JJ Sneed Review

For my review of the whump in this show, check here. This is my review of the show in general, and Colin O’Donoghue’s performance in it <3

I have to say... I am so, so, so proud of our boy. I swear, every single thing I see him in, he just gets better and better and better. I’m just constantly impressed by him, and I love seeing him grow as an actor and expand his repertoire of genres and styles and moods and accents. He’s just such a fun actor to follow, and such a talented guy. I love him so much, it’s silly.

I was really impressed with his accent in this. He sounded smooth as butter through the whole thing, and I even forgot that he was DOING an accent, because it sounded so natural - which is really the goal, innit?

AND THE CHARM. Oh, man. We already know from Colin’s role as Hook that he can certainly pull off the whole “charming ne’er-do-well” swagger, but there’s an added playfulness in JJ Sneed that is delightful to see. Watching him splash around in the river, inviting Maddie to join him and teasing about the jack rabbit he has to clean... I mean, our ovaries never stood a chance XD

I was surprised to not see JJ Sneed’s bare butt at any point, since we saw the casting call for a butt double that seemed to fit the episode’s theme and Colin’s physical characteristics. But from what I can see in the episode, the river scenes are the only “nudity” in the episode, and it’s all from the waist up - and appears to all be Colin, himself. Bless him <3 He’s beautiful <3 And yes, we do see the sacred navel, although it’s from quite a distance away. We also get a lovely glimpse of his treasure trail, and an absolutely adorable dusting of fine hair on his lower back. BLESS <3

Speaking of porn appreciating Colin’s physical form... MY GODS, his forearm game is strong here. JJ’s got his shirtsleeves rolled up in almost every scene, and Colin’s got some great forearms. Love ‘em. Love him. Love <3

And the gunplaaaaaaay. We’ve seen Colin handle guns multiple times before, but he just seems so natural with them in this - which works great for this character. Seeing him wield two pistols in the wagon robbery scene is practically a sinful delight. He just looks so effortlessly cavalier whilst maintaining full control of his weapons - and it really, really helps to sell this character.

As for the character... Wow. He’s another jerk, of course, because Colin seems to have a soft spot for playing bad boys ;) Which is great, actually, because I have a soft spot for watching him play them ;) But unlike most of Colin’s previous roles, this guy’s just an unapologetic bastard. He lies, he cheats, he steals, he kills people, he lies and cheats about stealing and killing people, I mean... He’s just a bad guy through and through - but he’s SO much fun to watch! Colin just effortlessly rolls from charming rogue to fiendish devil and back again in the blink of an eye and you never know which side you’re getting until it’s too late.

JJ’s an absolute delight to watch, just pure western bad boy fun, and the entire episode is a really fun ride to go on. I can’t wait for more people to see this, and enjoy it, and appreciate Colin’s work in it. I’m just really proud of our boy <3

JJ Sneed Whump Review

Colin O’Donoghue is a gift <3

I confess, I was a bit disappointed when the “nursed back to health” part of the song ended up so short and kinda glossed over, but the whump at the end... Man. Wow. Gosh. Perfect. LOVE IT.

The injuries themselves are great. Shooting out his kneecaps? Holy hell. Painful as all shit, but also renders him completely helpless. LOVE IT.

And then the bounty hunter with a grudge comes up and fucking STEPS on his knee... Oh, shit. That’s sadistic and delightful. And the open ending leaves us free to imagine all kinds of other delights that Deke could engage in with a completely helpless JJ Sneed at his mercy. LOVE IT.

But the best part? Colin’s acting. I swear, you guys, he is a whumpee for the ages, that man. In the earlier gunshot scene and especially in the ending... His grunts and groans and screams are all PERFECT. His pain faces are a gift from above, I swear, so authentic but also so damn handsome at the same time. Like, some actors can really deliver believable pain, but it kinda makes their face scrunch up in a way that makes them less attractive. But Colin... Gods, do I ever love that man. I swear, he looks even handsomer when he pulls pain faces. It’s like some kind of sorcery that I can’t even understand.

I’m really, really happy with this, you guys. GREAT whump. I can’t wait to make/share some GIFs for all my whumpy friends <3

Storage 24 Audio Liveblog!

