Fanmix: Discworld - Susan/Mister Teatime - Hello inner child, I'm the inner babysitter!
Hm, I should probably explain. But I have no idea how xD. Okay, let's start here: this fanmix uses fictional characters created by Terry Pratchett in 'Hogfather', the 20th Discworld novel. There's a movie based on this book. A few weeks ago I watched it & do I even need to tell how much I loved it? Also, this movie made me realise how much I ship Susan & Mister Teatime. (For those of you who haven't read 'Hogfather'/any of Terry Pratchett's books: Mister Teatime is... Okay, how do I put it. For those of you who watched Prison Break - Mister Teatime is kind of like T-Bag. Only more disturbed xD. And Susan... Uhm, take Gretchen's battle!skillz & cynism, but take away all the evilness LOL. For those of you who watch 'Bones': Mister Teatime is like Howard Epps. And Susan has Brennan's intelligence, Cam's cynism & sense of humour. HA! THERE.) After reading the book I realised that they're awesome, but the movie made me see how awesome they are together. Blame it on Marc Warren & Michelle Dockery. Their chemistry was... kdjgnhkshg. Spectacular. And it just happened, it was 'bang! holy shit, I so ship them!' And of course I had to make a fanmix (because that's what I do.) And here it is.
It's not exactly 'I-ship-it' mix, it's more of a general-about-the-characters mix. But if you squint... *coughs & grins*. Either way - it's more 'I-hate-you-so-much-that-I-will-kill-you' kind of shippery mix (if something like this exists LOL), than 'I-hate-you-but-omg-it-is-tru-wuv-!-!-!' kind of mix.
Okay, holy crap, I should end my babbling ^^.
End notes: I own nothing. I used quotes from 'Hogfather', they're in italics (so yeah, MAJOR SPOILERS.)
Comments would be love?
01. Johann Sebastian Bach - Toccata and fugue in D Minor [general]
But it was much earlier even than that when most people forgot that the very oldest stories are, sooner or later, about blood.
[instrumental]
02. The Hoosiers - Killer (Mister Teatime)
'Oh.' Teatime looked despondent for a moment, but then he brightened. 'But I definitely fulfilled the contract, sir. There can be no doubt about that, sir. I checked Sir George's breathing with a mirror as instructed. It's in my report.'
'Yes, indeed.' Apparently the man's head had been several feet from his body at that point. It was a terrible thought that Teatime might see nothing incongruous about this.
Don't turn out the lights
Kiss yourself goodnight cause there's a killer
And he's coming after you
Kiss yourself goodnight, tonight
Cause there's a killer and he's coming after you
03. Kate Nash - Mouthwash (Susan)
Igor wasn't in a position to see her face fully, but the bogeyman was. He shot back so quickly that he fell off his stool. And when the girl spoke, what she said was only partly words but also a statement, written in stone, of how the future was going to be.
And, this, is my brain
And even if you try and hold me back
There's nothing that you can gain
04. Rob Zombie - Foxy foxy (Susan & Mister Teatime)
'This place gets into your head, doesn't it?' Teatime said. 'It pokes around to find out how to deal with you. Well, I'm in touch with my inner child.' He reached out with his other hand and grabbed her hair, pulling her head down. Susan screamed.
'And it's much more fun,' he whispered. [...]
She slapped him across the face.
'Hi!' she said brightly. 'I'm the inner babysitter!'
She didn't punch. She just thrust out an arm, palm first, catching him under the chin and lifting him backwards over the rail. He somersaulted. She never knew how. He somehow managed to gain purchase on clear air.
He who gets slapped and he who gets saved,
He who brutalizes the timeless stage.
(...)
She is the butcher,
She wants the air,
She hides the scars under her hair.
05. Gary Numan - Jagged (Mister Teatime)
'Have you got any idea how to get back home?' Medium Dave shook his head.
'Me neither. Find the place again, I suppose.' Chickenwire shivered. 'I mean, what he did to that carter ... I mean, well, I wouldn't even act like that to me own dad---'
'Yeah.'
'Ordinary mental, yes, I can deal with that. But he can be talking quite normal, and then-'
They say that I turn innocence to panic
But I don't care
06. The Avalanches - Frontier Psychiatrist (Mister Teatime)
Mister Teatime had a truly brilliant mind, but it was brilliant like a fractured mirror, all marvellous facets and rainbows but, ultimately, also something that was broken.
That boy needs therapy
Lie down on the couch! What does that mean?
You're a nut! You're crazy in the coconut!
What does that mean? That boy needs therapy
I'm gonna kill you, that boy needs therapy
Grab a kazoo, let's have a duel
07. Ani Difranco - Not a pretty girl (Susan)
She knew now why they'd tried to keep her away. There was far more to genetics than little squirmy spirals. She could walk through walls when she really had to. She could use a tone of voice that was more like actions than words, that somehow reached inside people and operated all the right switches. And her hair ...
I am not a pretty girl
that is not what I do
I ain't no damsel in distess
and I don't need to be rescued
08. Christina Aguilera - Enter the circus (at Tooth Fairy's castle)
Chickenwire took the bag of tobacco and relaxed. 'I've seen some bad places in my time, but this takes the serious biscuit.'
So sit back, relax, fasten your seatbelts
It's going to be a bumpy ride to the other side
09. She wants revenge - Kidnap the Sandy Claws (Mister Teatime & his ingenious idea to kill Hogfather)
'You mean you have actually devoted time to considering how to inhume the Hogfather?' he said weakly. You've actually sat down and thought out how to do it? You've actually devoted your spare time to the problem?'
Wait! I've got a better plan
To catch this big red lobster man
Let's pop him in a boiling pot
And when he's done we'll butter him up
10. Space - Female of the species (Mister Teatime ---> Susan)
'Ah, ah!' he chided, turning and fending her off as she tried to grab it. 'Well, well, well. My word. White bone handle, rather tasteless skull and bone decoration... Death himself's second favourite weapon, am I right? Oh, my! This must be Hogswatch! And this must mean that you are Susan Sto-Helit. Nobility. I'd bow,' he added, dancing back, 'but I'm afraid you'd do something dreadful-----
I'll shout myself hoarse for your supernatural force
The female of the species is more deadly than the male
11. Heart - If looks could kill (Susan ---> Mister Teatime)
'Is that all you're here for?' she said. 'A robbery?' He was dressed like an Assassin, after all, and there was always one way to annoy an Assassin. 'Like a thief?
Teatime danced excitedly. 'A thief? Me? I'm not a thief, madam. But if I were, I would be the kind that steals fire from the gods.
'We've already got fire.
'There must be an upgrade by now.'
If looks could kill
you'd be lying on the floor
you'd be begging me please please
12. Neil Patrick Harris - Brand new day (Mister Teatime trying to kill Death)
The sword hummed back and forth. 'I wonder,' said Teatime, 'is it possible to kill Death? This must be a very special sword and it certainly works here...'
It’s a brand new day
And the sun is high
All the birds are singing
That you’re gonna die
13. Leonard Cohen - Everybody knows (the last confrontation between Susan & Mister Teatime)
Susan closed her hand over the poker.
Teatime saw her start to turn. He stepped behind Death, sword raised...
Susan threw the poker overarm. It made a ripping noise as it shot through the air, and trailed sparks.
It hit Death's robe and vanished.
He blinked.
Teatime smiled at Susan.
And everybody knows that it's now or never
Everybody knows that it's me or you
14. John Powell - Assassin's tango
Teatime looked down at the poker in his chest as he folded up.
