#(what they do is throw my favourite character in the blender)

It's been a little while since I last drew her (a little over two years, wow!) so I thought I'd give Kitty another go! :] (Character by @scaryscarecrows)

Is it just me or is Solver Tessa AU giving kinda "Unsweetened Lemonade" by Amélie Farren. Mostly the chorus but the verses also work really well.

Like Tessa has become bitter with humanity and sings the song to Nori and Yeva during a bonding session, to explain what happened to her while simultaneously taunting the scientists, specifically "Your conscience never compromised and ego doesn't pay".

Well first off thank you for the new song I love it.

On to the subject of Tessa, I really do just throw my favourite characters in a blender to see what happens. It isn’t even just what the scientists did but her whole life she’s trying to be on her best behaviour but due to stuff out of her control she gets punished anyways, like N said something Louisa didn’t like and she straight up gets chained to her bed. In the beginning she actually tried to be as helpful and well behaved as she could but that ended up with her getting basically tortured because the scientists wanted to see her core and frankly didn’t care that it would hurt Tessa. After that incident Tessa just sort of gave up and realises nothing she does will change anything so might as well let everything out she’s been holding back for years.

A little extra spiciness to this whole situation the scientists actually blame the Solver virus for her behaviours rather than acknowledge that what there doing is fucked up and caused her behaviour. Like leaving out the literal torture they did their also just isolating her from everything ironically giving her a serious case of cabin fever.

Anyway, I really do just like the descent into madness storylines and murder drones really has plenty potential there.

Hi! I, evidently like so many others, absolutely loved THD!! I am spinning it in my hands, bouncing it up and down, examining the fractals it throws off when held to light... it's just SO GOOD! I wandered over here when you posted the final chapter, read your plan of attack post for the series and am now stuck on this somehow being the first fandom fic you've written?? If you're happy to answer, I would love to know what it is about TL and Jamie Tartt specifically that inspired you to jump from original work (which I will definitely be checking out later!! Your prose demands no less!!) and into fan fiction, any why this particular AU gripped you to the point of delivering 80k words of brilliance? Thank you for the story and (hopefully) thank you in advance for the response!

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! My venture into fanfic is the result of a confluence of a few different factors. I finally got around to watching TL maybe a month before season 3 aired, having already osmosed some of the major plot points from Tumblr at large — most notably the Wembley scene, which was the main reason I decided to watch it and probably gave Jamie an edge going in. The show falls into the sweet spot between "bad but I had a good time" and "this is a beautiful work of art" that made me want to dig my fingers in and pick it apart: it has defined themes and character arcs and is overall well-crafted, but also has a number of flaws and bits that didn't quite work, particularly when it comes resolution of Jamie's arc with his dad — which annoyed me so much that it's the origin of this sideblog.

Jamie falls into the category of like. characters alchemically created for me to like them. As in, the first time I heard a description of the show, they got to Jamie and I was like "if I ever watch this, he's going to be my favourite." And I was right! I have a real soft spot for what I lovingly refer to as "narrative problem children": if there's one member of the main group who causes problems for everyone else and is an asshole that no one likes, they're probably my special little guy (think season 1 Izzy Hands, Catra from She-Ra, Thomas Barrow from Downton Abbey who was the only reason I watched that show), which of course means I want to put them through the emotional blender. Bonus points if they're either very talented/good at whatever they do (especially if it comes from hard work rather than natural affinity), a schemer (I love me a schemer), have a tragic backstory, and/or have autism vibes.

My reasons for getting into fanfic are maybe surprisingly pragmatic: I'd finished part 1 of my original fic series and wanted to write something else before I started editing so I wouldn't be thinking about that universe and would be able to judge the world-building more accurately. I'd also spent enough time in my academic life defending my ideas and having my writing critiqued that I stopped being as nervous about having an audience and became curious about how people would respond to my fiction writing, which I figured would be a lot easier to find out with fanfic. (Was it also a bit of a guerrilla marketing campaign for my original fic? Maybe a little).

As for this AU in particular, I was really interested in how the relationship that we see between Georgie and Jamie in 3x11 fits in with everything we'd previously learned (or could deduce) about his past, as well as how Jamie might respond to being made vulnerable the way he is in 2x08 at the height of his prick era. I fully did not intend for it to be 80k (it was supposed to be a one-shot) but the story kept expanding and sometime around chapter 3 or 4, it got upgraded from "quick break from the original fic" to "long-term project."