Okay! Here I am with another fun-filled liveblog for you guys! Well. Actually, I’m not sure how “fun-filled” it actually is. As it turns out, descriptive audio is a lot duller than I anticipated. They really only narrate the absolute bare minimum of what’s going on, so there’s not much to share.

This particular film is narrated by a very m-o-n-o-t-o-n-e woman with a British accent. I was curious when it began if she’d get more animated in her narration as the action picked up, but she didn’t. If you’ve always wanted to hear someone say things like, “The maintenance man’s chest and throat have been ripped open. Blood is pumping out.” as if they couldn’t be more bored by it... Well, this descriptive film might be right up your alley XD

There’s some other things I noticed whilst listening to this. I believe that they strip out all unnecessary sounds and music, which makes the dialogue stand out a lot more. It’s so much easier to listen to conversations, and I even think I caught some lines I’d missed during my other watchings of the movie. Or, for whatever reason, they just didn’t really stand out those times. The lack of extra noise also made Colin’s voice even more enjoyable to listen to <3

All of that said, there’s nothing very groundbreaking in here, but it might be interesting, nonetheless :) So here goes...

LITD Part 4 Liveblog!

This is the last one, guys! The episode’s over here :)

“It’s never too laaaaate for a rainbow to shiiiiiiine...” Yeah, it’s going to take a lot of fixing to do that, buddy. We only have 33 minutes. But Colin’s in this episode, so anything is possible!

WTF, Gary. You act like you have no idea things have gotten as bad as they’ve gotten in your relationship. Like, did you think you could just fucking walk away and come back a couple weeks later and everything would be fine? She literally told you otherwise in the last episode. ARE YOU EVEN WATCHING THIS SHOW, GARY?!?! What the fuck, Gary!?!

Oh look, now it’s time for these two imbeciles to be imbeciles.

Well, you deserved that, Mark. Dingus.

HEY LOOK, IT’S AN ENTERPRISING YOUNG LAD NAMED COLIN O’DONOGHUE, PLAYING A SLIGHTLY-LESS ENTERPRISING YOUNG LAD NAMED PETER SHEERIN! Yeah? Why did no one tell us Peter’s had a last name all this time?!

Hahahahahaha, hold up, what the fuck is happening here.

Me too, Shane. Me too.

I now understand why this show is called Love Is the Drug, because the people who made it were obviously high and are hoping you are, too.

Anyway, okay, so that’s the kick in the pants THIS moron needed.

OHH IT’S COLIN AGAIN I LOVE HIM SO MUCH, LOOK AT HIM. He’s drinking. He’s moving around people. He’s drinking some more. Look at him making sure he gets every last drop. Haha, Peter, you mess. I love you, baby.

I’m pretty sure he’s gay, but that’s okay, he can call me anyway.

HAHAHAHAHAHA I forgot he smokes a joint in here XD Cutie :D

I take back everything I ever said about the horrible buzzcut Colin has in this show. I mean, it’s probably not the BEST look for Colin, no, but he’s still handsome. I’d still bang him. You can’t take the handsome out of this man, no matter what you do to him. It’s just... still there.

Oh, look. A cliche misunderstanding to follow the all-night running after the love of his life at the last minute cliche. This is kinda cheesy, but hey, they had a lot of fuck ups to fix in very little time. Gotta hit a few cliches. It’s better than the “Someone completely unrelated to us died, so let’s give our love another chance” thing going on elsewhere in this show. NOT NAMING NAMES, GARY, YOU FUCKING ASSHAT.

Also, this looks like a wildly illegal parking job right here:

Lol, oh, that’s a new one. After throwing all those cliches around, they pull a “motion sickness hangover puke job over the railing into the river leads to true love” out of their ass. UNEXPECTED!!!

Aaaaaaaaaaand a happy ending for all!!! :D That concludes my liveblog for Love Is the Drug, which is now available for ALL of Colin’s fans to watch! :D

Thanks again to whoever it was that uploaded it, and to the blessed soul who messaged me to let me know about it!!! She’s not part of the Tumblr fandom, so I’m not calling her out by name - but I am SO happy she sent me word of this, so that I could watch it for myself and share it with you guys!!!

LITD Part 3 Liveblog!

