Adrian hates horror movies
Every Time We Touch–Adrian’s not a fan of having people touch him. The more that he gets to know you, the more that he warms up to the idea of people, namely you, crossing that boundary.
(Or, Five times you touched Adrian Chase and he realized he might not be touch-averse, and one time where he said “fuck it” and touched you first.)
Right Where You Want Me–You probably should have told Adrian that you know how to shoot a gun the second that he revealed he was going to teach you. But you can’t deny that having Vigilante with his arms wrapped around you to help you hold the gun is tantalizing.
The 11th Street Kids Go Undercover–On a mission to stop the formula for creating metahumans from falling into the hands of Lexcorp, you and Adrian are paired up. A fake date with the guy that you have a crush on is surely just another day at the office.
The Betrayal–You find out the truth about what happened to your brother, Rick Flag, at the worst possible time.
The Good Kind of Butterflies–Adrian realizes he has a crush on you. He doesn’t take it well.
Unexpected Guests–Adrian tries to keep his work life separate from his personal life. Until one day when his work life literally shows up at his front door.
Who Helps the Helpers?–When you come down with a nasty cold, help comes to you in the most unlikely of forms. Though it’s not who you were expecting, you certainly can’t say it’s unwelcome.

Tumblr media
Kiss of Fire–You only want what’s best for Jim, and that includes staying clean of drugs. Jim, who’s been bottling up his true feelings for so long, finally snaps after he finds out you flushed his stash. 
Half of My Heart–Jim was supposed to be better now. After his psychotic break, you and Medina had made sure that it was impossible for him to slip back into his old habits. But the morning comes, and so does the realization that he’s been lying to both of you. 
Tumblr media
A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes–Life has never been the kindest to you, and you've come to expect only the worst from it. But when a golden-eyed stranger shows up at your place of work and promises you that all your dreams will come true if you just trust them, how are you to say no? Get ready—a ball in the Dreaming awaits.
Christmas Traditions
Fatherhood–You're a single parent, and you (and your daughter) meet Morpheus
Give Me Everything You've Got–After a fight, you learn that Morpheus does not have the best coping skills. Like, at all.
Hopes, Dreams, and Everything In Between–Just when Morpheus finally escapes capture at the hands of the Burgess lineage and begins to make his way back to his realm, his weak connection to his power disappears completely. Left stranded in a world with no knowledge of what has transpired for over a century, no powers, and no clothes, Dream of the Endless must let down his guard and place his trust in a human whose path he was quite literally dropped in the middle of.
Jealousy, Jealousy–It's your turn to get jealous.
Kiss With a Fist–Normally, Dream is above mortals and their petty quarrels, but when one decides that he wants to play with fire, Dream is more than prepared to burn him. That is, until you have something to say about it.
Morpheus Does Not Understand Millennial/Gen-Z Humor
Morpheus gets jealous
Of Jack-o'-Lanterns and Misperceptions–You carve pumpkins with two of Dream's sisters in the Dreaming!
Our Very Own Greek Tragedy Pt. 1 | Pt. 2–You love Morpheus, and Morpheus loves you. You're the happiest that you've ever been in your life, and your love's intention to propose to you is just the icing on top of the cake.
Too bad you don't remember any of this when you wake up.
Shopping Spree–You go shopping and have a little fashion show for Morpheus.
Sick Day–You're sick, and the absolute last thing that you want is for an overprotective King of Dreams to find out. Of course, you should know by now that it's impossible to keep anything from Morpheus, and when it comes to you, there's nothing that he won't do to make sure that you're safe and well.
The Mixup–Matthew goes sticking his beak in places it shouldn't be, and finds what he believes to be some shocking news.
The Nightmare–Your daughter has a nightmare, and Morpheus is the one to soothe her.
To the world we dream about (and the one we live in now)–Being in the right place at the right time turns everything you thought you knew on its head when a woman, imprisoned and battered, is literally thrown into your life. Left with no choice but to do the obvious, you offer her shelter and support in her time of need.
Unbeknownst to you, said woman is a powerful and ancient being who now belongs to you in accordance with the old laws. This situation definitely won’t become complicated, right?
You get your period
You're extremely stressed out

Tumblr media
Summary: You and Jim are partners for a project at school. And they like each other.
Warning: small amounts of kissing, and spelling mistakes. Tell me if I miss anything.
Y/n pov
(at the Library after school)
I was sitting with Jim Mason one of my classmates working on our project for history class. Actually I am nervous of working on this project with Jim, because I have a crush on this cute guy. Actually this crush has been going on for a while. And now we are partners on a history project.
And I can just get lost in his beautiful blue eyes, it is like looking at a beautiful blue ocean.
I just wish I could know if he feels the same for me. And maybe we can start a relationship together.
Jim pov
I can’t believe that for my history project I get to work with my crush. This is exciting, but I am so nervous of making a full of myself in front of her.
And maybe today can be the day I tell her how I feel. Y/n has an amazing laugh, and I love the way y/n eyes shine in sunlight.
I could never get enough of this amazing person. And i hope that maybe we both have the same feelings for each other.
“ hey y/n, I wanted to tell you something. Do you think we can take a break form this project?” I asked while I put close my history book for a moment.
“ yes Jim. And we should totally take a break.” Y/n said while she also closed her book.
“ Y/n I have feelings for you, like romantic feelings for you. And I hope you fell the same.” I said as my eyes look right at her. My heart is betting out of my chest.
“Jim I feel exactly the same way about you. And I have been for some time. I am so happy you fell the same.”
