I've had 2 dreams about this and after the first I was so fuckin certain it was real but after this now latest dream I think they both were dream all along.

But Hazbin had an overwatch collab where a bunch of the hotel members became playable characters, I only remember 3 though but there was like 15.

The biggest deal was that some were reskins and some actually has unique gameplay, which sucked for if, you say, had a fav Hazbin character but they were a reskin of someone you hated

There were 2 Angels, one of his brown version one of his pink. The brown version was a complete reskin of Reaper which I thought sucked cause I really like the brown design over pink so for him to be an ambush character I suck at playing with was a major disappoint :/

The other one I played for a majority of my dream was pink Angel who was like half reskin? He was half Ana and half spiderman w/o the string where he'd swing from objects but also triple jump, he was magnificently fun to play w, and ofc the half Ana was that he just had her ult for some reason xd

The third one that I never played was Alastor, now he apparently was a fully original guy no reskin but he had a *terrible* bug which was if he simply has teammates their ears would rupture because his gun sound effect was SO LOUD you'd hear it fucking everywhere from spawn and loudest if you were next to him, like, say, in combat against the enemy team. It was the only thing any content creators talked about for like a whole day which was laughing so hard at the people who has to endure fellow Alastor teammates try to describe to the enemy team the sounds that Alastor was making.

An example:

"So how was your game? Had fun?"

"I'll tell you my game, my game was just VBRBRBRBRBBERBBEVEVEVEVEVVRRVR"

Most people were furious about being teamed with an Alastor just cause of how fuckin loud he was

All of this latest dream took place in Watchpoint Gibraltar btw

I kinda miss being spiderman Ana though why did I ever think this was real and not a dream v.v

#hazbin hotel #hazbin alastor #hazbin angel dust #overwatch #collab #dream #not to tempt fate or anything #but wouldn't it be really funny if i once dreamt #or whatever the name is lmao #reblogged this post #and then someone from the Seymour server saw it #and then you have the man himself try to replicate the horrendously loud noises that Alastor made #after drafting & forgetting the post for a week the names one time i dreamt let's go #I've already forgotten most of the dream I'm glad i wrote it down #even if it's filled w adhd writing and therefore lots of missing words xddd

Coraleye: See, Grandpa? Here they are! You see that ring? Glo proposed to Coni! He proposed with Grandma Aggy's ring that you passed down to him. Isn't that just so beautiful? Coraleye beams as she proudly flips through each of Coni and Sunglo's holiday-themed engagement photos:

Seymour lovingly gazes at the photos, his trembling hands clinging to Coraleye, her arms wrapped securely around him. While Seymour may not fully grasp the concept behind the holiday-themed attire in the pictures, or the logistics of his grandson's unconventional three-way marriage, his heart overflows with love, unwilling to ever let her go.

Seymour: [Croaking voice] Oh! Ha-ha! How about that... she said "yes"? Coraleye: [Nods enthusiastically] Mm-hmm. She sure did, Grandpa.

Meanwhile, Tycho watches intently, mentally capturing each moment, as the love of his life and his cherished friend and mentor engage in this heartfelt exchange. He understands why Coni rushed to celebrate Winterfest before the elections and why emotions run so tender for him—it's a fleeting moment, and things will never be like this again. Tycho: [Trying to get out of his own head] Hey, Sy— maybe if you're feeling up for it, you can officiate their wedding too? [Swallows hard] Like you did Coraleye's...

Seymour smiles at Tycho and nods in agreement, squeezing Coraleye tightly once again. Coraleye: Love that idea, honey. I'm sure they would too.

Coraleye is just about to suggest Sy blow out his candles on his special zombie birthday cake, when the doorbell rings. Coraleye: Oh! A trick-or-treater! Tyke, do you mind staying with Grandpa while I—

Kirsten: You two go ahead. I've been stuck in the bathroom the past 15 minutes, missed most of the movie, and I want to try to get your Grandpa to catch me up!

Isn't Being A Wicked Woman Much Better? Side Story Chapter 14

- Well, I just had it because it looked good. And he's a celebrity, so I've never met him.

- Really?

-His portrait also roams the streets of Horun district! It's similar to that.

-.....

-You are the most handsome! Seeing you, that guy is a complete seafood man.

- … Yes?

-oh, of course!

- Better than Locke Visconti?

- That's your previous life! Even their faces and voices all look the same, what do they compare?

-different! Here, the eyes and the shape of the lips are better than him.

- I don't know... .

Isidor was about to sting again, so I quickly reached out with his hair to comfort him.

-Ugh. You're like a big dog that doesn't listen.

- You've been stroking my hair while thinking like this.

Still, as if feeling better, he rests his head in my hands. It seemed possible that the souls could come into contact with each other, but it didn't feel like touching the hair, so it was a little awkward.

- Go back and do it.

He seemed to wag his tail like a puppy.

-Your past life was like a ferocious cat. that's interesting.

-It was on the side of the dog, but I was not honest. I regretted it until I died. I couldn't let go of my pride and spit out words that didn't make sense to me. It was a past life filled with regret and longing.

-.....

Now with the conversation it became clear.

As Isidor was dragged into this space, like me, he remembered everything that happened in his previous life.

But just as I was Deborah Seymour and not Nailla, Isidor had not changed otherwise.

-By the way, isn't it blasphemy to do this in a temple?

- Even though the princess is a saint, I can make a rule that allows skinship at this time.

-I don't think I will come to the temple in the future, but why do I have to fight with the Pope and do good things for others... .

-Is that good?

-Look at what's in your favor!

The two of us had a refreshing conversation, holding hands and crossing the campus where cherry blossoms fell like snow.

-The romance of a campus couple is now being realized.

- campus?

- It has a similar meaning to the academy.

-Well. I should have been reborn twice... .

He was truly sorry.

-I just imagined, I think Sir might have lived well here as well. He must have been a really popular senior.

- The princess had a good life too. I grew up beautifully amongst a family that was quarrelsome and grumpy.

As if he had seen the soybean family in his previous life, sadness and fondness rang out from the souls he touched. Full understanding and sympathy were transferred intact.

-and… Thank you so much for persevering in the deep darkness.

It also conveys the sad and painful feelings of watching my soul wandering in the abyss for a long time due to the curse of the devil.

'Is it on purpose? '

Perhaps the thought body wanted to call Isidore here rather than me.

He told me it didn't matter if I was a demon or a demon grandpa, but today I felt understood by him, down to the depths of darkness at the bottom of my soul.

