Scrublands (2023 - )

Follows investigative journalist Martin Scarsden as he has to uncover the truth of the case of killing of five parishioners by a charismatic and dedicated young priest.

An enjoyable Aussie drama and a mystery. It is based on a book (which I haven't read) so I couldn't compare, however, as a series it was short and sweet and very enjoyable. Definitely check it out if you like your mystery dramas set in a moody and isolated town.

The Dunes (2021)

Directed by Martin Copping

Cinematography by Chris Ekstein

lena in the magnus protocol trailer: “you don’t want this job. unless you’re stalking your coworkers, lying on your cv, threatening to kill the boss, or literally just a monster pretending to be you, you unfortunately won’t be a good fit here 🤚”

i'm only partway through ep five of true detective but god. the escalation of martin's misogyny to where he hits and slut-shames his teenage daughter audrey in the same sentence that he talks about a statutory rape charge against the young men she was found in a car with, and how this is immediately preceded by a scene of him being congratulated for rescuing a child from a child rapist/murderer, who he himself killed assassination-style out of sheer rage. he got away with covering it up as a defensive kill, he received a promotion, he got a second chance with his wife maggie whom he cheated on and got to be with his young daughters again. despite all that he does wrong, all is right in martin's world. audrey, though, now a teenager, is now at the receiving end of her father's hatred of women; she doesn't even realize that she has been at this receiving end since she was a child of nine or so, ever since her parents found her drawings of naked men and women having sex in her school notebook. maggie is properly disturbed by this, wondering if audrey is possibly being sexually abused, knowing very well how early girls learn about sex because of the dangers they face as girls, while martin is only angry at audrey for displaying a knowledge of sex in the first place. he can't cope that his young daughter is a woman to-be. he can't possibly marry his own ideas and treatment of women with the reality that both of his children will soon become those very women. and since he categorically gets what he wants without ever needing to challenge his perceptions or change himself in any capacity, he continues to direct his rage at women, and his daughters suffer for it. even maisie, favored over audrey by martin, starts facing direct whispers of his misogyny as she makes the cheerleading team, something with a clearly sexual connotation in martin's mind.

and on the very same page is rust, who in his previous job had also killed a suspect upon discovery of child abuse. he, however, received no accolades; he instead spent time at a psychiatric hospital, as this was viewed as a mental breakdown in connection with the recent loss of his own daughter, sofia. rust, refusing pension, was instead sent to do undercover work for an extensive seven years as consequence. he loses a lot in the aftermath of his daughter's death; his marriage falls apart, he copes by overworking, he doesn't sleep. he is haunted by sofia's presence. he's often detached and pessimistic, only able to view the world in strict functions: cause and effect. fear and desire. animals playing power-games on what is truly a nothing planet in the scope of the universe. upon becoming martin's partner, he gets to witness martin fucking up a life he himself once had -- he gets to witness him be emotionally unavailable to his daughters, watches him cheat on his wife -- but rust can do only that. observe, and let martin know he observes. and he makes sure martin still maintains his chances, encouraging him to cover up the crime of murdering a suspect, telling him that his relationship with maggie will turn around.

here's the thing, though: rust has something that martin wishes he had, too. martin wishes he could view his daughters as forever-children. he doesn't wish they had died as sofia had as just a toddler, obviously not -- but their unavoidable womanhood is, to him, its own death sentence. he hates that his children are becoming the very women he derides and uses to bolster his own position as a man. he hates that their innate womanhood would dare beg him to change his mindset for the sake of his relationships with them as their father, for the sake of their safety in the world. he could only dream of his daughters being perfectly innocent non-women forever, something only their early graves could ever promise.

thinking about how in the magnus protocols universe tim and sasha are (probably) alive, and don't know each other

thinking about how basira and daisy are still cops, (probably) slowly getting corrupted by the hunt (again)

thinking about how georgie and melanie may finally be able to be healthy and happy together (fear and eyes in tact)

thinking about the other jon and martin. the other jon and martin who have not met. without the magnus institute, without the horrors, they never would have fallen in love.

thinking about our jon and martin, in love and in a computer

thinking about what would happen if they met their others. the others of their friends. thinking about

the them. I swear this is the last time I'm changing any design sorry

+ stuff idk

the most annoying part of lucifer on netflix is that he was literally right the whole time. i don't give a shit if the literal actual god was "just trying his best." lucifer was 100% right to be angry at god and in fact, i think everyone should've been downright pissed when they met him. ESPECIALLY linda. fuck her for real for telling him that his conflict with god was partially his fault. lucifer described an abusive father to her countless times and the second she met him she started fawning over him? fuck that. chloe should've punched god in the face

now im also still thinking about tma dnd au.... mostly i agree with jonny&alex' assignments. Signing a contract to work in the Archives is really signing a pact with the Eye, so everyone there multiclasses in warlock, but only Jon really gains levels in it because of all the xp he gets by reading statements. Tim is a fighter, Sasha a 'real' wizard, Martin a bard who performs poetry instead of playing an instrument, says he studied at the College of Lore, but really he's self-taught and not even level 3 in bard.

Species though. i mostly drew Jon as a tiefling cause i wanted to give him horns but really, a tiefling would be preoccupied with whether or not he's turning into a monster. Sasha can just be human, and i think Tim is a half-elf, charismatic, easily fitting in with most crowds.

On the one hand i want Martin to be tall. but on the other. he just is a halfling. easily underestimated, typically caring, not very fast, not easily immobilized by fear, and, considering how little he gets hurt or wounded compared to tma's other characters, definitely a certain kind of lucky

1965.

Conservative mouthpiece William F. Buckley said the police brutality against Civil Rights Marchers in Selma, Alabama was justified.

What does Amy and Michael feel about the cop

They didn't trust him at first. They know officers had hurt their father very much when John was arrested the first time.

With time they learnt to accept him as a very trusted allied. Not at first though. Not at first. And John never noticed a thing...

The old research squad all have special slightly illigal information acquiring skills: Tim with flirting and manipulating people (mostly police officers) into telling him stuff, Sasha with hacking and well Martin never worked in research (i do think Sasha did between artifact storage and the archieves) and is mentioned to not have the right credenciais and while that likely means the most formal things like writing proper reports, typos and random academic information it makes sense at least in season one that he doesn't have a research problematic skill but that still raises the question what was Jon special and slightly illigal research skill and my suggestion is: invading private property.

All of them do it, but Jon is the one that has the most sucess in doing it without being caught ( I mean "suplemental I invaded Gertrude's house" and I just rly don't remember he being caught once) also there is a non-zero chance that the reason the cops were the ones returning wandering baby Jon back to his grandma was because at eight and younger he was already invading places.

I need these 2 back together in a movie. It doesn't have to be Star Trek. Just put them in something together! With plenty of screen time. Together. I need it.

if i had a nickel every time i hyperfixated on a fiction podcast where the main characters started an apocalypse rife with insanity and fear and eldrich horrors described in the most disgusting interesting way id have two nickels which isnt a lot but its weird that its happened twice
