#I’m joking it’s for plot

[bambino1294]

why is researching for a fic like this

#bam writes #rambles #this isn’t even for a fic that’s gonna be posted anytime soon #it’s a fucking sequel to a fic still in its planning and outlining stages #and before anyone asks yes it is a hobbit fic #every time I open a tab to check something I open like six more to make sure I have all the right info #I need to dig out my copy of the silmarillion tbh but my shit is everywhere rn #plus researching and writing is more fun than reading according to my brain #at least wikis condense info for me 😭 #doing all this research and I’m still gonna butcher parts of the timeline for the hell of it #I’m joking it’s for plot #reconfiguring stuff just making sure I have names and lineages and places and such #but I’m still gonna fuck around with it #I’m actually having a lot of fun I love researching #it just always mean I have a window with sixty tabs of the tolkien gateway open at any given moment #the things I do for my movie-only five-minutes-of-screentime blorbo #praying I stay on my Figrid kick for a while so I can get some stuff done #got a oneshot in the works #got two wips to finish #and then my bigger upcoming wips #this duology. as we can see. that requires *a lot* #plus the *potential* outsider pov time loop fic *if* I can get it to work the way I want it to #fiinf

#oh donkey Arthur your 10 seconds of screen time will forever live in my heart #a small throw away joke to make Arthur look stupid? #no sir what you’re looking at is something so special and important to me #I’ve noticed that there’s a pattern for the episodes that’s like it goes a serieous episode followed by a silly filler episode #so actually it goes plot then filler I’m realising I just hadn’t used proper terms for it cause I’m stupid #but after the last episodes of s2 and then the two at the beginning of s3 #I was waiting for my silly episode reward #and boy howdy that was a silly episode #(im sick atm please just polite laugh and nod and be on your way) #my art #Merlin #bbc merlin #arthur pendragon

More Harvey panels I really liked, because the world oughtta see them:

And my personal favorites: Squashed Bettyjuice, and Eyebrow slit Beej

#beetlejuice cartoon #toonjuice #bettyjuice #lydia deetz #beetlejuice #harvey comics #comics #The second crime-busters issue absolutely popped off with it’s colors #I may be biased since I’m a saturation junkie- but that issue was really where the budget kicked in #It was also one that I found a bit better written #The jokes-dialogue-and plot overall felt closest to an actual episode of the show. #It’s one of my favorites

I just wanna say if they are going there with bi buck (which, like, I don’t have a horse in this race I’m happy to see it play out however it does idc) it is absolutely hilarious to me if the circumstances that led to that were: they tried to bring lucy back, they Could Not bring lucy back, they brought back tommy instead, and then just went ‘well I guess we’re doing this now’ ashdhdkskjd

#for legal reasons this is a joke #no like being so for real I have not been involved in any of this speculation #and it legit makes no difference to me I’m just happy the show is back #but the idea they had a buck/lucy plot couldn’t do it bc Arielle was busy and were just like we’re not changing the script is v funny ‘ #also pour one out for lucy donato I mISS YOU and I wish you could be there 💔 #but also I do like Tommy so y’know ✨ #911 related #season 7 speculation #911 spoilers #just bc Tommy mention I guess

“morgana was failed by the writers.” NO. at least our girl GOT a character arc. (albeit one that was ultimately unsatisfactory and not even NEARLY fulfilling its potential)

meanwhile, arthur and merlin had an approximate total of two (2) episodes of character arc.

episode 1 merlin: me no likey the arrogant prince.

episode 1 arthur: me no likey the arrogant peasant.

episode 4 merthur onwards: i will die for you. you are mine. i am yours. you have my solemn promise i will cherish you until my final breath. my every waking hour is devoted to you. there are no lines i will not cross to ensure your protection.

and then they just proved that for 5 seasons.

