I find it so hilarious to think about the fact that the last fatherly advice Frank ever gave to them (while believing he was their bio dad) was to not bang each other. The outtake with him saying "there's no future in it" is my favorite cause he's so serious about it. Like think this through! I know you want each other carnally but please stop to consider it might be a bad idea!!

And the fact that his main concern is the hypothetical fucked up babies... What if they just promised to use protection. Would it be okay then or?

🌍 Earth: What do you think is the foundation of your WIP?

⚡Lightning: What’s the most shocking plot twist you’ve ever come up with?

🪨 Rock: How do you deal with writer’s block?

💐 Spring: Have you ever scrapped (a huge chunk of) a story to start over?  Why did the change come about?

🌎 the foundation of my WIP(s):

Honestly, as someone who mostly writes for exchanges and other challenges with set deadlines, I’m never sure how to interpret “WIP”! So, I’m taking a two-pronged approach:

1) The WIP I most recently updated was Chasing Demons, my Ace Attorney WIP which hasn’t seen an update since last year (oops) even though I still have the next 30k or so written. It’s basically a secret-parentage AU that got a bit out of hand…

I am bad at keeping up the momentum of regular posting when working on longfic! I think I worry about running out of buffer? But if I don’t post until I’m finished I would probably never finish (not that I tend to finish long fic anyway — I technically started this fic in 2009 and came back to it after a LONG break). I still find chaptered fics to be an elusive beast!

(That being said, I’ve not tried it since I’ve been properly medicated for my ADHD so. Perhaps in the future?)

2) The most recent WIP in terms of ‘wrote down some words about something’ (that I can talk about aka isn’t for an exchange) is probably the inquisitor!Meredith AU I’ve been noodling away at, but atm it’s mostly just ‘hypothetical conversations with Warden Contact Loghain’ and ‘very awkward interactions with Cullen’

⚡️most shocking plot twist:

I’m not sure about ‘shocking’, but I’m definitely quite proud of the ending of ‘a celebration of being alive’, my Loghain/f!Cousland fic, because it was a concept that had been living rent free in my head for a while and apparently last year I thought a good birthday present would be writing a fic for myself for once 😜

🪨 dealing with writer’s block

Poorly! But in like, the opposite direction to what other people seem to experience in which I will just start writing something new and this is why I find long-term projects difficult 🙈 Generally if I’m taking a break from writing I won’t even make myself try to write; I know the urge will come back eventually.

If I’m writing something for a deadline and things are stagnating I’ll usually put on some music that reminds me of the characters and go for a walk or a drive because my brain goes faster when in motion. If it’s something plot-related I’m stuck on, I’ll usually brainstorm with a friend because a fresh set of eyes always helps. For characterisation, canon review. For ‘everything I type seems like liquid shit’, a break 🥲

💐 have i ever scrapped a huge chunk of content to start again?

I don’t think so, not really — I rarely get rid of stuff entirely (I’ll move it to a separate outtakes document). It’s like keeping scraps of fabric 🙈

Crossing the Bridge

Somewhere Else Under the King

In this entry, Trilby and Jim mourn a friend:

Trilby, somehow, has a guest over tonight.

It was likely to happen sooner or later. After learning Jim was working for the STP, it wasn’t long before he learned they were set up in the same building. Having Jim as a neighbor might be the one upside to the whole thing.

“Hey Trilby, does your TV and VCR work?” Jim asks, holding up a video tape.

“Yes?” Trilby answers, unsure, and tips his hat back. “Did the last time I tried it, but that was a long time ago. Why?”

Jim passes the tape between his hands, stepping closer to the couch. “Well, since you were on an assignment and I had gone into hiding, neither of us could go to… to Simone’s funeral.” He gently taps the tape on his fingers. “I don’t know if us being there would’ve been right even if we could go, but I thought... I- I recorded it. What they showed on the BBC, that is. And a retrospective they did on Simone’s life.” He holds it out towards Trilby as though in offering. “Want to watch it with me?”

Trilby takes the tape. The meaning of it tricks his hands, makes it heavier than a tape should be. It holds more than Trilby ever got to know of Simone Taylor, possibly all that he can ever learn of Simone now. A person’s life prematurely reduced to memories and tape winding the story out for them. He hands the tape back to Jim and says, “Yes.”

Jim sets it up quick and takes a spot on the couch.

The retrospective plays first. Trilby guessed Simone was about the same age as him, and in truth she wasn’t much older, but it didn’t strike him until now just how young that really is. Her eyes shine and her mouth pulls into an eager smile, enjoying the anticipation for her report. She shares her findings in a crisp, clear tone, imbuing every word with the weight of fact. She banters with her cameraman in an outtake, laughing not as one who doesn’t know the burdens of the world but one who has learned shouldering them requires a joke or two. Her investigations span everything from health and safety regulations to political scandal to-

“Oh no,” Trilby says, covering his mouth with his hand for a moment. “Is this-?”

But Jim doesn’t have to answer. The screen shows them what Trilby would call an accurate if unflattering rendering of himself and one of his old calling cards, and Simone is waxing hypothetical on who he really is under the mask.

