IT'S THE BOYYYY, MY [deceased ;-;] BOY-

My heart hurts whenever I write about him I'm gonna cry but he's so perfect to me you have no idea

Ok, so, I have written so much on this man because of how overly complicated I made Buster's entire family situation. But I can't. Share. A single. Crumb. Of. It. And it's killing me. Guys, I'm dying. I'm simply gonna perish if I don't write about him. So. I'm gonna headcanon dump, heehee :> [gonna do this with a bunch of other characters once I get art for them going ~_~] [I look at my drafts and weep-]

TD!Charley:

Age: 47 [deceased] Height: 3' 02" [96cm] Male - He/Him Sexuality: Aroace Build: H A T

The name is a headcanon in itself. Charley. He was never given a real canon name for whatever reason.

It just felt like it fit

Oh boy,

Ok, heavy lore time-

TW: Mentions of religious trauma and [briefly] kidnapping

[there's a fluff tab if you're wanting to skip all that]

So for a quick lore-dump, there was a HUGE war between the different animals [mammals, reptiles, and birds being the most prominent groups] that lasted from 1903-1955, before finally cutting off because a bunch of animals had practically gone extinct

Koalas being one of them

And Charley was born in late 1956, right after the war had ended, so yeah. Generational trauma's real rough-

Plus his hometown [all Koalas btw] was extremely religious and controlling over him, and he wasn't even allowed to buy his own clothes until he started to carve out his own life in Calatonia

The only thing they let him do was play music, usually with the idea that he'd be playing for the church band

[which he never did]

He was set up on arranged dates, made to feel like he was wrong for not wanting a relationship, and ridiculed for his desire to have a different life in the city- along with a lot of other things I probably couldn't fit into this post

He has a sister, Holly Moon, who is 4 years younger than him, who was seen as a golden child because she always listened and did everything their parents asked

[Parents being Darrick and Kara, for more TD lore]

He had a horrible family life before sprinting away at age 18 to Calatonia to hopefully make it big

This is where he met animals who weren't Koalas for the first time

Let me reiterate that- first time

[he'd read about other animals and seen what a few of them looked like in pictures, but never the real thing]

He learned the true meaning behind the words his family always spoke

"Make a family, there aren't many of us left"

Yeah, he was the only Koala in Calatonia for a good minute

Which kinda sent him spiraling-

Imaging you growing up in a small gated community, where you're a human around other humans, and then you leave and find out that there aren't any humans left and the rest of the world has been populated by aliens or something

He was very curious at first, which got him into some trouble

He met Harry after almost getting poached/getting ganged up on and almost kidnapped. Harry saved him, took him to calm down at his restaurant for the night, and the two quickly became friends

Ok, fluff time

Meeting Harry for the first time, the thing he offered Charley was a sandwich, which would start Charley's "give sandwich = I care about you" thing

Like his go-to way of making friends after this encounter would be to meet somewhere for sandwiches

It became a comfort food, and an introduction into other flavors besides the basic food groups + eucalyptus

This little quirk got passed down to Buster

Amazing cook

Like, he invented a couple of the recipes on the menu at Harry's Bar [despite having a diet of mostly eucalyptus, which is poisonous]

Even back in his hometown with his limited ingredients, he was fantastic, but after learning that there were other foods, he got a little obsessed

He has a cookbook he put together [which got passed down to Buster, who cannot cook for the life of him lmao]

Harry tried to get him to go to culinary school or something, but Charley always insisted on loving his little bundle of odd jobs in Calatonia [including the carwash, which was his baby]

After coming to Calatonia, making his home in a shady little apartment complex [which he ABSOLUTELY ADORED], getting a job, and finally getting his first-ever paycheck, he immediately went thrifting

Which is where he got his raggedy hat and patchy coat

And learned what a turtleneck was

He taught Buster the art of thrifting too :D

He dresses like he's homeless by choice [mostly]

[money's always tight]

Back to the odd jobs that he got instead of getting a real job- Charley always hated "luxurious" things if that makes sense. Not only did it remind him of home, but he's just a minimalist in general

If he doesn't need it, he won't take it

Modest guy [opposite to his entire family ~_~]

The hat is kinda a symbol of his independence and freedom in a way, so that's a little sweet

He never takes his hat or coat off really, even in the hot summer days in Calatonia

Harry always has to remind him to drink water [woah, Koala moment]

Oh yeah, Koala stuff-

Harry ends up helping out Charley with the complete lack of Eucalyptus products in Calatonia by ordering it in with his usual imported restaurant food, and then just giving it to him

Harry insists on paying for it all, despite Charley's objections

Charley always gives monstrous tips when eating at Harry's to balance things out

He's actually pretty tall for a Koala

He made good friends with all of the waiters and staff and musicians at Harry's, and was always there for the music nights where Harry'd get someone to play atmospheric stuff on stage

You see this in the first movie

Charley's actually really great on the guitar, and has a very nice voice [I don't have a voice claim yet ;-;;;;;] so he was eventually given the offer to try playing in front of a crowd at Harry's. Which he took

[And Harry made him take money for it, of course]

Had no intention to have kids, but ended up taking in Buster due to family drama and strange circumstances [later explained in Tone Deaf] [also why they have different funky patterns btw! :DDD]

Please, it's so complicated-

He quickly fell in love with the idea of show business after seeing some street performers, and eventually got over his discomfort with doing illegal things [the idea of it being a sin really had him in a chokehold for a while-] and grew into his true personality of "very chill and very shady charlatan" after a few years away from his hometown

Actually, it was his urge to steal a ticket to see a show at the theater that drove him to get over it all

Learned how to pick locks and pockets to scrounge around enough money to get by

Charley and Harry were best friends. Practically brothers

To the point of Harry being called "uncle Harry" by young Buster

Charley was the best man at Harry's wedding to his Panda wife, Claire. Buster was given the honor of being both the flower boy and ring bearer lmao [he pulled it off]