- Isidor, don't be too sad. Actually, I don't really remember what it was like in the abyss, but I'm sure I was fine. I must have been looking forward to seeing you again.

Even when the cold wave came, I knew that flowers would bloom someday. Because he taught me.

- You have flirted with flowers in the past.

- Because you like flowers.

Isidor put the folded lavender in my hand.

Eventually, the paper slowly turned into a circle of light and began to spread, and after a while the world turned white as if in heaven.

- Deborah... .

At that moment, the thoughtful body, who had been quiet the whole time, called me in a very serious voice.

-oh?

- Always keep that in mind. That if there is light, there is shadow.

-After all, it seems that something suspicious has flowed into the temple.

To Isidor's conjecture, the thought body gave a rather abstract answer instead of denying it.

-… Even if you light many candles with one candle, the light of the first candle does not fade.

-.....

- Eternal light will be with you.

After the guy's meaningful remarks, the intense light that surrounded him began to fade, and the presence of the thought body was clearly blurred.

-do not be like this.

I caught him all in a hurry.

- Are you going to disappear like this? Isn't it?

-I am the wish you made. A long-awaited wish has come true, and there is no reason to exist anymore.

Thought body's voice got smaller and smaller, and I screamed louder and louder.

- Still, I don't want to say goodbye like this. Even you don't even have a name yet!

- Build it later.

-...!

- Deborah, actually I wanted to eat a big marshmallow someday. Hot chocolate too.

-.....

-And on a snowy day, I'll make a big snowman... So… .

Thought's voice became less and less audible, it was as if he heard a soft whisper that for some reason we would meet again soon.

And this is a later story, my second child with Isidor enjoyed making a snowman in the winter and eating marshmallows while sipping warm chocolate.

4. What happened in the temple instead (2)

“..Ugh!”

When the white light faded and I opened my eyes, as if nothing had happened, I was standing in front of the sanctuary inside the temple. Holding the white rosary, the gray energy had disappeared.

… However, there were no more intense beatings and reverberations of the soul that I felt whenever I saw an object. The thought body is really trembling.

'really… Will I ever see that guy again?'

“Princess! What's going on!?”

“Lady?”

There was no time to be immersed in regret, and the surroundings became noisy as if surprised by my sudden action.

Judging by the other people standing over the gates of the sanctuary and wandering around, it seems that the long time spent with thought body was really fleeting here.

I glanced at Isidor, who was clutching my wrist to prevent my soul from being sucked in.

As soon as he let go of his wrist, I quickly slipped the rosary into my dress pocket, hid it, and coughed for nothing.

As he approached the pope with a very gloomy expression on his face, he became serious at the same time.

“Why are you doing this, Lady?”

“I beg the Pope to ask for advice.”

***

After a while, I moved to the area where I had confessions with the Pope.

It was just the two of us to talk.

“What the hell is wrong with you?”

He was restless for fear that there might have been a problem with the holy relics.

“Pope, the sacred energy of the Holy Spirit has become very cloudy due to the cracks in the past. At this rate, even holy water cannot prevent contamination and corrosion.”

“Oh, that can’t be!”

The pope's eyes widened in astonishment.

“But that doesn't mean there isn't a way at all. Today at midnight, when the moon rises, I will have a ceremony to purify the holy things.”

“Oh. If I do the purification ritual, do the holy things come back?!”

“Yes. I don't know exactly how long it will take... .”

The pope seemed to believe my words like crazy.

'Maybe I, surprisingly, have a talent for being a pseudo-teacher?'

“Is there anything else I can help you with? I will support you with everything you need for the purification ceremony, saint.”

“We need a place of divine energy. The previous sanctuary seemed appropriate.”

I said, remembering the statue of the saint of Naila that stood tall in the center of the sanctuary.

“Yes, use whatever you want.”

“and… Corrupted energy may come in during the purification ceremony, so it is better to do the ceremony alone. So, please don't let this spread out as much as possible.”

I silenced my voice and spoke secretly.

Target is 10 likes and i will upload next chapter.

RANK ALL THE STEVE BUSCEMI MOVIES/SHOWS YOU’VE SEEN GO GO GO GO

MJ YOU'RE AN ABSOLUTE GEM. ty for letting me go crazy here.... Side note I've typed this out twice and lost all my work twice. Third times the charm here.

Here's everything I have seen with Steve in it, including minor roles. I am NOT including his appearance in pulp fiction though (even if he was super cute).

THE OFFICIAL SEXYSTEVEBUSCEMI RANKING OF FILMS (that Steve is in) (that I have seen):

Parting Glances (1986): MY FAVORITE MOVIE EVER. my number one. My reason to live. Steve is so fucking cute in this and he also smacks himself in the face with a dildo and says he wishes he was a lesbian. Also this movie makes me cry every. Single. Time.

Fargo (1996): ONE OF MY TOP FIVE MOVIES EVERRRRRR a nearly perfect film in every respect. Steve Buscemi sex scene where you see his butt as well. The "driving in silence" monologue is my favorite bit. And Steve looks so fucking DELICIOUS in this one gdhdjdjd

Reservoir Dogs (1992): would I be a proper trans man without resdogs in the top five?? Tarantino I hate you for putting the n word in here. Steve looks so good it makes my chest hurt.

Ghost World (2001): he looks so fucking hot in this one... Also this movie is just SO. so fuckin good. I adore the bit of behind the scenes trivia about Steve hating Seymour for dating a girl fresh out of high school in the movie, so he'd immediately change clothes after shooting to distance himself from that character. Seymour I would. I would Do Things alright??

The Big Lebowski (1998): WAUGH SO GOOD. Bowling and Steve Buscemi, my two loves.... Seeing him bowl is goofy and I love his fucking haircut in this one I wanna run my hands through his hair!!! The coffee canister scene KILLS me every single time.

Boardwalk Empire (2010-2014): not a movie but I do what I want and he is so fucking sexy in this

Big Fish (2003): this movie was so cute I need to rewatch. Iirc he dances And wears suspenders in this one

Escape From LA (1996): fuck everyone this movie rocks. Steve plays a skunky character and I want to take him home

Monster House (2006): I loved this movie as a kid and YEAH I'm putting it above death of Stalin what about it...

Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead (1995): ok this one probs should be much further down, BUT. The mobster talk is so fucking funny in this AND Steve plays a guy called "Mr. Shh". Like he's shushing you. (wait that's hot....who said that...) Also this one holds a special spot in my heart bc I watched it w my friend Emma in like 2016 and it altered our vocabulary

The Death of Stalin (2017): BALD STEVE BALD STEVE BALD STEVE. kissing his bald head

What do you think about the bits of characterization implying that Seymour thinks Audrey likes abusive guys (the leather jacket scene/"Gee I'd like a harley machine, toolin' around like I was James Dean, makin' all the guys on the corner turn green!"/her choosing Twoey over him in his nightmare in the extended movie version of The Meek Shall Inherit), this stuff drives me insane and I don't ever see anyone talk about it but I think it's really interesting and can be tied into things like his insecurity about his masculinity and the reality of her 50s housewife dream actually being very messed up and conductive to abuse unknown to her and yeah why do I never see anyone talk about this it's so (strange and) interesting

I have never heard this concept before omg.

Seymour definitely tries to "mirror" orin in the sense that he at least wants to look like him.

Audery actually kinda admits to him that she keeps ending up with abusive guys "I'd meet a man and I follow him blindly,he'd snap his fingers,me I'd say sure." Also with in the movie how she excuses orin by saying he makes good money and that he's a Professional.

So I don't know if I agree with Seymour thinks she particularly goes affter abusive guys but I don't disagree either.

But I'm gonna have to flat out respectfully disagree with you about her wanting to be a house wife being messed up.

The second wave of feminism took place in the 1960s which was did critique the idea of women having to belong in the kitchen. But just because a woman wants to be a housewife does that mean she has internalize misogyny?

Let's break down her song somewhere that's green.

"I know Seymour's the greatest

But I'm dating a semi-sadist

So I've got a black eye

And my arm's in a cast."

It's pretty clear what she's saying here,Seymour is the ideal guy for her but she can't really leave orin.

"Still, that Seymour's a cutie

Well, if not, he's got inner beauty

And I dream of a place

Where we could be together at last"

Being a house wife isn't audery trying to confine to social standards it's a place for her and Seymour to get away from there hard lives.

"He rakes and trims the grass

He loves to mow and weed"

Here she talks about how Seymour would Also be doing his fair share,even though it is the more "masculine" chore. But she likes the idea of having a husband who'd just like to do chores and be a good father.

It suddenly Seymour she mentions being raised by a single mother so she probably wants a "normal" adult life and wants to raise children with 2 parents.

Also yes Seymour is definitely concerned about his masculinity. He is a very nerdy guy and allways portrayed as the weak guy.

To get a little off topic but in the cartoon i mentioned there a episode that he's I'm home ec and he gets bullied by paine and his friends for not being manly enough.

He probably feels almost pressured by orin who is this overly masculine guy (which is to compensate for the fact he is a closed gay man but that's not what this posts about) and might think audery won't like a little shrimp like him.

He's also constantly getting picked on and pushed around and mostly by his own creation. I myself do struggle with some toxic masculinity and can sympathize with Seymour being more feminine by the people around him.

So audery "choosing " orin over him 100% makes him feel not manly enough.

Thanks so much for this ask it was great to think of something I've never took into account !

Hi Dr Seymour! I hope you (and smols) are doing well!

Do you remember anything from being a toilet? If so, what was it like?

I hope you have a nice day/night/3:00-AM!

"A-ah I'm not surprised that you were to ask-ibidi about being the S-skibidi Scientist... Admittedly when I was cured it was hazy but I knew I-i've done horrible-bidi things. Now I remember all of it and I regret it all, I was to bluntly put it manipulated into the state of instability and revenge seeking monster that I was, I wish to bring down Gray." Dr. Seymour glances away for a moment before looking back at the Camera, he is fiddling with the edge of the blanket he's under. "Most units have forgiven-ibidi me for what I did while as a Skibidi but at the same time their older members are still on edge with me which is understandable Dopdop... Titan Speaker is still a working progress nee.., they're okay with me being around but they won't let me upgrade him directly. He's going forward with a project that I proposed to him which is a good step for both of us."

I had to translate Percy's ICON Magazine for academic reasons (no really) so I thought I'd post it for people to read since i have it! Now I had to manually type it into google translate so there's plenty of ways it could be flawed but it's coherent and all and that's what matters lol

So here's the google translation, the typed up Italian will be under the cut for those who ya know, can do something with that.

son of art, surrounded by actors and directors since childhood, the young star of Wednesday admits: "I am predestined". And she reveals to Icon what her secret is for being so natural in her interpretations.

I've always wondered: but if I had the chance to have a chat with Percy Hynes White, the very young Canadian actor whose fame exploded after he played the magnetic and intriguing Xavier in the Netflix series Wednesday, would we become friends? I would like it very much. Look at him, Percy: handsome, very elegant, cold, but with a shadow of perpetual triteness in his eyes. He has the bearing of an irresistible cursed hero. I'm not saying we're made for each other, eh, but in my opinion we can become friends. I'm trying.

Shall we start from the beginning? "I grew up among artists. My father and mother are writers and screenwriters. He (Joel Thoomas Hynes, ed.) wrote a series of books, perhaps you've heard of We'll All Be Burnt In Our Beds Some Night, which he won a lot of awards. But then he was an actor on television, in the cinema… my mother on the other hand (Sherry Whit, ed.), wrote the series Pretty Hard Cases and the film Maudie, with Sally Hawkins and Ethan Hawke . So I'm predestined. Since I was little I was surrounded by actors or directors who asked my parents if they could let me act in their films. Not that I'm complaining, but I had no choice!" Ok, but let's make an effort of imagination: what if I had had that choice? What if I could choose what job to do? "I don't know, really. Everything I can think of has something to do with art. Even if I answered you as a carpenter, there would still be something artistic behind it, a research… Maybe sooner or later I'll start writing too, like my parents."

I avoid confiding in Percy that I would always have liked to be a newsagent, because it occurs to me that in Cast No Shadow, one of his very first films, Percy plays the role of a child with a decidedly difficult life and a violent father, played by his real dad, the aforementioned Joel. Now, I don't know, but it seems like a very difficult thing to me…" It was very easy! It's the opposite of what our relationship has always been. My father is a very sweet person, so what we staged it was really a game: a total fiction, but done with extreme naturalness." Perfect, just what I was about to say… But deep down it's true: Naturalness, instinct, seem to me to be the key to his work.

Every time he appears on screen, Percy seems like the right person at the right time. "My characters always have only a few small degrees of separation from how they are in reality. This created some insecurity in me, because I have never played someone totally different from me. Then a friend of mine explained to me how it works. There are two typologies of actors: those who have to distance themselves as much as possible from their reality and those who are chosen specifically to bring a bit of themselves into the characters they play. What I do is immerse myself in the situation presented to me. From there I behave and I talk like I really would if I were that character or if I really lived in that reality. I think that's why I give the impression of being natural in my acting style: it's because ultimately it's me."

