Amc Turn - Tumblr Posts
Can I interest anyone in a low-effort TURN meme? Came up with this while thinking of how every time they had like a spark of hope it ended badly lol.
Why am I having so much trouble finding good memes for a turn comp that haven't been done a million times??? I miss vine.
I baked you some fresh TURN content! Smells like warm eggs.
I made another one. I'm sorry.
Got something funny coming up, more turn crack because I'm bored.
Please God, let her have just one good day
British officer: What are your names?
Caleb: Don’t tell him, Ben.
Ben: Good job, Caleb.
there are times where showrunners drop the ball so astronomically it's hilarious, and i'm not talking about when they actively ruin their own characters or story arcs. i'm talking about when they could have grasped some juicy character/actor and they didn't until it was too late lmao.
i am of course talking about two shows: the gilded age and turn washington's spies. i know the gilded age producers were screaming crying once they realized that tom blyth hit it big in the hunger games movie and they had wasted his appearance on a one episode, throwaway role as the would-be fiance of a protagonist's daughter just a year before. they uploaded the singular scene tom blyth had in the show on their tiktok as soon as TBOSAS came out. they knew what they missed out on lmao.
and turn...oh turn. there are so many things i like about you and so many things you could've done better. and yeah i'm biased but not having alexander hamilton be in the show from the get-go was a mistake. he was one of the rare outsiders who actually knew about the culper ring! if there's any aide de camp or figure you want to add to the relationship with ben tallmadge and washington, it's probably him. i need to find a source for it but apparently tallmadge and hamilton stood guard for andre the night before his execution, and they all talked pretty openly - nathan hale was brought up, and hamilton said that tallmadge never talks about hale because it's painful. i don't know, that's some very interesting, potentially historically accurate material right there. in your grasp! the show focused a lot on the french alliance, well who in the aide de camps spoke a lot with the french? hamilton + laurens + lafayette (to some level tilghman though i think he did translation). it was right there.
and the potential comradeship and also conflicting jealousy/contrast you could've elaborated on between tallmadge and hamilton. because lafayette is in the show, very clearly friendly with washington! how nice would've it been to add hamilton, a person who relates more with the show's tallmadge and sees the flaws in washington; and is yet someone who actively rejects/doesn't want washington's affection the way tallmadge does (but perhaps gets it more).
turn premiered in 2014 and i'm wondering if by then the producers had at least heard about a hamilton musical being made. because by mid 2015 (after season 2 premiered) it was a done game and everyone and their cousin knew about the musical. so they added hamilton to the last few episodes of season 3 and gave him some lines in season 4. i wonder if the producers sat there and remembered the conversation they had back in preproduction of season 1, like. "should we add hamilton?" "nah, he'll make things complicated. nobody cares about him anyways!"
ugh. such a waste.
fellow turn fan ???? i can be ur new turn bestie if u want 😳 i want someone to rant about Ian Kahn to me
hello new turn bestie!! it's awesome to meet any amrev fan in the wild, and i think i've consumed every piece of content in existence. but turn has a special place in my heart.
ah yes, ian kahn, one of the best parts of the show. he did a great job having that forbidding aura, just to live up to how his contemporaries wrote about him and his lasting legacy - but also showing the less noble moments. i agree with some fans that an even more subdued, understated performance would've been nice at times but that's more due to the show than him. i really hope he reprises that role because there's so much more he can offer, especially. like. can you imagine president washington ian kahn? some age makeup might be necessary but it'll be so interesting.
and don't even get me started on the fact that he's hot. that man had no business making george washington attractive! my friend and i were watching and when he started shouting at poor ben she went "daddy" and honestly?? she did it again when he raised his hand and everyone immediately went quiet. ultimate dilf, sue me but i'm right.
please do feel free to rant any time, whether through anon or otherwise! have a great day :)
you know there's something grievously wrong when you see this tweet and your first thought is founding father george washington
I’m pretty sure Ben only ever slept in this series when he was physically incapable of being awake due to severe bodily injury.
