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.
sadly it was canceled after two seasons (which made my mon and i very upset) but its still a great and wonderful show and yalls should watch it
plus it stars Lee Pace aka King Eyebrow Elf as Ned so yeah I’m surprised Tumblr hasn’t glommed onto this show already
Wait the guy who did this does Hannibal? I may need to give that show a try now
This show is more like what I imagined live action Phoenix Wright to be than what the live action Phoenix Wright movie actually was. Just super campy, bright, saturated “noir” detective stories with really outlandish, cartoony characters and crimes.
A gem of a show, I highly recommend it for a light comedy.
WARNING, WARNING: THIS SHOW WILL MAKE YOU WANT SOME PIE. SO MUCH PIE. SO MUCH.
Seriously when it was still airing my friends and I gave up resisting and just baked a pie every week and watched the show together. It is one of my fondest memories. ^_^

Part I
I was doing well
It had been a week and a half since I last thought about the way my name played across your lips
And 2 weeks since I started having trouble saying yours
I was doing well
When my grandmother called, as she does every Wednesday
And asked, for the thousandth time, what I was…
this bothers me
looking at anyone else you can see when the gif loops
but felix doesn’t break stride
and it’s bothersome
i guess he fixed it.
you did not

“Fairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed.”
― G.K. Chesterton
“Fear isn’t so difficult to understand. After all, weren’t we all frightened as children? Nothing has changed since Little Red Riding Hood faced the big bad wolf. What frightens us today is exactly the same sort of thing that frightened us yesterday. It’s just a different wolf.”
― Alfred Hitchcock
“Deeper meaning resides in the fairy tales told to me in my childhood than in the truth that is taught by life.”