Maybe it's what you could call a method, one of those things that only the greatest have inside. "No, I would never dare. For me the greatest of all is Philip Seymour Hoffman. Whatever part he played, even the smallest, he steals scenes from anyone. Watching his films again is a constant surprise, he really could do anything ".

But what if you could choose a film genre or director to work with instead? "In this period I'm collecting a lot of old VHS tapes. I don't know why: I like the texture they have on my TV and I find the idea of having a film in my hand, a physical, tangible medium, not lost somewhere in the cloud, interesting. I'm watching a lot of old horror from the 70s and 80s and I'd like to do something with Sam Raimi or John Carpenter. Something crazy, free, creative." John Carpenter! You see? I told you we were meant to be friends, Percy!

ITALIAN

figlio d'arte, circondato da attori e registi fin da bambino, la giovane star diMercoledì ammette: "sono un predestinato". E svela ad Icon qual è il suo segreto per essere così naturale nelle sue interpretazioni.

Mi sono sempre chiesto: ma se avessi la possibilità di fare due chiacchiere con Percy Hynes White, il giovanissimo attore canadesela cui fama é esplosa dopo che ha interpretato il magnetico e intrigante Xavier nella serie Mercoledì di Netflix, diventeremmo amici? A me piacerebbe iantissimo. Guardalo, il Percy: bello, elegantissimo, algido, ma con un'ombra di perenne tritezza negli occhi. Ha un portamento de eroe maledetto irresistibile. Non dico che siamo fatti l'uno per l'altro, eh, ma secondo me possiamo diventare amici. Io ci provo.

Partiamo dall'inizo? "sono cresciuto in mezzo ad artisti. Mio padre e mia madre sono scrittori e sceneggiatori. Lui (Joel Thoomas Hynes, ndr) ha scritto una serie di libri, forse hai sentito nominare We'll All Be Burnt In Our Beds Some Night, che ha vinto un sacco di premi. Ma poi ha fatto l'attore in televisione, al cinema… mia madre invece (Sherry Whit, ndr), ha scritto la serie Pretty Hard Cases e il film Maudie, con Sally Hawkins e Ethan Hawke. Per cui sono un predestinato. Sin da piccolo ero circondato da attori o registi che chiedevano ai miei se potevano farmi recitare nei loro film. Non che mi lamenti, ma non ho avuto scelta!" Ok, ma facciamo uno sforzo di immaginazione: se l'avessi avuta quella scelta? Se avessi potuto scegliere che lavoro fare? "non lo so, davvero. Tutto quello che riesco a pensare ha in qualche modo a che fare con l'arte. Anche se ti rispondessi il falegname, comunque dietro ci sarebbe un che di artistico, una ricerca… Forse prima o poi mi metterò anche io a scrivere, come i miei".

Evito di confidare a Percy che a me sarebbe sempre piaciuto fare l'edicolante, perché mi viene in mente che in Cast No Shadow, uno dei suoi primissimi film, Percy recita nel ruolo di un bambino con una vita decisamente difficile e un padre violent, interpretato proprio dal suo vero papà, il già citato Joel. Ora, non lo so, ma a me sembra una cosa difficiliss… " E stato facilissimo! È l'opposto di quello che è sempre stato il nostro rapporto. Mio padre è una persona dolcissima, per cui quello che abbiamo messo in scena era proprio un gioco: una finzione totale, ma fatta con estrema naturalezza". Perfetto, proprio quello che stavo per dire… Ma in fondo è vero: La naturalezza, l'istinto, mi sembrano essere la chiave del suo lavoro.

Ogni volta che compare sullo schermo, Percy sembra la persona guista al momento giusto. "I miei personaggi hanno sempre solo qualche piccolo grado di separazione da come sono nella realtà. Questa mi ha creato qualche insicurezza, perché non ho mai interpretato qualcuno totalmente diverso da me. Poi un mio amico mi ha spiegato come funziona. Ci sono due tipologie di attori: quelli che devono allontanarsi il più possibile dalla loro realtà e quelli che invece vengono scelti apposta per portare un po' di loro stessi nei personaggi che interpretano. Quello che faccio io è calarmi nella situazione che mi viene presentata. Da lì mi comporto e parlo come farei davvero se io fossi quel personaggio o se vivessi davvero in quella realtà. Penso sia per quello che do l'imperssione di essere naturale nel mio stile di recitazione: è perché alla fine sono io".

Forse è quello che si potrebbe chiamare un metodo, una di quela cose che hanno dentro solo i più grandi. "No, non mi permetterei mai. Per me il più grande di tutti è Philip Seymour Hoffman. Qualsiasi parte abbia fatto, anche la più piccola, ruba la scene a chiunque. Riguardare i suoi film è una sorpresa continua, poteva fare davvero di tutto".

Ma se invece tu potessi scegliere un genere cinematografico o un regista con cui lavorare? "In questo periodo sto collezionando tantissime vecchie VHS. Non so perché: mi piace la grana che hanno sul mio televisore e trovo interessante l'idea di avere un film in mano, un supporto fisico, tangibile, non disperso da qualche parte nel cloud. Sto guardando un sacco di vecchi horror degli anni 70 e 80 e mi piacerebbe fare qualcosa con Sam Raimi o John Carpenter. Qualcosa di pazzo, libero, creativo". John Carpenter! Vedi? Te l'avevo detto che siamo destinati a essere amici, Percy!

Favorite Final Fantasy Music (FFX)

*an overdrive bar appears and lands in the middle, summoning the number 10*

FFX is by far the coolest setting for any RPG I have ever seen. It is so incredibly unique, I have not seen anything like it. Other cool things about it? It's the first FF that wasn't 100% composed by Uematsu! This is the mainline FF that brings in my man Masashi Hamauzu, who makes a Lot of really good songs here and later. There's also Junya Nakano, but I don't know his work as much cause he's not as much of an FF guy :(

When i was making this list, something I tried to avoid and failed, was exclusively battle themes. But alas, I love the battle themes in this game so much, that they all trump any overworld/event themes in my brain😭. Please give a look at the honorable mentions for some of those that I like (and more battle themes sorry).

