#i didnt think i had this many thoughts about scotty

[daftmooncretin]

imagine being scotty in tos. every day your friend group goes on dangerous yet exciting adventures to new planets but you can never go because they always make you babysit the ship. also you have to stay on facetime with them the whole time in case they need a lift. you are the eternal designated driver. the seventh wheel. you dont mind as much as you should though because you sort of want to fuck the ship

#an a24 film #kidding i know babysitting the ship is his job and he loves it #i do think about scottu alot though because hes always excluded from the triumvirute and we can assume chekov uhura and sulu are all close #because they are bridge crew so scotty’s not as close to them either #no wonder scotty wants to fuck the ship #hes the seventh wheel:( #i guess he can hang with bones if you belive the mcscott shippers #still i would not want to be scotty even though he is baller af #he has no bestie on the enterprise except the warp drive #i didnt think i had this many thoughts about scotty #weird #star trek tos #tos #montgomery scott #scotty tos #star trek #jim kirk #spock #bones mccoy #the triumvirate

quark watches star trek season 1 episode 22

spirk flirting

hahahahahahha these writers thought space travel would happen in the 90s

how can they tell if people are breathing on that ship

WORLD WAR III IN THE 90S???? IT WAS ABOUT EUGENICS?????

mccoy and spock bickering. i reiterate: mccoy thinks this is hot, spock doesnt give a shit

whos this lady am i supposed to care about her

spaceship coma pods look like those japanese pod hotels

scotty would "love to tear this baby apart" (he means the earth ship)

hahahahahahahahaha these writers thought we could travel past light speed in 2018

this girl was ogling kirks tits i think

scotty dont say "oriental"

what is this dude wearing. is this like a fucking gold mesh onesie. its so slutty

dudes been asleep for 200 years. ok

oh my god his tits

why did we need to know how many of the sleeping pod people were women

the 90s were a violent part of our history apparently

this dude is a Super Human from the Eugenics Era. horrifying!

i swear this guy had longer hair a second ago

god this episode better not be racist about this dude being indian

mccoy is so funny. gives advice to the dude choking him about how to kill him by cutting a certain artery. alright man.

they have this dude in the sluttiest shirt ive ever seen. full cleavage

he better not be evil

his name is khan? wasnt there a movie about this dude. and his wrath

this doesnt bode well

spock talks abt how having greater ability translates to greater ambition. yeah i think khan is evil

khan leave the girl alone. why are you being so mean.

dont touch her hair!!!

dont grab her like that!!!!

UGH SHE THINKS THIS IS HOT

why is kirks formal attire green

wow khan is incapable of wearing a non-slutty outfit

him making out with that girl would be fun if the music wasnt so sinister about it and also if he wasnt grabbing her so much

yeah hes definitely evil

star trek says dictatorships bad

Blue Drink

khan has just constant cleavage

suddenly khan is all about consent

suddenly consent is all about asking permission

i hate him

the image of an indian man seducing a white woman to take control of her just isnt that great. like i know its the 60s but still

ok khan was a literal dictator in the 90s

spock says dictatorships bad

so how about we just shoot this guy out into space

khan says eugenics good

i get hes evil and this plot is compelling but why did he have to be Notably Not White

khan doesnt have cleavage anymore :0 terrifying

woooaaahh khans escaped???? thats craaaaazyyyyy

suffocation before surrender

why didnt khan just kill them

good to see a brown dude extra among the good guys so we know the casting director wants us to think theyre not saying all brown dudes are evil

uhura is so cool. go girl

how is kirk a damsel in distress so often

khan hates friendship

"the captain is dead" no hes not

thank you for betraying khan history girl your horniness has not completely taken over your soul

"captain ive saved your life but please dont kill him" nevermind i hate you

Deadly Neurotoxin

show of brute strength by bending phaser like a spoon is sillier than khan thinks

yes kirk kill him with your thighs

/whacks u with a tube/

WHY ARE YOU LETTING HIM GO

WHY ARE YOU GIVING HIM THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE OVER A PLANET

WHY

history girl i hate you. dont go with him. idiot

JUST KILL HIM

UGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

welp. see you later khan. and your wrath.

paradise lost reference was ok

[smileymikey]

Hey! Wonder what you think of The Wilds S2? Were u satisfied with the girls’ scenes? Or what’s your overall take/review. 😊 love to hear your thoughts coz your fics are really awesome!

hi anon!!!

i'll put all my proper thoughts below the read-more so i dont clog the dash loool

i have to say, on the most part i really enjoyed s2!! i loved all the girls' scenes, like every single scene from dot's birthday filled me with so so much joy. they have such good chemistry all of them and they all play off each other so well and im beyond obsessed with them all (and fatin's always been my bff but after this season. she IS my bff. i'm definitely not hers but she's mine)

and shoni!! they were so so sweet!! i think i still would love to have seen the build-up between the (like how did toni feel about shelby going from hating her to loving her in s1?) but they killed every single scene they were in. the fact that in the bg of most group scenes they were cuddling or holding hands was just so 🥺🤩 they absolutely BODIED me and im obsessed with them !!!!!

(also. dont even get me started on leatin. many ptyderacal shrieks about that one)

as for the boys, i'll be really honest, i'm a lil torn about them. i think unfortunately it was sort of a lose/lose situation with them - the only way we as an audience would grow to love them as much as the girls is if they got the girls' amount of screen time (aka a whole season) but no one would watch if there were no girls, so i mostly just feel like we didn't know enough about any of them because they had to split the time. (except raf!!! i understand why but i wish we'd gotten a raf-style ep for all the boys, like not lumping scotty and bo and then kirin and ivan together, because of all of them i think raf was the character i felt i knew the most about)

(like josh!!!! we didnt get an iota about josh as far as i remember!!)

anyway, as a result, i felt like this season felt a little..... disconnected in a way?? like i enjoyed it THOROUGHLY don't get me wrong, but you were balancing the boys' scenes, who we don't know much about, with the girls' scenes, which, esp near the beginning, felt kinda... aimless in a way? like dont get me wrong, i loved them, my favourite type of tv is the tv where nothing happens and friends just sit around shooting the breeze, but there was a moment when the girls were talking about food babies and someone (i think fatin) goes "this has been a low-point for banter" and it just felt so startling almost self-aware/meta, like the writers knew that most of it was just filler fluff? like. this is gonna sound really dumb ashdhsdfjds. but a lot of the scenes in the season felt like me when i was still writing my percabeth fic and needed every chapter to be at least 3k but had no idea what the chapter would be like, so inane aimless things would happen just to buff up the word count.

anyway ZHDFDSJF this has been very long but sum-up:

loved all the girls scenes even if they felt kinda fillery bc i love the girls and am obsessed with them.

i enjoyed the boys' scenes but i need to know more about them, none of them felt fleshed out

there were other things i kinda wanted to be touched on that weren't, like shoni's backstory (how did they go from loving to hating each other?), rachel adjusting without an arm, and also martha being catatonic (i needed more closure to this i think)

kirin startlingly grew on me

leatin rights!!!! also leah, rachel and fatin best characters this season so true!!!

shoni bodied me in every scene. i mean that like dream sequence in the last ep??? HELLO?????

the girls singing home with leachel's instruments was my favourite scene maybe in cinematic history

#ask #the wilds #this got very long and rambly ashfjadsfj but apparently i had a lot of thoughts who knew

🖊 i love hearing about your characters i think they're so neat!!! ^_^

hshAWW Thank you so much! Time for me to talk about (Drumroll)

SCOTTIE !!!!!!

She is the star of a totally separate story about disjointed childhood memories, purgatories, generational curses, and mercy killings. This is currently my least developed OC story (Because i had only just started reworking it before i hit my big wall with art and stories) so you’ll have to forgive me if theres any gaps!

scottie is 23, she’s a girl, and she lives in a mid-sized midwestern town with her mom and adopted brother, mateo!

she works as a waitress at a local diner, and she spent her teen years running around with the popular crowd, but besides “wanting to be well liked”, she didnt really have any aspirations, so she’s just hanging out right now in the town she grew up in! all of her friends from high school that she worked really hard to be Normal enough to hang out with are now off on their own things so shes a bit lost and left behind feeling

she is also a hobby artist! she likes to make collages and poetry  out of organic materials , like bones from the woods and dried flowers , and like, newspaper clippings and stuff. shes very artsy. she doesnt want to do it as her job but she makes really cool stuff!

shes currently trying (with her brother) to set up an arts coalition in her small town... there arent really that many artists , though, so its an extremely small group : P

she has autism and adhd, and spent most of her life being super isolated and considered weird both because of her strange family situation and also because of her Weird Brain Stuff... she only ever had one friend as a kid, back before she repressed her self enough to make more friends , and that friend mysteriously disappeared when both of them were like 11! its a big mystery to her because no one in the town seems to remember that kid she was friends with... (she only met her adoptive brother when they were both like 16)

when the story starts, she will find a strange trail of paper planes leading into the woods one day when trying to find supplies for her art..and follow them to find a strange cathedral in the woods :D what happens next who knows...

she loves fashion and has a semi popular fashion instagram...her favorite colors are yellow and green and she likes to put together cute cottage-y outfits a lot

her art is more Genuine than shes comfortable showing so she used to hide it from her friends...her friends (The Popular Kids ) would probably have supported her but she was always of the mind that she needed to  Hide All True Aspects Of Her Personality in order to maintain those relationships. Her art is usually about The self ... so its too much of an insight into her real thoughts to show to most people. even at her arts coalition (Called the happy thoughts initiative) she doesnt really share her art , she just pretends shes there to support her brothers stuff lol

her brother is her best friend here they are togehter! they like to talk about art and stories together and hes pretty much the only person she expresses herself freely around...but as a result the two of them have a really esoteric relationship . always teasing eachother and communicating in ways that are so obtuse that onlookerss would be baffled and afraid

she needs lots of alone time so she often vanishes into the woods for hours and hours at a time. her mother is a huge dote though so she cant be gone for too long, but its normal for her to spend most of her down time out in nature in order to recuperate from  how difficult it is for her to keep up social appearances

she works very hard to be kind and sweet to people and cares a lot about being liked!

she likes macabre stuff she would probably be goth in a different life... she likes horror movies + weird nature shit more than anything + is full of facts about weird scary things

her favorite food is peach pie :P  she literally started working at the diner where she works just so she could have it whenever she wanted !

thats scottie shes very dear to me!!!!!!!!!!  I hope you liked to learn about her too

#ocs #SO long i have a lot to share about her. i like her so mch.

