Why did Man from Uncle rub you the wrong why, out of curiosity?

It was Man of Steel Superman (HATE) + The Social Network rowing twins (HATE) doing a throwback spy movie. I think I literally said, “Ugh, NO,” in the theater when I first saw the trailer. Deserved or otherwise, it’s just not on my list to check out.

Prompt: Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries- Prank War

Jane couldn’t say, really, exactly how it started. Hugh swore up and down it was Miss Phryne’s fault, and Dot insisted just as much that it was Detective Robinson’s fault. But Jane was a practical girl — always had been, always would be — and she suspected there was blame enough to go around both sides with some left over for Dot and Hugh and Mr. Butler, too, probably.

Jane first realized something was going on a week or so ago, when Miss Phryne came marching into the house followed by Ces and Bert and a powerful stench. Jane had been practicing in the parlour, but she got up from the piano to investigate as they all tromped past her.

"That is the very last bitter end to that — that man!” Miss Phryne exclaimed, slapping something down on the kitchen table. It was wrapped — badly — in newspaper, and it was definitely the cause of the smell.

Mr. Butler whisked it away into the trash. “I take it the car will need to be cleaned thoroughly, Miss?”

"It will need to be exorcised, Mr. Butler,” Miss Phryne huffed. “It was hidden inside the door frame! What kind of a lunatic hides a dead fish inside a door frame?”

"Didn’t you just stuff it under his seat, Miss?" Cec asked, his brow furrowed.

"That’s not the point, Cec. The point is that this is a clear escalation of hostilities."

"Blimey," Bert muttered, and nudged Cec to be off.

Jane caught Cec’s elbow as he went past. “Who put the fish in the car?” she whispered.

Cec leaned down, casting a careful eye on where Miss Phryne was still fuming and being fussed over by Mr. Butler. “Robinson — who else’d have the nerve? She put it in his car yesterday morning and it showed up in her car this afternoon.”

"Honestly," Jane huffed.

Cec chucked her on the chin. “Kids these days, eh?” he said, and followed Bert out.

Jane never got the full story, but really, who started it wasn’t as important as other things at the moment.

Like how to get that horse off the police station roof.

cainangrey replied to your post:ALSO I am horribly sad because my sister and I realized that in the entirety of two seasons, Jack has never laughed out loud. BRB CLAWING AT MY FACE because I can't take his sadness oh god. Those two episodes where he was trying to separate himself from Phyrne were pure agony, he was so thoroughly miserable without her reminding him how to laugh and have fun, and I just know that's how it always was before she showed up, I KNOW it. UGH.

I am curious how much of this was also influenced by the family he married into. His father in law was also fairly reserved and conservative. And very important to Jack’s carear. It would make sense, that over time, he would end up morphing into him.

Hmm, I'm not sure I agree - I think Sanderson was someone he admired to a certain degree, but as for Jack emulating him, even unconsciously, I don't think so, because their reserve is similar only on the very surface.

CUT FOR SPOILERS, and bros you should take this as a sign that I really really want y'all to watch Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries because I never give a shit about spoilers but I WANT YOU ALL TO WATCH MISS FISHER'S MURDER MYSTERIES WITH CLEAR EYES AND FULL HEARTS and stuff.

Anyway.

Sanderson is, at heart, a cold and calculating man; his reserve is borne out of really toxic greed and desire for power. He lies very, very easily to Jack and to his daughter; it's never implied that these lies are to protect them. Rather they are to protect himself, protect the image they have of him. Sanderson needs Jack to hold him in awe so that he can order Jack around; I think his reasons for lying to his daughter are more complicated and certainly there's love there. But Sanderson's cold demeanor reads as a genuine lack of humor and spirit - something that I think Jack would have found vaguely repellent rather than something to be imitated. Remember, Sanderson has a number of other characteristics that we see illustrated: ambition, ruthlessness, cold calculation.

Contrast that to Jack, who noses into and takes interest in his constable's love life; who has incriminating evidence incinerated when he doesn't agree with the definition of the crime; who spends his free time going down to the Child Welfare office to argue that this crazy lady he just met a few weeks ago should be allowed to care for a teenage girl. Jack is enormously kind, on top of having a great sense of humor, and throughout his marriage and his close relationship to Sanderson he never lost that. I also think it's really fucking telling that Sanderson never brought Jack into his little corruption ring. That, I think, is a pretty clear indication that though both Jack and Sanderson may appear to be dour old policeman at first glance, they really couldn't be more different.

cainangrey replied to your post: why does every old person in a film ha...

Because 1 in 3 Seniors Die of Alheimers or Dementia. alz.org/alzheim…

that's really not an explanation considering they do this in just about every kind of film medium. like in a fantasy au, so alzheimers is a thing there too???? or every hero film ever. it's lazy writing

Hey Jen. I sent this in a few days ago, but I am not sure if it actually sent. Do you have an crossover recs?

i have a ton of fusion recs. i am not that overly fond of crossovers since the characterisation is wonky at times 

[swingsetindecember]
