Hi! I just saw your tags on this post, would you mind elaborating on this bias?
I’ve heard about the Robert Singer bias and some of the Bucklemming bias through tumblr but I am not familiar with the their dvd commentary (at least for Bucklemming, I’ve heard some of Singer’s).
Thank you in advance!
ask from @supamerchant (@whorewhouse had a similar ask)
The Buckleming Agenda has been cited numerous times, including coming from them specifically. Tumblr being what it is, it's difficult to dig up the specific receipts from the search engine, but esentially they have admitted to being fascinated (read: obsessed) with Mark Pellegrino and went out of their way to try to bring him in as much as possible. They initially tried to shoehorn in a redemption arc for Lucifer, even adding some comedic "buddy" moments between Lucifer and Sam, and thankfully Jared put his foot down and squashed that crap. Reportedly they had written a script including those comedic moments and Jared flat out refused to even do a table read.
As for Singer, it's more about what he doesn't say in the commentaries. He will go on and on about Jensen's very minor acting choices, yet he never once has a kind word to say about Jared. The best example is the 4x21 commentary, where he gushes about Jensen turning his head slightly at the top of the stairs at the beginning of the episode (as if no other actor on Earth ever thought to use a head gesture so Jesen must be a gENiUs). Then during Jared's scenes in the panic room, there's not one word from Singer about Jared's objectively amazing performance. Instead, Singer bitches about how tough it was to shoot in a small space and talks about the cost of the crane shot. During the scene between Sam and "Mary", it's Sera who talks about how incredible Jared is at expressing that internal torment. They also talk about the scene where Bobby has the gun pointed at Sam, and Sam moves the gun up to his heart and says, "then shoot". Singer compliments the choice thinking it was Sera's idea, and Sera has to correct him and gives the credit to Jared.

as i gaze upon your blog i wonder, “what the hell is taskmaster?” i’d journey the lands of safari but its much better to hear the words of insight from the enjoyer. quite interested in the au tho, tempted to watch this thingamabob because of it. i like hearing your ramblings about your fave doodabs and whatchamajigits. i am determined to return to you with the holy gift of a singular hilda but finals are kicking my ass and i’m learning a new art program. while i wait i’d love to be graced by your words :3
HI ANON!! first of all good luck with finals and your new art program i hope everything turns out BEAUTIFULLY for you don't forget to have fun!!
i'm so glad you asked! taskmaster is a ridiculously entertaining gameshow that originated here in the uk with other versions in other countries. it's super fun to make aus/character studies around the tasks because they're so telling of personality!
Tumblr media
the format of the show is - 5 comedians per season are set tasks by host greg davies (6'8" ex-schoolteacher, and it shows) and creator/cohost alex horne (the brains behind it, but onscreen is very weaselly/neeky and generally picked-on).
each episode begins with a prize task, in which contestants must bring in prizes to be won by the winner each day - the most high-octane item, the thing that makes the best noise, the most difficult thing to take home. prizes range from body parts to furnished bathroom sets. these, along with every other task, are scored in the studio from 1-5 points. the rest of the tasks are filmed beforehand mostly in one house, individually and sometimes in teams, and are incredibly arbitrary, silly, confusing or difficult:
eat as much watermelon in 60 seconds. eat an egg the fastest (it starts raw). interview, then write and perform a song about this stranger. conceal an entire pineapple on your person. take three huge exercise balls to the top of this large hill. make the biggest mess, then clean it up. get this object as far away from here as possible. go the longest time without blinking.
sarah kendall purposefully, blindfoldedly, throws her own house and car keys into the trees in front of the building. james acaster gets taken aside onstage to be told off by greg like a schoolboy. respected academic richard osman throws a shopping trolley into a river in a fit of rage (it is retrieved). nish kumar and mark watson write a genuinely beautiful song together. bob mortimer makes a floor-size chart documenting the amount of piss produced across britain.