5. Blitz Off! Sports are battles, right? A battle between athletes? I think it counts. I also want to say: I hate Blitzball. I do NOT want to be a Blitzball when I grow up. I do however, love this song. This was the only saving grace as I tried and failed (and eventually succeeded) to beat the Luca Goers so the Aurochs could get the trophy. It's a bop, I love the boops throughout the song cause it's like little waterdrops (water sphere), not to mention the fucking BASS on this shit. It's got a fun melody, and a lot of neat instruments (like the whole game has but I feel like I've made this point with every game since VII LMAO). I love how this song goes absolutely ham, and then Right before the loop, it gives you a little bit of a quieter droning jam.

4. Fight With Seymour First of all: Fuck Seymour. This stupid blue spiky hair having ass with his dumb eyebrows and his 20 boss fights and his "ohhhhh yuna ahhhhhhhh blehhhhh" (I love Seymour and by that I mean I love to hate him he's perfect). I had heard this song before playing X and I was so excited to hear it, only to discover THAT IT ONLY PLAYS IN THE FINAL FIGHT AGAINST HIM WHICH WASN'T EVEN THE HARDEST ONE (my hope absolutely did end there). ANYWAYS. His song fucks. This song is like the One Winged Angel of FFX, because it feels like a bunch of mini compositions were made first, and then they were all put together somehow masterfully. Every instrument is super cool sounding, and this song proves that the Trash Can Lid is the greatest cymbal you could ever ask for. The keyboard goes ham the entire way through, and I feel like I'm dancing at the club (this would be if I did hypothetically dance and also go to clubs).

3. Battle Theme Remember last list when I said it was a while before I used a normal battle theme? Isn't it awesome how I'm immediately breaking that pause even further? I feel like I'm going to keep saying this, but this song is a bop!!!! All of these songs are bops. I remember initially not really feeling the MIDI ass opening, but it has absolutely grown on me over time and now it's just iconic to me. I love when after the song takes a bit to get going, the melody gets louder with a bit of a synth organ backing it, not to mention when it slows down a bit (not like, tempo wise, but in instrumentation). For some reason, that section is in my brain is attached to switching out party members (my favorite mechanic of battle), so Auron saying "Let's go." is basically an extra bit of the song to me XD. Shoutouts to synthesizers and MIDI trumpets, we absolutely love you.

2. Otherworld This is just... a song. It's a straight up metal song in my Final Fantasy, something that I would hear on the radio growing up (not actually but can you imagine??). Hearing this towards the beginning of the game was already super cool, with the Blitzball match and seeing Auron look over the city (so cool....), but then you also have it as the final boss theme????? (I know it's not the final boss but like he's BASICALLY the final boss) That's even cooler. Catch me headbanging and singing along whenever it pops up. I love the guitar shredding, and the part of the lyrics where it backs off of the super deep growl to give a sort of spoken word section that sounds like it's coming through a radio.

1. A Contest of Aeons So far, this list has mainly been "this song is on here because it is a banger" and less emotional importance, which is strange, especially after the last list. A Contest of Aeons fulfills that requirement, at long last. This song takes the main prayer song/Hymn of the Fayth, and turns it into something worthy of being a grand finale. It also plays during one of the absolute coolest boss fights ever; all of your summons/aeons sacrificing themselves so you can finally break the endless cycle the world suffers, but it also hurts so much because they have carried you through the entire game and now they have to fall to your hand. I love the constant orchestra in the back, giving the song a tense, urgent feeling. My absolute favorite part is when the choir continues to raise with the addition of the tambourine, not to mention the part right after where it sounds like pyreflies are dancing around you.

Honorable mentions go to: Prelude, Movement in Green, Mi'ihen Highroad, Assault, A Fleeting Dream, and Challenge.

I finished playing Final Fantasy X (again)

October 22, 2023

Game: Final Fantasy X HD Remaster First Time/Replaying: Replaying Game Time: 40 hours Console: Nintendo Switch Started: December 5, 2022 Finished: October 21, 2023

I finished this game last year in February, but some time in December I got an itch to play it again. At the time of my initial replay, I didn't have a TV so I played the entire thing on my tiny Switch screen. Now that I had somewhere to dock the Switch to, I wanted to re-experience the story again on a big TV!

So yes, I started Final Fantasy X back in December 2022 and it's taken me almost a year to finish it. In my defense, I have been playing a lot of other games! FFX was sort of just a back-burner, in-between-playthroughs type of game.

However, a few days ago I picked it up and could not put it down. Once you get past a particular area (that blasts an annoying announcement on-repeat the ENTIRE time), the game is very fun and picks up speed as the story unravels. I also decided I wasn't going to "do everything" which threw out a lot of that anxiety.

I have a PS4 now, so I thought, "If I'm going to 'do everything' I might as well go for a Platinum trophy!" I'm glad the Switch doesn't have a trophy system because it lets you enjoy the games without worrying about marking tasks off a list, but with how annoying FFX's side-quests are, if you're going to put yourself through that pain, you might as well get some sort of accolade!

I have no idea when I will start my Platinum attempt, but I really would like to try one day. I've played this game SO many times sinc eI was a kid - why not? People on Instagram telling me I should go for an easier Platinum trophy not only annoys me, but also makes me want to do it even more.

SPOILERS START HERE

Anyways, the endgame of this playthrough was really exciting! I told myself I wouldn't be getting an extra aeons or any of the ultimate weapons, so it was nice just walking around, leveling up, and going into boss fight after boss fight.

Normally, I would have Yuna's ultimate weapon and her Break Damage Limit would save the day! But this time I didn't have that and I relied HEAVILY on Bahamut to save our skins.

Seymour #2 took me two attempts, the Zanarkand Guardian was one attempt, the Zanarkand Trials Glyph Monster Dude took me 3 or 4 tries, Yunalesca was one attempt (!), Seymour #3 was one attempt (!!), and Braska's Final Aeon was ALSO one attempt (!!!).

I was surprised I was able to do do the final leg of the endgame in one attempt without dying. Not to mention, whie fighting Braska's Final Aeon, he petrified Wakka and that man disappeared! I was tempted to restart the game but then I thought, "It's not like I'm getting any EXP from this fight!" So I BEAT THE GAME WITH TWO CHARACTERS ONLY. At one point, Lulu and Yuna had less than 200 HP and I was freaking out!

What saving me was summoning Bahamut once, getting LUCKY AF that he didn't die, dismissing him, then using Yuna's overdrive to summon him again. I also used Auron to zombie Jecht and that helped for awhile, and I used Tidus's talk command once and that 100% saved Lulu and Yuna from dying. *THANK GOD*

Here are my final stats:

While I was more critical of the game this time around (more on that in another post), I still enjoyed this game and it will always be special to me! It's interesting though, I used to cry a lot watching the ending of this game, but this time I didn't. It's official - I'm old lol

When you're young, losing the person you "love" seems like the end of the world, but as you get older you learn people come and go. Yuna, you are 17. You will find someone new!!!