Y/n just told me she feels the same way. I can’t believe it. I feel my happiness is skyrocketing.
Y/n pov
Me and Jim have feelings for each other . I can’t believe this is happening. All I want to do is jump up and down form happiness. And I want to know what its like to kiss this guy in front of me.
My head is leaning more into Jim’s head, my lips are moving towards his lips. And his lips are moving towards my lips.
When we kissed I can feel sparks flying and this is so magical.
I just can’t believe this is happening. Omg, and can’t believe we have the same feelings for each other. And I am so happy to know we feel the same.
And know we are officially boyfriend and girlfriend. I asked him to be my boyfriend.
This is one of the best days of my life.
Tag list (Cody Fern fanfics): @morby

Mattea Murdock, the Daredevil Drummer of Philly
Tumblr media
In celebration of the forthcoming new Spider-Punk: Arms Race series (not to mention Hobie stealing scenes in "Across the Spider-Verse" last year), I wanted to finally write up my long-overdue overview post on Mattea Murdock! If you haven't read her introductory run yet, check it out here.
Mattea truly stands on her own in the wide canon of alternate universe DDs. She is a female Daredevil, she is Latina, and she somehow managed to escape Marvel's NYC gravity and base herself in Philadelphia, where she defends its citizens from violence and exploitation. Hobie and his self-styled Spider-Band encounter her in Spider-Punk (2022) #3, when they make a detour to fix the busted Spider-Van. They are all immediately-- and correctly-- impressed.
Tumblr media
Mattea: "Yo, Kam!" Hobie: "Wait, you know each other?!" Kamala: "Duh! You think I wouldn't know the Daredevil Drummer of Philly?" Hobie: "You're a drummer too?" Mattea: "Best in town." Hobie: "Oh man, my friend Gwen is a pretty dope drummer too. I think y'all would definitely get along." Mattea: "Hope they're ready to get outplayed by a pretty, blind girl." Spider-Punk vol. 1 #3 by Cody Ziglar, Justin Mason, Jim Charalampidis, and Travis Lanham
I talked a little about her killer character/costume design when she was first introduced (I was a fool; of course she's blind), and my love for her look has only grown. It's badass, distinctive, and it slots her beautifully into Hobie's punk rock world while still evoking that trademark Daredevil image (red, sticks, pointy bits...). Her irises are red, which is a visual choice I enjoy in more heightened, fantastical DD stories/art styles, and I think it works for Mattea. Heck, I could even imagine them being colored contact lenses she's chosen to wear for the aesthetic. Also, one detail that wasn't in the previews is the fun little laughing devil face on the back of her jacket (I'm not punk rock enough to get the reference if it is one, but it reminds me of Darkdevil):
Tumblr media
Of course, always a big priority for me is Daredevil's power-set, and Mattea provides a quick primer on her unique perspective, mostly focused on hearing and the radar sense:
Tumblr media
Mattea: "What? You think just 'cause I'm a blind girl, I can't see? Echolocation, my abuelas used to call it. But it's more intimate. Instinctual. Can hear a kick drum from ten blocks away. Can see it too. If I think hard enough, I can even see what the garage it's being played in looks like." Hobie: "Yo, are you doing it right now?" Riri: "She's definitely doing it right now."
This is not my favorite description of Daredevil's powers, nor-- to be honest-- a particularly informative one. She can gather spatial information through walls...from ten blocks away? I also never love an overuse of visual language in any explanation of these powers, especially as it's implied that Mattea, like Matt, is completely blind. Surprisingly, no direct mention is made here of the hypersenses as a whole, beyond the reference to hearing a kick drum from ten blocks away. Even her hearing doesn't receive that much attention in the story overall, which feels like a missed opportunity for such a musical character. Her blindness, too, is pretty much irrelevant to the story, and never comes up again. But I do LOVE that she uses the term "echolocation", though is still very clearly the radar sense, in all its vague, undefined, semi-magic glory.
And visually? This is great. I'm always a fan of the cross-hatching visual, especially against a black background, and artist Justin Mason doesn't go too overboard on the detail, which is another preference of mine. And thematically, I love the ways in which Mattea's drummer identity is tied into her superheroics-- not just for laying a beatdown on bad guys, but also for channelling and enhancing her echolocation/radar sense. One of my favorite scenes in the comic is when she plays a drum solo on a roof edge to scope out the Kingpin's lair. I'm willing, in that moment, to ignore any gripes about radar sense irregularities out of respect for the coolness and thematic heft of the concept. I mean, this rocks:
Tumblr media
Mattea: "Come on, show me the good stuff."
At the end of the day, though, this is not a Daredevil comic and Mattea is not the main character. Plus, it's only five issues long, and introduces a bunch of other new characters as well. There was only ever going to be room for the creative team to offer a cursory introduction, hopefully generating enough interest to prompt these characters to appear again in other comics. In that, I think they fully succeeded with Mattea; we get a cursory sense of her powers (or at least, enough to show that they're the normal DD set), her personality (delightfully cocky, playful, tough, fearless), a few hints of her backstory, and some truly kickass fight scenes. There's a bit of suspension of disbelief required to believe she can use drumsticks as a stand-in for billy clubs (unless her drumsticks are made of something really hefty-- and hey, maybe they are), but this is Spider-Punk. Hobie killed Norman Osborn with a guitar--twice. It's not about realism, it's about style.