[lucidicer]

3, 13, 19, and 20 for the editing questions 🗣️ i’m trying bat away your imposter syndrome with a stick rn i love how you edit !!!!!

first of all THANK U RIVER <3333 MWAHH

3. how long have you been editing for?

this is a hard question to answer tbh pfhdjfh like been editing in general since like 2011 on instagram but specifically sims editing since ig 2016 but it was never anything more complicated than cropping and throwing someone elses actions on top. i only started really wanting to do more complicated editing in like november 2022

19. what part of the editing process do you enjoy the most?

def the colour grading!! i only recently started going out of my way to do it but omg it adds SO much to an edit. i spend most of my time in photoshop just turning the adjustment layer group on and off in awe tbh

20. pick your favourite edit that you’ve done

without a doubt it's this one. i really went for it with every aspect of this edit, ive tried this approach before but it never came out how i wanted it to. i made two whole blender scenes for this edit, spent hours figuring out the lighting on its own, edited both poses used and i think i perfectly captured what i wanted to :') im just really proud of it overall tbh

13. do you have any inspirations from media?

gonna answer this one under the cut cause i wanna add pics lmao

cw blood, drug use, smoking, prostitution under the cut

i absolutely have inspirations from media, everything i create is inspired by at least 3 different things at once. if i were to mention every thing individually that has inspired me i'd be here all day so ill just cover two that really drive me

the basketball diaries (1995)

one of my all time fav movies and not only does the cinematography inspire me but also the mood of the movie and how they create it and how characters interact with eachother. also the outfits.

lilya 4-ever (2002)

another fav movie. i think the pics speak for themselves, really just a visually beautiful movie. every creative thought i have has this movie on the moodboard in my brain <3

and more broadly horror/thriller movies in general are a big source of inspiration.

wip inspiration tag — next day after dawn

thank you max @goose-books for the tag!! the rules for this one are list as many inspirations/influences as you would like for your current work in progress, and explain how they’ve shaped your project!

next day after dawn (or, the project formerly known as historieswip) is a second word political fiction novel that's basically a mishmash shakespeare's histories with 90% less battle scenes and 90% more insane family dynamics. after everyone's favourite boyboss war criminal king gets deposed, his inner circle gets locked up by the new regime, and we follow them as they try to figure out what to do next and slowly drive each other insane.

tagging: @wren-is-writing @athenapollo @avi-why and anyone else who wants to do this!

henry vi part 3 (aka the whole wars of the roses tetralogy): there's a reason this project is just nicknamed historieswip. ohhhhh babygirl we got histories and i am not preserving shakespeare's timelines at ALL, i am just throwing those babies in a blender until i get 1. vaguely medieval english political structures 2. war with not-france 3. huge royal family with so much wrong with them. but from the henry vi plays specifically! this is where like half of the characters come from. the prince cyrus/cassandane/darcy dynamic is just the henry vi/margaret/suffolk love triangle, the house of lunares is the house of york: girlboss edition, and everything about the prince cyrus and mona dynamic comes from me Thinking about henry vi and richard iii foils moments. i could say more but we'd be here all day.

henry iv part 1 (and kind of 2): so. king cyrus is hal but that's also so mean to hal because king cyrus is SO much worse. however. he does have the hal backstory, by which i mean he was a rakish little alcoholic prince with a gay little boytoy until his dad died and then he had to get Serious and banish all his besties. and renan is his poins except if poins didn't get banished and stuck as the world's most depressed advisor faking respectability instead. ALSO kane my best friend kane is basically my hotspur <33

henry v: again, king cyrus is basically just henry v with the war crimes dialed up to 11. this one is the main inspiration for his conquering hero era and also the conflict with not-france and the not-french wife. it's also where i stole the title from!

king john: most of the histories i'm stealing from are at least like. connected to each other. king john is not but i love philip the bastard so fucking much so he's here (with extra transmasc aroace swag). that's helios — the war hero king's bastard who shows up to rise above his station and annoy everyone around him. and maybe be terminally loyal to a king who really doesn't deserve it

succession: the elevator pitch for this project is basically shakespeare's histories meets succession. specifically, season 1 episode 2 of succession, where the all-powerful patriarch is suddenly out of commission and maybe never coming back and the rest of the family is left losing their minds and wondering what the fuck they do now.

