I made a thing!! I just realized Marcus Pike bby in The Mentalist is on HBO Max in 1080p, and inspired by @prolix-yuy's amazeballs video edit preview for her geniously-cast Tim Rockford/Dieter Bravo-involved upcoming fic Midnight Alley, and because my friend @davnittbraes has filled my head with the most wonderful Tim Rockford x Marcus Pike x reader kindling for thots and angst and 🫠😌, my brain screamed VIDEO EDIT at me and I must obey her.
Because holy stars, this was so fkn fun, it was like a puzzle to figure out how to tell a story from limited visual and audio source material, and OH HOW this story just LEAPT OUT AT ME and I AM SHIPPING THEM SO HARD, the grumpy/sunshine and emotionally available/closed off vibes and age difference of these two has me in my feels! LOOKIT Marcus' faaaaace! The emotions they share on their faces at the "I wouldn't lie to you" part? 🥹 Give these two all the best things!!! (and then share with me.) Enjoy!!

Allusions (3/?): Gustave Dore’s Death on a Pale Horse
This scene really stood out to me the first time I watched Season One. Here, an unconscious Clarke is being carried away from the Grounders by a masked man on horseback. We don’t know until later that the rider is Lincoln.
It starts in slow-motion, moving the figures in-and-out of obscurity, and gradually transitions to real-time. At the same time, the audio overlays the sound of hoofbeats with the slow beating of Clarke’s heart, quickening as she wakes. It feels as if Clarke is gradually waking from one nightmare only to be riding towards the next.
My first thought during this scene was of Gustave Dore’s Death on a Pale Horse (even down to the horse’s gusts of breath, its flowing mane, and the eerie shadows shifting in the background):
This engraving illustrates Revelations 6:7-8 from the Bible, which prophesies the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and the end of the world.
I am seeing Lincoln, implacable and silent in his skull mask, standing in for an iconographic depiction of Death on his nightmare steed. This not only foreshadows Lincoln’s upcoming transformation into a Reaper, but also provides a striking image of Clarke, cradled in Death’s arms, riding on towards all the events leading to the Apocalypse/Praimfaya.
Bonus! The Commander of Death leaving Polis on her pale horse:
I made this video edit using Premier Pro for this post a while back. The main tutorials I used to lighten dark footage and do a fade out at the end were these:

Hi, I'm Shirks! I fell in love with the adorkable human bean we know as Pedro Pascal in 2021 (his Darkest Timeline podcast appearance cemented my love and is the source of my profile pic 🥰) and have been eating up all the amazing fic based on his characters here on the Tumbles and AO3 ever since. I am friendly, come say hello! 👋 I appreciate soft feels and feral smut in equal measure, so this is an 18+ only space, thank you!

Creations I'm proudest of:
Discovering the local filming location of (and taking a pilgrimage to) where baby Pedro played lil cutie mechanic Ricky Hauk in Touched By an Angel (2000), my lil Tim Rockford x Marcus Pike romantic video edit that never fails to pull at my heart strings, and my thirst-giffing of Joel Miller that booked me directly into horny jail. 😌 And not really a creation, but my post compiling salty Utahn reactions to a Joel Miller meme about SLC still tickles me 😆.
So I added some new music to What If Episode 4 ‘What If... Doctor Strange Lost His Heart Instead of His Hands?’... Look... If a man screams ‘Christine!’ there’s only one thing I’m going to think of...
I’m especially sorry to @geickogarbage for telling them I was making something terrible, and then finishing making it.
So, um… yeah. This is now a thing. Sorry & all that if this causes anyone the same issues it caused me (but I'm not really sorry) 📽️ Edit: me 📸: I have no idea, they're just some perv I've picked up & Google Photos made into an animation that I put music to 🎶: Give It To You (acapella version) by Our Sensuous, Sexy Sir, @jordanknightofficial ❤️ 😈 👄 🥵 🤯 ❤️ 😈 👄 🥵 🤯 #jordan #jordanknight #jordanknightofficial #nkotb #newkidsontheblock #mixtapetour #myvideoedit #hot #sexy #knightsinwhitesatin #anythingbutgrey #callhimsir #ficcingminxmusings #jordanknightschest #jordanknightsarms #jordanknightsnipples #licklicklick https://www.instagram.com/p/CEfJSTEHzOV/?igshid=1hv5g90popynj