#this is a joke #I love the characters of bbc merlin but they were all done so dirty #except my guy leon #leon just vibing in the corner and we love him for it #unproblematic king #also I was about to tear into the writers for using morgana as a plot device #but I think I just used morgana as a plot device for this post #I’m so sorry #what have I done #I would also like to clarify the first statement was for shock value ONLY #IT IS NOT A REFLECTION OF MY FEELINGS TOWARD MORGANA #I LOVE THAT WOMAN WITH MY ENTIRE HEART #AND WE WILL BE DISCUSSING THAT AT A LATER DATE #bbc merlin #merlin #arthur pendragon #merlin bbc #merthur #merlin and arthur #morgana pendragon

Okay. Damn it all, I want AC fluff. Tell me, how do you Haytham would have turned out, if he were an Assassin and married Ziio if he knew she was pregnant with Ratonhnhaké:ton/Conner? Oh! And how would Jennifer act with Ratonhnhaké:ton and Ziio to boot? And fuck it, lets yet Tessa and Edward into this as well, let our boi meet his grandparents! XD

I sorta touched that in A Pirate’s Son so if you’re okay with Desmond bulldozing canon without even knowing the tragedy of the Kenway family, give it a read (or a reread)? XD

That self-promotion out of the way, let’s talk about how we can make this happen without involving Desmond.

For this one, you didn’t ask for Jenny to be trained as an Assassin so we’re going for the route of Jenny not being trained as an Assassin by Edward (although if you want a “Jenny becomes an Assassin” idea, here’s an idea we have before)

This ends with Jenny leaving the Kenway family and becoming an Assassin on her own, against Edward’s wishes. By the time he finally accepts her as an Assassin, their relationship is on the rocks so there will be a lot of repairs that needs to happen first.

But Jenny never hated Haytham and acts as a secondary mentor to Haytham.

In this scenario, Haytham grows up with both Edward and Jenny as his instructors. Birch’s plans are foiled because Jenny found out and took him out as an Assassin and Tessa gets slowly introduced to the Brotherhood to not spook her.

Haytham going to the colonies is because they learned that the Templars are making their move. So Haytham’s canon actions are now on the side of the Brotherhood.

He’s much nicer though but he’s also more reckless, having been influenced by his free sister even though Edward tried to teach him restraint.

His skills would be more on the side of his canon self but he would also use darts and he would use multiple holsters for his pistols. He also has a habit of stealing from others even though he has enough money since the Kenways are pretty rich. He usually steals documents or anything that seems valuable and may provide a clue. If they don’t, he’d just drop them and make it appear like the owner dropped it or left it somewhere.

He fell for Kaniehtí:io hard and asked her to marry him after they slept together, given the excuse of ‘I will take responsibility”. They both know it’s an excuse and Kaniehtí:io rejects his first proposal. He keeps proposing and they actually married a few weeks after Ratonhnhaké:ton is born and Kaniehtí:io saw just how happy Haytham is holding their baby.

That’s when she knew that Haytham doesn’t just fancy her and truly wishes for a future with her.

Edward traveled to the colonies for his ‘retirement’ with Tessa and they build a house in the homestead, acting more as an advisor than a co-mentor to Achilles. Haytham is actually being whispered to be Achilles’ successor. Edward and Tessa spoils their grandchild and Tessa is the worst offender, making the cutest clothes for him and carrying him everywhere even when they all knew he could walk already. Edward tells the best stories according to his grandson.

Jenny only visits when she’s sure her path won’t cross Edward. They’re working on their relationship but she’s not ready to see him in person yet.

She’s not a very affectionate person but her nephew loves him nonetheless because she always tells him the truth and even teaches him a trick or two.

Of course, Ratonhnhaké:ton ends up not being an only child in this one. XD

#not involving desmond is one of the hardest things for me to do #nah i’m joking #i don’t mind XD #i do enjoy adding desmond to everything #assassin's creed #ask and answer #fic idea: assassin's creed #teecup writes/has a plot #ratonhnhaké:ton #connor kenway #haytham kenway

broke: ranboo was the time traveller

woke: connor was the time traveller

bespoke: everyone's been a time traveller xd just switches who it is when he gets bored

#this is an actual plot point in the fic I’m writing except it’s never been c!prime bc c!dream made a deal #xd is getting his fair share of suffering from c!dream going full nuke megaton mode every once in a while so he just sips a margarita #and changes shit at random to avoid getting bored watching the same 30 people live slightly different lives for like several trillion eons #(c!dream doesn’t need that he is literally just fine with c!tommy he is the ultimate inniter that is the joke. along with him being cringe)

There are works which are not [genre] but works made that have read a lot of [genre]. YJ is not an anime but it is a cartoon that has watched a lot of anime. MTMTE is not a comedy but it is a space opera that has watched a lot of sitcoms. I’d like to learn the term for a work that is deep in conversation with a genre without belonging to that genre even as a hybrid. Specifically works that address, lampshade, satirize, employ genre signposts without obeying genre conventions.

