Hello friend!
I have a question.
With this whole spy universe thing, Pathaan has Deepika, that other guy has Katrina, and Hrithik's character has Tiger Shroff's character? And are most of them romantic pairings? Would that be correct?
(I've only seen Besharam Rang, Jhoome Jo Pathaan, and Jai Jai Shivshankar so my understanding is very much through tumblr osmosis and my own imagination)
Have a most lovely time of day wherever you are <3!
correct! the Hrithik-Tiger pairing is so obvious at this point that it's technically gay canon all by itself as it should be, but each movie has its own couple—Salman-Katrina is on its third run since Tiger 3 is supposed to be releasing soon, so they're very much an established one, while Hrithik and SRK are the newest additions with their respective partners and personally observed bisexual energy *cough*. highly recommend watching War (2019), currently waiting to watch Pathaan, and i may put myself through both Tiger movies just to have as much context as possible for any future cameos in the series.

Rudy's PoV
Rudy had been tip-toeing past the hallway to get a glass of water. And sneak a cookie from the box Brynne kept on display with the note: FOR EVERYONE EXCEPT THE MORONS WHO PRANKED ME. 
The morons who pranked her had been him and Aru so they had been forbidden cookies for an entire month. 
His attention was diverted from the cookies when he spotted Mini's bedroom door open. He peeked in, to see the daughter of death fast asleep with her head resting on her desk, among the heavy medical textbooks, and a single flickering reading lamp. 
He shifted on his feet, deliberating whether to go in or not. If he went in and woke her up, he would start acting awkward around her, (as usual) and the last thing a sleep-deprived person wanted was a guy rambling about the weather to hide his red face and the fact that he liked her. Because he did like her. A lot. But she obviously didn't like him, since she always acted cold towards him. 
Anyway. He decided to wake her up, since studying till midnight obviously wasn't healthy, as much as you wanted to pass your exams with distinction. 
He gently poked her, and she woke with a start. "Wh-what?" she asked, and yawned. "Oh, hey, Rudy. What's the time?" "Um, it's eleven thirty. Why are you still studying?" She ignored him, and quietly swore in Tagalog. "I just wasted an entire hour of studying! What's wrong with me?" she sighed, grabbed a textbook and began highlighting something. He snatched the highlighter from her. "Look, it's not healthy to have a sleeping pattern like this! You're probably gonna ace this exam, so there's no point in jeopardizing your health for medical school!" he said, sounding exasperated. 
She took a deep breath, and replied, "I have to ace this exam. If I don't pass, then my medical career will go down the drain! I can't afford that!" she tried to snatch the highlighter back, but Rudy was much taller than her. 
"Go to sleep." he ordered. She glared at him, and crossed her arms over her chest. "Give. My. Highlighter. Back." she said, tapping her foot. 
"Go. To. Sleep." he repeated, glaring back. "I can't. My sleep schedule's so messed up, it's practically impossible for me to sleep." 
Then, a bright idea hit him. "If you won't go to sleep, then come with me to this coffee cart that I like. It's in the park, so we can sit on a bench and you can clear your mind." 
She hesitated for a few moments, and said, "First of all, would they even be open? Second, you hopped up on caffeine is a nightmare I do not want to witness." Was that a yes or a no? 
"They're open twenty-four seven. And, yes or no?" She raised her eyebrows, and said, "Yeah." 
"Perfect! C'mon!" He grabbed her wrist, and dragged her toward the front door. The penthouse Brynne's uncles had given to her for the Potatoes to live in during their college years was centrally located, with the park right in front. "Don't we need to leave a note or something?" Mini asked, pulling on a sweatshirt over her pajamas.
"They won't worry. Probably." Rudy said, shrugging. 
They had reached the coffee cart, where Jake, the owner, was wiping his worktable. 
"Hey, Rudy." Jake said pleasantly. "The usual?" 