Both of them start laughing, the sensation joyful and painful and ironic all at once.

“You know she wanted to interview me right then and there at DeFoe Manor?” Trilby tells Jim.

“That sounds like Simone,” Jim says, wiping at a tear with his knuckle.

“I wish I had done it now. After everything. I wish I hadn’t run.”

They laugh through what remains of that segment, but it isn’t long before the laughs die down and the tears of surprised mirth turn into tears of a different sort. The retrospective ends shortly after that part, thankfully skipping the unpleasant details of her turning to alcohol to cope with what happened and her sudden, brutal death. The two are silently weeping as the tape reaches the funeral, the funeral of someone who as far as they would have it should be sitting with them reminiscing on how they went through hell together but at least they never have to do it again.

The tape ends, the TV cutting to static snow.

“Alright?” Trilby asks Jim, sniffling as he does.

Jim nods, pressing the heel of his palm to his eye. “A- alright?” he asks back, his voice wavering.

“Yeah,” Trilby says. “Thank you for bringing that, Jim.”

Remembering YouTube’s Lost Unlisted Videos

Melinda teaches high school in the Bay Area and recently reached out to us with a problem. Her students just finished a video history project that she wanted to share with their parents and classmates. But she was concerned about posting the videos publicly because she didn’t want the whole world to find them (frankly, neither did her students). Melinda told us YouTube’s private sharing options -- a 25-person cap that’s limited to other YouTube users -- didn’t work for her. She needed a better option to privately share her students’ talent.Later today, we'll be rolling out a new choice that will help Melinda and other people like her: unlisted videos.-- Jen Chen, Software Engineer at Google, https://blog.youtube/news-and-events/more-choice-for-users-unlisted-videos/

On this day, 12 years ago, YouTube introduced unlisted videos as a compromise between a public and a private video. Perfect for sharing your history project with friends, video outtakes, or just about anything you didn't want cluttering your channel.

Some time later, a non-targetted exploit was discovered which could reveal the links of existing YouTube videos, but not the content itself. So in 2017, YouTube changed how links were generated to make links more unpredictable. It could have ended there, but it didn't.

https://datahorde.org/youtube-will-private-old-unlisted-videos-next-month/

Years later in 2021, YouTube decided that having their links be hypothetically predictable, might be problematic for old unlisted videos. So they decided to haphazardly automatically private old unlisted videos, uploaded prior to 2017.

Users were offered an option to opt-out, if their channels were still active AND they acted within a month of the announcement. Unfortunately millions of videos were lost in the name of security. Vlogs, school projects, outtakes, patreon videos; things people wanted to share BUT they didn't private.

Is there any silver lining to all of this? Not all is lost. There are collections like filmot which offer a non-invasive database of metadata on these unlisted videos, minus the videos themselves. There was also a project by Archive Team to archive a few TBs of unlisted videos, even if only a small sample. More than anything, YouTubers have been uploading re-uploads, in the case of inactive channels and/or significant unlisted videos.

Not to sound like a beggar, but we would really appreciate it if you could share this short blog post. Almost one year later this situation has still not become common knowledge. Also be sure to check out our unlisted video countdown from last year:

it's missing hypothetical hours

foxes take on the mall

so the foxes want to (or were coerced into wanting to) go see a movie at the theater in the mall but they decide to make a day of it so they get there way before the movie starts to just do whatever

when they first get there, they were all together and were trying to figure out where to go

they eventually broke off into groups and went off in different directions with the plan to meet up at the theater ten minutes before the movie started

Nicky and Andrew went off together to go shopping like the fashionable boys they are

as did Aaron and Allison, but to other stores

the other five started off together but pretty early on matt and neil ended up splitting from Kevin, Dan and Renee

now. Matt and Neil.

neither of them have any initiative to go shopping for any specific thing so they just drift around a bit

they find an escape room place and Neil is interested, so they go in for one

and come out approximately three minutes later because the first thing Neil picked up was somehow the box that had the very last clue and he picked the lock on the box and there the passcode was

matt was too impressed to tell Neil that that wasn't how most people played and he managed to convince the very confused lady who worked there to give him and Neil their money back because...three minutes

they did go into different stores, usually when Neil saw something that reminded him of one of the foxes and wanted to buy it

they hit every single corner of the mall that had free food samples and rated each of them between themselves

they also got loads of really shitty mall drinks and ended up hopped up on sugar

there were also lots of typical matt/neil conversations: "how do they get the car inside the mall?" "that is *not* how you pronounce Louis Vuitton, Matthew" "hypothetically, how much do you think you could sue the mall for if one of those massive decoration things fell down on you?"

they somehow ended up in multiple high end stores (one in which they saw Andrew and a very surprised-to-see-them-there looking Nicky)

matt also has a video of Neil running up the escalator..in the opposite direction

