[vaguely-concerned]

merrill dragon age really reverse engineered an eluvian from first principles in a cave with a box of scraps and one single blighted shard. and STILL she gets no respect for it from anyone but potentially hawke, at least in a confused yet well-meaning 'are ya winning son' sort of way on the friendship path. dark days for women in STEM

(really though it seems the equivalent of a person in the middle ages putting together a nokia phone from rocks and sticks (and one coaching session from a spirit, fair enough) and then just not being able to figure out how to turn it on even though it is fully functioning. magically at least merrill is inarguably a genius. the tony stark of kirkwall. well not really that comparison falls apart pretty quickly but you see what I'm saying here lmao)

#dragon age #dragon age 2 #merrill #of all people aveline actually seems to pick up on just how brilliant she is #but she only ever tells merrill so out loud so that she gets to tell her she's also an idiot with the next breath fhsadkfhsa #ah would it really be DA2 if that wasn't how that conversation went tho #anders has his head way too far up his own ass (affectionate) about anything she does to really consider what she's achieved #but one day I'd love to see some mages studying merrill's work like 'how?? how in the fUCK did she do this it shold be impossible' #hawke standing over on the side like a proud yet bumbling older brother like 'uh. it involved some sort of really special knife. #I punched a varterral about it. do not ask me any more questions'

Demanding more lisp

posts in which it is imperative that wade be read with a fruity obnoxious little gay lisp:

#ask-spiderpool #she's a LETHSBIAN harold. #hoh-moh-SECKS-ssuals... #i love wade intentionally having the most ridiculous pronunciation in the world for certain words. #penetration... penatracione... pen-ah-TRRAh-see-oh-neh #it's very important you roll the Rs... #your erectioné in this directioné... #i hate this man and his mouth. #i have such a vivid and stupid voice for wade wilson that lives in my head and i hear him so clearly #and im just like so. so upset that i can't manifest this voice and have all of you hear it #he has the MOST stupid way of talking ever and i so want to animate to it. #it's something like robin william's genie from aladdin. an animator's delight. he's so. so theatric. all the time. #and he's constantly changing and shifting accents and impressions and mannerisms. #just whatever he can to make the delivery as funny as possible. #he has this universally ambigious accent all the time. and he's so. so good at accents. #he's just totally brilliant at mimicry. you should hear his peter parker impression. it's perfect. he nails it. peter is so mad about it. #he absolutely can answer the phone as peter and nobody is the wiser. #if he dons peter's tights nobody would discern from voice alone. they'd only be able to tell by the different body types.

i'm a day late, but to mark the occasion of AM turning ten i recorded a little acoustic cover of one of my fave songs off the album ♥️

i only recently started playing again (and learned to play this song yesterday) so it's definitely somewhat rough around the edges, but i figured i'd share it anyway just as a little tribute to my all time favourite band and the record's birthday? idk, happy birthday AM <3 🎂

#debated about whether or not i should post this #it's not very good #and it might be too cringe #but eh who cares i guess #i tried to be truthful to the brilliant original while also giving it my own spin but sorry if i butchered it lol #also when will i start getting better at playing the guitar? #alas the answer is probably never #ah well i tried #artic monkeys #alex turner #AM #no. 1 party anthem #arctic monkeys cover #acoustic cover #minnie talks #minnie sings #i guess

Been listening to Subspace Rhapsody on repeat, which lead met to thinking about Q&A, about Una giving advice to Jim and Spock that was somehow both completely opposite and yet exactly the same.

Her advice to Spock was all about how Starfleet is great but it's not perfect, so you're not totally safe to just be yourself, I'm sorry. But there are places and people that you can be fully yourself with it's just a matter of finding them.

Meanwhile Kirk is human. He's not in danger from anti-human prejudice so he doesn't need to worry about his own safety, but by telling him to connect with his crew he'll be made aware of it.

And that's before I get into the fact that Una 100% decided to reveal to a kid that she'd just met maybe an hour ago that she isn't human all so that she could give him a safe place. Like holy shit! Talk about connecting to your crew.

I also just love that she sings to both of them to get her point across. She's so cute.