Claire definitely mothered both Charley and Buster quite a bit

Back to Charley living in the apartment complex, he made good friends with an old Lizard who lived next door-

Yeah, Miss Crawley [Irene Crawley]

After Harry realized that Buster was an absolute demon child, Charley tried asking her to babysit instead

She must've had the magic touch or something, because he was perfectly behaved with her

Harry was speechless

Buster was absolutely a problem child, and Charley would frequently get calls from school about him [especially in elementary]

[half of the trouble he got into was due to bullies, but this ain't about him 🤭]

Charley taught Buster how to commit crime, and play guitar

And when he got older, the two would duet together at Harry's

[I'm crying it's so sweet]

Crawley would always bring homemade candies around to give to Buster when she came over to visit with Charley, specifically Turkish Delight

She eventually taught him [with lots of hand-holding] how to make the candy himself. If left alone, he'd just set things on fire and eat the chocolate chips plain though :D

She lost her lover in the war, and even before that, struggled with infertility problems [they were different species- working with the idea of a Gila Monster] so she never had any of the children she had wanted before the war basically ruined her life

She adored that child and never accepted pay

[she was paid by the government anyway since she was a war vet]

All of the money that Charley would slip into her pocket, she'd either secretly give right back, or spend it all on Buster

She was like a mother to him

Still is

She offered to help with the theater after Charley realized that the place didn't just come with staff

Charley and Buster's bond was basically unbreakable

Charley would always stand up to the school system whenever they treated Buster unjustly

[Trust me, there was a lot of prejudice against Koalas and other endangered species, no matter how small or harmless they seemed. People fear what they don't know, and to say Koalas are an oddity would be an understatement-]

[Like even irl, they're Marsupials, sure- but they're so different that they've been given a classification all to themselves called Phascolarctidae. They're so alone in the animal kingdom, it's not even funny. Their closest "relative" is the Wombat, and even then barely]

[Give me another animal that's even remotely similar to Koalas appearance-wise. Their facial structure, the double-thumbs, massive ears, the fact that they can only eat one thing, and it's poisonous [catch me writing Buster poisoning someone with eucalyptus >:D]- yeah, they're super interesting to work with. And of course, I give them hardships for it ~_~]

[Everyone that saw Buster and Charley just immediately knew they were endangered just because of how alien they looked]

["freaks"]

[They just rolled with it]

[Well, Buster was always bothered by it, but Charley was always there to tell him that it should be something to be proud of. Didn't always work all the way]

[I'll talk about Buster later, don't you worry]

[Ok enough with the gushing about Koala facts in brackets-]

Buster would also stand up for Charley during family gatherings [which they eventually just stopped going to entirely] because Charley would just freeze up and not say anything whenever people started fighting with him

✨trauma✨

The two protected each other is my point pretty much

Ok, for a rough timeline:

[1903 - 1955] - Great War [1956] - Charley was born [1960] - Holly was born [1974] - Charley ran away to Calatonia [1980] - Buster was born [1988] - Charley took Buster in [1990] - Harry meets Claire [1994] - Harry and Claire get married [1997] - Theater was sold to Charley and quickly opened [2003] - Charley is killed

It's fucking tragic how he dies

Like, him and Buster were literally in the middle of planning the show when Buster got the call

Late too

He couldn't get to the landline at first because he was busy with set design, and actually saw it a LOT later, which- yeah. Cue horrific amounts of stress as he bikes as fast as he can to the ER

"Where's dad!??" he's in the hospital bucko

Why must I kill all the characters I love-

Charley'd just gone out to get some supplies from like, home depot or something, and then yeah. Dead

Buster could never finish the show, so it sits collecting dust in the attic now

Grief made him unable to write much, which is how he eventually went into debt too

The whole thing with them is absolutely tragic, oh boy-

Can't wait to draw the funeral scene

Ok, so I keep forgetting what's been posted and what's still a draft, so sorry if something just- absolutely jumps out of nowhere here. I think I've mentioned the war before? And Poachers- I hope I at least mentioned Poachers-

Well, if you didn't know before, you do now ''':D

Thanks for reading

Little things I've noticed on my rewatch of 1x01

So, it's been a while since I've actually watched the show and I've started to miss Crowley and Aziraphale something fierce. So I've finally started at the beginning and here are some small things that stood out or that I didn't notice to that extend before. Nothing revolutionary, but maybe you'll enjoy / be devastated by it anyway.

Eden: Crawley saw Aziraphale before their talk on the wall since he mentions seeing him with a sword. They kept hanging around the garden for a while, but haven't talked that much since Az asks Crawley's name?

After receiving the Antichrist: Crowley is devastated. The way he days "Already?!" gets me every time. Is barely able to keep it together infront of Hastur and Ligur (terrific acting by David here). Immediately tries to call Aziraphale.

Park, going up the stairs: "It's not some little temptation I've asked you to cover for me while you're in Edinburgh for the festival". Their arrangement is so casually lived in by then. And the way Aziraphale lights up when he's invited to lunch. Also, Crowley's hair is stunning in the sun here.

After lunch: Az gets totally distracted by Crowley's company, forgets all about Armageddon or their disagreement over it. Wants to open a bottle for a "special occasion", tone indicating inside joke / hidden meaning. There's a theory about that being sexual, but while I support that headcanon I think it's more of a joke along the lines that it isn't actually a special occasion, because they drink together all the time.

Infront of the bookshop: "this is purely social" Sure Az, as if that makes it any better in heaven's judgement. Now you're just being silly! (see what I did there?)

Making the pact: How cute is Crowley here?!? I already knew that and think about it constantly, but seeing it again is something else still. I mean, seriously:

Babysitting Warlock: How somehow Nanny Ashtorath is able to sing so much better than I've ever heard David Tennant do (no offense) is a proper mystery to me.

Meeting on the bus: Why don't they talk on their job as nanny and gardener lol?They must have endless opportunities and still they hang out even more. Ok, probably more like a plot hole for coolness than being meant romantically on purpose here, but still.

