i've been thinking of writing a stardew valley au of the magnus archives with martin as the farmer and jon as some misanthrope researcher living maybe on a flat above the library instead of gunther (perhaps he's researching the strange monsters that appear in the mines and you don't see nearly anywhere else in the world...)

if i were to write it, i think it would be fun to replace canon sdv characters with tma characters, wouldn't it? maybe sasha as maru, perhaps renting a room in the house in the mountains from robin (assuming i don't change her for, say, gertrude? eric and gerry could be there as well. perhaps the house is gertrude's but eric is her assistant– or her son and gerry her actual grandson– and has taken over some of the manual work with her aging, and gerry as sebastian?)

perhaps helen and michael could be there instead of emily and haley? trevor and daisy (julia is in a band now. good for her.) could run the adventurer's guild and daisy could be in shane's place (see: recovering from addiction/unhealthy habits as a parallel to the hunt) perhaps she'd be physically disabled in some way, that would be an explanation as to why the mines are not purged from monsters overnight (can you tell i love daisy)?? basira could be in marnie's place and helping daisy recover while she recovers herself? :)

tim and danny as sam and vincent, with danny as an older vincent but younger than canon danny, perhaps?? waiting for their father or mother or both to return from the war with the gotoro empire? (maybe he had always lived there, moved to a bigger city for a while and returned when the war started. maybe he, sasha and jon are working for the same long-term monster researching project. wouldn't it be nice if martin just came bumbling around one day and drastically started indirectly improving their research productivity with his sdv farmer endeavors?? the four of them engaging in shenanigans?? think about it.)

georgie could be kind of like sandy/visit from time to time from the city, make it a jon heart event first and then a melanie one. melanie could be an aggressive version of leah ("youtuber lives in charming yet spooky town in a cabin in the woods, has a successful channel and a podcast girlfriend. good for her.")

there would be different heart events suiting more the canon characters (maybe sasha's 8-heart could be her venting about how she moved to pelican town because someone tried to kill her and steal her identity, tim's about how a circus kidnapped his little brother as a kid like in that one statement, etc. and i'm vibrating like i'll break glass jusr by thinking of what to do with jon.)

at some point jon is sent by elias to the "my ex-husband took the furniture" quest and martin tags along for the fun of it.

i don't know what to do with harvey because he's my husband and i love him and i don't want him gone but i'll think about it. after all, i'm still missing caroline, pierre and abigail (although they could pretty well be mikaele salesa running the store with annabelle working and living there.) perhaps naomi herne should suit the harvey role?? she's peaceful enough to not make me angry for not getting to have my dearest harvey right there. she'd be a doctor, obviously, and perhaps michael could work with her as a part-time nurse? she's waiting for her husband to return from the war (evan herne was sent to the army by his family for abandoning the lukas jojamart family business and marrying naomi, but he'll come back, fear not.)

diego molina and agnes montague as pam and penny doesn't sound bad, and i'm seriously considering having elias be both lewis and the wizard. for the fun of it? perhaps everyone but jon (and later martin) wonders who the wizard is- he calls himself the wizard j. magnus because he's a pretentious bastard. (jon has been set in a position where if he reveals this he gets turned into a plant or something) and he's also the mayor of the town (his legal name is very much elias bouchard.) also, instead of the affair with marnie he has an affair with morris the jojamart guy (peter lukas.)

george, evelyn and alex could be replaced by julia and trevor– they could be softer, less hunt but still recovering from the same thing as daisy– and julia could have a petty feud with jon because, before she knew she was a lesbian, she fancied gerry and gerry used jon as an escape tactic. nothing came of it between gerry and jon but the incident stayed and it was very funny to everyone else.

jude perry could fit clint (and keep on her incel pining over agnes, have a petty feud with jon, because she burned his hand "accidentally" and also because jon is very good at creating petty feuds with people. martin and i both love that man), and krobus and the dwarf could stay like that, etc. and perhaps jas could be daisy's goddaughter that she's struggling to raise (it could be an event, her realising that she needs to pull herself together and stop letting basira raise her alone, just paying half the bills won't cut it– maybe they weren't even together before this and a year or two after her starting the path towards recovery they get together??)

perhaps for willy we could put oliver banks and mike crew there?? local lightning-scarred man is entranced by the vastness of the sea (+his goth not-yet-partner). local hot goth fisherman is so done with everything and just wants peace with the dead quiet of the sea (he rants about death to martin as a heart event, fight me). they should also be a little bit older, to balance the age range of people in town and also because yes.

also jojamart. i think it shoudl stay jojamart because i need someone to make a jmart pun somewhere.

