A comment from @northernmariette on the clothing conference at Fort Meigs.

It was nice to be back at Fort Meigs, but I am tall and shy and sat in the back of the room during the fashion show, taking a few bad pics because of the obstructed view.

I enjoyed the lectures and gathered some nice references. But I didn't go to the evening soirée event because I was too busy with other things.

The "beginner" fibre arts classes were above my level tbh; everyone was very friendly and nice but they were also Level 9000 Sewing Wizards and I felt out of place.

If you want to track down the orchestra members and have a word, it's probably more up your street than Jim's or mine. Most likely just putting a name to him. Be alright with that? I should think I'll manage.

Behold! A crack fic idea!

Extra point if each time one of the Desmonds does something that goes against the timeline we get a flashforeward to the present day, and it's a different kind of post-apocalypse each time.

Extra extra points if the post-apocalypses get increasingly absurd and ridiculous as the story goes on.

Okay, so for this one, we have:

Clay!Desmond

Layla!Desmond

Minevra!Desmond

The Reader

which means I can do this:

How the Desmonds met cat!Desmond:

I kinda like the idea that we never learn who sent cat!Desmond into the past. Hell, we never learn he’s actually a Desmond as well. He just keeps following them and likes to use his claws to get a ‘piggyback ride’. XD

A visual representation of how the Desmonds are tackling every major events of their ancestors:

(not part of the visualization: the dude in charge of the Templars in Cyprus because the Desmonds actually forgot about him and thought he was just one of the mooks)

And then we have Elijah who tries to act all serious and kinda like a dick (it's the Aita genes) but can't help but lean into any kindness and gentleness the Desmonds show him.

The poor modern gang:

(It would be funny if they didn't realize that there are multiple Desmond running around at first so they assume they only have one Desmond to worry about)

Rebecca updating her notes every few weeks:

The modern day gang's relationship with the Desmonds (that the Desmonds are unaware of)

Also... this was the first ridiculous 'apocalypse' I thought of XD

What the structure of the idea would probably be:

#we didn't even talk about how they're changing the past #but i'm thinking like they're time hopping XD #assassin's creed #ask and answer #desmond miles #elijah miles #lucy stillman #rebecca crane #shaun hastings #daniel cross #teecup writes/has a plot #fic idea: assassin's creed

Thinking more of the “ancestors can hear Desmond” AU but am too tired to have like full thoughts so like rapid fire?

Desmond gets so used to checking for feathers with Ezio that he does it unconsciously. Connor doesn’t know why Desmond is so intent on finding feathers but he never fails to pick one up when Desmond points it out

Haytham couldn’t hear Desmond. It weirded Desmond out so bad he immediately desynchronized twice because he was so used to having sarcastic mental commentary with Altair and Ezio.

During the memory seals Altair could hear both Desmond and Ezio. It was not a pleasant experience for any of them the first time

Desmond gets songs stuck in their heads that won’t exist for hundreds of years in languages that they have never heard.

Desmond definitely accidentally taught baby Connor to curse in Italian and Arabic. This was mostly an accident.

Ezio and Desmond bicker about home design like an old married couple. (Desmond was right that one painting did look better two inches to the left)

Desmond has told all three of them at some point or another that he is pretty sure he is going to die soon (templars, coma, end of the fucking world) which was what started their need to find a way into the future to help him because none of them could handle thinking about Desmond’s death.

When he’s not in the animus Desmond will occasionally ask something and frown like he was expecting a response he always gets very quiet afterwards and the rest of the team pretends they didn’t notice.

Ezio had to put on a whole show of being surprised when Minerva started talking to Desmond directly (all of them agree whatever the Isu are planning the less they know about Desmond the better). He was not very convincing truth be told.

#the elf talks #assassins creed #Desmond: feather #Connor: We are at the bottom of a cliff you can’t possibly see a… huh… well I’ll be damned #alternatively - Desmond: Feather #Shaun over the comm: You’re about to jump off of a sky scraper stop looking for feathers

contrapoints, shaun and philosophy tube all posted a new video in the span of 7 days AND james somerton crawled out of his hole, giving plenty of people plenty of reasons to respond (and some already have!), including potentially hbomb himself? what the fuck is going on, the stars have literally aligned

#a win for leftist youtube #jessie gender's response to james somerton came out as well and it was a good one #she talked about him personally apologising to her it was quite an illuminating video #contrapoints #shaun #philosophy tube #natalie wynn #abigail thorn #hbomberguy #harry brewis #james somerton #lefftube #leftist youtube

While I am still mad about historical men's fashion: my other pet peeve is when someone tries to do an "18th century vs. 19th century" thing, and it's literally court dress from like 1790, covered with embroidery and jewels, compared with ordinary day attire for a 19th century man.

Like. Imagine comparing the most outrageous cyber-goth club wear from the 1990s with a cheap 2010s men's business suit!

