this is weird, but: one of the things that really makes me feel strange about getting older is seeing all my favorite romantic heroes played by these … unexceptional lads in new adaptations, lads who fill my heart with a vague sense of, in michael scott’s words, “i hate looking at your face! i wanna smash it!”. like, that dude from lovesick (a show that was for real titled scrotal recall for like 2 seasons until even its writers realized that could never work!) with the surfer hair as george knightley??? say what now?? ol’ lord-byron-looking curls mcgee lecturing jo march on literary integrity? (which, i liked that performance, but he also felt like such a weird newfangled young hottie version of bhaer.) timothee chandelier is laurie now?? and i know this isn’t a new adaptation, but whoever this mean dude with eyebrows is on sanditon being like, ‘i’m the newest austen hero, i’m an austen hero now’?? exsqueeze me?? sir. you go too far!!

WHERE ARE THE EARNESTLY DASHING MEN OF THE 90s AND 00s THAT SET OUR HEARTS ALIGHT?

I WAS WRONG ABOUT THAT DUDE FROM LOVESICK WITH THE SURFER HAIR

I was wroooooong!

Hahaha “whoever this mean dude with eyebrows is on Sanditon” also played that diplomat who died from the sex aneurysm in, like, the pilot episode of Downton Abbey...and there is literally no coming back from that.

I’ve got some shit boys. My huge awful wife gave me children who think and speak like the toilet. I have three garbage sons: The first son is named Richard, the second son is named Geoffrey, and the third son is the dreaded John. Which one of my toxic sons should inherit the crown? Take this quiz to help me decide!

I love this, but this is definitely the inferior version of the Lion in Winter (as opposed to the 2003 version with Patrick Stewart as King Henry II and Glenn Close as Eleanor of Aquitaine).

glumshoe

you dare suggest that Katherine Hepburn is not the superior Eleanor in front of ME

radagastcalling

Katharine Hepburn delivering the line “I damn near died of windburn” belongs in this clickhole quiz someplace.

Also would the quiz result for Geoffrey have the word bastard in it or not?? I JUST WANT THE QUIZ OKAY because i feel like I would be Geoffrey.

So thing is? Discworld? BBC’s “The Watch” trailer? Vimes flipping Vetinari off? Bad. But whatever you know? It’s like. Whatever.

But Vimes and Vetinari meeting in what looks like a sewer? Out of the light? In secret? Like. How do you miss the point like that?

The whole point of The Watch books is accountability!!

Aside from their first meeting (and oh boy I just realised that Vetinari technically isn’t in power then, is he? He might be on top of things but he’s in a cell! He’s not the Patrician anymore!), Vimes and Vetinari always, always, always meet in Vetinari’s office (or other official space).

In the light, in a place where anyone can see them and know that meeting happened. Because they are to be held accountable for what they do!

Because “ Only crimes could take place in darkness.” Justice has to be done in the light.

#the dedication to accountability above ALL else even Stopping The Bad Guy is what makes the watch different than your standard copaganda #there is NO extrajudicial justice dealt by vimes because he Knows He’s In The Right #because the moment he makes that call once there’s nothing stopping them from making that call when it’s unwarranted #crime will eventually be stopped. but if the people who have power are allowed to circumvent the law #that is much much more insidious and longterm worrying. and that is what every watch book is about #if there is ever an interpretation of vimes that doesn’t hold accountability for the entire institution as the single most important thing #that cannot ever EVER be circumvented #then that’s not vimes. the adaptation is not the watch. and it’s just another piece of copaganda to toss on the shitheap

hey, @reisentbunburyist, don’t hide this in the tags, it’s too on point

I flatly refuse to watch this trailer and literally every single thing I learn about it only justifies this stance

The only reason Sam Vimes should be stood in a shadowy corner is to light his cigar on a rainy night.

That’s it.

radagastcalling

AND even then, his rationale for standing in a dark corner to light up the cigar because it looks cool SHOULD be liable to prompt his subordinates to tut at him for “grandstanding”.

In anthropological terms, Rickrolling technically qualifies as a “ritual”.

One of the funniest things I ever experienced was when I went to go see John Mulaney live, and halfway through a bit about how expensive college in the States is, he looked down at the sleeve of his suit jacket and just. stopped. dead halt, mid sentence.

And after like three seconds, where we’re all trying to figure out the punchline because the story clearly hadn’t ended, and John Mulaney quietly says, “Has there been tinfoil on my buttons the whole goddamn show?”

He’d taken his suit to the drycleaner, and they’d wrapped the buttons on the sleeves and the coat with tinfoil to protect them, and John Mulaney didn’t notice until half-way through his set, and was SO FLABBERGASTED that he never did finish the story about college and instead did five minutes on how stupid it was that his buttons were reflecting the light and he just didn’t notice, and in that moment I understood more about John Mulaney as a person than I ever have.

ournameisfun

during one of his portland shows, he noticed this like 7 year old girl in the front row and asked her (and her parents) if she ‘is aware that she is physically here right now’ or if she was just brought along. turns out her favorite john mulaney bit is the “and I’m new in town” bit and that she’s seen all his stuff. He was so shocked and discomforted by the fact a SEVEN YEAR OLD has seen his shows, that he couldn’t get through a bit about donating to charity without interrupting himself at least three times to import good life lessons on this small child, as if that makes up for all the horrible things he’s said that she heard

When I saw him in Ft. Lauderdale, there was a bar in the lobby that people kept leaving to go to. At one point, a guy in the front row just got up and BOOKED IT to get drinks. John Mulaney looked over at a woman who was next to the empty seat and asked, “Are you with him? What’s his name?”

She was, in fact, with him, and she did tell him her date’s name. John Mulaney considered this, looked around, and unplugged his microphone. Leaning in to us, he told us that we were going to trick this guy so fuckin hard. He said, “At some point during the show, I am going to stop and say, ‘Well, you guys know what they say here in Ft. Lauderdale,’ and then you guys are all going to scream back ‘WE LOVE MILKSHAKES!’ He’ll be so confused.”

He then continued on with the show as normal, the drinks guy returned to his seat, and that was that for quite a long time. We thought he had forgotten about it until, at some point during what I believe was his McDonald’s drive-thru bit, he shrugged his shoulders and said, “You guys know what they say here in Ft. Lauderdale…”

Naturally, we erupted with “WE LOVE MILKSHAKES” and John Mulaney SWUNG around to face the drinks guy and said, “I bet you’re real confused now, huh, JASON?!”

ah so john mulaney is a chaotic neutral cryptid

i saw him last night and there was a good ten minute interlude where a woman told him everything she found wrong with his suit, including that his pants were too high waisted to which he replied “that’s where my hips are” and someone in the back shouted “look at that high waisted man he’s got feminine hips!” and he yelled back “that’s my joke! i’m offended!!”

I love how groups of friends will end up adopting a group name. like wether it’s something just like “squad” or “meme team” an inside joke or something. and you’ll just refer to the group like one unit like “hey, the meme team is coming over,” and people will just know who that means. I love it. I love these little gangs filled with good pals.