[blindfoldedsurprises]

You can’t, so don’t

So I’m in this mood where I just want a whole bunch of angst crap....people I need help lmao

This story is happy for the first paragraphs

Your POV

Sitting in this car. Driving with the person I love. Singing loud to early 2000s songs. Nothing could be better right now. 

I get so caught up in the moment; the person, the place, the time, and the circumstance is so amazing and fairytale like. The beautiful person behind the steering wheel says, “Y/N why are you staring at me like that?” I snap out of my trance and just laugh. 

My fiancé manuvers the car into the far left hand lane to turn onto Interstate 5, as other cars pull up to the light. This is a very ordinary thing for us to do. We love driving mindlessly on the Interstate with Autopilot on. We savor all the time we have with each other. We’ve had so many amazing memories in this car and on this road.

Back in the present, the light turns green and he guns it on to the ramp to the highway. 

David looks over his left shoulder to merge on to the highway and I grab his right hand and play with his long, skinny, ring adorned fingers. He looks over at me with one of his signature dopey smiles and says, “I love you babygirl.”

All of the sudden, everything is in slow motion. 

The sound of metal clanging together, bending, and snapping. 

The sound of tires coming to an abrupt stop, trying despretley to not collied. 

The sound of honks from other drivers who we inconvienced. 

The image of him snapping his head to the right to look me in the eye, almost as if to tell me everything will be alright. 

The image of the whole world around us suddenly spinning around and around, doing 360s in the middle of IH-5.

The image of airbags expanding, trying to keep the occupants alive and safe.

The smell of gas.

The smell of oxygen.

The smell of engines burning. 

The taste of tears.

The taste of sweat.

The taste of blood.

As soon as it begun, it had all ended.

I yell out for David, trying to get some sort of sound out of him to let me know he is alive. He has to be. He just has to. He is way too young and way too loved to leave yet. I am trying to busy myself so I don’t slip into the darkness of death.

After what seems like hours, the sound of sirens arrive and a strong, comforting voice says, “LAFD, we are getting you guys out now. Everything will be okay.” With that I let myself drift out of conciousness. 

Hours later, I wake up. A young nurse is checking my IV bag.  

“I’m allergic to morphine.” 

The nurse laughs, “After everything that just happened to you, that’s the first thing you ask?” I smile tiredly. 

“You shattered your foot and broke your arm in 8 different places. You’ve got some scars and scrates, but it could’ve been much murch worse. You are alive, that’s all that matters.”

“As happy as I am to hear that, I’m more concerned about my fiancé.”

The nurse is quiet. “He is still in surgrey. Massive internal bleeding from being implaed by another car’s bumper. Not to mention all his broken bones.” 

“Ca-can I call his family with someone’s phone? They need to get here.”

“One step ahead of you love. Your friend Scott, I think his name was, already call his family and bought tickets.” 

I nod, “How long have I been here?”

“About 3 hours I think,” the nurse says as she straightens some paperwork.

“Can Scott come in here?” 

The nurse nods, sticks her head out the door, and montions. Scott walks in. “I’ll be back in a few.”

“I’m so glad you’re okay! I would’ve beaten you in another life if you got to die before me!”

“Thanks Scotty...I didn’t know I meant that much to you,” I say with obvious sarcasm. I pat the side of the bed and he lays beside me with his arm draped over my shoulders in a very protective position.

“I’m worried.”

“shush...I know you are. I can feel you practically shaking right now. I’ll let you know if anything happens, but for now try and sleep okay?”

I am almost asleep again when the nurse comes back in again and grabs my attention, “Okay, David is almost out of surgrey. No one can see him yet thought. It’ll probably be another 2 hours. Are you resting comfortably?”

“As comfortable as I can be considering.”

“Awesome, be back soon,” and with that, the nurse left the doorframe and was off to another room. 

My thoughts start to race. “What would I do without him? What if he doesn’t pull through? What if I casued this?” 

“Y/n slow down. You didn’t cause any of this.”

“But what if I never begged him to get out and do something today? Would I still be here? Why did this happen to us? Why not another day? Why not give me one more day to savor him? I love him so much, what have I done to upset the universe?” I quickly get out, not paying attention to Scotty at all.

My heart rate starts to speed. The guilt is rising in me. The hatred is building. The heart monitor starts rapidly beeping, prompting nurses to rush in and practically throw Scott off the bed. I’m shaking uncontrollably and my eye movement is rapid, glancing from one nurse to the next. “Grab one half miligram alprazolam now!”

I start to breathe easier and calm down a little. The room fades out and I close my eyes. 

Unfortunaltey I get lightly shoulder shoved by a stranger yelling, “Hey. Y/N wake up. It’s me. Can you hear me? Mom I think she’s still under.” 

“Honey can you hear us?” I start to open my eyes and glane around the room to see where I am. 

“Huh? Wh- oh hey, guys, you made it! I’m so glad y’all are here. I didn’t mean to hurt David, I really didnt, I love him so much. Wait where’s David? Is he okay? Did he live?”.

“Slow down. It’s okay. We were asking if you wanted to go see him,”  Palo said gently.

“Of course I do.”

Toby grabs my wheelchair and Ester puts my hair up into a ponytail, while Sara helps me into the chair. 

“Ready?” Sara asks. I nod. 

After being pushed down a few feet of hallway, we turn left and go a couple of doors down before turning into his room on the right. He looks like a wreck (no pun intended). I finally let myself cry. I push myself to reach his hand, the one I was playing with right before the crash. 

“I love you so much, please wake up. You can’t leave me, more importantly you can leave us. You’ll never get to watch your little sisters walk down the aisle. You’ll never get to see Toby get all nervous as he is about to ask his crush out to Prom. You’ll never get to see the look on your parents face when we tell them they are going to be grandparents. You’ll never see our beautiful kids. Pull through Dobrik. You can’t, so don’t. You are loved by so many, don’t give up on us baby.” 

His siblings are holding his left hand, as his mom is messing with his hair and his dad is holding his wife whispering to her that it’ll be okay.

After a few minutes of silence, his finger wraps around my ring finger and the heart monitors give out a long and continued beep. The sound no one likes to hear. 

“You gave up on us Dobrik.”

[randomwritingss]

*Prompt:* "Hello!

Can you write an imagine story, where Jim Kirk fell in love with Pyke’s daughter, plase?🙈"

*Warnings:* Possible out of character Kirk?? And it turned out way longer than I planned. Also, it's probably really bad. I'm exhausted.

Being the child of one of Starfleet's Captains, Christopher Pike, had its advantages, he told you all of his adventures. When you were a child, you loved hearing them. As you got older, you weren't as interested in them. Mostly due to hearing so much when you were younger. And, almost guaranteed admission to Starfleet.

When you got old enough, you decided that you'd join Starfleet as a nurse, you got along well with other people and the blood and gory things didnt bother you. Your father was more than happy when he heard of your decision; your mother, not so much, but she came around shortly after.

After you graduated, you were assigned to your father's old ship, Enterprise. You were excited, to say the least; but, you were also nervous. While you were in academy, people treated you differently. You knew it was because of your father. And you were hoping that on Enterprise, that it wouldn't be like it was then.

As soon as you stepped foot on the Enterprise, you were met with her new captain, James Tiberius Kirk; a deviously handsome man, with blue eyes to kill. You had heard so many stories on the captain, how he was a playboy and never really cared about anyone but himself. He smiled real big when he saw you, "Ah, nurse Y/N Pike. It's wonderful to meet you. I am Captain Kirk. And this is our chief medical officer, Leonard McCoy; but, I call him Bones." He says, as he places a hand on a man in a blue uniform.

"Don't expect any special attention, just 'cause of who your father is." This Leonard McCoy says, rather crossly.

You nod and respond, "Wouldn't dream of it, sir. I'm rather sick of it. Got it all the time when I was in the academy."

"I like 'er already." Doctor McCoy, laughs looking at the captain.

As he walks away, Captian Kirk looks at you, "That's a first." He laughs, rather loudly and places a hand on the small of your back making you jump. "I hop you enjoy your time on the Enterprise. I'll personally show you to your quarters." You nod, as the both of you walk to your quarters. On the way, he asks about you and why you joined Starfleet. You answer all of his questions and in no time you're at your quarters. "This is you," he says as he gestures the door. "Coincidentally, my quarters are at the end of the hall."

You nod, "Thank you, Captain. I think I'll go get settled in." He nods as you walk in. You wave to him and he waves back. As the door closes, you learn against a wall and groan. "He's the captain, a crush is totally out of the question." You sigh, as you get a video call. It's your father. "Daddy!" You say, happily.

"Hey, sweetheart! I just want to see how you like your quarters." He says, smiling.

"I just got here, actually. I haven't got a chance to look around." You say, now looking around. It was rather big; a nice bathroom, a normal size sitting area, and a rather big bed area. "It's nice."

"Good. Let me know if you need anything." You both then say your goodbyes and get off.

You sit on your new bed, it's really soft, like the one you had on Earth.

*Time Skip: a couple months*

A couple months have passed since you arrived, well were beamed on, the Enterprise. Life is pretty well normal; everyone treats you like a friend, not Christopher Pike's child. You are extremely grateful for that. You hang out a lot with Nyota, Pavel, Scotty, Keenser, Hikaru, Bones, Spock, and of course, Jim. Nyota has become your best friend.

"You know he has a crush on you, right?" Nyota says, randomly one day you both are having lunch.

"Jim? No, he totally doesn't." You respond, eating whatever was on your tray.

"I've known Jim for a while, he does have some type of feelings for you." She raises an eyebrow when Jim sits beside you, in toe is Bones and Spock. You smile when Spock kisses Nyota.

"Hello, boys." You say, looking down.

A chorus of "hellos" reach your ears. Most prominent, is Jim's. You look at him and he smiles at you. "And how are my favorite girls today?" He asks, cheekily.

Nyota kicks your leg softly. You frown, "We are perfect. And you? Boys?" Ny responds smiling.

