#haha that rhymed

@desdemonasarahmckenzie -> @aerialworms

So. I’ve had the same url for the entire time I’ve been on tumblr, since I joined in 2013.

I’m usually very resistant to change, but lately I’ve realised that it might be misleading, since it sounds like a real (and feminine) name. Desdemona Sarah McKenzie is actually the name of an OC I created when I was 13, shortly before I joined Tumblr! She was an orphan born in Greece who turned into a chimera when she got angry, like the Hulk. I was going to make a whole comic about her but I never got around to it. I chose Desdemona and McKenzie because of their meanings (I think it was that McKenzie meant protector and Desdemona meant princess or something similar) and gave her my best friend at the time’s name as her middle name.

Anyway, a couple of people have (understandably!) assumed it was my actual name and it’s kinda gotten to me, since I’m no longer a girl. It’s long and unwieldy, too, although I do like the way the syllables sound when I read it. I was going to wait until my ten year anniversary on tumblr, but it bugged me too much. I still love it, but it’s time for it to go. I’m still here, and that’s all that matters!

All this is to pay my dues to my url after 9 and a half(ish) years of service, and to announce my new url, which I took from a medieval bestiary’s description of spiders: “The spider is an aerial worm that takes its nourishment from the air.” I’ve spent weeks thinking of possible urls and not finding one that fits but then I stumbled across that and thought it was funny, so hey! New url!

By the way, while I have you all here: my pronouns are they/them and you can call me by my new url or Arthur or Artie :)

Here’s to many more years of tomfoolery on this here webbed site with you all!

#artie talks #no-one is obligated to read all this but i have Emotions about my old url okay? i had to give it a good send off #I'm gonna change my username on ao3 to match #cause i got misnamed (again understandably) over there too #i am unknowable and my gender is a question mark #but they/them will do #haha that rhymed #me #favouritest

I physically can’t handle breathing smoke and ik I can’t be with a partner that smokes

But by all that is good I’d take my chances with Wolfwood

And I said, “Hello, Satan

I believe it’s time to go.”

#my art #southern gothic #been too depressed to create anything but I’ve made this today #the little rhyme has been in my head for a few weeks #spilled ink #I guess do people still use that tag for poetry or am I old lol #I’ve been writing in my journal pretty much daily and sometimes spitting out little poems like this #not much energy for art #so I’m not gonna pressure myself to keep it up #I’m just gonna enjoy the fact that I made this #I hope ur all well <33 #the devil #by the way this isn’t meant to be fan art of Robert Johnson #but it’s inspired by him and the stories of musicians who sell their souls to the devil #I am still thinking very hard and have mostly drafted a cornstalk fiddle comic #god knows how long it’ll stay in a notebook haha #my comic #comics

Guys I Might Have Three Nickels

I've been watching "Agatha Christie's Marple" for the past few days and it's pretty good! Marple adaptations all tend to have a better caliber of actors than a lot of bog-standard mystery shows (looking at you, "Madame Blanc"), and while Joan Hickson's Marple is right up there with David Suchet's Poirot and Jeremy Brett's Holmes as "literally can never be beaten, these are the best anyone's done it," both Geraldine McEwan and Julia McKenzie do a fantastic job as Miss Marple.

Then I got to "The Secret of Chimneys," Season 5 episode 2

and guys

Guys

So there's a murder of a viscount, like there is, and this detective Finch rolls up and immediately spots Miss Marple (in her NIGHTIE! standing at the window like some kind of hussy, honestly Jane) and doffs his cap to her with that little smile that makes you go, "huh."

At this point I've watched a couple dozen Miss Marple episodes where she goes through detectives like wildfire and this guy's supposed to be a "*guru*" so I'm expecting some battle of the egos or something and like, Stephen Dillane is great! But bleh, I might have to skip this one.

Then my dude asks Miss Marple to SHOW HIM THE BODY, with a pleased little smile at her as she goes "uhhhhhhhh but my knitting?" (He even does that thing where you use someone's honorific and wait for them to give you their name, and that's when I was like "ohhh this bitch knows exactly who she is.") What follows is what I can only describe as a meet-cute in the secret passageway where the viscount was shot (and in fact the body is STILL THERE) and where Miss Marple literally asks the police equivalent of "is there a Mrs Finch" and he looks at her like this:

At which point I'm like "ohhh my dude not only knows who she is, he deliberately came here without a sergeant so he could draft her," and sure enough he just starts...handing her pieces of evidence like "hey babe can you decipher this note for me thanks love you" while Miss Marple is like, "this approval and camaraderie coming from a cop... not sure if want."