"THIS IS WHAT THE DOT COM BOOM TOOK AWAY FROM US! Men used to go to work with green plastic hair extensions and slutty fishnet tops with their tripp pants covered with bright cables and chains! Now they wear 'BUSINESS SUITS' in boring navy and black. 🙄😩💅🏻"

Anyone else obsessed with Shaun’s immediate and stern “No you’re not!” in response to Donna calling herself stupid? It sounds almost like a reminder, or a “Don’t go there.” It’s such a small moment but it shows so much about their relationship and Donna’s growth. She’s made her own progress with her self-worth, even without knowing how important she was to the universe, and he’s been there for fifteen years to help remind her when she needs it. This man just loves his wife so damn much and he does more than put up with everything (though damn he puts up with a LOT), he’s there actively helping her

#shaun temple #donna noble #doctor who #doctor who 60th anniversary #Star beast spoilers #aliens are literally falling from the sky #they’re kidnapped in the back of the truck #but he still takes the time to notice when Donna is talking down to herself #and tell her ‘absolutely fucking not you aren’t’

[ingravinoveritas]

The fact that in that scene in the doctor who special Donna’s about to go off with the doctor in the end and her husband is like yeah most husbands would be jealous of their wife hanging out with men in a small space alone but then he looks at the doctor and is like nah not him. Like he knows the doctor wouldn’t be interested in Donna in that way and that she was completely safe from cheating on her husband. Shaun took one look at the doctor and was like I know what you are . He was NOT worried about Donna being alone with him

So, I did watch the 60th special today, which I originally wasn't planning to do, since I'm not much of a Whovian. But curiosity got the better of me, and once your ask came in, I figured why not give it a watch.

After sitting through the whole episode, I still have no idea what the hell actually happened, or what a Metacrisis is, or why they were all fighting evil anthropomorphized dryer lint...but I was still thoroughly entertained. Haha. And there were moments I liked (disability rep with Shirley Bingham whose character actually wasn't about her disability but just her as a badass person!), moments I didn't like, and moments that made me unexpectedly emotional (the mention of Wilf, which given Bernard's passing last year was incredibly poignant and left me in tears).

But what I was really living for with this episode was how unbelievably and incredibly gay it was, in absolutely the most phenomenal way possible. Again, I want to emphasize that I am a very casual DW viewer, so I can't speak to previous seasons or incarnations, but this certainly felt like the queerest Doctor Who ep I have ever seen. The awesome Yasmin Finney as Rose. Describing the Doctor as "male...and female...and neither...and more." Having legend and lesbian extraordinaire Miriam fucking Margolyes as the voice of the Meep.

And of course, the moment you mentioned...

What's really interesting to me about this is so much of the writing in this episode was pretty on the nose (thinking in particular of the scene about the Meep's pronouns, which was very well meaning but felt a bit heavy-handed in both the writing and some of the delivery). But I wouldn't say Russell T. Daddy was really going for nuance in a lot of what ended up on screen, which is why this moment stands out and is so interesting and hilarious. You can almost feel Russell abruptly stop short of saying what this is clearly meant to be saying, and leaving it as subtext instead of, well...text. And I've mentioned on my blog previously about seeing the Doctor and Donna's (as well as David and Catherine's) chemistry as very "exasperated straight woman and her chaotic bisexual BFF," so this really seemed to validate the hell out of that. Haha.

So yes, overall, I enjoyed "The Star Beast" much more than I ever expected to, and I'm definitely intrigued to see what the other specials will entail (especially "The Giggle," since NPH is in that one, and the queer quotient will no doubt be off the charts, at least if the production stills/BTS I remember seeing last year are any indication). It will certainly be interesting to see if we get more moments like the one above with Fourteen (Ten? Ten-Four?), so I suppose we'll find out soon...

I love how shaun of the dead and hot fuzz have very similar main types of humour in their core, but the world's end just "you know what? NEW PLAN"

because if shaun is mostly repetitions ("red on you", their plan to save barbara and liz and go to the winchester) with a bit of foreshadowings; and the hot fuzz is mostly foreshadowings with a bit of repetitions (you're a doctor, deal with it)

the world's end going mostly on misunderstanding

gary and oliver talking about bike

I didn't drink for years - wow you must be thirsty

the whole "I don't even know what pronoun is" chat

"WHAT THE FUCK IS WTF????"

and in actions too. like the moment where sam thought gary gave her an arm and he asked for cigarettes.

it's just so funny for me. like, the world's end always feels kinda aside. and I think this is the part of reason. but it still feels like the funniest form of humour in cornetto for me.

#the cornetto trilogy #hot fuzz #shaun of the dead #the world's end #if someone cares why there are so many analyzes from me #that's because analysing cornetto was my way to cope with anxiety for 2 years #and then I talked with sylv and realised that there are people who can understand what I'm talking about #so maybe there will be a few more