"We're great. Another great day in Space!" Jim answers, still looking at you.

"Yeah, great." Bones scoffs, rolling his eyes.

Jim, while still looking at you, places a hand on your knee, making you jump. "Alright, I'm going to go...." you trail off before finishing your sentence, "uhm, somewhere." You stand up and practically run away. You wonder around for a while, walking nowhere in particular. Somehow you end up, on the observation deck. Sitting on the floor, you look at the stars as the Enterprise soars through space. Alone in your thoughts, you don't hear somone walks up and sits beside.

"I love the stars." Whoever it is says, making you jump again. You look over and see Jim. "According to my mom, my father loved being out here. It's not hard to see why. The stars are my favorite part of my job."

You turn to him and hang on his every word. "I've been wandering around for over two hours. Somehow I ended up here." You reply, "It's still hard to think I'm in space. I heard so many stories from my dad."

Jim turns his body to you, "My mom told me quite a few. I heard the one about when my dad died so many times, especially in the academy. I always feel like I'm trying to live up to a story; or a.." he trails off trying to find the right words.

You nod, understand, "I know exactly what you mean. I mean, dad had such high standards for me growing up. My mom, she was a little more relaxed when he was off up here."

You both continue talking for what seems like hours. Talking about everything, your childhood, his, and what you both want for your future. Surprisingly, you both want the same things. You continue talking, until you start yawning, "Tired?" He asks, brushing a stray piece of hair out of your eyes.

"A little. I have a long day ahead of me. I need to get to bed before Bones kills me." You laugh, as Jim stands up and helps you up as well. "Walk me to my quaters?"

"Of course." He says, holding his elbow out for you to take, as you're a little wobbly. You both continue to talk as he walks you back.

As you get to your door, "Well, this is me." You say, frowning. You notice Jim frowns as well. "Thank you, Jim. I really appreciate it, I would've gotten lost coming back."

He chuckles and replies, "You're welcome. Can I be honest?" You nod, "When you first came on this ship, I thought you were attractive." He sighs and looks you right in your eyes, "But, today, just now, when you were alone on the observation deck, I... I.. I realized that I'm in love with you."

You gasp, "Jim, I don't know what say. But, I think I'm in love with you, too." He smiles and kisses you. You'll need to remember to thank Nyota, later.

A/N: This probably isn"t my best work. I'm so tired, I'll look it over in the morning. -Shawnee

April 2019🌦

Wow, April 1st and so much has already happened. There were 4 fights today. The first one was 2 guys on the back stairwell I didnt know. The second one was Eugene punching Michael in the jaw over minecraft. And the last two happened on my bus. We sat on the side of the road for an hour until we were cleared to leave. The cops showed up and apparently it's a big deal. After the first fight on the bus, a kid jumped out the window and ran home. Over all pretty entertaining cause I've never actually seen a real fight before (only been in them). My mom and dad also dropped of my moms bestfriend to prison in Dallas today. It was really hard on both of them. We know she'll be back soon, its not that long.

April 4th, I almost punched Kelly in class cause she wouldnt stop talking shit :)

April 5th, hi welcome to missing Calvin a fucking lot :( (update from April 30, fucking die bitch)

April 9th, Yesterday we did Staar rotations. I hung out with Scott and Blake the entire time. Since I got Scott's snap we've been texting alot and I found he likes me.

April 10th, I told Calvin I thought we needed a 1 week break and now hes threatening to break up with me. Scott's helping me through it so I'm ok.

April 12th, Scott and I facetimed yesterday and after that we played Zombies with Seth. It was fun but I kept having to go help my mom and dad with something. Today he walked me to my first class which is Geometry. I think its extremely obvious he likes me. It's cute tho, Kaylie approves.

I have been thinking about this alot recently and I feel like its the right thing to do. I’m gonna break up with Calvin when 8th period starts. I just cant wait to do it later, it’s killing me inside. I am doing it over text because I genuienly feel like my life would be in danger if I told him in person. I’ll let you know how I goes and how he reacts. Wish me luck.

April 14th, I forgot to report how the breakup with Calvin went. Honestly went better than I expected. I'm glad we broke up, that was a really toxic relationship.

Scotty just said the sweetest fucking thing I've ever heard I'm gonna cry.

April 15th, OMG OMG OMG ok. this happened like 10 minutes ago so bare with me I'm still a little bit shook. Sooooo Scott took me to the back of the stairs by the Geometry and Art hall and KISSED ME! KISSED! ME! It was very sudden and at one point my braces got in the way but it's fine, we dont talk about it. After that we were walking down the stairs he said "well since that happened I might as well ask you now instead of after school, would you do the honors of being my girlfriend?" obviously I said yes cause hi, I like him, we just kissed. I immediately texted Kaylie. Scott now knows I tell Kaylie literally everything about anything. I cant help it, she is my bestest friend in the entire world. She knows everything about my life and she has always been there for me. My stomach doesnt feel good so ima take a quick nap until 1st period is over.

bitch even MORE SHIT has happened! first of all, Scott walked me to every one of my classes today which was super sweet. When the last bell rang Scott and I met up and just walked around school since we were both staying after. We just went up and down stairwells and kissed for a little then went outside by the bus ramps. When we got their we started kissing again, then talked and hugged, then walked around. Imagine that but legit 15 times. One time we were kissing and he picked me and continued to kiss me. When it was time for me to go we walked past all of our baseball and football friends. They were all cheering him on and congratulating him. We walked to the front of the school then my mom arrived. We hugged and kissed goodbye and that was it. We've been talking since.

I found out Izzy likes this girl and I'm so proud of him. He seems so happy and he blushed when I was talking to him about her. I'm so happy for him :')

Scotty told me hes my new addiction to stop my original. hes funny thinking I can stop.

April 16th, I had to go to a mandatory drill team meeting today. I'm worried i might not be able to tryout cause my grades are too low for me to bring up. It's fine tho. idc anymore.

April 17th, I get to hang out with Scotty after school today again

skrt skrt its 7:37. Scott and I hung out where we did last time. We basically watched Infinity War and made out the entire time. There were alot of people around cause everyone was getting their physical. Gage saw us but idc about that. I think around 2 hours ago Scott texted me but as soon as I got home I passed out. He said his mom found out about us dating and i was nervous. He said he was getting out of the car and his phone turned on and both his lock screen and home screen is us and his mom saw. She said I was cute and he had good taste. Glad his mom approves lol, now I just gotta tell mine. I was planning on it when she comes back from San Antonio later this week but we will see.

April 20th, wow I haven't done this in awhile sorry lol. Today I went to my friend Jaydens house and went swimming. It was really fun. She keeps wanting me to talk to her cousin Seth who is the same ago as me. Little does she know I have a boyfriend UwU.

April 21st, its 1:08 in the morning lol. Scotty got abssss. I'm not complaining, it's a weakness of mine lol.

April 22nd, yesterday was Easter and it was pretty fun. I went to my cousins house and hung around 2 goats and like 50 chickens. I keep telling my parents I want a goat and they said I'll get one one day, it would just have to stay at my grandma's house.

I'm done trying to fix something this broken. I've cried too many tears over you. I'm done.

April 24th, IM FINNA THROW SOME HANDS IF DEREK AND CALVIN DONT STOP TALKING SHIT ABOUT ME AND SCOTTY OMGGGGG

April 25th, Scotty and I stayed up till midnight watching Netflix on facetime together. We got it to where it was timed perfectly so it was like we were watching it together. I’m hanging out with him after my fashion show rehersal after 4 until 5:15-5:30. I feel way happier and amazing now that I am with him. He makes me happy uwu. A couple days ago Kaylie showed me these socks on Amazon that she really wanted and i’m gonna suprise her with a pair of them tomorrow. I bought 2 pairs so that we could be matching and cause they are super cute. I am kinda nervous about it idk why. I know she is gonna love them. I like giving gifts to my friends, especially Kaylie cause she is my bestfriend and I would do anything for her to be happy.

April 26th, I went to see Avengers End Game with Jesse and Evan and it was the best movie I have ever seen, I get to see it next monday which is amazing. I gave Kaylie her shiba socks this morning and she loved them of course. I’m happy I had the chance to get her something she wanted. Scott and I were sitting and lunch and Carlos sprayed his water bottle everywhere. It scared me alot lol.  

April 28th, first of all...friday....hottest thing ever omg. I went on a trail thing yesterday and it was fun ig. I'm at my grandparents house and everyone wants me to make food??? like why??? I'm lazy and I just wanna sit on my phone looking at memes. uuggghhh. I'm supposed to be getting my nose peircing today but I seriously doubt that will be happening. My mom keeps saying shes gonna take me but it never happens.

April 29th, I was supposed to get my permit today huy I didnt have my ssc so we gotta do it tmrw. I'm on ft with Scott and his cousin Maria is adorable and I love her

April 30th, I got my permit this morning and now I'm about to cry. Mrs.Clary is stressing me the fuck out and I cant handle it anymore.

okay um hi. Scotty....best kisser ever. that was really hot. like holy shit

Simon Pegg: I was lost, unhappy and an alcoholic

The actors tortuous depression led him to drink, then to rehab. He opens up about self-destruction, fatherhood and his friend Tom Cruise. Photographs: Suki Dhanda for the Guardian

Simon Pegg has brought a bit of Hollywood with him. Not just the shades and a shiny smile, but the scorching weather, too. This setting seems apt. Pegg is here to promote his latest outing in the Mission: Impossible franchise, and because this is the start of his promotional campaign and because he adores the fact he gets to star in Mission: Impossible films alongside Tom Cruise he is raring to go.

You have caught me at the best possible moment, he says, shaking my hand and downing a coffee. This will be the most enthusiastic, positive and interesting I will ever be. You have got the mother lode!

And then he sits down to talk about depression. And alcoholism. And how he spent years trying to hide it, and how he nearly lost everything, and how he is lucky to even be alive. It was awful, terrible, he says. It owned me. Suddenly, this roof terrace in east London doesnt seem so sunny.

