GO WATCH THIS SHOW, HONESTLY IT IS SO AMAZING.
IF THIS POST CREATES 1 NEW PUSHING DAISIES FAN MY LIFE = MADE.
Alright let me help out then:
1) Most of the cast is female. In fact only two main characters are male.
2) Both male characters take typically non-masculine hobbies. Emerson Cod knits almost non-stop and makes pop-up books. Ned is literally called “The Pie-Maker” because he bakes homestyle pies from his mother’s method. Both are shown to be very nurturing and even maternal characters. Conversely, the women? A pair of professional travelling show performers that have gritty sexual scandals the way men usually get (see the entire “Chuck’s father” storylines), a beekeeper who is the single most positive and optimistic character imaginable, and a former professional jockey- Three of four pro athletes.
3) You could very easily make the claim Ned is asexual.
4) Yes, the storyline is about romance. But it’s also about the positive side of a love story, and their only drama lies in overcoming their inability to actually share contact.
5) A very good friend of mine recommended this show to me as “Disney for adults.” I told her it was already on my list to watch because “It’s by Bryan Fuller, from Wonderfalls and Dead Like Me.” Bryan Fuller is now most known for “Hannibal.” The same camera methods and bright colours and lighting techniques Hannibal is known for? Perfected in this show, just using a different tone- The same colour methods in reverse, upping the vivid greens and yellows instead of reds and blues, which sells emotion both ways.
7) Probably one of the best examples of a modern day fairy tale possible.
8) Narrated by Jim Dale- The narrator for the HP audio books.
I don’t know if anyone’s already added links to this, but all of these here work and if you hover over the links, an episode description shows :)

This post is the reason I started watching Pushing Daisies and I encourage everyone to do the same
What the… Is this what pushing daisies is about?! It wounds awesome! I’m gonna start it!
edit: This is super good, omg.
(Also another few reasons to watch this show:
• Thranduil (Lee Pace) is in it
• Olive sings a lot
• Olive is played by Kristin Chenowith
• It has some of the most heartfelt quotes, ranging from your place in this world an your choices in the world
• Ned is literally a Necromancer and he’s really jumpy too
• it’s okay to watch with kids hell I watched it when it first came out and I was younger and it was my favorite show
• there has been talk of making a musical of this show!!!!
• yes it was cancelled but it’s still so amazing and I guarantee you there is some great fanfics out there
• Amongst the heartfelt quotes there are these really funny quotes that will make you piss your pants from laughing (ie: “I wanted to be a Jedi” when Ned is fighting someone)
• it’s really good and perfect and the music is perfect and so are the characters
• it’s only got 2 seasons at least try it for the first
• it also leaves you wanting more each episode ~
I hope that helped some of you make up your mind )THIS SHOW WAS SO HYPE HOLY HELL
As a writer, you should try to give your villains plausible motivations, backstories, etc. A villain is much more interesting if they think they’re the hero of their own story.
As a DM, this is still great advice in theory but in practice you should ABSOLUTELY NEVER DO THIS because your players will discover your villains’ tragic backstory, look at their motivation and find it sound, and end up adopting the villains, going rogue from the Celestial Intervention Agency to avenge the wrongs done said villains and ensure their freedom, accidentally kidnapping the President, and plunging Gallifrey into a civil war.
This is… extremely specific
I love this post
It’s twice as bad as the guns, because he has to grab a new one every time the thread OR the bobbin runs out.
mentally develop your plots/character interactions by listening to your favorite songs and imagining an amv to it
I really…fucking hate customer service.
Like…
Okay, as a lot of you know, I work overnights at a hotel. It’s for a pretty recognizable brand, so we get a lot of high paying customers.
Part of my job is to prep the breakfast area before the breakfast team shows up so that breakfast is done by the time it needs to be. This, of course, means that I have to step away from the desk. It doesn’t really help that the time I need to start working on breakfast is also when customers start checking out.
So I had the bright idea of making a sign. It’s not fancy, the letters are pretty big, and it basically just says “Hey if you need me I’m in the kitchen, just give a holler.”
It’s worked really well so far; people see it, they call for me, and I get them taken care of with little to no fuss. Or, at least, it’s worked up until now.
This guy.
This. Fucking. Guy.
I finish prepping the breakfast area, I walk out, and at the front desk is a man, huffing and puffing. He harshly asks “Are you working the front desk?”.
I say with my best customer service voice “Yes sir, I just had to prep a few things for the breakfast team. Can I help you with anything?”
“Yeah you can help me by giving me some fucking service. I’ve been waiting for almost five minutes and I have to catch my flight!”
Oh boy. Here we go.
So I tell the man, “Well, sir, if you’ll look right in front of you, if you needed me, that sign tells you that I was in the kitchen.”
And this man. Just. Fucking looks at me. And says.
“You expect me to fucking read on my day off?”
And I just.
I was floored. That someone would say that. Completely unironically. With no hesitation.
Just
Fucking customer service, man.
Night auditor nightmare.
Taako (on Lup’s best day ever) talks about how this turkey is Lup’s favorite meal on HER birthday and how their aunt made it for HER birthday instead of saying Their (since you know identical twins).
My theory, Lup was born 11:58pm of X day on X Month and Taako was 3 minutes (fashionably) late to his birth. So technically Taako’s birthday is a day after Lup’s which doesn’t matter because they celebrate for a month straight.
its also across month lines, so they both get their own birthday month
Plot twist, Lup was born on New Years Eve and Taako was born on day of the New Year. Taako forever comments how he’s “younger” and beautiful meanwhile both take advantage of the fact they are born in ‘different’ years and celebrate year long.
That is not funny
That is not cute
It is animal abuse
BIRDS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO EAT CHOCOLATE
BIRDS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE COATED IN CHOCOLATE
Why the fuck do you think birds who get coated in oil die? It’s for the same goddamn reason.
You idiots can have all the chuckles you want over the fact that that poor animal is “living the dream” but I hope you also know that it probably died from that.
And if you still find it funny then I genuinely do not want to associate with you and can only wish upon you the most the most painful and awful death imaginable.
I just want to point out that no one is forcing that bird into the chocolate
no one pulled the damn thing in
Inf act, it fully appears to be waddling into the foundain by its damn self
Calm the hell down chocolate is not the same thing as chocolate
Its just a bird making a mistake and its fucking funny
It’s not animal cruelty unless someone was holding that bird at gunpoint
fucking christ