Tumblr media
Mattea: "Been waiting for this for a long time, Fisk. Real long time." Fisk: "I'm going to break you, li'l girl--AWGGH!" Mattea: "Big, strong man who sends out his band of wackos to push over people too weak to fight back." Fisk: "Wouldn't get too cocky, girlie...you're not the only one who's fast! I'm gonna hurt ya. A lot. Then I'm gonna kill ya. And I'm gonna love every second of it. You know, this is the same look you had when I had your old band clapped a few years back. I like it. Brings out your eyes--GAAAH!" Mattea: "There's something you need to understand about me, papi. I'm not the kinda girl who goes down without a fight."
I can't wait to see more of Mattea and learn more about her, her world, her friends, and her enemies. In particular, she seems to have a history (possibly romantic?) with this world's Kamala Khan, and I would love to see more of that relationship. While Mattea Murdock clearly has a lot in common with Matt Murdock, she also seems happy to be a team player, unlike Matt, and I really enjoy that. Though I guess it's not that surprising a distinction. After all, every drummer needs a band.

the lake house later that summer when Lola didn't show up for their weekend at the house and she had stopped responding to both he and Luke.
she didn’t respond to them because she was in a different state,not california and not Michigan
sort of. instead of going to Michigan after the season, she spent a week or so in Arizona with Matty and then moved on to see someone else (im sure who yet) and then went to Mason and stayed with him for a while
at this time she doesn't know why Jack did what he did, so she is going through with cutting him out of her life and by association the rest of her family. she did talk with her parents (mainly Jim) up until she didn't show up
the boys thought her non-contact thing was because they were all getting busy with playoffs and not because she was planning on leaving.
but can you imagine when she didn't show up at the airport and luke is freaking out because where is she and then they have to tell their parents she's missing?

Since we don't have any representations for the Covey's vocals other than Lucy Gray (Rachel Zegler) and Maude Ivory (Josie Hope Hall), here's what I think each Covey member sounds like.
I imagine Barb Azure sounding a little like Cass Elliot from The Mamas and The Papas. Nice, rich alto voice that's like borderline mezzo. Doesn't use vibrato much. Very simple but beautiful and classy.
Tam Amber, we kiiindaaaa know what he sorta sounds like from the beginning of "Nothin' You Can Take From Me", BUTTTT the singer isn't credited so imma create my own. I think he's a bass. Honestly, I can't think of a male singer who I can compare the voice that I have of him in my head. But I will say it's fairly similar to the one we do hear of him. The best way I can describe the way I hear is voice is light, soft, deep, and soulful. So...do what you will with that info lol.
Clerk Carmine I can see sounding like Mason Ramsey (yes the Walmart yodeling kid, shhh, his voice matured, people). A nice rasp to his voice ofc with that. I think he's a tenor all the way. (Listen to "Blue Over You" by Mason Ramsey and you'll see what I'm talking abt).
And now last and very much least, I think Billy Taupe is a baritone. Probably sounds something like Jim Morrison from The Doors. I'm sorry, don't ask me why. I don't wanna do good 'ol Jimbo the Lizard King like that, but...idk how else to explain his voice. Just imagine if Jim Morrison were a folk/country singer and...you'll have Billy. Womp womp. (Think "Riders on the Storm" but...a lot more bluegrassy 😭). But it's okay guys, cus that janky accordion of his drowns out most of his vocals >;)
That is all, thank you <3

Is this a good time to ask for Mississippi headcanons? Btw are his eyes white as a style choice or do you actually headcanon they're white?
Oh yeah, it’s fine! It’s more from my Team Spirit AU and to add some cool contrast, as well as an excuse to make Mississippi look cool and to make his eye visible.
Mississippi Headcanons
Mississippi’s State Spirit is a white magnolia flower crown. When his emotions become more intense, more white flowers and branches begin growing from various parts of his body. [#FAF8F2]
Mississippi’s state flower is the southern magnolia, and one of its nicknames is the Magnolia State. 
Mississippi’s fake human name is Mason-Fisher Stephen Patterson.
Mississippi is a looong name for a state. So his fake human name is long too. Many S sounds. He often drops the F in his monogram, so it’d be MPS.
Is really good at ballet, and he likes it quite a lot. As such his body is very flexible and nimble. 
Based on how Jackson, Mississippi is sanctioned to hold the USA International Ballet Competition, only one of four cities.
And if you know anything about male ballet dancers, man’s is jacked.
Although, he’s still quite chubby in the middle no matter how much he works out. Having the highest obesity rate in the country isn’t doing him any favors in that regard. ‘Sippi’s pretty fine with how he looks though.
‘Sippi has a small scrapbook filled with photos and autographs from all the celebrities that were born in his state. He’s got pretty fun stories if you ask.
Mississippi often plays blues music on his slide guitar, especially when he’s feeling down. He’s a very talented musician owing to all the legendary musicians that came from him and the state’s claim of being the Birthplace of America’s Music. 
Mississippi is the birthplace of American blues music starting out as delta blues in its earliest version.
When he’s drunk, he’ll start playing and singing dirty blues songs.
He has an old and worn teddy bear on his bed. Her name is Maggie, and he talks to her when he’s feeling down and doesn’t want to deal with the reactions of other people. Her make is more like older versions of teddy bears with a squarer head, longer snout, and longer limbs.
The hunting trip incident where Theodore Roosevelt refused to shoot a black bear that was trapped for him happened in Mississippi. That incident inspired the teddy bear, and it’s also the official state toy.
The first teddy bears were made in Brooklyn, New York and Germany around the same time in 1902. The two makers had no relation to each other, although candy shop owner Morris Michtom in New York was the one who was inspired by the story.