Tumblr media
the episodes end with a live task in the studio in front of the audience. the show allows the contestants to genuinely go off the rails with comedic creativity and problem solving, and it's SO fun to impose characters onto this template. person gets presented with task -> completes task as they see fit -> is judged on their actions -> reacts to the judgement. like if you want to develop an oc. look no further!! put them on taskmaster in your brain.
every contestant, whether it be famous comedians, up-and-coming stand-ups, or actors & presenters, really shine in taskmaster. people who i don't really find funny become entertaining and i root for them simply because of the genius format of the show.
it gets gross, argumentative, tense, earnest, and never ever loses the clownish spirit and light-heartedness of the meaningless and hilarious program it sets out to be. greg davies is ruthlessly harsh with points, alex horne is endlessly nitpicky and often bullied, and they frequently bring up fanfiction written about the two of them for some fucking reason. they embody such perfectly fine-tuned characters, only to break them constantly to laugh at the show.
if anyone (no one) wants to know a few of my fav contestants rn they are:
sam campbell, lucy beaumont, sarah kendall, bob mortimer, nish kumar, james acaster, and the ENTIRE freakish family team dynamic of frankie boyle, ivo graham, jenny eclaire, kiell smith-bynoe, and mae martin

thank you anon :-) i'm sorry this was so long i hope you didnt mind reading it all and it told u what u wanted to know!!

why is bloodkeep your fave? what stands out?
oohhh this is the perfect ask, the perfect chance for me to ramble, thank you so much <3
the cast
the whole cast is an absolute delight. several of them have little to no dnd experience, and that leads to some DELIGHTFUL moments- they have no pre-conceived ideas, and they just do the wildest shit because of that. rekha has now become well-known in d20 for her shenanigans, but that all began in bloodkeep! and then you've got matt and ify and erika, who are very experienced, and they have a totally different playstyle that is also a delight!! and the comedic styles- trapp is a fantastic straight man, matt and amy are great punching bags, ify and rekha have very chaotic energy, and erika is just so powerful in everything she does. it's a great dynamic!!
the setting
full disclosure, i am a huge lord of the rings fan, and so this game as a lotr parody brings me so much joy. turning sam into a badass polite lesbian, making the king of the vinguri a gay disaster, turning aragorn into just. a disaster and a mess. letting arwen go full evil, the inherent comedy of the sauron figure being a mouth instead of an eye, etc etc. it's all genius and wonderful and i'm obsessed with it
the characters
where do i even BEGIN with this. it's rare for me to find a season of d20 (or any other show) where i love truly every single main character, but that's the case with bloodkeep. maggie and her journey to move on from an abusive ex and find her own path and become her own person. leiland and his journey from a toxic relationship towards finding worth in himself. markus going from being a loner, only out for money, to finding a new family that cares about him more than his old one. efink realizing that she doesn't need approval from anyone else, and fully literally finding her magic from her friends. sokhbarr and the love he has for every creature he meets, especially the ones who aren't loved by anyone else. lilith and her children, the love she carries for them and that they carry for her. it's so good they're all so good
the relationships
this is really what it comes down to for me- the party dynamic, both as a whole and all the small relationships in there. maggie and leiland. sokhbarr and lilith. lilith and efink. leiland and markus. maggie, sokhbarr, and lilith. the entire squad. these characters are presented to us as evil, but then we see them care about each other so deeply, and it just hits!! they help each other through their respective traumas, and by the end of the show we look at these six people and we know that they're a family. and that's so good to me
anyway that was a lot of words lmao i just.. i love bloodkeep. i love it so much

TAG GAME: EIGHT SHOWS TO GET TO KNOW ME
tagged by @sarahlancashire 💖
scott & bailey - this is the show that got me into fandom and fanfiction (reading and writing) and basically without it i would never have met any of my internet friends. aside from that, i am not immune to fictional middle-aged female detectives with wine-red nail varnish - gill murray and julie dodson i’m looking at you both. special mention to any and all episodes written by amelia bullmore bc gdi the woman is a comedic genius
home fires - i don’t really go for war stuff usually, but this cast drew me in and thank the gods it did bc this was gorgeous. this is the show that gave me my username bc alison scotlock is the loml. it has it all - great stories, beautiful cinematography, excellent acting, a great soundtrack, plentiful pretty ladies for the milf lovers amongst us...
