We don't suffer from insanity; we enjoy every minute of it.

WAIT, MAYBE THERE IS NOT ENOUGH MISHA IN YOUR LIFE. [livejournal.com profile] callowyn and I can help you out. This is more from the 'verse where Jacob and Jimmy are twins who hunt things and save people. Growing up in Pontiac is never boring when you want to fuck your brother and have to kill werewolves after school! You can find previous installments under this tag.

Random Jacob Novak Fact of the Day: He picked the name Glaser because he and Jimmy were big "Starsky & Hutch" fans growing up. (Paul Michael Glaser played David Starsky.)


1x17, "hell house" prank war

HAIRY PALMS

6x09, 'clap your hands if you believe'

"nipples?"

6x15, meta episode. jacob has stage fright.


5x22-ish, FOR HOOOOOOOOOURS

jacob can name every single one. jimmy's the one who remembers the myths about them.




HIGH SCHOOL

the awkward adolescence, the lack of space, pouring bullets for their mom
sparring with each other was part of their training, of course they got too close
jacob got the growth spurt early and for a year was two inches taller than jimmy, and never lets him live it down
it's 'cause I drink my milk, he brags. jimmy kicks his feet out from under him.
sometimes jacob lets him win
sometimes jimmy lets him win

jimmy hanging out with some high school friends and someone makes a crack about jacob. jimmy's like, "hey."

jimmy defends his brother when shit-talking comes up, but y'know.
maybe they have a point
people made fun of jacob but were wary of him too on account of that time some guys shoved him around and jacob totally kicked their asses

school picture day was an exercise in one-upmanship

oh if only they went to school everyday dressed like this
and then they switch hats and no one knows


"yeah, mom, we're fine, why aren't you back yet?"



MIT ERA


this is why jacob has no friends

MAYBE JACOB RUNS THE RADIO SHOW AS A JOKE, LIKE, TONGUE-IN-CHEEK LISTENING TO MONSTER STORIES, BUT ACTUALLY IT IS TRYING TO FIND HIMSELF NEW HUNTS
TO FIND HUNTS AND TO TROLL IDIOTS
HIS TWO FAVORITE THINGS
jimmy, listening, is always on the verge of panicking and yelling at jacob for giving them away
but does he perk up sometimes when jacob says something jimmy taught him?
or vaguely mentions 'my brother'
HAS JIMMY EVER CALLED THE RADIO SHOW AND HUNG UP BEFORE JACOB COULD ANSWER?
AMELIA IS LIKE "WHO WAS THAT"
"WRONG NUMBER"
JIMMY HAS THE NUMBER MEMORIZED
THANKS TO JACOB'S VOICE SAYING IT AT THE END OF EVERY SHOW

does jacob ever get really hurt on one of his boston hunts and FINALLY CALLS?
amelia picks up the phone

jacob doesn't leave a message.
"jimmy, is that you?"
JIMMY DID YOU CALL EARLIER?
jimmy knows who it is
stomach drops
ames, what did I say?
nothing. you didn't say anything.
jimmy needs to knoooooooow
but what if jimmy's wrong, what if this is a stupid misunderstanding
why would jacob call?
what did he want to say?
does he want to come back?
should i call him back?
jimmy thinks about it all week
jacob will call again, he thinks, if it's that important
was jacob calling to apologize?
should he apologize?
maybe it's time
yeah maybe jacob has the right idea, maybe it's time, maybe jimmy should--
no.
no, he's not the one who left
fuck that, jimmy's not the one who left
and then he thinks of That Summer
traces the number to a hospital just outside of boston
shit shit shit shit shit
picks up the phone every time it rings, even when he knows it's just telemarketers.
"jimmy, what's the matter?"
nothing, nothing, everything's fine


it's not stalking, jimmy just wants to make sure his brother is doing okay


mid-presentation at the conference, jacob falters for a second. did he just see who he thought he saw?



SEASON 1

"DONT CALL ME JIMBO."
the nickname jars, no one has called him that in a long time
jacob too, it feels strange in his mouth
they both stumble on the moment. for a moment they are exposed.
neither notice the other falter, too intent on covering their own vulnerability.

"get your feet off the table." "okay, jimbo. "stop calling me jimbo." "okay, jimbo."
IT'S JIMMY
sure jimbo
whatever, glaser
...jimmy may have just depressed himself by accident.



okay, college boy, get to the point
"jimmy, look, this isn't that hard, if you just derive–"

jimmy doesn't understand that reference
he has picked up basic calculus in sheer self-defence


it was jimmy who forsook hunting when he married amelia

he falls back into the life like he never left it

jacob and jimmy are both still a little wary and confused
sneaking glances. feeling things out. what does he want from me?
jacob isn't sure what's fallen into his lap
blessing, curse, mistake, destiny, regression
does he and should he still want this
and what can be done about it if he does
and most importantly, what does jimmy feel?
jimmy, locked inside his grief
even ignoring the rest, jacob has never been able to resist a puzzle
what happens if i do this?
if i say this?
trial and error, process of elimination
if you take jimmy apart, what is left?
if you take jimmy apart, what is left of jacob?



