#NED FROM PUSHING DAISIES

[pushing-daisies-renaissance]

I feel quite genuinely and truly insane about pushing daisies right now. I love it so much, I can express it into words. I’m feral.

#I need to scream it from the rooftops #I need to make a 6 hour long analysis youtube video #I need to make several #pushing daisies #ned the piemaker #Bryan fuller #textpost #mine

[gaygollum]

#im not even kidding im so obsessed w him. he is my silly rabbit he is the love of my life #and its just so sexy that he is Ned the Piemaker while everyone else has their full name #charlotte ‘chuck’ charles emerson cod olive snook. but hes ned the piemaker and young ned #whatever name his father gave him he has distanced himself from entirely. like. AHHHHHHHHH #he literally has abandonment issues and is codependent on chuck and has anxiety. hes everything to me #he even had daddy issues …. woag #mine #WHAT IF I KILLED YOUR DAD WITH POWERS I DIDNT UNDERSTAND AND WE FELL IN LOVE AFTER I RAISED YOU FROM THE DEAD. SHOW OF ALL TIME. #pushing daisies

not a chuck hater but honestly I do think there should have been a longer arc acknowledging she can guilt trip other people and be quite selfish

#like with frescorts! that was so close to getting there!!! I liked it a lot #i just get a little irritated seeing Olive and Ned have to apologise for their flaws #and then Chuck gets to be in the right an ordinate amount of the time #make her flawed and acknowledge it!!! she’s complex she’s messy and she deserves it #let her be a little hater let her be absurdly selfish because that’s a consequence of the isolated life she lived #I feel more drawn to Olive because my god that girl is flawed. rough around the edges. very deranged #and I can see it in Chuck. but they never let it fully blossom #like the thing with her dad! that was insane that was SO selfish and cruel and wrong of her #and the show kind of acknowledges it but not enough #she can come off a little… Annie from Community at Annie’s worst when they don’t let her be an asshole and pay up for it #pushing daisies

NED THE PIEMAKER “Everything we do is a choice. Oatmeal or cereal. Highway or side streets. Kiss her or keep her. We make choices and we live with the consequences. If someone gets hurt along the way we ask for forgiveness. It's the best anyone can do.”

Okay I still don't know what the pocket watches are in Pushing Daisies, but I learned grave robbers who stole bodies for anatomists to dissect were called 'resurrectionists' and um... I feel that's relevant to Ned and his powers.

#it would be a lot easier to steal a body if the body could walk their own self over to the anatomist's house #I'm just saying #and then someone a century later has the artifact and is freaking out that it's cursed #and misidentifies it as an Egyptian artifact #(because all curses come from Egypt because that's where mummies are) #and the dads and Dwight run into the guy during their peace tour in Egypt and ??? #are given the artifact? Steal the artifact? Break the artifact? #idk but somehow Ned has its powers and the pocket watches are relevant #It would also be super interesting if there's supposed to be a 4th watch #Cause we have C initials and D initials with Charles and Dwight #I like the theory that Ned's last name is Baker because that is absolutely something this show would do #So what if there was also an AA watch? #So four watches total #idk idk I'm just spitballing because I researched a random Ben Franklin tumblr post the other day #which led me to the resurrectionists and now I can't stop thinking about how the grave robbers were called that #Pushing Daisies

For those of you who have been round a while you might remember I had a story clear back in 2015/16 about a couple of necromancers named Gidge and Damon (the latter of which is undead). Their story's been through a lot of iterations, including a brief attempt at a webcomic, a complete kind of non-canon backstory short comic, and several other random attempts at storytelling but that is no more! For I am nearly done scripting the complete comic! I have 5/6 chapters completely thumbed and scripted and I'm working on the last chapter, then editing, and then this summer I'm going to try and crank out a backlog of pages! I want to get maybe ~40 pages backlogged before I start posting because I know how time management works and I genuinely can't live with just a 2-3 week backlog. And I think once I get 40 pages I'll be deep enough in the workflow to know what it takes for me. So this may still be a year+ out for release but I'm gonna do it I'm gonna tell their story

