Fic Questions

tagged by @the-lincyclopedia thank you!! (fun game: watch my writing get progressively less formal as the post continues. by the end it’s like what is capitalization)

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

77!

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

434,378 as of this week but it does go up quite regularly

3. How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

Okay so in terms of what’s on my AO3, I have Check Please, All For the Game, Sharp Zero, HP, and Miraculous Ladybug. I also have The Forbidden LOTR and PJO Fanfiction (as in, I’ve written it, but it’s never seeing the light of day)

(technically there is a PJO fic out there that has seen the light of day but I orphaned it because I was tired of getting comments asking about when it would be updated)

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

and then i met you (and the whole world changed)

for the better

Knew It Was You

come home (to you, to us)

sin bin schematics

All of these are Check Please and all of them except Knew It Was You are part of my Zimbits Airport AU!

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I do! It’s actually a very recent thing that I’ve started not responding to literally every single comment. Mainly I respond because I love talking about my writing so I am going to seize that opportunity when it comes up

6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

Oh, DEFINITELY Happy Birthday (HP). Check out that MCD tag ahah. (I say HP but what I really mean is that I write fic about Regulus Black. The Regulus Black-centric tag is my home in the HP fandom)

fun fact: this is a very short fic that I wrote when I was 15 and basically forgot about until recently, and then I reread it recently and went holy shit?? I pulled NO punches????

7. Do you write crossovers? If so, what is the wildest one you’ve written?

Not a ton? I think a lot of the fandoms I write for don’t really mesh that well. That being said, the aforementioned orphaned PJO fic is actually a PJO/ML crossover, so there’s that

8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Nope! Sometimes I get comments that are just.... really confusing? And a more common thing is that in my AFTG fic I’ll get comments from people who are so focused on Andreil (or the most common ships in general) to the point that like. they miss the point of what I actually wrote. Those are annoying but they’re not hate, they’re very enthusiastic, they’re just... enthusiastic about a story I’m not writing? So it’s a bit frustrating.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

No sjflskgjhgf I struggle enough to write kissing, I think if I ever tried to write smut my brain would just shut down. I’ve managed some fade-to-blacks (which are mostly in WIPs that haven’t been posted) but they rely HEAVILY on the powers of implication

10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of!

11. Have you ever had a fic translated?

No, although I have occasionally made a brief go of it, not to post, more as an exercise for myself in a language that I’m learning. Anyway I never finish them so I’m gonna say no

12. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Not really? I’ve definitely group brainstormed fics and then written them (the best example of this being Q&A (AFTG), which was the product of a truly off-the-walls group chat), but I tend to do all the actual writing myself. I think the way I write would drive a co-writer up the wall since it’s very disorganized and I don’t write stuff down because ~I know what’s gonna happen I don’t need notes~ and it would infuriate me if I was co-writing with me lmao, so I won’t inflict that on someone else

13. What’s your all-time favorite ship?

I regularly move through ships I’m SUPER focused on, like it’s kind of a rotation. I will forever and always ship Percabeth though.

14. What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

Okay so if you follow me at @birlwrites you may know this already, but i have this ‘warmups’ document that is just like, random ideas i get that i don’t necessarily want to finish but i just want to try out for a bit? and i have a rule that once a ‘warmup’ is more than 10 pages long (so 11+) then it has to be moved to its own document, just to make scrolling through the warmups doc easier. but usually, a warmup only passes 10 pages when i’m INTO it. so i have a bazillion wips i will probably never finish. i complain about this a lot. i have so many wips. i don’t need more.

here’s one: it’s titled ‘interrobang doesn’t know they’re dating’, it’s basically a full outline for a chowder/tango fic and it would be SO cool if i could ever like. get around to writing it. but i am constantly swamped with writing projects, so it’s probably not gonna happen. if anyone’s interested in adopting it though i’d be down for that!! i think it’s a fun idea i just almost def won’t write it myself

15. What are your writing strengths?

SNAPPY DIALOGUE AND SNARKY INTERNAL MONOLOGUE. my writing is COMEDIC, 90% of my ideas are based on a funny snippet that popped into my head, a lot of my worldbuilding is based on ‘hey you know what would be hilarious’ (whenever i explain how larai selects a chosen one in the rainfall universe i start laughing, which is a STARK contrast to how it plays out on the page), i love writing funny stuff!!

also i think my writing sounds nice, a lot of the time i pick words/syntax based on sound and flow so there’s that too. and i have lots of ideas! i don’t struggle much with writer’s block because a) i have a lot of strategies to deal with it and b) i have a lot of ideas to help get around it/work with it

16. What are your writing weaknesses?

PHYSICAL INTIMACY LMAO, sometimes in my end notes on shippy fics you can see me complaining ‘it took me literally 4 hours to write that very brief kiss’. also sometimes the humor in my writing gets in the way a bit, i have to very consciously put it away so characters can actually have serious, genuine emotions. also i don’t like outlining and i tend not to get betas for fanfiction so like..... i do my best continuity-wise but having really tightly plotted stories is just not my focus lol. (and i do put more effort into that for original stuff, it’s just fic where i kind of go wild)

17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

If the reader’s supposed to know what it means, then writing it in another language is iffy for me. (stuff like terms of endearment which come up a lot in fic are fine imo, you can just put a note in to translate them and your reader will prob remember)

If the pov character isn’t supposed to understand it, and it doesn’t matter if the reader understands it, then ig it’s fine? but unless you already speak the other language (and i am NOT confident in my ability to translate english into literally any other language), then i think it’s way easier to just note that a character’s speaking x language and provide tone indicators, body language cues, etc. so the reader understands as much as the pov character.

That being said there are def times when it’s used super effectively--the dialogue in spanish in cemetery boys comes to mind! that’s not fanfic but it’s still creative writing so w/e

so i guess it comes down to: does actually writing out the dialogue in the other language serve a purpose? if it doesn’t, then you’re filling up the screen with words your reader isn’t likely to understand, which i try to avoid doing

18. What was the first fandom you wrote for?

so the first fandom i actually *wrote* for was PJO, but i distinctly remember creating warrior cats OCs when i was little. i never actually did anything w them but i had them and my favorite was a riverclan warrior named shellstream i remember this VIVIDLY

19. What’s your favorite fic you’ve ever written?

oh boy. okay so this is hard because i feel like i’m continuously improving as a writer. like in the sense that my writing is getting closer and closer to really matching my own taste? my favorites tend to always be my current projects as a result. and i do really love set those ghosts alight (HP) but it feels a little like cheating to say a fic i haven’t even finished writing yet. even though it’s def not cheating, that’s just the direction my brain is taking it.

i’m gonna say and then what? (OMGCP) because i’m super proud of the prose (especially ch 2 aka the first actual prose chapter), survived by (HP) for SUCCESSFULLY WRITING AN EMOTION and making readers cry :), and Q&A (AFTG) because i’m literally the one who wrote it and yet it still makes me wheeze. those are all fics i reread occasionally, because i’m big enough to admit i enjoy rereading my old stuff! (just like. to a point. some of my old stuff i can’t look at anymore because all the mistakes stick out to me like they have spotlights shining directly on them)

this was fun!! i’m gonna do an open tag because i just started my fall semester and brain tired. i know sometimes people see open tags and assume the op didn’t really mean it but I MEAN IT, PLEASE DO THIS AND TAG ME!!!!! YES YOU READING THIS

[scientifichubris]

What are some of your favorite bands? Maybe a good 10 or 15 if you need a number, or maybe some song recommendations? I need some stuff to get into and my taste's been pretty flat for a while and I'm looking for some better stuff! Thank you!!