the hunger games: here's where i put on my clown shoes and admit that. um. you know how i said kane is hotspur. well he is but he's ALSO cato from the hunger games, as characterized in the criminally long fanfiction i wrote in middle school. and drea is um. clove. ANYWAY. thg is also an inspiration in terms of worldbuilding because i'm going for something kind of post-post-apocalyptic where there are vast disparities in technology in different parts of the country after decades of war and inequality. so we get modern tech plus medieval weapons, thank god.

darkling: this is partly a hatecrime against max my best friend max @goose-books because once upon a time i started jokingly shipping the two horrible old men in this book and then got so attached to the dynamic that i fully imported it into this project and made it canon gay. sorry bestie. but GENUINELY darkling is one of the best fucking books i've ever read and such a huge inspiration for how i do shakespeare retellings and also fucked up family dynamics.

gideon the ninth: this book is really nothing like gtn but i have to give it a shoutout because reading gtn was what inspired me to create this project! basically because i remembered how much i love ensemble casts and decided i wanted to write one. there are some similarities in terms of the vibe of everyone being locked in a big fucked up house together and everyone having super on the nose themed names but really just shoutout to tamsyn muir for being such a good writer that she made me want what she had (so many blorbos)

thank you for coming to my ted talk <3

[thesassysausage]

No one asked for it, but I wanna point out differences between the Jurassic Park movie and Jurassic Park book. I love both of them and they are very different from each other because the movie was in production before Michael Crichton even had the book released. Lots of my opinion on the changes too, but really, whos going to read this really? 

Spoilers Ahead!!!

John Hammond

Hammond is definitely one of my favourite characters in the movie (Dr. Ian Malcom is my absolute favourite), but I hate him in the book. Thankfully, in the book, hating him is the point. They gave many of Hammond’s negative traits to Gennaro in the movie (more on Gennaro later), like his focus on the profit and marketing. Book Hammond was not a doting grandfather, or a kindly eccentric old man. He was an old rich jerk that blamed everyone for the failures of the park and wouldn’t listen to any expert in any field or department when they said something was NOT going to work. The man literally hired people under NDAs and didn’t tell them the full scope of the park. Book Nedry’s frustrations was because of all the hidden information; it literally made his and his team’s job 100x harder because they couldn’t account for freaking dinosaurs when they don’t know about the dinosaurs. Book Hammond also constantly just thinks of the dinosaurs as attractions instead of living, breathing, genetically messed up creatures. He is that ‘man controls nature, it just takes will’ type of rich assholes and will never ever admit to his faults. Book Hammond also spends the entire breakdown of the park in his own protected compound and instead of being concerned for the wellbeing of his staff employs the ‘its their own fault’ mentality. Movie Hammond for the win.

The Dinosaurs

So I saw a post a long time ago that pointed out how unrealistic the behavior of the dinosaurs are when compared to modern animals. In the book this is subtly address. The movie leaves out the subtle assertions by both Dr. Grant and Dr. Malcom that Jurassic Park isn’t filled with dinosaurs but rather genetic monsters. Frequently in the book it’s pointed out that the dinos all act a little off. There are ones that kind of just stare dazed, the rex can’t see without movement (something that paleontologists had debunked years before the book was written), and the raptors were insanely aggressive. Dr. Grant notes that Velociraptors (although the book description and whats shown in the movie are actually Utah Raptors) are highly social and have social organization. He is surprised by the aggression in the raptors he sees. Basically the book implies throughout the narrative that what looks like a dinosaur really isn’t, it’s even pointed out that they have no way of knowing if they even look right. On that note too, Dr. Wu (who seems to have become a villain in the movie franchise) noted that for a long period of time he was under the impression they were dealing with reptile DNA. He wasn’t told he was looking to complete dino dna, and everything he ordered for the study and for the replication of dna was based on reptile dna. He quickly realized that it was far more similar to Avian dna, and then also added amphibian dna to the mix. The process of creating a dinosaur in the book is basically ‘throw everything in a blender and hope it turns out’, like the genetics team doesn’t even know what dino will pop out of the eggs when they’re hatching.