Bus and dinosaur park: Crowley can't bring himself to tell Az the whole ugly truth about the antichrists power / the dog not to frighten him too much. This is really sweet and very telling about how he sees him as kind of naive and innocent. Also, he's protective snek. Another amazing thing here is how he doesn't even consider killing the Antichrist himself although he is been working against hell all along anyway. Ties nicely to the bandstand scene later.

In the shop: "Crowley: Would I lie to you? - Aziraphale: Obviously, you're a demon, that's what you do". While his is pretty hurtful towards Crowley and typically blindsided of Aziraphale, it's also so devastatingly accepting of him as well.

In the shop at the end ("he's named the dog"): Crowley is really, really afraid and that respectively makes Az nervous (the looming doom in his delivery of "welcome to the end times").

That was all for this round... In general it blew my mind how much of their story is already in episode one!

And I'll never get tired of mentioning how David and Micheal disappear completely into their characters. I try to admire their work in the moment, but I keep forgetting it's them. Only because I have seen so much of them by now can I spot them as the actors in tiny moments that last mere half-seconds. That's always a weird triumph. "ha! I've seen a glimpse of Micheal's smile there!" or "the way Crowley says 'helly hellhound' sounded very David" and that's basically it.

350 followers celebration!

Thank you everyone for getting me here! I know 350 followers aren’t much, but I’m grateful for every one of you! 🥰

I’m so grateful for the support and encouraging comments I’ve received for my work!

I started writing fanfiction in my notes app awhile ago, just for myself because you know gotta cope somehow and decided to put them out there to see if they’re any good. Turns out they are! I’m so blown away at the positive feedback I’ve received. It’s very encouraging, and inspires me to write more.

A little bit about me

🌹 My name is Madelyn, I’m 19 years old

🌹 I have a second blog dedicated to period dramas (check it out if that is something that intrigues you! 😊) @downton-musings

🌹 Where I want to live (rather than where I’m from): I would love to live in England one day! I’ve always been really into period dramas so I think that has fed some sort of delusion that living in England will be like living in a Jane Austen novel lol. In all seriousness, the English countryside is stunning and seems like a serene and peaceful place to reside. I’m imagining myself cozied up in a little cottage like Iris has in The Holiday, writing all day. Seems like a vibe.

🌹 Favorite color: Purple!

🌹 Favorite fictional character(s): Lucy Pevensie (The Chronicles of Narnia), Jane Eyre (Jane Eyre), Alice (Alice in Wonderland), Luna Lovegood (Harry Potter), Belle (Beauty and the Beast), Edith Crawley (Downton Abbey), Kya Clark (Where the Crawdads Sing) ~ I resonate with all of them in different ways

🌹 Favorite book: Jane Eyre (Best novel I’ve ever read in my life. Would recommend if you’re into gothic romances and older men 😏)

🌹 Personality type (mbti): INFP

🌹 Currently reading: The Picture of Dorian Gray (I’ve been getting into classics lately. Shoot me some recommendations if that’s your thing too!)

🌹 Currently listening to: Lana Del Ray, Oldies (Etta James, Sam Cooke, Judy Garland..)

🌹 3 things I couldn’t live without (assuming I have a phone and basic nessecities): Chapstick (religiously put it on every second of the day), A pen (or something to write with), Painted nails (I’ve been digging red lately)

I want to hear from you too! Feel free to answer the same questions and tag me!

Full Definitive S2 Good Omens Recap

Essentially, to illustrate both to myself and others, I’ve created basically a list of everything that happens per episode, including time-frames in order to both understand the plot better, and to force everything into a somewhat coherent structure for myself. Incredibly spoiler heavy of course, as its every event. This took like two hours. Enjoy!

Episode 1- The Arrival

Crowley and Aziraphale are shown as angels before the beginning.

Crowley creates a “star factory.”

Present day 2023

Aziraphale visits Maggie’s Record Shop to pick up several classical records.

Aziraphale lets Maggie off with the rent she is due to pay.

Crowley is approached by Shax alone at a park bench, she tells him something is “up” with heaven and gives him his mail.

Maggie visits the coffee shop to see Nina and talk to her, they watch a naked Gabriel make his way to the bookshop.

Aziraphale takes him inside the shop and questions him (with poor results).

Gabriel mentions a something terrible. He is also renamed Jim.

Michael speaks on the phone up in heaven about Gabriel’s missing status.

Shax approaches Crowley as he’s throwing away his bills beside his car, telling him that the problem is that Gabriel is missing.

In the bookshop, Aziraphale opens the box, finding it empty.

Crowley and Aziraphale reconvene at the coffee shop a “naked man friend” is mentioned.

Crowley finds Gabriel in the bookshop, he angrily questions him.

Aziraphale and Crowley argue in the background about how Aziraphale wants to protect him and Crowley does not. Crowley storms off.

In the street, Crowley has his melt down.

This sets off the emergency lock system in the coffee shop thus Maggie and Nina are locked in together, with both phones dead,

Uriel and Michael in heaven discuss Muriel finding an empty matchbox on the floor of heaven.

On earth, Beelzebub takes Crowley to hell, offering him a promotion and somewhat protection if he brings in Gabriel.

Crowley drives back to the bookshop, unlocking the coffee shop in the process.

Crowley does the “apology dance” for leaving.

They decide to perform a half miracle to hide Gabriel, believing it’ll be less noticeable.

Heaven finds out they did the miracle.

Episode 2: The Clue

Land Of Uz- Past. FLASHBACK

Crawley kills Job’s goats upon a mountain. Aziraphale tries to thwart him, but its revealed the demons have a permit from God.

Up in heaven, Aziraphale discovers that all of Job’s livestock and children will be killed, but replaced with double the amount. Aziraphale says that they’d perhaps like to keep their old children.

Present day- 2022

Shax threatens Crowley in his Bentley, believing they are hiding Gabriel within the bookshop.