(matt actually has multiple videos of Neil running up the escalator in the opposite direction but in only one of them was Neil successful. he loves the outtakes even more though because watching Neil first struggle to get the hang of it and then watching him terrify old person after old person as he started reaching the top was hilarious. he'd be flying up the escalator and some nice old lady would then choose to step on and Neil would nearly trip himself as he tried to stop without crashing into her and then he would turn around, face furious, and ride the escalator all the way back to the bottom just to start again)

they found a churros vendor and while they were waiting for the new batch to be ready they plopped into the massage chairs that are placed randomly about the mall and matt has a selfie of the two of them looking very content and luxurious in the chairs as Neil debated the technicalities of getting one into his rooms in fox tower

at one point they also wound up in the arcade and bought fifteen dollars worth of tokens just so they could play air hockey a million times

Aaron and Allison saw them when they were in there and poked in long enough for Aaron to absolutely tear Neil apart in guitar hero. after they finished their game they had to wait like ten minutes for Allison and Matt to finish a very competitive round of Dance Dance revolution (matt is a king but if Allison was wearing sneakers.... well it'd be tough to call)

Matt introduced Neil to Auntie Anne's and the whole time they're waiting for their order Neil watched the person in the window twisting the pretzels at lightning speed

they pass by a Build a Bear workshop at one point and neither of them had ever been in there but like, it's very intriguing from the outside, so they wind up inside and walk around in awe for a little bit until they realize that every single person, parents and children and employees alike, are (not very subtley) staring at them because they're whole ass adults

"just looking," matt announces to the store at large. "you know, for our daughter." Neil snorts.

a similar thing happened at Claire's but this was because they stood there for like twenty minutes debating whether or not Neil should pierce his ears (they decide not to do it there after Matt relayed one horror story after another that he's heard about infections and whatnot from places like that)

they go into an electronics store so Matt can buy new headphones and in the five minutes it takes him to make his purchase Neil landed a new high score on a game on one of the sample phones laid out

by this point, they're starting to experience the first effects of what was looking to be a very intense sugar crash but they still have forty five minutes until they were to meet with the others so they settle down at one of the tables at the food court and order a bunch of fries

they have all their purchases laid out around them and they're both slouching with their feet propped up on opposite chairs and they're parallel to each other and practically laying down, just chatting under/across the table and lazily flicking a sugar packet back and forth between them

because the food court is on the way to the theater, this is how the others find them... looking like tourists who just rolled out of some sort of amusement park for the first time where they bought every single thing in the (albeit, expensive) gift shop

seriously.

i mean Neil has a Gucci fanny pack just sitting on his lap, sunglasses (with the tag still on them) propped on his head despite being indoors and his tongue is still blue from the slushy he had three hours ago.

Matt's not much better, as he's got his headphones wrapped around his neck, new shoes on his feet and a smudge of lotion on his cheek from the lady at the skin care kiosk who had attacked him with a free sample in a horrible attempt to flirt

the others migrated over to their table oddly fast for a group that was so spread out and within a minute of Dan and Kevin joining them (Renee had gone off to find Andrew and Nicky earlier) the others were all there (with, it should be mentioned, a mere dozen bags between the seven of them)..all there and staring in horror/fascination/awe at all the shit surrounding matt and neil

"how..how long were we gone for?" Dan says in lieu of "hello"

"is that real?" Nicky demands, pointing at the (Gucci) fanny pack in Neils lap

"yeah. you can have it though. I got two others. and I can't get any one of them adjusted comfortably"

mouths drop

"wHY?"

Neil shrugs. "matt said they were cool." (matt: flashes a peace sign above the table)

"why is your sleeve soaked?" Allison asks of neil

"mishap with the wish fountain"

"why are you wearing new shoes?" Dan asks of matt

"mishap with the wish fountain. the powers that be demanded a sacrifice for said mishap and apparently it was either my shoes or my boy"

(Neil bumps matt's fist from where they're still laying across from each other under the table)

while the others cautiously poke through Neil and Matt's bags and attack their fries, Andrew flicks the house shaped cardboard box on the table with a "what the hell is this?"

"oh that's- shit what's his name? hold on I have his birth certificate somewhere." Neil starts to push himself up from where he's been practically horizontal for nearly forty minutes to root around in the Build a Bear box

"his name is Edmund you negligent, negligent father," matt says from where he is still horizontal and practically hidden on the other side of the table

"ah, right," Neil says, turning back to Andrew. "that's Edmund"

Andrew just stares.

"my teddy bear," Neil explains. "well, my and matt's teddy bear. well, technically he's a teddy frog but if it's all the same to you..."

Andrew looks at him closely. "are you drunk?"

"no. but we did have a shit ton of candy from the arcade and sugar from the pretzels and slushies so I'm not feeling too hot anyway but it's good, I'm good"

*insert distressed Kevin Day noises*

"how..long...were we gone for?" Dan asks again looking around dazedly

Neil shrugs and then starts. "oh by the way Dan, I got you something"

he sits up fully and starts looking around for a bag when Renee hastily cuts in with a "why don't you wait until we're back home to get into that. the movie's about to start. well, if we're still doing that?" this last thing she addresses to the group at large but is directly mostly to matt and neil

"what? yeah no of course." Neil looks under the table to Matt for confirmation. "Matt. Matty. Boyd."