yonderland - only wanted to choose one show by the six idiots and honestly it could have been any of them, but yonderland won because it’s just so CLEVER while being utterly silly, which is absolutely my kind of thing. negatus is supposed to be the baddie but is just... silly and incompetent, which makes him adorable. lots of wise elder vex’s lines became lil echolalia things for me for months after i watched it
call the midwife - this is the show that has been with me for the longest time. it started when i was 15 and it’s seen me through so much and it’s my annual ‘let’s have a big cry every sunday in january and february’ comfort show with a side order of intense emotions. i have loved and/or appreciated 99% of the storylines, midwives and nuns. phyllis crane and sister julienne are my LOVES
dinnerladies - victoria wood. need i say more? this show is like an old friend to me. i can’t remember the first time i watched it but i must have seen it over 15 times. victoria’s writing is incredible and all of the cast are VERY good at bringing her characters to life. this is a get to know me and also my family kind of show - it’s the one we will all sit and watch and laugh along to and we quote it every day
last tango in halifax - look, i’m not saying some of these shows to get to know me aren’t mildly to extremely traumatising, they’re just the shows that have had the most impact on my life. sally i will never forgive you for THAT and also series 5 was so weird, but this was the first show with wlw in it that i watched after i came out and also caroline elliot is another loml (ok i have a lot...)
mum - sitcoms with added pulling hard on the heartstrings are where it’s AT. this is SO well-written and i’m a sucker for that realism. if you think it’s slow and boring then you’re watching it wrong. cathy walker, i love you. she’s so gentle. you know this show is good bc there’s a het relationship that i cry about. it’s the yearninggggg
holby city (series 14 - series 21) - again, this is not The Best by a LONG shot, but berena was my whole life when i was not great mentally and had very little else. they are my ultimate ship and bernie wolfe has my whole entire heart and basically the ik they’re fictional but if the two of them can go through the most traumatising shit and still be “happier than i ever thought possible” finding the love of their life at over 50 years of age, that gives me boundless hope <3
not tagging anyone, but if you see this and would like to be tagged, consider yourself tagged!

Heyo! I've been reading your sharing a bed series (albeit I haven't read them all yet but I'm slowly getting there) and I really felt the need to praise you so bare with me haha
Okay. First of all. I like how even though you're using the same trope your plots are actually hella creative. Like I wouldn't have expected a Vegas plot for a share a bed trope? I thought that was genius. And not only that the ideas are cool but you also have such great story building in your smuts and it's such a delight to enjoy a sexy story with plot twists and ongoing conflicts 😁 And I love how complex you build your characters to be as well! They really feel alive.
Second - well of course you're getting praised for having a sexy brain cuz the smut is sexy. Yes. And unique to every story!
Third and most important oh my god. The thing I wanted to speak to you the most is your sense of humour. Your writing has comedic timing, I swear. I love the way you build your characters so lovably goofy in a way that isn't completely over the top but they still deliver fun jokes and mishaps. The Chan one was so so fun I was giggling about it for like two days straight. The Jisung one also proves how good you are at funny back and forth between characters. (I think the way you wrote Jisung is my favorite so far. He's just so dorky!) In a nutshell I love your comedic touch!
I'm really excited to continue to read through all your stuff! Have a great day 😊
oh my gosh!!! 😭😭😭♥️ what a wonderful comment!! thank you so much taking the time to write it, it means a lot. i am very glad you’ve enjoyed the stories so far n hehe i am glad you like humour. i love writing a good back n forth tbh. i hope you continue to enjoy the ones to come! all the best ♥️

You just have to elaborate on the “I mean like even the apple seeds” tag on your Dennis’ pain and how Mac takes care of it post because I am very intrigued and can’t infer on that myself!
haha you guys should stop enabling me. anyway. yes i will humanize even the apple seeds joke and make it about macdennis + pain. (tw for light/vague discussions of disordered eating)
my favorite thing about this particular unhinged take is that it focuses on how dysfunctional the macdennis dynamic is instead of just the sweeping romanticism of mac being able to see dennis’ pain and attend to it, because it highlights how mac sometimes does that to an unhealthy/incorrect degree.
but i digress. sorry to keep you waiting. the apple seeds: it’s about the way mac takes dennis’ distress over the thing seriously, and offers dennis genuine and caring counsel.
in fact, if i use the tidy little “mac is the only one able to attend to dennis’ pain and dennis can’t let go of that” theory it explains why dennis would allow himself to believe something so fucking dumb as “cigarette smoke smothers the poisonous apple seeds in your stomach.” we all know dennis has issues with food. both mac and dennis have body image issues, and mac has fluctuating issues with food himself. but about dennis—mr undiagnosed eating disorder himself. i don’t think he has just a restrictive/body image based eating disorder, but something like arfid or ocd, where he has innumerable neuroses and anxieties around his food intake.
