Your friendly neigbourhood yaoi gremlin

Introduction

Greetings!

I'm Hamish, your local gremlin from the hell pit. My pronouns are He/It, and I'm a bisexual(?) trans guy.

Welcome to my hell pit where I yap about things you probably don't want to hear about, such as my rarepairs and general hyperfixations. And yes, true to my name I do tend to be disproportionately obsessed with MLM ships in comparision to others.

Anyway, feel free to send me asks about whichever of my odd ships catch your interest, or... well, whatever else you'd like!

I have no idea how often I'll post, but it'll probably be inconsistent as fuck, so... sorry?

My tags are now:

#ramblings from the pit - my general rambles and stuff

#scribbles from the pit - anything to do with my art

#answers from the pit - answering asks

And I have retroactively edited those in to old posts

Shows I would love to talk about include:

Narcos & Narcos: México

Halt And Catch Fire (for the Gordon/Joe)

Sweet Tooth (I do actually have a rarepair for that too, but I'll yap about that at a later date)

Dept. Q (mainly for the Carl/Akram)

Bodkin (I love all of it, but especially the Gilbert/Seamus potential)

KAOS

The Worst Witch 2017 (because HB and Miss Cackle are married and no one can change my mind)

In The Flesh (Rickren my beloved)

Okay, this is an entirely different fandom from what I usually post about...

But we gotta talk about the whole Yaelokre Cooper and Playwright situation!

Irregardless of whether there were enough bad actors to justify punishing the whole fandom, irregardless of whether Keath is intertwining themselves with their characters too much, I have a bigger issue with all of this.

Where does it stop?

Because people on the internet are always going to be people on the internet. Removing Cooper and Quest from the narrative is not going to stop people s*xualising things from the Meadowlark world, or even Keath themselves. It's Rule 34 of the internet. Everything will be s*xualised, whether you want it to or not.

And so if that's true, which it is, are they just going to cut away more pieces from their story? What if people start s*xualising the Harkers next? Bam, there's an important part of the narrative just gone in some pointless attempt to put a plaster on a gaping wound. And if they start s*xualising other characters? Cole, Clemmie, Kingsley, Peregrine? (Not saying they should, s*xualising child characters is fucked up, I'm just saying some freaks would and probably have). Well, there goes our main characters too.

Now, I'm not saying Keath will do this, I'm not trying to fearmonger or spread paranoia. I'm just saying that this is where this path can lead.

If you allow these bad actors, this small minority of the fandom, to force you into ripping chunks out of your story just to try and stop them, then you are letting them win. This has the potential to not stop here, but instead to rot away Meadowlark from the inside if Keath doesn't get their shit together and realise that they can't just cut pieces of their lore with reckless abandon.

Especially unreleasing songs (And The Hound - Reprise). What, are we going to lose Kid & Leveret next? Kamahalan? Neath The Grove Is A Heart? God forbid, Hearken? Where does it end? You wanted to tell a story through your music, but now you're willing to burn that story and burn that music in some mad endeavour to control something so much bigger than yourself?

Thank you for reading this, and if it seems overdramatic, it probably is. I'm just pissed off and baffled at the lack of foresight as to where this can lead.

Guys I miss Bodkin so bad. I love it so much dammit!!! Especially Gilbert and Seamus. God, I love Gilbert and Seamus.

I need to put them in a jar and feed them lettuce like pet snails. I need to violently shake them like maracas. I need to make them into marketable plushies and bite them and like a dog with a chew toy.

Ughghghghghghghghgh...

Anyway... I'm so normal about Gilbert and Seamus from Bodkin and I'm definitely not going mad wishing for a second season. If anyone would like to yap about Bodkin with me, please send me an ask or a message.

Please... I feel sick over how much I love them. I must yap about them with someone...

[father-yaoi]

I really have to stop obsessing over Bodkin. It’s gotten to the point where I see the word sciatica and think:

[father-yaoi]

Bodkin textposts!

part one?