Can do a perfect Kermit the Frog impression, and he has the puppet for it too. He can do a lot of various voice impressions, and he also has a light interest in puppets.
Jim Henson, the creator of the Muppets, was born in Mississippi.
At this point I might as well just make Mississippi a big plushie enthusiast. He’s the type of guy to have a large pile of a single kind of plushie like for Pikachus, Kirbys, Garfields, etc. But, his hoard is just for catfish plushies (plus one Whiscash). Whether realistic or cutified, or mass produced or handmade, he is enthusiastically collecting them all.
Belzoni, Mississippi is the Catfish Capital of the World. The state is also first in catfish production.
‘Sippi always feels slightly guilty for a moment when he returns to his room after a good meal of fried catfish and sees all his catfish plushies staring at him.
I’m imagining a scene where Mississippi’s room gets barged into by some Southern states (presumably to find something), with ‘Sippi already taking the precaution of stuffing all his catfish in his closet before his colleagues find out about this “unmanly” hobby of his. Cue his closet comedically exploding with catfish plushies when one of the states inevitably opens the door.

(More or less coherent) Thoughts on Downton Abbey: A New Era
This is going to be a very long post, so be prepared.
To start with the non-spoilery bits: I loved it, it was great to see these characters again. The scenery is breathtaking, the castle is still beautiful, the costumes are stunning, the cast is wonderful. I definitely recommend to watch it!
And now to the spoilery stuff:
It was a great idea to start with Branson’s wedding, because it gives an oportunity to do a roll call as both the family and the servants would be there, and it was so nice too see everyone again.
I also loved that we could see some recurring characters in this film as well (unlike in the first one), it was great to see Mr Mason, Dr Clarkson, and Mr Murray!
It was a nice and smart move of Violet to leave the villa to Sybbie as otherwise she wouldn’t inherit anything.
I had to admit, I started laughing when they first mentioned the Marquis of Montmirail, because do you know who else is a Montmirail?
This guy:
Tumblr media
Well, he was the Count of Montmirail, not the Marquis, but still, the thought of him being related to the Crawleys and thus having the possibility to wreak havoc in Downton with his servant is equally amusing and terrifying.
(For those who are not familiar with him, this is Godefroy de Montmirail (played by Jean Reno) of the 1993′s film Les Visiteurs (The Visitors), a French comedy about a medieval knight and his servant (played by Christian Clavier) being transferred to the modern-day France. I saw this film about a hundred times when I was a child.)
The film within a film storyline was my favourite, it was very well done, and gave us an opportunity to see what is it like when a film crew invades a stately home (which actually happened to Highclere Castle). Also, letting the servants be the extras in the final scene and thus giving the downstairs actors to wear really fancy costumes was brilliant. Not only plotwise,  but because in several interviews (especially in the early seasons) I heard the downstairs actresses talking about the so-called ‘costume envy’, and now they had the chance to dress up, too. Plus, I really loved when Mr Carson came out in his costume, saying how outrageous this was and Mr Hughes told him that his outfit wasn’t really different from his regular clothes, because this also had been mentioned several times that Jim Carter’s costumes had gone through the least changes over the years. I know these things are not everyone’s cup of tea, but I really enjoyed these kind of inside jokes and self-reflection (and I’m pretty sure there are many more in the film we don’t even know about).
The now infamous hat shop scene was like that, too, when the shopkeeper thought Maud was Carson’s wife. I think it was very funny.
Back to the film within the film, I was so happy that Mr Molesley also got his opportunity to shine, and he did shine brightly. Him becoming a scriptwriter was so well-deserved, and Kevin Doyle was great in the role. I really loved the scene when he described the ending he imagined for The Gambler, and Mary was standing there with Mr Barber, touched by his ideas.
I also loved Daisy’s scene with Myrna Dalgleish, I really enjoyed watching her turning into Mrs Patmore giving the actress a pep talk. This was also very nice because at the beginning of the film Mrs Patmore says something about trying to make Daisy happy. And all the scheming to get Mrs Patmore together with Mr Mason... it was nice to see them finally getting together.
I have read mixed reactions about Thomas’ storyline and I have to admit, I liked that he decided to go with Guy Dexter, even though their relationship didn’t start as easily as it did with Richard Ellis. Although I have to add that Thomas and Richard were basically equals, they both worked in service, but Guy was different as Thomas had to serve him and him being that friendly (I’m not sure that’s the right word) was definitely not something Thomas was used to. Now that he was a butler, he basically achieved everything he could in his profession, and as Guy’s dresser, he would have the opportunity to travel as well, and a chance to be loved properly, to quote Elton John in Rocketman. Plus, he was heartbroken over Richard which I think made his decision easier to make. I hope they will be fine together and become the gay power couple of 1928.
Also, shoutout to Mrs Hughes and Mary for being so supportive regarding Thomas’ sexuality. And to the Hungarian translator of the film who translated Guy Dexter’s original name (Quentin Sidebottom or something like that, I can’t remember) as Tom Porka which sounds like a slavic name, but read together is “Tomporka” which sort of means “little butt” (tompor is a word for butt and -ka is a diminutive suffix in Hungarian).
What I really liked about the French villa storyline was that it put the Crawleys onto the other side of the hereditary coin. The series started with the Crawleys having an outsider heir, a complete stranger to take away what should be theirs, and now they are the outsider heirs who come to take away the villa from Madame Montmirail and her son. I think that’s a pretty clever parallel.
