one of my favorite things on taskmaster is when one of the contestants go "well, i can't just do [x]. that would be stupid" and then it immediately cuts to another contestant doing that. "i can't just chuck it, that would never work!" well taskman mcdumbass over here is tossing that bitch immediately. it sadly plonks to the ground, completely ineffectual. what did you think would happen. amazing. high art

one thing that deeply amuses me about s1e2 of the sister boniface mysteries is the idea of this like, being in-universe trivia decades later. oh yeah did you know that episode of spy thriller sci fi classic operation qt was filmed at an actual convent, and also there was a murderer loose, and also that one nun at the end was in it as a favor because she was genuinely a really big fan of the show, and,

one thing i love about harry and sophie's whole thing is that they are both wholeheartedly theater kids. like it's more obvious with sophie given it's explicitly explored in canon but with harry i mean. CMOOON. have you seen how much he SAVORS his roles?? he throws his whole pussy into every con ESPECIALLY when he gets to play a weird little freak (actually very funny that harry's two roles are almost always 1. himself, sometimes literally 2. insane campy little freak. says a lot about 1 doesn't it.) and he's so overjoyed and so dramatic about it he loves it. it's great. anyway honestly this could be a post good enough on its own but i was thinking about sophie being a director and the idea of a like generally-non-criminals au wherein sophie's the director at a local theater and harry is either a) an unhappy corporate lawyer who takes improv on a whim and ends up getting WAY too into it to a frankly embarrassing degree and it literally changes his life b) already quit his job and is looking for purpose and somehow ends up cast as a major lead in one of sophie's plays. there are different ways to take that too like. is this played seriously? is he in a comedy and getting a LOT of laughs and loving it? or are they playing leads opposite of each other and both of them are having the time of their lives hamming it up (harry keeps reminding her of her lines very unsubtly when she needs it which she appreciates) and playing off each other and occasionally veering wildly off the rails into improv and it's horrendous and a trainwreck and critically hated but they have SO much fun and also they may or may not gain a local cult following bc yes, that godawful, but holy shit was it funny. anyway im just saying. harry and sophie theater kids. harry the sad corporate lawyer getting some new life and energy from local theater, improv comedy, and charity work instead of crime. alternatively, all this happens bc sophie retired to do actual theater stuff while grieving and then fell into this whole thing with this weird new guy in her theater group and that could get so complicated so fast. her being aware of his background, him being very unaware of hers, eventually her life crashing into all that (first via her weird family whom he takes in stride bc honestly a central part of harry's character is just Rolling With It. they're so weird and he loves it and he will commit to the bit without fully understanding the bit. and then via some kind of disaster where he is rapidly realizing she is not a random theater director but also the team is reluctantly impressed with sophie's weird boytoy's ability to fast talk his way to helping with almost none of the information) and this really messes up all the themes of redemption and progression of arcs in canon but we're just having fun here so that's fine. i feel like there's more but my brain is messy rn so this is what i got at the moment

also i know i'm not pointing out anything revolutionary here but i am thinking nonstop about the parallels between gurathin and murderbot specifically in this case gurathin outright talking about his past suicidal thoughts versus murderbot's obvious passive suicidality in this episode

i love pov outsider on the leverage team just in general but i especially like the idea of the reunion job. people watch that slow dance and the way he's looking at her and how real her smile looks and go home thinking man, who would have thought? kinda douchey popular guy turned annoying but likable loser drake mcintyre and nerdy surprisingly fierce and now hot girl grace peltz. nevermind no one really remembers the details on who the fuck grace peltz is they just assume they've forgotten. they go home thinking like. wow, who would have thought those two would end up in love? but damn if they aren't. and then one of them runs into the real drake mcintyre at some point and he is just fully a different guy who has no fucking idea what they're talking about and they're like THEN WHO THE FU

Fic Title ABCs

Rules: How many letters of the alphabet have you used for a fic title? One fic per line, 'A' and 'The" do not count for 'a' and 't. Post your score out of 26 at the end, along with your total fic count.

I counted 499 published works on ao3, but some of those are snippets collections I now regret doing (meaning multiple fics/ficlets in one work) and there my be an accidental repeat or two. okay definitely at least one as i'm going through. also, at least one of those is hidden, so there's that. (not included on this list obviously)

i have so many options i tried to spread it out among fandoms, for fun. but sometimes i just chose a fic i liked better, i won't lie.

A - and i'm alone now (The Mysterious Benedict Society)

B - back again (Star Trek: The Next Generation)

C - cain's lament (The Mysterious Benedict Society)

D - dreams of falling (House MD)

E - emotionally compromised (Star Trek: AOS)

F - falling for you (oops) (Ted Lasso)

G - gunpoint (Now You See Me)

H - hypothetically, (The Dresden Files)

I - it's a flipping paradox (Miraculous Ladybug)

J - julian our (yes, our, as in collectively) boyfriend (Instinct)

K - killer kiss, indirect kiss (Sonic Movies)

L - live out his days (The Librarians: the Next Chapter)

M - minotaur (The Mysterious Benedict Society)

N - notes12674550.xlsx (Ted Lasso)

O - of rube goldbergs and weather machines (The Mysterious Benedict Society)

P - paid in full (Sanders Sides)

Q - questions (Watson)

R - roses & lilies (Instinct)

S - suffer the feathers for the song (Ted Lasso)

T - to be soft and small (Ted Lasso) (i was gonna put my professor layton fic here out of an abundance of fics starting with t, but alas, that one's t is a the)

U - unburied (Ted Lasso)

V - vita nova (Ted Lasso)

W - won't let you fall (Instinct)

X - THE ONLY ONE I DON'T HAVE!!!!! (unless we're counting "exercising restraint" which I can only assume we're not) NOOOOOOOO

Y - you are not your own (Shadowhunters)

Z - zugzwang (Ted Lasso)

THAT'S 25/26!!! FUCK!!!!! SO CLOSE

I've got like two fics that are almost finished and I genuinely considered rushing to get them done and naming them something to start with "X" but it wouldn't be honest.... 😔