Oh, this episode is starting with some lovely scenic shots of Drogheda. It really does look quite lovely, and I’m not just saying that because Colin seems to work for the tourism board and I’m trying to gain his favor. It actually does look like a lovely place <3

And that’s an equally lovely... tampon hat.

Okay, so I realize that Ireland’s another whole country and everything, and they do things differently there, and I really shouldn’t judge or question things that seem weird to me, a non-Irish person, simply because they are unusual or unknown to me, like tampon hats and communal shirts, but...

WHY IS THIS DOG ON THE FUCKING ROOF

Oh, hey, this is one of my favorite songs right here. Roads. Oh, wow. Ouch. Shane, you fucking prick. Go back in there and do something. Doesn’t even matter what, just do something that isn’t what you just did.

“Hello? Is this the Trojan help line?!” T_T That BabyColin connection my brain has made with this boy is not turning out to be anything other than hilarious. 10/10. Would make this connection again.

Aw, that’s cute. Embarrassing, but cute, as long as no one’s watchi-

Oh. Oh, wow. So that’s what we’re doing now. Okay. Wow.

On a totally related note, this show is amazing and the entire country of Ireland should be really, really proud of themselves.

Oh, my, God, Mark. Seriously. “How have you been feeling?” You can’t just ask your one-night-stand how she’s feeling to try to figure out if she’s pregnant or not. You gotta get right in there and just ask her if she’s gotten her period yet or what, ‘cos you’re a busy lad and you need to know.

Oh, wow, that’s really shitty timing there, Gary, and I think honesty might’ve been a better course than, you know, the one you took.

Same goes for you, Shane, you fucking dishtowel.

OH MY FUCKING GOD, MARK, WHAT THE FUCK, I WAS KIDDING. You should never ever ever ever be allowed to make your own decisions ever again in your entire life and I apologize to BabyColin for ever thinking he might’ve one day been anything like you, because you are a complete imbecile. I’ve also never laughed so hard at someone in my life, so thanks for that.

“Kate, if you’re there, we just want to say we love you very much, and all of our sons are jackasses at the moment, maybe it’s a phase or something, at any rate, we’d like to invite you over to watch us eat ice cream...”

I thought Colin was in three of these, but I guess he’s only in two :(

LITD Part 2 Liveblog!

Yep, this is still what we’re doing! Watch it here!

LMAO at the dad’s nightmare. Or is it a nightmare? XD

Oh, I like this song :D

“Does he masturbate?” “God, I hope not!” LOL HER FACE THO

“I love you.” “Thanks.” This show just keeps getting better, lol?

Oh, I meant to mention this in the last part, but the littlest Kirwan boy, Mark, gives me Super Awkward BabyColin vibes and it’s adorable? Like, I just want to hug him to my bosom and be like, “you’ll flower into a beautiful young man one day, and all the ladies will want you and your cute little fuzzy tush.” And then ruffle his hair and send him on his way to meet his destiny T_T

Wait, hold up a second...

Guys, I think I just found Drogheda’s own Marilyn Manson right here. “Fuck off, Brian.” Wait, wait. Maybe it actually IS Marilyn Manson XD

No, it’s not Marilyn Manson. He has an Irish accent.

Mmm... Quality music. Oh, Mark. LOL. Even Irish Marilyn Manson is scandalized by your sucking. You know you done fucked up when that happens.

I’m still not 100% sure that’s not Marilyn Manson, by the way.

Also, this is my new favorite show, and Colin’s not even IN this one.

Watching Gary try to pick a shirt to wear to the club has given me an epiphany. I don’t think Colin only owning a few shirts is so much a Colin thing as it is, maybe, an Irish thing. Like, I think maybe the entire country only owns a few different shirts and they just sort of rotate them around amongst the male population. That’s why Colin is lost when he’s not in Ireland, because he doesn’t have access to the communal shirts and has to steal clothing from the set of his latest projects in order to cover his cute little bod.

He also misses Irish Marilyn Manson. It’s only natural.

You guys, Irish Marilyn Manson is onstage now. This is getting weird. Like, they’re showing him too much for this to just be a joke on the fact that Ireland has its own Marilyn Manson. Is this actually Marilyn Manson? Like, is this some kind of weird trick? I don’t think he has an Irish accent anymore.

