One of my least favorite lines in season two, maybe the entire series. Way to undo some of Kenny's most important character development in just a few words.

#ask #the walking dead game #twdg #twdg kenny #twdg ben paul #this is the reason i think it would've been better for kenny to not return in season two #let his character arc be done

name a line more iconic than "nigel, darling- oh hello- there's been a bit of a spillage" you cant.

#the six idiots just being casually queer all the time will never not shock me #especially in the wake of paul 'that's his boss' simms and his bullshit #like. how easy it can be. #and how committed they are to making their queer characters just as big of freaks as the straight people #like yeah they're two heads sticking out a weird blob and one of them is the oracle #and you literally only see them in one episode #AND they're gay. what of it? #ben willbond queer character count 2 #that weird jester with the little puff balls as debbie walks through the square counts. to me. #wait are we counting vex. bc then it's 3. and it's episode 1 #yonderland

what’s interesting about both versions of for the sake of a child is how painfully clear is the fact that it’s marty’s vocal that was recorded later. cause, we can tell that meryl sung her version once (that is, for the versions that were professionally released), and just listen at paul’s acting - sure, it’s angry, as it should be for the character, but just listen to his “y-you can shut your little trap!” and “i have to object”. you can tell that it’s a reaction to his dialogue with meryl. and marty, well. he’s just singing. no actual voice reactions to her.

thoughts on march 1, 2023 evening phantom performance

the opening line of my notes on this is literally "julia was amazing, ben was on point! paul was there."

i'm so sorry i just don't like his raoul, he seems really bored during think of me and annoyed during the rooftop scene- two points where he just fell really flat for me. him and julia don't have a ton of chemistry either so it's kinda a perfect storm if you're a phantom/christine fan

i could NOT stop watching ted keegan during hannibal, his reactions were entertaining and he actually encourages elizabeth welch's princess to volunteer for carlotta's role after she leaves. it was just really fun to try and look out for the various characterizations from the ensemble

there was a point in angel of music where the white robe thing got caught on julia's hannibal skirt so it didn't fan out to make the white dress she wears for the first lair. it was still caught when she got up from her seat, but then at the end when polly baird and her held hands, polly very subtly pulled the robe for her and it fell halfway, then fell fully into place a few seconds later. this really does not matter but i find little variations like this really interesting so i'm writing this for the one person out there who likes that stuff too :)

some laughter during the STYDI crawl. i've said it before and i'll say it again, i will live and die by this moment. i can't describe to you the intense joy i got when i first saw jeremy stolle do the crawl live in december- it was so creepy and pathetic, i immediately became obsessed. so yes, even though ben's crawl looks a bit funny comparatively, i will still defend it till my dying breath

kanisha was funny to watch during sitzprobe, her mouth fell open in shock when carlotta was insulting the don juan score. her ensemble character is overall very feisty and i love it

let's talk about ben's PONR. this man was SUFFERING. like hyperventilating, panting, shoulders rising and falling with his chest with such intensity while julia sang her verse and he was on the bench. his fingers were moving so much, he had his palms facing up the entire time so he didn't grip his knees/the robe (thinking about franc d'ambrosio.......) which is really a shame BUT he's still so good. when julia went to feel his mask up at the end of the number (fuck you new PONR blocking), he kind of threw up his hands from his lap in a "you've gotta be kidding me" gesture or like "really? now?" and it was hilarious. he did something similar and threw his hands up a bit when she unhooded him too. these two moves weren't something he did the second night i saw him, so it was an interesting choice i guess? idk the best way i can describe his PONR is just "feral"

not as devastating a final lair as the next night with ben and emilie, but this final lair was pretty good too. when julia said the "please raoul it's useless" line, she had an emphasis on "useless" and said it like an insult, while looking at ben with a kind of frustration. ben's second "i love you" seemed really hard for him to get out which killed me, and he sobbed into the veil too (just less audibly than the 3/2 show). i could probably jog my memory with more notes about this part but i genuinely can't find the emotional strength to put myself through it again

#feel bad for not liking paul's raoul but i. have to be honest i'm sorry #his vocals are great! it's just his acting for this character #anyway i'll be posting the audio from this show tonight or tomorrow probably #just wanted to get these notes out first #now crawling back to the depression that seeing ben and emilie's final lair has given me #save #phantom of the opera #poto

me every time I think about the current state of The Amazing Spider-Man comics: Here’s How Peter Can Still Win