this is where it gets toxic because mac is aware of this and takes it upon himself to be like, dennis’ food bodyguard. he’s actually trying to love and care for dennis, but he doesn’t know any better and ends up enabling dennis’ instead (macdennis i’m obsessed with you). gang chokes is like, about this. but md break up talks about it and the apple seeds thing are the greatest example for me, and a huge manifestation of the macdennis + pain thing imo.
there’s the apple skin thing to start, which is a great instance of how this would work. it also gives us a nice glimpse into how macdennis + pain is reciprocal because (and i haven’t even gotten to do a whole thesis on this but i could) mac struggles with wanting to feel needed, wanted, of value, etc and as much as he can get bitchy and mean, overall dennis makes mac feel all of those things. especially in peak macdennis years (3/4-9). but i’m digressing again—just pointing out how and why this works so well for mac too, because it’s more than just being stupid in love with dennis (it fulfills something personal in him too, it soothes a hurt in him too).
but for me, the apple seeds? another instance of dennis showing negative, painful emotion, and mac being the only one to respond in a way that matters to dennis. i mean yes a moment to thank glenn for his comedic genius in the sound of that fake retching, but also dennis was so distressed over the thought of potentially eating something bad. that was panic! that was repulsion! that was fear! food is just such a fundamental thing for dennis.
the rest of the gang kind of brush him off when he scurries over, totally distraught over these stupid apple seeds. charlie validates his alarm over the toxicity of the dumb seeds (<3), but no one has time for dennis and his hysteria. and it is hours after the whole ordeal has passed, and they are still kind of fighting, but the minute dennis sees him he tells this to mac because he knows mac will take him seriously and fix the hurt. he looks so relieved when mac doesn’t brush it off or question him or roll his eyes, he just takes it in stride and asks dennis if he tried x to solve the problem.
i know this kind of thing happens regularly and i know it rewires things in dennis’ brain! he must be so scared and yet so comforted! he must be so confused and in love and embarrassed and mac is mine and mac cares and oh god what if mac leaves who will give a shit if i cry over apple seeds then no one can know apple seeds scare me like this ahhh!!!

Persuasion Dream Cast yes i know no one is thinking about this anymore
I love this book too much, and have read it too many times. I have been trying not to think about this out of anger but inspiration bows to no one. If no one else gets this, fine, but that doesn’t make it less correct
Sarah Snook and Joel Fry as Anne Elliot and Frederick Wentworth.
Tumblr media
Are you fucking kidding me they would have been perfect. The loss of what might have been is even more painful if I had never known it was a possibility, and I wouldn’t have beacause I wouldn’t have pieced this together originally. I wouldn’t have thought of Sarah Snook as Anne Elliot until I became not stupid (watched the season 3 finale of Succession) and realized no one else could play the hold your emotions in until you combust game like her. I have also fallen in love with Joel Fry to the point that I am considering watching Cruella. Having a comedic actor play Wentworth is galaxy brain, because the tragedy of his love life can only be countered by how ridiculous it is. Also he could perfectly pull off writing a letter to someone who’s in the room, then leaving it conspicuously on a table, then coming back and handing it directly to her just to be safe.
Richard E Grant as Walter Elliot.
Tumblr media
I am sick in my stomach to think that the only way I can hear Richard E Grant say Sir Walter’s lines is by also sitting through Dakota Johnson Fleabagging the camera like she’s making one of those annoying ass TikToks. I used to be ok with Dakota Johnson now her voice just makes me wanna punch that gap back in her teeth. Meanwhile Richard E. Grant could shit talk men’s haircuts and recommend a better beauty product to his daughters for two straight hours and it would still be funny
Danusia Samal as Elizabeth Elliot
Tumblr media
She’s perfect and highhandedly bitchy as Countess Svenska in The Great, and that’s also how I know she can bring the right Hot Entitlement to the role.
PATTI HARRISON AS MARY MUSGROVE.
Tumblr media
You are a fool and a coward if you think Mary shouldn’t be played by the funniest comedian in the movie. No one else could make Mary’s histrionics over her toddler breaking his arm funnier than Patti Harrison, and now I can only dream about it.
Lolly Adefope as Louisa Musgrove.
Tumblr media
1. She’s a genius. 2. Imagine Kitty from Ghosts going “Catch me! Catch me!” before jumping and plummeting to concrete and tell me I’m not correct. She could also play post-accident Louisa deeply, but still funny, and that’s hard to pull off.
