One of his rules was never to resist a woman who said she wanted to finish. Either she meant it, in which case resistance would be foolish. Or she didn't mean it, in which case resistance would be what she wanted, and therefore insane.
Reginald Hill, Deadheads

Well, thou art
A useful tool sometimes, thy tooth works quickly,
And if thou gnawest a secret from the heart
Thou tellest it not again.

okay maybe I’m biased, but did it bother anyone else how literally none of the characters acknowledge that Harlan /is/ like family to Viktor? When they’re deciding whether or not to give him to the Sparrows it’s always “Harlan saved our lives” or “Viktor owes Harlan for giving him powers”. Not “Viktor partly raised him” or “Harlan is like a son to Viktor”. Family is soooo important but Harlan doesn’t get to count?
#the umbrella academy#tua s3#tua spoilers#I know he’s an old ass man in s3 but that doesn’t stop viktor from feeling the responsibility of taking care of him for a year#Allison can be irrational in her grief and that’s so valid but no one else sees the problem with#‘I killed your child bc you very indirectly caused the non-existence of mine’???#even though I will die on the hill that Claire wouldn’t exist if the umbrella academy didn’t. at the very least Allison’s child would be a#different person even IF non-umbrella Allison somehow also met and loved Patrick#so the problem was not Harlan it’s still Reginald deciding not to adopt them#I haven’t finished the season so don’t @ me if this is brought up later#mine

A Ghost Story for Christmas: The Signalman (BBC, 1976)
"The tunnel collision is the worst to be feared. Your nightmares would go hard to equal it. The wreckage becomes hideously compressed in the confined space. If fire breaks out, the tunnel and its ventilating shafts become furnace flues. You cannot see in the dark to get the wreckage and the bodies out. The screams of the injured and dying echo in a most... persistent way. It's the shape of the tunnel, you see, sir."
#a ghost story for christmas#the signalman#charles dickens#single play#horror tv#1976#bbc#classic tv#andrew davies#lawrence gordon clark#denholm elliott#bernard lloyd#reginald jessup#carina wyeth#rosemary hill#holds a very special place in my heart as not only the first of the LGC Ghost Stories i ever saw (a late night bbc repeat many years ago#and before they were all so readily available) but also as perhaps the first ghost story i ever read: i was gifted a book of ghostly tales#as a small child (a bizarre choice as i was a trembling flower of a child who feared absolutely everything) and i have never forgotten the#cover‚ an illustration of the titular signalman waving his flag in thick mist or smoke. it has remained a favourite tho‚ perhaps bc#it hits on some of my very favourite ideas and tropes in horror fiction: the self fulfilling prophecy‚ the inevitability of an event and#the echoes it casts‚ backwards as well as forwards; horror as a cycle or ouroboros‚ where the victim and the monster (for want of a better#term: the supernatural perhaps) are one and the same but the realisation comes too late. Davies' script works hard to pack a lot of this in#to a modest running time (a notable early work from him and one of his first adaptations of a victorian work‚ something that has become#in many ways the focus of his career and at which he truly excels). largely a two hander between Lloyd's well meaning skeptic and the#peerless Elliott as the troubled railwayman‚ but Clark is working as hard as ever to make the setting and the decor into just as vital#characters (could a more foreboding and significant looking train tunnel even exist? a spectacular find by someone at the bbc)#not perhaps the archetypal LGC ghost story for christmas (it's not a James story for a start) but a genuinely superlative example of#the ghost story as told for the medium of television.

Edwin Digweed in Reginald Hill’s Death’s Jest-book (2002).
#quote#bookblr#literature#dalziel and pascoe#reginald hill#sure dalziel and pascoe are the main characters of these novels#but i read them for wieldy and his bookseller boyfriend#this is probably why i enjoyed death’s jest-book as much as i did#because there were so many glimpses into ed and ed’s domestic life#(and wieldy performing karaoke which is a mental image i cannot erase)#what can i say i just adore they relationship#edwin is precisely what edgar needs#he’s the stable centre of edgar’s at times unstable universe

Daphne had sounded cold and hostile as only the well-brought-up English girl can sound cold and hostile. Ellie had read enough Marxist interpretation of history to know that the wrath of the bourgeoisie was not to be taken lightly.