OKAY AWESOME- I will not rank them bc my brain doesn’t do that. I jump every like 15 mins on what my favorite is SO HERES A NICE LIST OF BANDS WITH SOME SONGS!!! Links as well to youtube/SC bc I love u and want to make it easier afdsgfd I’m listing bands that are “easier” to listen to ig because I don’t know your entire taste. I will, however, pull you into my side of screaming through conditioning and have listed a few to see if you’re chill with it. Bolded is the TLDR version with links if you need it and I speak way too much!

1. The Faint Endless, while currently only on soundcloud, they are coming to spotify soon!! My favorite song of theirs is Celestial Revenge, which happens to have a music video!! I also like We Were Once Invincible and Requiem but G*D I LOVE ALL OF THEM They are… such a fucking inspiration to me and the music I want to make in the future. I try to make everyone listen to them so tbh if you wanna know me listen to them they fuck

(The rest of these you can find on spotify btw)

2. I am going to assume if you follow me you listen to My Chemical Romance, BUT if you don’t here’s some song recs that have different feels they will give you: House of Wolves, Vampire Money, You Know What They Do to Guys Like Us in Prison, Demolition Lovers, and Boy Divison but this list could go on for hours…. There’s so much to list and I couldn’t stop…..It’s for you to find and for you to feel.

3. The Used is super high up on my list! Shame they’re not as popular on here like MCR, like y’all missed 2004 (me too I wasn’t even split then but shhhhhhhhhh i know my history). Really depends on the mood you’re in because they’re either bangers or Sucidical Moments tbh so fair warning. Really got into them when life was super shitty, but they have a lot that aren’t always imma kms. If you’re up for loud shit there is The Back of Your Mouth which I’ve been blasting for a week. Choke Me is good if you wanna hear someone scream “fuck my ass” over and over while you feel dead inside lmao. If you want something more themed for this blog there’s Wake The Dead, although I feel like the mid part ruins it tbh. I want to cover it so I can make it go hard the entire time. I’d recommend the full album Lies For The Liers to get started.

4. If you like Vocaloid and want it in English and like horror then check out GHOST, or Ghost and Pals on spotify. Some of my favorites are Those Who Carried On, Honey I’m Home, and Entomologists, but there’s so much more that is amazingly themed.

5. Red Vox is also really good, but I’d recommend staying away from their album Vomit in the Ballpit because it’s just gross-out humor and I’m not into that. For my oc Franklin I think his voice would sound like Vin’s. They’re releasing a new album soon which I’m excited for, and they released one song early which is Why Can’t This Be Easy. Other songs I really enjoy are: Kerosene (I recommend the album of that same name too def one I use to calm down some nights), Memories Lie, Hazy, and Stranded (if you’re down for a 9 min space themed/star trek downer). I really enjoy their music and it’s another inspiration to me even if the music is a lot more chill. Their music has really calmed me down some nights and I’m thankful.

6. Will Wood and the Tapeworms is good if you just wanna go “oh my god I’m so mentally ill. I am going to break something. Fuck, I can’t remember 2012” Maybe that’s just me though- Anyways, Hand Me My Shovel, I’m Going In! is a banger and good for this blog, and the mv is a mess so its perfect, and absolutely what my mind looks like. Also Dr. Sunshine Is Dead is for this blog. Actually the entire album. Honestly, just listen to the entire album Self-Ish. It’s not great if you’re feeling bad bc its gunna have you screamin’ “I WANT MY MURDER TO LOOK LIKE A SUICIDE” but it’s so good, dude. I’m obsessed. You gotta listen to it in order to get the full effect. Highly recommended if you’re okay enough to do it.

7. Mother Mother, aka mentally ill central, babie. They are an experience. Vauagely horny, drugged up and craving death or something worse? It’s all there! Calm Me Down is blatantly horny, but a jam and an experience, which I recommend the entire album it came off of as a starting place. The Cry Forum is really good, but I always forget the ending has a poem in german. Back To Life is amazing too and I really vibe with it. 

8. Bayside is another really good band and amazing and cheaper fuck you Ticketmaster to see live. Some dick groped me in the pit and a punk punched the shit out of him and protected me the rest of the night and made sure my short ass could still see. The girl I went with got a drum stick handed to her. They’re amazing. Feeling shitty, ex-relationship problems and some Christian guilt mixed in! I highly recommend their latest album, Interrobang. Numb and Prayers are good on that. I feel like I have to recommend Sick Sick Sick and Devotion and Desiresince I’m pretty sure it’s their biggest songs. 

9. The Vincent Black Shadow! I don’t even know how I found them tbh. Stupid Intruders is something I blast a lot. Metro is relatable, unfortunately. The House of Tasteful Men is very 👌 I die. They need more recognition….. 

10. Halestorm! Female led metalish rock is very good. Very Vent-y songs for me, but very good and sexy. I Miss The Misery is very popular for good reason/  You Call Me A Bitch Like It’s A Bad Thing, Freak Like Me and  Killing Ourselves To Live are definitely my favorites. Also a big inspo to me as someone with a feminine voice/presenting that wants to sing! 

I’m kinda foggy right now so ten is my max! Hope you enjoy

taz amnesty episode 9: screenplay

INT. THE CHASM, SYLVAINE. WE PICK UP WHERE WE LEFT OFF. We see a wide shot of the PINE GUARD standing over this chasm under the city. The air is still, water drips down into the catacombs.

HEATHCLIFF I prefer to keep my dealings clean and concise, but I can assume that with your current knowledge of Sylvaine being what it is, that would be baaasically impossible, so, I have what you need and you have what I want, and I do not want this interaction to be interrupted by your ceaseless questions-

AUBREY Fluffy!

HEATHCLIFF Yes, much like that, so maybe we could get through this quickly-

AUBREY Fluffyyy!

HEATHCLIFF Before we move on: yes, I’m a gigantic cat. No, you may not pet me. You may not pet me.

AUBREY Who’s a good kitty?

HEATHCLIFF You may not pet me. I just met you. Any other questions before we start?

DUCK Yeah, I’ve got a question that ends in an interrobang: A talking cat?!

HEATHCLIFF Yeah. Get used to it, mister, I’m breaking all the rules over here- I talk, I’m the size of a moderately-sized building. I defy expectations in many ways, but you’ve decided to settle on my power of speech, so that’s your bag.

DUCK So, what’re you doing down here?

HEATHCLIFF Well, I’m a little too big to fit anywhere topside, aren’t I?

DUCK Well, that’s a fun way of dodging my question. What do you do?

HEATHCLIFF Here I am surrounded by the light of Sylvaine in its purest, rawest form, and so I spend most of my time down here tinkering around with that power. That’s why they call me the Enchanter, you see, and that is what has brought you to me today. I assume you seek my services to empower one of your pieces of equipment or perhaps generate a new one for you, as the case may be. I assume you seek the same arrangement that I have maintained with the other members of the Pine Guard. Any other questions before we move on? Again, I do not wanna be interrupted.

AUBREY So we just ask you for stuff? And you give it to us?

HEATHCLIFF I mean, I’m not a mind reader, I’m a cat!

AUBREY So like, I would say “I would like a magic wand!” and you would be like “Yeah!” and hand me one?

HEATHCLIFF I wouldn’t hand you one, I’d generate you one from the Ether, summoning it from the blackest depths of Sylvaine, but yeah, that could be how the arrangement works. You ask, and I shall provide, my man.

DUCK Yeah, I got a request. Do you do exchanges?

NED laughs.

HEATHCLIFF I’m curious to hear what you think would satisfy my mysterious needs.