Maggie tells Aziraphale about her difficulty with Nina and love life in the record shop. He says he’ll get back to her.

Aziraphale asks about the song “Everyday” by Buddy Holly as he heard Jim singing it, Maggie tells him a pub in Edinburgh has the song constantly on repeat on their jukebox.

Uriel, Michael and Sahaquiel interrogate Aziraphale within his bookshop, he tells them it was to make Nina and Maggie fall in love. They let him know someone will check this.

Aziraphale invites Crowley to the local pub, telling him he has to get them to fall in love before Heaven realizes its a lie.

Mr Brown, the head of the “Street Traders Association” asks Aziraphale to host a meeting. He accepts.

Jim speaks of the beginning in a trance like state for a few seconds.

Land Of Uz- Past FLASHBACK

Crawley speaks to Job and his wife, creating a narrative that he is an old friend, he demands to see their children.

When Crawley arrives, Aziraphale tries to stop him from hurting the children.

When he is about to leave, the goats are revealed to have been turned into the crows in the yard.

The pair greet the three children of Job, with Aziraphale warns them about the demon trying to kill them.

Crawley sets the room on fire, but they all fall into the cellar.

They are turned into lizards by Crawley.

Crawley attempts to tempt Aziraphale to wine, he refuses, however accepts the pork happily.

The day after, God speaks to Job.

The angels arrive and tells them they get double everything.

Crawley performs a trick to let them have their previous children. Aziraphale lies to them and says its definitely new children.

Hours or possibly days later, Crowley comes to Aziraphale at a cliff side, he reassures Aziraphale that he wont be taken to hell for lying about Job’s children.

Episode 3- I know Where I’m Going (The Ressurectionists)

Mrs.Sandwich and Nina have a conversation about Lindsay's control in the coffee shop.

Muriel visits the bookshop to check that Nina and Maggie are actually in love, instead Crowley and Aziraphale talk in the backroom and Muriel is told that humans take a few days to fall in love.

Aziraphale leaves in the Bentley for Edinburgh.

Edinburgh 1827

Crowley has invited Aziraphale to view a statue of Gabriel in a graveyard.

They come across a grave-robber (Elspeth) and help transport the body to the surgeon who uses it for medical research.

Present day-2022

Aziraphale messes with the Bentley mid-trip.

Down in hell, Demon Josh talks to Beezlebub regarding Gabriel.

Back in the bookshop, Crowley is essentially baby-sitting and cleaning the bookshop.

Edinburgh 1827

Aziraphale makes the body unusable with a miracle, Elspeth goes home empty handed.

Rewatch time. Now I can take notes.

*what the hell is that wedding cake made of. They’re using an entire sword and two of them can hardly cut it? No wonder mrs p looks so suspicious of the food.

* I’m still p salty that Cora didn’t let her hair down.

* Edith and Mary being all sisterly.

* “I think it’s an awful idea.” No shit brother. “We don’t need to talk about money.” Robert. Jesus.

* so Violet has been moved into the big house for the end, yeah?

(This is where I point out that I saw this at an Alamo drafthouse and had quite a bit of liquid by the time the movie started and I had to pee SO BAD but refused to leave the theater.)

*this silver dress is so stunning. Robert’s ears are extra sticky-outy.

* Cora’s ‘I’d love it’ at Edith wanting to come along hits different now. I’m cry.

*why was robert only worried about edith’s second child.

* MAKE SURE THEY THINK OF YOU AS A DRAGON.

* of all the names, did they have to pick Dagleish? IT TOOK ME HALF THE MOVIE TO GET PAST “dog leash”.

* everything will be odd and foreign for his lordship. There is one person in that house less capable of dealing with foreign soil than Robert and it’s Carson.

* the pacing of this movie is very peppy.

* nearly every woman in the house has a new hairstyle except Cora. Imma guess she didn’t cut her hair to the new style because Robert loves here hair.

* WHAT WERE CORA AND SYBBIE TALKING ABOUT.

* at this point I leaned over to my bestie and said “they’re gonna singing in the rain this bitch, aren’t they?”

*”Why has she asked you?” Lol she don’t want you reading her spicy letters.

*the look on Cora’s face when Isobel says that Mary will become Violet. It was glorious.

* I hope Cora teased Robert relentlessly about miss dogleash and the whole mess of a dinner.

* it’s kind of nice when there isn’t a single Bates suspected of murder the whole time.

* Cora Crawley, cruise director.

* Mr Molesley lmao.

* weird titanic vibes, tbh

*cora is tucked in so tight to Robert doing their little king of the world thing. omg why are they so cute. meanwhile, why is molesley there? Did they say and I just didn’t care?

*Sybbie inherited a bombass place tho.

* I would like mrs angry mom to do Cora’s hair though.

* Mary’s marriage the Talbot is one of the most nonsensical turns this series took. I still don’t understand it.

*Violet’s green dressing gown makes her look very mcgonagall

*the first all talking movie was a horror film? Lol

*still me taking the piss out of dog leash.

* WAIT. what happened to Spratt? Is he busy writing for Edith now?

* 😭 holding hands on the boat

* with the lawyer they’re all doing Covid seating.

* watching Robert do math in his head is hilarious.

* Cora tries to assure Edith that everything is fine. My dad, who has not seen this yet “oh lord”.

* Suppose he never steps up to the mark. He’s pretty cocky for a dude who waited as long as he did to propose is what I’m saying.

* “just a little heartburn.” Dad: uh oh. We know what happened the last time someone had that.

* did we know about Molesley’s lip reading before?

* mrs hughes - you could do it! why would that have even entered her head?

* is it actually physically impossible for Edith to keep her mouth shut at the dinner table? She’s always like oh a sensitive topic? LET’S DISCUSS.

* I’m not sure I entirely like that Brandon is now wholly ready to be the aristocracy he claimed to dislike. I think we could have found a more middle ground for him.

