enamored with how different fleur’s disposition is in her present day state and her employee photo. i mean.

look at her! they took her away from her gears and cogs :(

#official art #drawtectives #drawfee #fleur waltham #the employee id photo is blurry both because i’m on my phone and also because it’s blurry in the ep i THINK #castles rambles

tom entered the screen, fulfilled one of my favorite tom roles (powerful woman), told a character off for insulting sex workers, and then posed on a balcony before absolutely knocking the ending out of the park. killing it, if you will.

#shoot from the hip #sfth jts #jacqueline de longcorridor #i'm genuinely so obsessed with her. not even to mention pulling on a RANDOM AUDIENCE MEMBER for her sidekick?#and then GRACIE knocked it out of the park as well #but!! this is about jacqueline. because she came on stage ran down a corridor and my heart was in fact immediately stolen. i really do love #a confident tom womayo #icon legend she is the moment #castles rambles

okay. jane franco and john kipling. lemons on a plane.

lemons on a plane is SFTH's first one scene longform! lemons on a plane has three and a half characters. this is going to have vague spoilers and odd musings.

jane franco and john kipling are sitting next to each other. they do not know each other. but they end up having a conversation, and john learns that jane is afraid of flights. she acts a bit odd (is she a part of the mafia? he wouldn’t know. this is fleeting), but he’s heard there will be some turbulence. he is kind to her, and she is nice back. she offers him some melon. he explains lemon cakes.

the turbulence hits. they hold hands to ground jane, who is clearly trying to not have a panic attack.

and then the turbulence gets worse and she wets herself. she is understandably mortified, and this man who normally sits in first class gives her a jumper to cover herself without a second thought. he defends her to the flight attendant. she pays for his snacks. the plane lands, and they go their separate ways, albeit jane with john’s business card. she is running from the mob, but is intelligent and has her routines. he is running a business, and has his sister as his lockscreen. they might never see each other again.

what a fun story this is to me, because this is where an odd division happens. the fandom decides they are in love.

when i watched this, i found nothing about the play romantic of sorts. i am not a fan of flights, personally, just because of the “hurry up and wait” of the airport and getting onto the plane AND ALSO MORE CRUCIALLY i get terribly airsick. but! i have had people help me on flights, a great many times. people taller than i help me put my carry-on onto the shelf. a woman sitting across the aisle offered me dramamine when she saw me realizing i forgot mine (she gave me her business card when i thanked her after the flight; she was a doctor). a fleet of people around me offering me advice when i start overheating; my seatmates turning AC towards me and someone politely asking the child behind me to stop kicking the seat.

i hate flights. but there is so much kindness from people, i have found, on them, and this single-scene longform reminded me of that. this is fleeting kindness at its clearest; they may never see each other again but they offered kindness at vulnerability, and that was lovely to see.

so the fandom’s response of shipping them made me want to sink my teeth into the why of it all. not because i dislike it, but because it was so profoundly out of my mind. first, aj’s response!

he didn't see romance in there at all, which isn't too relevant to personal interpretation (although i do wonder what luke's opinion is on john!), but is interesting to me and does provide detailing to the characters. i think there is something to be seen here with just. people's expectations of goodness. Sometimes someone does something kind for someone else, and nothing else comes of it! the two of them go on past this clip to say they don't want to rely on romance as a big crutch, to head towards it just because they know romance will get a big cheer, which then raises the question of why does romance get the big cheer, and not the fact that these people were just kind to each other? they don't know each other. this is a slice of life! why did people laugh when he took her hand, instead of cheer?

i did bring this up with people when i watched this lf initially. they said that they didn't have these kind experiences with people on flights, so romance is where their brain jumped to for the acts of kindness! there is something very amatonormative about shipping, inherently, obviously, but the focus on pairing even more visible when it's literally just these two characters kind of having the worst times of their lives.

idk. it's getting late. i really enjoyed that the two of them were kind to each other and then went their separate ways. i really enjoyed that we saw as much of each of their lives as they did. i really enjoyed that this felt fleeting. under all the silliness, it felt real. i think that is why i don't ship them. kindness does not have to mean dedication. sometimes it is just what the world is, and that is beautiful. sometimes it is simply a connection, and then you are off on your separate ways.

Welcome to Castles' Brain For the Last 2 Months: A List of Montague Finch's Autism

okay so this was written in accordance to @plagueroundcountdown's Day Four prompt Theory, and then i got three points in, realized there's no chance AJ was going to canonize this ever. anyway. this boy is autistic, a comprehensive list:

Black and white thinking (“do you see a monster or do you see a little boy?”, “you need to just kill me”, he is One Or The Other and if he is The Bad Option there is no redemption in his mind)

Struggle to empathize (cannot understand why his friends may struggle with the concept of Killing Their Friend, Actually)

Comfort Item (his magnifying glass glass that reveals the truth! if he has it the world is safer!)

Safe foods (king size kit kat 👍)

Textural Issues (specific clothing to wear, recognizes the feel of fabric immediately, and vague patreon spoiler: good with the beans originally and then when the quality has changed he immediately stops eating while the rest keep chowing down)

Flat vocal affect (doesn’t really change tone unless being What He Wants Others To See! [masking. masking.])

Speaks quietly / prefers quiet in general to not be overwhelmed (the car ride with Oleksandr, monty’s general disposition)

ALSO STRAIGHT UP. blank facial expressions. Lack of emoting. little vocal affect and also few expressions

Lack of motor skills typical for boys his age (doesn’t know how to dress/undress himself)

Literality (“what weapons do you have, monty?” “hand axe, can throw”: reading out the whole title and doing exactly what is asked; when roland tells him to use him as a battering ram, monty does exactly that without thought; same with roland’s joke of shoving sarge in the bag)

Inability to understand social cues (continuously stressing He Didn’t Do It even when Sarge says she believes him because he can’t tell whether she’s lying or not; can’t tell when the “joke” of him killing his family starts coming off wrong, shuts down Oleksandr’s attempts of conversation quite bluntly)

as with above. I don’t know how to title this but his use of I’m Sorry and Please and Thank You with otherwise blunt sentences is very autistic. to me. the autistic author of this post

thirdly with that. interrupting with either voice or gestures. does not know when “his turn” is in the conversation so he will get his shit out there.

Very good at suppressing his emotions to keep the wolf away but also to stop meltdowns who said that

Structure (his grandmother helps him with clothes so his friends will, reliance on the schedule, listening to the adults even when maybe he shouldn’t, preferring the knowledge of being weaker but Knowing What Will Happen versus impulsivity but Giving Into Unknown)

Autism Stare. 👁️_👁️. kid who has absolutely been told “if you remember what color that guy's eyes are i'll give you a sticker.” yeah. He makes eye contact less when he’s more comfortable, like with talking with kevin and i’m real normal about this folks

thank you for listening. this kid is autistic. good day <3