DUCK Trade ‘em ups? I got this sword, and I would love to trade it for… anything? A nice whip? And when I say a nice whip, I mean a good quality one, but also one that is of a gentle, caring spirit. Y’know, just a nice, kind whip-

AUBREY Supportive…

DUCK Supportive… won’t be, like, sort of picking at me… constantly. If you have anything, I would love to trade you, and I can kick in… um…

He takes his wallet from a pocket and thumbs through it.

DUCK $17.

HEATHCLIFF I have no need for- I’m not familiar with what the exchange rate stands at right now, but I won’t be needing that. I am curious about the sword, though.

He places his gigantic, furry paw on the ledge. DUCK jumps back.

DUCK Oh, god!

HEATHCLIFF I’m- it’s- whatever. Do you mind if I examine your blade?

DUCK takes BEACON out of the sheath.

BEACON Oh, Duck Newton, this is adoooorable. A lover’s quarrel, eh, Duck?

DUCK Shut up, Beacon, god. Here, take the fucking sword.

He hands the sword over to HEATHCLIFF, who raises it up to his face. He takes out a huge jeweler’s eyeglass, and examines it very closely. A moment later, HEATHCLIFF smiles and hands it back to DUCK.

HEATHCLIFF This weapon is quite curious! Sorry, what was your name?

DUCK Yeah, I’m Duck Newton, it’s a nickname. I’m on the Forestry Service for the Monongahela State Forest, and also, I guess… the Pine Guard.

HEATHCLIFF This weapon is indeed imbued with magic, but it is not our magic. This is a curious artifact, Duck Newton. I would be happy to take it off your hands, provided your ask is fair.

DUCK What- what do you mean?

HEATHCLIFF What would you require from me in exchange? Would a really kickass whip really do it?

DUCK I mean it would have to be- aw, shit, man. I’m losing my nerve… ‘cause Minerva-

NED and AUBREY giggle.

DUCK That was unintentional, but um. Minerva gave it to me and I figure she probably had her reasons. I was acting impulsively, Heathcliff, I apologize.

HEATHCLIFF Hmm. Okay.

NED And all you need is Minerva to come over, see it hanging on the wall, all of a sudden there’s bad juju with you guys- yeah, you don’t want that.

DUCK Right. “Hey, Duck, I’d love to see your great sword. Can you show it to me real quick.” And I do a thing where I’m like, “Yeah, it’s in the bathroom, hold on let me go get it.” And then she would go to the bathroom and the window’d be open and I’d be trucking it down the street. So, anyway, I’m sorry.

HEATHCLIFF It’s quite alright. I’m deeply curious about your blade, maybe someday we can find an arrangement-

DUCK I would think you’d be extra careful with being curious there, I’d imagine that goes triple for a kitty of your size, eh?

HEATHCLIFF Yeah, that is a good point. I do not have many opportunities to be curious down here in the-

DUCK Probably safer.

HEATHCLIFF Yes, quite. So, you mentioned an elemental you seek to slay and I do not know of this elemental of which you speak but if you need to destroy something intangible, it would make sense that you require a weapon that can attack intangibly. This is kitten’s play. You there, the old one.

NED Hmm?

HEATHCLIFF I see there you have a primitive Earth revolver, it is a thing of... complete ugliness, but I can give it an arcane makeover the likes of which you’ve never seen if you wish.

NED Well, first of all, let me explain. This gun was once owned by Eliot Ness, the famous G-Man and I, well, um, I borrowed it from a museum. But this is quite a collector’s piece, so what are you suggesting?

HEATHCLIFF I magic it up, my man! Unless you have something else you’d like me to enchant?

NED hums nervously.

NED Now, what’s all this going to cost us?

HEATHCLIFF I sense upon you an item I have desired for quite some time. The earrings once belonging to Moira. I have admired these pendulous beauties for many years before her exile from this place, a subject I am not at liberty to go on about.

NED puts his hand in the pocket containing said earrings.

NED I’m not exactly sure I know what you’re talking about.

DUCK We’ll trade you the earrings. That’s fine.

NED Well, Duck! I don’t- Duck!

AUBREY Hold on! We’ll trade you one earring for that.

HEATHCLIFF I’ll make you a deal: You hand me over Moira’s earrings, which I have not seen since she was exiled and! Before you say anything! I could not possibly dish the goss on this one, do not press me on it. I hate the goss, and I think it is disgusting-

AUBREY Can I stop you right there?

HEATHCLIFF Yes.

AUBREY It kind of sounds like you want to dish the goss.

HEATHCLIFF I would never dish the goss. I would never dish the goss.

AUBREY [fondly] Oh, Heathcliff.

HEATHCLIFF Tell you what, you hand me over both earrings, I will count them as two gifts to me and therefore will increase the potency of the magic I imbue your tools with.

NED What do you guys think?

AUBREY Does Ned get one, and I get one, and Duck gets one, or what’s the deal here?

HEATHCLIFF Oh, there’s no need for me to be that prudent, I’m just chock-a-block full of magic so each of you will receive a gift.

DUCK Oh, hell yeah. Do it, give him the earrings. What do we care?  We didn’t even know about him forty-five minutes ago.

NED All right, how about-

AUBREY He makes an excellent point.

NED All right! Here, here, earrings! Here there are! They are really lustrous, so try not to schmooze them up with your cat fur.

HEATHCLIFF No need to be mean. Ned, what do you want?

NED I would like you to enchant something I already have.

HEATHCLIFF Okay, let’s have it then.

AUBREY His butt!

NED Well-

HEATHCLIFF You want an ench- I think it's already quite enchanting!

NED Th- thanks? Um, when we discovered we were dealing with something mostly made of water I thought of this item, which I obtained a number of years ago from a man named Reyn Guyer. He's the man who invented-

He opens his coat.

NED -the NERF gun. It's a very historical piece, very sought after. And I thought, perhaps, you could enchant this NERF because, hey, what better against something that's made of water than NERF darts.

HEATHCLIFF [sarcastic] Yeah, can’t fault your logic there. [DUCK: I can.] Uh, that completely holds up to any level of scrutiny or logic. You want me to enchant your NERF gun, and not your gun gun?

NED Yeah! The gun gun doesn't do shit against water stuff.

HEATHCLIFF [sarcastic] No, it definitely needs the power of NERF.

AUBREY Well, if it ain't NERF…

NED It's nothin’!

AUBREY Exactly!

NED Maybe it could shoot harder, maybe? Uhh, maybe-

DUCK Like a really hard-hitting NERF Blaster.

NED Yeah.

AUBREY Or you could just put a push-pin in the darts. That really hurts, y’know what I mean?

DUCK You were a nasty kid, huh?

AUBREY [proudly] Yep!

HEATHCLIFF Okay, I love this. I've enchanted so many things, nobody has thought to bring me a NERF gun, for reasons unknown to me. I could give it a magical enchantment that could turn it into the weapon that you desire. Um-

NED Awesome!

AUBREY Should we change its name? Give it a magical name? We could call it-

DUCK NARF blaster.

AUBREY/NED [in haunting unison] NARF blaster.

HEATHCLIFF Uh, hand it right over.

He extends his paw, and NED places the NERF blaster in it. HEATHCLIFF takes the NERF Blaster and descends down into the depths. He’s down there for a few moments, where there is a gust of wind and a blast of light from down in the depths that shoots forward to the ceiling of this chamber. There’s a loud screeching meow from below, then HEATHCLIFF comes back up and hands NED his new enchanted NARF BLASTER. The barrel where the pellets were previously stored is now a cylinder of blue stone crackling with energy.

HEATHCLIFF Okay, that one was tricky because it was a toy for a baby, but, um, here’s your NARF-

AUBREY Hey! NARF is for big kids!

HEATHCLIFF You're right, sorry, it's a big kid toy. Um, do either of you- the rest of you have something you would like?