"yeah yeah I'm down, lets go."

needless to say, neither Matt nor Neil make it through even half the movie

*Kicks down the door*

What if we get Wing Grooming in the second season of GO??

Oh God, I'll die on the spot.

Ooh. Well that would certainly be something, no? As a display of intimacy and affection. I've read a few fics in that vein and the common thread seems to be sensuality--that wing grooming is a form of sensual play. I've always imagined that when the the wings are encased, the place on either Aziraphale or Crowley's back where they come out must be very sensitive (an erogenous zone, of sorts). Wing grooming is also about trust, I feel...being vulnerable enough to allow another being into that personal space, and in the case of Aziraphale and Crowley, I don't think either of them would trust anyone but each other to do that.

Of course, this also raises the question of how the filming of such a scene would go, as the wings would be CGIed in and not actually there. Would Michael be massaging David's shoulders? Sensually touching David's hair, or the base of his neck? Or the reverse...David massaging Michael, long fingers teasing over the back of his head all the way down to his collarbone, making Michael's skin heat under his touch? They both seem to have documented hair-pulling kinks as well, so that would make things even more interesting.

(The outtakes. The outtakes. Sweet Jesus on a Tadfield bicycle, we need the hypothetical outtakes...)

Lovely. Thank you for this delightfully distracting daydream on a Friday morning...

If Misha had an relationship with Jensen, he wouldn't have kissed Jared.

Oh Nonnie,

I know that this is really just pure trolling but it did amuse me because 1) would you say the same thing about Misha’s actual wife (that he shouldn’t kiss, her if he’s in a relationship with Jensen)? and 2) do you have any idea what Jared Tristan Padalecki is like on set?? 

To take the second point first, it’s not that Misha kissed Jared it’s that 200+ pounds of Jared pinned Misha to the floor then pecked him and Misha, accepting his fate, puckered up back. Jared is always like this. We have heard many, many times about his “pranks” that involve groping, ball fondling/squeezing, licking, and all manner of other things. (I actually find these stories uncomfortable because they come too close to harassment that is tolerated with a “boys will be boys” attitude and I want Jared to be better than that.) Misha is often/usually the target of these “pranks.” This is just another one of those instances, as when we see Jared lick Misha’s face or grab him by the cheeks to try to kiss him or grab him from behind and bend him over (all things on other gag reels). 

Right, so, this wasn’t a loving “we’re boyfriends” kiss, nor was it a sexy “God I want you” instance. That’s why it can be on the gag reel! Do you think that if Jensen and Misha kissed it would a) look like this or b) be appropriate to the gag reel? I have a theory that they do, in the crypt scene outtakes that reference “Indiana Jones” (a scene where there is a kiss right after “does it hurt here,” which they say) but that we’ll never see it. Because they can’t show us something that looks like that!! What if we spot the intimacy? 

And speaking of intimacy...you know how non-monogamy works, right? To take seriously for a second the idea that if Misha were romantically involved with Jensen he wouldn’t kiss another guy and apply the logic test to it is to find that it just doesn’t hold up. Non-monogamy is specifically NOT only kissing one person. And Misha is married. So he already, in this hypothetical, kisses at least that one other person. We’ve also seen him kiss Sebastian, Rob, Kim, Briana, and probably others. He’s a little kiss promiscuous, bless him. 

So even if this were Misha’s idea (which it wasn’t) and even if he meant the kiss seriously (which he didn’t) it wouldn’t matter a whit to any theories about whether he’s in a romantic relationship with Jensen. I hope you get some more satisfactory responses from other Cockles blogs you sent this to.

So umm, hypothetically speaking, if a gal were to want to try and get access to outtakes from the sub/dom-pink-ruffle-shirt W magazine shoot featuring Armie and Timmy, how would one go about doing that? Just out of idle curiosity, for a friend.

“Underwater America with Peter Potamus” (episode 1: Prologue and La Jolla)

Herewith is the transcript of the first episode of a hypothetical documentary series entitled Underwater America with Peter Potamus, featuring the title character in a series of SCUBA diving adventures across the United States with a few close friends, so to speak.

*************

PETER POTAMUS, sitting on the front porch of his beach house sipping on some iced tea: Hello there ... the name’s Peter Potamus, master of wanderlust and sometime SCUBA diver. You might say wanderlust is in my blood, something I inherited from my father, Perry Potamus. And it’s this spirit of wanderlust as is inspiring this latest set of adventures, where I lead a group of close buddies in a series of SCUBA diving adventures from California to Maine. (And will likely meet a few others along the way.) In case you wonder who these buddies are, they will graciously introduce themselves:

[Whence we find the members of the company identifying themselves by name as their faces come on screen, to wit: Wally Gator, Loopy De Loop, Magilla Gorilla, Hokey Wolf, Lippy the Lion, Hardy Har-Har, Breezly Bruin and Mildew T. Wolf.]

PETER POTAMUS, resuming: Assisting me in these endeavours is no less than Squiddly Diddly, who you might call the Head Cameraman and Bottle-Washer, among other titles (or what pass for them.)