I did, however, cry during that one scene watching Yuna's sphere of messages (after beating the Zanarkand guardian boss). IT IS SO SAD!!! 😭 I felt my throat closing up watching that (specifically the Kimahri part). KIMAHRI, YOU'RE THE BEST! I need to write a Kimahri appreciation post.

Take Two with Lizzy Caplan

As actress Lizzy Caplan Zooms from her Los Angeles living room, a massive fiddle-leaf fig tree looms behind her. She takes no credit for its Seymour-like size. "I don't know anything about plants, and we don't even live here half the time," she says giving props to the woman who takes care of such things when Caplan decamps to London for the other half with her husband, British actor Tom Riley, and their toddler, Alfie.

Last year, a few months after Alfie's birth, that schedule was disrupted by a six-month residency in New York while she played the pivotal role of Libby in Fleishman Is in Trouble. After wrapping, Caplan had a few weeks to move the family back to Los Angeles and begin shooting the Paramount+ series Fatal Attraction for the next four months. And aside from coming down with Covid between jobs, she loved every intense minute of it.

"I had Alfie without either of these roles being locked in, and then when he was just a few weeks old I decided to do both of them back to back, which is such a rare occurrence: to know what I'm doing for a full calendar year," she says. "It was a godsend, honestly, to know just where we would be in the world with this new baby. It was a very strange year, and the challenge was everything that I hoped it would be. It's a moment where your identity is in such flux, and you don't know where it's going to land, and for me, figuring out how to be a mother alongside getting to feel creatively fulfilled in the job that I love was incredible."

First came Fleishman. The FX on Hulu limited series from showrunner Taffy Brodesser-Akner, who adapted it from her novel, is ostensibly about Toby Fleishman (Jesse Eisenberg), a put-upon Manhattan doctor whose wife, Rachel (Claire Danes), disappears, leaving him with their two kids and a mountain of questions. He tries to navigate his new normal with help from two college friends, Seth (Adam Brody) and Libby, who also narrates the story.

But as the eight episodes progress, the focus shifts to Rachel and Libby. "What's impressive about it is that it fully works as that fake-out, Upper East Side of New York story on its own," Caplan says. "You think that Libby's telling you a story about her friend going through a divorce, but the reality is, she is facing down her feelings about her own life and middle age and getting older and all of it, and then it makes you cry."

She doesn't usually watch her own work, but in this case, she rewatched it. "I'm in awe of all my castmates," she says, beginning with Eisenberg, with whom she starred in the 2016 film Now You See Me 2. "I give Jesse credit for shouldering it all, only to recede into the background for the quote-unquote 'important' parts. It's an egoless performance, as well as being my favorite performance of his; he's so exceptionally wonderful in it. I'm impressed by Claire, who sat on the sidelines and let everybody think about her [character] in a certain way, only to have this one episode to try to change everybody's minds. That's a scary idea for many actresses: 'You're going to be reviled for six weeks.' Adam Brody played a character that could have been two-dimensional, and he infused it with so much. Everybody showed up trying to make the piece better and nobody was looking out for themselves."

Caplan isn't on social media but became aware of the show's buzz in her own way. "It's been a while since I've done something that got so much feedback from friends and family. And they all felt exactly how Taffy wanted them to feel, every step of the way. What she's done is masterful."

Reached by phone in New York, Brodesser-Akner is equally effusive. "People in my life tell me to shut up about Lizzy Caplan," she says immediately. "I won't stop talking about how wonderful she is. When she is part of your project, she feels so wholly in — intellectually, physically — that she changes the nature of the project. Literally, this was a character based on me, and after day one, it no longer was. It was this wholly new creation."

Caplan was the only actress the first-time showrunner had in mind for the role. "The entire role of Libby is that you never see her coming, and with Lizzy Caplan, you never see her coming." Meanwhile, the actress had written to her friend and Masters of Sex executive producer Sarah Timberman, who was working on Fleishman, to tell her how much she loved the book — and that she wanted to play Libby. When Brodesser-Akner heard that, "I felt like I had manifested it," she says. "She's a very famous person that we all think is our great secret."

Ever since Caplan's first role, at the age of fifteen, in the NBC cult series Freaks and Geeks, her career has had a slow build. She won acclaim as the goth outsider Janis Ian in the hit film Mean Girls, while feeling like a Hollywood outsider in real life. She dyed her hair blonde and sprayed on a tan in an effort to fit in, but it was her 2009 role in Party Down that was the turning point. She shone as the sardonic (brunette) comedian Casey in the Starz series, along with a murderer's row of actors on the rise. But the show couldn't find an audience and was canceled after two seasons — until this year's reboot. (Heartbroken she couldn't join season three, which conflicted with the Fleishman shoot, Caplan did manage a surprise cameo in the finale, and hopes a fourth season will allow her return. Starz has yet to announce a renewal.)

Even with the greater attention (and Emmy nomination) for her turn as Virginia Johnson in Showtime's drama series Masters of Sex (2013–16), she has somehow remained an under-the-radar fan favorite. "It's the best version of doing this," she notes. "It's not toxic, it's very loving and people are very respectful." She adds that with Masters of Sex, "I did get an influx of women of a certain age stopping me on the street to tell me about their sex lives, which I really enjoyed."

When she comes across a project she loves, as with Fleishman, she reaches out to let the creators know. The first season of Hulu's Castle Rock moved her to email cocreator Sam Shaw, a writer on Masters of Sex, to tell him she was a huge fan. "I'll assume that's what led to the next season coming my way." The horror series was populated with characters from Stephen King's oeuvre; for season two she was tapped to play psychopathic nurse Annie Wilkes.

That role was first played to an Oscar win by Kathy Bates in the 1990 film Misery, which almost deterred Caplan. "But since somebody's choosing to believe that I can pull that off, well before I believe that myself, I'll swing the bat." Playing Annie, in turn, gave her the courage to take on the role Glenn Close embodied so memorably in the original Fatal Attraction feature. "Annie Wilkes loomed as large in my brain as Alex Forrest did."

Fatal Attraction showrunner Alexandra Cunningham, who developed the series with Kevin J. Hynes, first met Caplan six years ago. Caplan, a fan of Cunningham's series Dirty John, asked if they could meet up for lunch, which turned into a four-hour chat. "She's genuine and she's smart and she's funny and she's interested and she's lively, and she's got great stories, but she wants to hear your stories, and that really sticks with you," Cunningham says. "When somebody who's really good at acting is also just the greatest hang, I'm immediately like, selfishly, 'I've got to figure out how I can capitalize on this.'"

