#ok that is enough tags

[thunck]

Recently I’ve been watching some religious programming.

Specifically, the sitcoms Father Ted (1995) and The Vicar of Dibley (1994). The former is a somewhat cynical Catholic affair, a tightly-written masterpiece of the medium that’s the funniest one I’ve seen in a long time. It follows a trio of priests who are all terrible at their job, living on a desolate island off the coast of Ireland. Along with their housekeeper, they attempt to deal with their many problems (often of their own making) and strive in vain to better their dismal lives.

Vicar, meanwhile, is a generally-cute little Anglican-flavored show that follows a rural English town’s first female Vicar as she tries (successfully) to shake things up and improve the community, often butting heads with the conservative parish council chairman.

The biggest difference in these two blessed shows is one of craft, I think. Father Ted is just much, much better-written and planned-out. By episode two of Father Ted every character’s traits are pretty firmly established, and by the middle of season 1 they’re getting laughs by subverting running gags.

Vicar, meanwhile, really struggles with characterization. Throughout the first season various characters will try out a joke for an episode (each character is afforded approximately one personal joke), only to abandon it by the next episode.

Vicar of Dibley also flirts with sincerity a lot more than Father Ted. Infinitely more often, in fact, since the majority of Catholic Priests depicted in Ted (which also happen to be the majority of the cast) are, humorously, not particularly religious. Dibley has only one Vicar and she might have a poster of Mel Gibson next to her framed picture of The Lord but damn it, she still loves Jesus.

Performance-wise, Father Ted is the clear winner. All of the cast do a good job in Vicar of Dibley (with a few standouts, including the lead, Dawn French of French & Saunders), but literally every performance in Father Ted is stellar. Each of the leads are individually hilarious and give it their all every time they’re on screen. Particularly Pauline McLynn as the housekeeper Mrs. Doyle-- whenever she gets the spotlight she really milks it for all it’s worth, to amazing effect.

Both shows ran for a similar number of episodes, but Ted’s seasons were consecutive-- Vicar had pretty long breaks in between. Everybody involved with Father Ted agreed that it had run its course at the end of season 3, and so they went out on a high note. High, that is, excepting the tragic death of star Dermot Morgan while the final season was still airing. Anyway, it’s a legacy anyone would be proud of.

Oh, and Father Ted was co-created & co-written by notorious arch-TERF Graham Linehan, albeit before the apparent psychotic break he suffered after having a subsequent show which was entirely his baby criticized. So, there’s that.

All in all, Father Ted is must-watch television and apparently a gateway to understanding Irish culture. The scripts of all 25 episodes of Father Ted, I am told, comprise the text of the Irish Bill of Rights! Vicar of Dibley is also a show that you can watch, and is fine. Final scores:

FATHER TED:

parishioners (global) - 1.36 Billion with a “B”

good jokes - 999

problematic episodes - ~1 (not including the one about racism)

future Doctors Who - none, probably

beautiful songs - 3, exactly

THE VICAR OF DIBLEY:

parishioners (global) - 85 Million

good jokes - 5

problematic episodes - 0 (so far!)

future Doctors Who -  Peter Capaldi

beautiful songs - approximately 2, both sung by a swarthy farmer

Anyway, I decided to do blogging again I guess. The filthy posts from 2016 & previous are kept for posterity but please do not look at them with your eyes. Also I might remove Beardman from his place of undue prominence.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

#yeehaw #1k #5k #10k #posts that got cursed. blasted. im making these tag updates after... 19 hours? #also i have been told it should say speech loss bc nonverbal specifically refers to the permanent state. did not know that! #unfortunately i fear it is so far past containment that even if i edited it now it would do very little. but noted for future reference #edit 2: nvm enough ppl have come to rb it from me directly that i changed the wording a bit. hopefully this makes sense #also. in case anyone is curious. though i doubt anyone who is commenting these things will check the original tags #1) my friend did not do this on purpose in any way. it was not intended to distract me or to hit on me. im a lesbian hes a gay man. cmon now #he felt very bad about it afterwards. i thought it was hilarious but it was very embarrassed and apologetic #2) “why didn't he use 🫵🏼?” didn't exist yet. “why didn't he use 🆗?” dunno! we'd been using a lot of hand emojis. 👌🏼 is an ok sign #like it makes sense. it was just a silly mixup. also No i did not invent 👉🏼👌🏼 as a gesture meaning sex. do you live under a rock #3) nonspeaking episodes are a recurring thing in my life and have been since i was born. this is not a quirky one-time thing #it is a pervasive issue that is very frustrating to both myself and the people i am trying to communicate with. in which trying to speak is #extremely distressing and causes very genuine anguish. this post is not me making light of it it's just a funny thing that happened once #it's no different than if i post about a funny thing that happened in conjunction w a physical disability. it's just me talking abt my life #i don't mind character tags tho. those can be entertaining. i don't know what any of you are talking about #Except the ppl who have said this is pego/ryu or wang/xian. those people i understand and respect #if you use it as a writing prompt that's fine but send it to me. i want to see it #aaaand i think that's it. everyday im tempted to turn off rbs on it. it hasn't even been a week

First batch of this little series, inspired by @petitprincess1's idea! I couldn't get this scenario out of my head so of course I drew it.

Get ready because it will have at least 8 pages! Probably my longest comic yet

There will be some angst but the violence will overall be canon-typical!

oughhh ..... waking up in the middle of the night or just a little too early and your f/o groggily tugging you back into place with some little half-coherent words of encouragement. call them selfish, but they'll take the label with no complaint if it means they get to have you lie down at their side just a while longer. the tired little motions they go through to try and make sure that you're able to fall back asleep before they let themself do the same, whether that be tracing shapes along your skin in gentle little gestures or even humming, they're putting the effort in even though sleep might be clinging onto them like a 2 ton weight.

THE QUIET ONE ☠️🕸️

I AM SO PROUD OF THIS AHHHHHHH

I decided I wanted to have a go at using procreate’s symmetry tool and it was SO fun

Her silhouette is meant to look like a spider with her headband being the fangs and hair strands being the legs!! I also think it looks like a heart too which is pretty neat :D

This took me AGESSS because I kept changing the colour pallette and background, I love how it turned out though and the only thing I would change is that it’s kinda hard to see her bowing pose bc of all the dark colours 😭😭

I LOVE associating spiders with Harumi which is pretty ironic considering i’m arachnophobic 💀

I don’t think it’s used that much in the show other than the like spider they used to bug the bounty but I have chosen to RUN with it

#gonna start using the read more thing to stop flooding you guys dashes with my rambling LMAO #OKOK BUT GENUINELY THIS IS MY NEW FAV NINJAGO FANART IVE MADE #I LOVE HARUMI SO MUCH #idk if this would be considered enough for a spider warning #tw spiders #just in case #ok robin do the actual tags already #ninjago #harumi ninjago #harumi jade #robinzart

Was thinking about this earlier and IMO I don't think common binders would be best suited for adventurers during dangerous long hauls

#dungeon meshi #chilchuck #laius thorden #laios touden #tumatawart #This was supposed to be in addition to the last art post w/ Laius taping but I thought it would look better separate #I also wanted to include Chilchuck wearing his binder over an undershirt somewhere as I tend to do that but it wouldn't be very interesting #I've never been one to be self-indulgent with headcanons so drawing this was a little exciting.