"Uh, yeah, sure, and something with loads of caffeine for her." Rudy said, gazing absently at the cappuccino maker. 
Jake's gaze flicked from Rudy to Mini and back to Rudy. Then, a slow, big smile appeared on his face.
Rudy gave him his best death glare, and the big smile slid off his face, and was replaced by a small smirk. "There ya go. One macchiato for Rudy, and one cappuccino with two extra pumps of coffee for...........What's your name?" "Mini." she replied. "Right, one cappuccino for Mini." 
"Um, there's a bench there." Rudy said, pointing to an olive green bench in the park. "Oh, good, I'm freezing." she said, shuddering. 
And while Rudy was deliberating whether to offer his jacket to her, she had already sat down on the bench. 
He followed suit, and for an awkward moment passed by with Rudy shifting in his seat and wondering which topic he could use to engage conversation with Mini. 
Suddenly, she gasped, and pointed at the stars above them. "Look! It was a shooting star!"
Rudy scanned the heavens, and sure enough, a few more shooting stars flew across the sky. 
"It's so beautiful." she said, still staring at the sky.
Rudy, all awkwardness gone, said, "Yeah. Yeah, it is." 
But he wasn't looking at the night sky. He was looking at her.

VOR: Henry Kissinger
Ugh, HUGELY overrated, Bismark has nothing on him. What, truly are his accomplishments? Oh, rapprochement with China? You mean the country that had just experienced a huge split with the Soviet Union, to the point where they were scared of military conflict, that was simultaneously backing North Vietnam in a war against the US? And so we opened doors to them and gave them literally everything they asked for, hanging Taiwan out to dry, and in return got absolutely nothing; China's aid to North Vietnam actually *increased* the year after? The corpse of a roadkill dog could have done that.
The "cease fire" with North Vietnam? That's just losing with coat of paint to poorly cover the shame! At least he had the self-respect to try to return his Nobel Peace prize. Ho Chi Minh handed him his ass on a platter and somehow that is a win on his ledger.
Accelerating arms sales to the Shah of Iran in order to back separatist fighters in Iraq? Whoops! Wow, that uh, wow what a call there. Really picked the right side.
Coup against Allende in Chile? That went well! Not to mention...he didn't. Chile coup'd Chile, Allende was a complete disaster imploding the country's economy. The Chilean military asked for permission as like a token gesture, we gave them support that didn't matter. Its like taking credit for a sports team win because you bought box seats, except at this game they dropped the opposing team's family out of a helicopter headfirst onto the pitch.
All the SALT treaty stuff started under Johnson, he continued it which is fine but is VORcel stuff. His grand "pivot to Europe" was trying to link trade policy to increases in defense spending from European partners...which didn't happen. They didn't increase them. We gave them trade deals anyway. Its fucking Trump without the memes.
On March 1, 1973, Kissinger stated, "The emigration of Jews from the Soviet Union is not an objective of American foreign policy, and if they put Jews into gas chambers in the Soviet Union, it is not an American concern. Maybe a humanitarian concern.
Awww "I'm such a cool little edgy boy, look at me and my joke about the Holocaust when discussing systemic discrimination against Jews the Soviet Union, surely this will somehow score me Realpolitik points on the Big Board that I can cash in for prize money while shedding America's moral legitimacy because it makes my dick hard."
He is the academic definition of style over substance, snottily walking from fuck-up to disaster to status-quo free ride and putting a pithy quote about The Nature of Power over it to pretend he had any to begin with. Hurry up and die already so I can stop running into you haggling over hostess tips at overpriced Georgetown restaurants.

Can you please write a jungkook ff based on the song ‘renegade’ by Aaryan Shah? And about the reference in the song. The ‘she’ in the song is the oc (the reader, female lead) and the ‘you‘ in the song be the other girls. Sad ending pleaseeeee!
I tried my best :) hope you like it. It was hard to think of a perfect sad ending, i hope this does.
