Module 1: A Not Ruin(ed) Trip

☆.｡.:*

Once again, a long ride back to NOHS after a long day of filming a movie trailer for Araling Panlipunan at the Ruins. We reached our homes, with our groupmates already starting to plan the editing process of our trailer while the three of us reflected on what we had just experienced during the filming day.

It was such a tiring, productive, and memorable day; these kinds of days rarely happen, and we're thankful that it did. It's amazing how a busy day becomes so memorable, be it for the better or worse. Days like these, where we pour all our time into them, develop us as a whole, and in the end, we always learn something new.

To sum up everything, we learned that having well-planned events doesn't always guarantee they will go smoothly, just like how a treasure map marks the spot, but it doesn't always mean the treasure is at the center of the spot.

PS:

From Nejie: I also learned that going to places I wouldn't usually go isn't that bad of an experience; in fact, I actually enjoyed it.

From Iris: I definitely enjoyed the rollercoaster of emotions I experienced during the filming. I wouldn't say that I enjoyed it during the filming, but I can surely see the fun I had after everything. I ran around crazily, chasing all of my group members, trying to slap makeup on their faces. I mimicked blood and bruises, as well as royal makeup. I must say that I feel proud about my performance, as it was my first time putting my questionable makeup skills to use. I definitely learned that one should be confident in using a skill they have learned, even if they are not an expert.

From Sophie: There's a lot of emotion to feel; at first, I was literally excited, but that quickly faded when the rain started pouring down. I also get nervous while acting and saying my lines because I can't help but worry that I'll make a lot of mistakes. Tiredness also got in the way. When I got home from the shoot, I felt so exhausted that I couldn't move. Finally, the feeling or emotion that really stood out for me was happiness. Not only did I get to spend time with my classmates, but we also got to work together as a team, and I could tell that we worked well together.

Module 2: Strong Monsoon Winds

☆.｡.:*

The winds gush through and follows the bird's calls. Such as this week that went by a breeze, we can't say for sure that it was a good ride though. Especially when we got stunned by the Research summative test, but oh well, it's more room for improvement. Aside from Research, we learned about cell division in Biology which is mitosis and meosis. In Biotechnology, we learned about the effects of genetic mutation and the syndromes that comes with it.

As for Math, it was properties of parallel lines cut by a transversal, conditions for parallel lines, and the possible measures of the third side. While in English nothing happened because our teacher was busy for an assesment. On the other hand, in MAPEH we learned about East Asian arts. And lastly, ESP, wherein we learned about being honest. That basically makes up our week this time, not too extreme, not too underwhelming either. Just like a warm nissin cup noodles during a frigid day, everything must be balanced, as it should be.

PS:

From Nejie: Rushed na kami tenk you.

Fic Writer Interview

I was tagged by @sun-moon-stars-jedi thank you so much!

Name(s): singtheskyandfightlikehell, angelsandbrowncoats. I used to go by (The) Q bc of star trek and a private joke but some fuckers went and ruined that as a fun thing to call myself online, so if you want something a little easier to roll off the tongue than my usernames, idk bro... in middle school, my tolkien elf!sona was called Lethgaril, I guess that works lmao

Fandoms: So many. My current obsession is Batfam|Jayroy (and I’m inching towards Arrowfam as well). My lifelong fandom is Lord of the Rings. A (believe it or not) short list of some others I may or may not make content for in the future includes: Les Misérables (the brick over the musical, but I like both), Jane Austen’s works, Shakespeare’s works (esp. Hamlet & Much Ado), Pygmalion/My Fair Lady (the author has never been more alive, Eliza can’t mustn't shouldn’t and won’t marry Higgins), Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries, Death in Paradise, Shakespeare & Hathaway, Redwall, Dirk Gently, Galavant, Oxford Time Travel, Bartimaeus, The Good Place, and like... 30s/40s screwball comedies in general

Where you post: AO3 (angelsandbrowncoats), but I post links to tumblr & I have a full list of fic links and descriptions on my pinned carrd

Most popular one shot (by kudos):