Susan Wokoma as Henrietta Musgrove.
Tumblr media
Very excited to watch Year of the Rabbit, and I watched Chewing Gum so I know she can play the practical sister while also trying to flirt with Wentworth in the worst ways possible.
Zach Cherry as Charles Musgrove
Tumblr media
He has perfect “this guy just wants to chill but life has made that impossible” energy. Also can picture him in a “I love my wife- and yes she bought me this shirt” t shirt.
Rachel House as Mrs. Croft
Tumblr media
I want to be Mrs. Croft’s best friend and she was written 200 years ago, the casting of Fiona Shaw was genius and any actress playing her needs to convey that you can trust her with your life. She is the coolest MILF alive and there is no other choice.
Jake Lacy as Mr. Eliot.
Tumblr media
I hate this bitch now thanks to White Lotus and I need him to bring that energy here now. He wants you to trust him so bad and it’s a sick thrill that we and Anne share getting nasty gossip about him because it confirms something you already felt.
Sophie Okenedo as Lady Russell. 
Tumblr media
You should trust and like Lady Russell, but she should also be able to infuriate you like only your mother can when you’re visiting her at home and she asks a innocuous question that makes you want to eat glass.
Jamie Demetriou as Benwick.
Tumblr media
Benwick seems absolutely heartbroken by the death of his fiancee until he can read poetry to a pretty girl for a few weeks, and Demetriou can play that soggy sadness and desperation to be loved just *chefs kiss* Also I want to see his face when Sarah Snook tells him he should read less poetry and more prose for the sake of his health.
Adeel Akhtar as Admiral Croft.
Tumblr media
I just want Adeel Akhtar to be in everything. Cool uncle energy.
Honorable mention I think a truly great actress should play Mrs. Smith so that you’re totally absorbed in her story like you are in the book. Fiona O’Shaughnessy. #UtopiaHive

ok ok as fun as watching the incorrect theorising from the background is, i think it’s only fair i threw you guys a bone.
1. im not part of the polycule or main gc BUT i am mutuals w most of you (including yourself)
2. as far as i know, i am only one person!
3. not a hint but the memes are so good. incredibly funny. this tiny section of tumblr is hoarding a lot of comedic talent it’s honestly unfair
4. im reluctant to come off anon bc i AM afraid of a shark attack. but i will admit that i rly only sent a message to em for two reasons: drama is fun!! what better way to spice up an already compelling romance than throwing a competitor into the mix?? what’s hotter than jealousy, am i right? and secondly, ofc i’ll swoon for a sports lesbian mutual. otters have weaknesses too.
5. but on a very real note their pda on the dash is adorable while also sickening. i am a full sharky x princess shipper. the only critique i have is: get!!! a!!!! room!!!! challenge (level: impossible, apparently)
anyway love your speculating- those big brain writer gears were TURNING. also completely unrelated but your werewolf robin has rotted my brain like im not the same woman i was before you wrote that au. u have a gift and it has cursed me
- 🦦
Oh my god HELLO otter, I am absolutely shocked to be receiving this message, and I am cackling over this
Thinking so hard about shared mutuals rn and making notes. It’s a fun little puzzle to figure out, I’ll admit!!
You really have to hand it to Grace. @avocadosockz is a comedic fucking genius and I wish I was half as funny 💀 Y’all don’t even see all the memes she makes. Maybe someday they’ll leave the containment of the gc lmao
Honestly, incredibly valid. You made a VERY compelling season of CDLM, it was very welcome and I applaud you. Honestly you’re pretty damn smooth. I’m with you on the sports lesbian thing. They are just so incredible and I am looking respectfully
Shark anon is a little terrifying, I’ll give you that. Love you Becca 🤪💛 That said,
Tumblr media
Again I regretfully say y’all only see the half of it. Real quote from the group chat: “i said yearn on the dash not make a sex tape on the dash” - Grace. Get a room challenge FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE APPARENTLY. Disgustingly adorable. Gross.
I am. Going to cry. I cannot believe THE otter anon is a fan of my werewolf Robin. Brb screaming into a pillow. Thank you so much dude!! It really means a lot!!!

OK, SO, HERE IT IS. THE LIST FOR THE POKEMON PODCAST AU, BECAUSE POKEMON IS OCCUPYING MY BRAIN RN.
ANYWHO, so first, we have WtNV!
