Guys I Might Have Three Nickels
I've been watching "Agatha Christie's Marple" for the past few days and it's pretty good! Marple adaptations all tend to have a better caliber of actors than a lot of bog-standard mystery shows (looking at you, "Madame Blanc"), and while Joan Hickson's Marple is right up there with David Suchet's Poirot and Jeremy Brett's Holmes as "literally can never be beaten, these are the best anyone's done it," both Geraldine McEwan and Julia McKenzie do a fantastic job as Miss Marple.
Then I got to "The Secret of Chimneys," Season 5 episode 2
and guys
Guys
So there's a murder of a viscount, like there is, and this detective Finch rolls up and immediately spots Miss Marple (in her NIGHTIE! standing at the window like some kind of hussy, honestly Jane) and doffs his cap to her with that little smile that makes you go, "huh."
At this point I've watched a couple dozen Miss Marple episodes where she goes through detectives like wildfire and this guy's supposed to be a "*guru*" so I'm expecting some battle of the egos or something and like, Stephen Dillane is great! But bleh, I might have to skip this one.
Then my dude asks Miss Marple to SHOW HIM THE BODY, with a pleased little smile at her as she goes "uhhhhhhhh but my knitting?" (He even does that thing where you use someone's honorific and wait for them to give you their name, and that's when I was like "ohhh this bitch knows exactly who she is.") What follows is what I can only describe as a meet-cute in the secret passageway where the viscount was shot (and in fact the body is STILL THERE) and where Miss Marple literally asks the police equivalent of "is there a Mrs Finch" and he looks at her like this:
At which point I'm like "ohhh my dude not only knows who she is, he deliberately came here without a sergeant so he could draft her," and sure enough he just starts...handing her pieces of evidence like "hey babe can you decipher this note for me thanks love you" while Miss Marple is like, "this approval and camaraderie coming from a cop... not sure if want."
Next is a series of romantic strolls through the gardens while they discuss murder, during which Finch reveals his undying love I mean his research into Miss Marple and the "dozen case files" of her previous exploits that he's collected like some deranged fanboy. Miss Marple responds to this by BLUSHING LIKE A SCHOOLGIRL and stammering about how pish tosh it's nothing really, and I couldn't find a gif of it but he's staring at her like this:
Yeah I bet u r tempted
He also makes a half-hearted attempt at negging her "amateur sleuth" status, only to then immediately assure her that he makes like, so much money being a big fancy detective and can keep her in all the yarn and garden seed she could ever desire.
There's also a late-night tryst at the compost pile right after Finch has been (mildly) poisoned and Miss Marple is like "men are so weak" as she roots through the garbage for clues.
Not how he wanted their first date to go D:
The next morning there's another murder which: bummer, but also allows the two of them to read love letters together and for Finch to give Miss Marple the following look as she explains how secret assignations among lovers can "quicken the ardor":
Miss Marple then goes onto solve the murders and btw hands over the priceless diamond that's been literally missing for two literal decades that she found in her spare time. The entire scene features Finch looking at her like this:
After the dust settles, Finch and Miss Marple have a lovely moment where he calls himself "another one of your casualties," then super casually mentions that he's probably going to have to go on assignment to use the diamond in a daring international espionage case and I can't decide if he's asking Miss Marple to go with him or simply trying to show her that he is cool and smart and would make an excellent wife, but either way the episode ends with her turning him down and Jane, we need to talk about your priorities.
Anyway I've already written 2K about the subsequent 10-year epistolary romance these two have following this episode because I make poor choices.
#agatha christie's marple#miss marple#julia mckenzie#stephen dillane#special thanks to introvertedpedant for their exceptional gifs#anyway yeah I fully did the 'haha what if I jokingly shipped them' and then 30 minutes later was like 'oh no'#miss marple rhymes with parple#seriously though what's the explanation for these choice#other than dillane reading through the script and saying to mckenzie#'ok so I'm gonna play him like SO SO down bad for you is that cool'#and mckenzie saying 'you jump I jump jack'

