Every day I think about how powerful Martin Short would be as a drag queen. She’d be the most vicious, most glamorous fucking queen in the world. And then I remember that Jiminy Glick exists and honestly. That’s Martin Short’s drag persona. She can read a bitch to filth.

Imagine having your life verbally obliterated by this cunt.

Is it too much to ask for Loretta to fondly run her hand through Oliver’s hair in season 5?

Don’t get me wrong, I adore the way Oliver’s hands always linger/hesitate at her hair like it’s the most precious thing in the world, but at this point they’re so devoted to each other that I just need to see that hair ruffling action.

Also Oliver looks extremely hot with his hair all askew, so we need more of that.

here we are - every time Jack Frost laughs in The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause. oh, he's such a giggly fellow, isn't he? 😳❄️

today on things that i analyze significantly more than i should; omitb edition: something about theo being named after teddy (different nicknames, obviously, but presumably both named theodore) makes me insane because like. theo’s entire plotline is about living in his fathers shadow and how teddy has sort of taken advantage of his sons disability as a way to control him; roping theo into his criminal enterprise, making him do the dirty work, even when they both get arrested everyone frames it as “we caught teddy dimas!” as if theo wasn’t also taken down with him. so the fact that theo’s own name is in his fathers shadow? named after him and forever unable to escape the impact of his dad, always associated with him in a way beyond his control?? absolutely destroys me.

I needed to talk about Only Murders in the Building with someone, so I attempted to explain it to my sister.

She assumed that Oliver and Teddy were exes, and I think that speaks volumes.

As someone who grew up in a bilingual household where we spoke English but also signed, the part of Mabel and Theo's relationship that fascinates me the most is the communication, or lack thereof.

I'm mostly hearing (...sort of...) but grew up around a lot of d/Deaf people, CODAs, interpreters, etc. so while I can't give any input on the experience of profound deafness, I can at least tell apart different styles of signing. It's a little hard to tell sometimes how much of this is characterization vs. the skill level of the actors, but it is interesting.

Teddy Dimas does not sign fluidly. It's immediately obvious. It's not that he's terrible or that he can't be understood... it's just that there are a lot of tells that he does not sign as a primary language. The terseness of the signs, the deliberateness. You can tell that there's a second of thought before each sign, a jerky sort of compactness to them, that's common with people who learn to sign later in life. (Or who don't get a ton of practice with it.)

Signing, when you do it right, requires the use of your whole body. That can be hard for hearing people, who are generally used to more restrained movements. Teddy Dimas has never quite lost that restraint. He still can't go all in, not with his signing or his parenting.

I always thought this was really interesting, because it means that Teddy most likely learned to sign for his son (tragically uncommon with hearing parents of Deaf children) but that he still can't quite translate his thoughts properly into sign language. He can't quite get his emotions through to his son. There's a barrier there between them, and it seems to be largely one that Teddy's erected -- until Theo starts snapping back.

What I'm getting at is that Teddy has always forcibly drawn his son into his world instead of immersing himself in Theo's, and it shows. And it has really harmed their relationship, in more ways than one.

Zoe... we don't see a ton of her signing, but there does seem to be something somewhat performative about it. It's more fluid, like perhaps she's done it her whole life, but there's also something sort of... idk, false about it? And I wonder if that's just Zoe. It felt like she was always covering up her true feelings of loneliness and emptiness with a flamboyant personality, and the little flourishes to her signing seem to convey that as well. Her signing feels almost theatrical to me.

Theo and Mabel, though... I've always loved that episode where they go to Coney Island together. I get the criticism that Theo said at the beginning that he couldn't understand much of what she said when he was reading lips -- and then she proceeded to just talk at him for the rest of the episode anyway. But to me, at least, that always seemed like it was kind of the point. They couldn't understand each other, not fully, and that was something soothing to them.

There's something healing, I think, about shouting into the void. Letting out all of your most personal, complicated feelings without fear of repercussion or judgement. Talking into the wind because you know it won't talk back. You need to feel that echo but also know that it won't be heard.