Dr. Malcom

So not too much different here. Book Malcom is also my favourite but in the book he kind of dangles the ‘I know how you fucked up’ knowledge in front of everyone from the moment he learns about the dinosaurs and the tracking system in the park. The line in the movie where Dr. Grant talks about amphibians changing sex in a same sex environment (fun fact there are fish that do that too, go trans fish), was Dr. Malcom’s line in the book. He basically points out, while high off his ass on pain killers, that they engineered the dinos to be able to reproduce. More than that he points out that they are tracking the EXPECTED NUMBER of dinos in the park...they were so sure that the dinos couldn’t reproduce (cuz dinos leaving the island was an issue that triggered Jurassic Parks audit on top of...you know, the guy getting mauled by a raptor that’s shown in the movie but only the aftermath is described in the book as the dude clings to life in a Costa Rican hospital). When they adjusted the number of expected dinos, wouldn’t you know, there was more. The Park also had back up generators kick in and they carried on containing the dinos, but malcom in a feverish state kept trying to give a warning, cuz wouldn’t you know the back ups didn’t kick start the main generator. 

Oh and they also leave out the pteradactyls...a whole ass viewing platform in a massive aviary was left uncovered so people could see flying dinos...and then the dinos dive bombed the staff cuz they could.

Fun fact: Spielberg brought on actual paleontologists to help make the dinosaurs look more realistic. They got access to top of the line computers that took input information on skeletal structure and muscle attachments and showed how something would move with those features. The Raptor movements are as close to realistic as we can get...or could get...its probably more accurate now.

Timmy is younger

Book Timmy is the older sibling, while Movie Timmy is the younger. This change was done for an actual cool reason on Spielberg’s part. Spielberg decided that the actor who played Timmy was the absolute youngest age an actor could be in his movie. He felt subjecting a younger child to the animatronics would be too traumatizing...which is good considering that scene where Timmy and Lex are in the car and the glass drops on them with the Rex’s head inside the car too was a technical failure...those werent acted screams of terror, that was the actors actually being terrified cuz the robo rex was NOT suppose to drop that far and the break away glass was NOT suppose to be braced by the two of them...made for a great scene though. Movie Timmy also lost his hacker side, which was given to Lex...I guess having a dino obsessed hacker kid was a bit much so the split the hacker and dino obsession between the two of them since Book Lexi was...a child...a boring child.

Gennaro was done dirty

Book Gennaro was an InGen lawyer just like the movie. However, Book Gennaro had a god damn spine and wasn’t a money obsessed asshat. Book Gennaro was already mad going to the park because he was missing his daughter’s birthday. Book Gennaro ripped Hammond a new asshole for bringing his grandchildren to a potentially dangerous park. Book Gennaro didn’t go on the car tour, so he didn’t abandon Timmy and Lexi. Book Gennaro helped to get people to safety in the final chapters of the book...oh and he lives. In the movie Gennaro’s character is merged with Hammond’s negative traits as well as a very unlikable PR person who name escapes me. The PR dude is suppose to watch the kids, which he is not happy with, and abandons them at the first sign of Godzilla...I mean the T-Rex. The movie did a very likeable character dirty...cuz the dude was definitely in the ‘lets not open this hell park’ group with...everyone else.

Dr. Grant and Dr. Sattler romance

I assume this movie change was to add a spark of romantic intrigue or something. I mean, they didn’t do it well but its really apparent in the introduction of Dr. Grant and Dr. Sattler that they have a thing. In the book Dr. Grant is old enough to be Dr. Sattler’s dad, and likes her as his favourite student...not love interest. Book Sattler is engaged, and is close friends with Dr. Grant cuz he was her prof while she was doing her PhD in Paleobotany. This one always bothered me, but at least the kept in how wicked cool Dr. Sattler was.

Nedry

Now Book Nedry is still the ass that causes the park to shut down and all the dinos to get out. His motivations and role are slightly more complex. He is the head of a team from a university...it escapes me at the moment and I don’t know where my copy of the book is. He made the system exactly to Hammond’s specifications, which left out several key details, and Hammond yelled at him for doing a piss poor job. Nedry went out personally to try to fix the issues but Hammond would not pay more to have the issues fixed, believing them to be Nedry’s fault and not the fault of not having information Hammond neglected to tell him. So he wasn’t just a random techie at Jurassic Park, he was basically head programming developer that was being severely mistreated by an old wind bag that believed he could do no wrong.