Overall: It’s You, You’re All I See (Good Omens)

This Year: Worth the Wait (JayRoy)

Most popular multi-chap (also by kudos):

Overall: 2 Cups Feelings & A Dash of Common Sense (Gotham, permanent WIP, sorry)

This Year: PriestHood (JayRoy, technically multi-chap)

Favourite story you’ve written so far: Probably one of my WIPs, tbh (actually I’d say my original work based on my wild as fuck connected dreams that I may or may not ever publish) but of the complete ones, I’ll say It Need Not Follow (JayRoy) bc I really enjoy writing misunderstandings that turn out well and I amused myself a lot writing the confrontation between Jason and Roy in that one

Fic you were nervous to post: Of my recent ones, I’d say Worth the Wait because it was my first JayRoy fic and also it has a darker, more serious tone than a lot of what I write (although recently I’ve been in the mood to write heavier emotional scenes, so maybe that’s not quite true anymore).

How do you choose your titles: My preferred method is choosing a recurring theme or meaningful quote from the work as the title, but if I’m struggling to find one I like, I’ll sometimes use song lyrics or references to other works that vibe with the story. Mostly I use the latter for chapter titles rather than work titles, though.

Do you outline: I never mean to, but on longer fics I always end up losing the thread of the story and I end up having to outline anyway. Usually I just type a paragraph or two about what I want to have happen, or I’ll make a list of the things I don’t want to forget to include (mostly jokes for comedy pieces).

Complete: 105 total (not including original fiction or my recently orphaned high school works), 3 recent

In progress: 6, only counting ones with a significant portion written

Coming soon/not yet started: I no longer post my WIPs until they’re complete bc I’m really bad at finishing things and I’m tired of disappointing my readers, but here are a few of the ideas I’m working on or planning:

>A Thanksgiving JayRoy romcom that I’ll probably wait until next year to post bc it took too goddamn long, based on that “hire me to be your shitty (fake) boyfriend for thanksgiving” post except they fall for each other ofc. Also for some unfathomable reason I wrote a dark prequel for it featuring badass good mom!Talia

>A kinda sorta requested fic about the Bats needing to find the Supers and finding them at a good old fashioned midwestern barn dance that ends with the Bats having to square dance

>A fic based on an idea I had three years ago that Amanda Grayson from Star Trek is Dick Grayson’s descendant where she accidentally travels into the past and meets him

>A JayRoy bodyguard fic that was, again, supposed to be a short comedy but has quickly morphed into something huge about Jason refusing to become the Red Hood and instead getting revenge on Bruce via a long prank where he becomes Oliver Queen & family’s bodyguard but they don’t know who he is

>An experimental piece to help me explore relationships where a magical artifact traps various people connected to Jason in a strange, empty world that feels a bit apocalyptic but isn’t. There are four total groups of people, each in a different location to start with, and they basically have to work all their issues with each other out before they can leave.

>My one and only Bruce-centric fic designed to keep the Graysons alive where a lot of the same elements of Batman’s story happen but for different reasons, all beginning with Bruce’s parents getting shot outside the circus instead of the theater, Bruce getting amnesia, and John Grayson convincing his family to take in the injured amnesiac boy he finds

>and The Big One (aka the longest thing I’ve ever written in my life, which isn’t half done yet): JayRoy fake marriage featuring Lian, mutual pining, PTA/suburban shenanigans, social commentary, and long emotional arcs about familial reconciliation for both of them that may or may not be slower than the slowburn romance

Prompts: Feel free to send me prompts/requests, but I don’t guarantee I’ll write them. If I’m feeling it, I’m feeling it, and if I’m not, I’m not!