#strange new worlds #una chin riley #spock #jim kirk #subspace rhapsody #q&a #you will never convince me that spock took una's love of musicals at face value #you will never convince me that una believed spock took her love of musicals at face value #these are two brilliant people hiding from persecution #they see each other #also love the little moment q&a gives us of chris and una's relationship #spock: walks onto the bridge #una: pretends not to know him #chris: ah so he's important and we can't show favouritism reading you loud and clear

once again thinking about kerejean dynamic in which kevin is the shortest.. muuuch to think about…

ok this remains based and moral...... here's how kevin day being the shortest one in a dynamic can make it 5 times more interesting. although i think i seriously think kevin looking up at him would give jeremy the same sort of deep-seated issue that led jean through five years of being in love with kevin day

#the brilliant enclosure has changed the way i interact w kerejean but im coming back i think. im bouncing back #its breathing w the aid of devices but its breathing #BUT WE R WORKIGN AND LIVING AND LOVING................................ and thats what matters #asks #kerejean #the dynamic i think maybe is jean telling jeremy how down bad he was and jeremy being like wow thats crazy! ill never be like that #then he gets to meet kevin day in a deeper way and hes like ah. #(normal guy expecting to be normal) Ah. #kevin day is mental illness-inducing

AHS: Coven is perfect, it has so many unhinged female characters you can't help but adore despite all their crimes.

god damn it. another deeply stupid high effort game idea.

#bobtalk #it's pronounced 'brilliant' #another fangame about something that i'm not actually all that invested in funnily enough. the inner machinations of my mind r an enigma #i cant be doing this man can my beautiful mind maybe wait until this semester's over? #why can't i get excited over more convenient things...?ah well. everybody loves me #have an appointment tmrw....scary! also my english class. also scary.

asking people to beta your fics is the most nervewracking thing in the World. god bless

#oh you want the link to the google doc? why don't you crack open my ribcage and have a little snack. it would be less vulnerable. #this is completely different from how i feel about people who agree to beta for me btw #they are all the most brilliant insightful people in the world. and i love them dearly #htoo rambles #AH!

[singsweetmelodies]

wait...........piarles 10 things au...... this idea is rotating in my brain PLS elaborate.

I feel like Patrick has to be Pierre? (bc rugged lil bitch (affectionate)) but also I cannot imagine Pierre ever doing something like that to Charles (as Kat) so please please please let me study your brain!! if anyone can get me to believe a characterization its you

well HELLO darling anon!! 😘 about the 10 Things AU - we've been chatting about it on the discord a bit, and i see 2 possible ways it could go.

one is, like you & i both initially envisioned, the version where pierre is patrick and charles is kat.

you see it, right? 🤭

as to the "but pierre wouldn't do that to charles" aspect of it all... well, to make it work, i think we'd have to go with a scenario where pierre doesn't know charles at all, and he's in a bit of a fuckboy era, so getting told to take out a pretty boy for a bit of cash sounds like the perfect deal to him.

(in this version of the au, charles would be a bit less of a sharp kat stratford figure and more of a "my dickhead footballer ex broke my heart so now i'd rather play piano than have anything to do with more boys." not that he'd be a weak character in any way - certainly, he'd give pierre QUITE a piece of his mind when pierre tries to pull the moves on him - but he wouldn't be quite as, well, bitchy as kat stratford is in the original, because that's simply not who charles leclerc is. in his own words - he is nice.)

anyways. so we have defensive, closed-off (but very endearing) musician!charles in this au, and fuckboy footballer pierre who initially gets paid to take him out - but when charles turns him down, he gets intrigued beyond the initial bet, and it becomes a personal challenge to him to get charles to go out with him. he's super competitive (as is charles) so of course it becomes a whole thing between them, until finally they mutually fall for each other. the paintball scene DEFINITELY features.

and, yes, there would be a scene where charles finds out that pierre was paid to take him out - and he's heartbroken, while pierre feels like the worst asshole in the world. because, yeah, it may have started out because of the bet, but it became so much more than that, and charles actually means everything to pierre now, and and and -

and, they kiss and make up, and pierre sneaks charles into a recording studio somehow as his grand apology gesture, and then they finally live happily ever after <3333

so it wouldn't be an exact 10 Things au - more just inspired by the excellent vibes & some plot details. and, you know, the infamous paintball scene.

but as i said - this is only one version of the au. there is another, as suggested by the brilliant mar @pinkierre, wherein pierre is kat and charles is patrick.

as mar pointed out: pierre is actually kinda the perfect casting for kat stratford?! he's snarky, sassy, and a little more openly jaded than charles is, so i believe he actually would deliver some of those zinger one-liners kat stratford is infamous for.