On Robert’s illegitimacy plotline: now that George was born, the Crawleys’ hereditary issues are now resolved, so the possibility of Robert being the Marquis’ son was more of an internal conflict, and I know those things aren’t so interesting visually, perhaps it’d have been more interesting to see more of this, but well, this is a 2-hour film and not a TV series. Still, it was a little weightless, although I have to admit I did wonder whether he was illegitimate or not. (However, I was more afraid that Violet would die before she could tell the truth and we would have never known what had happened)
Cora’s health problems also seemed pretty weightless to me as well, it would have worked a lot better if this were a tv show and not a film. I think it was there so the people might start suspect that it might be her who would die, and when I first heard that Cora would have some health issues, I asked myself “what if Fellowes does something unexpected and instead of Violet he kills off someone else?” (Not that I’d wanted Violet to be killed off, but she was the most likely to go) On the other hand, I liked Robert’s emotional outburst and when Cora decided to help Myrna with her accent.
I also thought Edith’s investigation would be a bit more prominent (I know, this is a 2-hour film), but I’m glad she’s writing again.
As for the Bransons, I wish we could have seen more of the development of their relationship, because after the wedding, they basically were the happy couple and that was it. Also, the baby Branson is a boy or a girl? I can’t remember.
I think it was a wise move of sending Carson away from Downton during the filming and there is something very endearing in the way Mrs Hughes calls him Charlie.
Mary was great during this film, I loved her storyline, the way she handled the whole filming process, and that it was her who initiated the transition to a talking film. I also loved her dynamics with Mr Barber (and Mr Barber in general, he was a great addition to the characters), I ship them since I’ve found out about the voice acting storyline, and while they didn’t get together in the end, I really enjoyed their scenes, to watch their relationship develop, and to see that the attraction was mutual between them, and not just another suitor being head over heels in love with Mary but without any results. Putting him in parallel with Matthew was a smart move and Mary rejecting him in the end kind of mirrored Violet’s storyline with the Marquis.
Violet’s death scene was done very well. It was very sad, but it was very nice that the whole family was there, and Edith and Mary were holding each other, it was such a great scene.
Although I think Mary might still be too young to be Violet 2.0. But I loved the Mary-Carson scene, it was great!
And I don’t think Andy would be suitable for the role of the butler. To begin with, he wants to be a farmer, so I hope he says no to the offer and they hire a 40-something bloke who would get on Mr Carson’s nerves.
I’m so happy for Mr Molesley and Baxter! It’s a well-deserved ending for them! And I really liked the scene between her, Bates and Mr Carson.
The costumes were stunning again, my favourite pieces were Lucy’s blue coat at the beginning, Edith’s Riviera outfit (the one with the orange robe), and Mary’s pyjama set with the dark red robe, that was absolutely gorgeous. Also, I don’t know if it was on purpose, but Mrs Patmore’s costume in The Gambler has a similar colour of the dress Barbra Streisand wore in the restaurant scenes of Hello, Dolly! And this is the scene where she is trying to settle the things with Mr Mason. Anyway, it was a nice touch.
Also, there were a few things I didn’t like. First of all, there are too many things happening in the film and you just can’t feel the weight of them (Cora’s health, for instance), and there were a few of these plotlines that would have needed more screentime to really hit. Well, I think if it wasn’t a two-hour film, but a new season or a half-season, they would have had enough time to elaborate on these.
Second, Mr Bates. I know that I was just mentioning that there were too many things happening in the film, but poor Mr Bates doesn’t really have anything to do here. I love him, I loved his scene with Baxter and Mr Carson, but besides that he couldn’t do much which is a pity because Brendan Coyle is so good at this role. I would have loved to see a scene where he and Robert discuss this whole illegitimacy thingy, or having a chat with Guy Dexter.
Overall, I loved the film, it was great, and thank you for reading this really long rambling!

A few amused thoughts on Downton Abbey: A new Era
Small spoilers below. Not detailed, just tidbits.
The funniest installment yet, by far. Zingers and one liners abound; I've cackled a lot. Especially Maggie Smith.
Not only do we get Jim Carter and Imelda Staunton in few scenes, one involves a shopkeep accidentally calling Maude 'his wife' 🤣
Carson and Mary hugs ☺️
The Carsons reading in bed. Old boobies. Plus the Parkers, Baxley and Mrs Patmore/Mr Mason. My heart!
Mary helping Elsie literally get rid of her husband. Founnd Mary to have finally matured.
Elsie and Thomas (and later, Mary) having one of the most open, and best, conversations about his sexuality.
Emotion bursting out of Robert like the thing in 'Alien'
The last scenes (if you know, you know)... can we talk about how they had the ENTIRE cast for those shots?! I want the behind the scenes for that!
Chelsie shippers: we now know the old Butlers name! Please adjust fan fics accordingly.
Matthew and Sybil are definitely not forgotten ❤
I felt like there was a hefty bit of fan service here. Or somebody who reads fan fic slipped JF some notes. All our downstairs crew are paired up.
Honestly Kevin Doyle is a gem. And Molesley has a wild imagination.
Enjoyed it more than the first movie, but they are quite different movies. 8/10

no ocean between us - a season 2 instrumental soundtrack
tracklist + context/inspo behind each song below (under the cut) so you can see the picture i’m trying to paint with this short playlist - and yes, it’s intended to be listened to in order! i put so much love into this so i hope you listen and can maybe imagine the scenes i’ve written!
1) longing to see you… - david clavijo | ed and stede are still separated at this point, with nighttime shots of them from their respective boats, unaware that they’re both looking out at the same sea as the distance between them closes. jim and olu and lucius and pete do the same.
