Usually when boyfriend and I IM, it takes a long walk to get to a drink of water and it’s a nice payoff, but here it was to the point.

[[fixed for typoes]]

jimmythejiver dj has a new film theory: whenever a movie is gonna be edgy and they afraid it won’t do good they throw in a dance! dj’s examples are: american psycho, morbius, the joker and then my brain pinged “it all started with fucking clockwork orange!” oh one more thing, obvs, saturday night fever is the reverse phenomena it’s a dance movie so we better make sure it has an edgy vibe quietthickwaterproof oh, I have a theory to that jimmythejiver yeah? quietthickwaterproof I think I can do this shortly jimmythejiver sure quietthickwaterproof man: manly man: dance, is manly man: now must be gruff man: manly to be nothing but exist man: dances…is not manly…? man: dances, it’s truly lost (or his own man) jimmythejiver whut?

This story pretty much pays rent to live in my head and I finally found it again so I’m posting it so I can find it again.

_______________________________

Not a high class restaurant or hotel, just a nice little shop selling fresh house-made pasta and sauces to take home and boil/heat up yourself. We got the stereotypical rich people due to the location smack in the middle of Marin County CA. This was in the late 80’s and food trends were plentiful and rapidly evolving. Many people were very interested in being on the cutting edge of the latest trend, be it the latest hot restaurant or that month’s fabulous must have menu item. Not that they were actually into food, but just to be “in the know” and brag about how you simply must try the most fabulous tiramisu at (latest hot restaurant). We actual restaurant folk would stoically refrain from rolling our eyes in their presence and carry on.

So at the pasta shop one evening, a typical Marin Matron arrived in her jeweled slippers, clattery jewelry and a cloud of perfume. She pushed past the other patrons in front of her and said she needed some squid ink pasta. “I’m sorry,” I replied, “we don’t actually make a squid ink pasta, but you may be able to find it at (fancy grocery store in the same plaza), they carry several very good imported items.” She gaped at me and started moaning “OHHHH NO NO NO NO NOOOOO”, of course now everyone in the place was staring at her. She then told me that she HAD TO have squid ink pasta because she had her “gourmet friends” coming for dinner and they HAD TO have squid ink pasta. I apologized again, explaining that we didn’t make squid ink pasta and again suggested the fancy grocery store, only to be cut off by her loud wailing “OHHHH NO NO NO....” again. I just stood and watched along with everyone else in the place as she paced up and down before the display case, clutching her head and repeating “Squid ink pasta...gourmet friends! SQUID INK PASTA...GOURMET FRIENDS!” over and over at the top of her lungs, as if this incantation would magically call forth a hidden cache of squid ink pasta.

Needless to say, we could not provide said SQUID INK PASTA so I don’t know what she served to her GOURMET FRIENDS that fateful evening. The whole thing was just so bizarre and over the top. Anytime we encountered some delusional, entitled weirdo, we’d mutter ”Squid ink pasta!” and cackle to each other.

Why are you weeping for me?

You mean this line in my last post:

This is all my co-writer's characters and he is excellent in characterization and actions, it makes me weep.

Well, I'll pull out some excerpts:

"I've met someone that doesn't feel like pain," Ignis let slip out. He looked up at his uncle. "Maybe I'm doing it all for him."

"Tell me about him," Uncle demanded, only to clear his throat to his nongangster voice. "I mean, if you want."

Ignis looked off into the garden. "Maybe I don’t know enough to yet." He looked back at his uncle, smiling. "I think that's my favorite part."

[I love this exchange. It establishes Ignis's love for Noctis without stating that's who it is. It also establishes Uncle's attempts to not be gruff and allow Ignis the room to open up if he wants since he's usually private. I like Ignis's hope and optimism here that contrasts with the previous chapters. Almost like a reprieve.]

And then there's this exchange:

Cor put his hands up. He was holding a small case in one hand. "Okay, sorry, you're right. I should have knocked. I heard you sounding upset and I panicked." He glanced at Ignis. "I wanted...I wanted to check on him."

"You stay away from him!" Uncle yelled. "You and yours have done nothing but hurt him! I humored you, but where were you last night?"

"Drinking," Cor answered. "I was...drinking everything in the house and then I ordered more. Shit, I'm still drunk, okay?" He eased down onto the side of the porch near Ignis, burying his face in his hand. "What did Amicitia do?" he asked weakly.

[I love Uncle's serious protectiveness punctuated by Cor's pathetic candidness.]

There's a lot more moments like this and I'm not spoiling Cor's gift, or the cait siths. It's just good and it's a chapter both humorous and touching after too many chapters of weeping in a traumatic or frustrated way. This is weeping like a nice reunion between old lovers, or weeping when someone 'gets' you.

I don’t know what’s wrong with my photoshop, so more minimalist MSPaint for @jimmythejiver because he loves aliens, I love him, but he never told me when his birthday was.  Also, gay. =P

[quietthickwaterproof]

Well man they were right and I was wrong. Final Fantasy IX really is the best Final Fantasy there ever was because there’s no Prompto.