if i should set elias as the wizard/lewis, peter lukas as morris jojamart, who could simon fairchild be?gus, maybe? god knows he's funny enough to be the owner of a saloon. it's funny to imagine his banter with helen while working busy nights there (helen i love you why does the fandom only care about michael.)

i don't know who else i could switch off but if anyone has any ideas both the comment section and my ask box are open :)

#val ramblings #the magnus archives #stardew valley #the town would be full of young-ish adults oh god #there's still peter (before he gets banished by the power of martin hating capitalism) and mikaele and gertrude and elias and oliver???also #basira and daisy should be a bit older i think. let them age together. also mike. mike could be a little younger than oliver but still!!!!!#and well. helen.#michael could be her younger brother and that's that #also simon #and uhhhhhh diego molina #and everyone thinks jon is like 10 years older than he is so #martin will be DELIGHTED once he discovers the truth #ah i'd forgotten eric #now that i think about it it'd be pretty well-balanced if i play my cards right #ah!! trevor as well

Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job #33: “Balls” | February 16, 2009 - 12:30AM | S04E02

Opening sketch is “Pick the Nipple”, which is a little derivative of previous bits. The “success” sketch is a spiritual successor to this, and it’s funnier. Hey, though, I’m not mad. I’m having a nice time.

The first sketch is a the Cinco Urinal Shower System, which is a disgusting product you’re supposed to use in public restrooms. You shower by harnessing the water flow of a urinal. It makes a terrible mess, and seems very inconvenient to use. The sketch devolves when a janitor comes in and screams at the pitchman for making a mess. He points out that it’s a commercial, and that they’re on a set. Something about this one doesn’t satisfy me, but it’s unique and it qualifies as experimental, so I support it.

Next is Whoopsie Daisy, which is an all-timer. A Whoopi Goldberg impersonator is filmed everywhere she goes, eternally being messed with in various ways. The idea that a wacky prank show dedicated to being mean to Whoopsie and gleefully capturing her various reactions to “pranks” (all of which are simple harassment, like a woman who throws a glass of water in her face while she’s seated at an outdoor dining area) is real funny, and the caper is the bit of footage that is taken her very own home, capturing her taking a spill in her kitchen. She looks up at the camera, looking disturbed.

This bit is called back later with some candid footage of the actress playing Whoopsie projecting onto the water-tosser that she was somehow concerned her acting was real while she stiffly denies it. Whoopsie just wanted to go out for drinks with the water thrower. Whoopsie may be a weird woman, but I hope she got to go out for drinks.

Another notable piece: Frank Stalone singing a torch song to his young daughter that he’s going to turn her bedroom back into the computer room, relegating the poor girl to sleeping on the couch. This one’s pretty funny in an easily-digestible way. You have a campy guest star, typical comedic reaction shots, and an actual catchy song with a really clear comedic concept. I remember this one sorta rubbed me the wrong way when I first saw it, but it’s grown on me since. I'm sure plenty of people consider this a classic, and I'm being weird.

The only left to cover now is the framing sequence. In it, Eric announces he’s had a third ball installed. The opening is on yet another cheesy “Sears photo shoot” style set, and it has its moments. The detached/dashed-off Tim & Eric style can feel a little cynical at times, but this segment won me over. The only extra on the DVD pertaining to this episode is an extended version of this sketch, which has some funny stuff in it but is also more repetitive.

The second segment is a little more substantial; it kicks off with Nite Donkey. Tim smugly telling Eric “you owe me a hundred bucks” for some Nite Donkey related bet makes me laugh. I also think the surgery bit is solid. The idea of just letting your friend operate on you is so romantic!

Eric’s third ball moves up into his stomach so they have to get it out. They barge into a Lamaze class but then just do their own thing, making the invasion completely gratuitous. They moan the partial names of Aziz Ansari, Paul Scheer, and Rob Huebel, who made up Human Giant (What, no Woliner??) It ends on sort of a nothing note, which is a shame. But overall, this episode is “pretty nice”.

Is the present cast as good as when it first opened on Broadway in the early 2000's? Debatable. Where Tim Curry absolutely killed it as King Arthur and under Mike Nichols brilliant direction, "Spamalot was a sensation back when. Under the book by Eric Idle and music by John Du Prez and Eric Idle this musical is still a brilliant piece. Director (and choreography) Josh Rhodes takes this great piece based on the 1975 movie Monty Python and The Holy Grail now playing at the St. James Theatre and keeps the side splitting laughter front and center.

It is 932 AD, plague beseeches much of England. God has chosen King Arthur (James Monroe Iglehart) to find the Holy Grail. Arthur summons his round table to help him in his journey. From Sir Lancelot(Taran Killam), Sir Robin( Michael Urie), Galahad (Nik Walker), the entire trip is rip roaring laughter!

