TC tag game
Tagged by @spudodell Thank you so much for tagging me!
Rules: Answer the questions and tag other TC fans!
1. "He would not fucking say that" only they did and it's canon. When/who?
"'Not so much bloody bitters this time, Boo.' Boo, thought Laurie."
This is soā¦ out of character somehow, I was just as dumbfounded as Laurie was š Considering their relationship (R & Bās) it feels extra cringe, too.
2. Did they kiss in the study? Yes/no + why you are 100% correct about this.
Oh hell yes, I never had doubts about it. Not least because Renault is the queen of ellipses. A lot of excellent analysis has been written by the fandom on this topic, so Iāll just repeat the main argument: The scene would have never had the kind of impact on Laurie if the kiss never happened. I wouldnāt agree there happened more than a kiss, though, I remember reading it somewhere.
3. Mandatory question about Ralph's alleged tattoos.
Hmm, as much as I like tattoos as art, Ralph just doesn't strike me as the type for it. I think, he cares too much about his neat appearancesāspotless means spotless. Iām not sure if it was very common among officer ranks at that time, too.
4. 53 vs 59 edition: quote a line or paragraph that is better in the edition you like the least.
I canāt say that I dislike one or the other, but I tend to reread the 59 rather than the 53 edition, simple because thatās the one I read first. The 53 is more unpolished, but also more honest, I think. One of the passages I like:
āDon't insult my intelligence. [ā¦] After a moment he added, "What in hell is there to laugh at?"
"Please, Lanyon, I'm sorry, please."
"Used I to say that?"
"Of course you did. Benson used it as a gag in the House play and it brought down the roof.ā
I think this is one of the very rare moments Ralph felt a little embarrassed and we were robbed of it!
5. Which TC character would feel right at home here on tumblr dot com?
Laurie, the nerd š wouldnāt you agree? Heād be a fic writer, too. (Remember the passage about Baranova in the 53 edition? āWhile not committing himself to being actually in love, Laurie had a serial fantasy about her, thinly disguised as the plot of a novel he was some day going to write.ā)
6. Tag yourself at Alec's birthday party.
As much as it pains me to admit: Laurie. I always feel out of place at parties.
7. Post a TC meme.
I canāt find a proper picture meme right now, but one of my fav posts about TC is this one https://www.tumblr.com/ralphlanyon/735073429427994624/the-charioteer-is-about-a-dog-person-learning-to š thanks for this gem @ralphlanyon
8. Easy to talk about who deserved better. Who deserved worse?
Iād say Bunny, because heās the only major character I canāt deal with. Oh, apart from maybe Hazell.
9. You can break the fourth wall (at any point in the novel) and say a single sentence to our protagonist, Laurie Odell. What do you say?
Laurie, darling, there is love and there is fiction, and itās not the same.
10. What's a question you have about TC? One you haven't found an answer for yet.
What the hell happened to Ralph right after the sacking.
I didnāt spend much time here lately, so I missed whoās been tagged and who wasnāt yet, so Iām tagging everyone who didnāt participate yet š please do, Iād love to read your answers and I need to finde those that I missed somehow š„²
What are your top 5 television shows of all time?
I was tagged by @tragediegh, thank you! š
1 Hannibal (NBC)
This show is ART and POETRYā¢, imho one of the best shows ever made
2 Interview with the Vampire (AMC)
May I just repeat the previous statement? Because that's it, the same + my favorite Ricean vampires
3 Black Sails (Starz)
Acting, storytelling, dramaāthis show excels in all of it; it's also the perfect opposite of queerbaiting :) but let's be completely honest here, all I need is a gay captain to get obsessed with a piece of media
4 The Exorcist (Fox)
Yet another brillant series cancelled mid-show, starring Ben Daniels and Alfonso Herrera, they had such chemistry š„²
5 The Untamed / Chen Qing Ling
A visually stunning, cute & heartbreaking (at the same time) Chinese BL show that somehow survived the censoring before it aired, hurray!
6 Honorary mention: Torchwood (BBC)
Iām watching it right now so it has yet to pass the test of time for an all-time favorite, but itās certainly very entertaining, alsoāyet again, there's a gay captain (albeit without a ship) and that's apparently all I need
Tagging @ralphlanyon, @mademoiselle-red, @argyleheir, @eclare1000 and everyone else who wants to play :) no pressure!!