The narrative with Pegg has always been a heartwarming one: young sci-fi geek turns his obsession into a comedy career, writes a brilliant sitcom (Spaced) and a fun comedy zombie film (Shaun of the Dead), before somehow ending up starring in the same kind of space adventure blockbusters he grew up with. His rise is often portrayed like a film script, as if he didnt so much work his way up to a career as found it tucked inside a Wonka bar. His puppyish enthusiasm and permanent Am I really here with all these famous people? expression only added to the narrative. It was a tale into which drink-fuelled oblivion did not fit too neatly.

I would feel like Im in a film with Tom Cruise, Ive got the part of Scotty in Star Trek. This should be making me feel happy, he says. But it wasnt.

It was the start of a long and tortuous journey. Pegg, now 48, says he had been aware that he suffered from depression since he was 18, but until 2005 had always dealt with it by self-medicating. He would feel sad, he would have a drink, he would feel better. Repeat when needed. There was no time to stop and thinkabout it he had a career to build and countless projects to get through. But after flying to Los Angeles to shoot Mission: Impossible III (2006), things started to unravel.

When I watch that film back, I can see where I was then, which was fairly lost, and unhappy, and an alcoholic, he says. It was the start of what he calls the crisis years although most of his fans will have been blissfully unaware of it. Because I hid it, he says. Im an actor, so I acted all the fucking time.

Did he employ the same skills? Sometimes I did, he says, admitting that he even kept his problems hidden from his best friend and frequent co-star, Nick Frost. One thing [addiction] does is make you clever at not giving anything away. People think junkies and alcoholics are slovenly, unmotivated people. Theyre not they are incredibly organised. They can nip out for a quick shot of whisky and you wouldnt know they have gone. Its as if you are micro-managed by it. He lets out a burst of manic laughter Pegg is remarkably chirpy today, despite the subject matter. But eventually the signs are too obvious. You have taken the dog for one too many walks.

A turning point for Pegg came after his daughter, Matilda, was born not because it snapped him out of it, but because it didnt. It was the most cosmic experience of my life, he says. I thought it would fix things and it just didnt. Because it cant. Nothing can, other than a dedicated approach, whether thats therapy or medication, or whatever.

A year after Matildas birth, Pegg was at the Comic-Con convention in San Diego, California. He was promoting his movie Paul, but during the trip went awol for four days. On his return to the UK, he says he could not make it home from the airport without stopping off for a couple of pints. That proved to be the metaphorical dog-walk-too-far for his wife. It was obvious to her, he says, before adding with a touch of comic emphasis. And then I woke up in the Priory.

Pegg credits rehab with turning things around: I got into it. I got into the reasons I was feeling that way. I went into AA for a while, too.

How destructive had it become by this point? I dont think I would be here now if I hadnt had help.

All this talk certainly puts into fresh perspective his 2013 film, The Worlds End, in which he plays Gary King, a man so determined to complete a youthful pub crawl with his schoolfriends that he refuses to quit, even when it starts endangering their lives.

I felt like I was kind of telling people with that movie, he admits with a smile. Because thats what addiction is like. Its like you have grown a second head and all it wants to do is destroy itself, and it puts that ahead of everything else your marriage, children, your job.

At the time it was going on, Pegg says he had to get court orders to stop stories of his recovery getting out in the media. They were sinking so low as to phoning up where I was and pretending to be my mother to get the story, he says. Now that he has recovered, and mellowed significantly, he says he wants to tell that story. Im not ashamed of what happened. And I think if anyone finds any relationship to it, then it might motivate them to get well. But I am not proud of it either I dont think its cool, like I was Mr Rocknroll, blackout and all that shit. It wasnt, it was just terrible.

Funnily enough, the crisis that reached a head with Mission: Impossible III started to resolve itself around the time of the movies 2011 follow-up, Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol. Pegg says he went into recovery as shooting started, and if you rewatch the film with eagle eyes you will notice him returning to health as the movie progresses. We always laugh about it when we watch the movie. Try it! Youll be like: Fuck, hes got cheekbones suddenly!

Pegg loves returning to play Benji Dunn, the sidekick to Cruises Ethan Hunt, whose journey from lab nerd to field agent mirrors his own Hollywood journey. Like me, hes still impressed by it all, yet at the same time finds it all fairly ridiculous. For Dunns latest outing in the forthcoming Mission: Impossible Fallout, Pegg clocked up 144 days of shooting, more than he had done before. This was partly because Cruise broke his ankle during a stunt, which caused production to shut down for a while.

Of course, he just got up and ran out of shot on a liquid ankle, marvels Pegg. He had his producer head on even as he hit the building, and thought: If I dont clear this shot, its going to cost a lot of money to reshoot it.

You might say that an injury like this has been on the cards. The Mission: Impossible franchise prides itself on the fact the actors pull off the stunts themselves. Pegg believes this knowledge adds a frisson of tension in the audience. A couple of times, Toms done stunts where you think he might not live through this, he says, seemingly deadly serious. When we left him in New Zealand to shoot a scene where he sent a helicopter into a tailspin, it was like: Well, goodbye, maybe see you in London?

Pegg has to get involved, too. He has learned to drive a twin-engine speedboat and venture underwater with a rebreather to complete his scenes. You cant tell its me with all that stuff on, he says. I was thinking about this while I was underwater, which was really uncomfortable and difficult, and I realised: I dont really need to do this, do I?

Has he come close to getting injured? Only if you count a punch in the face. The director, Christopher McQuarrie, gave me a note to pause a little longer before taking a punch in a fight scene. Unfortunately, he didnt give the stuntman the note so he just hit me in normal time. Did he stay professional and make sure he cleared the shot, like Cruise? No! he exclaims. I just went Owww!

Peggs 12-year working relationship with Cruise has long since blossomed into a proper friendship. You can tell that Pegg, mirroring the pairs on-screen chemistry, gets a thrill from being around the megastar, even if there is a degree of mystique around him that even those close to him cant penetrate.

I have never discussed his beliefs with him, for example, Pegg says. Everyone always asks: Did he try and convert you? Is it all Scientology? But Ive never seen that. I have glimpsed it a little bit people from the church have been on set now and again, but he doesnt proselytise about it.

He smiles: Obviously part of me wants to go: What the fuck is that all about?

Pegg believes Cruise is misunderstood. People are quick to want to denigrate him, but there is a complexity to him. He is way more than just a mad alien. The weird thing about that couch-jumping thing [in 2005, Cruise demonstrated his love for Katie Holmes by leaping on Oprah Winfreys sofa] is that it came about when YouTube first appeared and so people leapt on it. He was just being a bit of a knob, that was all. But people want more dirt and horror than that.

Before I met Pegg, I was warned that he wasnt the easiest to interview. That he could be prickly difficult, even. Maybe I have caught him on a good day, but there is no sign of this. Not only is he open about his drink problems, he also merrily riffs on all kinds of topics, from #MeToo (Its time for men to take a backseat and just listen) to his trip to the White House a few years back (I watched Michelle do this incredibly eloquent speech, all off the cuff, and just thought I cant imagine the Trumps ever being in this place).

He once wrote a Marxist analysis of Star Wars and cant help peppering our chat with his pet theories on, say, the representation of masculinity in action films, or home cinemas detrimental effect on community. Yet despite this, he maintains that his depiction as an uber-nerd is off the mark. Star Wars had a huge influence on me, but it was never the be all and end all, he says, a little defensively. I get characterised as this sort of nerd and I can be nerdy ... but it doesnt define who I am.

This sounds a bit rich for someone who wrote an autobiography called Nerd Do Well. I played up to it and I fostered that in some respects, he accepts. But there is a side to me that likes films that have nothing to do with spaceships, too. Besides, he says, science fiction was more substantial during his youth, containing serious adult themes beyond the sparkly effects. Nowadays, a lot of what gets called nerd culture is just childrens entertainment. The adult population is going to see films about superheroes and spaceships myself included and theres a strange kind of infantilisation thats going on. These are the preserve of our childhood, but now we dont have to grow up until we are 30, or even 40.

Is that dangerous? Yeah! It makes us all out of touch with reality. It seems amazing to me that theres probably more discussion online about the next superhero movie than there is about immigration. Maybe now the state of the world is getting harder to ignore and people are starting to wake up to it a bit. Or maybe people will just feel even more powerless and think: I cant do anything, I might as well just watch this film and get away from the awfulness of it all. But the awfulness is festering more and more as we sit in the darkness watching these bright colours.

Peggs future work suggests a desire to explore other areas without abandoning his roots entirely. He is set to appear in Lost Transmissions, an indie film written and directed by Katharine OBrien about a music producer with schizophrenia. In terms of wrestling with your own psyche, I had some knowledge, says Pegg. He is keen to stress that depression and schizophrenia are different conditions. He is also gearing up to work with Frost again on the TV comedy Truth Seekers, which is about a team of paranormal investigators, although Pegg says he will only be producing with Frost, rather than starring alongside him.

Beyond work, though, Pegg just seems happy. He no longer drinks, he has got a peaceful life in Hertfordshire with his wife and dogs, and he is able to enjoy fatherhood as the cosmic experience he always knew it was. He beams with pride while telling me he has invited the YouTube star Stampylongnose to the Mission: Impossible Fallout premiere so Matilda can meet him (Thats who she worships she doesnt give a shit about Tom Cruise).

Despite the turmoil, or perhaps because of it, he seems at ease with himself today. Doing the school run, picking up dog shit, all that stuff is whats important to me and I need to keep doing it, he says, with another manic laugh. I had to deal with a disgusting one this morning, he adds, grimacing at the memory. It was like Armageddon. But as I crouched on the floor with a wet wipe in my hand, I did stop and think to myself this is the life.

Mission: Impossible Fallout is in cinemas on 25 July in Imax, 3D and 2D.

