#night and nothing series

[thefiresofpompeii]

the main mistake that people who dislike s8 and put it low in their series rankings make is the belief that, like any other series (apart from s9), it’s a collection of standalone stories tied together by some vague throughline i.e. missy’s ‘heaven’. “oh, this episode’s mid, that episode’s bad” meanwhile it’s not about individual episodes at all. i firmly believe that it should be viewed as a singular long serial.

so grateful that i was extremely late to the party and binged it all in a week instead of watching every episode as they were airing, because sometimes the plots barely matter at all. do you remember what the skovox blitzer actually looks like or what it wanted with coal hill in the first place? hardly. i had to google its name. but what you do remember from the caretaker is twelve acting like an antagonistic prick towards danny, and that’s what matters. almost every villainous entity is some kind of soldier, the contempt twelve shows to everybody but clara becomes the source of their toxicity… in the forest of the night is pretty obviously rubbish scifi, but it demonstrates danny’s fundamental incompatibility with clara, as well as the scene in which clara is ready to sacrifice herself and her students for the doctor’s sake, foreshadowing their reckless, almost suicidal codependency.

point is, but it really does work best as a tightly woven tapestry. sure, some episodes succeed individually, but most of the individual plots are mildly exciting only in a ‘this is fun to watch for kids’ way… UNLESS you approach them from the overarching perspective. i.e. mummy on the orient express has wonderful style, a thrilling mystery, creative concepts and interesting side characters, but its story appeal hinges on the twelveclara failed breakup. listen is frightening enough, but its entire story appeal hinges on just how much clara affects the doctor’s values past and present, and whether or not she has a future with danny (she doesn’t).

what i’m saying is, the narrative in s8 is a non-negotiable package deal. buy one, get them all. and it has no skips. i hate the idiotic pro-life message in kill the moon as much as the next sensible person, but what the episode does well is really hammer home how much of a sanctimonious asshole twelve initially is, which is crucial to his future character evolution.

tldr; the correct way to watch series 8 is all in one go. series 8 is great. more love for series 8

I wonder if this is their age order, from oldest to youngest?

It looks to be that way. (We know it's not the order in which they were taken.)

I literally woke up in the middle of the night like God will dark rise is so fucking screwed. The line that’s like. “Everyone wanted to kill the Dark King.” What’s the part where he looks at Violet helplessly, haunted, almost pleading for mercy? But of course he reveals nothing of substance to anyone. Elizabeth is too young to understand but the reader knows what “Her relationship with that boy was…unnatural” can mean. Tying him to bedposts? Failing to strangle him? What else? Never not even once seeing beyond a mythological identity Will himself didn’t know he had? What did he think was the reason? That he was just intrinsically hateful? Of course he says nothing. Of course Violet can’t trust him- he’s given her nothing as painfully real as what she’s given him. So he gives her the sword hoping at least he can die at the hands of someone he loved, but even that doesn’t work out - she gives the sword to a Visander still furious at SARCEAN. The pattern continues; no one looks at Will, who vomits when he realizes what’s happened to James, Will who is much of a liar and killer and sneak as Elizabeth accuses but nonetheless wants to be different. Even when he doesn’t remember his own past. There’s no way out for him that doesn’t hurt. Hope this obsession passes soon given the one and a half years of waiting required for book 3

#dark rise series #dark heir #rarely does a cliffhanger pain me so much #bc rarely am I ever THAT invested in a plot I am sad to say #nona the ninth was so cathartic in of itself I’m content marinating before alecto #BUT PACAT ONLY EVER GIVES EMOTIONAL CRUMBS #have any of these bitches ever known peace fr #maybe this is what reading princes gambit and not immediately having the follow up might’ve been like #honestly it’s possibly damen and Lauren just generally had less problems tho #more than his relationship even with James. will/Violet is perhaps the genuine source of like. I WISH HED GIVEN HER A REASON. #the narration that describes Violet as Will’s star in the night…….. like fuck fine #will can’t reach any level of genuine intimacy with James bc the mess of fraught noncon dynamics is this massive unspoken horrible thing #wills identity is personal w James in a way it is with no one else but James is so fucking oblivious of undercurrents it comes unbalanced #and will knows it. but (as far as we know) violet isn’t reborn has no history with sarcean the dark king she’s literallt just Some Guy #and that almost makes it worse???????? that they are so loyal to each other even as he’s keeping a massive secret? #they weren’t dated or destined to entangle the way will is w characters like James and Katherine #and I think that makes his rship with Violet possibly the realest and truest experience of trust and love will has ever had #like it’s nothing bro. truly she knows nothing about him other than his lies of omission and her faith in him goodness which may or may not #beiltimately justified. but that was probably as honest and close will ever got to anyone. and him to her.

