Obscure British TV show theory: Peter Jakes is a descendant of Thomas Barrow
Tumblr media
Exhibit A: Both have very similar colouring, bone-structure and nicotine addiction can be genetic.  Exhibit B: Both are arseholes with secret softer sides, and both kinder and smarter than they initially let on. Additionally, they’re both very neat - sometimes to the point of vanity - and take pride in their jobs being done well. They also rankle at the idea of people being promoted above them, despite their hard-work. 
Exhibit C: Though Thomas’ sexuality would make it extremely unlikely he’d have any genetic children of his own, he does canonically have a sister. The time difference (1910s - 1960s) suggests this woman would more likely to be Peter’s grandmother, or maybe great-grandmother. Being a maternal descendant also explains the difference in surname. 
Exhibit D: Both of their backstories include period-specific trauma that makes it difficult to trust the people around them. However, when they do learn to trust and love, they do so fiercely and loyally.  Exhibit E: They both end their stories emigrating to America to live happily with their lover. 
Exhibit F: your honour I love them

"average ulaid warrior kills five of the connachta every year" factoid actually just statistical error. average ulaid kills no connachta, because of the curse. cú gheoirg, who guards the fords and kills over 10,000 connachta each day, was an outlier adn should not have been counted

hi more ulster cycle art based on this passage: “From the Monday after the feast of Samain at summer’s end to the Wednesday after the feast of Imbolc at spring’s beginning, Cúchulainn never slept — unless against his spear for an instant after the middle of the day, with head on fist and fist on spear and the spear against his knee” - táin bó cúailnge tr. thomas kinsella

So, is there any chance that one of the things you may put out in the future is an album of the folk songs from the beginning of each episode? Tobias keeps giving such lovely performances.
Oooh, thank you for the ask! We'd planned to release an album of the score but we hadn't actually considered releasing the folk songs, and you're right that Tobias is giving lovely performances. We'll have to discuss this!

Okay maybe the venn diagram between tlt fans and pokemon fans has an intersection point, even if it's small. But I'm sure it exists.
Now the venn diagram between tlt fans who like (or at least find interesting) Jod and company, and the pokemon fans who like pokemon x and y, that's probably two diferent circles.
But just in case there's someone like that other than me I bring to their attention a realization I had the other day when I learnt that in english Proffessor Sycamore has a name. He is called Augustine of all names and I went WHAT wait,,, wAIT
(This probs is going to be a long nonsensical ramble so I'll put it under the cut, there'll be a summary at the end) (Also spoilers for both tlt and pokemon x and y I guess)
So I started conecting dots like haha pokemon x y au where Augustine is,,, well Augustine (Sycamore). Who would John be then who could be Augustine (Sycamore) best friend/ weird whatever they have going on and is also a bad guy or something. WHO I WONDER
Lysandre!!!!!!!! Like I'm looking at this guy's quotes and like bitch!!!!!
"I want to be the kind of person who gives... But in this world, some foolish humans exist who would show their strength by taking what isn't theirs." "They're filth!"
"I tried to save people--and the world--with the profit from this lab. But my efforts had no effect... The world was just too vast...and too full of fools that I couldn't save through my hard work alone..."
HELLO???????
Like obviously they're not the same same, Lysandre is way less complicated bc of the genre of the media and stuff but like. Basically his story is that he wanted to help people with his pokemon but they were ungrateful so he decided to wipe everyone out but the people who were nice. So yeah.
Also this quote Professor Sycamore says about Lysandre
"But what I really wanted was for him to put his ego aside and lead everything to greater heights. I never had this discussion with him, though. So I'm partially responsible for this."
OH BOI YEAH OKAY HM YES I'M FINE AHA
I was like wow okay this kinda makes a lot of sense (and im not even including the stuff of pokemon masters ex). But we are missing Mercy here and that can't be. And okay this may be a bit of a reach but I inmediatly thought of Diantha.
The first time you see her she is talking with Lysandre about mortality and shit. And thinking about it Cytherea fits too with all the themes of beauty and stuff (Diantha is an actress and Lysandre asks her if she wishes she chould stay beautiful forever or something like that) But like her role in the story and stuff, she is friends with both Professor Sycamore and Lysandre, she is also the region champion which is very cool and like they are the three main adults in the game intertwined with the main plot. (Althoug Diantha way less, and she isn't even in the pokemon masters ex storyline I mentioned before which is very sad)
However Diantha is way nicer than Mercy, she is very kind and polite with everyone which Mercy is... not fhdkadf. But she fits still I think.
Also this quote in which she mentions Augustine (Sycamore) that makes me soft bc she calls him dear.
"Then that means that you are also the one that dear Augustine said..."
Also the ship between Professor Sycamore and Lysandre is called perfectworldshipping (pokemon ship names are like that for some godforsaken reason and I hate it but in this case it fits my whatever this is)
TO SUM UP:
- Lysandre= John
- Augustine Sycamore= Augustine
- Diantha= Mercymorn
and I have many feelings about this
Thanks for coming to my ted talk now if you'll excuse me I'm going to look for my copy of pokemon y