#or another example. oofuri is a sports manga and it is also a bl and that’s perfectly fine #ao no flag is a romance and is not a bl despite hitting a lot of the bl tropes. it is a manga that expects you to know what a bl looks like #and it consciously evades that classification. the resolutions it chooses and the framing it uses aren’t right. aren’t the same #MTMTE is comic (hah) but unlike a true comedy the resolution never comes from irony or fun or a twist #discworld is a deadly serious fantasy AND a pure comedy because every book’s resolution is a trick of irony and deception. #each book is a 400 page joke that ends with a hell of a punchline. #MTMTE on the other hand resolves its arcs in a very straightforward way #there’s not necessarily a gotcha or a ‘you thought!’ even the plot twists are an act of drama rather than cleverness #so while MTMTE has a sense of humour it’s just a story with jokes rather than a comedy #I know I know Greek comedy blah blah in this post I’m using the modern sense of the term #kelsey rambles #or Star Wars—it’s a space western action series that has watched a lot of samurai movies (OT) and some wuxia (PT/EU)

the fact that candace had the number of the chef that taught her mom’s cooking class is fantastic. are they friends? does she know his kid? is it for emergencies? did her mom know that he’d smash her phone and so she made sure her daughter still had a way to contact her? did he put it on an ad for the class and candace found it, on purpose or not? do phineas and ferb know it? does lawrence? many many questions and very few answers

#*makes a reference to a single episode* *makes a reference to a single episode* *makes a referen-* #i’m p sure it’s the episode with busted in it? there r two episodes with the chef and that’s one of them #can’t remember the second #tho it’s more likely that that’s the one with it #cause vanessa’s mom is also in the class and the joke they used in that class for that one is that both linda and vanessa’s mom left at the #same time bc of calls from their daughter #or that might be the doofvania episode #but those types of jokes only rlly happen once per linda plot #pnf plot has one long running gag and doof and perry ARE a gag so #anyway! #phineas and ferb #pnf #not a theory #candace flynn #linda flynn fletcher #ferb #ferb fletcher #phineas flynn #phineas #lawerence flynn fletcher

Because I love lore and worldbuilding and want to incorporate the environment and history into my writing, I’ve been doing a lot of research on Waterdeep for my fanfic including, you guessed it, Gale x my Tav.

And honestly? I’m having a lot of fun. I’m looking into the founding, the rulers/leaders, their holidays and how they celebrate them, which districts are fancier and where Gale would potentially reside (I remember seeing screenshots of his tower being located on the harbor, so he’s likely in the lower tail of the Castle Ward, since I doubt he’d be living in the Lowercity in the Dock Ward, but it’s still possible!), as well as just areas of his city. I just really like how the small details of the City of Splendors add to Gale as a character.

(Also I am having the BEST time taking the piss out of Waterdhavians—my Tav Hylas says:

I can tell based on your accent that you’re Waterdhavian—though your extensive vocabulary and verbosity made that clear long before I noticed it.

And I just freaking love Hylas so much they’re so fucking funny okay bye)

#literally started doing this for two reasons: #1. I wanted to know what holidays were happening in late summer/early autumn that would explain plot points #2. I wanted to open my fic with something strong (I started halfway through) and I ended up quoting… a fictional author #this is not a joke #I found a quote by #get this #Sandreth fucking Yendrel #and I went ‘yeah let’s go with that’ because I’m a LOSER #captains log #gale #gale of waterdeep #gale x tav #bg3 #baldurs gate 3 #I have to share it at this point it would be a crime not to #it’s gonna be embarrassingly long tho #like #I’m at 43 pages of content I KNOW will stay #and there’s an additional 5 I’m not sold on yet

So I just remembered. Multiple people told me that the S3E3 episode plotline was for furthering SW plot. And I just need you guys to know??? I’m not here for that plot and about 70% of the Mandalorian viewers likely aren’t either lmao. I don’t want plot in this show. I want Din to continue to know nothing about Star Wars. Let him stew in unknowledge. Knock that lil braincell of his around a bit till he cautiously asks someone if they’re a Jedi again. I’m here for that. I’m here for the idiot. Not Palpatine’s unwanted comeback story. I’m an EU bitch and I don’t even wanna know about Palpatine’s unwanted comeback. Stop giving my man plot he’s already suffering in a way I find funny.

#star wars #the mandalorian #din djarin #this is mostly a joke but I’m tired of people telling me useless plot for Nazis is development lmao
