eric chapman flirts with antigone funn upon his very first interaction with her before immediately back tracking when called out. then proceeds to ask her out to coffee for the sake of "friendly competition" after learning she's, in his eyes, a genius (albeit a very strange one) who makes scented embalming fluids. aaaaaaaaand then he goes after her gay best friend georgie crusoe, who would sooner bite her own hand off than say anything nice to him. because. obviously. even asks her to marry him, and whether he was fully absorbed by delusions a level previously unknown by mankind or simply expecting closure in the form of a rejected proposal, we may never know.

so then when he's NOT going after georgie, and the one person who he actually has an outstanding amount in common with is painfully single...well, time to go date the one person on piffling vale so obsessed with herself she doesn't give a single fuck about him! of course, she's interested enough in status to use him as a sort of shiny accessory, being the most popular man in town and all, and, of course, she thinks he's incredibly sexy, because who doesn't. true love, really. oh, and she's married, but no biggie.

my man is literally ONLY capable of pursuing women he KNOWS it cannot work out with. babygirl your imposter syndrome and refusal to let yourself be genuinely happy is so obvious, the only reason no one in this village realized what a little freak you are is because they're somehow even wackier than you.

hello wooden overcoats community

(ID under cut)

[ID: Seven drawings of characters from the podcast Wooden Overcoats drawn over the shinji chair meme, in which they are sitting in a fold-up chair, doubled over, leaning on their clasped hands in despair. In the first image, in order: Rudyard Funn, Eric chapman, Antigone Funn and Georgie Crusoe. In the second image: Lady Templar, Dr Edgware, Marjorie Smith.

Rudyard is a pale man with short black hair, wearing a long black overcoat, grey trousers and black dress shoes. The shadows under him are harsh and sharp. Madeleine, a black mouse, is perched on the head of the chair behind him.

Eric is a white man with a tan, and medium, curly, bleach-blonde hair. He has visible facial hair and arm hair. He is wearing a white short-sleeved collared shirt, khakis and black dress shoes. He also wears a watch and white bracelet with indistinguishable writing on it. He is sopping wet.

Antigone is a woman with unhealthily pale and grey skin and very long, very tangled black hair. She is wearing an long old fashioned black dress with a black lace underskirt, as well as grey slippers and fluffy skull-pattern socks. The shadows underneath and around her are dark, harsh and unruly.

Lady Templar is a woman with an olive skin tone and dark red hair, styled in an loose up-do. She is wearing mauve high heels and a short dark pink backless party dress, as well as a pearl necklace, hoop earrings and bracelets.

Dr Edgware is a man with light brown skin, also in an unhealthy grey tone. He has long, poorly maintained, unruly brown hair in a ponytail, heavily greying from stress, as well as visible stubble. He wears a dirty off-white labcoat, covered in blood, dirt and scorch marks. blue collared scrubs are visible underneath, and he has dark grey trousers and grey-blue trainers, the laces on one untied. A scarlet macaw parrot is perched on his back.

Marjorie is a a woman with fair skin and medium-length black hair in a bob. She wears a clean white button-down shirt, a black midi office-skirt, opaque tights and bright red heels. Her shirt is splattered with fresh blood - not hers.

moments I love in "Tempting Fête"

"I can only read what I've got written down, Mr. Funt." "Councilor Funt! -Funn, Councilor Funn."

the fact that it's been 11 years of this Funn/ Funt debate (alternatively, that both the reverend and the mayor have addressed him properly the last three episodes and seemed to have no problem with it)

"Yes, well, I'll see what I'm doing that day" -leading the funeral, one would hope?

underrated bit of the series in general: cell service only being available in the reverend's bathroom

"I think he's quite dishy" (this scratches such an itch in my brain; I quote it once a week)

the mayor and reverend (who will be dating by the end of the episode) agreeing emphatically with the above statement

the reverend wearing eye shadow! (incredible, show stopping, spectacular, never been seen before)

"It was one mouse! and, and I don't know anything about it"

"All opposed?" "... I mean, I'd say opposed is a strong word-" "Done! Carried unanimously!"; "All opposed? "I, uh-" "Overruled! Motion carried!"

"We already have an identity: it's miserable and it works." (i want this on a t-shirt)

"There hasn't been a fête for eleven years." "Astonishing. Who's in charge of local events?" "Rudyard." "Ah."

"Look, it's easy to throw money around and get excited about rustic dancing, but we've got-" "I'LL SAY IT IS!"

"His world had once again become an increasingly scary place. There was only one thing left to do..." "Georgie?" "Yeah?" "We're emigrating."; "It was time for swift and decisive action, and there was only one place to head for: Reverend Wavering's bathroom"; at the funeral I was able to witness Rudyard, bereft of Reverend and with few attendees, deliver a stirring and entirely improvised speech about the circuities of fate, the struggles of discord, and an intractable acceptance of the way the cookie crumbles, a sermon that moved the late Basil Corbett’s niece to say, quite simply:" "We want our money back" (some really fantastic narration moments in this one that make me giggle every time)

Rudyard including Madeleine in the emigration plans is said so sweetly and it honestly makes me a little soft

"One word: Chapman." "I should return his calls-" "Chapman?" "- probably won't, though"

"Rudyard, other people do those things for you!" "Conscription?" "Volunteering!"

"I, I, I do like spreadsheets!"

(No Madeleine, I hate raffles!") (these posts are always so Rudyard-centric lol and it's helped me come to the conclusion that he really is the funniest)

"Do you know how many gallons of fluid I'll have to drain from a man that size? Possibly thousands!" "What a ridiculous lie!" (this is another one that I quote often lol)

"I wish I were Mrs. Carnegie!" "You will be, Mrs, Turner. You will be." (WHAT IS THIS RESPONSE?!)

"Fancy a funeral?" "That a threat?"; "Don't forget your funeral." "Was that a threat?"

"Socializing? That'd take up ten minutes and then what would they do? No. Perpetual scheduled activity, that's the way."

"Put some clothes on!" "IT'S MY HOUSE!"

"Antigone?" "What?!" "Helicopters!" "Go back to your side of the table."

"Now get over there and sabotage something!" "*sigh* Fine." "Do you really think that's going to help?" "Oh maybe not, but it'll cheer me up."

"Called up the family, made up a story about... well, re-organizing a fête, that sort of thing." "How did they react?" "Well, they weren't very happy..." "But?" "No, that's it, they weren't very happy."

"You know, I can actually see your future." "Oh yes?" "Mmm hmm. And it involves this crystal ball getting shoved STRAIGHT up your-"

"Alright sir! Mission accomplissshhhhed." "Hello, Georgie." "Hello..." "Get out, Georgie." "Goodbye..."

The Mayor trying to rustic dance for a couple of hours before giving up

Lady Templar's glass eye. (That's it. That's the post.)

"He'd be spinning in the grave you haven't put him in yet!" (best line of the episode honestly)

"What a dreadful little man!" "Yes... mind you, he looks good in a suit"

"Even in a crowd, they all look lonely" (🤌🤌🤌)

"Can't win 'em all" 'Winning anything at all would be a nice change." (also want this on a t-shirt)

"You like to be the hero, don't ya?" (Georgie's the GOAT)

"Rudyard. Do you know what this chap did?" "Yes, he told me" (my man is already so tired of Eric lol)