SQUIDDLY DIDDLY: And may I just say that I am rather delighted to be part of the Underwater America company of divers! After all, since Bubbleland began seriously going downhill, you might say I’ve been at a loss for seriously keeping going, but when Peter Potamus offered me this cameraman position, you could say that I am rather stoked already!! (Uh, that’s how we beach folk refer to getting seriously enthused!)

PETER POTAMUS: You may not find much of the Hippo Hurricane Holler on our journey, but suffice it to say that we plan to discover the joy of SCUBA as we cross our way across America....

You might say it all started on a lazy late winter’s afternoon at my beach house somewhere in Southern California, things starting to segue into springtime ... and I came up with the idea of this little diving company perhaps diving our way across fresh and salt waters from California to Maine. Which, before too long, saw our company hold a few informal discussions and practice dives, with yours truly as a sort of instructor ...

[What follows could be called “outtakes” from some of the more informal coaching sessions in the diving experience, including technique in fitting the harness, biting into the regulator, checking the air tanks and even cleaning the dive masks with the “spit-and-rinse” technique. Not to mention fitting everything in proper sequence, fins going on last.]

You couldn’t help but sense how enthused, bemused even, as my buddy Snagglepuss would parse it, this company became about diving ... and just how fun it could get over time.

WALLY GATOR, aside and off-camera: For an alligator like yours truly, the very idea of discovering SCUBA amounted to something new. At least it’s a change from that brackish and shallow pond I had in the zoo under Mr. Twiddle, don’t you know ...

HARDY HAR-HAR, again off-camera: I think it’s a good thing this Peter Potamus is teaching me to be rather patient underwater. Besides, wearing SCUBA gear when you do, it’s important to be rather patient!

[Some scenes from practice dives throughout]

PETER POTAMUS: But what really started our whole travelling SCUBA party [pronouncing it in the quasi-sophisticated “par-tay”, mainly for laughs] was a rather lazy Saturday afternoon in the Underwater Gardens off La Jolla, California, which is just north of San Diego. In fact, La Jolla saw some of America’s first experiences in freediving ...

[Plenty of bombastically overeeaching aerial footage of the cove at La Jolla, eventually leading to the dive boat chartered for this dive ... and an eventual group shot of the party getting prepped up for the dive, with Peter P. reminding everybody that in SCUBA, one enters the water backwards, making sure to grasp mask and regulator firmly with one hand while diving in. Followed by the dive into the waters, Peter starting the exercise ... and the scene shifting underwater.]

(Thanks to shoxxe.deviantart.com for the preceding)

PETER POTAMUS, as the divers get organised and get underway: You try not to get TOO stunned at such beauty as is La Jolla underwater ... in fact, our dive boat was anchored in close proximity to two particularly famous near-shore dive spots: The Kelp Forest and the Sea Caves. Given the rather legendary size of such kelp, and how dense it can get, you really have to paddle through such strands to avoid getting entangled ... which was almost the case with a certain Wally Gator there [footage showing Wally Gator in the dilemma of giant sea kelp close to his ankle, but managing to come loose when some sea lions bit off a piece of the kelp] until the sea lions came along ... and speaking of sea lions, who are fond of swimming these waters [witness displays of especially Peter Potamus, Breezly Bruin and Loopy De Loop nuzzling at sea lion pups as much as adults], who couldn’t resist the experience? I admit there’s something of a sense euphoric in the whole ...

[We can find the party being guided towards some underwater caverns in the general vicinity, with at least two of the party shining flashlights into the crevasses and discovering some native lobster and fish]

And it just seemed a little strange to have these same sea lions guiding us to some underwater caverns close to shore ... however, given that we’re just a party bunch of divers, you don’t want to take the experience too seriously, except to throw some light just inside the portal and see how far it can go....

[We can see Mildew Wolf being approached by a maturish sea lion as wants to cuddle him so in a somewhat comical way]

For Mildew Wolf “himself,” it just seems the La Jolla sea lions can’t quite resist his otherwise mangy charms...

MILDEW WOLF, off camera: As pretty much seems to be my case having to swear off lamb al fresco--thanks to a certain Bow-Wow Buttinski as shall remain nameless for the moment!

PETER POTAMUS: You have to admit that La Jolla underwater carries with it a certain sort of charm impressing practically anybody diving into its waters--and who more so than Lippy the Lion, [we can see Lippy nuzzling the nose of a sea lion pup as swam up close], who couldn’t resist a sea lion’s company for some reason or another!

[Meanwhile, back on the boat, as the crew take off their gear and kit ...]

La Jolla may be wonderful in its own right ... but next week, join us and some local feline dive cuties on no less than the legendary Catalina Island off Southern California for an interesting dive experience at a legendary dive spot in and of itself....

The Librarians Periscope Live

Since I can’t watch UPtv because I live outside the US (not salty about that, not at all), I’ve watched the Live on Periscope that was supposed to be on Facebook, but Facebook was dead, so here’s what happened:

UPtv has given us a new home and said that if they get enough “love” they might do something for either a new movie or season 5

Dean had an ear piece to hear the questions and was playing FBI/CIA agent 

First “on screen” was John Kim to “talk behind the girls’ backs” (they were all behind the cameras)

Dean would have loved to explore the Mayan Mythology in season 5 (and again said it still might happen)

John was asked if he thought that Ezekiel would have changed had he picked up the Apple of Discord in season 4 since he didn’t change in season 1, and he said absolutely no and Dean added that there’s a freaking reason why the answer is a big fat no and it’s in the special that they did so, hey, those of you who can watch UPtv will find out! (n.d.a. Not salty at all, really). Also he said that Ezekiel is always both the best and the worst version of himself, so really, no.