* Mary called Matthew perfect, a prince. Remember when he was the monster of her fairy tale? aww.

* Talbot was a stupid choice Mary. Sorry not sorry.

* “it’s not enough.” ever get tired of being such a bloody wet blanket Robert. Cora has had it UP TO HERE with his histrionics.

* it’s time! It’s time!

* am I blue. Yes.

* his hand around her neck. send help.

* my dad just told the dogs to be quiet, they’re recording. Then realized what he said. We’re invested fam.

* Daisy. Mvp. Anna’s like “did she just say that”.

* for maybe the first time in her life Mary looks abashed but being caught in the act lol.

* PLAYS IN THE ATTIC? did grow a little crop of March girls after all?

* Cora actually said dog leash. Why. Why did they.

* surgery. What did he think they might be taking out?

* “you’re welcome to ask them” lol.

* honestly at this point Mary should have married will graham over Talbot.

* “two gorgeous men fighting for my favors” lol baby. As of it would be the first time.

* not enough has been said by Cora about The Matter.

* “it must have been a shame to spoil that.” arrighty.

* “I know I can trust you to do the right thing.” shut up I’m crying. She didn’t have anyone since her mother died who she could trust to be morally right. DO NOT TOUCH ME.

* Robert comes bursting in, looking much like I imagine he looked waiting for his babies to be born.

* I don’t care how convenient it is, I adore that the downstairs group got a chance to dress up and be posh. They all look so beautiful.

* why did they give Thomas and Andy mutton chops lmao

*how does mrs h sit with that bustle holy shit.

* miss Baxter looks so pretty.

*”are you not going to kneel?” OH GIRL YES.

* “Marcus us willing” - TO. DO. WHAT?! Are they gonna live in sin?

* I’m glad Thomas finally gets his happy ending. He’s not afraid anymore.

* Tom is a good dad.

* “finished you off” really clarkson? There wasn’t a slightly better way?

* that so great a lady should go when the house is full of film people.

* “dear boy” I cry

* *sobbing* Mary wearing Violet’s brooch.

* oh shit. Isobel sitting alone. That was the part that lanced my heart right open. I can’t. I can’t.

* Cora and George.

* Henry really did just leave Mary alone to this. HE WAS A BAD CHOICE MARY. She buries her grandmother. Alone.

* one final gut punch with that portrait.

tbosas thoughts lol

it's been a while since i consumed anything related to the hunger games. i remember borrowing the books from the university library and enjoying them very much, especially the first one! at the time, i never thought a book could feel like a mini series unfolding before me. cliffhangers were the best parts in every chapter.

i wasn't really hyped with this because i was looking forward more on saltburn, poor things, wonka and the like (which would probably be released here next year). fast forward to last saturday and i met up with a friend to watch it. i have a vague idea on what the film is about (it's about coriolanus snow and lucy gray baird that's it lol) but i'm glad i went in semi-blindly. i didn't read the book!

the length. i saw the actual book and i'm surprised they didn't chop it into two parts like its predecessors (hp, breaking dawn, etc). i'm glad about that because franchises can be so blatantly cash grabs these days. it was divided into three parts which was a little surprising since i have not watching something like that in a YA film (let me know if there are other YA that has done this). was it written in three parts in the book as well? the film was almost 3 hours long and we were glued to our seats. no breaks!

the acting. it's my first time seeing rachel zegler act and miss ma'am ate it up. i even forgot why the internet was angry at her. that singing scene when she was reaped? EAT YOUR HEART OUT, CAPITOL! tbh her singing made me feel a little little cringe but heyyyyyyy what do i know? the internet says it's part of lucy's character (she's part of a band for pete's sake, self!) she sings well and i hope i can hear her more in the future.

it's obvious how viola davis is enjoying her role and love that for her!!

peter dinklage gave us dystopian dr. gregory house (compliment) (morphling, vicodin...) and that picture of him with the rubber chicken. work.

my white boy of the month, tom blyth. chef's kiss. that man ate up his blond wigs and buzzcut and i never thought i'll have a crush on a blond man again after matthew crawley. his performance as snow made me feel what god intended: make me feel safe then push me from that beam-- snow landing on top of me with (my) blood on his hands.

sejanus...well, first of all, why suzanne? why the name? janus could've been fine already. (what's with names ending with anus!) we love our human rights king! josh andres rivera's take on sejanus is a breath of fresh air in the middle of capitol's cruelty and nonchalance to it. the anger that he gave to the character would make you wish for a better future for panem's children.

lucky flickerman. jason schwartzman did not hear "cut!" he heard "cunt!" and he gave us that. "smile. that's why we have teeth" is an instant classic for me. i could watch an entire compilation of his scenes on youtube for a whole day and not get bored.

last but not the least, hunter schafer as tigris? i totally get now why tigris smiled at the idea of katniss killing snow in mockingjay. you fed the boy, you dress the boy, and he fires you? fuck off, snow! snow melts anyway!

the costumes. it has a mixture of the elements of turn of the century america. influences from the 30s-50s are evident to the costumes and i love it. very different from the costumes in the hunger games trilogy. it added to the sense of separation from the earlier films. why is dean highbottom dressed like a monk? that ombre lab gown and docs of dr gaul? looooove. it looks so comfy and chic. snow's academy uniform? he looks so uwu baby girl cherub you can't do anything wrong you are an angel you look so trustworthy uwu bb

i enjoyed the movie. i had fun! the battle sequences made us hide behind our hands because it was brutal! we swooned on snowbaird moments and we laughed and we screamed. i'm so glad i watched it with my friend whom i haven't seen in a long time.

to be honest, i wanted to savor the story and characters more. i would have preferred it to be a mini series. i like little moments from books to be on screen and i've read that the film missed some of it (understandable). i might pick up the book if i chance upon a paperback copy. i'd like to know more about snow's inner thoughts since it was not shown in the movies.

with theories, mine is this: lucy gray escaped and lived somewhere outside panem, if such place exists in this universe. maybe a south america counterpart lol. then she went back as an old woman and lived as greasy sae. lucy and coryo did love each other but only for a brief period of time. they both needed each other at the time. that bonds people. however, maybe they prioritized survival over their emotions. lucy wants to live freely with her music and nature and the covey. coriolanus wanted money, power, and glory. probably coryo didn't realize her long lasting effect on him until he was old lol. she haunted him until his death and...that's good. he deserved it.

thank you suzanne collins for writing this and thank you to the cast and crew who breathed this book to life.

ps. if i missed some context or whatnot in the story or the characters i'm sorry, i haven't read the book yet. :-)

Arbitrary Darkness (Hermitcraft monster hunter AU) : Part IV

Part III

A/N: enjoy some angst and grit! I’m pleased with this chapter.