2) when the grass was greener - nino rota, alice sara ott | there is some conflict for stede’s small broken-up crew, and as they fight, there are flashbacks to when ed gave stede swordfighting lessons, making present stede more determined.
3) the chain - one piano (fleetwood mac cover) | izzy spots stede and the crew on the horizon through a spyglass, informing ed who stands with one hand braced on the ship’s railing, an unreadable expression on his face and the wind whipping his hair wildly. from his other hand, a bottle of rum falls to the deck and smashes.
4) underwater - ludovico einaudi | stede and his small group fight their way onto the revenge. it’s chaos, the deck seemingly filled with people now - including lucius, who appears as if a ghost and makes to charge at ed, but is held back by pete. izzy is barking at him to arm himself to “kill the fuckers, end this now” but ed can’t hear him, can’t focus on his new crew as they clash with the old. he seeks out stede amongst the umpteen heads and when their eyes meet, stede’s earnest and wide, ed’s own harden and he suddenly raises a gloved hand and demands an end. everything stops all at once. then stede says one word on a shuddering breath: “ed.”
5) home sweet home - pieter de graaf | ed agrees to talk in private in the captain’s quarters that stede’s sure are no longer his. stede trails his fingers over the door regardless, momentarily reminded of the door back in barbados but clearly glad to be home on the revenge now. they step in. it takes stede a moment once he’s fully in the room, turning on the spot, before the light and smile drain from his face and he realises it is a shell of its former glory (0:55 of the song) and his things are seemingly all gone. there’s a moment of melancholy, a lingering look between the pair. ed orders him to talk, so stede talks, and can’t seem to stop talking once he does, seated on the bed with his hands nervously on his knees. ed’s reaction appears mostly guarded with little flickers of emotion, but he wordlessly crosses to the small bust and opens the entrance to the auxiliary wardrobe. (1:26 of the song) it’s all there. he kept it. revealing it is the beginning of accepting an olive branch. stede stands before it and his chest slowly puffs out, and he looks at ed with a renewed smile. ed returns it.
6) sure on this shining night - samuel barber, sheku kanneh-mason, isata kanneh-mason | a montage of tenderness between our three revenge couples - ed and stede, jim and olu, pete and lucius - as they spend some time alone again. first, pete and lucius share a kiss and close conversation, some laughter, before lucius sits back and begins a fresh sketch of his lover. next, olu takes jim’s hat and pops it onto his own head with a smile, and jim moves in closer, shaking their head and leaning up to kiss him.
ed and stede’s scenes are just as loaded on intimacy, but a different kind of closeness. first, ed removes himself from a bath and finishes the personal ritual by finally washing his face of his own volition. when he steps out to greet stede after, wrapped in stede’s thick golden robe, stede’s smile is impossibly bright. he does however lift a hand to ed’s jaw, tracing the stubble, and says, “how do we feel about this?” ed shrugs, hands clasped. “it’s fucking annoying.” after that, stede learns the extra patience and care it takes to shave someone else at sea rather than himself. it’s made more bearable with familiar lavender soap.
7) gnossienne no. 5 - lavinia meijer (erik satie cover) | stede has one last surprise of his own when he reveals a small piece of red silk, much to ed’s wide and disbelieving stare. “i believe this may have been misplaced. fine things should stay together,” stede says, kindly avoiding the truth of it as he places it into ed’s palm, and ed is hit all at once with why he fell in love in the first place. it’s the night on the deck again, after the party, only this time stede is deliberate in his words - and in his actions. because stede kisses him then, both their hands still holding the silk tight, and maybe stede is right. fine things should stay together. they should.
8) amour - jean-michel blais | stede wakes up in his own quarters, a vibrant dawn beyond the large windows framing his bed, and he sighs contently. there’s a snore, and it is revealed to be ed who sleeps against his chest as stede looks down at him fondly. soon after, they share a breakfast of tea and marmalade together, brought in by roach at stede’s apparent request. ed marvels - he hadn’t known where either had come from, as he was sure all traces of both were gone. as ed sits up in bed with a yawn, stede asks if he remembers the first time they did this, sat up high on the ship, and ed asks how he could ever forget. after a prolonged, sweet gaze, they clink their teacups gently together and both murmur a fond, “cheers.”
9) satie variation - erik satie, esther abrami, iyad sughayer | it’s nighttime on deck, and ed and stede both come to relieve buttons from the helm, who says “goodnight, cap’ns” to them both. olivia flies down to rest on his shoulder, stede saying a gentle and thrilled hello to her, and they take their leave. then ed and stede take their joint place at the wheel, ed’s arm around stede’s waist, and they share a smile. the wind blows around them gently, through their hair and the loose shirts they both wear, and in a blue-lit scene like the one after the party, their silhouettes share a kiss with the moon and stars as a backdrop. beyond them, the crew sleep comfortably amongst each other on the deck, a family back together again.
10) portside - wide eyed | a lingering view of the revenge as she sails to new adventures, fresh flags made by the crew hoisted high with one in particular right at the top, representing ed and stede - it’s blackbeard’s flag, but another figure stands with him, holding out a heart of his own for him to take.

jim mason + “you look miserable” - “the outside finally matches the inside”, angst
Sun was warm on your skin, hot in fact. At least the ocean stayed cool no matter how scorching the bright star made the Earth. Smiling, you kicked your feet underwater as you leaned back on your surf. You always loved the ocean. There was something about it that just drew you close, so dangerously close that you wouldn’t even mind drowning if it meant you understood some of its mysteries. One of them being a certain boy you were watching from the corner of your eye since you got into the water. He was currently riding a wave, distant look in his eyes as he watched the cliff above. Jim was… nice. It was fun to be around him, he was kind, but also mischievous. Not to mention handsome. He loved surfing and his sister was just as good a person once you got to know her. You grew close to them both, although you didn’t know the girl too much as she mostly kept to herself. Jim on the other hand was your close friend and you couldn’t help but worry about him.