The cast plays many roles and all are quite good, however, Michael Urie and Leslie Rodriguez Kritzer(The Lady of the Lake), steal the show. Urie is one of the best Broadway has to offer today; having seen him in various role over the years, Urie always give the audience a treat with his acting. Kritzer's singing, her acting were outstanding.

As the King trudges through a not- yet-united-kingdom, he is helped along by his neglected sidekick Patsy (Christopher Fitzgerald). Faced with zany characters (some oversized; to the Ni' and onto a killer rabbit). We meet mud-covered mothers and an amputee swordsman. Adding to this farce, even the French get spoofed and it maybe the highlight of the afternoon.

What has been added to this "Spamalot" is the frustrated historian and it is well played by Ethan Slater (SpongeBob the Musical), wimpy Prince Herbert, the killer bunny and many other wacky characters. Slater, like Urie gives us great business, funny action that brings the show to higher levels.

The design in this musical is decent (Paul Tate dePoo lll) as is the projections. I thought the projection here never changes the locations well enough. In the design it merely supports the show rather than being just functional it never raises the show to a bigger brighter visual. Here we get a missed opportunity to separate itself from the "Spamelot" we saw back in 2005.

In Jen Caprio's costume design, Cory Pattak's lighting and Kai Harada's sound design we get full support to the musical. Where scenic and projection just exist, the aforementioned really bring great effect and support to this two plus hours of entertainment.

In a spoof such as this, the music needs to be as memorable as the plot itself. Songs like :"I Am Not Dead Yet", "All In One", "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life", "You Won't Succeed on Broadway", "Diva's Lament" and "I'm All Alone" are all memorable and funny.

By way of entertainment, "Spamalot" is great-good-fun and certainly something we can all us in these times; pure escapism and for the most part, the jokes land well. The actors are versatile and talented and they bring excitement and lite fun to their performances. The show never is slow and moves at a rapid pace throughout. Comparing it to when it first came to Broadway hurts this show in that it had a different director, different actors but I promise you that you will not be disappointed seeing this rendition.

Broadway, Spamalot, Some Like It Hot, A Beautiful Noise, The Shark is Broken, Back To The Future, Hamilton, Aladdin, The Lion King, Michael Urie, Tim Curry, David Hyde Pierce, Harry Potter and The Cursed Child, Tony Awards, www.broadwayworld.com, Mann About Town, Metropolitan Magazine, My Life Publications, Nimbus Magazine, WACE Entertainment, Gimme Shelter Productions, LLC.

chenford details in 4x03

- The look Tim got in his eye when Grey suggested Lucy to be his gofer was everything. He clearly does not like the idea of being Lucy's superior again in any shape or form.

- Lucy being butthurt she can't be Tim's gofer and gain experience OR Lucy being hurt because to her it means Tim doesn't want to spend time with her... oof.

- "Tim is missing me right now." GIRLIE THAT'S PROJECTION AND YOU KNOW ITTTTTTTT this is textbook i'm struggling to come to terms with my attraction for someone and it is beautiful

- "She's not being very adult about it." Because it is puppy. love.

- THE SECOND something niche comes out of Webb's mouth, Tim instantly believes it's Chen's doing. Now I wanna know all the weird, long-ass conversations they had. Also the fact that he thinks of Lucy means that she doesn't have to be in the shop to be in the shop.

- THEIR STAND-OFF IN ROLL CALL WHAT THE FUCK. That's just a veiled attempt at trying to make the other confess they need each other/want each other. I'm losing it. Also his pikachu face when she finished the convo, he's like "damn, what do I really want?"

- "I've decided to spread the love and give someone else a chance to be my gofer." This whole sentence is bat-shit insane and I don't care. Also Tim choosing Smitty is giving me i'm a high schooler and i like this girl but if i choose her she'll know so to piss her off i'll be choosing someone else and it is beautiful. Lucy and Tim are gonna blow a fuse very fucking soon.

(also i would die if grey pulled them aside one day and be like "can these high school shenanigans stop, please?" and they're both just. flustered as fuck.)

- *lingering glances*

- I'm sorry. What the fuck. Tim thought about intention? He wouldn't have thought about intention and optics had it been any other woman. He was afraid people would think they were INTO EACH OTHER??? The only reason he would think that if there had been a vibe before AND THERE HAS. also "a very handsome boy" might be the best thing eric winter has said, ever.

"But screw what anyone else thinks." might also be something that'll come back in the future. He's afraid of optics, she's not. If he eventually comes to terms with his emotions, he'll have to get into that mindset as well.

- *lingering glances intensify*