Tumblr media
IGNORE HOW IT'S ONLY 4 PEOPLE but i could ony really think of teams for them 😔. ANYWAYS. Cecil, 100% a psychic trainer, not much to say there, æ. Carlos, on the other hand, even tho he'd be a normal trainer, I think he'd have pokemon with interesting properties on his team, hence the ones i assigned to him (Apart from bunnelby, I just think he'd have one because funny bunny!)!! AND KEVIN. BUGS, BUGS BECAUSE OF THE SMILING GOD, ALSO THE CENTIPEDE POKEMON IN SPECIFIC (and a joltik because they're very cute and i could definitely 100% see Kevin gently holding a Joltik). AND FINALLY, KASPER! Ofc I had to include him, I am The Kasper Guy™ after all! So. Ofc he'd have very big steel type pokemon! And also a genesect. Do not ask how he got that genesect, no one knows, and no one ever will know! ALSO MY FRIEND BROUGHT UP YUNGOOS SO I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUNNY IF HE JUST LIKE. HAS A GROUP OF THEM THAT CONSTANTLY FOLLOWS HIM DESPITE HIM WANTING NOTHING TO DO W THEM
AAAAND SECOND UP, we have Wolf359!
Tumblr media
I did.... basically every character for this one SO I WON'T REALLY GO INTO DETAIL LIKE I DID WITH WTNV BUT YEAH. also, I don't think Hera would JUST have a porygon z, I just forgot to list anything else 😔. however, i DO think that she would have a rotom! ALSO. I think Cutter would be one of those bitches who sees pokemon as tools and nothing else (he's a bitch and i hate him BUT WHY IS HE HOT 😢😢😢)
OKOK, ANYWAYS, LASTLY WE HAVE.... TMA!!!
Tumblr media
I DON'T REALLY HAVE TOO MUCH TO SAY ABOUT TMA EITHER, also i forgot to add that Jon would probably have like, a ! unown too. Also i hate elias soi thought it would be funny to give him a team that spelt out "LOSER" because i am a comedic genius
Tumblr media
I love unown. AND ALSO I GAVE HIM MALAMAR TOO. BECAUSE IT FITS.
ANYWAYS YEAH. I MIGHT DO SOME DRAWINGS BASED OFF OF THIS BUT HERE IT IS. rhgahagaga AND TO THOSE WHO READ THROUGH THIS ALL, THANK YOU, AND I HOPE Y'ALL ENJOYED, Æ!

Tumblr is fucking my brain up.
I’ve tried explaining it to my social circle but they dont fucking get it and it sure as hell doesn’t help when I try to show them what my dashboard looks like and it serves up the gayest fan art of Disco Elysium and Silco (from arcane) at that very moment, making them question my sexuality (I am a 32 year old, very straight, CIS-male fyi but I think that they suspect that I am bi now thanks to some of you!).
All this came about because I’ve let some tumblr vernacular slip into my conversations with them.
Besties, you will be surprised by how much offense is taken when you call some of your female friends “whore” or “slut” (affectionate), and you’d be surprised how hard it is to explain to them that it’s a term of endearment on this freaky little social media platform that only I and “that weird girl from Norrland I met through the internet” frequents.
Although they think I’m a comedic genius whenever I say shit like “fuck it, we ball”, because they think I come up with that nonsense all by myself.

for the fic ask game:
5, 11, 51, 72?
HELLOOO. thank you i need to get words out of my brain and unfortunately have nothing to say and also no motivation to write. ask games are PERFECT for this scenario. im putting this under a readmore cause i have 'never shut up' disease (good)
5: How many wips do you have?  What fandoms/pairings are they for?
ohgod dont even. get me started. its ridiculous. there are so many things sitting around in my folders. ummm well right now im mostly writing for toh so its that. im not really into Romantic shipping but i am deeply unwell about lilith clawthorne and everyone shes ever interacted with, as demonstrated by my entire blog.
so like theres 1 wip i have as in 'im actively working on it, I've made a commitment to it' BUT. then there's like. at least 10 different long-form things i started and never got around to. there's also 1 long-form thing i wanted to write with my grimwalker ocs but haven't gotten around to yet because of the complications of 38 different guys.
so MAINLY id say 3. c-s (calling it that in my notes don't question it), the one with my grimwalker ocs (it has a name but its difficult to explain so i wont right now), and also that human au textfic. i think I've mentioned it actually but what ever.
