New shirts & handkerchiefs

Robert Coningham took such good care of his dearest boy, making sure he had enough clothes and didn't have to buy them abroad.

The weirdly life affirming thing about fandom and some of the adoration that comes with it, particularly as pertains to real people, is that fans will love all the parts of you. That what is deemed ‘marketable’ by the press release and everything else they left out. If you come from something, fans will keep it alive. A Sam Fender fan away in Nebraska, USA will learn the Geordie dialect to accurately write Sam Fender x reader fanfic. They will keep alive a dialect declining even in Newcastle. As long as someone knows it, it lives on. The more people into it, the more beloved it becomes; it has a resurgence, it carries on. A Kneecap fan in Indonesia whose third language is English decides Irish Gaeilge can be their fourth. The Eurovision fans decided they can learn all of Finnish after being drawn to one song about piña coladas (and the super endearing Käärijä!)

Fandom is so much more than some base lowly shit to be embarrassed about that people like to reduce it to. It’s a powerful mode of culture. It’s so much more than about writing ‘your silly little stories about your pathetic men’; fandom is the reason American Blur fans flew thousands of miles overseas to be at Wembley last summer. Fandom is checking your IG stories after that gig and seeing that other well-loved musicians also have the same story as you because they were at that gig too. It is months later hearing Grian Chatten from Fontaines D.C. say that part of their new song was inspired by going to that Wembley show, and knowing exactly what he meant by that.

It is about shared cultural moments, it’s about the realisation that nothing is ever strictly in the past, and that we are sharing and creating culture in the now. I don’t know where I’m going with this, I was just struck by the connection between culture and pop culture. Don’t let people tell you they’re different worlds, I suppose

Great news everyone. There was a kitten wandering in the drive thru at work and my inner warrior cats kid tried to be a hero and capture him.

I have now suffered multiple puncture wounds and have to go to the emergency room.

I love this scene cos it’s how you know he’s a good guy really as Neptune trusts him.

Would love a fic where Francis starts to warm to him seeing this. Possibly in time to save everyone.

Thinking of the larger context of LOTR and like, the fellowship swapping old war stories and shit and Sam just says “Yeah I killed a huge spider…Shelob, I think?”

And Gandalf just blinks and is like, “You what now?”

“Yeah, killed it. Had to save Frodo”

Gandalf elects not to tell Sam that he killed the spawn of a primordial demon.

#that ring would have been destroyed by Sam and an axe in the shire had Gandalf been clearer on the danger to Frodo #lord of the rings

When Izzy first walked out I was worried that he would be made into a joke that the crew would laugh at

but then he started singing and the dancing began and I realized that he wasn’t meant to be a joke at all. This is the most open and happy we’ve ever seen Izzy and the show treated it that way. Not mocking him but instead celebrating this moment.

When we talk about queer representation it’s usually just focused on queer relationships, but what I love about this episode is it shows other sides of being queer. That moment where Izzy saw Wee John doing his makeup and had a realization that he wanted that too? That is what being queer means to me. The crew singing along and cheering for him? That is what being apart of the queer community means to me.

What i love about this show is that it shows queer joy, not in a sanitized way, but in away that is messy, beautiful, and without any mockery or shame.

“Having a boyfriend is like having a kid, yeah? A lot of work, a lot of responsibility, really rewarding but exhausting! So what you do is get another boyfriend and they can, like, have a play date while you have some wine and a nap.”

A Willy Wonka pop-up event in Glasgow had attendees calling the police after they paid £35 and the event didn’t deliver what was promised.

Event goers were promised a whimsical adventure all themed around something Willy Wonka might create in his factory.

The keen-eyed amongst you might have noticed something a little bit…wrong.

Imagnation Lab. Encherining Entertainment. Catgacating. Live perforrmances. Cartchy tunes. Exarserdray lollipops. And my favourite “A pasadise of sweets teats”

But what did the event actually look like? WELL.

Feel like the marketing team got a bit carried away.

Everyone like ooh I want Rebecca/Trent to stop Ted at the airport

You know what I want if Ted goes back to Kansas? The entire team chasing Ted through the airport. I want carnage as the greyhounds sprint through the crowds making an absolute fucking scene.

Dani sobbing, Isaac picking up Colin and trying to throw him over the barricade when they're blocked by security, Jamie trying to flirt with security to let them through and then being Insulted that they don't know who he is, bumbercatch talking about how if they can just get him to the cockpit he can land the plane

Sam trying to be the voice of reason and explain to the security that they're trying to get to their coach and say goodbye

The team ends up being detained by airport security and ted hears the curfuffle. He heads over to them all distraught they missed a chance to aya goodbye. Beard and Roy are watching on and Ted's like "Did y'all tell them I'm just going for the off season?"

"No coach."

Ted ends up missing his first flight

roy and jamie and keeley do get together btw but not until after seeing dani with his two girlfriends at beard’s wedding, at which point jamie goes “wait if dani can have two girlfriends, why can’t keeley have two boyfriends?”

to which roy goes “good fucking point” and then they show up to keeley’s house together again like “ok. new idea, you don’t pick at all���
