One of the great ironies of my life is that I never have enough time for my hobbies, and I'm always fantasizing about getting a sick day off work so that I can do more.

But then I get sick, which I have been all week with one of the many nasty upper respiratory things going around this season, and all I can do is stare at the wall or sleep. (And cough, soooo much coughing.) Even if I'm capable of simming, I don't want to. Then, when I'm healthy again, the joy returns and the time goes away.

The only way this fantasy works is if I take a "sick" day rather than an actual sick day.

Hiii I love your work & Just genuinely Curious. If you got to make a Deadpool movie, Fox backing you up and all. What would it be like or about? Would it be an original story or adapt certain storylines like how Andrew & Tobey did with Spidey? Any specific actor in mind for Wade? Idk just again curious how a Sci made DP film would be

oouugh... my dream deadpool movie is honestly the first deadpool movie but with like. some changes. not even major changes. even ryan can stay. i can't really think of anyone i'd like to replace him – i've always been kind of bad at fan casts - my imagined wade wilson is so specific, i don't think there are any actors that could come close, no sir. i think i'd do the origin - as is - i kind of like the flipping from present to past motif they have – i'd probably keep more scenes they had in the script in the final film that they wound up cutting – i've revolved it in my head, really, how i'd fix that first deadpool movie, and really - first, i'd keep this scene in:

and i'd shift the ending so that wade just... doesn't get the girl at the end. vanessa walks away. because he's become something else. and actually, a guy like deadpool shouldn't get the girl. he saves her, he saves the day, but actually – becoming deadpool, and becoming so wantonly violent and you know, becoming the exact kind of killing machine he did not want to be – 

oy.

i feel like the film wanted to set up this theme that wade needs to be better than this. that he desires to be better. but when he becomes deadpool he spirals back into old violent habits because he deems himself unloveable and does everything in his power to make himself "loveable" (aka attractive) again for vanessa. but what he doesn't realise is that it's not his appearance that does that – it's his actions.

so i think my perfect deadpool movie would be that first deadpool movie, but committing to the theme that actually, just because wade was dealt a shitty hand doesn't mean he has to be a monster. and that his violence isn't something funny or romantic. and that he can change. instead of us seeing this guy who clearly wanted to escape violence... being pushed back into violence and what's worse, being rewarded for it.

it's such a weird, twisted moral attached to the first deadpool movie and i'm constantly thinking about it. i remember the first time i read the leaked script, back in like, 2012, i said: "it's so good, but dear god i hope they change the ending." and they didn't. they just did not. and so when i first saw the deadpool movie i was so thrilled but. when the credits rolled i kind of audibly sighed too. because wade shouldn't get that ending. not yet. not until he does the work.

i also would've given vanessa her powers. or i would've at least teased her powers. i think having it be a surprise that wade didn't know is a delight. save it for the sequel, but tease it. or, honestly – the original script kind of did tease it. like, it's very readable that vanessa could be a shapeshifter, in the original script. she's shapeshifter-coded.

i think i wouldn't do a deadpool movie without first doing it as an origin – the set-up is so important. i don't have any sort of grand plotline i'd do with wade. maybe i'd love to write a cable and deadpool movie – or an x-force movie – god, i want an x-force movie so bad. but honest to god, there's not really any plotlines i'm eager to adapt for the big screen. wade wilson has decidedly less interesting villains and storylines than spider-man has, unfortunately. like, sorry. all his villains kind of are stupid. they've really tried to give him villains but, dear god. the best villain he's ever been up against is his ex-wife. and i don't know, i don't think i particularly want to see shiklah in the movies. i think i'd much rather see grounded, personal stories with wade – ones that don't deal with monsters and supernatural beasts – but, with other mutants, i guess.

if i were to pitch a new fresh deadpool movie in the existing deadpool franchise, save for an x-force movie, i'd love to see wade being recruited as an x-chaperone, and having to look after all these mutant kids but him being completely out of his depth throughout, and they drag him on some huge "world-ending-stakes" adventure but actually, the personal stakes stay very small, and it's almost a ferris buellers day off affair but with more spandex. these kids with their powers run amok and wade's trying to wrangle them but is also whisked away in all the fun of it and is actually worse than they are when it comes to staying well-behaved. they take over the macy's parade... maybe logan swoops in to yank wade by the ear... other x-men cameos abound. that's a deadpool movie i'd love to see. if i were to make a fresh one, that would be it. ferris bueller's day off, but with more spandex.

#sci talks movies #deadpool #ask me about my agenda for making wade a chaperone at the x-mansion #not like that is the entire conceit of the deadpool tv-show pilot i've been hacking away at a glacial pace over this year #and not like coughcoughcough thosearemyplansforwade'sfuturein9319coughcoughcoughcou #i think it's where he belongs. and if i were to pitch a deadpool comic series it would be the same. i just want to see it. #not me planning for both wade and peter to wind up as teachers #my nefarious plans..

gotta say i've been in quite a few fandoms but i don't think any of them are quite as unabashedly queer as the gomens fandom is. it's very comfy here

#marzi speaks #i mean it's bound to happen when the show's like the queerest love story of the fucking generation #but in a lot of fandoms i see a lot of like. arguing over tiny inconsequential things or a fear of being too weird #but here? none of that. #no fighting over what labels anyone would use because they aren't human! they don't need human labels! #nobody is weird about aziraphale being fat. he is drawn fat he is written fat and he is lusted after by a solid chunk of the fandom for it #people fuck around with pronouns for the characters all the time bc they can. that makes me happy #the fanfic is all so so queer. down to the kinks #no bullshit top/bottom discourse either. everyone just seems to live and let live #idk it's just very. refreshing #i've spent a lot of time in fandoms where arguing and queerbait (cough cough ACE ATTORNEY coughcoughcough) occur #and while i can handle that and have even learned to find it funny #it's. very nice. to see a space that focuses less on exactly how these two fictional characters are queer and are they Gay or Bisexual #or Do Not Sully My Cinnamon Roll Character With Your Smut They Would Never (note: they would) #but instead just. focusing on being queer #it makes me very very very happy

The Dark Lord decided to cause trouble and sent an army to attack you? Unleash The Protagonist on him, he can handle it all by himself. After all, The Antagonist stayed at home in his castle and his defeat will lead to collapse of his whole army. Everyone knows that generals in the field are helpless without a Dark Lord (who’s sitting at home by the hearth). Furthermore, they telepathically sense that their master is no longer at the helm and immediately lay down their weapons.

The Protagonist is lucky! The army is not at home, and his opponent has kept only a few bodyguards at his side. After a three-hour journey on foot between the capitals, Our Hero penetrates the chambers of The Dark Lord, who tells the guards not to interfere. A duel ensues, during which The Bad Guy's defeated. The Protagonist orders the guards to throw their master into a dungeon. Although they do not receive pay from him, they do obey him. The Hero then goes to speak to the army, who as one man acknowledges that their master was seriously evil. Occasionally, thousands of soldiers respond to the hero in unison. ...if they didn't disappear like steam over a pot in the meantime, because it was a magical army.

11 Roselie/Ryoto

The hot while being cold couple~

11: Taking a Bath Together.

Ryoto sighed at the feeling of the warm water lapping at his sore muscles, the dragon blinking his eyes open lazily when he felt a shift in the water around him, eyes casually tracing Roselie’s bare body as she lowered herself into the bath and into his lap.

“Hey,”

Ryoto purred out, slipping a hand down and around Roselie’s waist, giving out a soft “oof…” when her tail curled up and out of the bath, the fur heavy and dripping with water, as she slapped the dragon softly on the chest.

“Hey yourself,”

Roselie leaned closer, pressing her chest against his, and curling her paws into his hair, working out the knots and massaging Ryoto’s scalp. “That’s it, there you go.”