I think there was some of that there in their initial relationship. Both of them desperately needed to talk, to get everything off their chests, but both of them also have trouble opening up to others due to trauma. So I think speaking to someone who couldn't understand them was, in some ways, ideal. They could make a human connection while keeping it fairly impersonal. They could unload without fear of judgement -- or worse, understanding.

Oddly, I think their mutual need to communicate without being understood was the one thing they understood best about each other. They could sense each other's loneliness and wariness and inability to trust that they could tell someone something important without it being used against them -- because their love and their trust have always been used against them.

So maybe in a way, their inability to talk to each other was actually what helped them communicate on a deeper level...?

Still, though. Still. I was so pleased to see that Mabel is learning more sign language so she can talk to Theo. She's got a long way to go, but no one learns to sign overnight. She's making progress, and you can tell that Theo appreciates it. There are still times where he gets too excited and signs too fast and she doesn't catch all of it, and there are times when she gets so wrapped up in her own soliloquies that she forgets that you have to face Deaf people while talking to them, but there's a familiarity to it now. When he signs too fast, she smiles and teases him. When she talks too quickly or forgets to sign or turns away from him, he just smiles and sighs and shakes his head. Then waits for her to come back.

Theo finds it irritating, obviously, but also understands that it's just... Mabel. She spends so much time in her own head that she has trouble communicating even with people who speak her language, as evidenced with Tobert. And maybe Theo does understand her in ways that others can't. Maybe it's the very fact that he accepts that he can't always understand her that makes her feel comfortable with him.

I also have to wonder, y'know... Has anyone ever learned to sign for him before, other than his father, who clearly saw it as a burden? Has anyone ever seen him as worth the effort of learning, not out of an obligation to speak to him but a desire to? No wonder he's being patient with her. I wonder if anyone has ever put in as much effort for him as she already has. It makes me so sad to think about, because what she's doing now is so... bare minimum. Theo has been so desperately alone, and so much of that is because his father isolated him. It's because no one else ever reached out. :(

idk, it just makes me happy that these two people who originally bonded over their inability to communicate are now comfortable enough with each other to try actually talking. There's something so shy and so joyful about it. I love that for them, especially Theo.

I don't want him to be alone anymore!! I want him to have someone he can talk to, whom he trusts enough to talk to, who thinks he's worth learning to talk to back!

Their odd brand of bilingual communication (or lack thereof) is just fascinating to me. ;;

Teddy Dimas, hate-listening to the Only Murders podcast from jail, realizing his son is now besties with Mabel Mora: You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.

Ok so Mabel is canonly queer right? (they never specify what exactly but but bi vibes)

And honestly so does Oliver. Right? Some of these are stereotypes but they’re all accurate. He’s a

• flamboyant

• rich

• theater director

• who went to lots of massive glitter orgies in the 70s

• who, for someone his age, seems very well versed in the language/culture of queer ppl (or better than Charles anyway lol)

• and didn’t have a close relationship w his father

• and uses typically “feminine” nicknames for ppl he cares abt (he calls his son/other family members honey, sweetie, etc)

When Mabel came out to them he immediately got it and then made fun of Charles for being confused lol I don’t think he realizes tho bc he is still old so when he was growing up, it was very taboo and there wasn’t as much language/labels to describe these feelings, even within the community. He either hasn’t identified his feelings as romantic or assumes everyone feels that way so he’s never really cared abt it

Okay but, it just occurred to me, that Oliver's ex wife cheated on him with Teddy Dimas (in fact, Will isn't even Oliver's biological son). So, when you put that in perspective, his bout of jealousy in episode 4 makes a little sense.

(also I find it incredibly endearing ngl)

I want to talk about the evolution of Theo's appearance.

I mean, look at that glow up! That doesn't even look like the same actor, let alone character.

In season 1 he looks a lot like his teenage self: kind of greasy.

Mabel, Tim, and Oscar looked younger in their flashbacks. And to me at least, Theo really didn't. Out of all of them, he's been given the least opportunity to change, to grow up.

Then in season 2 (really just 2x07; in 2x04 when he's talking to his father he looks like his season 1 self) he looks more mature and put together. He's less awkward, more free.

In season 3, the trend continues and it's no longer subtle. He looks quite different, older for sure. He's more relaxed. We see him engage with his friend and his interests, have more fun.