#spider-man #I’m concocting schemes and plans that would bring it out on top I swear #hire me marvel but only after Quesada is fired #I’ll have Dan Slott doing letters while I’m fixing their fucking mistakes #it ain’t fuckin much but it’s honest work #listen so we have to reveal that current MJ is a fake. go animated series on them. #fuck them kids. fuck former aid to genocide with a boring ass name Paul #give the Jackpot thing to someone else. it’s a good gimmick but please for the love of god not on MJ #fix poor fucking Ben Reilly and maybe just let him stay dead #tackling the Parker Industries bullshit is gonna be harder #but it all culminates in beating the everloving shit out of Mephisto #Peter and MJ reunite and are once again best friends #and this one could be controversial but hear me out: Peter and MJ polyamorous relationship on and off w Felicia Hardy #since Harry is alive again (even though it’s stupid) maybe him too #things gradually fall back in place as they were before #Peter isn’t ‘dated’ bc he’s been around since the fucking 60s and he finally has a chance to grow up and be an adult again #and we focus on the other plethora of teen superheroes that are now around #bc Spider-Man may have been the first teen superhero but he doesn’t own it and the point of his character is not ‘youth’ #listen. I’m so anguished every time I think about the comics. #I don’t want it to be destroyed I don’t want it to be irreparable #it sucks that any other marvel characters can keep running but Spider-Man is just going straight in the dumpster bc of idiots at the top

Is finding Merula really that important? It sounds like you have Ministry work to do.

Finding her is important

My work is more important

Best Mate and I were discussing Paul Atreides (as you do) and the point she expertly made really is that the Greek tragedy is quite structurally foreign now. The pathos and unfairness you're meant to feel for someone who is a victim and perpetrator of the tragic cycle is read as like, misdeveloped character, rather than a feeling to engage with and derive catharsis from.

Why is it unfair? Why does it hurt so much? It's not about what they could've done, it's not a tragedy that you could change by not being an idiot or by making a better decision here or there, it's something more essential than that. I think that's part of the modern misdirection (in say, mainstream media) because the fault line isn't one decision or one slip of bad writing.

In some ways it feels like a personal betrayal narratively.

#perhaps I'm dismissive #of how people grapple with that #because I can think of many characters with Greek tragedy-lite elements whose fandoms are the subject of my ire #I can hear the 'but you like Cinder who obviously has a tragic story' you know nothing #'you complain about Ben's death' there's a time place and genre #for tragedy #mindless cynicism and breaking the myth is not it #tragedy is a celebration for me #Paul's tragedy saddens me... but I love him #and his story #it's a celebration of despair #it feels like a party #it's so cathartic #the end of Messiah made me cry... it was all he could do #he had terrified me #I was scared of him #and then he was kind to me and Did That #I still want him back though hahahahahahha

I’m a little over 8000 words into Chapter 154 of “Madferit: The Novel” (aka Addie’s Story) with the goal of having it written and posted by Christmas of 2023…but my thoughts have been interrupted by “In The Heart Of The Sea”. I just got the book from my local library the other day and just finished reading the first chapter. This of course after I’ve been scouring the Wikipedia pages and other websites related to it.

I blame The Great White Whale, Cillian Murphy’s shaggy hair and earring, and Paul Anderson with a man bun playing someone other than a thuggish criminal for once. What can I say? As much as I adore the Peaky Blinders look, this has been a lovely change of scenery. 😏

Will it inspire some sort of fanfiction? Maybe. Maybe not. It would be nice to see some sort of crossover though. Or maybe something completely on its own.

Also, if you have any fanfiction story recommendations for this fandom, please share! It seems pretty small from what I’ve seen but I haven’t looked that hard. I also haven’t given the Cillian Murphy, Paul Anderson, etc. fandoms much of a chance either so I’d love some recommendations for them too! Something beyond Peaky Blinders would be wonderful which is hard to find for Paul. Thanks in advance!

[survivedsarchived]

the thing that i really am most interested in exploring with paul is his life post-rescue of the yellowjackets. i've been operating under the assumption ben doesn't make it out - i'm still surprised he survived s2 - and that will continue to be my canon for paul since it could be years before it's ever confirmed otherwise. i'm just obsessed with the concept. how he won't hear they're rescued until it's on the news. he'll read ben's name listed among the dead in the paper. he'll only ever get the sanitized story, the Lie, left to consume speculation and rumor because he's not family so he gets nothing from the interviews, the investigation. if there's a funeral for ben, he probably won't go, because ben (most likely) wasn't out to his family - so how could he insert himself into their personal grief? he has no claim to ben. he doesn't get anything from ben's house. all he has left of him is whatever ben left at paul's, a folder of newspaper clippings about the plane's disappearance, and his memories.

he probably becomes a little obsessed; he explores the fringes of conspiracy theory, wondering if any of it's true. if that's what happened to ben. he eventually ends up dealing with it the only way he knows how - channeling his feelings into words. it's snatches of thought at first, that inevitably becomes a fictionalized account of what maybe, possibly, happened to ben - names and dates and the circumstances all tweaked, of course, to not seem inspired by/related, but he's a man with a connection to wiskayok; of course some yellowjackets obsessives recognize the tragedy as inspiration.