I didn't want to rely on the song too much but instead just get the basic concept.
Tumblr media
Not even the loud music playing or the bright lights flashing, some blue some red, could take jungkook's mind off you.
You're all he's been thinking about, he doesn't like to lose what's his. Even though you decided to leave on your own, he still took that as a loss cause he wasn't able to keep you by him.
You never liked jungkook's lifestyle and you told him this many times. He warned you though, he told you clearly before you got together what type of guy he was. But you thought he'd change because he loved you, atleast that's what he told you.
"You're the only one I like though." He'd tell you when you'd be angry after finding him with some other chick. Though they shouldn't have, those words always seemed to work on you. He knew all the right words to tell you to get you back in his arms and he'd always spit them out quickly like it was practiced. You didn't ponder on those situations for long just wanting to be in his arms again as soon as possible. You were a fool for jungkook.
This time it was different. You were sick and tired of living life like you were a teenager. You were both in your twenties almost nearing your thirties. You didn't want to live a life like this for long, if you were younger maybe you would stay, but you wanna get married, have children. You know that kind life and jungkook didn't look like he was ready for that.
And after figuring out he wouldn't be the one to give that to you, you left. He tried saying those sweet words of his, even though you almost gave in. You didn't, you stood your ground and left him. You were hurting but you had to, jungkook wasn't good for you.
But can you blame him he told you beforehand all that came with being with him, and you still said yes. Foolishly.
Jungkook grunts, not in pleasure but feeling uneasy by the girl bopping her head up and down his crotch. Maybe it's the club couches, he never liked them anyways. He always preferred the couches in the public area rather than the ones in the private rooms, where he spent most of his time when he was in the there.
But the couch has nothing to do with his uneasiness.
The girl continues to bop her head and he grows more frustrated. No one knew how to do it like you.
He takes a sip of his alcohol looking around the room at his high and drunk companions. Nothing seems to take his mind off you. Your thighs that he'd love to grip and kiss on, your lips that would be sealed with his or around his cock. His cock twitches thinking about you but the girl think its cause of her. She stares at jungkook feeling proud of herself but he simply pushes her off him, finally deciding she's not doing much for him.
She looks confused at him and he shoos her away with his hand. He can hear her cursing as she walks away but he couldn't care less. That's all those girls were good for, but ever since you left he couldn't seem to find pleasure in anything. Maybe the photos of you that he'd look at while in bed would help.
For the rest of the night he keeps up his drinking and intake of drugs thinking they'd blur the clear image of you in his mind but they never did only making you clearer and clearer.
He's had bad days but today's been the worst. He can barely sit still. He keeps shifting in his seat visibly uncomfortable. He grunts catching the attention of one of his companions.
"Daddy are you alright? Do you need me to help you." The lady in a tiny silver dress says running her hands across his chest.
"Can you?" He asks looking in her eyes emotionless and tired. He knows there's nothing anyone can do to help him unless they bring you back to him. But he entertains her cause he needs to distract his mind.
She nods but before she can do anything, jungkook hears a voice speak. A voice he's been hearing everyday before bed or in his dreams.
"I see you haven't changed" you say standing in front of him and jungkook takes in all your glory. The tight dress you're wearing showing him all he's been missing.
"Baby" he says standing up and towering over you.
You can smell the toxins on him making you scrunch your nose. He reads your face wondering what you're doing here the girl behind him long gone in his mind.
"I need you talk to you" you look around the room. "In private " you say whilst eyeing the drinks on the table and you shake your head.
"Okay" he says then tells all the people in the room to leave, to your surprise cause you thought you'd just go talk to him outside. When Everyone leaves you take a sit cautiously, worrying you might be sitting on who-knows-what substances. He also takes a seat looking at you.
You decided to sit far from him not wanting any temptations and just get this conversation over with.
"I've missed you" he tries to move closer to you but you stop him with your hand.