thinking about writing a third act break up/make up scarian fic rn…… like where they both realise that they miss and love each other at the same time and their respective best friends have to tell the other “he just left to go find you” and when they finally meet back up it’s a passionate kiss and a breathless apology and confession and maybe it’s raining and maybe they don’t care and maybe they’re getting soaked but they’re laughing and they’re together……

#like running through busy streets at night looking around at every face blindly hoping they find one that so achingly familiar… #and then they do… and they pause for a second and time seems to stop but they still see people pass by them; move around them #get annoyed that they’re just standing… but they don’t care because nothing else but the person fifteen feet in front of them matters… #and the clock starts ticking again and they race through the streets… and they don’t go home after that… #they hail a cab and go to a park… or to the river and they look at the city lights #but only in the reflections of each others eyes.. and they’re sitting on a bench when the sun rises and finally… everything is alright #sorry thinking about them so hard #they just mean the world to me #oh also happy new year! #scarian #desert duo #hermitshipping #grian #gtws #hermitcraft #life series #au concept #break up au

OKAY NOT SURE WHY NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT WHEN THEYRE IN THE WATERPARK AND ANNABETH IS LIKE “I’ve never seen a horror movie” (or scary movie whatever she says) AND PERCY IS LIKE OH IF WE DONT DIE LETS GO SEE ONE?!

LIKE SIR D-DID YOU JUST ASK HER OUT?!?!

#is this the movie in the battle of the labrinth?? #the rizz he has at 12 #it’s gonna be a long time before they see that movie #they don’t even see the movie in botl #what scary movie would they watch #I think Percy would take her to like a Tuesday night showing when they do all the old movies #he would have been raised on the classics cause sally darn well raised him right #annabeth would try not to look scared cause she’s a freaking demigod nothing can scare her #but then oop jump scare and she instinctively grabs Percy’s hand #he doesn’t know what to do cause he was expecting it but suddenly she’s squeezing his hand so tight he can’t feel it #the scary part ends and he tells annabeth she can relax it’s over and then she realizes that she was holding his hand that whole time?!?! #they both blush #it’s very cute #percy jackson #annabeth chase #percy series #pjo #percabeth #percy and annabeth #pls send pjo content

book runs based on tv shows are usually mediocre at best, like star trek, torchwood, doctor who, etc etc, but i would give anything to get a book run of the BBC Ghosts hotel i need to know what shenanigans those guys get up to in there

#bbc ghosts #bbc ghosts spoilers #six idiots #i think a hotel would be so fun for them #like enrichment #absolutely nothing that happens in there matters in the slightest but they all care so much about everything so really #the weight of any hypothetical plot does not matter #a short story series for example would be great #give me 5 pages of the captain deriding robin about the mouse family he follows and then stalking off to go watch his ants #give me 20 pages of fanny and julian watching something unsavoury going down in one of the rooms only to discover they were wrong #and actually what's happening is totally innocent #give me 15 pages of julian battling for TV remote control with a guest who can't figure out why the remote is malfunctioning #give me fanny accidentally getting in a teenager's selfie and the teen facetiming with her friends about the haunted room she's stuck in #while her parents are on this dumb golf trip #and kitty is jealous that fanny is getting all the attention because this is supposed to be girls night with the teens she's decided #captain and julian watching golfers out on the green #thomas cooing over a blossoming romance and subsequent breakup like its his new personal soap opera #pat sitting in on games out on the lawn and getting way too into it prompting julian to start making bets with him on lawn darts #fanny snooping in guests' luggage and being scandalized by perfectly normal things she considers risque #give a book deal to ben and larry they'd have a ball with it i just know it

Your essay on Joong's underrated acting skills deepened my Joong appreciation so much, that I watched Mafia the Series, I'm watching Ploy's Yearbook (even though there is a serious lack of Joong so far), and I'm planning on watching The Warp Effect too. I haven't watched het shows in over ten years, so this is a big deal! 😂 I really liked him with Dunk in their shows, but MTS gave me another facet of him, because he's so timid in it, unlike in SIMM and HA, where he's (seemingly) very cool and in control. So thank you for making me a full time Joong (and Dunk) girl 💜

i saw this message first thing in the morning when i woke up yesterday and it instantly put me in a good mood!!! <3