He looks a lot like his dad, while Teddy is just a painting in the back of Uma's closet nowhere to be seen.

I'm obsessed with how the farther removed Theo is from Teddy the more grown up and well he looks, and I'm obsessed with how he looks so much more like his dad in a season where we don't even hear about them interacting.

(I'm also curious if, upon interacting more with his dad, Theo will look more disheveled, to show backsliding.)

I'm obsessed with how he suddenly looks a lot more like Will.

To be clear I don't think whatever symbolism is there in the glasses + beard addition (on some level we can't help but become our parents no matter how hard we try?) is necessarily intentional— I'd have to see season 4 before forming an opinion for sure, but I do think it's more likely that it's just a normal look for James Caverly and the time skip between seasons meant that it wouldn't be weird for Theo to look pretty different. Plus, they've now set him up as a potential love interest for Mabel, so he should probably look as attractive as possible.

But still, in a show that has an ongoing theme of family, it's all very interesting. I think season 4 will have a siblings theme of sorts (posts about why). I'm hopeful that Teddy will return and we'll finally see Theo and Will interact. (Note: as far as I know, Nathen Lane's absence and Ryan Broussard's low screen time were more so due to scheduling conflicts then creative decisions.) I'm also hopeful that we'll see a little more of Will's feelings about Oliver's heart attack and the circumstances leading up to it— because once again, Oliver prioritized the theater over his family, which is, ya'know, the root of all their issues.

And speaking of conflict, we've seen a plotline about how DNA doesn't matter (Oliver and Will,) and one about connecting with biological family after a long and painful separation (Loretta and Dickie.) I wonder if season 4 will have something of a push-pull between the two. Considering the actors' chemistry, it's hard not to imagine Theo and Will connecting if given the chance. (And I do think they'll get a chance at some point, or they wouldn't let the actors talk about it in the aftershows.) Given Teddy Dimas, it's hard not to imagine them having complicated feelings about that. Rounding back to the potential symbolism of Theo's new look re: (fear of; you can't help) becoming like one's father, Will experienced that in season 2 with his son's play. It's also been a theme/fear in Charles' life, so very much in these writers' wheelhouse.

There's no ending to this post, it's just a part of Theo's character arc I really enjoy, and I'm excited to see it continue.

Person A: "Are you... flirting with me?"

Person B: "Gods no! What on earth gave you that idea?"

Person A: "I mean... Have you heard yourself talk?"

my process of making ocs

i've just melted there (I melt and cry every time anyone speaks about Oliver's heart come on) and I have a theory (actually I already have it before the episode) or condider it to be my dream of Oliver acting fatherly with Theo and helping him financially somehow, probably offering him some job at the theatre (Oliver could still be compassionate to Teddy (after a small fight) despite the fact Teddy was sent to prison by him, Teddy threatened him, Teddy slept with his wife, Teddy was the real father of Will which gave Oliver a feeling that the most important part of his life is a lie and he failed and had nothing left, so yes, he is forgiving and Teddy still means a lot to him, so I don't think he can actually be harsher to Theo (despite he kinda kidnapped him once), he understands what make Theo to do what he did, so it wouldn't be out of character to try to fix things up where Teddy spoiled them)

and of Mabel ending up with Theo too

Oliver and Teddy during Splash! premiere.

(Before the disaster)

If Oliver Putnam had a nickle for every time he got his producer's son arrested for manslaughter committed via pushing someone from a high place, he'd have two nickles, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

theo copying his dad's mannerisms is the cutest thing

yall this bitch was NOT looking into his eyes..

Come on.

You already know

Kissing his sweetums <3

just a quick sketch of them... :)

Have we talked about this? Because if not, let me share my suffering with you.

You know the scene right before their heroic sacrifice?

Have you noticed that this bastard holds the photo RIGHT OVER WADE'S HEART? And what's worse, he keeps his hand RIGHT THERE throughout his entire speech about having no one to return to if he survives.

And to rub even more salt into the wound, there's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment where Wade looks at Logan's lips. And it’s precisely in THAT MOMENT, my friends, that Wade realizes Logan is now also part of that photo, and therefore, someone worth sacrificing himself for.