John said his fave memory is his first day because he knew nothing, where Portland was (”it’s west of New Hampshire, right?”), what he was supposed to do etc., but everyone was really welcoming 

Dean said that the actors really helped shaped it all (the show) because they had lots of great ideas (like Lindy’s idea of having Cassandra smitten with Jenkins)

John was asked if Ezekiel kept any of the werewolf’s traits and he said that even though the “fetch the ball” scene with Christian at the end of the episode was hilarious, no, he’s just himself, “Ezekiel’s superpower is that he doesn’t know what he’s doing”

Here an alarm went off and, hilariously, it was the sound guy’s alarm 

Here came Lindy “on screen”

MY SHIPPER SISTER WAS MENTIONED: they asked a @jenksel ‘s question (I’m so proud??) where she asked if Casskins was going anywhere and Lindy was all “Listen here, I AM THIS SHIP’S CAPTAIN AND IMMA GO DOWN WITH IT!” so she certainly hopes so, she loves the idea that the thing keeping them (Cassandra and Jenkins) apart was their mortality/immortality and when Jenkins became mortal “it was... maybe maybe maybe!” and Dean and John echoed her “Maybe maybe maybe” and she concluded with: “I would be interested!”

Question: “We know Flynn has a special bond with Excalibur, what would your character choose?” (As something to bond with) And both Lindy and Dean had to suggest Stumpy to John, and Lindy said that Cassandra bonded with no objects, but with her power.

Lindy started making fun of Dean for his ear piece

Q: “In an hypothetical s5, would Cassandra and Jenkins remember the stuff from s4 that was erased when they went back and flipped it?” Because, Dean explains, we know that Flynn remembers and we think that Baird remembers. Lindy said that Cassandra and Jenkins’ relationship is so special that maybe it was imprinted on their hearts ”If I can be super romantic about the entire thing, and I think that kind of thing never goes away, and so maybe, if the details of it had gotten away, they still would have had a sense of that” (n.d.a. Lindy is our ship’s captain through and through, gotta love her)

Q: John and Lindy, what was you fave scene together? They both went “The Minotaur scene” when they are inside the Labyrinth (n.d.a. I’m not crying, go away), John said that it was beautiful because up until this point we see Ezekiel not caring for anyone but himself, and here and throughout all the seasons we see how he has a soft spot for Cassandra and he opens up to her before, and then to the rest of the team (n.d.a. my Casekiel babiiiies), he loved shooting with Lindy because they felt really at ease with each other; and then the final scene of the Morgan episode where Ezekiel gives her the trophy

Q: What was your (Lindy) fave costume? Lindy loved this question. She loved many of her outfits, creating them as well, but if she has to pick one, it’s the Cindy’s episode costume, where she is really colourful, yellow skirt, striped shirt underneath, a blue vest, an extremely short tie and a lovely big bee brooch on it. She doesn’t know why, but this outfit just makes her happy. 

Dean made fun of Christian before he came on screen “don’t know if you can hear it, but there was the sound of a motorbike and a horse running, so that tells me that Christian Kane is in the house”, Christian acted as if he was winded and didn’t know what was happening (he truly didn’t know it was a Periscope and not a Fb Live)

Q: What was your (Christian) fave myth? Was it in the show or not? Christian loved the Frankenstein thing, he was jealous of John Kim for this, he knows that Flynn has killed Dracula so that’s out of the table, but he would have loved more Frankenstein. 

Question for Christian: Which series required more stunts? Leverage or The Librarians? Leverage. And Dean is still salty about the fact that Christian makes him hire stunts for him and then goes and does the stunts himself.

Question for Christian: did you have to watch The Librarian movies or did you just wing it? He said he was lucky because the role was written with him in mind, so no, he knows what Flynn did in the past, but he didn’t

Q: What was your fave interactions with the fans of the show? Christian likes that both 5yo kids and 100yo watch the show together and can both be fan. For John it was at the DragonCon because two girls went up to them (Christian was with him) dressed as Eve and Cassandra and he was like “I know those outfits”, they (the girls) told them they were Eve and Cassandra (Prince Charming Cassandra and a jumpsuit for Eve) and John couldn’t believe he hadn’t recognised them. For Lindy all the girls who thanked her via Instagram or Twitter for representing them, the “weird ones”, who said that Cassandra really meant something for them and that helped them through a difficult time. Lindy herself said she “was always a weirdo” never fitting anywhere, so it was really special, “for all of you ladies out there, hiiiiii” and waved. 

Question for Christian: how did the character of Jacob help you evolve as an actor? He said that he was really lucky to work with amazing people (said all the cast’s names, but paused before John Kim’s name lol), and he said that Jacob was smarter than him, so he kinda had to get smarter.