TW for blood and violence

~ please rb if you enjoy! ….〆(･ω･。) ~

Grian went still, his thoughts charging wildly as he processed the situation. His gun was pressed against the small of his back, but in this crowd it’d do about as much good as a peashooter. He decided it was best to employ the time-honoured tactic of weaselling.

“What?” He tried for casual amusement, but Scar leant towards him with an air of conspiracy.

“I can hear your heart beating, A~drien,” he said in a sing-songy tone, his friendly temperament not shifting a beat. This, Grian reflected with horror, was probably true - to make up for their poor sense of smell, phantoms had superb hearing and sight. His right arm still rested on the bar, and he began ever so slowly to slide it back towards his gun.

His movement did not go unnoticed. With barely a moment to spare, Doc slammed a heavy hand on Grian’s wrist and pinned it to the bar. Occupants were starting to take notice now, the thud drawing curious gazes to them. As Grian surveyed the onlookers warily, a horribly familiar face slid through the tables and Tango approached. He wasn’t wearing his glasses or gloves, and his eyes - that deep, hateful red - were still a shock to Grian. His shoulder was bandaged, judging by gauze that just peeked out of his shirt collar. His hands were blackened at his fingertips, ending in short, thornlike claws, and like Grian, he had a tail, long, dark and thin, with a tuft of fur at the end that twitched with interest.

“Hi, Tango!” Scar greeted him brightly, “A friend of yours dropped by to say hello.”

This new blow pushed Grian’s shock over the edge. He struggled to wrench free his right hand to no avail, and instead grabbed for his gun with his left - But it wasn’t there. A noise made him crane his head to see Etho absently spinning his gun on the bar and giving him an apologetic look, as though he were merely informing Grian that a hotel was full.

“Now now, play nice,” Scar scolded, anchoring Grian’s other wrist.

Tango cackled, a raucous sound like a cracking fire, an expression of wicked delight on his face.

“Hi buddy! Aw, you don’t seem pleased to see me. Maybe you were expecting -“ he raised his voice to a comical, posh falsetto, “Miss Tabitha Crawley, who’s so terribly worried about those monsters in the alley!”

He laughed again as a new wave of fury washed over Grian, burning in his cheeks.

“Lookit you, all dressed up!” He approached Grian, pulling the glove off the hand still being crushed by Doc to reveal the birdlike appendage beneath.

“Now that’s commitment,” Tango remarked with the same oily snideness. But as he examined Grian’s hand, he frowned just slightly, his derisive attitude faltering for the first time. Without warning, he dug his claws in hard, and Grian cried out in surprise.

“No way!” Tango exclaimed with genuine shock.

“No way what?” Grian spat, wanting nothing more than to kill Tango and get it done with.

“The term ‘race-traitor’ seems appropriate here,” Etho submitted mildly.

“Man, I can’t decide which of us should be more embarrassed. It never crossed my mind you were a nonhuman!”

Doc, who it seemed barely needed to exert any force to keep Grian pinned and was calmly sipping his drink, added, “and here we were thinking you were undercover. What an upset.”

Grian gritted his teeth. “What the hell is this?” He demanded with the frightened anger of one falsely accused, “whatever it is, you’ve got the wrong person. I haven’t done anything!”

He let his gaze flit pleadingly about the room and noticed some onlookers exchanging unsure glances.

“Uh, you sure you’re not manhandling a guest, Doc?”

The speaker was a stocky man a little shorter than Doc, whose dark brown hair was tied loosely back, almost hiding his pricked canine ears. He was dressed somewhat casually, his shirt half unbuttoned and his sleeves rolled up to to expose bluntly clawed hands covered in wiry dark fur that faded up his forearms. He had a sparse, neat beard surrounding a roguish, fanged grin that was oddly charming.

“Ren,” Doc greeted warmly, as if welcoming a guest to tea.

Paying no mind to the exchange, Tango’s eyes narrowed. “Save yourself some embarrassment and don’t try that bullshit with me, Grian,” he hissed, his breath hot on Grian’s face, “We had a perfectly civil thing going, but you were too much of a sanctimonious, nosy fuck to let a good thing be.”

“Civil?” Grian snarled, “You call yourself civil? You’re a murderous, conniving demon. If I had any sense I’d’ve rid the world of you the moment we met, monster or not.”

Anger rippled through the room at this. Grian realised he’d given up any pretence of ignorance, but that plan had long since withered. Anyway, it felt good to express his fury, however unwise his compromising position might make it.

“An imp, actually,” Doc corrected coolly, “no horns.”

Ren cocked his head, a gesture so doglike that if it weren’t for the gravity of the current situation, Grian would’ve laughed. “Hate to interrupt … but aren’t harpies carnivores?”

“Yeah Grian, aren’t they?” Scar pressed with mock-curiosity, clearly enjoying himself.

“I don’t kill people,” he gritted tersely.

Doc snorted. “So that’s why you are so … small. I thought you were a bird of prey, only I’d never seen one with such little wings.”

Grian flushed, irritated at the jab. He was sick of this, humiliated at being toyed with publicly and furious - at Scar, at Doc, at Tango and at his own naïveté.