11: Do you write scenes in order, or do you jump around?
oh i write them so very in order. i get confused if i don't. but it pisses me off because now i have to write ONE thing to get to ANOTHER thing but i don't want to write that part!!! but that's only if its like, a piece of a bigger thing. if its a oneshot RELATED to that thing, then ill write whenever in the timeline i please.
51: Does what you like to write differ from what you like to read?
eh. LITTOL bit. but thats just because of Me Reasons (voice of guy whose brain is just really weird about morals sometimes for no reason) if i could i would write pretty much the same stuff i like to read
it differs in the sense that i write way more lilith than i read i suppose? that's mostly because i trudge through the lilith tag on ao3 with a massive shovel and find like 1 or 2 things i actually like though. if people wrote more about her in the coven i would be THERE for it. im deeply irregular about her
72: What’s your favorite writing compliment you’ve gotten?
oh gof i have no idea. um hold on let me scour my comment section. okay well not like a compliment in particular but i get really happy when people find the same lines funny that i did when i was writing. hell yeah. my comedic genius knows no bounds

Brettsey + Making a snack for the other one as they work
"Guys, something's wrong with Casey."
Gallo eyed his fellow Truck members dangerously, his eyes worriedly moving from their group at the common room table over to the kitchen.
He hadn't meant to spy on his Captain, really. It started out as a peaceful lunch, where Gallo was just eating his food in peace and talking with Ritter, Mouch, and Stella. Only his eyes had accidentally wandered over to the kitchen island, where he saw Matt standing there making something that not even a prison would feed to inmates. It struck him as horrifyingly concerning, so he'd alerted his fellow firefighters right away-- with the utmost discretion.
"What are you talking about, he's just making a sandwich," Ritter told him, barely looking up from his plate.
"Dude, I swear! Something's wrong with him, very very wrong. Look at what he's putting on it," Gallo protested, pointing over to Casey. At this point, the interest of Stella and Mouch was peaked too, and the three of them followed Gallo's finger to observe their Captain.
When they noticed just the same strange, unappetizing combination of ingredients, their faces soured in confused disgust too.
The bread part of the sandwich was normal, using the same whole wheat slices the firehouse normally gets. But the inner sides of each slice were being heavily slathered with peanut butter, and the ingredients he had out to put on it were things not made for a sandwich. A bag of marshmallows sat on one side, Casey grabbing a handful and putting it on one side. On the other, he put those small little sliced sandwich pickles-- the sweet ones Gallo's mom would always buy for him at the corner store. They've seen fires and car wrecks and 2nd degree burns, but this was by far the scariest thing he'd seen in his life. He looked over to the others, the same shocked expressions on their faces, and knew they felt somewhat the same.
Gallo probably shouldn't have been proud of it, but he was damn glad he was right about something for once instead of being made out to be crazy.
"Oh God," Ritter exclaimed with a wince. "Do you think he's really going to eat that?"
"I'm somewhat of a foodie myself but even I have my limits," Mouch added. "And that, my friends, is one foul looking sandwich."
Stella leaned in, causing the others to lean in to and form a small but discreet huddle at the table. "Should we say something?" She asked.
"We've gotta," Mouch insisted. "Casey is too good of a firefighter to eat something like that and potentially give himself a heart attack. Or the runs."
"I don't know, he's our Captain," Ritter countered. "It could go south real fast."
Gallo looked between his friends, mulling it over for a moment before giving a decisive nod. "I'll do it."
Ritter's eyes went wide. "You're the bravest guy I know," he blurted out in comedic awe.
"More like stupid," Stella chipped in, leaning back in her chair and raising her hands in surrender. "Have fun on your suicide mission, Gallo. It was nice knowing ya."
"Love the support, thank you for that," he replied sarcastically. "Ritter, if I don't make it back... I want you to have all of my stuff."
"That's so sweet man. I mean you're stuff's all garbage anyway but that's so sweet of you," Ritter cooed, giving a jokingly emotional sniffle. Gallo gave him one last grin and a thumbs up, before his eyes went narrow and he prepared himself for what was to come.
He walked up to the kitchen island, trying his best to act casual and play it cool. "Heyyy there, Captain," he started awkwardly.
Casey looked up from his horrid concoction, eyeing him for a moment. Gallo got the distinct feeling his attempt at being casual was only raising more suspicion, but Casey's eyes went back down to the cutting board and didn't think much of it. "Hey, Gallo."
