who cares anymore

just taking it back to the start || theo | multifandom | 18+ warning | (nonfandom sideblog is @humanityinmotion)

[sseanettles]

hello! welcome to my blog

I'm a tumblr vet since aug. 2013 starting over on a new blog. i block heavily and readily and you should, too. you are responsible for curating your own space. so! that being said!

hello, my name is theo. i am an adult. this is an 18+ space. minors DNI. other demographics not your business.

sometimes I write! you can find those projects under:

-#nothing grows in corpses (my 102k dreamling big bang fic). there is nothing else NG related on my blog unless it surrounds this fic because dammit I put a lot of work into that or scraps that I wanted to preserve from my old blog’s 2022-2023 days. -original or other writing under #my writing

my own posts are typically filed under #chatting into the void

I do ask and tag games! each is tagged accordingly, pls come chat and say hi :)

but this is mainly a multifandom blog actively featuring:

-dracula -perennially bucky barnes & the catws squad -select star wars -lotr -psych & leverage -the pitt (increasingly not noah friendly 🙄 but I’m doing my best to not post discourse) -star trek!!!! my beloved!!! (esp. ds9)

-also MASH, love that funky guy alan alda, wish i had his gender -also a brief twin peaks renaissance atm, long live and goodbye david lynch <3

-also now mourning my favorite diva val kilmer, pls give me space in these trying times

anything pulled from my old blog is under the tag of #take me back to the queue.

I do have a side blog for more general funny/lovely things and that's @humanityinmotion

but all in all that's what you gotta know. peace out, have fun, and behave. if you don’t like the things I say or post, block me and move on. this is my house where I talk. tags are used for secondary chatting and blog navigation purposes only. i promise i’m not baiting you. if you don’t like what you read, make sure you can’t see me. it’s that simple.

Characters will make a very nuanced choice that makes sense for their story arc and internal conflict, and audience members will be like "is anyone else going to misconstrue this in the most black and white, bad faith manner possible?"

Okay, this is fantastic. Do you need to know anything about Jeeves and Wooster? No, you do not. Because the vid tells you everything you need to know. And also turns you feral about it within the space of a single song or single slightly slowed-down clip yes I saw that oh my god.

jeremy brett and horses

this got waaaayyyyy longer than i thought it would - part two soon!

one of the first things i noticed about brett's holmes was how he interacts with horses. we haven't even spent half an hour with him before he goes undercover as an out-of-work groom and ends up handling one of irene adler's carriage horses, and then it takes all of six and a half seconds for his experience to shine through:

the immediate, unconscious way he sort of hugs her head made me sit up and go OH?? because that's something that, as a member of the industry, i've done and seen done a gazillion times. the fact that he's also working the brush onto his hand just makes it clear how long he's been doing this.

the mare also immediately starts investigating his pockets for treats (i couldn't fit it into the gif 😕), and considering the gray cab horse later in the episode does the same thing, i'm inclined to think that he carried something with him a lot of the time. or maybe they're just beggars. hard to say, with horses.

^^ "treats???? no treats? RUDE"

i love these creatures.

even more under the cut:

this isn't the only episode where brett's ease with horses shows up; the other big example comes from the priory school, where we see holmes and watson on horseback for the first and only time in the series.

of the two ways of riding the trot shown here, sitting seems easier but it's actually infuriatingly difficult. when you're posting (what hardwicke is doing), you're coming out of the saddle as the horse hits the suspension point (where all four feet are off the ground) and therefore avoiding the bumpiest part of the trot. sitting, on the other hand, requires figuring out how to glue your ass to the saddle so you're not bouncing everywhere and fucking up both your back and the horse's. sitting as smoothly as brett does takes literal months, if not years of practice - look at how most of the 'bouncing' movement comes from his scarf rather than his body. that's no mean feat.

admittedly, sitting the trot is also exhausting (your core and lower back are doing so much), so i'm not surprised at all that he posts the trot everywhere else.

there's also this moment after he dismounts:

(yes his cane does get caught in the reins.) what i actually wanted to point out is how he asks for the roan's foot and how quick it is, because it's another example of how long he's spent around horses. it's definitely scripted, since there's the clue about old shoes and new nails, but you can also tell how natural the whole process is to him - he's barely thinking about the steps.

his cane/walking stick then gets used as a hoof pick, which. i mean i've seen old spoons used as hoof picks so this feels like a step up. anyway, the quick touch to the front of both hooves also rings true re: things-horse-people-do. again, he's barely thinking about the steps and probably only halfway acting.

and then, of course, there's this shot from master blackmailer:

honestly, that whole scene in the park is a pretty good showcase of how long he's been handling horses; this is just kind of encapsulates it. it's the multitasking (trying to set milverton on fire by sheer force of will) that ultimately gives it away, but even things like his hand placement belie his experience. he knows what he's doing with horses to the point that he can be absent-minded about it, and it's very cool to see in a non-horse-focused production

Haha you don’t know how happy this would make Louis(my friend featured in my videos) he loves lonely island 🥹

Plot twists, great acting and everything. Oscars for both of them in my heart. Which is the only type of oscars that matters to me.

the doctor told me aliens keep killing his companions so I asked how many companions he has and he says he just goes to earth and gets a new companion afterwards so i said it sounds like he's just feeding his companions to aliens and then he started crying

Rebecca not understanding his Casablanca references. Not having seen the movie. Not wanting to see it ever.

Literally the following scene, we see Ted having a Casablanca poster on his wall. Trent referencing Casablanca in a romantic way. The episode "We'll Never Have Paris", in which Ted thinks Paris is the most romantic proposal spot, including Trent saying he would propose in Paris, while looking directly at Ted. Thinking they would be the ones who will never have Paris.

Casablanca is and always will be their movie.

Are you happy, Lieutenant? In my experience, there is an inverse relationship between the degree of one’s happiness and the concern one suffers for what the neighbors think.

AMAZING!!!! This is the best case scenario

Great! I like both of these people

Good.

Eh... Could be better, but it could be worse

Bad. I'm not going to enjoy this year

TERRIBLE. Someone will end up dead

I'm dropping out

other/nuance/secret whatever option

Voting ended onAug 6

if one/both of your new roommates is a child you assume responsibility of that child

if you get the same person twice, you have to live with both of them

[frogayyyy]

there's actually only one best case scenario