"I haven't come here to reconcile." You say bluntly avoiding his very tempting eyes.
"Okay then tell me what you want baby" your heart reacts to the pet name he liked to call you.
You don't know how to say what you want to tell him. It's been a month since you and him have been apart and you've kept this to yourself. You couldn't keep this to yourself for any longer, he deserves to know.
You were happy when you found out but then who realised who it was for. He wasn't the type for this things and you knew that, so his reaction is very crucial. You dont know what he's gonna say but you hope he'll be happy with it cause you've always wanted this with jungkook but he was always the reason why you never did.
"I'm pregnant" you spit out deciding not to overthink it anymore. You can't tell the emotion on his face, so you only wait for his words to tell you what he thinks.
"Huh?"
If you're looking for the next one. Here

Hi there! First, I wanna say I absolutely love your works; they are all great, and I enjoy reading every one of their reactions!
Can I request to see HLC (including professors) react to MC sniffing them (out for many reasons, but mainly they want to remember their smell)? Just genuinely curious about what they would usually smell like :) Thank you! And wish to see more works of yours!
A/N: laughing so hard the whole time writing this 🤣
HLC REACT TO MC SNIFFING THEM
SEBASTIAN SALLOW: Old books and smoke. He smells like a stack of forgotten tomes that were set on fire. He raises an eyebrow and laughs. "You're not going to lick me next, are you?"
OMINIS GAUNT: Clean linens and a touch of mint. "...did you just sniff me?" One would think he'd be used to MC's weird behavior by now. Alas, he is not.
ANNE SALLOW: Wild flowers. She smells like she's been laying out in a meadow in spring. She smells her own robes. "What? Do I smell bad?"
IMELDA REYES: Broom polish and various wood scents. She gives MC a strong side-eye glare. "What are you doing?"
NATSAI ONAI: Incense and fresh cut grass. She gives MC an unsure look but smiles anyway. "You're acting strange. Even by your standards."
GARRETH WEASLEY: He smells like an apothecary shop threw up on him, that also exploded. "What? Do I still smell like burnt rat hair? I thought I got that out."
LEANDER PREWETT: Cheap cologne that screams "try hard", but at the same time isn't overly offensive. He side steps away from MC. "Please, stop that."
AMIT THAKKAR: Parchment and spilled ink. He startles when MC sniffs him and he jumps away like a startled cat. "What was that about?"
EVERETT CLOPTON: Depends on the day. There is no consistency with him. Some days he smells like a pack of dung bombs, others he smells like a summer breeze. He sweats nervously, hoping that MC doesn't smell dung bombs.
POPPY SWEETING: Ever smelled a horse with feathers? That's her. She watches MC curiously. "What are you sniffing around like a niffler for?"
~~~
ELEAZAR FIG: A well kept library. Old leather and parchment. He sniffs MC back. "I'd say we're both due for a wash after all the running around we've been doing."
MATILDA WEASLEY: Orchids, her favorite floral scent. She gives MC an unsure glance. "You could just ask what perfume I use."
CHIYO KOGAWA: Leather and sweat. Even with quidditch canceled, she's always out and about the grounds. "Don't sniff. That's rather rude."
AESOP SHARP: The wizard equivalent of Old Spice and a hint of fire whiskey. He just rolls his eyes. He doesn't get paid enough for this.
ABRAHAM RONEN: Sugar and cinnamon. Always smells like he just came back from Honeydukes. "Oh my, do I smell bad?" He's genuinely concerned and smells his own robes.
MIRABEL GARLICK: A garden. Flowers, soil, pottery; the whole shabang. "I was repotting mandrakes with the third years today. Sorry if I smell a bit ripe." She laughs.
MUDIWA ONAI: Incense and palm oil. She offers MC some incense. "Would you like to burn some for your dorm? You smell like you could use it."
BAI HOWIN: She works in beast pens all day. Enough said. MC doesn't even need to get close to smell her on some days.