Lately something felt off. He was still cracking jokes around your group of friends, still acting like the same good ol’ Jim… yet you felt in your gut that something was wrong. His smile didn’t reach his eyes and it was like he was slowly becoming more and more numb to the world around him with each passing day. And you absolutely hated it. “Hey.” A voice rang through the air and you jumped, violently dragged from your thoughts. You turned to its owner and smiled seeing it was the boy occupying your mind. “Hey,” you greeted back and he gave a smile of his own. That fake, fabricated smile you hated so much. At least now he was close enough for you to look at him without being constantly interrupted by your friends. He was sitting in pretty much the same position as you, but where you were relaxed, he was tense. As if he was expecting something bad to happen any second. He had dark circles under his eyes like he hadn’t slept well for some time – or was it that shit boys sometimes gave him? Just the thought made your stomach churn. “What?” He asked, playfully raising a brow at you noticing your inspection of him. Oh how you wished you could tune in on that tone. “You look miserable,” you stated matter-of-factly. Your eyes met and you held his gaze. It was unsure, taken aback even. You imagined the gears grinding in his brain. Then he chuckled humorlessly in defeat, a sigh escaping his lips. “The outside finally matches the inside.” He bit his lip, turning away from you. Before you thought about the consequences, you reached out and grabbed his hand. He turned back and you could see a single tear running down his cheek. “That’s not okay,” you said simply. “Wanna talk about it?” He lowered his eyes to where your hand rested over it, then they flicked to your group. “Maybe somewhere else?” He half-guessed and you could see he wasn’t sure about the idea. “I’d love to but I get it if it’s too personal or whatever,” you shrugged with a smile and meant to fold your hand back in your lap but his other hand gently pulled it back, trapping it in place. You gave him a curious look. “No, I mean,” he sighed, swallowing thickly, “Are you free tonight? Medina’s gonna be out and I don’t want to be alone.” He admitted and you gave him a sympathetic smile. “Sure, just say the place and time and I’ll be there,” you promised, squeezing his hand a bit. He seemed to appreciate the gesture, squeezing back. “Will you stay like this if I let go now?” He whispered so quietly you nearly didn’t hear him through the waves crashing against shore. You followed his gaze to your hands and your heart skipped a beat. “I will.” The words left your mouth before you even realized it. He carefully took his hand off yours as he let your fingers lace together. Your eyes met again and he smiled before turning his head to look at the ocean in front of you. You had to bite your lip to stop yourself from giggling. This smile of his was genuine.

Dear friends,
With seasons greetings, I am sending along this essay, inspired by a favorite holiday movie. Many friends shared their memories to help me write this back in 2020 -- Chris Brescia, Jan Dudones, Jim Griebsch, Bunk Griffin, Howard Riley, Jim and Keela Rogers, and our dear friend, Natalie Leduc, who, on December 8, 2020 came to the end of her truly wonderful life. We still miss her.
Best wishes from all of us at Historic Saranac Lake.
Amy Catania

It's a Wonderful Life, Tony Anderson by Amy Catania
"Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around he leaves an awful hole.” — It’s a Wonderful Life, 1946
This is a good time of year to watch It’s a Wonderful Life. Bedford Falls brings to mind Saranac Lake, and George Bailey reminds us of the wonderful lives of Saranac Lakers from the past like Alton “Tony” Anderson.
Tony Anderson fell ill with tuberculosis while working as a toolmaker in Southington, Connecticut. As a member of the Masons, he received financial help to come to Saranac Lake for treatment in 1919.
“I came here to die,” Tony used to say. Facing death, Tony received a gift, a chance to imagine the world without him. He made his home here and dedicated his life to giving back. He served as village mayor for nine terms. He worked as a volunteer ambulance driver and a plane spotter on top of the Hotel Saranac during the war. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge, the Elks Club, the Rotary, the Boat and Waterway Club, the hospital board, and the blood bank.
Each afternoon, Tony went home to his modest house on South Hope Street and sat on his porch in a cure chair. “Best seat in the house,” he called it. After his afternoon rest, he would go back to the theater for the shows.
Saranac Lake in the 1950s was a picture postcard of Bedford Falls. Everyone knew each other. Kids played together outside through all seasons. Downtown shops bustled year-round. The Adirondack Daily Enterprise was five times thicker than it is today. The theater, the radio station, civic organizations, and places of worship knitted the community together. Like the shadow of death cast by tuberculosis, the horrors of WWII inspired an appreciation for life and a sense of civic responsibility.
But forces were afoot that were beginning to devastate small towns around the country. Everywhere, industry and manufacturing were closing up shop. In Saranac Lake, the TB business came to an end. Jobs dried up and families left. Across America, suburban development was eroding downtown retail. Television offered solitary entertainment that took the place of public activities like going to the movies.
By the late 1960s, Tony Anderson’s beloved theater had fallen on hard times. The impeccably dressed ushers were gone, and, much to Tony’s chagrin, on Wednesday nights the Pontiac was showing titillating foreign films that reflected changing social mores. It seemed that only the bars were prospering. More and more, town was looking like Pottersville, Bedford Falls’ evil twin in the movie. Then, on December 19, 1978, a massive fire devastated the Pontiac Theater. Three years after the fire, Saranac Lake’s longest serving mayor died at the age of 82.