Roselie purred and pressed a firm kiss to Ryoto’s neck, running her teeth along his skin. “There’s my relaxed dragon,” she murmured, pressing closer when Ryoto’s hand moved up to her shoulders. “Did you get into another fight?”

Ryoto didn’t answer, simply squeezing Roselie tighter, burying his face against her shoulder.

Showrooms of LANCER Manufacturers

IPS-N

IPS-N showrooms are what you'd get if you slammed a truck dealership, a hardware store, a camping gear shop and a sports bar together in the Bass Pro Shops Pyramid. We're talking row upon row of shelves stocked with the most precision-engineered engine parts you can print on one side of the floor, and on the other, durable, hard-wearing survival gear. Camping stoves you can run off of your mech's coldcore, sleeping bags that'll survive a HEX charge, automatic camo cloth, the works.

Right down the middle, you've got the mech floor. They've got the Tortuga. They've got the Blackbeard. They've got the Drake. They've got the Lancaster and the Kidd. They've got the Vlad (they put a chain-link fence covered in DO NOT TOUCH signs around that one after the infamous CFO's 10-year-old Incident). They've even got the Raleigh, kinda tucked away a little bit behind the water feature, but it's there!

Everything on the shop floor is ruggedized to the point that you could take a mech's fist to it without leaving a dent - and they sometimes do that to demonstrate the engineering quality. There's a giant screen hanging from the ceiling displaying constant advertising for the mechs and IPS-N in general, usually striding purposefully through idyllic Diasporan wilderness or doing hard, honest work like starship loading or construction. There's a mixtape of the most famous bro-country hits playing 24/7.

Smith-Shimano Corpro

In a word: bespoke. Everything in this place is custom. Each and every desk is individually built according to the height of the salesperson who sits behind it, and manages to be a unique art piece without disrupting the overarching aesthetic of the showroom. Whenever there's a change of staff on the sales floor, they rearrange every single desk so that they're still in ascending order.

All of the salespeople are inhumanly pretty, by the way. This atelier has its own fully-staffed makeup and wardrobe team. You're part of a work of art when you work for SSC. Everything and everyone gleams. Even the most chic visitors might feel underdressed in the midst of all this splendour.

The mechs aren't just there to be sold, they're there to be part of the experience. You might see a Monarch holding up the ceiling like the titan Atlas himself. A Mourning Cloak might be posed provocatively like a nude statue. That Swallowtail - is it in a slightly different position every time you see it, or is that just its camouflage decals? How does it always manage to be just inside your line of sight, even when you're looking somewhere else?

They have a catwalk, like you'd see at a fashion show, but it's sized for mechs. If they really think you might make a purchase, they'll queue up the entire performance for you, and you'll get to see a Viceroy strut.

The mix tape for this showroom is a seamless mixture of complex jazz, psychedelic ambient and classical piano music. It's sophisticated and mysterious.

Harrison Armory

Imagine if America could be a showroom. Harrison Armory mech outlets are part dealership, part museum. Every mech is in its own diorama, depicting some heroic event in the Armory's glorious history. A phalanx of Sherman Mk. Is holds the line against some Diasporan slaver-tyrant's army. A Saladin fends off Karrakin hordes during the Interest War. The Genghis Mk. II? Oh, that diorama isn't open right now, it had to be closed for *coughcoughcough* and *coughcoughcough* but let's move on shall we heh heh

Everyone who works here has been in the Colonial Legion at some point, and knows every specification of the mechs they sell off by heart without even looking at their slate. If possible, the Armory tries to employ people who have actual combat experience with the mechs they're selling; people who can speak to the efficacy of their technology first-hand. It's one of the many programs which the Armory has open for retired veterans; it's easy work for decent pay, good benefits and it looks great on your Social.

The music here is a constant loop of patriotic Armory anthems. If you've ever heard the music from Starship Troopers, or the Outbreak of War from Star Ocean, you'll know what I'm talking about.

HORUS

Being a decentralized omninet collective with no official branding or even consistent manufacturing standards, it should come as no surprise that HORUS has no showrooms.
