insp.
so i’ve been binge-watching Brooklyn Nine-Nine all day and I am totally on board with the “John Mulaney should guest star on the show as Jake’s high school best friend/lowkey boyfriend” idea, but I raise you
Once everyone putting it together that they weren’t “just friends”, Amy (out of confusion more than anything) asks “Wait, Jake, you dated John Mulaney in high school?”
And just as Jake is responding “Uh, I guess so?”
John Mulaney says “Wait, your name is Jake?”
Turns out John Mulaney spent the entire time thinking Jake’s name was John (and, of course, this is at the end of the episode, and John Mulaney has only ever referred to Jake as “Peralta”).
John as in “Salt & Pepper Diner” John. As in “Scatter” John.
As is “Jake Peralta has been featured in half of John Mulaney’s best bits over the years, but nobody put it together because of wild misunderstandings”
top 5 beatdown is such a delightful show to me. my favorite part is when someone goes IN THIS RANKING… i pick. THIS THING! and someone else is like LMAOOOOOO u like THIS THING! that is so stupid. and then 2 minutes later u find out they have it ranked even higher
the scariest scene for me in the show is when annabeth is aggressive toward the police officer. i was so afraid for her life. because she doesn't know to be wary. because she and her dad never had that conversation. hand downs. scariest scene.
Bob: Don't you get jealous?
Hangman: I never really had anything to worry about. Roo was never really good at the flirting thing.
Rooster: What are you talking about? It worked with you.
Hangman: Oh, you know what? You're right. We met, you flirted, and then bam! Ten years later you had me!
i'm finally watching queen charlotte and, y'all, tell me that these two:
aren't basically just these two:
Keep seeing posts in solidarity with the WGA strike that say things like “no one cares about your favorite shows” and “fuck your tv show. I hope it gets canceled” and while I understand and agree with the underlying sentiment, which is clearly “Real people are more important than fictional ones, you dipshit” I don’t like the framing because, well, it feels shitty to dismiss the importance of the work made by the workers we’re trying to defend.
No one cares about your favorite shows more than the writers do.
No one understands the power and importance of tv and film more than the writers who created them.
No one loves tv, movies, games, and stories more than the people who fought tooth and nail in an incredibly competitive and underpaid profession for the chance to be part of it.
They know it’s important. They know it changes lives. They know it can be more than just a story, more than just a bit of entertainment. They’ve loved and respected this medium, continue to love and respect this medium, more than you ever will.
The person who wants a show to get canceled the least is the writer who poured their everything into making it good.
TV and movies are great, actually, and you are not wrong to be invested and care about them. That’s what the writers gave you. That’s what the writers wanted when they wrote it. That’s why they wrote it.
Which is why we respect them when they make the call that this strike and its demands are worth risking it.
The people on that picket line do not want their shows canceled. They want to keep writing them. They can’t, not under the current conditions.
So we accept the risk with them and support them.
But I don’t want to berate the power and importance of their work, the value they put into it and the love they have for it, in the same breath that I am defending their strike. Worthy shows will likely get canceled or derailed and that will be a tragedy worth mourning. The writers know that better than anyone.
So when they say something else is even more important, we listen. And when your favorite show gets ruined, you make sure your fully justified anger and grief is pointed in the right direction - at the CEOs who killed it.
My favorite new bit in ghost files is when one of them describes what the other is probably doing in that moment then it cuts to them doing exactly that.
I think a lot about Jake and Bradley unconsciously parroting Carole and Goose's relationship.
I think about them calling each other "honey" often. About Jake flirting, calling Rooster a stud. About Jake sitting in Bradley's lap while he screeches over the piano keys, the other daggers surrounding them with love and laughter. I think about Jake leaning over Bradley to face Nat and telling her, "So. Rooster told me about you and Bob-o, Trace. Hell of an improvement from the last asshole you dated." Only for Rooster to SQUEAK beside him, nuzzling Jake's cheek with a frantic, "Baby, I did not--" "Yes you did." "That was supposed to be a secret, honey!"
Like yes, they're often compared to Icemav, and it's true--SO true, but I also like to think that when Icemav are together, Mav also takes inspiration from Carole and Goose on how to be a partner.
Anyway, send tweet.
It absolutely killed me how blatantly they show how comfortable Miguel O’Hara is with small children. The animators utilized the sheer power of body language to show that he was only irritated by Peter B Parker being annoying/irresponsible but meanwhile Miguel’s hands are perfectly maneuvering, almost on autopilot, to make sure Mayday stayed in a safe comfortable position even when she was being super wriggly and excitable. Showing that scene immediately after showing Miguel looking at pictures of him and his daughter.. i’m so unwell help