The Climax

So the main goal in the book, from Dr. Grant’s storyline, was to warn the administration that two baby raptors were on a boat set to leave the island...there was also a whole thing about the island literally being fire bombed because the raptors started acting weird and all Grant could think of was that they were getting ready to migrate. It would be too long to explain fully but yeah.

I know I’m missing stuff, but those are the ones that always come to mind when I think of the differences between book Jurassic Park and movie Jurassic Park. Honestly if they ever ‘remade’ Jurassic Park a more direct book adaptation would be awesome...but people would be confused cuz they probably haven’t read the book and would be so shocked to see Hammond being a right dick.

I'm not that much of an expert, but I'm 100% sure someone is going to mention Blender, THE big all-in-one 3d modeling software

The good: you can make just about any 3d model you want with it

The bad: it is hand-crafted by the eldritch horrors

The problem wita Blender is the same problem with Unity for people who don't know what they're doing tho: too many buttons, too many options and too many weird quirks about it that seem to go against what you want to do. And that's what you get when you try an all-purpose software, you get a bucket of headaches and a couple youtube tutorials

That said, there are many youtube tutorials for 3d modeling on youtube with Blender, some helpful and some not. For the sake of having options, I'll list two tutorials that helped me when I tried getting into Blender:

The first is where I started, a tutorial that gets right into how to go from 2d image to 3d character. May be a little difficult to follow for someone just getting into it

Next, a much more digestable resource, this guy's tutorial. Starting from the idea and working your way through the process, it's something I recommend if the first one isn't working for you

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSjFpQ6OxyAUcRerrGyyAKeQ_KjXG9JjN&feature=shared

Now that you know about blender, I can get into my personal recommendation- Vroid Studio, free on Steam.

The good: the literal easiest humanoid model creator ever. The UI is a breath of fresh air

The bad: Humanoid anime model specifically, so if that isn't your thing, this probably won't help

Vroid Studio is a more recent 3d modeling software, and specifically is more of a "character creator" that is still being updated to this day. It has a bit of a sims-style process, in that there's a bunch of preset items to choose from in terms of face, clothes, etc. However, you can export and import textures and create new items, so if the tools it gives you don't work for you, you can throw the textures into your favourite art program (if you spend most of your drawing on your phone like I do, recommend Ibispaint, else on pc you could try Krita or Gimp, or Clip Studio if you want. If you don't want something on your pc and instead want a image editor in your browser, then go Photopea, I use that for .dds texture editing but Vroid textures are .png so anything will do really)

Another thing I have to mention is the ease of the hair tools. You have your hair presents, but also you get to physically draw the hair on the model yourself if you want, and you can specially configure the bones for the hair so they move exactly like you want to (some fiddling required). You can also go so far with Vroid so as to change how the light shades the model, and the shade colour to create a more 3d-ish effect, such as in this video:

[error - I can't find the video, but I swear it existed at some point. Something about making the shading colour of the skin based on the skin colour? And I remember they said something about yellowish light in daylight and purplish light at night. I recommend experiment with shading if you want a more 3d realism look, else you can get a plugin to port your vroid model into blender and adjust the shaders from there]

There's also the ability for you to turn your 3d model into a vtuber avatar or vrchat avatar, something Phia has made several tutorials on:

https://youtu.be/aD5yAAPA4fU?feature=shared

The most important thing to keep in mind when working with Vroid is your vroid models are exported in .vrm format. This means that you can really only use them in other apps that can use .vrm models, which isn't that many. If you want something else you could, again, import that into blender and save as .fbx if that's possible, OR you could try importing it into MMD via a .vrm to .pmx converter, but keep in mind that may mess with the textures a little. An upside to importing into MMD is, if you're willing how to use MMD to a basic level, you can import and create animations from the MMD community so your funny little guy can dance on screen. (Again again, you can also convert to .pmx and Then import into blender, and use an MMD blender plugin to import animations, if you don't like MMD's interface)

That's about as much as I can help with, hope this at least points you in a general direction to start with. I would recommend at least trying these out and looking around to familairize yourself with 3d model stuff. Remember to have fun with it!

does anyone know of any cheap/free/non-subscription 3d modeling programs that're easy to learn or have good tutorials? i wanna try making 3d references of my ocs instead of 2d ones.....

