Chaos and Abandon

I’m very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very tired.

Some day I want to see a show that does the “no filler episodes” thing from the opposite direction. Just a whole season worth of low-stakes character pieces that seem to move the overall story absolutely nowhere, then episode 26 pulls all the triggers at once and this massive Rube Goldberg machine of a plot the show’s been quietly setting up in the background the whole time hits you like a truck.

huh? pompeii? nah dude that song’s so old and overplayed, if the radio station puts that song on one more fucking time I’m gonna—-EH EH OH EH OH EH EH OH EH OH

I'm sorry, ya girl's gotta be pedantic as shit about this This is Temple Fugate (pun on the latin phrase Tempus fugit or 'Time Flies'), better known as The Clock King specifically from the Batman the Animated Series He has no powers he's just...there's no better way I can explain this; Extremely Autistic about time management and hyperfixated on Clocks and has increadibly well planned out 'crimes' down to the milisecond, including escape routes that rely on a certain train always running a frew minutes late Even in his debut episode, just called 'The Clock King', he's kinda...fucking pathetic? His crimes range from a mild prank hacking into traffic lights to causing a massive train crash just to embarress before finally killing his 'nemesis', the mayor of Gotham because years ago when Fugate was an efficiency expert his company whose company was dealing with a lawsuit from a dissatisfied client that Fugate was appealing in court. On a train ride into work before being seen in court, he takes advice from a lawyer he was 'seat neighbours' with-the future mayor-Hamilton Hill and Hill noticed that Fugate was, well...wound too tight and innocently suggested that instead of sticking to his routine, Fugate should have his lunch in the park to relax to seem like he has nothing to hide from the judge. Fugate, while dubious, eventually relents because what would the harm be? A string of comical accidents in the park from kids kicking a ball into his briefcase, sending his papers flying into the nearby fountain followed by a dog barking at him as he tried to fish them out causing him to trip into water, that's what. Causing him to be late with the judge admonishing him, "You really need to keep time better" a denying the appeal, bankrupting the company and causing Fugate to snap Years later, Fugate puts his plans into action, putting all the blame on Hill because coincidentally the legal firm Hill worked at was the one representing the client that sued them-Hill wasn't even the one working the case-and Fugate thought that Hill conspired against him and had the grand 'reveal' after kidnapping Hill...where he just took off his glasses, as if that would somehow work. Fugate had to basically spell out who he was to Hill and even then Hill only barely recognized him Granted in the next episode he appeared in, Fugate spent months working as a butler for an eccentric scientist who made a belt that could pause time for the wearer, which Fugate stole-basically gained super speed to the outside view and you wanna know what he did with this device that gave him the power of a god? If you guessed 'harras before trying to kill Mayor Hill again' you'd be right! The man's good at making plans on paper but has no creativity

#i always think about how beautiful it was for ryan coogler to cast buddy guy as older sammie #i often think about how people like to espouse the idea that we are "so far removed" from jim crow and segregation when creatives like buddy are still alive #a lot of the activists and figures are still alive! #idk the fact that he's living proof of the continued effects of chattel slavery on black americans is so bittersweet because he remembers such atrocities but he's also able to bestow wisdom and history for art pieces like sinners

Ryan Coogler said in an interview, btw, that part of why he thought of Buddy Guy was because his uncle loved seeing him – he'd get dressed up and go see him play live when he got the chance.

Colbert writing a "sequel" to The Return of the King feels like such hubris. I know he's a bigger Tolkien nerd than I'll ever be, but that doesn't mean we need to be subjected his fanfic.

it should be posted anonymously on ao3 as God intended

I would die for Mr. Murderbritches

You will

He’ll do it personally

I love this site.

Without my glasses I couldn’t tell those were chickens and thought he had been arrested for stealing ice creams.
