sometimes i think about penny turner and how much she must love her brilliant, beautiful son, her only child, and how proud she must be of him, but how much she must've worried about him too over the years (and probably still does sometimes) and then i cry a little 🥺

more emo thoughts about this under the cut because it's just that kind of night i suppose
like, we know alex and his mum (both his parents actually) have a great relationship and they love each other very much, so i have no doubt that she's so very proud of alex for how hard he works and how driven and talented he is, so proud of everything he's achieved, knowing how much he and his creations mean to a huge number of people
but then also, how could she not worry about him, knowing that yes, he is living his dream, but he's also flying all across the world every few years, a different city every night, performing to the point of exhaustion, only to have to come up with the next big thing all over again? that's a lot of pressure on his shoulders, even if he does share a lot of it with the rest of the band. and alex handles it admirably of course, but still, if even i worry about him sometimes, i can't imagine how it must be for his mother (and father, of course, all of this probably goes for him just as much)
i also think about how she must have felt when alex moved to the usa, and how relieved she must've been when he decided to move back to the uk/europe, to have him closer again. and i wonder how she must've felt watching all those different personas and eras he created appear and disappear, maybe sometimes fearing he'd lose himself somewhere along the way, but still always seeing her boy underneath it all. i'm sure she's gotten used to it to some extent, but it must still be overwhelming sometimes, seeing all the hype and the scrutiny and the expectations and the temptations he has to deal with, especially knowing better than anyone how special and sensitive he is deep down. i can imagine she wishes she could protect him while at the same time knowing he's a big boy now, and he was always destined to make his mark on the world in a way that required him to spread his wings and leave the warm nest she'd created for him
and then i think she must also be so grateful to know that he's always got his best friends with him when he's on the road, to support him and share the load, and that he has so many more friends who adore him and always have his back, and how much of a reassurance that must be and then I just 😭😭😭😭 you know? 🥺
Johny Pitts: My old teacher Mrs Turner, who taught me German, came to see my Home Is Not A Place show at Graves Gallery Sheffield. She’s standing next to one of my best mates who works there, and by a photo in an adjacent box exhibition of her son, Alex Turner, from Arctic Monkeys! (Posted on 29/09/2022)
-they are so precious! i think i would be more star struck speaking to penny than any of the boys haha // Yesss!!! I would definitely talk to her about languages (linguistic nerd here) Wonder what other languages she knows
I'd love to know too what other languages she knows and why it's not French. lmao
Penny girl, if you wanna write in we're happy to receive you!
I always tell the girls never take it seriously, if you never take it seriously you never get hurt, if you never get hurt you always have fun, and if you ever get lonely just go to the record store and visit your friends.
i mean come on imagine your son getting a crowd of 100k people to sing happy birthday to you what do you even do with your pride for him how hard must it have been to not collapse on the floor she looks SO emotional
note: I don’t feel hate towards the reboot, I simply don’t care if it exists or not. I’m a huge original girl since kindergarten and there’s nothing anyone can do about it :) I saw this idea and simply decided to give it a try.
Even with all the flaws, I like how it turned out even though I’ll probably re-do it later.
An Evil Witch kills the keeper of the Fairy Tales and forces the sisters to relive them: Phoebe is controlled by Cinderella's glass slippers, Paige bites into Snow White's poisoned apple and Piper and Grams fall prey to a wolf.
That's the Daddy Turner content we were waiting for. And dammit, I sat just one block away from Penny fucking Turner. We could've nerded out together over linguistics. lmao

hii i just needed to ask this because its driving me a bit insane but in the Timmy Turner subathon stream you mention the words "Three orphans, one uscrupulous guardian-" but then get interrupted by Penny dying before you get to mention where it comes from. Every rewatch i do of that video that phrase gets stuck in my head for like a day at the least
i was just wondering if you were willing to share where it comes from so I can stop wondering or trying to find where it comes from, thank you!