DINAH HECAT: Amazingly. Nothing. Her time as an unspeakable has taught her to be undetectable, even by smell. Old habits die hard.
CUTHBERT BINNS: He doesn't so much give off a scent, as he does a cold chill if MC gets too close.
SATYAVATI SHAH: VERY faint smell of cherry blossom. She's very guarded of her personal space, so MC will have a hard time catching it.
PHINEAS NIGELLUS BLACK: Expensive cologne and hair tonic. He steps away from MC. Ew. Students.

High School Teacher AU
So the results from this poll was to do the AU with both my OCs & the 141, but I want to clarify that while I might do Teacher!141 x Reader if asked, this AU is mainly a Kali x Stone AU. The 141 aren't really the main focus (though that's not to say they'll only appear rarely).
Anyways, I wanted to first to an introduction of all of the characters (because I finally named my newest OC). We're going to talk about what class they're teaching, a little bit about them in this AU.
We're going to do this by grades (because some of them are teaching the same subject ((ie history)) but they're different classes). It's important to note that this is a U.S. high school, not a British/UK one. Also, some of them still have their callsigns because those callsigns could easily be written as a nickname they got from students.
Okay now onto the cast:
Peter Williams, Personal Fitness (Grade 9)- Coach Williams is well-loved by the students and is a former Marine. He's not very strict, very much lenient, hence why the freshmen love him. He has a knife scar that goes through his left eyebrow and all the way through his left eye (but didn't blind him). He is known for gushing about his wife and daughters (though some students and faculty believe that Mr. Greene is actually his "wife").
Arun "Hellstorm" Khatri, Environmental Science (Grade 9)- Mr. Kahtri is a former Naval pilot and is known as "Hellstorm" because he once "rained hell" down on a teacher who humiliated a student by making them stand outside the classroom with a sign detailing how they misbehaved. That being said, he is known for looking like he's perpetually bored due to his face usually being neutral and his voice monotone.
Kyle Garrick, Creative Photography 1 (Grades 9-12)- Mr. Garrick is a former SAS soldier who moved from the UK to teach kids how to get into photography. He teaches Creative Photography 1 only because he primarily works with film instead of digital cameras. Students often gush about how he makes them love photography and how his tips help them become better photographers.
John MacTavish, 2D Studio Art 1 & 2 (Grades 9-12)- Mr. MacTavish is a former SAS soldier and he moved from the UK to help American kids either start their artistic career or better improve their artistic skills. He's very out-going and he's a hit amongst the students. Don't tell the administrative faculty, but he often puts on movies for the kids on slow days.
Fariz "Heartthrob" Shah, Nutrition & Wellness (Grades 9-12)- Mr. Shah is a former Marine and he got his nickname due to being very charismatic. He is said to make all of the faculty swoon and even some students (though he stays away from students, even if they're eighteen). He teaches his students the joys of cooking.
Ashok Kumar, Chorus 1, 2, & 3 (Grades 9-12)- Mr. Kumar is a former Marine and he is extremely tall at 6'8". He walks a fine line of being demanding in terms of choir performance while also having days where his classes are just watching movies to relax. He and his senior chorus class go to Disney every year to perform. His choirs have won more trophies than the football team.
John Price, World History (Grade 10)- Mr. Price is a former SAS soldier and he moved to America as a favor to the principal of the high school whom he had fought alongside with. He is considered to be a rather fair teacher, stern but not too strict. He's vying to be the favorite history teacher among the tenth graders, often clashing with Stone/Mr. Mishra who also teaches tenth graders.
Vasanti Singh, IT Systems and Applications (Grade 10)- Ms. Singh is a former information systems technical and she took this teaching job simply because it was easy enough to let her mind rest. She's known to goof around, being a hit among the students and the other faculty members. Most students take her class because they think it'll be easy, oh how wrong they are.