When Paramount reached out years later with the concept of reimagining Fatal Attraction, Cunningham thought the role of Alex would be perfect for Caplan. "She was always in the back of my mind, but you've got to come correct to Lizzy. It's got to be something that really checks a lot of boxes. This is a person that anybody would kill to work with, even if they don't know how great she is to be around." She had no doubt Caplan could take on the iconic part and make it her own. "The more Lizzy does, the more she can do. I believe nothing more fervently than that."

Updating the 1987 erotic thriller meant reimagining Alex. Despite Close's great efforts to portray her as a deeply complex woman who suffered from mental illness, the film made her much more malevolent; the ending was reshot to suit test audiences' desire for vengeance. Close has been open about her regret with how the role and outcome were changed, and Cunningham was determined to rectify that in the series.

Caplan was fully on board. "We were instantly on the same page about the kind of story we were setting out to tell," Caplan says, adding she still loves the film. But watching it, "I feel an unbelievable amount of compassion for Alex. All of the work Glenn Close did is right there on the screen, and Alex deserved the ending that Glenn Close wanted her to have; it was just a different time."

That compassion informs her performance. "It's not my job description to label somebody evil or crazy. It's my job to figure out how to make this person feel like the decisions she is making are the only sane decisions — that everybody else is crazy." The series reveals a shift not entirely unlike Fleishman's. We initially see the affair and its repercussions from Dan's perspective (as played by Joshua Jackson). As we pivot to Alex's version of events, the reframing is eye-popping.

For all the reassessing, Caplan notes that the film was a wild ride, "So this should also feel fun and scary." And Jackson (The Affair) was the perfect partner. "I adore Josh. I'm so happy that it was him," she says. "Both of us have done shows with a lot of sex and nudity and we know how to navigate that without it being weird, and find the humor, which is everything when you have to shoot scenes like that." Their fight scenes were another story. "I felt far more terrified and vulnerable with those, and they were horrible to shoot, but I always felt really safe with Josh." The two also bonded over being new parents.

Speaking by phone from London, Jackson is heartened to hear of Caplan's trust in him. "We had some deeply uncomfortable days, and to allow yourself as a woman and a stranger to be that vulnerable to a man, and being excellent all the time, I'm just super impressed with her," he says. Those scenes were so painful, he adds, "There were definitely some nights when I went home and it took some time to shake off what we were putting on camera," a feeling exacerbated by being away from his family for the shoot.

Caplan used to have a hard time letting go of her characters, but since having her baby, she says, "It was weirdly easy to slip into that mindset while at work and very easy to slip out of it when we were finished. That made doing Fatal Attraction a very different experience than it would have been had I done it years ago."

She has no projects ahead of her at the moment, beyond flying back to London in a few weeks. "I'm just chillin'."

Brodesser-Akner would be happy to remedy that. "Lizzy told me about having lunch with another producer, and I wanted to throw myself on her like a grenade and say, 'No, stay with me!' I want her to enact everything I write for the rest of my life." Caplan's portrayal of Libby, the apparent supporting role that turns out to be the center of the story, still astonishes her.

"Lizzy figured out how to slow her roll and then pull it out in the end," Brodesser-Akner says. "I've been to a lot of opera, and I have not seen anyone pull off an aria like she did." But that's Caplan's forte — a star in stealth mode.

space girl | Philip J. Fry X Fem!Reader | Futurama

Soooo, I'm literally almost done with Futurama in a little over a week, and I've fallen head over heels for the lovable, stupid goof known as Fry. He's actually really relatable to me. So, have this fanfic I'm writing that's going to go in a big masterlist of oneshots once I get a few fics going.

---

Being frozen in the cryogenics lab after having searched for your missing roommate, you get out of the cryo tube in the year 3002. You had remembered seeing your missing roommate, Fry, in one of the cryopods before you were frozen. Looking in the tube that he was in, you saw no one, meaning Fry was out there somewhere. Now on a mission that you were determined to end, you broke out of the cryogenics lab without your identity and job chip, you set out to find Fry and prove to everyone in the past, and yourself, that he was still alive.

---

PROLOGUE

Two years..had two years really gone by? You were a royal mess, and still no sign of your old roommate. You didn’t know how long you were going to make it without him, he made life fun and interesting. Now with him gone, you did nothing but sleep and work, having dropped out of college as you knew your mental state wasn’t ready to endure hours upon hours of school torment.

Philip J. Fry, while he lacked book smarts, was a nice guy. You two had met back in middle school, or really, his brother introduced you to him. Turns out his brother was trying to hook you two up as a dare, but you both agreed that you were the best of friends after meeting. After high school, you and Fry became roommates, and while Fry worked at Panucci’s Pizza, you went to the local community college, though you did work at the pizza place as well to help with the rent for the apartment.

Though, the year 2000 became the toughest year the two of you had ever faced. That day you had called out sick at Panucci’s and Fry reluctantly went in despite wanting to help you out. Fry told you that after his last delivery, he’d come straight home to make sure you were okay and if you needed anything. He never came back.

That day was hard for you to think about, and still is. However, you were determined he was alive and out there somewhere, and you wouldn’t rest until you brought him back to you and his family. While you barely knew his family, they brought you in and treated you like one of them since they knew his disappearance hit you hard. After that night, you spent hours upon hours searching for Fry with his dog Seymour until Fry’s brother, Yancy made you come home to get ready for work at Panucci’s, or just to sleep and eat. You did that same routine for the next two years, until the end of 2001, right around New Years.

Panucci gave you a late night delivery to take that night, and you had been so busy that day in the store you forgot that this was the second anniversary of Fry’s disappearance. Tired and groggy, you took the delivery on Fry’s old bike to the cryogenics lab. Hopping off the bike and entering the building, you headed up to the top, the pizza box and beer in your hand.

“Hello? Is anyone here? I have a delivery for- oh don’t tell me I fell for what Fry usually does..” You spoke quietly, opening the crumbled piece of paper with the name and address. Sure enough, Shitthead was the name written. You let out a scoff, slamming the pizza and beer down on the table. “Okay, not fucking cool.”

Looking around the lab, your eyes grow wide as you see Fry frozen in one of the tubes. You rush to his tube, trying your hardest to get the tube open. You were so damn determined to see him again, you let your emotions get the best of you as you punched the glass keeping him frozen. Even that didn’t break, but you certainly did. Bawling, you fumbled in your pockets to find your phone, the first thing on your mind was to call Yancy and let him know that you had found his brother.