Just a laundry list of stuff from the Terror scripts that doesn’t nearly get as talked about as much as it should and I’m going to make it everyone else’s problem
The way that neptune’s shit in front of hickey is LITERALLY a revenge shit. Puppy knew puppy always knew- but also how neptune is so beautifully and carefully tied into scenes like. The script loved this dog. So fucking much ("we put up with it because the captain loves it" DAMN RIGHT!!!! THATS HIS DOOOOOOG).
As much as I hate these bitches: that extended scene with Sir John and Lady Jane???? Him in bed with the flu and they are literally the picture of casual tenderness and affection and I might never recover from it. He literally asks her to stowaway like I CANNOT with that shit it’s so unbelievably cute. "I'm ill, Jane" will haunt me forever.
Sofia’s “you should marry a pole, not a woman”??? YYYYYYYOWCH
Also the change your jacket before you come down to dinner bit to Francis that was carried over from the book makes me go insane. Yes. Change your whole self to make yourself presentable to good society and then you can be with us. Yeah. Sooo fucking normal (I am yanking that man away from Sofia with my fucking teeth on the scruff of his neck).
Also. The Pelgar Bridgens romance. Is so real. Show gets so subtle with it I read it as a storge kinda bromance first go around but script loved these two guys being in love so much and it was beautiful that it was literally written queer love from the get go. And put up against Hickey and Gibson it’s a stark and beautiful and TRAGIC as fuck contrast. Like show showed it well but the way it was actually written is ascendant to me.
JFJ being at home in combat. Jesus fucking christ. And the crown of thorns. Jesus was a man riddled with scurvy and his name was james fitzjames. also the splinter thing he literally carries the ship with him in the most painful way possible. christ alive.
#I still have to get through terror camp clear but I think I'm going to cry if I read the cairn scene so I've avoided it thus far#but anyway#I've been sitting on these for a while and I just need to talk#also sofia fucking jokerfied me like god damn lady#the terror#the terror scripts#francis crozier#james fitzjames#sofia cracroft#sir john franklin#lady jane franklin#Henry Pelgar#John Bridgens#edward little#neptune#LIKE REALLY!!!!! I do love how this script really loves everybody in it for better or worse#anyways that's all I got for now will report back with more later perhaps

Just took a few hours to watch Kwite's video in response to the (now proven false) allegations against him and I feel sick to my stomach. I mean genuinely nauseous.
#the video has trigger warnings before all the heavier sections#the way he spent the entire first part level voiced reading from his script#then suddenly you could HEAR him struggling through the parts about his issues with intimacy#the fact that this is because he was assaulted HIMSELF????? jesus fucking christ#i hope i can help spread the message around like this ik it's unlikely people who follow me here even KNOW this stuff was going down at all#but fuck man. just. i'm glad i made the right call waiting to comment on this.

Reading the Episode Ten script again, mainly because I had it open the other day to double-check a specific quote, and there are so many wee things that are jumping out at me all over again.
The religious connotations of Goodsir's feet being the only "clean" part of him!
The fact that Crozier manages to signal to Hodgson and Diggle specifically not to eat their own portions of Goodsir while he's eating his!
This little quote:
"Circuits are frying in Crozier's head but he continues to do this unthinkable thing with blind belief in a perfectly-named man called 'Goodsir'".
And finally, something that I'm only now realising I've not thought in depth about before - the fact that Tozer is the only one we see being actively betrayed and bonked on the noggin!
We don't know how the others ended up in chains, in all fairness. We don't know if they were bonked too, if they fought back, or if they went quietly, albeit likely at gunpoint.
The fact that his coercion is the only one shown says something incredible about Tozer's power and about how Hickey views him at that point in time, I think. He's clearly aware, if not outright scared, of what Tozer is capable of, how unpredictable he could be, how rapidly he's coming to his senses and escaping Hickey's control. He's painfully aware of the fact that he can't let that happen, not now.
Like, they could've just held a gun to his face! Lord knows they have enough guns and loyal, desperate men to wield them! But the merest idea that even that wouldn't be enough to coerce him is just making me lose my goddamn mind!
The idea that you could hold a gun to Solomon Tozer's handsome goddamn face at that point and it still wouldn't be enough to get him to do something he doesn't want to do...!
#The Terror#The Terror AMC#S01E10#We Are Gone#Harry Goodsir#Francis Crozier#Solomon Tozer#George Hodgson#John Diggle#I really want to do a read-through of all the scripts again now like I'm doing with the book and show#But I can't imagine AMC would appreciate it lol#I'm also thinking of a quote about Tozer from an earlier script#From his show-down with Little#'He's unafraid - making him frightening'#But I almost feel like it's the opposite in this situation#Tozer is very much afraid but that's what makes him frightening to Hickey who's always relied on Tozer's strength and apparent fearlessness#He's not being what Hickey needs him to be anymore#That's what makes him frightening#That's what makes him a threat that needs bonking#Observations#Random Observations#I swear I'm going to think and be more coherent about all this soon