(i wonder if some of the survivors would hate paul, if they hear about the book.)

#not really a meta not really an ooc post but a secret third thing (me just talking) #anyway. this is all to say. i won't really be writing paul with any yj characters (ben. ofc. is an exception) #i think it'd be too forced and awkward and i just don't see a way for it to really happen #all interactions will be crossover basically #and he just deserves friends. so. come be his friend <3 #ch: p. bowman. #meta: p. bowman.

I made playlists for my boys.

There's a small amount of overlap because a few songs fit both of them

Dead cabin guy and his technicolor dreamcoat have haunted me since the wardrobe reveal in season two, and today im going to make it everyone's problem.

Travis wears the coat first. He and Natalie take the blessing and go out to look for Javi. Travis hallucinates (prophesies?) that Javi is dead and buried beneath the snow, but Natalie shows him it's only a fox. Travis finds the strange, mossy tree stump. The next day Travis has strong feelings about which direction is best to search for Javi in, and we don't see more of him until Nat reveals the bloody pants. Not that weird, all things considered. New season, new wardrobe additions. Hiking on a caloric deficit with PTSD, you'll probably hallucinate. Pretty standard stuff.

Then Nat wears the coat. She takes it to lay Jackie's bones to rest at the crash site, and while she wears it she sees (hallucinates? prophesies? I'm not sure!) the white moose that they'll later lose to the lake (ergo the hunt, ergo Javi dies for real but more on that later).

We get to Old Wounds, the hunting competition, and Lottie wears the coat now. You see where I'm going with this but just to be thorough: she enters the realm of death dreams, talks with Laura Lee, almost freezes to death.

Episode five. Melissa wears the coat. Maybe that's not important! Maybe it's just to show that they all share the wardrobe, and that the side characters are as equally All In This Together as the main characters are. Or it could mean something that a peripheral character, wearing important wardrobe, framed in antlers (not unlike Travis in 2.01), has the line "maybe he did die, and that's his ghost." It's a little suspicious, and at this point starts to feel like a pattern.

Who wears it next, who wore it best!? That's right baby, it's Paul! For his dreamworld drifter, hallucination hunk Coach Ben Scott. Nicholas Urfe himself. Ben spends almost all of his time in a dream, until *drumroll please* Paul, very pointedly, takes the coat and walks out the door. "Where do you think you are, Ben?" he puts the coat on. "You had to have known you couldn't stay here forever. [...] What matters now is that you aren't welcome here anymore." Following Paul means committing to death (to dream), and until interruption that's the choice Ben makes. Because letting Paul (and the coat) go would mean committing entirely to reality.

Of course, the pièce de résistance is something I didn't even notice until I went looking for it. The first dozen times I watched, I thought that after Lottie's beating Shauna brought her a blanket. "Lottie's cold." But she doesn't. She brings her the coat. Lottie is laying with it when, in a fever dream, she witnesses/hallucinates/prophesies parts of the hunt.

It's there again (on the back of the chair) when she sits by the fire and speaks for the wilderness, appointing Nat their queen. Ben watches, having woken from the dream himself, as they all bow to Natalie and leave reality behind for good.

Of course, there are a lot of times when characters hallucinate strange things in the cabin while not wearing the coat, because they're all starving to death and traumatized. Mari. Shauna. Akilah. But in addition to that, it seems like a pattern worth noting that in each instance where a character wears the technicolor coat, the line between the real and the imagined seems to blur with more ease. Does dead cabin guy's technicolor dreamcoat help the Yellowjackets connect to the dream realm?

I'll be brief here with the biblical parallel: blah blah Joseph is the favorite son (you were always its favorite), his father gives him a technicolor coat (they're nothing special, they don't change color in the cold or anything). blah blah Joseph starts having prophetic dreams etc etc his jealous brothers throw Joseph down a pit (the wilderness chose) and bring his bloodstained coat back as false proof of his death (hanging on a branch. a couple miles back). You get my drift.

Does it mean anything? Who knows. But in a series where wardrobe is such an integral part of the storytelling, it felt worth paying attention to.
