#little canadian things

[trilliath]

It's a lot, sometimes. When you finish a story, a show or book or fic or whatever, that is one of those ones in your heart that's like. Real. Real, not in a "i'm out of touch with reality and can't separate it from fiction" sort of way but in a "it doesn't really matter that the material is fictional, I was subsumed enough in it that I felt deeply - and my emotions, my love for these characters, my experience and memory of these events in their story, are still real regardless" sort of way.

And like. The tragedy of it is that in the end, you are alone in it, in the grief of the story itself, or the ending of it, because they're not real. The people you shared the experience of the story with are not real, and so you have nobody to feel that with but your own mind.

Hell of a thing.

#Fandom is sometimes a salve when you can share those feelings but like #sometimes it's a little canadian show that's over a decade old #and the fandom is mostly gone or never was in the first place #and even then would anyone else really get it #would they really ever understand it the same way you did #being human and having an imagination strong enough to do this is such a wild thing sometimes

GtWAC Day 1:

Reblog your go to comfort fic

If you have not read The Stranding (and by extension, The Rescue) by the darling @belethlegwen you are deeply missing out! The sheer amount of content is truly a blessing, and considering its still being updated?? ASDFJHSLK

Belle is an incredible story teller, and this shines through in her writing so well I feel like I'm getting flashbanged by talent.

You know that typical writing advice about not introducing too many characters, especially early on as it divides the reader's attention?? BELLE STOMPS ON THAT.

AND

IT

WORKS

I genuinely can't get over how much I am in love with her characters. I must admit- I am the typical reader with one too many bonks to the head that can't seem to focus on/ remember/ care about more than 3-5 characters- that is not the case here.

Every character she introduces has my interest piqued- each one feeling alive and at home in their setting. And its not just likeable in the sense of "oh I'd be friends with them" (and she absolutely has many characters I'd love to be friends with)- its these raw and real characterizations that make you like them as a character.

They have their own mystery to them too- even if its not direct. Her characters make you wonder more about their past and why they act the way they do. They can be frustrating, immature, stubborn, even cruel- but they feel so deeply real.

Both written works from Sizeable Ship Wrecks are among my favorite things I've read- both inside and outside of the G/t sphere to the point I feel as though I could shamelessly recommend this to someone outside of the G/t community and be confident they would enjoy it.

[set-phasers-to-whump]

skymed whump list

description: “Follows intense character journeys and high-stakes medical rescues, heartbreaks and tribulations of budding nurses and pilots flying air ambulances.” whump refers to various recurring male characters (unfortunately not all of them are in the pic, but from left to right are Tristan, Chopper, Nowak, and Bodie)

overall notes: apparently you can find the show on paramount plus but I pirated it so I can’t say anything for captions or availability. it’s a little silly sometimes but it’s way more interesting than a lot of your average medical dramas imo.

#i say things #skymed #whump list #it’s not the highest quality out there but it’s interesting and pretty cool #also for those interested wheezer is played by aaron ashmore so….. #also the show is set in the canadian north which is a much more interesting setting than like. the city or whatever #and there’s a strong focus on indigenous communities which I really liked #I doubt it’ll get another season tho but I’d recommend it if you’ve got free time and don’t mind something a little soapy a little silly #the fandom for this show appears to be like ten people and a bag of chips so like. please. #(btw I’ll be writing my last bthb fic for this) #(sorry to disappoint by not doing one of my usual fandoms but I have an Idea) #oh there’s a gifset of nowak in 1x07 somewhere around btw #that’s the top whump ep imo. physical and emotional with lasting talked about consequences #cannot believe we got a second season

Days 15 and 16 of @amphibianaday's Amphibuary! Didn't finish mine yesterday, because hubris said, "I bet you can crochet a frog in one evening," and was very very wrong. As it turns out, I couldn't crochet a frog in two evenings either, but if you ignore the legs it's fine! Decided to combine today's and yesterday's prompts, featuring pretty terrible photography lol

And my mom didn't do yesterday's either, because she was tired, but here's hers for today!

#the goose is half of a tensegrity structure i made in ceramics class #i have not put it together yet because i'm so worried it won't work out #it was meant to be a swan at first but it ended up looking very much like a goose so i just decided to make it a goose instead #i looked up canadian geese for painting it and it's like. wow #i haven't actually ever Looked at one before #like did you know they had that little white stripe under their chin? #they are so beautiful #i need to paint more things now. find the beauty in them #it's like that one comic somewhere on this webbed site #about the paintings of ordinary things? #yeah i'm really feeling that one right now #amphibuary 2023

Heyhey, you know whats still open? My ask box. Art and headcanons, I'll do it at some point, you just gotta specify what you want me to do :D

I have stuff I should be doing, but lets be honest with ourselves, procrastination makes you do more than you thought you would because it's 3 in the morning and you need sleep but can't till you done the thing

#welcome to the table #wttt new jersey #wttt new york #wttt california #literally need to be writing something #cause im kinda behind #cause i wanna do a chap a day #ive been doing well til yesterday #damn you hockey #but i need other things to do inbetween when i have no idea what to write #just art and hcs this time #since like i said #already writing lol #also #side note #went out a little bit ago to quick check #wearing shorts and a light jacket under my jersey #am i okay? #does this make me canadian? #idk i heard Canadians do that #oh god being friends with a canadian #has made me canadian by proxy #shit

[scramble-crossing]

Goofing around with some graphics for my Sho, Joshua, and Neku playlists

#editing silly little things like this is a lot of fun #especially when using an app that constantly tries to trap me into buying its pro version for $150 #its like dodgeball #neku #joshua #minamimoto #playlists #eventually there WILL be a tragically hip song in all of them because I am canadian and no one can stop me

[gayghostrights]

#I’m writing fic and idk if it’s worth it to use a British translator for specific words #Obviously I know the basics (and maybe a little more than basics because I dated an English person for 5 years) #Also asking cause I’m curious #It doesn’t really bother me unless it’s very obvious/regionally specific #But also consistent linguistics are hard when you’re not from a place and don’t know the slang intimately #And slang can be so specific to a small space. Like I say things that I know western Canadians Do Not and we live in the same country #Slightly related do English people say blow job?