IRISH MARILYN MANSON, WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME

“Do I have to spell it out for ya?” Well, you probably should spell it out. BabyColin Mark seems like the kind of bloke who would really appreciate that, actually. Bless his adorable little clueless heart T_T

Aw, man. The Kirwan boys are just fucking up all over tonight, and I know why. It’s because Colin’s not in this episode to infuse it with his light and all-round good form. Oh, at least Gary didn’t go home with the girl, and I don’t think they kissed. I thought they were going to, but they didn’t. Oh, there goes Mark, though. And Shane, good old Shane, at least he’s not fucking u- WHAT THE FUCK, SHANE, ISTG, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!

Okay, so the episode’s over, let’s see the damage: 3/5 Kirwans have gotten laid, 3/4 Kirwan relationships are in shambles, 0 Colins have been enjoyed, and there is absolutely no mention of Irish Marilyn Manson (or regular Marilyn Manson) in the closing credits, as far as I can tell.

LITD Part 1 Liveblog!

Yay! Come watch with me here!

So... Colin only has a small role in this series, but he’s adorable and I love him like a certifiably crazy person, so I am ridiculously excited for this. Also, it seems like this is actually a really super cute show anyway. And you can see a lot of Drogheda in it, too. Very nice <3

Colin first shows up as Peter in the 33rd minute of part 1! He’s adorable, lol, I love him and am adopting him immediately. Thank you. Peter is such a goober, and the scene afterwards with Shane and Lisa is pretty funny, lol.

Then Peter shows up again at the 40 minute mark, being a HARD LAD D: He’s all glowering and threatening and... and I can’t even, you guys, this is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. I literally had to pause the show to cover my face with my hands and giggle like a schoolgirl, lol.

He’s back again, just before the 42 minute mark, standing at the bottom of the stairs and being a haaaaaaaaaard lad again D: Oh my God, I can’t take it. I literally cannot... OH MY FUCKING GOD, YOU GUYS. “I’m just trying to figure out which one of you hairy bastards reminds me most of me mickey.” I’m dead. I’m officially dead. I’m literally dying over here; I laughed so hard I gave myself a coughing fit. What the... This is priceless.

I love you, Colin O’Donoghue. You fill my life with endless joy T_T

We, as a fandom, haven’t truly lived before this point, when we get to see Colin Peter compare three huge biker dudes to his hairy willy.

SHANE’S FACE IS MY FACE:

We don’t get to see the fight that ensues, but I’m sure it’s one for the ages, as it’s just smart-arsed Peter against these three huge hairy penis like dudes, and they’re all so fucking livid, and now Lisa and Shane are shoveling Peter into a cab and he’s like a Pomeranian that thinks it’s a Rottweiler. I CAN’T EVEN, SOMEONE HELP ME, I LOVE HIM <3

Lisa’s “Just get out, you.” LOL :D Peter is so fucking gone, lol, I love Colin’s face and the faces he makes with his face when he makes faces. He’s so cute when he’s playing a drunk guy, lol, like that’s the perfect “And another thing... No, there isn’t another thing, but AND ANOTHER THING” drunk face. Oh, wow, now he’s just puking all over the front steps, illustrating that infamous threshold where drunk becomes too drunk. Nice one, Peter. And now they’re locked out and poor Peter’s just passed out on the step with vomit on his face. Oh my gosh, you complete mess of a human being, I love you?

“What are you doing down there?” LOL, this show is super cute, though.

...and now I’m laughing at the phone message Gary just got XD

Peter’s gone :( He fucked off somewhere while they were sleeping. Peter, where did you go? Why did you leave me? Don’t you know I love you?!? I’m watching the last few minutes of this like Rose at the end of Titanic, when she’s got no voice left and she’s going, “Come back! Come baaack!” in that tiny little non-voice, because Peter’s left and nothing will ever be the same again T_T

Ope! Show’s over! This got pretty long, so I’ll make one for each part <3

OUAT 3x05: Rewatch Liveblog

Hello, my friends! It is I, Killian-Whump, here with another Rewatch Liveblog.

This one's for episode 3x05, "Good Form" - and let me tell you right now, it might be awhile before you see another one, because it will probably take me 15 years to GIF all of the whump, angst and sexy faces that appear in this episode.