[anomalagous]

lc’s ongoing long-ass list of what the fuck, teen wolf, and other sundry E606:Ghosted edition.

scott getting a little tiny bit snarly at the sheriff for not believing~~ in stiles gives me life

this old-ass map not only puts beacon hills on top of a real life place called scotty place which still makes me laugh, but also substantially more north and eastward than i originally estimated.

why the fuck didnt naziwolf just get the fuck outta bh?

why did he choose to stay and teach high school of all things?

california requires an 18 month accreditation course and a certain GPA of teachers who do not have an education degree, i know this from direct experience. its been three months since naziwolf busted out of his bacta tank, so what the fuck

if he forged his credentials, how

when

when did he actually learn all of the post WW2 physics and electromagnetics things he clearly genuinely knows and has a genuine interest in?

did the dread doctors read him bedtime stories from their science journals?

if so, what the fuck

i guess if youre an alpha werewolf you can sleep in the backseat with no seatbelt and its not a big deal if you crash

good job on malia being the driver and not crashing them im proud of her

reading the date of the canaan abduction in the standard american way it was april 8th, 1987, which cant be a coincidence given that’s stiles birthday (albeit pre-stiles)

if canaan has been abandoned for 30 years, who has been cutting these obviously not overgrown lawns and trimming these obviously not overgrown accent shubberies

why isnt that flag beat up or torn in any way?

kudos on giving that convertible the old 80s style california plates but why arent any of the windows on any of the cars busted out? no flat tires? no rust or missing doors?

also that shot of the ‘town’ where there was more substantial damage looked fake as hell and the crosswalk was proceeding at the wrong angle and i cant unsee it.

why is there still power running to these street lamps?

for that matter who has their street lamps scheduled to turn on in the middle of the day?

was that block party banner over the street lettered on both sides? it reads properly no matter what side youre looking at, which seems weird.

why is there blood on the carousel? was that explained? we’ve never seen the ghost riders’ gun draw blood that i can recall

im not even sure we’ve really seen their whips draw blood per se and certainly it wouldn’t have caused that kind of blood stain

also why is the blood still wet and red 30 years later? why wasn’t that newspaper rotted out? either time impacted this town to make it shitty as hell or it didn’t, pick one, you cannot have both. it still rains enough in california to totally disintegrate a newspaper in thirty years.

how the fuck did that carousel function even that tiny bit after 30 years in the elements?

why did melissa have to sneak chris argent around, couldnt he have just declined the operation against medical advice?

also good to see scott got his utter inability to lie from his mom

even if malia isnt wearing 100% stiles’ void-hoodie how could the costume department have thought for a minute we wouldnt have thought that was the void hoodie?

malia having a hallucination of theo in the same episode he comes back in for real seemed both rushed and entirely unnecessary.

in fact these hallucinations seemed wholesale unnecessary and neither scott nor malia deserved that nonsense

were all of these dead leaves already on location or did some poor asshole have to ship them in and then ship them out again

come to think of it, at first i was really excited to see coral/eucalyptus trees as they are actually trees that are in california (as opposed to the type of oak the nemeton is, which is distinctly Not a type of tree in california) but then i realized those are Southern California Trees and if beacon hills (and canaan) are that far north and close to the oregon border, the trees should be way more pines and evergreens and not coral or eucalyptus or ... any deserty tree, really.

seriously were these hallucinations just to show malia can feel sad too?

malia was wearing really subtle gold eyeshadow earlier. now it’s dark shadowing up to her browbone. does being a werecoyote also mean being able to shift your makeup at will? cause thats cool

do little girls seriously still play with baby dolls while hitting their first strides of puberty? im beginning to think i was never actually a little girl.

how much younger than malia was kylie supposed to be? bc she looks like 12 here but malia was like... 10 when the desert wolf murdered her family, right? was SHE the younger sister??

teen wolf shamelessly reusing shots with new filters on them like never before. this ain’t even the fifth time i’ve caught them doing this, this season, and i’ve literally never seen them do it in any of the other seasons.

im not sure anybody told kylie’s actress she wasnt gonna get to make out with shelley

how do werecreatures get piercings? or were her ears pierced first before the change?

why does anyone let liam make any decisions, ever?

i do not get why everyone finds naziwolf so hot

seriously i have a little tree-bush exactly like this right outside my door/garage and that shit is wild and untamed in just a month of no trimming in 30 years it would not have that nice slender shape anymore

also trees being choked to death by kudzu or whatever all these vines are dont look that healthy

is there even kudzu in california??? ive never seen so many vines in all my 10 years of living here.

the first house scott goes in theres like no tv in the living room but there is one chair (with no dining table) all alone in the dining room area, which just looks sad.

oh sorry two chairs set up in what was clearly the worlds most melancholy staring contest.

my dentist used to have that exact sailboat wallpaper trim around the top of his exam rooms.

scotts bullying a door.

have melissa and chris argent actually told the pack about the head-biting yet bc i feel like they should know

i think more people have asked scott if he’s okay in this episode than in the last three seasons, which is sad bc it’s basically just lydia and malia that do it.

that one house has some brutal earthquake damage in its exterior wall.

poseys microexpressions are so woefully underrated, he really is brilliant.

i have more grey hair than jr bourne and that makes me really angry

i like that they’re doing alchemy with druidic compounds/hedgemagic/whatever you want to call it more than i could possibly express.

why is there a porch loveseat on the step up to this one house but that FLAG IS ENTIRELY INTACT?

how convenient that all three of them were looking at that window when lenore decided to fuck with the drapery.

that said scott’s resultant HOLY SHIT?!?? face is amazing

how has lenore been surviving in this town, does she not need water, electric, heat, groceries? where did the lemons for the lemonade come from?

all this wood paneling is the most 70s thing i have ever seen in my life

i appreciate the little cast iron redwood decoration with the ‘m’ on the bottom of it.

everything!! in!! this!! house!! is!! brown!!

that piano as a busted af bass key there.

i feel like i’ve seen that other metal flower/leaf decor before. the new version of the stilinski house, maybe?

lenore has an intimidatingly large smile and i feel like that as an intentional casting choice

how come malia and scott couldnt hear her heartbeat after scott explicitly called out that there were no heartbeats? or for that matter not hear that caleb also didn’t have one? (presumably.)

im not 100% sure but i think malia is holding scott’s hand when they enter the dining room area of lenore’s house, which is adorable so i accept no other reality now.

i honestly feel really bad for lenore.

i would say the fisheye lens is s6′s slo mo but the slo mo didnt go anywhere

i dont know if its supposed to be fancy or artisinal or whatever you called that in the 80s but dont put green shit in your lemonade, green shit does not belong in your lemonade. lemons. sugar. water. it isn’t hard.

malia like chugs a good half of her glass at once, but when she sets it back down it is more full than any of the other glasses. i prefer to think she just faked drinking it to try and gain lenore’s trust than it’s a continuity error from the props department.

when lenore starts using her banshee powers to shake the house, it also magically converts the lemonade into water.

lenore has a pair of decorative ducks on her wall but they appear to be two male mallard ducks, so. gay duck decor.

so when does lydia get to have telekinesis?

i dont think im a very big fan of how angela harvey handles scott.

malia did NOT make a fist like she was really committing to trying to punch out that window.

seriously scotts the alpha he doesnt need lydia to give him permission to do things scott thinks need to be done

that being said scott going into the basement with a creepy kid when youre obviously in some kind of horror movie trope was stupid

the cameras they used for the senior pack team were super blurry anytime anyone moved even the littlest bit, its so annoying.

scott barely being tall enough to reach this tiny-ass basement window is endearing to me

there is no way a vhs tape that wet would run. i remember vhs tapes. they were not sturdy.

i feel like we used to have the same VCR in my parents’ room tho

also what the hell camcorder did they record this on that put it straight on VCR, camcorders in the 80s had weird little small VCR tapes you had to put in a converter. that was just a standard VCR tape.

also why are there jumpcuts in the home video? did somebody cut the original footage and THEN put it on a standard VCR tape?  how much fucking work was THAT??

caleb goes from 0 to 100 on the creepy poltergeist scale real quick

well okay maybe from like 40 to 100

banshee duel yessssss

literally why would noshiko do this after she saw what happened with the nogitsune

not that i necessarily think theo is as dangerous as the nogitsune but he is well bad enough

look at this worthless white boy doing this shit against all the advice of the woc around him

why does the sword do this, i thought the power was in kira and not the sword

if the power is in the sword why couldnt noshiko fix her own damn blade

look at this other worthless white boy even more worthless than the first

that looks like melissa is putting like grout on chris’ injury that does not look comfortable

oh look hes screaming imma guess it was not in fact comfortable

gratuitous jr bourne fanservice

awwww theyre holding haaaaands again

how did this kid get on the stairs the last time we saw him he was by the tv, why did scott and malia let him herd him like this

i appreciate malia’s willingness to beat up a kid poltergeist immensely

of the pictures on caleb’s walls, many are pictures of insects. one is a blue crab. one says ‘guten’ on it, which somehow entertains me a lot.

this is the second time this episode has tried to make me scared of carousel horses

the vhs footage loops while no one is attending to it which is not how vhs tapes work

malia is such a treasure

that being said having nearly drowned twice in my childhood this whole drowning-on-dry-land conceit is not super great for me

screencapping this is so gross

i love lydia’s fierce banshee scream face

so the blood was on the carousel before the wild hunt attack, as we see in lydia’s vision. SO WHY IS IT THERE??