It’s a sad ending to Tony’s story. Real life usually doesn’t get a Hollywood ending. Saranac Lake will always have plenty in common with Bedford Falls and Pottersville. And unlike George Bailey, most of us won’t ever meet our guardian angel.
But “It’s a Wonderful Life” reminds us that, even in the midst of regret and loss, we can find beauty and purpose in daily life. This is one of the most important things we do at Historic Saranac Lake, we honor the lives of the regular people who came before us. We pay attention to people like George, Ernie, Bert, Mary, Mr. Gower, Martini, Harry, the woman at the bank who asks for only $17.50, and even Mr. Potter. We remember Natalie Leduc, Mary Hotaling, Andy Rawdon, Jane and Walter Webb, and Tony Anderson.
Merry Christmas, movie house! Merry Christmas, Emporium! Merry Christmas, you wonderful old Building and Loan! Happy Holidays, Saranac Lake!
Saranac Lake students presented about Tony Anderson at his grave in Pine Ridge Cemetery in 2019, part of Historic Saranac Lake’s annual 5th grade history tour.

Oh yeah totally, never saw them or never wanted them to marry in a church (I mean I'm not religious even less catholic so I'm glad lol), but a later spring/early summer wedding in the Carisi backyard or something sunnier and warmer than a courthouse I would have preferred. I mean yeah it kind of fit of them to marry in a courthouse they basically live there 😂, and it's christmas season, but at least a post wedding celebration outside would have been nice. I'm still hoping for a second ceremony with all the family during warmer seasons but I know the chances are veeeery slim lol.
I know you sent this like yesterday anon - but I got home from work yesterday and was hit with a migraine and was just down for the count for the rest of the evening.
Anon, I was raised around Catholics, Christians and Southern Baptists....and i cannot stand any of them.
We know she's at least a little bit religious - she did pray after she shot Esther and Billie (and I'm assuming Jesse) are baptized but like I've tried and tried; but I just cannot picture Amanda Rollins getting married in any church. Idk. She's always been the run to the courthouse in my mind kind of girl.
Though I do think that Amanda would have done the big church wedding for Carisi if that's what he wanted - but he never would have made her. So that's where the compromise in an early spring somewhere in Staten Island wedding would have come from.
In a perfect world (where Dick Wolf wasn't a well, Dick), I was hoping for a little Staten Island wedding with Fin and Liv and Noah, the girls, and Carisi's parents and sisters (and kids). I guess we can have Beth Anne so we can have Mason but Jim Fucking Rollins ain't invited. And I even had it imagined that either Fin would walk her down the aisle or she'd do it herself BUT then I thought about the image of Dominick Sr walking her down the aisle after watching Blue Bloods and seeing Frank walking Eddie down the aisle.

All of this Stan Vogel stuff is making me think about camping. What do you think all the Cody boys would be like if their s/o forced them to go on a camping trip?
this was a lot of fun to do!
-
it's not news that michael langdon spent a few days in the woods prior to stumbling across the satanic temple and he's made it very clear that he would rather not go through any of that again. but the apocalypse was soon to come, and the world, as everyone knew it, would cease to exist. no more beautiful sunny days or lush green meadows full of flowers native to the area - all of which you loved dearly. so michael didn't put up a fight when you asked him to spend one last weekend out in nature, despite hating the idea with every fiber of his being. instead, he simply enjoyed the next few days with you at your favorite spot by the lake, deciding if ending the world was something he absolutely wanted to go through with.
as for duncan shepherd, he is completely revolted by the idea of camping. when you had mentioned you wanted to go on vacation, he figured it was to bora bora or maybe even paris, not a campsite in west virginia. several days out of D.C., in the middle of nowhere, with no cellphone reception, and no wifi is not his idea of a fun time and he makes it his mission to get you to change your mind. you don't, of course, and can't help but giggle at his pouty faces and complaints about how bugs shouldn't even exist.
jim mason, on the other hand, is all for a weekend of camping. before his family moved to palos verdes, camping trips were a regular occurrence for him - when things were a lot simpler. he sees this as an opportunity to show you who he really is, down to his roots. he takes care of packing the basic camping essentials and setting up the tent once at the campground. the next few days are filled with him teaching you how to fish and you showing him which constellations are which come nighttime.
we all know our boy stan vogel would never object to camping, however, he is completely shocked when the idea slips from your mouth. after all, he is always the one doing the initiating while you whine and groan about how he needs to get a new hobby. he goes above and beyond to make sure every single thing (whether needed or not) is packed because, "you never know, babe. stranger things have happened in these woods. not that i can tell you what, exactly, it's all confidential."
the first time you asked xavier plympton to go camping, he laughed in your face. "me? camping? babe, the outdoors and this hair do not get along," he says, pointing to his perfectly styled locks. after a few bats of your lashes and, "please, xav?" in that voice he finds so adorable, he eventually gives in. once he's out there, he finds himself enjoying the peace and quiet compared to the hustle and bustle of L.A.
the stars and planets have to align in order for andy dolan to agree to a camping trip. every day with him is spent walking on egg shells, not wanting to upset him with the mere mention of doing anything other than staying home and doing blow all day long. you want to get out and enjoy some time away, thinking it’ll do the both of you some good. much to your surprise, he agrees, without much effort needed on your part. he’s actually excited to get out of eden for a few days and away from the watchful eyes of the paparazzi.