"So, uh, I-- I mean all of us-- we were just wondering if you could maybe, I don't know..."
Gallo searched for the words (or rather the courage to say the ones he'd already found) as Casey sighed and looked up to him. "If you have something to say then spit it out already, Gallo. Don't be shy."
Casey's firm Captain voice was enough pressure to send all of the words flooding out of Gallo in one panicked exhale. "You can't eat that sandwich, Captain. You jut can't. It's the most disgusting thing we've ever seen and it'll probably give you a heart attack and we really like having you around so just please put the butter knife down and don't eat that horrible, horrible thing."
Matt's eyes widened slightly at Gallo's sudden outburst. A moment of silence hung in the air when Casey looked at him, then down at the sandwich, then back up at him. "Listen to me, Gallo," Matt started, putting a hand on his shoulder and pulling him in. "You're right: this sandwich is awful. It's the worst thing I've ever had to make. But you are not going to mention anything about this sandwich again, and that's an order. Am I clear?"
Gallo's muscles froze up in shock (and in fear, admittedly, because Captain Casey can be scary when he wants to be). He gave a small nod and swallowed hard, his nerves kicking in and making him stutter. "Y-yes, copy that, Captain."
"Good," Matt replied, nodding in satisfaction.
Gallo should have left it at that, really. He was happy to get away with his life, the smart thing to do was go back to the table. But everyone at the table was eyeing him expectantly, and when he turned back to see them he knew he couldn't resist the temptation to ask follow-up questions. "Uh, sorry, I just have to know. I'll drop it after this, Captain, I promise. But... why are you going to eat a disgusting sandwich like that?"
Matt cut the sandwich in half, putting it on a plastic plate before looking up at Gallo with a slightly frustrated glance. "I'm not making it for myself," he explained simply with a shrug.
"Then who are you making it for--" Gallo began to ask but was then interrupted by someone hobbling into the common room, her peppy tone making her instantly recognizable before Gallo even turned around to see who it was.
A very starving and very pregnant Sylvie stood before them, making her way over to where they were standing as ambo returned from a call.
"Hey, Gallo," she greeted him kindly before turning to Matt.
Before anything else was said and before Gallo could even try to make sense of all of this, Casey grabbed the plate with the sandwich on it and handed it over to his wife. Gallo was about to run, preparing to shield himself from the colossal shit Casey was about to get himself in by handing his own damn wife a horrendous sandwich like that. Only she didn't retract in disgust or even sour her face. Instead, she lit up in excitement.
"You made me lunch?"
"Yep," Matt confirmed with a grin. She leaned over the island, her hand resting on the small baby bump that'd formed on her over the past four months, and kissed Matt soundly on the lips.
"My hero," she cooed into the kiss. "Ugh, this baby's been making me hungrier than usual, I'm starving. Thank you so much."
"Of course," he replied sweetly, giving Gallo a knowing glance as if to make sure their conversation from earlier stayed between them. Once Gallo returned the glance and nodded to assure Matt he got the message, Matt relaxed a little and moved around the island to stand by his wife's side, his arm wrapping around her shoulders and rubbing circles on her arm.
It all made sense now to Gallo. It doesn't take a genius to put the pieces together and figure out Sylvie Brett's weird pregnancy craving and it's disgusting combination of ingredients. And he understood Casey's insistence on Gallo keeping his mouth shut now. If Gallo were him, he wouldn't want his wife to hear someone bad-mouthing her pregnancy cravings either. The wrath that would be unleashed would be unbearable. He'd seen Sylvie's tough side before-- the side of her Stella lovingly called "Sylvie 'Two Ts' Brett" for some reason-- and knew better than to mess with it.
Sylvie gave her husband and Captain one last kiss before humming happily and biting into the sandwich. Not a single expression of disgust was made, instead happily groaning as her craving was satisfied. From the table, Gallo, Stella, Ritter, and Mouch all eyed her with utter shock. Pregnancy cravings must be strong as hell-- or maybe it was just Sylvie who was the stone-cold killer, being able to eat a sandwich like that. They didn't know.
All they knew was that Matt smiled with the smallest bit of amusement dancing in his eye as he lovingly watched his wife eat her disgusting sandwich, and Gallo thought a love like that was stronger than any craving could dream to be.