Upcoming work you’re most excited about: The novel-length fake marriage story, of course! Also the bodyguard AU, because the entire thing stems from one (1) incredibly inane joke and I can’t wait to post the chapter that includes the joke and revel in the groans

I can never think of anyone to tag for these things, esp. since I don’t really talk to people much on here anymore, but as always, if you see this and want to do it, consider yourself tagged by me!

naw, i enjoy dealing with the rest of you too. from what i've seen, i mean. thank you for telling me your thoughts. i really agree. i feel like- getting more aware of these things makes it hard to watch a lot of shows sometimes or stay in fandom unless one really knows how to select blogs and such and social circles. i have problems with it esp. since i'm autistic and have ADD, so i've always got my antennas out. often, fandom can ruin a lot of shows for me, which gets exhausting.

also, personally, the general aggressiveness and callout-culture in fandoms lately has me finding a hard time finding somewhere to 'rest and indulge'. i'm constantly scared of being 'problematic' myself. so for that matter, too, it's hard to enjoy fandom and write my own fics bc there's so many things i could do wrong that i can't even enjoy my own thoughts and interpretation of the source material. how do you... relax in that area? and just hang out? do you have a social circle to go with?

Fandom is very tricky. It’s a lot of disappointment, and sometimes for the sake of your own health you have to take 10 steps back. But when you do find people who feel the same you do it’s amazing. I guess my biggest piece of advice would be try and find a sub community. If you’re LGBT, a person of color, or in your case autistic or with ADD, I can guarantee you you aren’t the only one like that out there. You’ll have to sort through bullshit to find each other usually but it’s honestly worth it. You become each other’s source for fandom content and that makes everything much easier.

And with the problematic thing, there’s kind of this belief that if something is problematic you can’t enjoy it but that’s not true. There’s levels to problematic, which is kind of why I don’t like the word.For example I’m cis. If a game introduces a trans character, and other trans people say “It’s a step in the right direction cause they did xyz right but they also did xyz wrong” I take note of that and read more about why the bad was bad. I’ll still play the game and enjoy it, but I’m gonna criticize what I can within my boundaries. On the other side if I’m told something was extremely offensive and I shouldn't support it, I’m not going to.Once again find out more about why it was bad so I make sure to never do that same thing, and just listen.

Then as to being worried about being problematic yourself there are two things: one, you’ll never not be problematic, and two, research is your friend. Tumblr is a good starting place, but it’s by no means comprehensive. I’m a writer, so if there’s a character I make who doesn’t exist within my own experiences (aka they aren’t a gay black cis man) I look up as much as I can. And since I’m in university and there’s always a club for everything, I’ll visit one of them or sit and and just listen to their experiences.

I hope this all made sense lol. But like I said before you’ll never not be problematic, it’s a life long struggle because our society enforces problematic ideologies. Shit I may or may not have said something problematic in my answer. But all you can really do is just listen, learn, and try your best not to do it again.

Rachel [off-site]:

B4 our WALK (Wed. Aug 29th)

This is the weird thing... I can’t stop thinking about Fascism… Esp lately, b/c my knee is busted and all I do is stay in reading AntiFa clickbait… B/c my Grandaddy was in WWII and he had stories… B/c it scares me… B/c of Mussolini and his fetishization of Ancient Rome (and larger habits of folks who author connections with a simplified notion of the past to bolster their position/ideology/nationalist identity etc.)… But I’m just some privileged white girl from Canada who never had to experience Fascism first-hand (just geographically distanced observations on the net, or historicized musings)… at least not yet… what am I even doing talking or thinking about ancient history at a time like this?

So, back in 2008-2010, during the financial/housing crash, I made a bunch of work in Los Angeles (that was re-framed in 2015) about the weird link btwn the 2nd wave of American Neo-Classism and their banking system (it’s tangled and almost shockingly synchronic)… apparently bits and pieces of this get discussed in the more academic end of Copyright Law (a friend’s mom who’s a world renowned expert/prof/editor [she knows her shit] of a major journal on the subject told me so… so, yeah)…

So that whole thing got me to thinking about buried shit… how we take-on and dig-up this buried shit... how we shape and clean it and in doing so distinctly author it. The permeating compressed dust, dirt and nitre gets scraped off and discarded, and the remaining matter is shaped into an augmented sign; transforming the Aggregate Clump into a Sharply Formed Declaration …