CHARACTER AESTHETICS - HAOYU 🐅💥🥊

attollo by @attollogame

haoyu zhang; 26, he/him, chinese-canadian, ex-military, estranged yet protective of sister daiyu, lived in a terrible little apartment with a terrible little car, picked up shifts at loong wah restaurant in st. john’s, very much over attollo's bullshit <3 

appearance; 5’5, buff, heavily tattooed (prominent tiger on back, script along ribs, roses along left arm, other small pieces intermingled), buzzcut growing out, ears pierced but no jewellery worn, zero effort wardrobe, function over flair, ragged fingernails, permanent dark circles, rbf

personality; good heart, bad temper, anger issues, relapsed smoker, stoic, blunt, strong-willed, terrible liar, ruthless, determined, focused, intimidation ruined by height, destroys punching bags for fun, lingering ptsd, chronic rooftop seeker, decent cook, always tired, previously troubled teen, issues with authority and government from military past, not easily flustered but once it happens he crumbles

relationships; clicks with pariah but that might just be because of the motorcycle, chill and somewhat distrustful of vasilisia, doesn’t care about operator (literally probably just forgot about him), currently wants to return the favour and go after dreamwalker, intimidated by sysba but tries to cover it by being an asshole (it doesn't work), wary of suha but wants to trust her, won over gasper despite forcibly stifling the urge to knock his teeth out, reluctant besties with deadlock, banters and butts heads with helios, freaked out by prince but also like... das fishey, broke voltaic’s nose, immediately hated markos

ro; perhaps a fluid nb!/m!sysba or dreamwalker or poly but all with the specific progression of purely physical > it's complicated > physical and emotional. he flirted with sysba to get their guard down but it was so bad and cringe he doesn't know what he's doing i'm endeared i want to study him under a microscope. dude is so duty oriented tho idk. could be painful hehe.

#attollo if #my little rage fuelled parkour king #loong wah was a real restaurant in st. john's btw as a canadian i must drop the easter eggs #anyways i could go on and on about how the military shaped him and his relationships haha #still debating whether he actually graduated high school or if he went for the early training at 17 in quebec #rip to his relationship with his sister if so lmao bye daiyu see you never #certainly wasn't for his country though he only joined to get away #run away king <3 #the thing you should take away from this is that he trusts no one #c: haoyu #*edits

[sergeifyodorov]

was thinking about the ovi auston web weaving you made back in may and your tag that said you werent gonna bring sid and connor into it and i get it but also. i want to bring sid and connor into it

i did too i just didn't want to. make that webweave 3 million miles long. also didn't want to bring mitch and nicke into it because that's the same deal.

i WILL leave u with this: each time sid and ovi won one of their cups, they had to go through each other to get it. good signs in the future for leafsoilers truthers?

#asks #Good Canadian Boy Playmaker versus Wayward Foreign Man Goalscorer. i guess #the whole thing with the perceived 'innocence' of sid/davo versus the . orientalized ~masculinity~ of am34 (latino) and ovi (russian) #the stylized bad-boy angle on amatts/ovi versus the perceived softness/whininess/etc of sid/davo. #and if we bring sid and connor into it we have to at least a LITTLE bit mention GENO AND LEON #so really it's all just. history repeats itself. cut a piece of string and loop it back. #connor bedard YOU are going to break the cycle get your agent on the phone you are going to VANCOUVER!!!

William Hartnell guests as a gangland boss and leader of London's underworld, Joss Crawford, in the pilot episode of Dial 999: The Killing Job (1.1, ABC, 1958)

#fave spotting #william hartnell #doctor who #dial 999 #classic doctor who #one #classic tv #1958 #abc #the killing job #this would have aired just as Hartnell's first stint on The Army Game was coming to an end‚ and would have afforded #audiences an opportunity to see him in the kind of tough gangster role he'd been known for earlier in his film career #he also says 'mmm?' a lot in this episode (which he definitely doesn't do so much in The Army Game) so ig that was a verbal tic that #predated DW... Dial 999 is such a weird little show. a rare case of ABC coproducing with an American outfit (Ziv Television Programs) makes #it one of the only half hour film serials from this era not to have ITC's sticky hands all over it. it's also copaganda of the most clunky #and unsubtle kind; Robert Beatty's Canadian mountie is in London to learn how policing happens here‚ which he does at length and with #much admiring voice over about the hardworking‚ brave‚ friendly‚ frankly amazing officers he meets and works alongside. the thing is it's #so clumsily done and so damn earnest that it actually succeeds in coming off as quite charming rather than tiresome #network have followed a mysterious order for their dvd set.. it doesn't match any of the (admittedly unreliable) transmission orders #available online but nor is it likely to be a true production order‚ as the four episodes Alvin Rakoff helmed as pilots (of which this is #the first) are not the four which open the first disc (only 1 and 2 do). ho hum it doesn't matter I suppose..... one thing we do know for #certain is that this was episode 1: Beatty arrives in London in the opening scene and explains why he's there #cue cockney mobsters cutting each other up as Bill Hartnell looks over his glasses and says hmm a lot #television heaven i tell you