#frankly the story is pretty YA level. theres minimal swearing if any and its just a little bloody but not gory #and like reading level and understanding its squarely like high school/YA so like dint expect a groundbreaking story or anything lol #the elevator Two Things pitch is pushing daisies but instead if Ned the oie man its shawn and gus from psych #badger rants #cbtm #if i cared to get into publishing id pitch this as a graphic novel but tbh i want control over my story #and dont care if it gets big or circulated. maybe when its done i can kickstart a bound version of it lol

Oh I learned pushing daisies and Hannibal are on same universe now. Waow. Woah. Mental images this creates...

#maybe hannibal and will got picked by gay cruise ship that found lightkeeper man #this is so fucking funny #emerson would bring hannibal case to them then Ned and chuck wpuld learn some new reletionship lesson #from will and hannibal #amd solve their current reletionship drama #a pushind daisies episode with hannibal atmosphere or a hannibal episode with pushing daisies atmosphere

[genreawareness]

some of the submissions for that poll are so funny. girl how does the MAIN CHARACTER of pushing daisies count as an obscure guy

#i shoulda submitted gentle the-night-you-were-born. #which is still comparatively not that specific of a guy #but its not NED from PUSHING DAISIES #like i havent seen pushing daisies but still!!

I think I speak for a number of people when I say my ideal Steve Rogers is Ned from Pushing Daisies with 15% less anxiety and 5000% additional chaotic rage spliced with a depression-era urban raccoon and whatever queer thing he had going on in Winter Soldier

[pizzaqueen]

This has probably been done or thought of before and apologies if it has! But my brain gave me another idea and I had to share. Basically, this is kind of a Pushing Daisies fusion where Steve has Ned’s powers, but where everything else more or less happens as it does in canon. This is kind of a summary/outline, mostly of the backstory, that somehow ended up over 800 words lmao

Steve spent most of his life thinking of himself as an ordinary guy, in an ordinary town, where only ordinary things happen. If you pressed him for the weirdest thing that ever happened to him, he might have told you about the time he found a dead bird when he was a kid that came back to life when he touched it. As a kid, it seemed like a miracle. When he got older, he knew his mom was right—the bird was just stunned.

So, yeah, ordinary guy, ordinary town. And then it turns out the town is not so ordinary. Steve’s life gets really fucking un-ordinary when he fights a monster from a shadow dimension with Nancy Wheeler and Jonathan Byers. But he’s still ordinary. Yeah, he fought a monster, but that was a blip in an otherwise ordinary life.

And then the monsters come back. That’s when Steve finds out he’s not as ordinary as he thought. When he’s putting the dead demo dog in the Byers’ fridge (sorry, Mrs. Byers) he touches part of it and the thing comes back to life in his arms.

It must have been stunned, like that bird when he was a kid, or just maybe got a second wind because, in the confusion and chaos that ensues, he makes a grab for it, and the thing just falls to the floor. Stone cold dead.

If it wasn’t for Dustin Henderson, that’s exactly what Steve would have thought for the rest of his life. But Dustin saw the whole thing and he decides that Steve is some kind of miracle worker and he wants to experiment.

It takes a lot of convincing, but Steve gives in. He wishes he hadn’t. Because he finds out that, yeah, he can bring things back from the dead, but if they stay alive for more than a minute, something else dies. Something nearby and more or less equal. (So, a bird for a squirrel, a butterfly for a bee.)

And if he touches it a second time? Dead. Again. Forever.

So, Steve swears Dustin to secrecy and vows he’s never ever going to touch a person. If he can bring a bird back to life, but sacrifice a squirrel for it, what happens if it’s a person?

And he keeps the vow, though, thankfully, it’s not a hard vow to keep.

And then Eddie Munson dies.

