I think I posted this years ago but I'm doing this again, it's Johnny Horton's Ed Sullivan performance and this is the greatest thing ever.

Men in costume cosplaying as soldiers, dance choreography, cannons going off, fog machines, an alligator cannon. For 1959 this is amazing.

For no reason I can fathom, I woke up with this stuck in my head.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well, we fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'

There wasn't as many as there was a while ago

We fired once more and they began to runnin'

On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

Johnny Horton - The Battle of New Orleans (Columbia, Single, 1959) - Design by Jerry Philips

Another day, another novelty record.

In an era of rock 'n roll, this one stood out for how popular it was among the youth.

I saw two people asked for something with Celestine, so here it is.

Btw, thanks for The comments (I have been reading them all and I appreciate you guys like what I do)

Same question, who will be next? 🤔

Once again plagued by wanting to write a huge badass groundbreaking "blew my cock and balls right off" comment-generating scene, yet I am forced to write the entire story that leads up to that specific scene first.

#writing #kebby rambles #I felt the exact same way when I REALLY wanted to write the Midnight Riders boss battle #And the scene where Keith picks up a tank with a crane #And Keith running through the funhouse at the carnival while zombies chase him #And the moment that Keith witnesses New Orleans burning #I just love writing cool scenes RAARRHGGHHGR why can't Keith just teleport there #What do you MEAN my story has to have a nice balance of peace and suspense #PAIN #AND SUFFERING #AND AGONY #ETCETERA

Mmm Jeanne

#servants cant learn new stuff (i'll talk about jalter in a second) therefore #jeanne shouldnt know how to read or write #we actually Dont get a confirmation that she can do those things in summer 3. because the book that jalter thought jeanne wrote #was actually Her own book #jeanne works with marie. maybe she comes up with the ideas and does rough drawings that marie would be Delighted to bring to life #marie reads to jeanne is my image #jalter taught herself how to read and write and i think that was possible because of the unstability of her existence #if you try to teach jeanne how to read and write it will stick for a second but if like idk 15-20 min pass she would likely find herself #unable to read again and her writting to be suboptimal #she can sign her own name ofc thats historical #she can recite the bible from memory iirc #i love jalter's ability to be her own person even if it comes with the fact that she is very much. an ephemeral dream #like her FCKING SKILL IS CALLED. #WHY MUST YOU HURT ME LIKE THIS FGO #anyway. now jeanne again but physical #oughhh thank u for the support in the tags when i said jeanne should have self image issues because she looked different in life #i hadnt fully talked bout it i just went with hair but yeah. i need to check again because im pretty sure her body wasnt Suuuper different #but i just gotta confirm #but im just so i love the idea of her just not liking the way she manifested abd not knowing Why she manifested like that #when there are Countless depictions of her with her short brown hair #sieg looks to the side whistling (its not his fault but he knows the pseudo servant part #and its probably a mix of . fate apocrypha's manifestation and of how some people imagined jeanne looked like #but it still upsets her #not that she'd ever complain to people #you can probably get it out of her tho #unrelated and only to those who reached this far: im thinking of a singularity set in 15th century orleans in the Middle of the hundred year #war. but the difference aint “oh jeanne d'arc came back to life evil” rather than “there seems to be a battle here where it shouldnt and oh #my god is that jeanne- oh god jeanne d'arc fucking died-- #and chaldeas has to try and fix the war without living breathing jeanne d'arc #actually thats not the middle of the 100yearwar but yknow what i mean. also haha jk unless...

So we went earlier this month to New Orleans to see Hellfury live at Siberia! They were nice asf! We got to hang out before the show with them and they gave me and my best friend a pin! We also swung by Kulture vulture (great store in New Orleans please do yourself a favor and go) and I grabbed a WASP pin.

i often forget that southern dialogue in terms of grammar is very loose and wobbly and then i go into twitch chats and the streamer has a hard time reading what i wrote bcuz the grammar just makes so sense.

it’s so hard trying to write a coherent message super quickly when american southern drawl mushes words together without a second thought.