Simon "Ghost" Riley, Weight Training 1, 2, & 3 (Grades 10-12)- Coach Riley is a former SAS soldier and he is known for being a hard-ass. He's really strict and has made kids cry, but he was the best out of all of the potential candidates so he got hired. His nickname is due to him being able to just disappear without anyone noticing. He lowkey has animosity towards Coach Williams because he doesn't understand why Coach Williams is so easygoing with the students. He pushes his students to be the best they can be. He has declined offers to become the new football coach, despite his leadership potentially being the key to improve the football team.
Nathan Greene, AP Pre-Calculus (Grades 10-12)- Dr. Greene is a former Marine and he has a PHD in mathematics. He could be teaching at a college and be a professor, but he loves to help improve younger students' love for mathematics. He is rumored to be Coach Williams' "actual" wife as he once popped his head in the gym and asked "how their girls were doing" while referring to Coach Williams' daughters. He has a son and most faculty members who believe Coach Williams and Dr. Greene are actually married swear up and down they can see similarities in both Dr. Greene's son and Coach Williams.
Vikram "Stone" Mishra, United States History (Grades 10-12)- Mr. Mishra is a former Corpsman and is a complete mystery to most people. He has managed to hide his first name from most faculty members and all of the students, as the scantrons they take in his class only refer to him as "Stone Mishra". No one knows where the nickname comes from, but every adult refers to him as "Stone". Students are in awe of his countless old battle scars, enough so that they take his class despite knowing how strict he is. He is often told to be the strictest teacher on campus.
Ivan Kohli-Petrov, AP English Literature & Composition (Grades 11-12)- Mr. Kohli-Petrov is a former Marine and is a man of few words. Despite being mostly silent, his teaching has helped the school's overall test scores improve with how much he makes his class seem more fun. Most juniors and seniors say he makes reading more fun than their previous English teachers. He's not known for his friendliness, considering the looks he gives whenever someone asks him how the right side of his body got severely burned.

Mc at That Time of the Month
Ominis X MC
One Shot
Summary: it’s shark week for MC and Ominis is there to comfort.
Warnings: none just floof
Tumblr media
“Leander I couldn’t give a flying fuc…”
Professor Shah cuts you off mid sentence as you lay into Leander for breathing too close to you while you try to locate a constellation on a star map hung on the wall.
“Miss MC, I do not appreciate foul language in my class room and will be deducting hearty points from your house. That being said I think you may want to go change your skirt as there is something personal soiling the back of it.” Your cheeks flush with embarrassment you were not supposed to start for another three days yet there it was. Mortified, you pull your cloak back on escaping to your dorm room. As you enter your room you trip over one of Imelda's many brooms scattered across the floor. The room is utterly trashed all thanks to your Scottish roommate who “does not have time for cleanliness” you shed your stained skirt and pull on loose comfortable trousers. Stomach twisting in pain you feel the need to vomit, or scream, or cry, or maybe even all three at once. You are just thankful Sebastian was not there to see your embarrassing miscalculation or even worse Ominis. Searching for your stash of chocolate you always keep on hand you are sorely disappointed to find the box empty. Curses freely roll off your tongue as you try and remember if you ate the last one or if one of your roommates had pilfered your stash while you weren’t looking. Nothing you could do about it now anyways. Grabbing your book you decide to hide in the Undercroft. You weren’t keen on talking to any bunk mates at the moment and the solitude of you and your friend's secret hideout seemed like a welcome retreat. Relieved to find the room empty, you snuggle down into a nest you had made from blankets and pillows with your book; quickly are lost in the adventure. Unaware of the tears rolling down your cheeks you look up as Ominis and Sebastian walk in together laughing. An exasperated huff escapes your lips at the intruders.
“Everything alright MC? Were you crying just now?” Sebastian cranes his head at you.