Quote
Little and grisly, or bony and big,
White, and clattering, grassy and yellow;
The partners are waiting, so strike up a jig,
Dance and be merry, for Death's a droll fellow.
Where's Death and his sweetheart? We want to begin.

the deal
forgot to mention that this is a modern au
also lots of ooc moments, might be yandere as well
getting to know them
trying to keep your cool, you let bowers’ arms wrap around you, he was your ‘seatbelt,’ as he said just a few moments ago.
you had to admit, his grasp was comfortable, you almost started to lean into it, but quickly stopped yourself.
“so, newbie, where you from?” a voice from behind you hit your neck, making you jump, a chuckle comes from henry. “did i scare ya, sweetie?”
“i.. i’m from washington.. state.” (random choice) you said, flustered, “a.. a little bit.”
“are they breaking?” vic says in a taunting tone, reaching over and giving you a boop. “don’t worry, hon.”
“where are we going?” you asked, bowers put his head on one of your shoulders, the sudden touch made you jump again, “ah, shit.”
“sorry, newbie.” bowers said, “i just wanna introduce ourselves to you, and you do the same to us.”
“o-okay,” you said, “in town or somewhere else?”
“belch, pull into one of the parking lots.” bowers ordered, belch does so, pulling into a somewhat populared diner parking lot. putting the car in park, the car was still running. “alright.. let’s begin shall we?”
bowers grabbed you by the waist and slid you off his lap, putting you in the middle of him and patrick.
“i’ll start.” bowers said, “my name’s henry bowers, i’m the leader, i guess you could say, of this group. the dude in the driver seat is belch, but his real name is reginald.” belch gave you a small smile and wave, you waved back.
“you burp pretty loud or something?” the chubby boy nodded, he demonstrated, and impressed you, “you should teach me some time.”
“sure.” he said, chuckling softly.
“over there is vic.” henry said, pointing at the boy in the passenger seat, the platinum blonde haired boy winked at you, “and last but not least, we have patrick.”
“so, a human teddy bear, two doppelgängers of the villian that everyone wishes was dating them, and an outsider?” you said, thinking put loud, “sorry, i just like making analogies.”
“you’re good, newbie.”
meanwhile..
“w-what do you mean they were taken by b-bowers?” a worried bill asked, ben had just explained what had happened.
“we were gonna hang out at the library for a while, but bowers had taken me before i could even enter the place, (name) had arrived a few moments after.” ben said, “t-they protected me, bowers and his goons took them after they pushed me down the hill.”
“we have to get them back.” eddie exclaimed, “bowers probably took interest in them.
“i am who wouldn’t? they’re so hot.” richie said, licking his lips, only to get wacked by beverly, “ow!”
“now’s not the time to joke about this shit, we have to get them out of danger!” beverly called out.
“you’re right.” mike said, “..but where would they be?”
“look for that blue car.” eddie said, “that’s their bus.”
“c’mon then, w-we sh-should get (n)-(name) back.” bill ordered, the rest of the group agrees and gets on their bikes. “they’re h-hopefully in t-town.”
back with you..
bowers decided that it was time to propose a deal.
“w-what?!”
“you heard me, we’ll leave your friends alone, if you hang out with us.”
“why do you like me so much, i barely know you people?”
“yes, you do, darling.” henry said, cupping your chin, while patrick, who was behind you, played with your hair. “well, not yet. but, we know you like it’s the back of our hands.”.
“you’ve been spying on me?” you ask, henry smiles at you with a bit of possessiveness. “i-i’m sorry, but i just need some..”
“don’t worry, sweets. neither of us will do anything to harm you, all you gotta do is ask us to stop, and we’ll stop.” henry said, before leaning in to you.
before anything could happen, a loud bang from outside the car was heard, it was richie.
“HEY, THAT’S MY HOT BABE!”

April 20, 2024: blessing the boats, Lucille Clifton
blessing the boats
Lucille Clifton
(at St. Mary's)
may the tide
that is entering even now
the lip of our understanding
carry you out
beyond the face of fear
may you kiss
the wind then turn from it
certain that it will
love your back may you
open your eyes to water
water waving forever
and may you in your innocence
sail through this to that
--