COME ON. there's a vision there, yeah?

and as mar also pointed out, charles would TOTALLY sing & dance a song for pierre on the bleachers to win him back. he would.

also, yuki would be the little brother in this scenario, and liam the one who hires charles to date pierre.

speaking of charles! charles... would be considerably less sweet than we traditionally characterise him. but this is not completely OOC, either - if you look at some interviews of teenager!charles... this boy was SAVAGE, and he did not give a single fuck. the only thing he really cared about was karting, and if we make that his motivation in this au too... well, maybe he needed some of liam's money for a new engine, or parts of some sort, or something. and he cared more about karting than he did about some sharp-tongued pretty boy.

but MAYBE, once he's tried & failed the traditional flirting moves - pierre, in no uncertain terms, informs charles that he is a TERRIBLE flirt, and he's lucky he's gorgeous otherwise nobody would ever go out with him - after that, charles tries a different tack, because he needs this money, and that's when he realises that pierre likes karting too, and has the same sense of humour as he does, and is just as competitive as him. and then they start to get along, and slowly fall in love, and then the rest is history!

this isn't the piarles dynamic i usually write, but imagine pierre with all his single-minded focus and passion dedicated to academics... and charles who's a bit less fussed about academics in favour of adventure & adrenaline. smash the two of them together!!

OMG. imagine now the party scene... pierre having a bit too much to drink, charles helping him out, the "your eyes have bits of green in them...!" it just fits so WELL, right? it could be so fun, omg.

so YEAH! those are the two options i (with some input from the brilliant minds on discord) can envision for a piarles 10 Things au. i think that both versions would be DELICIOUS fics, and if i didn't have a WIP list longer than charles' new ferrari contract, i'd definitely be adding it to my list of things to write 🙏

as it stands, though, this one will probably just remain a daydream... but OH, my gosh, what a delightful daydream!!

#asks & answers #anon #the piarlification of... 10 things i hate about you #not a sentence i ever thought i'd write... till last night haha #BUT OH MY GOSH #now that i've thought of this... #HOW FUN WOULD THESE AUS BE!! #both of them are brilliant and delightful in different ways #AAAAAAAAHHHHHH i wish i could write them!! #ah well. ah well #please enjoy the vibes & daydreams with me; anon <3333

You'll never believe this, but I took a short story that was originally in second person and started turning it into a first person novel and I had fleeting moments wondering if second person could still work for it, but no, in this new direction, first person is right, but I've been still having trouble and started rewriting the story but this time, with a first chapter that opens with a letter directed towards the narrator, and I struggled with chapter two, until starting it with another letter, and both directly speak to the narrator saying, "you" and do you understand? it's come full circle. It has a semblance of second person You in this new rewrite. No listen to me, the smallest details and ideas thrive when you least expect it and nothing is wasted and it took too much thinking to get here BUT I GOT HERE NONETHELESS

#rose and rambles #prosie's writing adventures #my brain is baked #the letters feel so good so right #oh i needed them #oh its brilliant #flee in a box in another box brilliant #how do you introduce the audience to the main character when you have a red herring protagonist as the focus?

I have Barcus in my camp this time (I will NOT let my little guy down again!!) and he’s actually precious. I’m so upset I lost track of him my first playthrough, Barcus is literally my best friend

#rosie plays games kinda okay #ah shit here we go again #context: he’s making me something? it’s called the brilliant retort? he’s the love of my life?

[magnoliamyrrh]

very weird to me to see this "the west has treated africa so bad china however is doing a lot of good in africa" idea as if like i havent seen a million cases of chinese corporations in african nations being racist af and treating workers like absolute shit as well and as if chinese corps arent also doing the exact same sort of economic colonialism and exploitation and dumping chemicals and whatnot

#ah yes. the west= bad so whoever is against the west =good #brilliant depth of understanding of issues #cant possibly be that theyre both fucked