“Whatever the hell it is you want, get it over with.” He had no intention of pleading, even if he’d thought it’d do any good.

Tango regarded him appraisingly, and it was clear from his utterly apathetic gaze that he hadn’t a shred of a reservation for Grian. There’d never been real friendship between them, and the polite mutual respect that existed had been shredded the moment Grian had drawn his gun in that alley.

“You think you’re different, do you?” Tango’s voice was venomous and twisted with derision. “You think you’re a hero? You’re just like the rest of us and you always will be. If you think you’re like them, then go - take off your cloak and gloves and wait for their gratitude. Go see how you like the people you think you’re saving; see how different they think you are.”

Tango took Grian’s hand again, holding it like a palm-reader would. Then he pressed the pad of his thumb hard into one of Grian’s talons, drawing a bright bead of blood that trickled down his hand, followed eagerly by another. He held his bleeding hand near Grian’s face as if letting a dog get acquainted with his scent.

“Come on, birdie,” he coaxed mockingly, a glint of gleeful cruelty in his eyes.

The scent of humanoid blood stirred the same deeply suppressed instinct in Grian as it always did. He felt his heartbeat rise just slightly and knew already his pupils would be dilating. He ran his tongue over his sharp canines.

I’ll kill you, he thought savagely as he unflinchingly returned Tango’s malevolent, ruby stare, I’ll rip you limb from fucking limb, you evil bastard.

Tango smiled even more widely and wiped his blood down Grian’s lips and chin, a horribly lascivious gesture that made him shudder involuntarily.

But Grian wasn’t the only one who’s interest had been captured by the fresh blood. Scar’s grip had slackened just slightly, his eyes fixed hungrily on the interaction before him. Now or never.

In a moment, he violently twisted his wrist free, grabbed the knife stowed in his waistband and used the arm anchored by Doc as leverage to plunge it into him - he didn’t know where, for in that split second, pain had exploded in his forearm, powerful jaws dragging him upwards before releasing him. He toppled backwards, falling hard with a spray of broken glass as his head cracked a shelf. His head spun wildly as he tried desperately to reorient himself, and when he looked up it was to meet the harlequin gaze of a massive, pale snow leopard, teeth freshly blooded and bared in a snarl.

The room had descended into chaos. He heard Doc shouting for order above the cacophony of inhuman anger and distress. His shoulder was badly wrenched and while the pain was distant, he felt blood pulsing from the deep wounds in his forearm, hot and angry and demanding that he take action. He scrabbled frantically in the broken glass around him, hoping for any sort of weapon, aid, anything. Etho padded closer, and among the bar’s detritus, his fist closed blessedly on what felt like a shrivelled, apricot-sized ball.

A thump came from behind him as Grian shoved the chorus fruit into his mouth, even as a huge paw attempted to swat it away.

Scar had evidently vaulted the bar, and without hesitation he sunk vicious fangs deep into Grian’s shoulder as though with enough force he could keep him there. Pain shot through him, acidic and hot. Etho leapt forward, teeth meeting in his wing, the weight of his forepaws crushing Grian’s torso as he extended his claws. He cried out, swiped blindly with his own talons and felt them find purchase in Etho’s furred cheek—

But Grian had already spat the chorus fruit pulp from his mouth, and he seemed to run through the teeth like water as space turned momentarily liquid.

The next thing he knew was the cool tile pressed against his cheek, shocking in competition with the sweat and blood like lava on his skin. Get up. Go! He’d been lucky to end up in the lobby, but he knew he still didn’t have enough time. He scrambled to his feet unsteadily, even as he heard Impulse’s concerned inquiry and accompanying hoofbeats. He fled through the corridor, slammed his aching shoulder against the concealed doorway, and stumbled through the maze of rusting slaughterhouse equipment, leaving smears of his own blood on metal that hadn’t tasted it for a long time.

Then he was in the alley again. The sky was an inky mass far above him, darker than usual thanks to the oppressive clouds. In his absence, the rain had returned in earnest, chilling him violently. There wasn’t any time to conceal his wings and tail, and Grian prayed the darkness and late hour would be enough to ensure silent streets.

Terror ran rampant throughout him as he dashed homeward, pain and rainfall distorting his sense of direction. More than the monsters he’d angered though, he was terrified of the bite on his shoulder. Phantoms had powerful paralytic venom developed to fell their prey without them having to latch onto them long. He had no idea how long he had before the venom started it’s work - depending on what percentage phantom blood was in Scar, it could be as little as 20 minutes. In his panic he fancied he could already feel venom creeping through his veins, turning them iron-wrought.

Thankfully, the streets were empty - no one sensible ventured into the rain on a night like this, not when any manner of crooks or monsters could be skulking in the shadows. He knew he was followed by an irregular trail of blood and hoped it would be enough to wash it away.

Seville Square was far behind him now, but as he navigated his way through the labyrinthine alleys of New Hermiton, his adrenaline took a backseat and his energy waned. He panted raggedly even as he shivered, soaked through with nothing but his undershirt on.

After what felt like hours, Grian recognised the stonework of the uniform apartments he knew as home. Undue relief washed over him like rain. It was as he made for the side door that he misstepped, slipping on the slick steps and tumbling helplessly to the base of the stairs a few feet below the street. As he curled tightly into himself, pain jolting through him, exhaustion saw it’s chance and swept in on heavy wings.

He couldn’t move anymore, too much of the adrenaline-wary pain and fear was pouring into him. The pavement was wet and slimy with moss, but at least it was partially sheltered by an overhang. He banged a fist weakly against the door, but either Mumbo wasn’t there, or simply couldn’t hear him.

He couldn’t bring himself even to stand. Pain lashing through his injured wing, he wrapped his wings tightly around himself, thankful for the camouflage of his dark plumage. He found himself sobbing, the kind that wracks one’s body entirely - though perhaps that was partially to the credit of his trembling. He wasn’t quite sure why he was crying - Anger, stress, fear, and pain were all valid contenders. His injuries ached dully, softly weeping blood onto the pavement. Scar’s bite burned with acidic fury, pain pulsing from it in steady waves. Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid.