[father-yaoi]

What if instead of listening to any of the many artists on my listening list, I just listened to the Oh Hellos on repeat for the next few months. Again. What then

[father-yaoi]

Hamster Eyed rizz.. No this is so true. Whats your fave scenes of Salcedo?

Ooooooo, that's very hard. I haven't rewatched S3 for a while, so I may miss something out, but here we go, in no particular order...

First of all, every scene he has with Navegante. I love their whole dynamic. Navegante's usually so eerily calm, and then Jorge is always panicking at least a little bit. It's brilliant.

Second, the scene in Pallomari's office where he's standing behind the door and trying to hide the money from the DEA. It's so tense, and yet has a bit of comedy to it at the same time. I love it.

Thirdly... Well, it's gotta be either Cordova or Enrique's death... but I just can't decide which one I like more. They're both such brilliant scenes for Jorge.

And I'm going to give a bonus mention to his cameo in Narcos: México. Was it fan service? Probably. Did I still feel overwhelming joy when he turned around and I realised it was my precious little guy? Oh, absolutely.

[father-yaoi]

Subjecting you all to SeamusGilbert once again because they live in my mind. Would their relationship be very doomed and possibly even toxic? Oh, almost certainly. But unfortunately for you their doomedness has captured my interest.

Today we have a ship chart, because I can

Enjoy that and I hope Tumblr doesn't fuck up the image quality

[father-yaoi]

Why do you like Salcedo?

Hmmm... I think partly because he has an interesting dynamic with Miguel and David, partly because he's firmly in the realm of morally grey (I love a character where I can spend hours debating whether they're more good or bad), and partly because he's stressed all the time and think that's very relatable, ha ha. Speaking of Salcedo, my friend once said that he has "hamster eyed rizz". And now I can't unsee the hamster eyes. And now you won't be able to either. You're welcome

[father-yaoi]

Oh thats an unique answer. Why did you like Kuykendall? Is there special reason?

I honestly have no idea. I just randomly attached myself to him halfway through S1. Maybe it's because he's got sort of dad like vibes. I tend to attach myself to characters with dad vibes. No idea why, I'm pretty sure I don't have daddy issues. Alas, 'tis a mystery I am not able to solve. All I know is he's my favourite little lad, and I want to put him in a jar and feed him lettuce like a pet snail

[father-yaoi]

What's your fav charater from narcos?

Ooooo, that's very difficult. I love all of them so much, but if I have to choose... from Narcos, probably Jorge Salcedo, and from Narcos: México, I'd say it's Jaime Kuykendall. Although, for NM, I'll admit I haven't finished it yet. Not because I don't love it, but because I love it so much. I hate endings, and the more I love a show the more afraid I am of it ending. So despite the fact that I started it a year ago, I'm still stuck halfway through season two. So, all this being said, I suppose there's a chance I'll find a different favourite, but I'm pretty sure it's going to stay Jaime. I just love the dude so much.

Thank you very much for being my first ask! If you have any more questions, I'd love to answer them. Doesn't have to be Narcos related either, just anything you'd like

Aaaaaaand we're back with more of me seeing no ship art for Seamus/Gilbert and deciding to do it myself because I'm insane enough to think there's a demographic who want this (there is, it's me)

Today from the mind of Hamish we have the world's stupidest parody ever made, because I was rewatching Heartstopper and Bodkin at the same time

So, I started with this screenshot from Ep3:

Then some strange part of my brain was reminded of this:

And now somehow we got here:

Why? Honestly no idea

I'm sorry for subjecting your eyes to this

[father-yaoi]

First proper post for this blog and I'm already being insane, but that's what I made this for I guess so... might as well scare you off with my rarepairs sooner rather than later

Seamus Gallagher/Gilbert Power ship art because they've got homoerotic tension and no one can change my mind (man, I need to make a post about all the evidence I have for this)

I hope I have fed all the many people (by which I mean me) who were watching Bodkin and thinking "aggressively making out would fix these two"