[sambeckdraws]

drawing backgrounds

I’ve been documenting some of my work on Verse: Book 2, especially around a new location that felt daunting at first but has ended up being really fun. I wanted to write a short post to basically be like, “Hey! Backgrounds and perspective aren’t as scary as you think; it just takes some planning!” 

Woah, also, this is uniquely my process for comics and trying to wrap my head around a scene I need to draw 100 times haha.

Throughout Book 1, the primary setting is this camp built around an old fortress. When I initially designed it, I had access to an old version of SketchUp to create a very rough 3D model. It was super helpful, and I would basically take screenshots of and then draw on top of them. Sadly SketchUp is not a viable option for me anymore, so when I started designing this new location…I foolishly chose to put off learning a tool like blender in favour of working quickly to hit deadlines.

To tackle this setting, I started off with a good old Pinterest board of things I wanted to draw inspiration from (ruins, industrial bits, steam vents, “vernacular” homes etc.) 

I like introducing large settings like this with a big old aerial shot. It sets it up for the reader, and it helps me get an idea of where things will go without getting lost in the details.

The next thing I wanted to do was translate this panel into a map, and you’ll see why in a moment. This map is pretty rough. I’m not ultra concerned with the exact scale. I just need to know like, “ah, there’s a weird vent behind this dock, or a pipe runs in-between these houses.” And a cool detail is I also need to know when a scene is facing east because there’s a detail in the sky that should be visible if you look that way.

With a map in hand and a sort of “master” panel to refer to, I’m pretty set to tackle scenes now. The process is straightforward. 

First, I generate a grid that matches the angle I had in mind based on my thumbnails and throw it down. (I use photoshop, whomp whomp, so make a grid however you want, I use this website mostly).

Next, a draw in blocky shapes starting with the focal point in the scene.

At this point, I refer to my map to see what’s going on in the background and what I believe should be visible. Sometimes I rotate the map, so it’s facing the direction the panel faces if that makes sense to help orient myself. There are some ruins on a hill in this one panel below, so I add them into the background. I refer to a previous panel for the arches. (Fun note, I always work in red and blue to help separate elements like the background and foreground and characters, I’d lose my mind if this was all one colour.)

Then I go back and start adding in detail, but not too much. I still have to ink these, and I’m not going to fuss with small things that I’ll just have to draw a second time! My favourite cheats are hiding things behind large foreground elements and also hiding distant things behind trees. Nobody is looking at that. Just be loose, don’t fuss too much. 

This is also a stylistic thing (and something I can get away with simply because my setting is “fantasy-medieval”), but I hate using straight lines. A kind of bumpy, uneven line will hide mistakes and make things look more natural. 

All the perspective after I throw down a grid is eyeballed. I won’t bother getting into that because there’s already an AMAZING set of tutorials put together by Thomas Romain that you can find here.

Drawing backgrounds is something I used to fear. But, it’s become super fun trying to imbue a scene personality while coming at it from this mindset of figuring out a puzzle. 

I honestly like answering questions, so if you got any send an ask or whatever!

(This post brought to you by me deleting my patreon since I updated it never. I hope to do some super sporadic blogs in the future.)

[vivithefolle]

So if you were in charge of the HP books, would you have kept the Canaries™? Personally I would, but I wouldn't handle it the way the books did. However I would gladly remove the DH beating scene, thank you very much. But then again, I'm not entirely sure what else she would do that's not ooc乁⁠(⁠ ⁠•⁠_⁠•⁠ ⁠)⁠ㄏ. Any ideas?

Keeping the canaries? HAHA no. Throw the suckers into a blender and make chicken McNuggets outta em.

HBP is frankly my least favourite book and I don't understand why so many people love it so much? Like... these characters we know and love are running around being absolute fucking assholes, and yeah I know that's what teenagers are like but, fuck, not like that!

I'd rewrite the whole of HBP honestly. Between the Slowest History Lesson Ever with Dumbledore explaining Voldemort's backstory in such a long convoluted way, the whole OMG DRACO IS ACTUALLY A DEATH EATER BUT NOBODY BELIEVES IT (yeah, confirming that Draco *is* a DE right at the beginning makes it super frustrating instead of intriguing, whodda thought), and all the Rowling's Idea Of Romantic stuff, I'm... yeah.