The nights events replayed in his head over and over, snippets of conversation blurring together. ‘can’t drink on the job?’ … ‘..see how you like the people you think you’re saving…’ ‘I can hear your heart beating ….’

On a lullaby of disjointed memory, Grian was dragged beneath the black waves of fitful sleep.

I’m gonna do my part of helping the Sing franchise from dying. And I’m gonna start with one character, Buster Moon. I always thought where would he go after his friends became stars and always believed he’s more than just ‘optimistic’. And if a SING 3 did come, maybe this could show us more about Buster. Maybe he would want to be a part of something different, find his own journey.

------------

SING 3 Teaser: Buster May Be On A Journey Of A Lifetime Of His Own

(The group is huddled in a circle, along with the new members, backstage ready to perform Out of this World.)

BUSTER: “Remember….”

EVERYONE: “There’s only one way left to go, and that’s UP!”

(The group break apart and head off.)

BUSTER: “My name is Buster Moon. When I was 6 years old I wanted to be the first koala bear in space.

(Scene changes to when Buster was 6 years old, watching the show with his father in the Moon Theatre for the first time)

BUSTER: "But that changed when I was introduced to the theatre. And for about, 51 years, give or take, I've almost dedicated my entire life to doing what I always done and being who I am. A director and a showman. And it's something I would die for."

(Flashback to Jimmy Crystal holding Buster over his balcony.)

BUSTER: “Okay. Maybe not literally. But again, this is who I am, and this is who I’ll continue to be.”

(Scene changes to the Majestic Theatre with Buster along with Nana, Miss Crawley, Alfonso and Norman in their seats in a box as the lights slowly dim, the show about to start. Buster gets out of his seat and heads up to the balcony. We peer down to the stage and see Johnny and Nooshy dancing in the ‘Planet Of War’ scene. Buster watches smiling happily.)

BUSTER: “So yeah. Despite everything that’s happened, I was happy.”

(Everything slows down and Buster’s smile slowly fades, and a sad frown takes it’s place)

BUSTER: “But then ………… I wasn’t.”

(Scene changes to Buster opening the New Moon Theatre with his friends by his side in Sing 1 )

BUSTER: “And that left me thinking, maybe there’s more to me and my life then theatre. Maybe I can do more than just direct shows, script write, recognize talent, turn creative thoughts into reality, maybe I'm capable of more than doing just creating entertainment.”

(Scene changes to the Moon Theatre, where Buster is hiding in the shadows, watching his friends having fun)

BUSTER: “What if I can do more than what I'm doing now? Maybe it’s time I find a new purpose in life, that I do something for myself. Like it’s time to move on. Maybe I wanna do something else, try something else. Maybe I wanna be a part of something new. Something bigger, something different. Something that’s ………… not me.”

(Scene changes to Buster sitting on his bed in his bedroom, looking at a poster of “Out of this World”. He looks at his reflection in the window. His sadness turns into determination.)

BUSTER: “There’s more to me than theatre.”

(Cut to black)

------------

It’s stupid I know, just like all my other posts, but this is from my perspective on Buster Moon. You can tell me what you think in the comments. And let me know if there are any mistakes or errors or things I should change or if I wasn’t being clear enough.

Did you hear about the person that has a glass eye? I didn't know about it until it came out during our breakfast conversation this morning.

This just reminds me of miss crawley in Sing 😂

#fake eye #miss crawly #lol

[ 𝐑𝐄𝐔𝐍𝐈𝐓𝐄 ] ― sender and receiver see each other again after a period of being apart

(Felix comes home to Uganza)

—- UGANZA -— sent from this meme (x) still accepting!

shifting between jobs and moving into his own flat has kept him so busy that he hadn’t realised just how long it had been since he’d been back to visit his uncle. there just weren't enough hours in the day ( FOR EITHER OF THEM, NOT JUST FOR HIMSELF ) and if he could only just scrape together an hour more, then he probably would have found the time to be a little more present.

but as it stands, he only realises when he’s driving back from crawley, when the traffic on the m25 slows to a crawl not too far away from the dartford tunnel. his hands drum gently on the steering wheel of his van, out of time with the music that plays from the radio, which matches the vibe of the **out of tune **singing that he’s attempting. it’s only when he glances across to the car beside him, just on a whim, and sees a man who bears such an uncanny likeness to his uncle, that for a moment, he considers getting out the van to bang on the man’s window.

he doesn’t, thankfully, because the man turns his head to make eye contact with felix, who can now tell that this man is not his uncle. their eyes lock, and felix gives a slightly sheepish wave, before giving the road in front of him his full attention.

as he sits there, stewing in the juices of his own embarrassment from being caught staring, he remembers that the last time that he saw uganza was when he’d moved out two months ago. weird, that he hadn’t noticed, but he supposes that he’d been so caught up in everything he’d had going on, he hadn’t been able to find a spare second to notice that actually, he missed him very much.

by the time he gets back to dagenham, it’s pretty late, and yet his van pulls up in front of uganza’s home, causing a pang in his chest at the memory of the fact that this is no longer his home now. sure, he knows that he’d be welcome whenever, but he moved out. for his independence, of course. that, and it gets increasingly more difficult to pull on a night out when you’re twenty-eight and still live with your uncle.

he trudges up the garden path, finds himself stood in front of the door, suddenly nervous to knock. he knows that he’ll be welcome, uganza had made as much clear when he’d left, he’s 100% sure of that fact. but there’s always that little doubt, isn’t there? always that tiny voice in the back of his head that tells him that maybe uganza realised how much he now likes being on his own.

he knocks sharply on the door before he can chicken out, throat tight and heart pounding until the moment the door opens and felix comes face to face with a man he now realises he had been missing dreadfully. ‘ hey, old man. ’
