, exclusively, way back in issue 34 of The Bugle. A bonus blast from the past. Nish Kumar: Is that Mickey Paintbrush, by any chance? Andy Zaltzman: it is, yes. Issue 34, it was quite early on. Nish Kumar: That takes me back to listening to The Bugle in the toilet at one of my temp jobs.

Followed fairly soon after by:

Nish Kumar: “That Jesus Incident” was the working title of The New Testament, wasn’t it? Andy Zaltzman: I thought it was twelve fucks, one cunt. Nish Kumar: I’m back in the toilet! Andy Zaltzman: That is a long callback.

Note: this is a reference to Bugle episode 127, from September 2010.

Andy Zaltzman: It’s been awfully sweary The Bugle recently. I don’t know why that is. [Producer] Chris, any suggestions? Chris Skinner: Maybe you just need to listen to the words of the Pope. Andy Zaltzman: What did he say? “Don’t fucking swear?” Chris Skinner: Right, that’s now 12 “fucks” and 1 “cunt” today. Actually now I’ve said that that’s 13 -2. Andy Zaltzman: 12 fucks, 1 cunt. That’s pretty much the Jewish attitude to the new testament, isn’t it?

Well I'm at this, here's what the "Mickey Paintbrush" reference meant, from episode 34, in June 2008:

Andy Zaltzman: Bugle feature section now! And 500 years ago this year, Michelangelo, or as he was known by his friends, Mickey Paintbrush, was commissioned to do a little bit of decorating for the Pope. He got his nickname, of course, not because of his artistic skills, but because he had tough, bristly straight hair, which, when he was drunk he would dip in a vat of paint, and headbutt cartoon testicles into the sides of churches. Anyway, the story goes that Julius the Second asked Mickey Paintbrush, “Can you whack a lick of paint on the ceiling in my chapel? It could do with a bit of sprucing up.” “Sure, Papa J,” replied Michaelangelo. “What do you want? How about a bit of a fresco?” “Uh, sure, why not?” replied the pontiff. “Great!” yipped the young artist. “I was thinking of doing something with some dogs playing snooker.” “Uh, right, Mickey P,” said the Pope, awkwardly. “It’s just, uh, I was just kind of hoping for something a little bit more, kind of neutral. Maybe just, you know, some plain off white Magnolia colour. You know, Mick, something that isn’t going to go out of date.” “Right-o, Skipper,” replied Michaelangelo, a little downcast. “Hey, do you mind if I do a couple of little bits from The Bible in the corner?” “Oh, all right,” conceded the Pope. “But just, nothing too flashionable, Mickey.” “Yay!” yelped the 33-year-old 5-time winner of the Golden Chisel Award for Terrific Sculpture. “I’ll go and get my special scaffold.” Four years later, an angry pope banged on the door of the Sistine Chapel with his big staff. “Have you finished yet, Paintbrush?” he shouted. “Yep, all done, Big Man.” The pontiff stormed in, hat akimbo. “What the fuck have you done to my ceiling, you flash fuck?” “Sorry, Pop,” said the artist. “I just got a bit carried away.” “Oh, balls!” winced the Vatican Vicar. “Bloody hell, Mickey! What is your obsession with naked cocks? Shit, I’ve got a Christening to do in twenty minutes, this is going to have to do.” “Okay, boss. Sorry, boss,” mumbled the four-in-one painter, sculptor, architect, and chicken impersonator. “You haven’t heard the last of this!” blasted the Catholic kahuna. “Give me that paintbrush! That’s confiscated!" Pope Julius turned to go to his dressing room. Just then, something on the ceiling caught his eye. “Hang on, that looks like… no, it can’t be. Is that my wang? Mickey Paintbrush, have you painted my papal prong on that nudie man? Come here! Come here, you little… oh, no, he’s got away. I knew I should have got Da Vinci to do this. I knew it.” So, to commemorate half a millennium since this historic moment in the history of history, we present to you: The Bugle Italian section. John Oliver: …Andy, that to become a regular feature. Historical Storytime. Misinform your children with Andy Zaltzman.

So that was the opening, to this episode, already full of Nish and Andy doing callbacks at each other while Hari mentions again that not only was he not listening to the original John/Andy Bugle in toilets in 2013, but he doesn't listen to it today, or understand what anyone involved with it is doing.

They brought back discussions of The Bugle in general throughout the episode. There were multiple instances of Nish Kumar taking on the voice of all listening Bugle nerds by admiringly referring to something as "classic" or "vintage" Zaltzman. ie:

Andy Zaltzman: Huge celebrations across the country to commemerate one year of Rishi Sunak as Prime Minister. I'll just go through all the achievements of the little fella since he took over as Interm Prime Minister in the after-shite of Boris Johnson and Liz Truss. [two second pause] How would you assess his first year? A year in which he's basically captured voters' imagination like a baby penguin captures a polar bear in a pair of fishnet stockings. In other words, not at all, and he's gone about it in quite a weird and unsettling way."