really can't be overstated just how much the physicality that wolf 359 is written and performed with adds to the feel of it. there is so much written into those scripts that absolutely cannot be represented in an audio-only format, but it's in there and it's performed with those details and that stage direction in mind and so much of it manages to come through. a combination of that and the sound design and the way it uses audio cues like a visual medium might creates something intangibly tangible in the way the characters occupy and interact with and share the space they're in. most visual show ever to be a podcast.
#wolf 359#w359#nothing that hasn't been said before. including by me#but sometimes i start reading through the scripts#and all of the description and detail and physical direction...#i am overcome with a particular kind of love and appreciation#the film & stage background for both the writers and actors is pretty clear like#with acting too i think it's underappreciated how much physicality communicates subconsciously#even when you can't see it#the live show is such a natural extension of all of this too it's one of my favorite things in the world#i don't think they SHOULD do anything else with wolf but i would really love to see the kind of live show they could do#with additional resources

YouTube music how dare you give me this funny fic title idea
Because do you want to know my first thought upon seeing this?
My first thought was about this one tarnma fic I read relatively recently where Pharma proceeded to have the worst sex of his life with Tarn
But also I've just gotta deal you in on how I've been thinking about a branch off situation where Pharma at some point gets so frustrated that he decides "ykw fuck this, fuck it, I'm going to show you how it's really done" and Tarn learns quickly that he may or may not very very like it when the tables turn
#valveplug#mtmte pharma#mtmte tarn#tarnma#i don't usually read much tarnma#but#i do admit i really like flipping the usual script we see with select ships#and i cannot resist putting tarn through a few situations#juuuust a few#:3

date night (kirishima ejirou x gn. reader)
( pov: i write something sweet and mushy and cornier than a farmer's shit for no reason )
Quietly, you crack the door to your room a little. The creak resounds down the dark dorm halls, making you wince on spot. "Don't get caught," you mutter, digging your nails into your palm. "Don't get caught."
You slip through the small, open gap and start running, not sparing a glance behind you. As long as you don't get caught, it'll be worth it.
You and Kirishima will finally have an uninterrupted date.
"The first one was, but the rest sucked."
"So, you gotta boyfriend?"
"Why? You wanna ask me out?"
"Is this a make out movie?" Kirishima whispers, eyebrows raised in mock shock. You shift your position on his shoulder. Smiling, you say, "Wait till the slasher shows up."
He puts his arms round your right arm; you lean into it, sighing contently. Sure, he was almost suffocating you due to his big ass muscles. Sure, you both had already seen this movie. Does that mean this date was a flop?
Nope. You take another sip of soda, stifling a laugh. Kirishima slowly blinks at you, nervously scratching the top of his head. "Am I missing something? Or are you laughing at a gutting?"
"Oh, it's just that I happen to love you." He grins and holds onto you even tighter, like you're a jewel: hard to find but worth it.
"Well," he draws out the pronunciation, "I got somethin' to say!" He abruptly gets up, leaving you falling against his bed pillows, amused.
"Yeah?" He nods excitedly, fists held out in front of him, shoulders tense. You can't begin to understand what he's alluding too, but you sit up. He opens his mouth to speak but –
Quiet snickers arise from Kirishima's closet. "Shut your laughin' ass up, Kaminari!"
"Bro's about to say something mushy and romantic, it's either I laugh or cry!"
You collapse face first back onto the the bed, shouting cuss words into the mattress. The noises from the closet quickly shut up. Kirishima softly rubs the small of your back. "I'm so sorry. I told them that it wasn't cool and they said they'd stop but..." His voice cracks a little.
You roll over. You reach up and cup his cheek, gently stroking the spot with your thumb. You attempt a small smile to cheer him up. His friend group had tagged along as three third wheels for awhile. At first, it was amusing, even fun.
But, it gotta annoying (hella) fast. Tonight was supposed to be a private date, and well ... it wasn't anymore. A deep, lingering sigh escapes your throat.
Kirishima hangs his head in shame. "I thought tonight would be just us. I had a big surprise." He leans in and your foreheads are touching, the warmth between the two of you shared in silence. It turns into a hug, and it's only then that you hear the closet door open.
You catch a glimpse of the three goon hero students exiting the room with remorseful eyes glancing back at you. You nod briefly in their direction before meeting Kirishima's eyes again.
You lift up his chin and unwrap his arms from around you. "Go ahead ahead and tell me your surprise," you softly whisper. His familiar grin slowly returns to his face.
"Right." He takes a step back while holding your hand. He gives it a squeeze and then lets go. "I wanted it to be just us tonight because," He gets down on one knee. "I got something important to ask."
You cover your mouth in disbelief. Blood rushes to your face making you feel warm all of a sudden. You take a seat back on the bed. He scratches his neck, sudden self consciousness affecting his voice.
"We're about to graduate, but I know I don't wanna be out there without you, so, uh, will you," He anxiously digs around in his pocket. You rub your arms with sweaty palms. Can't he just get to the part where you say yes? He pulls out a black, velvet-coated box and opens it.
"Marry me?"