BUT BEFORE THAT HAPPENS!!!

I gotta watch the episode. So let's settle in, click the link below... and do just that.

OUAT 3x04: Rewatch Liveblog

Hey guys! I'm back again with another rewatch liveblog. Man, I'm kinda storming through S3 so far, due to the lack of Killian whump in a lot of these early episodes. Don't worry, I'm sure I'll make up for that by spending a quarter of a century on the next episode :P

But before THAT episode, we have THIS one! It's episode 3x04, and it's called "Nasty Habits". Unfortunately, none of those habits seem to be torturing pirates, because there's only some Killian angst in this one.

Well, let's watch it anyway... ;)

OUAT 3x03: Rewatch Liveblog

Hey guys! It's me again, back with another liveblog of, uh, me watching another episode of Once Upon a Time.

This one is episode 3x03, called "Quite a Common Fairy" - which means, you guessed it, we'll be meeting Tinkerbell in this episode :)

Let's watch, shall we?

OUAT 3x02: Rewatch Blog

Hi everybody! It's time for another episode of Once Upon a Time!

This one is called "Lost Girl" and I honestly don't remember much about it off the top of my head. I mean, I know it's the one with Pan giving Emma the map and Emma figuring out how to read it, but I don't remember much else about it.

This means there's little to no Killian whump in it XD

At any rate, let's watch!

OUAT 3x01: Rewatch Blog

Welcome aboard, mateys! It's time to start rewatching Season 3! As usual, I'm a bit behind everyone else on this rewatch, but I've decided it's more fun for me to move at my own pace, so I probably won't be catching up anytime soon ;)

That said... Let's get started on Once Upon a Time Season 3!!!

OUAT 2x22: Rewatch Blog

Hey everybody! Here I am with another rewatch liveblog! This time, I'm rewatching the second half of the S2 finale: "And Straight On 'Til Morning" :)

By the way, the titles of this episode and the one before it are awesome. WAY better than "part 1" and "part 2" or whatever.

Anyway! Let's get on with the show!!!

OUAT 2x21: Rewatch Blog

Hey everybody! It’s time for another rewatch blog, this time for the big Season 2 finale! Well, the start of it anyway ;) This first half is called “Second Star to the Right...” and I bet you can’t guess what the next part’s called!

...Okay, let’s, uh, not worry about that now. We’ll worry about that next time! For now, let’s start the show!

OUAT 2x20: Rewatch Blog

Hey, everybody! I’m back with another liveblog of me rewatching Once Upon a Time! I can tell you’re all really excited to get into this episode, which is entitled “The Evil Queen” - Ooooh, exciting!

Wait, what’s that? You’re wondering where the liveblogs for 2x16 through 2x19 are? Look buddy, I don’t come into your house and ask where your liveblogs are. I just... I don’t know, man. I can’t read suddenly.

There is one for 2x19, actually... but I don’t recommend reading it.

Anyway! Let’s get on with the show...!

OUAT 2x19: Rewatch Blog

Well, here I am for another fun-filled adventure in rewatching Once! Today, we’ll be watching episode 2x19, which is entitled “Lacey”. It’s really a weird name for this episode, but I have some ideas about that, which I’ll mention sometime later in this post.

Anyway... Let’s get on with the show!

OUAT 2x15: Rewatch Blog

Heeeeey guys! Here I am, once again, with a liveblog of episode 2x15: “Manhattan”. Wait. What? Oh. I’ve just been informed, once again, that this episode is still not called “Manhattan”. Could’ve sworn someone did something about that since my last liveblog, but I guess not. What am I paying you people for? Someone change this episode’s name so I’ll be right when I inevitably forget this episode’s actual name and just start calling it “Manhattan” again, because let’s be real - that is the only likely outcome here.

So what IS the name of this episode? “The Queen Is Dead” apparently. Which Queen? It’s not Regina or Cora or Elsa and... Okay, I’ll be honest here. I don’t really care much about any of the other Queens on this show. Aw, crap. I’m gonna have to watch a bunch of flashbacks about Snow’s mom, aren’t I?

Well, whatevs... Let’s get on with “Manhattan Part 2″ the show...
