After finding out there's a moon knight and venom what if? Novel coming out next year I'm reminded of my desperate want for the Tom Hardy venom to cross over into the mcu purely for the symbiote to have to spend approximately 0.5 seconds in Marc's body before yelling "IT IS FAR TOO CROWDED IN HERE" and jumping ship back into Eddie
I just want to scream about Isaac McAdoo and class the contrast of his "only pen I can write my name with" *quack*, just rolos, in no way RP accent, Richmond on twelve "seven...nine...ten..." And how much grace and weight and honour the show gives this Rodan in cleats, this portrait of masculine melancholy, new crowned king caught up in his own head (S2) this man who leads a one braincell team of himbos even when the braincell ran off with someone else and roars "How doth we channel this lack of compromise?" With such passion and agony that if Kola Bokinni announced he was cast in a Shakespearean tragedy I would fly to London tomorrow.
Truly a Renaissance man. I want to see him talking about finishing his classics degree in the off season.
You could maybe try writing a small paragraph or threw of the LJ rewrite? Could be of any part of the story, really
Aheem, my writing skills are shit but um.
A section!! Which would be early/middle part of the story?
"Isaac, I'm here!" Jack exclaimed in a chipper tune as he entered Isaac's shop. All the lights in the front of the building were off, with only a dim glow coming from a door behind a counter.
Jack looked mildly concerned with the lack of response, but he simply shrugged it off as he took off his snow-covered shoes and coat. He made his way towards the counter, littered with nicely presented plush toys and gadgets, and rung the desk bell. It wasn't uncommon for Isaac to want company when the sun set and the streets were silent, after all he was busy all day with his work, but something felt different this time... It felt malicious. Something in the back of Jack's mind said something was wrong, that he should run home to his wife, but he rejected those fears and kept still, waiting for his brother to appear. After all, there was no logical reason to feel this way! Maybe it was just the anticipation of any birthday surprise Isaac had that made him anywhere close to anxious! That is how Jack reasoned it at least, but the dead silence didn't help his worry.
He rung the bell again but it seemed he pressed it once too many times as Isaac's annoyed voice echoed from beyond a door that was behind the counter. "Come in 'ya corny bastard! Don't need 'ta ring the bell every time like you're a customer." Jack's worry melted upon hearing his brother be his regular bothered self. Jack walked past the counter and slowly into the room beyond the door. It was Isaac's workshop, filled with half-made toys and scraps of fabric, metal and wood. Isaac was sitting on a chair next to his workbench and turned towards Jack, Isaac's prized book on the bench right next to him. The room was lit with only a single oil lamp, barely casting light onto a giant sheet of fabric covering something large in the corner of the room, which caught Jack's eye.
"Finally here for your birthday present, are 'ya? It's pretty late, even for someone like me!" Isaac said with his usual horrible grin. "What kept you?" Jack kept his attention to the thing in the corner. "I've... had a rough day is all. I had to take a kip and I suppose I slept for too long." Jack admitted as he walked into the room. He was surprised by the new carpet at his feet, failing to notice it before hand due to the poor lighting. He reached to turn on a regular light in the room, but was stopped by Isaac piping up. "Oi, don't do that!" He shouted, darting up from his chair. Jack put his hand down as he looked concerned for Isaac when he started coughing and clearing his throat from shouting so loud. "It'll uh... will ruin all the suspense I've been making!" Isaac said, quickly regaining his smug smile as he walked to Jack and put his hand on his shoulder, walking with him to the obvious covered present in the corner. "Come along now, I need to give you your present!"
"It's going to be life changing."
isaac has adhd meds he's been having anxiety abt actually taking so now we have all had adhd meds and we watched the first episode of chernobyl and oh BOY am i thinking about disco elysium now. brain going brrrrr for real
@miidnighters: first things first. a sweatshirt and something hot to drink. (from isaac)
memes, accepting
the rain showers damaged the stem of a milkweed. little august had witnessed it, his nose pressed to window, worried for his plant pal. and he’d bolted outdoors – in t-shirt and blue jeans.
it wasn’t his brightest moment. he likes to imagine it was courageous.
he’s shivering like a wet kitten, injured milkweed tucked against him. isaac takes the plant and hands him a sweatshirt. (cotton soft. apple-themed.) tugging on the sweatshirt, the boy’s face scrunches into a sneeze. and a second, louder sneeze.
I'm watching sex education and I can't tell if the woke popular kids not even trying to sign with their deaf friend is foreshadowing them being dicks. That or the writers are lazy and greatly overestimate how effective lipreading is.
It’s one thing to read casually that Isaac spread rumors about Rosaly being a witch and caused her execution.
It’s quite another to see him yank Hector’s hair and hold his head tight, preventing him from even screaming in pain, forcing him to watch his beloved Rosaly being hanged in front of him. Oh, and then he dangles (the illusion of?) her severed head in his face.
Fucking hell, Isaac. You felt Hector’s tears on your fingers and still mocked him. Talk about being cruel. This is near Griffith’s levels of pure spite.
The only thing that would have made this worse would have been Rosaly being burned at the stake.
(The pages were translated faithfully so I’m using those - although maybe it should be “When you become fearsomely cruel, who and what is to blame?” - but one detail that cannot be conveyed in English is that, in this scene only, Isaac speaks in kanji and katakana)
(Considering that Isaac himself is drawn in an unrecognizeable way, I think that it’s meant to convey that Hector can’t even recognize his old friend anymore, not by appearance nor by voice, so much he has been twisted by the Curse.)
Thinking about the like. Fucked up modest mouse songs.
The dual vocals of dirty fingernails that wants to stay whispered and composed as they want to scream out to someone, anyone.
The loud, obnoxious depression of fruit that ate itself, a life that's so tired and sick of it they can only get impotently angry at everything in some self destructive spiral.
A manic depressive named laughing boy. Just in general.
I am so tired of BBC Ghosts fans tagging their criticism and hate as CBS Ghosts. Stay out of our tag. Tag it as anti. Us fans can’t have critical discussions in our tag because we are constantly defending the show. It’s exhausting.
Also, can you please stop comparing the two characters? It has been established that this is two different shows and the characters are not carbon copies. If you don’t like it, stop commenting it about it. Leave those who enjoy the show alone.
time for izzy's semi weekly complain about ted lasso session but like........
you could have EASILY had isaac try to act like everything was normal (because he's not only an adult but also a CAPTAIN of the team). like he could have been making up excuses to avoid colin in a way that still lets the team think everything is fine. bc the way they did it, everyone would have noticed ?!?! but no one noticed or cared??
you could even have tied it back to isaac talking about body science and you could have had jamie tell someone something is up with isaac and colin and that person be like 'ppffffft what are you on??' and him being like "no, look at their body science!!!"