THERE ARE KIDS RIDING ON THIS CAROUSEL WHILE SOME OF THE HORSES ARE BLOODY

poor skateboard bro couldnt even take his skateboard like rude wild hunt

i feel like there’s a lot more ghost riders here than there are in beacon hills. maybe the ghost riders just come for particular towns and the ones in bh are actually like... cora isaac and danny.

its amazing how much younger a good foundation can maybe somebody look

did liam SERIOUSLY just tell theo he can kill whoever he wants? did i hear that right? bc that is a TERRIBLE thing to tell theo, who has ALREADY KILLED A LOT OF PEOPLE, even if what you meant was ‘dont kill us you need us’.

i cant believe we got this cheap knockoff as an excuse to not have kira and then they didnt even let him have the powers he needed to do the job

otoh watching his ass get blasted back into the tunnels was satisfying

literally nobody cares if youre okay theo you murderous fuck

i wonder how many times scott had someone steadying him telling HIM he has to breathe like hes doing for malia right here

i should really keep a tally of how many times scott does stiles’ lizard tongue thing while stiles is gone

this is gross of me to think while the character is basically drowning but hey now i know what scott looks like with his bottom lip all wet and covered in somewhat translucent stretchy goo--jizz. okay. it looks like jizz.

scott mccall nearly drowns on dry land after a lifetime of severe asthma and the first thing he does after is ask if malia is ok

luckily THIS time she asks if HES okay to but jeez

he looks so shocked and confused to be asked extra jeez

more scolia handholding, this time while fleeing danger

i was literally three in 1987 and i still have more grey hair than lenore who was demonstrably an adult in 1987 I AM VERY ANGRY

that being said i realized why caleb here’s clothing was bothering me so much. nobody had shorts that long in the 80s. everybody wore short as hell shorts in the 80s. it was thighs everywhere.

these stupid motherfuckers taking theo to scott’s HOME and putting him in scott’s SAFE SPACE without even WARNING HIM oh my GOD

those better not also be scott’s CLOTHES

ok but WHY are the wild hunt trapped? did they BRING the northern lights or is the northern lights related to what’s trapping them?

excuse me but WHEN did lydia see anything related to what happens to people after the wild hunt takes them and why didnt we get to see it too?

seriously its like if scott is thinking of stiles then lizard blep

im so mad at liam for bringing theo back and putting him in scotts house i cant even see straight

and i just know that this anger that scott is being allowed will be it

and in a week or two itll be working with theo like nothing ever happened

im honestly shocked he even got this much

he even got undercut there by malias (also justified) rage

cool that the morrigan got a namedrop but i dont trust them with that story eitherrrrr

man let me tell you if this was martin and not scott and somehow he had been murdered and resurrected and was then confronted with his murderer in his pack house that murderer would not fucking leave alive

im still kind of mad that this season brought claudia back to life just to make her so sketch and make me kind of hate her, i didnt want to hate her

oh okay its a different weird leaf decor piece than the other one

oh yeah noah OKAY NOW youre starting to believe BUDDY you have faith issues

#long post for ts #like this is so long #so so so long #just my train of thought tho #no episode of teen wolf is without sin #read at your own risk #this is unfiltered #and idk what tags its gonna end up in #but my biased opinions are Obvious.

[tilly-tali]

finished andromeda. i need to chat. hit me up. impressions under the cut.

granted i have never played at release before, i have never encountered so many bugs/glitches in my life. nav points not updating, enemies spawning inside of rocks, un-scanable/non-interactive quest related datapads, and thanks for ruining my movie night group shot peebee! (she was sitting inside of scotty instead of on his lap or beside him - rude!) sometimes even a reload was not enough. luckily the final battle sequence had enough autosave points because that one was the worst.

speaking of last battle, i found it kind of underwhelming/lackluster. maybe it was just the normal setting. but im not usually so good as to need to play hardcore.

as for the ending/overall storyline, i was slightly disappointed. it just seems kinda small now that its all over. like i understand its probably the first in however-long-new series (though with all the negativity i worry the series is at risk, but i hope not!) and that they need to get things established, but it just didnt have that ‘fullness’ that i felt at the end of the original mass effect. yes they needed to leave some doors open for the future storylines, for the dlc’s we know are coming eventually, but some things seem incomplete in a bad way. i know the epilogue is all ‘we have so much more exploring to do’ but what about the ancient ai - which if you saved is missing from sam node if you leave hyperion and come back to meridian after your interview with keri or whatever else. what about the benefactor and the outlaws/collective? my sense of resolution was not achieved, it doesnt feel complete in the way me1 did, or hell even 2.

other things get a little nitpicky:

we had to select m or f shepard in the cc, but the one time shep is mentioned, its neutral and by title only, so what was the point?

i thought we were supposed to be able to customize ryders quarters on the tempest, did they really just mean the ship collection?

the barrage of new emails everytime you went back to the tempest (though this might be due to the way i played in that i never left a planet until i was basically done with all the available quests at the time) and the fact that there was always a cut scene upon entering it, like sometimes i just wanted to get back on my ship, still docked on eos or whatever and just chat up my squadies, check my email, make some new gear. i didn’t need to lift off for that.

i was also disappointed in the designs of the turians and asari (salarians looked amazing though!). some of the coloring on the krogan or their turian like facial markings was also not cool to me. i also think the additions to sloane kelly were a little too much (though i have yet to assess her since the addition of the new patch to see if she was updated). yeah sure shes a battle hardened outlaw queen and should look distinctive, but the heterochromia, plus the space makeup, plus the tats and extensive scarring was maybe overkill, especially since reyes is so freshfaced and generic in comparison. its kinda bioware’s thing though, put crazy makeup on the bad guys (ie tarohne in da2) but still. suvi’s coloration also grates on my nerves: orange hair, pink lips, red suit? ahh. but i am happy addison looks much better after the patch.

and on the patch subject: the new number key prompts for dialogue choice annoy the shit out of me! i mean yes its nice if thats how you like to pick your choices but the numbering order seems weird to me, the fact that they all say [num] execpt for 6 is just strange. and it looks cluttered, especially if youve played almost the whole game without them. numbering them [1] dialogue choice [2] dialogue choice would be so much better.

one thing i do wish for would be a way to ‘pick’ reyes and the collective without letting the sniper hit sloane. like my ryder wouldn’t have let her die like that but he wouldn’t have left her in power either. i wouldn’t have minded if reyes still ends up killing her at some point in that mission, but just not outright with a cheap shot like the one he took.

i also think the favorites/profiles set up was difficult to set up and maneuver. i never got it figured out (kept deleting my favorites or removing profiles) and so i just used the same setting for the whole game. might have gotten more use out of new fancy powers and combos if i had been able to make it work. being able to control squadmate powers for combos might also have been nice, or atleast know they were using a power so i could plan accordingly. i really felt i was doing all the combat work.

ok so i get that all if the above is on the negative side. but its easier to pick out all the stuff i disliked, but i did like it overall. i will be playing more, just maybe a little less than the original series. i should have made a post closer to the beginning of my playthrough, when all things were new and exciting. things i did like:

general game play worked for me.

2 words: jump jets.

liam kosta is my fave. such a sweetie.

everywhere was pretty.

nomad = mako = happy me.

old game references.

ryder is always cute, twin also cute.

banter and sarcasm.

capt dunn is the coolest lady yo.

final memory unlock blew my mind.

getting to play as your twin for all of 30 seconds.

things i have questions on:

is the nexus uprising book worth a read? does it mention the benefactor and/or the general beginning of the initiative?

jien garson is human and the initiative was her idea, yes? how did the other races get involved, did she invite them, want them to join, or was it solely human based originally? did she bring them in on it just for money to keep it going for humanity, prior to the benefactor stepping in?

where is my twin when i return to visit meridian?!?!?! i left her resting in my quarters on the hyperion to go to the nexus for my final interview with keri (which ps she tells you shes going to go to meridan anyways so like why couldnt she have just arrived and i speak to her there on site instead of flying all the way back to the nexus?) and when i come back again, shes no where to be found?!?! like im glad shes up and out of bed and feeling better, but don’t be going off on crazy missions just yet sis!

A new documentary reworks the memoir of Bowers, who boasts he paired Cary Grant with Rock Hudson and Katharine Hepburn with 150 brunettes and slept with so many actors he didnt have time to see their films

Scotty Bowers was a 23-year-old petrol station attendant on Hollywood Boulevard when the actor Walter Pidgeon pulled up to the pump and asked the dimpled blond to jump in his Lincoln. It would be the ride of his life. Pidgeon was gay, claims Bowers in his autobiography Full Service: My Adventures in Hollywood and the Secret Sex Lives of the Stars, and that afternoon they became lovers. Bowers himself transcended labels. Years later, he startled sexologist Dr Alfred Kinsey by checking off every sex act on his list (and took him to orgies to prove it). Guys, girls, spouses, kings, consorts and a three-way with Ava Gardner and Lana Turner. Bowers had done it all.

[Kinsey] came looking for me, says Bowers, now 95, on a hot afternoon in a Hollywood courtyard apartment. Things he thought impossible, I came up with. With his devilish blue eyes and thick white hair, it is easy to picture why he was popular. He burns with energy, as though he spent his retirement stoking gossip he vowed he wouldnt spill while his lovers were alive. J Edgar Hoover? A drag. Vivien Leigh? A hot, hot lady. Wallis Simpson? A real ballsy chick.

Bowers used to turn tricks in this same building. Today, the vintage-style pad belongs to the director Matt Tyrnauer, a former Vanity Fair journalist who recently reworked Bowers memoir into the eyebrow-raising documentary Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood. Tyrnauer, sitting next to Bowers and gently nudging his digressions on track, confirms that he called the Kinsey Institute to check Bowers tale. They knew exactly who he was.

Everyone knew Bowers. George Cukor, Gore Vidal, Merv Griffin; Tyrone Power referred to him in letters, interviews and biographies, calling him Scotty, Sonny, or just the gas station on Hollywood Boulevard. Tennessee Williams hand-wrote a 40-page story about him, which Bowers found embarrassingly over the top.

I said: Tennessee, forget that bullshit, says Bowers. I should have kept it. Instead, for decades, people pushed him to write down his own memories. I kept putting it off and putting it off, and all of a sudden, almost everyone they wanted me to write about was dead.

In 1946, the year he met Pidgeon, Bowers was competing with millions of other returning second world war veterans for work. Canoodling with a celebrity for $20 made more sense than digging a ditch for $10. After Pidgeon spread the word about his new friend, more luxury cars began to cruise by. Soon, Bowers side-hustle had expanded to a parked trailer with two king beds, glory holes in the bathroom and a battalion of good-looking men and women to fix up with some of the biggest names in Hollywood. Bowers boasts that he paired Cary Grant with Rock Hudson back when the Pillow Talk star was still named Roy, and introduced Katharine Hepburn to 150 lovely brunettes. As for Hepburns rumored paramour Spencer Tracy, Bowers says he slept with him, too.

Hepburn and Tracys complex relationship is a fascinating example of Hollywoods hypocritical and literal moral code. Publicists decided it was better to pretend the friends were having an affair than explain the real reason why Tracy wasnt living with his wife Louise, to whom he stayed married until his death. A heterosexual affair was forgivable even romantic and it wouldnt get either actor fired. After Fatty Arbuckle was put on trial for the rape and murder of Virginia Rappe, the studios began to add a clause in their contracts forbidding actors from committing any offence that risked public hatred, contempt or ridicule. While the courts found Arbuckle innocent twice the Hollywood moguls believed just a whiff of indecency could destroy the entire industry. The swinging days of the early silent era ended overnight. Performers became studio property: they were told how to dress, how to behave, and who to date, or at least pretend to.