Q: how was it to work with Rachel Nichols? They all said she was really nice.

Q: what was the funniest behind the scenes moment? They couldn’t really pick one, they loved playing UNO together, but turns out they gave a nickname to John Kim at 2 a.m. because John Kim is a really common name for korean actors and... they brainstormed. Lindy, laughing, said “and then he said he wanted a traditional Australian name!” and... they came up with Koala Newton John. They all agreed it would have been a hit

Q: would you (Dean) have liked to have an episode with all the villains together? Yes, Dean would have loved it, mainly because they all like the actors who played them, Christian was like “yeah, man, we can take ‘em, bring ‘em in!” and Dean “We got Baird, we can win anybody”

Rebecca arrived on screen

Question for Rebecca: what was your fave action and fave emotional scene? She loved the bar fight with Christian in the very first episode because they had played brother and sister in a previous show and had a fight together, so she liked that as the action scene. As the emotional scene she said Jenkins’ deathbed was tough, everyone chimed in saying it was so very emotional, but she added the scene in s4 where she is trying to make them remember The Library and she forgets it herself (in the alternate reality).

Q: we want to know everything that happened with those bunk beds from the summer camp episode. They said that there weren’t many funny outtakes, but that Ezekiel was bunking with Jacob and that Cassandra was under Eve’s bed. They had funny pj’s (”sleeping bonnet” for Lindy, alien pj’s for Ezekiel). But, on Rebecca’s Instagram there are pictures of them in bunk beds, it’s from the time loop episode. They said that maybe they liked bunk beds so much that they (the characters) sleep in bunk beds in The Library. 

Dean said that the location for the time loop episode is an actual prison, never used before, but still a prison.  John then said that, talking about emotional scenes, the one where Eve tells Ezekiel the WW2 story was really emotional, he didn’t want to know the story ‘till their close up and it worked well because he was genuinely tearing up when Rebecca/Eve told him for the first time during the shoot.

Question for Rebecca: fave memory from working on the show? Probably The Silver Screen episode because she likes that it’s not, as usual, Flynn explaining things to Eve, it’s Eve who knows this world and explains it to him. And then the fact that they (Rebecca and Noah) were really beautifully dressed as noir movies want and they (Lindy, Christian and John) showed up dressed up as anything but. They started laughing, John’s fond memories of Jab Jab, Christian was really embarassed because of his cowboy outfit so out of context with their beautiful world. Then everyone laughed because Dean brought up Christian’s yodeling in that episode. 

Q: what was something you wanted to see your character doing/going that we didn’t get to do in s5?  John likes that he (Ezekiel) was almost at the point of being responsible and he would have liked to shoot that.  Lindy would have liked to know more about her past, her parents etc. She has so many ideas because we only got a glimpse of her goth phase in high school, she would have loved to have a particular actress as her mother (n.d.a. sorry guys, I didn’t catch her name, did you?) because she thinks she could portay the same energy Cassandra has, and Christian said he actually often visualise the same actress as his mother and thinks she’d be perfect.  Rebecca would have loved to see an immortal Eve. Christian said that Jacob has found his family in s3, so he thinks he just wants to be like Eve, not in any romantic way, but he wants her to have to focus only on protecting Cassandra and Ezekiel, he wants to be able to fight at the same level, he wants to be great in a fight. 

Dean reveals (to them as well) that he knew what the opening scene of s5 would have been: right back in the middle of the Tethering Ceremony with Nicole barging in and yelling “Stop! If you tether the world ends!” and end of teaser. He knows nothing after that, but he wanted to “screw everything up”

Q: if you had to do a body swapping episode, who would you like your character to body swap with?  John, without a second of hesitation: “Baird.” And then “Aaaaaah, to kiss Noah Wyle” and everyone started laughing. Because he likes the idea of changing the Librarian-Guardian thing. Rebecca agrees that watching her as Ezekiel would have been fun. Lindy to Christian “Does that leave you and me?”  Christian would be ecstatic to play Cassandra, he thinks he’d be great with his hands (for the visions), “I think I’d be fabolous!” and Lindy said she’s be impressive as Jacob because no one expects her to be able to fight, but she actually, in real life, is, Christian knows this and was “yes, she can throw a punch, I believe she knocked me back 3 feet”