Next is a series of romantic strolls through the gardens while they discuss murder, during which Finch reveals his undying love I mean his research into Miss Marple and the "dozen case files" of her previous exploits that he's collected like some deranged fanboy. Miss Marple responds to this by BLUSHING LIKE A SCHOOLGIRL and stammering about how pish tosh it's nothing really, and I couldn't find a gif of it but he's staring at her like this:

Yeah I bet u r tempted

He also makes a half-hearted attempt at negging her "amateur sleuth" status, only to then immediately assure her that he makes like, so much money being a big fancy detective and can keep her in all the yarn and garden seed she could ever desire.

There's also a late-night tryst at the compost pile right after Finch has been (mildly) poisoned and Miss Marple is like "men are so weak" as she roots through the garbage for clues.

Not how he wanted their first date to go D:

The next morning there's another murder which: bummer, but also allows the two of them to read love letters together and for Finch to give Miss Marple the following look as she explains how secret assignations among lovers can "quicken the ardor":

Miss Marple then goes onto solve the murders and btw hands over the priceless diamond that's been literally missing for two literal decades that she found in her spare time. The entire scene features Finch looking at her like this:

After the dust settles, Finch and Miss Marple have a lovely moment where he calls himself "another one of your casualties," then super casually mentions that he's probably going to have to go on assignment to use the diamond in a daring international espionage case and I can't decide if he's asking Miss Marple to go with him or simply trying to show her that he is cool and smart and would make an excellent wife, but either way the episode ends with her turning him down and Jane, we need to talk about your priorities.

Anyway I've already written 2K about the subsequent 10-year epistolary romance these two have following this episode because I make poor choices.

#agatha christie's marple #miss marple #julia mckenzie #stephen dillane #special thanks to introvertedpedant for their exceptional gifs #anyway yeah I fully did the 'haha what if I jokingly shipped them' and then 30 minutes later was like 'oh no' #miss marple rhymes with parple #seriously though what's the explanation for these choice #other than dillane reading through the script and saying to mckenzie #'ok so I'm gonna play him like SO SO down bad for you is that cool' #and mckenzie saying 'you jump I jump jack'

Something that brings great comfort to me is that I inherited the same mole my mom had just above her left collar bone. Same place and everything. Don’t ask me why I find it so comforting, but I do.

Hey, hey! RnR not requested! (Patreon)

#Doodles #SCII #DAX #ZEX #Does anyone still use RnR lol #I think I was a little too late for that but in my brief stint on FF.net I did get a couple reviews so *shruggles* #ANYway lol #The topic of VUX poetry came up and it would not leave me alone #But at the same time it is so hard to English-phoneticize VUK ZIX into my preferred poetry method! #So I gave up and went with a playground chant lol #I also wasn't sure which direction it would be read in apart from bottom-up :0 #Japanese is top-down right-to-left so maybe it's inverse?? I don't know! #That's what I went with this time anyhow lol #Also making up rules on the spot lol - ''a'' is always contextually inferred by its surroundings #Have I thought about the implications of inferred subject/singular vs. plural phrasing? No! Give me some time tho ♪ #Lol #I have also pretty firmly come to the conclusion that -ing sounds just aren't a thing lol #At least not written and not comfortably spoken #You could force the sound but it's exactly what it says on the tin - forced #So the rhyme-scheme is a bit funny haha - that rhyme doesn't translate at all! But it is still fun to write a little ship-poem hehe #ZEX does not approve but it's not his poem is it! Tentacles to yourself! Don't stick your trunk where it's not wanted! #I do love when DAX is silly and lovestruck haha

I wish Walter White’s name was Walter MethManufacturer like how Hannibal Lecter’s name rhymes with cannibal. Then when he finally gets accused of meth manufacturing people can be like you’re just saying that because his name is Walter MethManufacturer. Which is what I assume happened with Hannibal.

#“haha i get it because his name rhymes w cannibal be so fr” #thomas harris was so galaxy brained for that one lmao #alternatively walter meantojesse or walter badhusbandandfather #walter white #walter methmanufacturer #hannibal lecter #breaking bad #brba