AUBREY Yes, darling Heathcliff. I have kept running into a problem with this elemental. I can do fire magic really good and fire magic doesn't seem to be hurting this water thing. I would like to do ice, please.

HEATHCLIFF Now, wait just a moment. You're an earthling, right?

AUBREY Yeah.

HEATHCLIFF Why can you do fire magic?

AUBREY Dunno.

He eyes her over. He lowers his huge face right next to AUBREY, and we get a better sense of his scale- his head alone is three times her height. He leans back.

HEATHCLIFF [puzzled] You are full of Sylvaine’s power. I don’t know how you were so infused if you were born on Earth, but that… that is what I see, I can see it as plain as the stars in the sky. Well, if we were above ground, I mean. [AUBREY: Uh-huh.] I can see it as plain as that guy’s hat. I see, though, you want ice magic. Hm. I’m afraid my mastery of the elements is somewhat limited; ironically, I, too, can work in fire. Ice is a little bit above my pay grade. I apologize for the shortcoming, if you have another idea in mind, I can see what I can do.

AUBREY Could you just, like, make my jacket magic, that would be great! Something that makes my jacket protect me or something?

HEATHCLIFF I can make that happen. Lemme see what I can do.

He sticks his paw out. Aubrey takes off her denim vest and places it on one of his huge toe beans (which are cute as fuck). A few moments later he rises back from the depths after the same flash and meow, the whole production, and he hands over the vest. As he opens up his palm, we see bright red shimmering thread now coursing through the vest.

HEATHCLIFF Well, um, it is going to afford you some protection. I'm not entirely sure it'll be the most discreet garment around, but, uh, here ya have it!

AUBREY puts the jacket back on. The buttons clink together noisily.

HEATHCLIFF And Duck, anything you require my friend?

DUCK lets out a sharp breath of air.

DUCK You do jetpacks?

HEATHCLIFF [shocked] A jetpack, uhhhhh... uhhhh… a jetpack?

DUCK Mm-hmm.

HEATHCLIFF I'm- I’m thinking.

DUCK Just asking. I get to ask for anything, and I just- I always kinda wanted a jetpack, so I thought I'd ask.

HEATHCLIFF I could- I could give you a jetpack. I make no guarantees as to whether or not it would let you fly around or not or if it would explode. I've never made a jetpack before, you gotta understand.

DUCK Not a very- very good jetpack, really.

HEATHCLIFF Alright, I’ll make you a- I'll make you a goddamn jetpack, my friend.

DUCK No, but I mean if you can't promise me that it's gonna let me, like, fly and be alive then I [crosstalk] would say it sounds like-

HEATHCLIFF [shouting] No, let's make a jetpack, because now I'm feeling attacked! Let's make a fuckin’ jetpack!

DUCK Can I say, I feel like I don't actually- I'm not sure I want the pressure of having [crosstalk] a jetpack.

HEATHCLIFF [shouting] No, one jetpack coming right up!

DUCK People expect big things from a man with a jetpack. That is kind of one of my concerns.

HEATHCLIFF begins slowly descending down into the ether.

HEATHCLIFF Here I goooo! [crosstalk] Jetpack-

DUCK You gotta produce if you got a jetpack, y’know?

HEATHCLIFF Jetpack time!

DUCK I mean... if you could make uh, a good one. You kind of spooked me with a little bit of the jetpack- he's gone. He's just gone down in his hole.

HEATHCLIFF

Okay, I'm gonna do it! I'm gonna make a jetpack!

DUCK If you could make a cool jetpack then I'll want a jetpack, but, like, you said we could ask for anything. You didn't really put any boundaries and, like, that's the thing that I would like is a jetpack, and I feel like I could make use of it. I thought about enchanting Beacon, but he probably wouldn't even let me.

BEACON Yesss.

DUCK Do you have a really- do you have any really quiet sheaths? Just some really, really quiet sheaths?

HEATHCLIFF pops back up, his great pink nose level with the ground.

HEATHCLIFF [still somewhat aggressive] You don't want to make the jetpack? What do you want, a sheath or a jetpack? So you don't want the jetpack? Aww, I was so excited to make a jetpack. I find a way to make you a jetpack.

DUCK It would output a lot of fire and I don't- that would be a forest risk. It wouldn't even be a most convenient way of getting around the forest, which is kinda the main thing I was hoping for. Yeah, so- I-  yeah, jetpack. But, like, a magic one and not, like, a fire one. Can you do that?

HEATHCLIFF You're really tying my paws here. You want a jetpack but a magic one, not a fire one?

DUCK Yeah.

HEATHCLIFF You have to understand, when I create an item like this, I summon it from the ether. I have to have a crystal clear picture of it in my mind, and what you've just described is an object that doesn't exist. And yet, I just enchanted a old, old NARF gun so I'm feeling a little feisty. So yeah, one magic jetpack, coming right up!

He descends into the chasm, and we see the same lights and sounds from AUBREY and NED’s items. HEATHCLIFF comes up from the depths with a confused look on his face.

HEATHCLIFF I made it as good as I can. I'll say this, this is the best magic jetpack in existence.

DUCK Thanks.

HEATHCLIFF So you can feel confident about that, but, uh, here ya go!

He opens his paw and we see THE FLY MASTER. It’s similar to The Rocketeer, with it’s retro-futurism. Silver, with two canisters that reach two points, and from the bottom of them, there's a spooky blue-purple constant thrumming. HEATHCLIFF smiles and puts the FLY MASTER at DUCK’s feet, who eyes it with apprehension.

HEATHCLIFF Well, it seems like that's a good day of doing biz. I will see you all next time you've run into a quandary that need my magical services to assist you in.

He takes the earrings and closes his giant paw around them, gives the PINE GUARD a little wink, and descends into the depths with a whoosh. END SCENE.

INT. THE SURFACE OF SYLVAINE. The castle has a courtyard leading up towards a large staircase into the castle’s imposing front door. AUBREY stares at the large orange crystal with wide, longing eyes. There's a fleet of city guards standing in a perimeter around the crystal, shepherding a line of residents of SYLVAINE in a queue toward it. One by one, residents reach the front of the line, produce a slip of paper to the guards, and quickly touch the crystal, before another guard steps in to quickly usher them away.

VINCENT Uh, I would appreciate it if you would all give that crystal a wide berth.

AUBREY [reverent] What is that?

VINCENT Well, that's the Heart of Sylvaine. It's what sustains all of us over here.

AUBREY What's everybody doing?

VINCENT They're getting their allotment of life for the day. They're filling up the ol’ tank.

AUBREY looks at DUCK and NED.

AUBREY So, what should we do, y'all feel that?

DUCK Yeah, I don't feel anything.

NED No, huh-uh.

AUBREY Vincent, um, I can feeeeeel the crystal. Is that normal?

VINCENT What do you feel, Aubrey?

AUBREY Uh, like it wants a hug? Like, I wanna touch it.

VINCENT You absolutely can't touch it, Aubrey.

AUBREY I wanna touch it, though. Like, really bad, I wanna touch it.

He stands up straight and glares.

VINCENT Aubrey, you absolutely cannot touch it. I forbid it.

AUBREY What would happen?

VINCENT I don't know what would happen, but-

DUCK Seems like she can touch it then, right?

AUBREY If the- like, the crystal wants me to touch it, it feels sad.

VINCENT gestures to the crowd.

VINCENT Wouldn't you be sad, seeing this? You can't touch the crystal. Earthlings are forbidden to- the crystal was damaged, as you can see.

He points, and sure enough there’s a large, missing chunk.

VINCENT It was damaged long ago by an attack from your world against ours. That was led by humans, Aubrey. Usually, humans are forbidden to be this close to the heart. Its power has faded since that attack. There's not enough light to go around. It is a sad state of affairs in Sylvaine and it's solely because of your people, so, no, you cannot touch it. Come on, let's go, they're expecting us.

AUBREY ...aren't you curious though, as to why I can feel it?

He sighs and shakes his head.

VINCENT I am, but not enough to allow something so risky, so profane. C’mon.

They head into a large entrance hall, where there is a long blue carpet leading up to a large, wooden door between a dozen pillars of carved marble lining the other side of the carpet. Each one has an armed guard stationed in front of it, and the PINE GUARD nervously eye them as they pass. When they reach the door, VINCENT turns around and addresses them in an official-sounding voice.

VINCENT So, I've gotta go in first. A guard will tell you when you're allowed to enter. You all seem quite pleasant, your obsession with touching the crystal aside, and I would prefer to continue working with you as the Pine Guard if possible. You would not believe some of the humans I've had to interact with over the past few decades. I like the three of you, so please be on your best behavior in there. I know how vital the work you do on Earth is for our peace to stay intact, but the rest can't be said for all Sylvan kind. Just keep a level head, you're gonna do great.

He gives a big, furry thumbs up and slips through the door, closing it behind him.

NED I know one thing about Sylvaine, the military has gotta be the number one employer. There's guards every whipstitch!

AUBREY/DUCK Whipstitch?

NED It’s a colloquialism.

AUBREY Okay…

DUCK Alright.

AUBREY I know what Ned’s gonna say… Duck!

DUCK Yeah?

AUBREY I want to touch.

DUCK Yeah, you've made that pretty clear.

AUBREY Yeah, I wasn't secretive, but, maybe not right now-  

DUCK Right?

AUBREY -but, like, at some point you gonna help me out with that?

DUCK Why do you need to touch it?

AUBREY I don't know, Duck! It's just- okay, imagine walking by, say, a tree and suddenly that tree made you, like, buzz an you could feel the presence of that tree, like, really feel that tree. Do you think you would just be like, “Hm, cool,” and keep walking?

DUCK ...yeah, it doesn't exactly work like that, but I see where you're coming from.

AUBREY Right!

DUCK But, um, I don't necessarily wanna get on the bad side of these folks. It seems like kind of a dangerous thing to try. I mean, they say you shouldn't touch the crystal.

AUBREY I'm not gonna touch it now, and I will continue to work through the proper means to convince them to allow me to touch it.

DUCK Yeah, I mean, if you file all the required permits-

AUBREY But at some point!

NED No, no, that's not the way to go. Ya gotta bend the rules a little bit!

AUBREY No. Thank you, Granddad Devil. I knooow, at some point... [quickly] I might have to break the rules to touch that stone. And Duck, I'm gonna need you to be okay with that. I'll give you a heads up before it happens.

DUCK Maybe the opposite. Maybe even the opposite. Maybe you just don't tell me that it's happening and maybe [AUBREY: Okay.] I'm not around. How's that sound?

AUBREY We'll figure it out.

DUCK Okay, well, tell you what, maybe we shou- I've had a really good time shopping and not touching crystals today. We do have the one water monster that has marked us for death [NED: Mm-hm.] that we may wanna go ahead and [NED: There's that.] see if we can rectify that situation.

We hear the sound of a spear’s butt hitting the ground, the door opens and the three of them grab each other’s hands, almost reflexively, and enter into the castle’s royal hall.

It is a cold room almost entirely carved from the same marble as the columns outside with a ceiling that stretches into the heavens, painted with an intricate mural of dozens of SYLPHS of all shapes and sizes, all touching the crystal. There are rows of benches climbing the walls of the rooms, designated for observers to come and watch the proceedings, all completely empty. In front of the PINE GUARD are three tall pedestals adorned with crests noting various royal titles, three individuals sitting atop them. There is the MINISTER OF THE ARCANE, a short SYLVAN woman dressed in a thick coat with several thick scarves draped around her neck. She's reading a large tome atop her pedestal and does not in any way acknowledge their presence. In the center pedestal is the MINISTER OF PRESERVATION, an older, large, spectral man, who looks down from his pedestal at their entry, eyeing them with disdain. Atop the final pedestal is the MINISTER OF DEFENSE- VINCENT. He gives them a wink and a quick okay sign. The door shuts and the sound echoes through the chamber. The three ministers sit atop their pedestals, silently.

AUBREY Should we kneel?

DUCK Yep, maybe.

MINISTER OF PRESERVATION [shouting] Silence!

DUCK O-okay…

MINISTER OF PRESERVATION You will not speak until the Interpreter has arrived. Do you understand me?!

DUCK ..yeah-

MINISTER OF PRESERVATION [shouting] Silence, god!

AUBREY starts passing a small flame from finger to finger.

MINISTER OF PRESERVATION What are you doin- don't make a fire! Just wait silently for the Inter-

AUBREY No, I was just practicing- I didn't even-

MINISTER OF PRESERVATION Silence, oh my god! We had a whole thing about silence!

AUBREY [mumbling] I didn't even notice I was doing it, sorry.

NED You people are so rule-oriented! [crosstalk] Just relax!

MINISTER OF PRESERVATION Oh my god, the non-silence is almost unbelievable at this point. It’s- oh, oh, oh!

He falls silent as the sound of a loud creak fills the chamber. A door behind the three pedestals open and a SYLVAN girl, no older than thirteen, steps through the door and onto a platform that is raised behind the three pedestals. She looks tired, partially because she's wearing a long nightgown that reaches her feet. There is a humble throne on this platform which she approaches and puts a hand on but doesn't sit down in. She peers over the railing of this platform and looks at the AUBREY, DUCK, and NED one at a time, and gives a faint smile.

THE INTERPRETER Nice to meet you.

And she turns and shuffles back through the door and out of the royal hall.

MINISTER OF PRESERVATION [dryly] Yes, well… another inspiring declaration. So then, humans, go ahead, introduce yourselves.

AUBREY Okay?

DUCK I'm Duck Newton, it's a nickname. I'm from the forestry service, the Monongahela State Forest, and the Pine Guard, apparently.

MINISTER OF PRESERVATION You smell of, uh, earthen mulch. It's not entirely unpleasant. Usually your kind have a certain stink about you. Yours is above average.

DUCK Yeah, um. Okay, that’s weird, but alright.

AUBREY Uh, my name is Aubrey Little. You can call me The Lady Flame, if you’re a fan, and, um, I'm kind of from all over. Human, Pine Guard, and I am dying to know what I smell like.

MINISTER OF PRESERVATION Mm, yours is... unremarkable. You smell of denim. You smell of crisp denim.

AUBREY [mockingly] Fresh from the horse.

NED And I am Ned Aloysius Chicane, master of all I survey!

AUBREY What?

DUCK Hmm?

NED Toastmaster!

AUBREY Oh, okay.

MINISTER OF PRESERVATION I see, I see. Have the three of you any confirmed kills of the Abominations on the other side? Do you have anything to prove your mettle?

AUBREY Yeah, actually, we put one down.

MINISTER OF PRESERVATION I see, I, uh, I suppose you will do, not that we have any choice in the matter. So, my name is Woodbridge, Minister of Preservation. I ensure the-

AUBREY Hi!

WOODBRIDGE Hi, yes. I ensure the survival of our kind in the wake of your world’s countless ruthless assaults.

AUBREY Yeah, we can be real assholes.

WOODBRIDGE points to the woman dressed in the thick clothing. She’s got dark skin and messy, shoulder-length hair tucked behind her ears.

WOODBRIDGE This taciturn individual to my right is the Minister of the Arcane, Janelle, who spends her days in unending study of Sylvaine’s deepest mysteries. And to my left is Vincent, Minister of Defense, whom I assume, based on the fact that he winked at you as you entered, that you've already befriended. I encourage you to take that with a large grain of salt, he has never met an earthling whom he was not instantly fond of.

AUBREY Um, Miss Janelle, was it?

JANELLE turns the page of the book she’s reading and doesn’t react.

AUBREY I'm a human that can do magic.

That does it. She looks up, just for a second, and eyes her over.

AUBREY Watch!

AUBREY successfully whips up a fireball, but, instead of staying put in her hand, it launches forward, as if with a mind of its own, toward JANELLE’s pedestal, who reflexively ducks down as the fireball collides with it, setting it ablaze and engulfing the book she was reading.

AUBREY Tha- that was an accident!

JANELLE pops back up and waves her hand. As she does so, the fire swirls and dies down and she sits back atop pedestal. She looks at the now charred and destroyed book in front of her. She sighs and closes it.

AUBREY I cannot stress enough how much of an accident that was, and also, if you think about it, a clear indication that I might need your help.

WOODBRIDGE looks absolutely scandalized.

JANELLE It's... fine, Woodbridge, it’s fine. I mean, this book was rumored to contain the secrets of a spell that, if prepared properly, could cure any known disease, and I had just gotten to the good part, but, oh well. Spilled milk and all that. So, what can I do for you?

AUBREY I... am good... at fire, sort of. All evidence to the contrary. Um, but that's all I can do and I need more control and I need more versatility and I need to be able to do things other than just set stuff on fire, please. If you could just- I will read a book about it if that's easier, or if you wanna, like, tap me on the forehead and I fall asleep for a minute and I come back and I know a bunch of stuff, that would be great. Or if there's, like, a magic pie I could eat, that would be cool. Whatever you've got, I need it.

JANELLE [sarcastic] Unfortunately, I am fresh out of magic pie, so we may have to do things the old fashioned way. [sincere] I need you to understand though, Aubrey, I live a life that necessitates unwavering focus on my studies to unlock Sylvaine’s secrets so that our people might live a better life. And yet, your presence here is a puzzle I will no doubt be consumed by until it is solved, which is deeply, profoundly inconvenient. That being said, I have set aside a few brief moments of each day from my studies to fulfill my biological requirements and breathe a few breaths of the sweet night air. I suppose I can grant you some of this time, Aubrey Little. I will learn how you came across your fledgling power and you will learn from me how to hone it. All that I would ask is that, when you do visit me for these lessons, you will wait for me to be ready. Tell me, is patience one of your more valued virtu-

AUBREY Yes!

JANELLE smiles. NED laughs so hard he bends over. DUCK bites back and grin. AUBREY bows.

AUBREY Thank you everybody, I'll be here all day!

JANELLE ...no, I detect an unrelenting impatience that dwells within you. It makes sense now that fire is the element that has answered your call. Fire is foolhardy, it is impulsive, it is a force of blind destruction. You treat it as a weapon and it behaves as such. Consider this until next we meet, Aubrey Little, you cannot speak to the other elements because you do not know their language. You will be unable to harness all of the elements until you stop thinking of them as primitive weapons and instead treat them as they truly are, as blessings from a cosmic force beyond your current comprehension. I look forward to our first lesson.

She reaches into her pocket and pulls out a small pocket watch.

JANELLE Three minutes and 51 seconds. I'll have to make this up tonight.

She reaches under her pedestal and retrieves another gigantic book, which she cracks open and dives right into.

AUBREY O-okay…?

WOODBRIDGE Do you have anything else? We already sort of did the big meeting with the Interpreter, so… if you-

AUBREY Who is that, by the way?

WOODBRIDGE The Interpreter is, um, something of a leader of our community. She literally interprets the will of Sylvaine by speaking to it and understanding its-

AUBREY Like the stone?

WOODBRIDGE The stone is but a part of Sylvaine. Sylvaine is the planet upon which we all stand.

AUBREY But she can speak to the stone?

WOODBRIDGE She can speak to the planet!

DUCK She seemed kinda... disinterested. Is that fair to say?

WOODBRIDGE I do not think it's appropriate to comment on her demeanor. Her job here is impossible for any other person alive to do, so I would not hold her exhaustion against her, Duck.

AUBREY Is she a teenager? Or is this one of those Narnia things?

WOODBRIDGE She is young, yes. She is fairly new to the role that has been placed upon her shoulders. It is not one of those Narnia things.

DUCK Can we go back yet?

WOODBRIDGE Yeah, I wish you would, that would be great.

DUCK Excellent, ‘cause I feel like we're about as well-equipped to do what we need to do.

WOODBRIDGE Yeah, is that a jetpack? What's going on there?

DUCK It honestly scares me. I don't even really like carrying it, I'm really getting pretty stoked about taking it home. I'm half-tempted to leave it on the ground as we go back to our world, but I figure I'll hold on to it. If nothing else, I can chuck it at something and try to blow it up. It’s called the Fly Master.

WOODBRIDGE Great name. Please do go. That would be fantastic for me, and for everyone.

AUBREY Yeah, I guess we’ll go, and I’ll- [hopelessly] think about my magic as a gift from the cosmos...

The guards pound their spears down again and the door opens. The three of them head back out to the entrance hall, and are met by VINCENT, who walks with them back through the city to the archway. He nods to the squirrel-headed guard, who catches the moonlight on their shield, and shines it on the gate, which fills with light.

VINCENT Uh, you all did fairl- you know what? It actually didn’t go the best. Because you almost explode one of the ministers, which I- to be fair to you, I didn’t say you shouldn’t do, but I thought it maybe would have been that you shouldn’t try to blow up? One of the people you are meeting with? But it seemed like she was okay with it, so, I would say five out of ten.

AUBREY I’ll take it!

NED Yeah, that’s not bad for us!

VINCENT Um, one thing before you go… have any of you seen any good movies lately? [AUBREY: Hmm?] [DUCK: Sorry?] I know it’s not really part of the gig, I just, I’m fascinated by your world’s pop culture, it’s- it’s not important, I just thought if you had any recommendations, or reviews, or- Mama used to smuggle me in some DVDs from time to time.

AUBREY Have you seen Into The Spider-Verse yet?

VINCENT I have not, it is- is that one out on one of your DVDs?

AUBREY I believe so! I’ll get you a copy, it’s- wow. Very good.

NED Does the name Tommy Wiseau mean anything to you?

VINCENT He’s from our world!

AUBREY, DUCK, and NED laugh.

VINCENT Yes, I hear that’s something of a mystery in Earth, uh, where he originates from, and I can go ahead and put that to bed, he is a mummy man. So, yes, I’m very familiar with him.

DUCK Listen, this is- at what point I-

VINCENT You’re right, the- the abomination, it’s so much more important than, like, my hobby or whatever, so…

NED Well, we can bring you something, we’ll hit Redbox, and make you a bunch.

VINCENT Okay, that sounds perfect. Okay, good luck!

AUBREY Okay, bye!

The three of them step through the archway. END SCENE.

INT. THE CRYPTONOMICA, LATE SATURDAY NIGHT. NED is standing in front of the cameras, before a case containing “Blackbeard’s Treasure,” dressed up in his long scarf and a stylish, matching outfit. AUBREY’s touching up his shiny eye makeup. There's a couple folks from the TV station operating lights. KIRBY slides off a headset he’s wearing and goes over to NED.

KIRBY Ned, man, I gotta tell you, I'm pretty nervous. I kinda thought we had a dress rehearsal scheduled for earlier in the day, but then you weren't here at all today- I think that this has a good chance at being a big disaster.