Q: in tribute to John Larroquette who’s not here, your fave scene with John Larroquette. Lindy made a whining pained sound (she can’t choose one, “All of them!”). Dean: I think as a group, you all agree on his death scene.  Everyone: yes. Dean: that was a rip-your-heart-out scene. But what about your one on one scene? Christian: the episode where Jenkins and Jacob had the talk after the stuff with Jake’s father. Christian went up to John (Larroquette) and told him, before they even knew about that episode, “<You have to understand something, man, you’re going to be my dad in this>, and I told John that, and you (Dean) before that episode with my dad, <I’m looking at you because I have nothing, you know what I mean? I don’t trust this guys (points at the others), so you- you’re the guy>” and it went exactly as he imagined it, and said that just getting to have a cup of coffe in the morning with John is amazing. Lindy: it was the entire episode she directed (Some Dude Named Jeff) because she says that what he gave her during that episode is so incredible. Her fave scene between him and Cassandra is “the vampire episode”. Christian: “At the very end?” Lindy: “No, no, at the beginning! Where she confesses her undying love to Jenkins! And asks him out on a date! And I just remember John (Larroquette) being so awkard about this and was like (tries to deepen her voice to speak like John) <Ooooh, nooo, I don’t think you would ever ask me out on a date!> and I was like, <Listen John, don’t tell me what I wouldn’t do>” and everyone laughs. She said that she likes their fight over mortality and immortality (same episode) and “he’s just a dream to work with” and stares dreamily into the void.  John Kim says it’s when Ezekiel confronts Jenkins when he’s going away in the Apple of Discord. Dean said that his fave scene between John Larroquette and Rebecca was in the second episode, under the bridge, when he gives her the pep talk.  Rebecca agrees, but also like the scene just before his death, when Eve has brought them all back and “he was there and gave me the biggest hug in the world”

Christian: “If I can speak for the panel, none of our tears (in the death scene) were acting, I was crying”. Everyone: yes. He (John Larroquette) was powerful.

Question: which episode was the funniest to film? Or which moment?  Rebecca can’t pick, but said that the episode when they know they can work together, the four of them, without Flynn, the fairytale episode, they had lots of fun then, especially at Eve being mad for being a princess. Christian remembers going up to Rebecca: “as someone <that claims to know about stunts> I said <you’re in high heels, be careful with them> and she looked at me and she goes <Christian, there’s nothing I can’t do in high heels>” and everyone started laughing. Christian “and you know what? She’s absolutely right”

Question for John: can you actually pick a lock and have you ever stolen something? Yes, he can actually pick a lock, he learned, he can do it in under a minute. Christian “what did you steal that’s worth the most money?” Lindy at John “Nooooo! Do not admit to that!” Chaos ensued and Dean calmed them: “I’ll answer the question for him” then looks in the camera “A million hearts”. 

Q: if there could only be one Librarian, who would make the best Librarian? Dean is sure this will start a fight. John: Ezekiel Jones. No questions, no hesitation. Everyone laughs. Lindy raises her hand and goes: “Guys, like, who else’s ever read a book? Who else could it be?!”  Christian “I’ll be honest with you: it wouldn’t be Jacob Stone” and “sure as hell wouldn’t be Ezekiel” and “It would have been Cassandra. Because she thinks about things before jumping in and because she has the power of magic” 

Dean thinks Captain Marvel stole the idea from them: the fact that Cassandra has powers, then gets rid of the brain grape and her powers go boom.

Lindy: “I actually think that not one of them can be The Librarian, even Flynn admitted it, after muuuuch discussion, that they are all better together.” Dean: 100% agrees with Lindy

Q: would any of you consider being a librarian as an alternative career?  Rebecca volounteers at her kids’ library Lindy spends lots of time with children literacy causes, she wouldn’t be a librarian, “but the library is my happy place” Christian “I don’t wanna have to do with any card catalogue whatsoever!” (he’d only be a Librarian, capital L).   John: nope, his fondest memory of a library is him behind other children scaring them.

Dean: can any of you actually use the card catalogue? John: NO. Rebecca and Lindy: yes, no problem. Christian: it’s the easiest thing in the world. Then to John “of course you can’t” And Christian Kane is an actual honorary librarian, because he made some publicity for the show and the NY Library gave him an honorary position.

Q: What do you think The Librarians have been doing since the last episode? Christian wants everybody to know that Jacob Stone has perfected and probably marketed his own line of beef jerky - everyone explodes in laughs - which is called Chupacabra. Lindy (n.d.a. who totally wanted to say “Jenkins”) says that Cassandra is probably re-organizing everything in The Library. John thinks Ezekiel is being lazy, sleeping in, getting bald.

Lindy directed an episode, John asked what she did for it and she said she normally just reads the script and thinks what would Cassandra wants, here she had to do it with all of them, mostly Jenkins.  Christian said she was amazing, especially because it was her idea the opening scene (when they come into The Library, it’s shot all in one, no room for error, they are shouting news of the escaped animals at each other)

Dean asked: Did directing changed the way she acts? (Lindy) Not really, just made her want to be better.

Q: if you could use the Magic Door to take you anywhere in the world, where would you go?  Lindy: can we travel in time? Rebecca: No, it’s not a time machine.  Lindy: I kno- Rebecca: Do you even remember the show we were in? The thing escalated when they asked Dean if they could swap the magic doors for a time machine.  Christian: magic door, same day, same time. Go. Lindy: Ok. Becca? Rebecca: ahm.......................... Christian: John Kim? They laugh.  Rebecca: Come back to me! Dean: I’ll tell you where I would go!  Rebecca: ok Dean: I would take all of you and we’d go through the Magic Door and we’d arrive at The Library. Everyone: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwww!

And that’s it. 

Now it’s almost 6 a.m. here and I want the extended episodes of The Librarians. No, I don’t need sleep, someone gives those episodes to me, please