Your phone fell out of your pocket and in the open cryo tube next to Fry. You went to reach for it, however, you ended up tripping over your own feet and landed in the tube. The door slammed shut, and no matter how much you cried and banged on the glass, it didn’t stop you from being frozen. You knew one thing, no matter what year you landed in, if Fry was still alive, then dammit you were going to find him.

Not sure if you're still answering these type of ask. But do you have any Clifford headcanons? 👉👈

Maybe some about what Clifford and Zee's relationship was like???

my askbox is pretty much always open so people can ask for headcannons anytime! A heads up to longtime Clifford fans I've gotten a general idea of his character through watching episodes/clips from Muppets Tonight, so idk if theres other videos of him

-I did a post a while back with some Clifford headcannons so you can read them here: Palettepainter101 — Got any headcanons for Clifford? (tumblr.com)

-As for him and Zee overall they where a pretty normal, but fashionable, couple. From watching Muppets Tonight Clifford strikes me as the type of guy who is just trying to do his job, get paid, and put food on the table. If he's not dealing with some dumb shit backstage then he will be later. I kind of love him for that, he's just trying to run a show, let the man do his job.

-When they met Zee was just a singer and hadn't started her teaching career just yet. Zee sang at different joints more or less as a very passionate hobby, she was paid well but the gigs where far and few, so she wanted to get a fulltime job to make ends meet. She applies for a job at the Muppets Tonight studios for an actor, with her career as a dancer she was used to a stage and working alongside other muppets was a new change of pace that sounded fun to her. Since Zee was already a singer and proved to already have experience on a stage she got hired relatively quickly

-Zee had always preformed alone, so while it took a bit for her to adjust having acting partners she soon made quick friends with some of the other actors on the show. Being one of the oldest cousins to Zoot she's also naturally the mum friend of their group, so isn't afraid of rolling up her sleeves to get stuff down. Her and Clifford where pretty close by this point, since Zee was good at keeping a level head and people seemed to listen to her Clifford trusted her with a lot of other things he didn't have the time for.

In some bloopers for Muppets Tonight there's this one where Clifford gets into a fight with Johnny and his chimp Sal. I think it'd be funny if Zee see's this going down and naturally goes over to see what's wrong, manages to calm Sal down with nothing more then a few calm words and a smile, and the pair go on their way, before she turns to Clifford and probably asks "You good boss?"

-During the time when the two where starting to crush on each other there was a lot of flirting/playful teasing. Zee and Clifford could match each others energy, and their impeccable fashion tastes, but it took them ages to actually start dating. A lot of people on the show assumed they where dating long before they actually where because the back and fourth flirting game went on forever. The day Clifford actually went to ask Zee out stuff kept getting in his way, in typical, comical muppet fashion. Whenever he got round to talking with Zee something else would pop up, or Pepe and Seymour would interrupt him, then Zee would be called over by somebody else and he'd loose his chance. It wasn't until the end of the day when Clifford flops down in his office chair does Zee pop by with a coffee, probably with a "Sheesh, you look rough creampuff" comment (not unkindly). Clifford sighs, saying something about how the day was so hectic and how he looks like a mess. Zee chuckles, saying that he's still got his looks, and then Clifford asks her out

-The two where already flirty before they began dating, so adding dating to the mix felt totally natural for them. With Zee as his girlfriend Zee helped out a lot more with the operations of running the show, the stuff Clifford often handled alone with occasional help from Pepe and Rizzo. Zee's singing career had been pretty popular, but Muppets Tonight was really when it started to take off. Clifford made space for her to sing songs in-between acts to warm up the audience, and Clifford loves to hear her sing. The two where still very flirty even after dating, and might have snuck in a few make out sessions in Clifford's office during commercial breaks.

I want to say they dated for a handful of years, perhaps the two had started to share their own space (perhaps rumours of the two buying a new place together and settling down, only Zee and Clifford know for sure). But Zee was eventually approached by a business man to give her a brand deal with her singing, only issue is Zee would have to move. Clifford and her had a long talk about it, and at first they tried to make long distance work, but in the end neither wanted to hold the other back and decided to remain friends

hey man, i've been wondering about les paul style pickups i can get to install in my guitar to replicate jonny's smile tone. any ideas that are relatively cheap?

alternatively, how would getting p90s be in comparison to that?

The Gibson Humbucker is probably the most popular and most replicated pickup of all time. Officially, there was just one model from its introduction in 1957 until the 1990s. But Gibson made some tweaks over the decades. Jonny’s Les Paul looks to be from 1977-1978, so it probably has what are known as “T Top” humbuckers.

Jonny playing his late-70s Gibson Les Paul Standard in natural finish, from during the recording of Junun at the Mehrangarh Fort in Rajasthan, India.

Compared to the average late-50s “PAF” pickup, the 70s "T Top" is said to have a slightly more aggressive sound. That said, the difference isn’t dramatic. A T Top still has the warm, rich sound that we associate with a vintage PAF. It’s not like a 70s hot-rodded humbucker, let alone a modern rails humbucker. And it's worth remembering that 50s PAF pickups could themselves vary noticeably in sound due to inconsistent winding.

Jimmy Page’s circa-1959 Les Paul originally had PAF pickups, but, when the bridge pickup malfunctioned on tour in Australia in 1972, he replaced the 50s PAF with a 70s T Top. Page kept the T Top in the guitar for the rest of Led Zeppelin’s career. That should suggest how slight the differences are between the versions.

So if you’re really picky, you could track down a T Top replica or reissue. There are plenty available at nearly every price point. If you’re less picky, grab one of the countless PAF replicas and reissues. If you're on a budget, perhaps consider the the Seymour Duncan '59 (a PAF replica): it's extremely popular, and thus pretty cheap on the used market.

Unless you've got the exact same amplifier as Jonny with a mic in the exact same position on the grill, then I wouldn't worry too much about the subtle differences between various vintage Gibson humbuckers.

For a comparison of P90s and Humbuckers, I’d recommend searching other sites and forums, it’s an extremely well-trodden topic.

Jonny playing his Les Paul during Open The Floadgates on KEXP (youtube). This was from a brief period of a few shows when the pickup selector was taped in the bridge position — presumably the neck pickup had some issue. Jonny can't stick picks into the pickguard of the Les Paul (as he does with his Tele), so he has a Dunlop 5005 pick holder velcro'd to the guitar.