NED I missed that, I'm sorry. I should have checked my Google calendar, but it'll be fine! Listen, this is all about energy, Kirby. This is all about bringing a spontaneity and a excitement to- it's a live show, a live program beaming into literally tens of people's homes! Let's use that nervousness, use that fear, that energy to create something amazing!

KIRBY Yeah, I mean, that's all gonna be on you. I think it's gonna go quite bad, but, um, good luck. We're on in five! Four! Three, two! I can't- one! Go.

NED Welcome my friends! This is Saturday Night Deeead! Live, or, I should say, from the Cryptonomica! I am your host, Ned Superstar Chicane, and I welcome you to this palace of the bizarre, this home for humbuggery. This is the place where you can surrender yourself for the next two hours to enjoy one of the finest science fiction-horror movies ever made, set here in the fabulous Cryptonomica. Our movie is Beast with a Thousand Eyes, so tonight we are going to take you through this movie and also let you come to know some of the amazing things we have here at the Cryptonomica, located at 43 Bedlam Lane, Kepler, West Virginia, come down and see us. We're open eight hours a day, five days a week, three hundred and forty-two days a year. And we're there to serve all of your bizarre, weird needs when it comes to the macabre. So, shall we begin!

KIRBY [offscreen] Ye- yes!

DUCK [offscreen] Yeah.

AUBREY [offscreen] Yeahhh?

KIRBY I- I don't know if we're supposed to talk? Yeah, go for it.

NED I am so excited to have with me here joining me on stage, on scene. I would like my two friends, Duck Newton, and the magical, mystical Lady Flame. Come out here and take a bow, you two!

AUBREY Okay!

NED Duck. C’mon, Duck. [DUCK: Yeah…] C'mon, just for a minute. Just c'mon.

They step in front of the camera. AUBREY’s wearing a blazer and slacks, with her outfit from earlier underneath. DUCK’s in uniform, looking tired- more so than usual.

DUCK [unenthusiastic] Hey everybody.

NED This is the amazing Lady Flame. Do a trick!

AUBREY Oh! Um…

NED [whispers] Don’t like, set any of the exhibits on fire.

AUBREY Yeah.

She waves her hands dramatically through the air, and using sleight of hand, makes a rose appear in her glove. She flicks her fingers over it, and using real magic this time, sets the petals ablaze. She quickly blows it out and bows.

NED Ohohohoho, amazing! Magic like that is a common occurrence here at the Cryptonomica, [quickly] 43 Bedlam Lane, Kepler, West Virginia. Come down and see us. [slower] Now, Duck, do the announcement thing.

DUCK Alright. I am happy to remind everybody that, after you finish having fun out in the forest, it's great to dump water on your fire. Remember to give it a good stir because sometimes there can be small embers that won't be extinguished, so it is important that you sorta create a dirt slurry. Anyway, yep. So, stay safe out there.

NED ..thank- thank you, Duck. And now you know. And knowing is half the battle! Now you've meet some of the folks here responsible for our fabulous show. Let's get right to some of the thrills and chills. Starring Paul Birch, Lorna Thayer, and Dona Cole, this is The Beast with a Thousand Eyes…

KIRBY A Mil- A Million Eyes!

NED What?

KIRBY It’s a Million Eyes.

NED That's what I said. Beast with a Million Eyes!

KIRBY You said a thousand- it’s fine. [shouting] Start the movie! END SCENE.

INT. A PRISON, TWO COUNTIES AWAY. THE SAME TIME. In a common area, a pair of guards are watching a small assembly of prisoners seated in front of a small television. One of the prisoners is holding the remote and flipping through the channels trying to find something for the group to watch. She flips through some home shopping networks, a couple infomercials, Adult Swim, Saturday Night Live. She flips past SATURDAY NIGHT DEAD, leaving it lingering on the channel for just a few moments before changing it to another home shopping network special. A prisoner seated a couple rows back walks up and puts his hand on her arm.

PRISONER [British accent] Would you do me a favor, and flip back the channel for me?

And she does and this man laughs and points at NED on the screen.

PRISONER I know that bloke.

END SCENE. END.

transcript: 9 - communication issues

Okay, so, we’re doing this again. Cool. Sup. It’s your girl.

No. No. That’s bad.

Charlotte, here. Cranor-Liu. From here. You know me. I know you. We’re friends. That’s--a thing that’s happening.

I have a better opening line. But first, a foreword. A preface? Not sure, not really giving two shits, but.

Cool.

So. Each of you individually texted me a potential opener for this. To be fair, and because they were all equally dumb and bad, I will read all of them individually.

Benji Ahuja, local small business owner and general huge nerd and also my worst enemy, but, like, in a friendly rivalry way, we are both so committed to this bit where we pretend to hate each other, okay, says: We got a real life possession on our hands, folks!

Corny. Bad. Sounds like a line from an 80s disaster movie, which, actually, is probably what you were going for.

I have never seen an 80s disaster movie. Was that 80s or 70s? Again, don’t really care. That’s rhetorical.

AJ Diggs, very good barista and very bad lab partner, yeah, dude, I am still bitter about that physics project from eighth grade where I had to write the whole paper at 3 AM, says: Did I miss anything?

He also used emojis in that, but I’ll spare him the embarrassment of reading out what they were. Actually--they were interrobangs, and then the 100 one a few times, as a joke, maybe? I don’t know if he knows what that one means. He’s not hip. He’s like a grandpa in a teen body. Wears the sweaters and everything. Not in the Macklemore way, which wouldn’t help him either, but in the actual grandpa way. He’s not even trying to be cool. He just dresses like a grandpa.

I love him very much. He is my dearest friend in the world. Thank you. Now, AJ, please never remind me that I said that.Because I can and will curse you and make you into a werewolf man or something. Cuz I’m evil and magical and can destroy you.

Robin Harper, writer and general icon: Can you maybe mention that my wedding was nice? I feel like Teresa didn’t acknowledge that enough. I’m kidding. LOL. Open it with, like. A message of concern. Say something nice, Charlotte. I love you. Hope you’re having a nice day. But. Please. Heart emoji. Heart emoji. Heart emoji.

Teresa literally told us not to be nice, so, uh, no. Love you too though.

Elaine Harper, crazy cat lady and also an icon: Dealing With Your Girlfriend From An Alternate Universe For Dummies is an easy book to write.

That’s--no one read those books. Did you read those books? Elaine, you’re legally obligated to tell me. Boom, roasted, whatever. I--that’s not even funny, Elaine, and you seemed to be, like, slightly cool, so, uh, thanks for ruining that illusion. I should have known, from the fact that you were getting married to Robin, but, alas, your cool vibes distracted me from that.

Teresa Marin, who sometimes gets possessed and who is also a student: Teresa Marin, more like Teresa Scarin’ me!

I absolutely refuse. No further comment. And, then, and here’s the interesting part:

Angie Thompson, student who wants, desperately, to be a singer-songwriter, but, like, who knows, maybe her music’s just not for me?: Teresa Marin, more like Teresa Scarin’ me!

Thinking about it, Angie probably sent that from both of their phones. Teresa’s not funny, but, uh, her jokes are better than that. I hope. Oh my God, I hope. Because Teresa is, like. Not a rhyming humor type of person. I know her well enough to know that, okay?

Anyway, so, uh, here’s my opener:

Can we learn how to, like, communicate like normal human goddamned beings about, like, the alternative universe that has entered into our lives? Like, I get not sharing out publicly, but we all know about it. We can, like, maybe tell each other about being possessed as soon as it happens the first time.