“What if I was?” You snap shutting your book with a loud “thump”
“Don’t need to be so testy MC! I swear the way you have been acting all day a person would think it was your time of the month or something.” Sebastian snips back in a sulky voice. Before you realize what you are doing your book has left your hand and is flying through the air smacking squarely against the side of Sebastian’s head.
“What if I am?” You feel hot angry tears prick at your eyes, the embarrassment of the whole class seeing your blood stain still fresh in your memory. Sebastian rubs the back of his head as he mumbles,
“Okay, I’m sorry. No need for violence.” Ominis sits down beside your nest handing you your book back as he takes your hand.
“Sebastian, why don’t you go and fetch us something sweet?” Ominis dismisses his friend, who is about to argue he is not a house elf when he sees the sharp glare indicating he best just be on his way. As Sebastian makes his exit Ominis moves behind you starting to rub at your tense shoulders. Closing your eyes you melt into the touch which distracts you from the sharp pains in your abdomen.
“Are you alright? Amit told me about your misfortune in class.” Ominis softly inquires. Willing the floor to open up and swallow you whole you groan in embarrassment,
“Does everyone know?” You half sob.
“No, not even Sebastian knows and I made sure Amit was clear that if I heard this was spreading around the school he would feel the full extent of my wrath.” The blonde pulls you into a hug from behind pressing lips to the back of your head. You chuckle at his protectiveness fully knowing he would make good on that threat. Noticing your wincing from the pain in your stomach Ominis lifts his head slightly.
“Are you alright?”
“Just cramps.” You shrug.
“I am so sorry dearest. Hand me your book and I shall read to you if you would like while you lay down and close your eyes.” Ominis sets the book on the ground next to him, his wand hovering over the page as he reads, his other hand stroking your hair as you lay with your head in his lap. Peacefully you drift asleep to the sound of Ominis gentle reading.
——————————————————
Short and sweet I just want Ominis to read to me while I wrestle my own cramps

Chortle headlines.
Tumblr media
Some of these are interesting. I don't know if it bodes well if Paddy Young is the absolute best rookie comedians in all of Britain, but he definitely had a good show last year (that got streamed on NextUp from Edinburgh). I have trouble believing anyone wrote a show that's better than both Paul Foot's Dissolve and Ahir Shah's Ends, but to be fair, I haven't seen John Kearns' show and he is very fucking good at these things, makes me hope even more that he'll be doing something in Edinburgh while I'm there. Alex Horne got an award for Taskmaster being an outstanding achievement, not quite sure what that means but I think it's accurate. I think if you look up the definition of "breakthrough act" you'll just find a note that says "see Sam Campbell's career throughout 2023", so that couldn't really have gone any other way. I've heard Kiri Pritchard-McLean compere a bunch on NextUp things, she is in fact very good at clubs. I haven't seen any of the other nominees but I'm still sure that James Acaster deserved to win that best tour one. I couldn't stomach the amount of Celebrity Glamour in Joe Lycett's new show but he is a great comedian and he is definitely made to be a TV comedian, which in some ways could be an insult but I really mean it as a compliment, he's great at that, good for him. Munya Chawawa posts highly amusing song parodies on YouTube. Fern Brady's is one of the best comedian books I've read. Three Bean Salad I was unable to get into, but maybe I'll give it another shot sometimes, after I finish with the winners of that radio award, John and Elis - well done to them for getting over ten years and not completely falling apart. I usually find it hard to get into sketch comedy (or anything that isn't straight stand-up) but Lorna Rose Treen made me laugh with character things last summer, so she probably deserves that one.
Those are my unsolicited opinions on that. The existence of Taskmaster is definitely an outstanding achievement for all involved.