Nish is right to call that vintage Zaltzman! I hate saying this because I don’t blame him at all for it, but to be honest, there was a while in the second half of 2022/early 2023 when it sounded like Andy was struggling a bit for material. He was repeating a lot of stuff (not that he never repeats stuff normally, but not as much as this), and some of his new stuff felt fairly by the numbers.

Like I said, I don’t blame him, because he’s been doing this forever. The Bugle has been running since October 2007, with the occasional week off, sometimes a month off in the summertime, about a year off in mid-2015 to mid-2016 when John Oliver split like an unreliable father, but mainly, it’s been running almost every week for years and years. And The Bugle isn’t like some podcasts where the guests and the host can just turn up and make shit up as they go along, or trade stock questions and stock answers. They have to write material beforehand and be ready to present. Andy shows up to every single episode with at least three or four completely new monologues on various topics, and a bunch of other prepared lines. It is fucking impressive, the rate at which he turns over material. He’s allowed to have an off month, or six. It wasn’t even that bad, just a little less inventive than usual. Also, we got a very reasonable explanation for why when he announced in early 2023 that his father had just died, so he maybe had a few other things on his mind besides writing new absurd similes every week (RIP Zack Zaltzman, I’ve always enjoyed Andy’s stories about how he could become a comedian because his dad was a sculptor and therefore had no grounds to tell his son to get a real job).

Anyway, the point is that Andy Zaltzman is back. He’s been on fire for the last few months, writing his usual inventive stories and lines every week (minus the month off the took in the summer where he didn’t write about anything but cricket), and they’ve been great. He had a few really good ones in this latest episode, and I liked hearing Nish acknowledge that. While Hari, of course, couldn’t give a shit.

All cumulating in this exchange from the end of a long discussion between Andy and Nish – where Hari notably shut up for an extended period – about the British political situation:

Hari Kondabolu: You guys are talking about British politics so I tuned out a while ago. You guys talking about that Colin Firth movie, is that what we’re talking about? That’s a while ago, fellas. Andy Zaltzman: Sunak did say that his government has achieved a lot in its first year. And I can cut him a bit of slack for that, because, I mean, what could he have said? I mean, he can’t come out and say, “My government has done very slightly less shit-ly.” He couldn’t have said, “Well we’ve achieved nothing, which is, to be fair, a vast improvement on my two immediate predecessors.” I mean, it’s clearly a tough gig for him, taking over, and I don’t think he’s played it very well. It’s like being a door-to-door hairdresser for a struggling door-to-door hairdressing business, but then turning up with one pair of scissors sticking out of your forehead, and then another rammed into your ear, blood running down your face, and a squirrel’s tail gaffer taped to your scalp, knocking on someone’s door, saying, “Can I interest you in a haircut?” It’s a tough sell. It’s like being a snooker player, tucked in behind the green, needing a three-cushion escape shot to hit the last red, fifty points down in the frame, so needing snookers anyway. He chalks the cue, he takes a deep breath. He reaches into his waistcoat pocket, he pulls out an iguana, plonks it on the table, and says, “Run, my pretty. Run.” That is, essentially, the situation that our Prime Minister has been in. Nish Kumar: That is the essence of Andy Zaltzman. Given that there is a substantial listenership to this podcast from outside the United Kingdom, and yet, when we move on to the section about specifics on United Kingdom politics, instead of trying to open it out, he doubles down, and tries to explain things with a snooker metaphor. [my brain is requiring me to add an editor’s note here – he means “simile”] Andy Zaltzman: I like to think of it as educational, Nish. Hari Kondabolu: I mean, to be honest, a bunch of our listeners are Anglophiles. They love this shit. It gives them like a secret wisdom, it makes them feel better than other people. I’ve met these people after shows, I know what they’re about. They like puns, Nish, they like puns.

...

...Go fuck yourself, Hari. You don't know me. How very dare you? I have no fucking idea what you're talking about.

I definitely didn’t love the idea that, when talking politics to my friends in 2009, I could reference British Chancellor of the Exchequer Alistair Darling, making me sound cultured and worldly while my friends only knew the Canadian and American politicians. Of course, I only knew about Alistair Darling because I listened to The News Quiz every Friday, a thing I did not because I was cultured or worldly, but because I was in love with Sandi Toksvig.

You will also notice that I tell this story about how I was (definitely not) like this as a teenager, because I think that sounds more acceptable than admitting I’m exactly the same now. The person I’m obsessed with enough to bring me to The News Quiz is now Andy Zaltzman, but not much else has changed.

So, there was more to this episode than just people replaying established patterns in amusing ways. Throughout the episode, all three people had a bunch of good material that walked a really, really difficult line of trying to write topical comedy when the top story in the news is related to ongoing genocide. I think they did it well, acknowledging that there are some parts of it that shouldn’t be trivialized with comedy but it’s still worth trying to pick it apart and point out the absurdities of the rhetoric. They did it as well as anyone could, I think. But I have chosen to ignore all that and write a multi-page post about how much I enjoy the recurring patterns in comedians' attitudes toward The Bugle and each other.

It's a good thing they have going. Never change, Andy. For the love of God, please never change.
