QUANTUM LEAP — SEASON 2 (October 4 2023)
In honor of the queapboot being cancelled, a collection of my favorite moments from it from memory but in no particular order
1. When Hannah asked Ben if he thought it was possible for someone to love two people at once, hardlaunching the idea of polyamory
2. Magic lying to a random government official by telling her that Ben could save her dead brother if she allowed the program to continue with the full knowledge that this wouldn’t happen.
3. “His wife, and Al.”
4. Ben and Addison breaking up and Addison being out of the imaging chamber for like half a season ❤️ allowing the side characters to be actual characters.
5. When we had a Very Special Episode about the LA riots and Jenn dropped the line that she “went to a school that wasn’t afraid to teach black history”. Notably, the next episode she did not know what operation paperclip was.
6. Ian saying they were better than everyone else because they were the only one who cares about Ben
7. The return of the evil leapers as like a concept. And by leapers I mean one guy.
8. One time Ben wore an old timey flight stewardess outfit and it was pretty hot
9. The season 2 premiere just being a suicide squad including a guy who’s crime was being gay and he comes out after standing on a land mine but they all use the power of friendship to save him
10. The season 2 finale being inexplicably amazing. Like season 2 was generally pretty good but the finale was GREAT. Also the genuinely legendary haterism of the seasons big bad was a sight to behold he was about to reverse flash it.
11. When Ben leaped into a woman for the first time and was really, really excited about having a vagina
12. BEN SONG BEING SUCH A #ALLY THAT HE INVENTS BEING NONBINARY
happy lesbian visibility week!!
i love you lesbians 🫶
Since it's now confirmed by A³ that Agatha just fucked around in history and was involved in various tragedies, I can't prove that she shot Archduke Franz Ferdinand in the Marvel universe but like... I can't prove she didn't either...
Not to fandompost in 2023 but because it's October, I'm constantly thinking about RHPS and then I thought about that picture of the Star Trek: Enterprise cast dressed up as characters from Rocky Horror,
and of course, Scott Bakula always turns this young man's fancy back to Quantum Leap. Except it made me think of Quantum Leap from the year 2022.
So here are my headcanons for what costume each character would wear based on their vibes because there's no way that Ian isn't a huge fan and there's no way that the QL Project team didn't sit down for a movie night (or go to a midnight showing) and dress up one year before Ben leaped.
Ian: They're first on the list because they were the first one where I knew it. The obvious answer is Frank-n-Furter, but I think it would be Riff Raff. Frank is too obvious for Ian, cause yeah the fashion, but given that Riff Raff is the put-upon servant, I would imagine Ian identifies with him as a put-upon tech genius. Also, I think Ian is the only one capable of hitting that note perfectly in "Time Warp" when Riff Raff goes "Like you're under sedation!"
Ben & Addison: Smart answer is of course, Brad and Janet, they're the couple, but they don't have a big enough cast to fill out all the roles and honestly I think that it would make more sense for Ben to be Rocky and Addison to be Janet, because I think Addison would get a kick out of Ben being in a gold speedo. (Plus I bet Ben makes some sort of joke about it being the most mortifying outfit he's ever worn, which is hilarious in hindsight once he becomes a leaper)
Jenn: I admit, because we know the least about her, this one is tough, but honestly with her fashion sense, I would say that either Columbia or Magenta is a safe bet. But I also can't say that Jenn wouldn't totally rock a Frank-n-Furter costume.
Magic: Clearly the least into the whole thing, I think Ian would try to goad Magic into being Frank-n-Furter but he'd probably end up as Dr. Scott, because it's just a suit and a wheelchair. Plus Magic's already got the stache.
Hello this is the dumbest thing I’ve ever spent an hour of my life on
Would you be willing to do a Good Omens fic rec list?
Oh yeah for sure!!! I haven't actually read that~~ much GO fic, but here are a couple of highlights
Crown of Thorns is the first fic I ever read for GO and it's. Um. A bit of a doozy at *checks again* 275k but it's also arguably the definitive ineffable husbands buy a cottage fic. It's book canon so it's subtly different than the show, but it's soooo good my guys
Another long 'un at nearly 100k, but Demonology and the Tri-Phasic Model of Trauma: An Integrative Approach is just fucking fantastic. Crowley goes to therapy is the general conceit. I sobbed.
Adventures In Attempting To Purchase A Book From That Weird Old Soho Bookshop, A. Z. Fell & Co. and The Official Mr Fell Quarantine Thread are funky short social media aus about people just trying to figure out wtf is up with this weird ass bookshop and its owner and I just love them so much
it's a new craze is about ineffable husbands starting a podcast
And finally, Demon and Angel Professors is an extremely long series of soooo many goddamn shorter fics. No seriously there's 200 fics. The good news is that it's completed. The bad news is I've been reading it for two years. But it's a truly wonderful au which is dubiously/purposefully ambiguously supernatural where nearly everyone you know and love from s1 is either a professor or a student. A lot of it is about how long it takes people to figure out that Azira and Crowley are husbands. It's super funny. They keep adopting children, both literally and metaphorically. Some of my favorite characterization of Crowley in particular. Seriously it's so good
Bonus: I dug through my book blog and found the original fic rec post where I found CoT. I didn't end up reading most of these fics, but you could also check those out, esp if you like book canon!
Have fun 💜
i just made this for myself, but multiple people have told me they find it really useful so i thought id share it!
On our way to 100! <3 so far every single work has been fantastic! Congrats!
hi, I'm still trying to get myself out of credit card debt and provide for myself + family. I'm trapped in an overdraft cycle that I can't get out of and I need to try to work on clearing my maxed out cards so I can cancel them. I'm a mixed two-spirit person working full-time but it's still not enough and I'm just overwhelmed by it.
I'm thinking of also opening fic commissions so I'm gonna tag fandoms but please don't tag, just reblog if you vote!!
My goal is $300 (lowest card maxed out) and I appreciate any help/visibility you can give me. I'll link my p4yp4l (only way to send funds here) below. Please spread if you can, thank you for everything y'all do for me <3