YESSSSSS I'M SO HAPPY TO HEAR THAT

mafia the series might actually be my absolute fave thai het-show, it's just SO funny!!!! and the entire cast is so great, like, not just joong but the entire cast plays off each other SO well. and don't even get me started on gina virahya and her portrayal of anna kondra!!!!

you know, when i went into mafia the series i saw the poster and was like "ughh i really am gonna have to sit through this standard (overly) dramatic mafia show just for joong, huh. the things i do for my boy..." and then. AND THEN. you can imagine my surprise. i was crying tears of laughter throughout the show and i was actually laughing so hard that my mom made a comment about how she could hear my laugh in my room

beam is my loser boy and joong portrays him in such an adorably awkward way, i love it <333

and yes there IS a serious lack of joong in ploy's yearbook so far :((((

it was quite funny tho bc in the one scene where joong does show up i immediately recognized him by the back of his head, like!! i saw this:

and instantly went "OH there's my boy!!!!!" 😂😂😂

and i can't wait to see him with film bc film did extremely well with gun in not me and i feel like film and joong will also work together really well

you know, i'm always happy to turn people into full time joong (and dunk) girls!!!!!!

i've adored them ever since simm which i watched live from ep2 onwards. fun fact, actually: when i started simm i actually had no idea who they were (even though technically i'd seen dunk in bad buddy already, except i wasn't paying attention to the random high school bandmates and so i didn't actually recognize dunk and only realized later on ahahah)

aaaanyway, i had no idea who they were, right? and so in 2022 my mom and i spent two nights in prague during easter and in the evening we were in our hotel room and we were kinda looking for something to watch. and i was like "hey look, gmmtv has a new bl out and it looks kinda cute and fluffy judging by the thumbnails?? and like something that doesn't require too much brain power?? plus, there's also only two eps out so far, so we'll be caught up right away" and so we watched the first two episodes and then the two of us ended up watching every new ep together every week hahaha

i actually didn't really talk about it on tumblr back then and when you go back on my blog you'll see that there are hardly any simm post. but really, with every new simm episode that aired i liked joongdunk more and more. and especially once the characters started dating i was actually so in awe about just how comfortable joong and dunk were with each other and how they absolutely weren't afraid to touch? like, their physical affection was just so casual, like it was the most natural thing in the world to them in an "i'm-not-even-thinking-about-it-bc-it's-so-normal" kind of way and that was just soooo refreshing to watch?? i was (and still am) truly amazed

and when just a couple of months later, at the end of 2022 gmmtv announced joongdunk were gonna get another show together i got SO excited!! and also when it was revealed that simm was included in our skyy 2!!!!

and then hidden agenda started airing and then i was tagged in that tag game and then i went to watch joong's entire filmography and then i ended up falling into a joongdunk rabbit hole and here we are...

anyway, i have multiple agendas and one of them is turning people into joong fans and dunk fans and joongdunk fans sllksdfd

and my other agenda is getting people to watch mafia the series, bc it's truly a gem of a show!!!!

(speaking of agendas: the only thing that's missing in your message is you telling me that you approve of my fight for a sexy joongdunk vampire bl, like... that would have made the message and the influence of my joong/dunk/joongdunk blogging complete 😂😂😂)

#you know when i saw your message first thing in the morning my immediate thought was #''ok nothing that happens today can top this like. my day is ALREADY made and i only just woke up'' #your message set the bar very very high for me tbh #but then in the afternoon my crush unexpectedly called me after we barely talked the past 3 or so months and we spent 1.5h on the phone #and well i'm really sorry but THAT was the actual no.1 highlight of my day yesterday dfjkkjdfkfdg #i swear your message is a close second tho!!! ��😂 #asks #anon #joong archen #adrm #no but every time someone tells me i turned them into a joong fan/dunk fan/joongdunk fan i get such a rush of satisfaction lmao #i'm desperately waiting for summer night #i might just go off about dunk's acting after that #we'll see #bc i REALLY wanna see what dunk can do without joong and if he'll be as good #my money is on ''yes'' but i also don't wanna say anything to avoid eating my own words kdfkdf #but in reality i see many qualities to him as an actor that i think he should be able to do keep even without being opposite joong #besides he's now done two series as a lead character so now he has a lot more acting experience than he did going into simm #his acting was already so much stronger in hidden agenda then it was in simm (hello?? yank-kiss-yeet?? ep9?? ep11??) #and i trust that he's not just gonna lose it all in summer night all of a sudden #god i'm immensely excited to see him act in summer night you don't even know

i'm finally sitting down to watch, Trigun Stamped, and it is a truely breathtaking rendition of what has been a life-long favourite piece of media. i'm only on episode five but i've spent nearly every frame on the edge of tears.