i’m so extremely sorry 😭

#one of my closest friends is from New Orleans and it’s very funny to see two different types of southern #his accent is what you’d expect from a deep south american and mine is more coherent but the sentences make no sense #i try very hard online to post stuff that’s understandable but it’s a battle lmao #i have to edit a post 10 times just for it to make sense #me and Google Doc Spelling & Grammar check DO NOT get along #i’m like right on the border of deep south land and Rich People land that the accent is just weird #my uk friend says i sound southern while my deep southern friends say i sound like someone from cali lol #and technically NEITHER are true #southwesterner problems i suppose

a blunt form of change

For FFXIVWrite Day 17, a free day. I had nothing lingering from this week’s prompts and Merriam-Webster offered me a word of the day from a specific Earth religion that is not mine, so I put iTunes on shuffle instead. Frydlona, post-3.3, minor Ishgardian Restoration spoilers, ~500 words.

When all you have is a gun, everything looks like a Diadem sprite. Or a yak. Or…

“Ah, Frydlona!” Stephanivien de Haillenarte exclaims as she walks into the Manufactory. “Just the person I was hoping to see.”

Frydlona blinks, trying to accustom her eyes to the shade. “Is it something to do with the Restoration?”

He starts rummaging through boxes, muttering to himself. A little louder, he adds, “Only tangentially. Tell me, you’ve had no issues with the mechanism of the aetheromatic auger, have you?”

“No…” Frydlona looks around as if someone, somewhere is going to explain this to her. A blonde Hyuran woman in plain clothes shrugs when Frydlona catches her eye.

“And the aetheromatic clipper?” Stephanivien asks the depths of the drawer. “I know the yaks have been safely unharmed, but is the device itself natural to use?”

Frydlona hadn’t expected to laugh today, but she has to bite her lip against the urge. “Well, some people might say that using handheld clippers is a more natural way to shear an animal than using a…shoulder-mounted cannon?”

“’Tis much more efficient.” Stephanivien straightens up, beaming, holding a gun of some kind. It’s shorter than a gunblade, longer than one of Merlwyb’s pistols. Frydlona doesn’t know much about guns, as a rule. “Now, I know you to be familiar with my work, and Francel says you’ve been very supportive of his work in the Firmament, and…did I hear someone call you an archer?”

“Ah.” She hesitates. There are a lot of answers she could give, and she suspects Stephanivien de Haillenarte might even understand some of them, but… But she doesn’t want to. “I’ve trained as one, yes. I’m using war quoits now.”

“Fascinating,” Stephanivien murmurs, taking out a device of some kind and scrutinizing her through a lens of it, as if she’s a jewelry project he’s working on. “But you have good aim.”

Frydlona is not sure where this is going, nor that she entirely wants to find out. “Yes…?”

He hands her the gun and a glowing box that seems made mostly of tubes and wires. “Would you mind testing this for me?”

“What does it do?” It looks…normal, as far as Frydlona can tell, apart from the glowing box.

“Well.” Stephanivien actually looks a little uncomfortable. “It’s a gun.”

She hadn’t thought weapons were his style, somehow. “A…gun? Like with bullets?”

“Do you know how much it costs to become a knight?” he asks, gesturing broadly. “’Tis a fortune, even for those knights who fight on foot. The armor, the swords, the training, the patronage… Ishgard’s army is made of the wealthy, and the poor are defenseless.”

Frydlona looks down at the gun again, and thinks of Francel’s patient rebuilding, and Laniatte’s even-handed diligence. “I see. All right, I can try it.”

“Excellent!” Stephanivien beams, and the Hyuran woman watching them lights up as well. “Then come back, and I shall introduce you to Joye, and we can discuss plans.”

Frydlona had come to the Skysteel Manufactory to ask Biggs and Wedge if they needed her to bring anything to Jessie back in Revenant’s Toll. She is not quite sure what just happened. Still, Stephanivien makes more than a few good points.

#she does not have canon mch (able to use it in combat) but she does have canon mch (has done all the jobquests) #u know how it is #ffxivwrite #ffxivwrite2023 #my fic #my fic: frydlona #my fic: frydlona: gen #my fic: 3.x #frydlona merlgeimwyn #stephanivien de haillenarte #me: wtf do I do with “battle of new orleans” for a ffxivwrite #the chorus: have we mentioned today that there are guns