It was a lucrative lie. Roy Harold Scherer got his teeth capped and became Rock Hudson. When the tabloids began to nag Hudson to get married, the executives betrothed him to his lesbian secretary Phyllis. Archibald Leach was rechristened Cary Grant and wed to the great beauty Barbara Hutton, although the love of his life was screen cowboy Randolph Scott, with whom he lived for 12 years as a roommate. Bowers says in his book: The three of us got into a lot of sexual mischief together.

Living double lives took a toll. Eventually, Hudson began drinking a bottle of scotch a day and recklessly sleeping with strangers. Grant tried psychedelic therapy and spoke in quips that hinted at his unfulfillment. I played at being someone I wanted to be until I became that person, or he became me, he told his biographer. Even his most famous quote Everyone wants to be Cary Grant. Even I want to be Cary Grant sounds like a whispered confession, or maybe a misdirection. What if he just wanted to be as free as Archibald Leach?

Bowers bedded so many movie stars that he didnt have time to see their movies. A movie takes a couple hours. I was busy every minute. When his daughter, Donna, died, he went back to work that day. He shared a home with her mother, his longtime partner Betty, but slept there only a few times a year. In the documentary, he teeters towards admitting regret for spending most nights in someone elses bed. But he candidly admits his only true passion was money. He grew up hungry during the Depression era, and, as a young teenager, he turned tricks for two dozen Chicago priests who paid him in quarters. That would be abuse in everyones eyes but his. In the documentary, Tyrnauer repeatedly presses Bowers about his childhood, and does so again today.

Youre very intent on the fact that you dont perceive yourself as a victim, says Tyrnauer.

I did what I wanted to do, maintains Bowers.

That is not the conventional perspective at all, but it is his perspective and I dont judge him for that, says Tyrnauer. I think people get to define who they are and tell their story and express their beliefs.

I do think that different people are different, thats very true, replies Bowers. Im speaking for myself only.

As an adult at the petrol station, Bowers never took a cut of other peoples cash. To him, that meant he wasnt a pimp; he was a purveyor of joy. The most important thing was company, says Bowers. The LGBTQ community didnt have many safe places to connect at that time. Homosexuality was illegal in California until the 1970s. When the Los Angeles Police Department vice squad the sexual Gestapo, says Tyrnauer barged into a gay bar, patrons risked being arrested, shaken down for cash, shipped to a mental institution, and possibly lobotomised. The LAPD targeted the Hollywood glitterati because they had careers to protect and money to spare.

When the petrol station became too famous, Bowers became a for-rent party bartender, which gave celebrities an even better excuse to invite him into their homes. Even that was risky. One cop memorised Bowers car registration plate and would pull him over, scare him a bit, and then undo Bowers pants while complaining about his miserable marriage. I hope he found happiness, writes Bowers, charitably.

The vice squad is responsible for Bowers impressive memory. Midway through one aside, he recites the address of a silent movie star who has been dead for 45 years. Terrified of a raid, he rarely wrote down his friends information. It was all in my head, says Bowers. I never kept anything. If I wrote down a number, I had it in my hand until I tore it up. Even then, he would swap the first and last digits to ensure the persons identity couldnt be cracked, a trick inspired by the Navajo code talkers.

Now, Bowers has no secrets. Critics have slammed the book and the documentary for outing celebrities without consent. In the film, Tyrnauer includes a film fan arguing that legendary stars deserve more respect. Bowers counters: Whats wrong with being gay? Others have thanked him for sticking up for the real person underneath the studio gloss for revealing their truth the way they might have if they were alive today. It is impossible to know how Hudson and Grant would have chosen to live in a country that legalised gay marriage. Perhaps their lives would have been happier. Although, Bowers notes, even in 2018: Everythings not going to be out in the open. More actors are out, but now must prove they can play both gay and straight characters. Neil Patrick Harris has succeeded; Matt Bomer is trying. Some have decided that it is still easier to hide.

Asked if he is biting his tongue about anyone alive, Bowers blurts out the name of a beloved actor and her 169% gay husband. He is dead; she isnt. So, Bowers will wait. Let me tell you something: when youre dead youre dead, he insists. Later, when the conversation turns to Kevin Spacey Bowers claims to know one of his exes Tyrnauer steadily repeats that Bowers information about the alleged perpetrator is merely secondhand. The director is clearly, and correctly, aware of the complexities of talking sensitively about sex in the era of #MeToo. But after eight decades of secrecy Bowers sighs: Poor Kevin Spacey, he was right in the middle of a picture and they dumped him and everything. Thanks to #MeToo, morality clauses are making a comeback. This time, one hopes they will only be wielded for good.

Hollywood journalist Liz Smith once quipped: All this crap about coming out! Honey, I dont think I have ever really been in! Before she died last November, she affirmed that Hepburn was a lesbian.

I was pleased that she went on the record about Hepburn because I dont think shed ever done it before, says Tyrnauer. It really provides a great assist to Scottys narrative about Hepburn and Tracy, because people are in willful suspension of belief about this supposed golden couple.

Even more startling are Bowers lusty tales about Wallis Simpson and Edward VIII. Wally and Eddie, corrects Bowers, waving away their formal names. It was very easy to see how she talked him out of being king of England because she had complete control over him, says Bowers. She told him if you want to fool around and do this and that, you cant do it if youre king.

A lot of people dont believe that particular story, says Tyrnauer. But he places them at the Beverly Hills Hotel in the 50s. We found a picture of them in the Beverly Hills Hotel in that period its in the movie. Four former clients knew Edward, and the couples close friend, photographer Cecil Beaton, titled an entire chapter of his diary: Scotty.

There were many, many factors that connected them, says Tyrnauer. I cross-referenced everything I could. When Bowers described a mansions winding pathway to the pool house, or a gate in a backyard, Tyrnauer would pull up an aerial view of Google Maps and there it was, as though the nonagenarian had visited yesterday.

In Los Angeles, notes the director: You can wipe the dust off something that has been obscured and find the truth. Scottys a living example of that. Here he was in Laurel Canyon for decades minding his business. And yet hes Scotty Bowers, the infamous male madame to the stars, and either you knew it or you didnt.

He has tried to ensure Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood tells the truth instead of peddling innuendo like tabloids, TMZ, or even acclaimed smut such as Kenneth Angers Hollywood Babylon.

Am I in that, too? asks Bowers.

Tyrnauer chuckles: Maybe between the lines.

There always will be secret life happening, beams Bowers. People should do what pleases them and the other person some people just please more than a few.

Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood is out now in the US and awaiting a UK release date

ok this is actually a fun bit of writing here, even if the preceding shit was kinda garbage

tl;dr this bitch has to rant about this stupid book because i naively want to learn something about my family’s history and this is the only fucken way to do it

‘When he discovered he had to work to help provide for this instant family of a large flock of children, ‘Mick’ showed his true self and devotion to the family.

Within a year of the marriage, he left the fold, leaving his wife to fend for herself in the daunting task of raising her children.’

like.aside from just being kinda awkwardly worded (he bangs On and On about how his mum was the 11th of 11 children like fuck i get it its a big family, holy shit) i think thats just. a good concept there. the space really sells the punch. wouldve been better if we hadnt been told beforehand that Mick was a cunt, yknow. but thats nice

also lets keep going. ‘6 step brothers and 4 step sisters’ theyre actually her Half Siblings. they all share the same mother. theyre related. she’d be step if she was adopted, which she was not, because if she were, surely we wouldve been told about those circumstances.

‘[his mother] easily met that high standard as she was a very pretty young lady’ please dont perv out over your fucking mother you pig of a man. also you would hope ‘jock’ (his name is fucking robert but ok, Jock) was interested in more than how pretty Nellie was when they got together, right......... like there had to be more to it. am i naive? perhaps

‘scottish clan gordon’ the what. but we arent gordons???? are you. are you hundred percent sure. are you positive about this. are you sure thats why your name is gordon. alright buddy

‘according to buzzy’s story’ please never refer to yourself in the third person

‘hotels rarely burn down’ ?? i dont buy that at all. my guess is this famous hotel (which.... you didnt name so ok)

ok so theres a picture in here of my dad standing at some random gate, and he says its the same gate as a picture of his dad..... where is THAT picture??? this picture means nothing without that historic context, and it feels hollow if the actual picture isnt there.

granddad you dont. you dont need to wikipedia article dump me information about glasgow??? i mean sure, cool, id rather just be reading the wikipedia article.

jesus christ. so hes talking about his dad, right. who he’d technically set up earlier by saying he came to melbourne at 19. before he launched into a whole thng about his mother and shit. and suddenly hes come back to his dad to explain that his dad (so gordons grandfather) used to beat him! and its like, wOAH, where the fuck did that come from??? shit dude. thats rough. but he just mentions it suddenly out of nowhere. oH JESUS actually. sorry. i misread (yknow, because its written like shit). he means.... his brother??? right, he means his Brother Robert, was beaten by his dad, also named Robert, who was the one who came to melbourne aged 19. ok. ok that makes slightly more structural sense but ooof. ouch. poor robert (the younger). in my uh, defence, this book is written awful and i've never met robert? (my.... understanding is that he probably died before i was born? like with mary, who i dont recall having met either)

ok uhhh ‘most of the gorbal’s tenemenets were eventually demolished by the wise founding fathers many decades later, in the 1980s’ the WHOM. this isnt fucking america, this is scotland, what in the actual fuck are you TALKING about????????????????????????????? ‘modern day replacement improvements and architecture designed to achieve, what?’ fucker they were trying to fix the mistake they made in crowding 90k people into the fucking gorbals. maybe they didnt succeed (they didnt) but they were trying, it was naivete rather than fucking malice, you bitter old fuck. like, you visited in the 1980s.... and published this book in 2007......... without thinking to check back......... like hey maybe theyve gotten better? (newsflash - they fucking have) sooo... fuck

‘could the [my family] be related? [to the mcdonalds]’ yes??? we literally are. theres no question of that. being a sept of clanranald, we are Literally related to the fucking macdonalds. you absolute buffoon. yea its distant, and maybe thats your point, but when combined with you launching into this giant diatribe about rhw Campbells for shit that happened long ago, it seems youre picking and choosing how close ‘related’ is. we are. literally. related to the macdonalds. also it wasnt thought up in glasgow, they were from fucking new hampshire. but sure. 