it's a hard watch - like, Violet Evergarden, was for me - but it's already been worth it. before even getting into the plot, the presentation alone is so gorgeous that i get overwhelmed by emotions. just seeing the sad, beautiful boy that i grew up enamoured with, presented in this new way that captures - even more pointedly - the anguish of his smiles~ it absolutely ruins me... i had forgotten how i first fell so desperately in love with the archetype of the "good boy who clings desperately to goodness nomatter the cost to them" and~ ah, there he is. that's right.

it's wild to rediscover the source of such a truely foundational part of yourself. i'm in tears. i'm in tears! hello... there... thank you for being a part of me, good boy who suffers so much...

they've really cut straight to the beating heart of the story and it's both beautiful and crushing. i am truely devistated by it. i can tell it will be worth all the tears~ but it's difficult nevertheless. ahhh~ (= w =) agony, agony, agony, love, and bitterness... *whistful heavy sighing* i am indebted to a blond boy in glasses who never existed, but who exists so much. thank you <3

#pidgy talks #trigun #trigun stampede #vash the stampede #years and years ago #in my childhood home #i painted a mural above my bed of vash and knives and rem #and i used to stare at it at night and think about what was out there in the world i knew nothing about yet #this series is forever tied to the big feelings of a small me

i keep imagining the statehouse as this huge house in the middle of nowhere. the entire property is in the middle of a grassland—yellow-green grass that reaches up to your knees kind of grassland. the plains. and there's a fenced off backyard behind the statehouse, but not more than a few hundred feet after it there's a forest—a temperate deciduous forest, like you find in the eastern U.S., with a creek a little ways in. venture deeper and you'll find a river. there's a mountain backdrop as well, and you know they're huge mountains, but they're so far away they appear a little small.

the house itself is... queen anne meets folk victorian-ish. shades of golden brown and white. there's a paved road leading up to it and a parking lot off to the side, about the size of a decently sized high school parking lot. and the road ends at the house. if you keep driving the other way, though, you eventually make it to town. a fairly urban city, with your standard fast food joints and stores and gas stations and whatnot. it's not the heart of a metropolis, not the suburban edges of it, but a decently populated urban city with a freeway or two running through it. somehow, somewhere, after a bit of an elevation drop maybe, absolutely rural plains gives way to the city. blink and you'll miss it, except no matter what you do, you'll always miss it.

the thing is, i keep imagining the statehouse and the land surrounding it as this little pocket in time and space, that exists on vaguely the same line as where central time meets eastern. the states are immortal, and that's practically magic, so why can't the statehouse be magic as well?

#lynx rambles #wttt #wttsh #welcome to the table #welcome to the statehouse #disclaimers: i know nothing about architecture and did some quick google searches to come up with queen anne and folk victorian #also this is mostly the result of me trying to put the loose concept in my head into words #and trying to avoid having to put it in a particular region #since the start i have always had this idea that the statehouse was out in the country #but it also doesnt make sense to not put it in an urban area #but also this praire forest idea would NOT leave my head #afterthought: i realize this is more eastern u.s. based #and my excuse for that is that 80% of the U.S. population lives east of like the 99th meridian i think it is? #also i wrote this in the middle of the night so this may not make a lot of sense but thats fiiiiiiiine #i also do entertain the thought of like a TARDIS-style average suburban house thats normal on the outside but huge on the inside #and i love it and it matches up w the actual statehouse series #but like i said before . the praire-forest location would just NOT leave my head #this idea of some state just walking out the back door and continuing to walk thru the entire backyard and then jump the fence and then #Keep walking untl they reach the forest bc they need some time alone or theyre Super pissed off or something #does any of this even make sense . dont think about it too much #anyway. posts this and logs off