Steve and Nancy and Robin find Dustin cradling Eddie in his arms and the bottom falls out of Steve’s stomach. The Upside Down starts going crazy and Vecna is still out there and they have to get out. But Dustin has a busted ankle and he won’t leave without Eddie and Nancy and Robin are trying to figure out how to get them all out and Dustin is saying, “Steve, please,” over and over and over.

And Steve tells them all to shut up and they do, surprisingly, staring at him. There’s no time so he tells Nancy and Robin to get Dustin out and they try to protest but he tells them again. Tells them to get as far away from the gate as possible. And, it’s a miracle, but they listen to him.

When they’re gone, Steve waits, and waits a little longer, and then he falls to his knees beside Eddie. There’s no one else in the Upside Down, no one else to be taken by the gift he’s going to give to Eddie, except maybe himself. But it wouldn’t work like that, would it?

He reaches out and he hesitates. What if it does take him? No. No, it wouldn’t.

And he reaches out again, saying “Sorry”, and he touches Eddie. There’s a little spark and Eddie gasps and he reaches for Steve and Steve jerks back. He tells Eddie he’ll explain later but he can’t touch Steve—not even the tiniest touch—and they have to get out. Eddie nods, goes along with it, stumbling to his feet.

They race back to the gate at Eddie’s with everything going crazy around them.

Steve sends Eddie through first and then it’s his turn. He makes it through the gate just in time to see it close up, which is weird, and then the earth shakes and there’s this booming and crashing and then…everything goes quiet. Also weird. But weird is par for the course these days.

Eventually, they make it to the others (who have a lot of questions Steve doesn’t know how to answer yet) and regroup and get cleaned up, preparing for the next fight. But they don’t know, yet, they don’t have to. There won’t be another fight.

Because Steve and Eddie weren’t alone in the Upside Down. Vecna was down there. And Eddie’s been alive again for more than a minute.

(Of course, that’s just the beginning. Eddie may be alive again but he’s a wanted man. As much as it sucks, it might be better for an alive again wanted man to play dead still for a while. So, he hides out at Steve’s grandparents’ cabin, which they conveniently never visit, and tries to figure out how to be alive again when he was barely dead. And he has to figure out how to deal with falling in love with Steve Harrington when he can never touch him.)

This essay, much like its subject, is imbued with the desire to wake the dead. Pushing Daisies, Bryan Fuller’s strange, polychromatic television show about a shy baker whose touch can bring the dead back to life, has been off the air since it was cancelled after its second season in 2009. There have been whispers of revival hopes (both from fans and the cast itself), but still, it remains kind of quiescent in mainstream culture; a series that many loved and seem to remember fondly, but which has not experienced a public afterlife, even despite the increasing notoriety of its lead, Lee Pace. Perhaps this is because it arrived on a streaming platform (HBO Max) only recently; before that, if you wanted to watch Pushing Daisies, you had to hunt down the seasons on DVD, like I did. I don’t know. I do know, though, that we are gathered here today to honor Pushing Daisies, and I hope that when we do, we will reanimate it a bit. Let us pray.

Pushing Daisies might be most memorable for its bright, uncanny visuals—a merry, surreal palette of greens, reds, and yellows that don’t veritably exist in nature. The candy-colors of Pushing Daisies reflect its deep thematic investment in artificiality—on a tonal level, the show concerns simulacra of life, rather than life itself. Its characters cannot truly live the lives they want, and this is rather literal. Ned (Lee Pace) is a gentle, bashful entrepreneur (the proprietor and chef of a pie bakery called “The Pie Hole”) guarding a disquieting secret—he has the ability to bring dead things back to life with only a touch. But if he lets these newly animated entities live for longer than a minute or so, another entity of equal mass must die in its place, to restore the balance of the universe. Touching them a second time will return them to death, permanently—which means that if he wants to reconnect with anyone after they have passed, he only has a solitary minute to do so.