Look, my girlfriend, Mae Babson who, yes, is from an alternate universe, and who is also super cool and great and is my girlfriend and who is not a nerdlord, unlike you weirdasses and also me, was raised in a place where she cannot lie.

Which is sort of a cool thing, from, like, a moral standpoint, even though it was used to hurt her and those around her.  Y’know what I mean?

Listen, look, listen, maybe we as a group of friends can take a page out of the book of the evil villain or whatever we’re calling him and, like, tell each other the truth.

But that’s—whatever. Whatever. We can make a Google Doc or something? Maybe. As a solution to this whole info-sharing crisis we’re having with each other.

Okay. So.

How’s me? How’s Charlotte? How is she doing? How on top is she? Is she still killing it?

Of course she is. But let’s elaborate. We need elaboration, here.

Well. I’m directing a one act that I wrote. That’s cool. My first few pitches got rejected, but, uh, the current one’s pretty good, so. I’m cool with that. And this one hopefully won’t get ruined by paranormal happenings. So. That’s cool. It’s a subversion of vampire romance tropes and a subtle commentary on heteropatriarchy in YA fiction. Because I’m that good.

Uh. I got a job? That’s something. Just heard back yesterday, I’ve actually only told AJ so far, so. Cool? It’s at the Bean Zone, so. AJ’s training me. So that’ll be a fun experience for all of us, which is to say, AJ, I’m going to make your life hell and there is nothing you can do to stop me. Absolutely nothing. Because Amanda loves me.

Mae is finally coming out of her shell, a little bit. You guys are—thanks for being good to her. I’m being genuine here. It’s very difficult to, uh. Cope? I guess, for her, and you guys are being genuinely cool.

Once you got over the whole alternate universe, thing, I mean, like. Thanks for not grilling her ever, but. You need to—

Whatever. Whatever. I’m not about to get sappy. I don’t do sappy. I’m a huge badass, and, as such, I don’t get sappy. We can all accept this about me.

I’m about to update you on Weird Shit. Because that, assholes, is the point of these. I mean, you could maybe argue that this is, as a group of people who are generally terrible at being alive and interacting at other people, a way for us to interact with other people, but.

Nah.

This is for weird shit updates. Those and only those

So. Teresa has been getting possessed on and off for months. If you’ve somehow managed to forget, which I haven’t. And my memory’s not great, so, I’m assuming that you’ve all remembered that. That’s cool. Kinda scary, but cool. Good to have that particular knowledge secured in terms of Weird Shit That’s Going Down Annual, a magazine edited by me.

But.

Uh. Mae seems to be the only fully successful—y’know. transport of a person to this world. She’s not sure why. I think it’s because she’s just very good at everything, but. She broke into a museum and everything, like, pulled a heist and all. Which is very cute. Very cool.

She doesn’t have a double. Most other people who’ve tried—do. There’s not another Mae Babson. There is another me, another Teresa, you get it. I don’t know—and really, I don’t care about why there aren’t doubles of certain people. That’s not—that’s a stupid thing to spend time caring about. For me. You guys can go wild on it, but, honestly? I’m cool with there being a second me. Mae says she’s chill.

Presumably, she’s—she’s extremely chill. And Mae—Mae didn’t know her super well, I guess? Because I’m—I’m sure that she’d like her. Probably better.

Because, uh. She’d understand and everything. And she’s probably a little. Y’know. More—determined. Sharper. Y’know? Because she’s—

I should not get jealous of myself in an alternate universe. She probably has self-esteem issues too.

Doc David Diggs says I need to work on projection. I’ve been talking to him. Do we all talk to him? I know that Angie does. And AJ doesn’t. But. Yeah.

Uh. Other Weird Shit. Hm. Let’s get into that. That’s—going on. Certainly, certainly, def, def, obvi, obvi, y’know how it is. More blank-faced people—failed travelers, I guess. The board is still a thing. I’ve snuck into a few meetings, and, uh. They’re pulling, uh, some shit. I took notes and everything. I’m not even taking APUSH notes anymore, so we can see that this actually matters to me.

Also, I still have a 93 in that class, so, uh, guess who’s on top? Yeah. I am a genius, thank you, thank you, thank you.

So. Notes. Notes on notes. Hell yeah.

So, I kept a chart of this, so.

Names of people on the board that I can make out are:

Hamish South

Katherine (not sure if it’s with a c or a k or a y or whatever? that’s a bad name to have. don’t name your child catherine. please) Brooks

Frederick Lewis

Daniel Wexton

Lisa Barnes

And there are a few others, but I can’t get their names. Mae doesn’t know any of the names, says that they’re way too secretive over there, so. Cool. You know how it is.

I have a few sketches of their faces, but they’re not great and I kind of have an issue with noses, so Mae can’t recognize them. None of them have doubles.

Daniel Wexton is the one who grabbed me, I think. Same voice and everything. Can’t quite make out his features, but.

These are the bad guys. That should be, uh, pretty obvious. But they’re the bad guys! That’s cool to know! Cue graphic, cheesy music, the more you know, and all the rest. Eugh. That’s—

So. Cool. We know who we’re going after.

Okay, more notes. Evil plans:

-Necromancy. The rest turned to sirens and other really painful noises, but I got necromancy? so? That’s important. I think it’s to get our boy Andy back, because this is very much a cult, which, cool, we’re infiltrating a cult, and by we’re, I mean me, and by infiltrating, I mean spying on, because I’m not technically getting into the cult itself. I’m just listening. You get me.

-Cut back on drama spending. That’s an evil plan. It’s the evil plan in every Muppet movie, and the board is doing it, so it counts. And yes, I do love the Muppets. I have emotions. I’m only human. I have a heart. None of you are allowed to repeat this to anyone ever. But, anyways, how fucked up is that? Not only are they trying to kill people, they’re also trying to take away my whole Thing, so. Yeah! Love this!

-Eliminate travelers from their place to ours, which makes sense, but which is, uh terrifying. Not much else to say, but it’s. Y’know. A thing that’s happening.

-Benji’s name came up one time but I got bored, so I stopped writing. Also the janitor walked in so I had to run before I got caught by anyone?

And that’s all that’s really relevant.

Um. I don’t really know how to end this? I guess--I just have to reaffirm that we know who the hell we’re investigating, and maybe fighting? Is this a showdown thing? Will there be a climactic battle sequence? Cuz I’m good at those. I can punch. Ask AJ.

So. Yeah. Update complete. This is Charlotte, signing off for now, cuz, uh. I--are we still doing sign-offs? Should I get a, uh. Like a normal one? Or one that we all use? Because I don’t trust you to come up with those things, because you’re clearly all less charming than me.

So. Yeah. We’re not doing that.

I do love you guys. Stay safe. Tell me if something happens.

Bye.

11.

Hi, i've read this fic from AFF and now i can't find it and someone there suggested that i ask here. I've been looking for this for awhile now i'm not sure if it's been deleted. I can't remember the main pairing (so sorry) all i remember is the plot and it's angst. I remember one male lead use to have Brain tumor/cancer and he was really dying the other male lead (his partner) was his doctor. They really thought he was gonna die but then they fell in love and he was cured, it's like his ��love’ cured him. But then after a few months/years the doctor fell out of love, he was cheating on his boyfriend with a nurse i think. And then his illness came back just like how his love was fading so was the cure for his disease. I remember  this scene where it’s their anniversary and he had a bout of pain and called the doc for help accidentally, the doc was really worried but when he got to their house he was already fine and a recorded anniversary message played exactly at 12 and he taught the sick guy pretended to be sick just to get his attention. I remember it’s a sad ending. I’ve tried searching for keywords from the scenes i remember but i still can’t find it, hope someone here can. Thank you so much in advance for the help. :)