Tumblr media
This a special feature that happens every once in a while, called "Chortle publishes the contents of Daniel Kitson's mailing list". I find it gets funnier the less it sounds like Steve Bennett knows about the news items beyond the contents of the mailing list email, and in this case, that is clearly fuck all. But anyway, it's a great show and exciting announcement, anyone who has the opportunity should go see this tour. He said in the email that he might try to get something going in NYC later this year, which would be incredibly logistically difficult for me to get to (8.5-hour drive each way if I can borrow a car from someone, which would be tough, 14 hours on the bus otherwise, I've been told I can't take any more vacation days in 2024 because I used them on the London/Edinburgh trip), but still, I have found myself wondering how I might be able to make that work if he actually announces it.

Fucking hell. I can't believe this. My local comedian Facebook group is going pretty wild in response to this news. That's fucking huge, a massive amount of stuff is centred around this. To be honest I'm still not clear on the scope of this news so I won't go into it too much, I'll just say, fucking hell. Truly shocking. That's like a sport just canceling its national championships halfway through the season.

Excellent. Everyone should read this. His 2023 show (which I think he's still touring) is one of my favourite comedy shows ever. And the one before that, which inspired this book, is also very fucking funny, though not as good as his latest one.
Also, I am up for a trend of one comedian per year writing a book about their relatively recent autism diagnosis. Who do we think it'll be in 2025? I have approximately four to five suggestions.

I promised you some Wolfpack!Hilmes and I'm here to deliver: consider Hilmes, can't decide pre or post coronation, having to deal with rebuilding the country, reforming the court perhaps not from the ground up but something close to it, and...
Well there are some power-hungru folk and imagine that at least some of them are particularly stupid.
Cue Hilmes in the council room (what's it called?) trying not to face-plant directly into the stairs leading up to his seat or even sigh, looking so done because some dumbass is droning on and on about an entirely irrelevant matter (the garden size lord says hello) and he looks at Areyan (because he snatched him up being all “I can't deal with this alone!”) and even the boy looks just about ready to sink into his seat and sulk.
Aka: Shah Hilmes shenanigans in court. He's gonna be so tired.
All I can say is, it's going to be a steep learning curve for him! He's never done this before, and I bet it is exhausting (this is where the value of having good retainers comes in). I can see him losing his patience in situations like this, to be honest, because how is it a priority? Areyan will have to teach him how to be diplomatic where it matters. Anyway this is a great antidote to my WIP!Hilmes who has uhh let's say rather limited thoughts on the specifics of rebuilding the country after he becomes Shah.

hi! i posted this reddit comment a bit ago, as i thought it was a good reading of sojourn's character, and i'm currently on a long amtrak ride so i've been finishing up temi oh's excellent book featuring sojourn. i have thoughts.
let's talk about sojourn, aka vivian chase!
her cybernetic enhancements were initially the result of an autoimmune disease. even mina liao was surprised by how many procedures she'd undergone by the time she's in the CAF, though. (mina is in this book. we'll get there)
she has a twin sister, valentine, and a niece named bonnie!
she absolutely takes on a lot of perfectionist qualities when it comes to the battlefield.
her favorite architecture style is gothic revival (as a historic preservation girlie, i am qualified to call this based)
a bit of speculation, but it seems like she's very good at shah mat, a variation of chess. she played it frequently with her grandfather.
she's not best friends with mina, but the book makes it clear that they work well together within the canadian front of the omnic crisis.
her arms being protheses are the reason why she uses the railgun---no other soldier can handle its recoil.
she jumps four stories off a heron (a flying anti-omnic weapon of sorts) with relatively few ill effects. (i just think that's cool)
viv says fuck the ship of theseus and she's so fuckin real for that.
anyways!
i really enjoyed the book. it gave me a whole new perspective on sojourn. i know the game and the ephemera authored by other people are two different things, but i've integrated crazier things into my worldview. i think the book cements how much she cares about the people she works with and the work she does. looking forward to seeing this theme rear its head in the future!
someone remind me to scream about mina too later because this portrayal of mina was *chef's kiss* temi oh ily and i am deeply interested in reading sci-fi from the perspective of a neuroscience gal!