It got me thinking about how this buried shit gets used (sometimes forcefully) by governments, assholes, even well-intentioned assholes...artists... it doesn’t matter… it gets cleaned up and scrubbed up and (re)shaped and hoisted back up again… and again… and again… All that repeated and meme-y and calcified Benjaminian Fossil shit (thank-u Susan Buck-Morss <3). We forget that marble and stone and terracotta was gaudy and painted and dirty and fleshy and stinky and messy... that the gods lived in the stone and they were lusty and corporeal… they fucking LIVED in them… that people shat around here… gods shat around here… literally shat… ate and shat… look around this necropolis… someone has shit and pissed here, I guarantee it. Ritual and Reverence, wtvr. There’s someone’s garbage over there (old and new and ancient and plastic)… Someone has taken a dump here! Dig it. The chaos is resistance...

I dunno, I want to talk about the fetishization and re-authoring the past and Fascism and nostalgia but I don’t know if I’m allowed to… if it makes me a real fucking asshole for even attempting it (making that association). A dumb Canadian ex-pat/migrant walks into a Roman/Italian ruin and immediately goes to ______ism… This is usually the kind of harsh narrative voice I have spoken through a surrogate when I do my performances because I’m such a fucking pussy and sometimes scared of my own words (ok, ok, there are obvs considered/conceptual reasons but this is personal/casual email format, so here’s some performative vulnerability)… But every time I want to talk about impressions and thoughts and imaginations and Imagineering and all that about a solid place, a (HARD) Place (especially one that screams HISTORY in bloc capitols), that I don’t know abso-fucking-everything about (as if panomathic knowledge can be achieved – w/o going into debates on who’s knowing is legit/cannon [speaking of fascism/colonialism/empirical thinking]) I get scared as fuck… because lets face it… Monuments = (HARD) Power and Framing = (HARD) Power. The solid-as-a-rock, simplified, uni-lateral presentation of these (HARD) objects/architecture is about Power... Declarative, Shaped, Authored POWER (and that is kinda scary)…

But I’m post-net-y/net-y-native enuff-to-kno that the infinite refractions of opinion and speculation that bounce like imperfect fleshy radar off of these objects and spaces can potentially offer up a whole multi-verse of meanings, readings… pasts, futures, presents… the (HARD) stuff is still permeable and plastic under the right conditions… Embracing entropy and all that (I’m sorry, I spent too much time in California/@CalArts and art-bro’s in Cali spend waaaaaay to much time talk’n bout the entropic, ugh)… So, yeah, order and chaos, excavation and neglect... I’m violently ambivalent as usual.

The WALK (Wed. Aug 30th)

How do I feel, what are my impressions?

Wikipedia tells me that the Greeks used this as a minor outpost, didn’t really care much about it. It was too far out from anything else, isolated.

I keep thinking of Ballard’s The Crystal World...

* * *

You (Sarah) Skyped me and the connection sucked but the images were nice. It was like back in the day when I would steal my brother’s World of Warcraft login and go fuck-about with his Orc (he didn’t like that). Whenever the connection was dropped-and-returned you loaded in slow, long lags… long fucking lags… then sped-up fast catch-ups when your voice would go all robotic. The necropolis looked like Minecraft (which was fitting, considering we used a Minecraft “grave” in our last work tgthr)…

It’s difficult for me to get a sense of the “flesh” (in the embodied theological/corporeal sense) of the place. Like I mentioned earlier… gods, people, animals shit and pissed [with]in these places and forms, and I’m trying to figure out how that embodiment shifts/relates/translates/transubstantiates to a pixel.

At the end of our “walk”, Anthony Gormley’s dude taking up the best view in the whole park pops up, and our connection starts going haywire and I got weird feedback and its all so “slender-man” creepy, haunted shit… screeches and hiss and this black “shadow” figure…The whole landscape blurred and chunky. I wanted so badly to post this to one of those digital folklore pages on reddit but the feedback sound didn’t record and it kinda killed the spookiness.

Still, sound or no sound… glitch-blur or no glitch-blur… bad connection… wtvr got lost… collections of impressions... for my purpose it made good video.