now that we’re on the topic i would fucking love to read through the sheet music for nerdy prudes must die… not even to play or try and put on my own performance but just so i could read it and follow along with the show to try and work out all the harmonies
#this is a complete hypothetical#i get why it’s not available ofc and why thats not something you can access or even something theyd want to try and market or sell#but in the way of like.#imagine i could check it out of a library and just have one or two watch throughs of the show with it in front of me#and finally FINALLY pick out all the different notes im hearing clearly so it all clicks together in my brain#i dont even really do that much music anymore so my sheet reading skills are probably out the window#regardless imagine how fun that would be to just peruse the score while you listen to the songs#would heal something in me i think#i dont want/need to own it and certainly wouldnt want it for like putting on my own show or reproducing it or anything like that#i just think it would be fun to flip through like a magazine like a coffee table book like a film script#anyway you should all totally buy the bonus content and digital download of npmd if you havent already it is 100% worth it#im having the time of my life#TEAM STARKID I LOVE YOUUUUUUU#npmd#nerdy prudes must die#starkid#tilda rambling

I finally watched the D&D movie and I don’t know if knowing Xenk was originally supposed to be Drizzt benefited me watching it or not lol
Like the movie is good, don’t get me wrong, I like it fine how it is but...knowing as a fan what we got robbed of and seeing the parts of the character where clearly Drizzt was meant to fit *long suffering sigh*
#dungeons and dragons movie#honor among thieves#xenk yendar#the legend of drizzt#drizzt do'urden#me watching people calling Xenk autistic in the tags for all the parts I could 100% see Drizzt being in and reacting the same way#having been yelling that Drizzt is autistic for a long time#flailing hands#like if anyone who hasn't read the books wants to know what Drizzt is like without looking through all the hate?#He's Xenk#you can see they only changed what they had to in the script to make him different#the rest is 100% what Drizzt would be like helping a group of well meaning strangers

Shit Kristoph Gavin Has Canonically Said (Verbatim)
Yes, a test of wits, a silent clash of passions... Only the cards, their backs wreathed in blue flame, know its final outcome.
That is cross-examination. Learn it. Know it. Do it.
Precisely. Cards on the table, cards upon the floor... Each one forming a complete deck. A crime scene painted blue by a sad sweep of cards... It's poetic, really.
Apollo: Because Mr. Wright can't lose!
Kristoph: Ahem. Justice? Maybe you can come up with a more legitimate objection?
It's considered bad form to poke fun at the hard-of- hearing in our society.
If possible... Please... Refrain from embarrassing me.
There's such a thing as thinking aloud too much, too.
It's a simple matter of calculation. Go on, try it. We're not in kindergarten, after all.
Excellent work, Justice. It's almost as though you figured it out by yourself.
Perhaps you ought to explain your point in a way that the judge can comprehend... In other words, use your finger to "point" out your point!
When examining evidence, be sure to view it from all sides and angles. Try using the dials on the evidence viewer. That should give you a better perspective on the case.
Well, time's a wasting. Get to it, Justice.
I believe the judge spoke truthfully earlier. You do make trials... ridiculous, Mr. Wright.
#kristoph gavin#i was gonna go through the entire script#and find all of his funny lines#but there are way too many#god every time i read aa4 the more sure i am that i have kristophs characterization so right in my head