UPDATE: GUYS GUYS I just discovered it's MUCH WORSE, turns out WADE IS ALSO HOLDING THE PHOTO.

If you need me, I’ll be in a corner crying and throwing up.

logan and wade out at a gay bar

wade suggested it; logan heard “free drinks” and agreed

it’s loud, the floors are sticky, but wade is having a great time, twirling yukio on the dance floor and necking blowjob shots like he’s getting paid for it (it’s possible that logan watches him lick the whipped cream from his lips every single time with Rapt attention, but that’s his business)

logan’s not really feeling up to dancing, so he sits at the bar, pleasantly buzzed and watching wade glide his way through the crowd. eventually, someone approaches him, and they’re laying it on Thick. their eyes dart from logan’s eyes, to his beer-wet lips, to the bit of chest hair tufted above the neckline of his tank, to his biceps bulging out of his flannel, and it’s Not Fucking Subtle, but they seem harmless enough; he offers little in the way of responses, opting for noncommittal grunts or hums while his gaze remains trained on wade in the sea of bar-goers.

but, inevitably, the person takes logan’s aloofness as a game, an invitation to push a little further, like he’s playing hard to get — they rest a hand on his shoulder, dip their fingers beneath his collar, bat their lashes and lean close enough that logan can smell the liquor perfuming their breath with sharp clarity

“so, what’s your type, handsome?”

logan shrugs their hand off. raises the bottle in his hand, points at where wade is now tugging ellie into the fray, jubilant and pink with laughter even as ellie digs her heels into the ground and whips her head from side to side.

“the grumpy bald chick?” the person asks with a scowl.

yukio appears behind her girlfriend and starts pushing her forward; wade whoops triumphantly.

“bald guy yanking on the bald chick,” logan clarifies, and the insistent bargoer wrinkles their nose.

if he were anyone else, he probably wouldn’t hear the eugh that slips out of their liquor-loose mouth, but he isn’t, and he does, and it pisses him the fuck off.

so much so, in fact, that he slams his beer down on the bar hard enough to crack the glass, and marches over to where wade is still trying to get ellie to dance. he snakes an arm around his waist, pulls him backward, and plants a nasty kiss on him, right in the eye line of the now very pissy bargoer. their indignance rolls audibly over the crowd like fog before they stomp away, red-cheeked and irritated.

wade’s not complaining, and ellie is grateful for the distraction

my cock is haunted

i hope this is an okay-ish intro 🙏

I wanted to write about every Marty movie I've seen. And I thought I'd start with the Father of Bride movies but now all I can think about is Captain Ron 🤦‍♀️ So here we go.

I'm pretty sure that I've seen it with my parents somewhere in the 90s. My dad rented movies every week for us and this is one I always remembered. I haven't seen it in well... more than 25 years. Three weeks ago I've watched it for the first time since then. And yesterday happened something that hasn't happened to me in a looooong time. I didn't want to go to sleep and I REWATCHED a movie I've already seen a few days/weeks ago. I haven't done that since the early 00s. I just wanted to look at Marty for one and a half hour. Look at him and forget the shitty world outside. And it worked. The movie started and I was gone.

I love the intro scene. That little man in this biiiig coat walking through many people on their way to work with such a great soundtrack in the background. Everything screams "Those were the 90s!!" and I love it so so much.

We now learn that Martin Harvey inherits a boat which he wants to sail to Miami with his family. We meet his family and then we see the boat. Of course it's in a bad shape. Again: "90s movies rule!!!"

Captain Ron aka Kurt Russell enters the scene.

In that scene my wife entered our living room and constantly shook her head. Well not constantly but every now and then 😂

Now the journey begins and we see a lot of family fun, slapstick moments (which I like a lot when Marty does them) and a naked Marty which I like more than a lot (I received a loving and teasing "Uuuuuh!" instead of a headshake from my wife).

I have to admit that I love this movie. I laughed a lot and I like the characters. The humour gets me. I like it when Marty runs against things or falls.

Bonus: a wet Marty. Always a pleasure.

I don't think that I watched it for the last time 🥰

I never thought a Honda Odyssey could be so homoerotic