‘his sheila wife of his’ excuse me?

‘so the name was related to a buzzing bee i suppose’ ? i still dont get it. like, he then explains that apparently his twin sister had difficulty saying Brother, so she called him Buzzy. that makes sense to me. i can understand that. but the buzzing bee thing? not sure i follow, given the prior context he provided. i dont get it. this is written like garbage. theres no structure. we went from jumping forward in time to the birth of my uncle Dale (my dads older brother) and suddenly we’re talking about Mick’s running career and gordon’s childhood! what the fuck happened.

‘coupled with the bigoted attitudes that were rife during those periods’ says the man who got angry at a black (i THINK, mightve been a separate story)  frenchman who couldnt speak english in France because ‘we saved them’. fuck off. youre just like them, you old codger.

also hes decrying his grandfather mick for being ‘no true irishman’ even though micks dad was full irish? by that exact same metric i can call my grandfather no true scotsman, because his dad is full scottish and thats it!!! you fucking fool. no true irishman, holy shit, how little self awareness could this man have.

‘then excessive drinking liquor isnt for me’ but is Is for your wife, is it gordon??? drinking wine when shes on antibiotics??? fucking incredible. god theyre. theyre so stupid.

‘not proceeding as a scholar as i could have’ you literally admitted like 5 pages ago that your twin sister was Far smarter than you, but sure! ~scholar~. if you were meant to be a scholar surely you wouldve bounded back from missing days with a vengeance. youre talking complete tosh.

im confused why theyd be doing bombing drills in South Yarra.... in preparation from a japanese air raid.... like im sorry, if the people north are doing their jobs, theres no physical way they couldve gotten to south yarra....... but ok. thats not his fault i just think thats strange.

im 110 pages in and he hasnt actually gotten to the point where he meets eleanor??? aside from a few time jumps forward and a brief mention of ‘meeting her in a milk bar in south yarra’ so like. hoi vey? the fuck.

oh jesus thats. thats a heavy thing to just chuck in the middle of a sentence??? like ‘oh yea after Skete the next scout leader was a paedophile who abused me and the others’ wwwOooahhh there buddy back up. what???? holy shit. ouch. thats. thats rough.

‘absolutely belted this poofta bastard’ yknow what? fair. id also beat the fuck out of a pedo with my boot. thats Relatable. good going on that, i suppose.

ooh thats full third person, weird.

one thing that is definitely kinda interesting, and very telling about his relationship with his family, is that he only ever refers to Nellie as ‘mum’, but refers to Mick as, well, Mick! rather than ‘granddad’ or anything of the sort. like its just sorta interesting when you get this big family photo and Nellie is the only one not called by her first name.

‘returning to those earlier days’ NO! FUCKING MOVE FORWARD IN TIME YOU GIT!!!! holy shit i just want to read about new fucking shit.

......... so like, at some point while playing footy, an opposing player kicked him in the leg and caused a fractured tibia. so a few weeks later... one of gordons friends took a mark on that player and kneed him straight in the head, with that player never playing again. and he’s PROUD of that!!! he’s proud of his friend for ruining a guys footy career. like yea, the guy was a dick, he broke your leg and it was at least partially malicious, but like........... you fucked him up????? hardcore?????? a straight up ruination. but go off i guess.

its interesting that he doesnt go even remotely into eleanors history beyond the fact (so far) that her father Leo didnt say much but was a good dude. then again the books all about him soooo fuck it i suppose.

‘recognition of our scottish heritage’ eleanor isnt scottish tho. shes irish. shes an o'donoghue. what the fuck. like yea naming them dale and glen is a ‘clever’ nod back to scotland (i actually do think thats cute and clever, joking aside. its the exact sort of ‘clever’ shit i love pulling) but............. shes not scottish. unless we’re waiting for volume 2 all about eleanor.

hE USED TO LIVE OUT HERE??????? IN SPRINGVALE????? fuck me. no fucking wonder we live here, huh, jesus. that. certainly explains something, i suppose. like ‘if you were raised in holbrook and YOU were raised in thomastown, why do we live in knox?’

OHHHHH HERES THE FRENCH THING!!!! OHHHH HERES ONE OF THE FRENCH THINGS. OH BITCH behold

so granddads being a dick, as usual, and he’s on some tour in paris. and the tour guide launches into a long thing about the glory of france, like french history and the fighting record, etc. and granddad calls out and tells him to knock it off, because ‘our australians died by the thousands for your country’

i. eh... uhh............... is he. is he aware? of how many french people died???? for france?????? how many????? il tell you how many - apparently 1.44% of the total population of france. thats 600000 people. how many did we lose? around 35k. thats, uh, a smaller fucking number. than the amount of french people. who died. for fucking france. you fucking idiot.

it kills me. is he gonna include the french speaking one too???

oh hell that sure is a picture of my father. good heavens. holy shit my brother really does look like him. thats uncanny, man.

‘one son Scotty’ his name is Scott, actually. not scotty. but cool, i got a really small shout out, weirdly BEFORE my older cousins did???? oh dear is he gonna talk about my uncles divorce actually. oh god. thats. thats terrifying to consider. oh, cool, he didnt in that small section, hopefully it doesnt come up haha (i can only IMAGINE what sort of vile shit he’d say about cathy)

also, ooh, more nuggets on grandma’s family. her dad was a freemason! thats cool.

ooh! he was the president of holbrook shire council! thats kinda neat actually.

ooh! the glenndale motel actually still exists! thats cool as hell. not that granddad told me that i just googled it

OHHH ITS THE FUCKING FRENCH SPEAKING STORY OH MY GOD

Ok first off ‘i slammed my fist into the counter and said very calmly’ yea no fuck that, youre fucking lying. theres no way you slammed the counter and spoke calmly. you almost definitely abused this poor french metro worker who, being a French Man living in France, is not required to know english. you fucking babboonnnnnnnnnn

apparently he nearly fell off a mountain innnnnn geeermany? austria, austria. and as he mentions my dad pulling him back up, he words it as ‘stopping me from falling to my final destiny’ what fucking wording IS that. my god.

uh well ok thats. about it i suppose. there was a big hullabuloo about like, hotels and shit, and there was probably some racism about Islanders in there (like i find it hard to believe there wasnt but im not gonna go back and double check, because this book reads like absolute garbage). but eh. yea?

uuhhh so that was an Adventure, for sure

#long post #book liveblog #theres no like tags for this its just me reading a stupid fucking memoir my granddad wrote with 0 fucking oversight #half of it is almost definitely inaccurate or straight up incorrect. the rest is just poorly written and structured #ike it was a chore to get through because my eyes just bounce off the page because it reads like how I fucking type on the internet #but without any intent! my shit grammar is at least supposed to convey fuckin. speech patterns or something #his writing is just poorly thought out and hasnt been edited in the slightest and its just Disgusting my guy

Our next guest for our #10IAR is former Celtic midfielder Massimo Donati. Massimo only spent 2 years at Celtic after initially signing a 4 year contract with the club. In that time he was a very popular player and shared a special  relationship with the Celtic support who had a great wee song for him!

As always Scott Alcroft asks the #10IAR questions…

How did the move to Celtic come about?

Believe it or not, it was actually Andriy Shevchenko that phoned me up and asked me if I wanted to go. I couldn’t believe it as I hadn’t spoken to him before on the phone. We then arranged it with my agent and it happened. I had a meeting in London then signed.

What can you remember about the day you signed?

I just remember being in the trophy room and it was a very emotional day. I was honoured to sign for Celtic. I knew about the club winning the European Cup in 1967 and how big the Club was.

Whose idea was it to pick the number 18 shirt vacated by Neil Lennon?

Lenny stop playing and Peter Lawwell ask me if I wanted the number 18 shirt. I said sure, no problem and didn’t feel any pressure taking on that number. It was an honour to wear it after Lenny.

What was the best game you played in for Celtic?

I think the 2-1 game against Aberdeen away. I scored the first and assisted McGeady for the second. Those were always hard games against Aberdeen. Also the Shakhtar Donetsk game when I scored the 94th minute winner. That game was incredible!

Who were the characters in the dressing room during your time at Celtic?

There were a few funny guys in the dressing room. Aiden McGeady, Lee Naylor and Gary Caldwell. Shunsuke Nakamura never said a word to anybody. He was a very quiet man but he did his talking on the park.

At the time when you got dropped, did you feel it was fair or was Strachan just like that with some players?

We just didn’t get on in the end. I did an interview for a newspaper and got asked what I thought the difference was between Italian and Scottish Football. The journalist didn’t print what I told him and it basically came out that I was trying to put Scottish Football down which I never said. Strachan didn’t like that and I was demoted to go and play football with the development side after that.

You were at Celtic during the infamous time that Tony Mowbray was manager. What do you think went wrong for him?

Tony Mowbray actually started well. I was happy with him as he believed in me. He was a very good person and a good manager. He would get his team to play from the back. I left not long after he came in so not too sure what went wrong for him but he was a good man.

How did it feel when it came time to leave Celtic?

I didn’t want to leave Celtic. I was not happy to leave. I loved the fans, the lifestyle and the country. I knew and hoped that one day I could return to Scotland. That’s why when the Hamilton transfer came up I had to take it. I missed everything about Scotland.

Who was your toughest opponent in a Celtic jersey and why?

I couldn’t single out one particular opponent but a team, Barcelona. They were incredible when we played them. The movement and just everything about them. With what little time we had of the ball we knew we had to try and do something. That team was unbelievable. Every player.

Finally Massimo, what do you think of the current Celtic side and the job that Brendan Rodgers is doing?

It’s fantastic how many games they have gone undefeated domestically? (69). They are beautiful to watch at times. Every player knows exactly what to do and I will hopefully get my players to do the same one day when I’m a manager. I currently take the 15’s at Hamilton and try to teach them these things also.

Thanks for taking part Massimo. We appreciate it and the fans will enjoy reading your answers I am sure. Best of luck with your future career  and we look forward to seeing you heading in to management when your playing days are over. HH