And hey, remember the MIT Physics Macaw? The one that Jacob knows is actually a cockatoo but keeps calling a macaw to piss off Professor Kurt Mendel?



Jacob's sole confessor has gone meme, courtesy of Cally's graphicking. I was gonna link to the memegenerator template so you guys can make some more and submit it to the Physics Macaw tumblog that has mysteriously appeared, but the template seems to have vanished... Oh well. Here, have one more while we figure it out. ETA: Figured! Cally has reuploaded the Physics Macaw meme template for us all.

[identity profile] metonomia.livejournal.com 2011-03-18 07:03 pm (UTC)(link)
YES YES STEVIE AND SHE'S SO CUTE AND HE'S SO FLUENT AND HE STILL CALLS HER DARLING EVEN WHILE SIGNING MY GOD HE IS THE MOST PERFECT

SHOO, FLY, DON'T BOTHER ME

I CANNOT EVEN KURRRRRRRRRRRT ALSO HIS DREAM OF A LIFE WITH ANGELA AND THEIR SONNNNN DDDDDDD:

[identity profile] twoskeletons.livejournal.com 2011-03-18 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
AAAAAAAAAAHHHH SHOO FLY *____* I MAY NEED TO REWATCH THIS EPISODE POST-HASTE

I like how they play the Kurt/Angela dynamic here. I feel like in other kinds of TV shows or movies, Angela would be a guy and Kurt a girl.

WAIT TIL YOU SEE THE EPISODE THAT'S LIKE BUILDINGSTIEL AND BIBLE CAMP ALL IN ONE GO

[identity profile] metonomia.livejournal.com 2011-03-18 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
YES YES I AGREE ABOUT THE DYNAMIC OF THEIR RELATIONSHIP. I LOVE IT AND I LOVE THEM AND KURT MAKES ME HAPPYYYY

OH GOD I CANNOT WAIT I'M ON THE ONE CALLED 'RAPTURE' RIGHT NOW

[identity profile] twoskeletons.livejournal.com 2011-03-18 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
YOU ARE IN LUCK, THE BUILDINGSTIEL/BIBLE CAMP EPISODE IS THE NEXT EPISODE AFTER RAPTURE!!!!

The kids on Rapture kind of does remind me of the garrison though.

OH GOD I LOVE SPRING BREAK I CANNOT WAIIIIIIIIIIIIT


oh, also I love Neil's girlfriend as a recurring character, though for some reason i keep waiting for her to show up as a synthetic

[identity profile] twoskeletons.livejournal.com 2011-03-18 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
I like Holly as a character, but I cannot help but be vaguely skeeved out that this is really an older Neil with a high schooler.

I also can't help but think like... okay, for example: Kurt supposedly published those books and papers, right? And won those awards? If he did those before, could he find it in himself to do it again? Wouldn't he have moved on? If he doesn't have the same priorities now as he did five years ago, how can he achieve the same things?

[identity profile] metonomia.livejournal.com 2011-03-18 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it's like, if Neil wasn't such a good guy it'd be really bad, and the only thing that saves him is that he can look both ages and I dunno, yeah, it's weird

Kuuuuurt. Okay so I know Chuck is our main character out of the main group, but really Kurt is the main character. He cares *so much* about the world, I think more than the rest of them who have more personal immediate struggles going on to save specific people or relationships. Kurt has his Angela thing, and his 'get rich' thing, but overall he consistently sees the bigger picture. And I think that would be his motivation to do all his research and writing over again, to make sure he's in the write top-physicist circles, to have the ability to be looking out of end-of-the-world synthetic stuff. I think it'd be hard, and there would be days when he would get so frustrated, more than the rest of them, maybe, except for Neil on a different level, with the set back, the lack of knowledge the science world has and he's sitting there like yes yes, we've known these things for years but he has to go through it all again, and I think it'd be terrible, but I think he'd be able to do it.

In conclusion: KURTTTT. (this is my cry during Glee basically whenever Chris Colfer's face is onscreen, and I think it is wholly appropriate to my new favorite Kurt as well)

FAVORITE KURT

[identity profile] twoskeletons.livejournal.com 2011-03-19 12:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I have a different read on Kurt than you do. I think he's more selfish, and he cares about the world insofar as it can serve him. Well, it starts out that way, and then it comes undone due to having a nakama with whom he has to SAVE THE WORLD with, and I imagine that shoots anyone out of selfishness right quick. I'm not saying Kurt isn't compassionate, I'm just saying I don't think it's his defining trait. He's quite ambitious, and is warm and direct. I think it's more like... he cares about the world directly in front of him - Angela, Stevie, his world-saving friends etc. Those he cares about a lot. Um. Hmm. idk, i've never metaed at length about Kurt before. I'm not sure what my deep feelings on him are beyond :DDD BALTHAFACE IN SPACE. He wears a mask of hedonism a lot, but inside he has a lot of feelings. Maybe you're right.

OMG METO HAVE YOU SEEN HIS TWEET OF RIDICULOUS SHIRTLESS RIDICULOUSNESS and apparently SEBALECKI!?? SEBASTIAN ROCHE IS A RIDICULOUS MAN.