I'd probably rewrite DH too, keep the Locket scene and remove the beating, as you said. Like, I'm fine if Hermione just, thumps Ron's chest with her palm once or twice as she cries into his arms. Her emotions are all over the place, it makes sense she'd be looking for ways to externalize her anger but then she's just too relieved Ron's back and she bursts into tears.

She could *try* to act super cold and distant, like "oh, you're back, Ron? That's nice, I totally don't care, I totally was better off without you", and Ron being Ron winces and is like "yeah I can believe that" while Harry is banging his head against a rock in the background, then Hermione keeps trying to act aloof but her façade is cracking, Ron is still super candid and saying "yeah, I understand" and trying not to cry, and when Hermione notices that Ron is just as heartbroken as she is she goes "wtf am I doing" and flings herself at him knocking him flat on his ass and crying "I didn't mean that! I didn't mean any of that!" and Ron just says "oh" while Harry is still trying to lobotomize himself to escape the awkwardness.

There were just SO many ways. Not dragging poor Lavender into the Trio's mess would have been cool, first of all. Maybe instead it could have been a storyline of Ron indeed trying to give up on being with Hermione - at least trying - and getting together with Luna, because hey why not she seems to like him and listens to him. They date for a while but eventually Ron decides he likes her better as a friend. He may try to do the whole "I don't want to hurt her feelings so I'm gonna try to distance myself from her" thing like the dork he is. But Luna is pretty perceptive, she would notice.

I'd rewrite HBP and DH, frankly. In DH have less Mary Sue Hermione moments because really fuck that noise, the Lovegood escape will be done as a collaborative effort from Ron and Harry instead, Hermione will NOT explain Ron's own family situation to him afterwards (seriously Rowling I get that you think your readers are idiots with fish brains but UGH!), and... and you know what actually rewrite the effing series so Hermione actually has character growth and Ron actually gets a character arc that doesn't keep being postponed because you can't find better ways to introduce drama.

[asavt]

for the character ask game!!!! cheren & 9, 10, 11 and/or 21 :)

CATBOY.

9- What’s your favourite headcanon(s) for this character?

The thing I'm currently working on that is post-BW1?? I'm in love with it. Alder being kind of a father figure to Cheren and also one I thought about that is the rest of the gymleaders (from BW1) kind of checking on him every once in a while. They all care for this guy.

10- Who do you like to ship with this character? (If you do of course) Is it another character from the cast or is it an OC?

I said before how I headcanon Cheren as a bisexual disaster and that he has had a crush on all the unova gang version 1 (minus N of course) at one point. I actually really like those ships, I think they are all cute~

Then you have the one with Lear, which I gently hold in my hands and then dump it in a blender with a great amount of things that would probably make me throw rainbows or make me explode into dandelion fluff.

11- Who do you not like to ship with this character?

Once more, I will personally punch anyone in the face who ships the pdo ships, I will.

21- Wild card! Talk about anything to do with this character! Anything at all!

CATBOYCATBOYCATBOYCATBOYCATBOYCATBOYATBOYCATBOYCATBOYC--

I kind of?? Relate to him as well?? Like I do with Lear?? I'm not sure how exactly... but I feel like I've been there before. Maybe I still am. (Maybe in the sense that I am aware I wasn't exactly the kindness person around some years back and now I'm trying to be as gentle as posible)

Who the hell becomes a teacher at 16?????

[sodistinctlyhuman]

2, 3, 4, 17 ^_^

thank you thank you!! i am having Too much fun with these idk if you can tell aaah ^^

2. Favourite season

this one is very hard!!! i always seem to go back to s3 - it's got a lot of really sweet ray bradbury-esque short plots but with the perfect amount of buildup for the rest of the plot,,, chef's kiss

straight up though the dialogue in s6 so far??? it is unmatched. ive cried so much over this series and it's Great

3. Favourite "Resident of the Week"

OFFICER KLEIN OFFICER KLEIN i think abt u every day (ep. 36 - Dissonance)

this guy faced down an eldritch horror and died for it but he was so Composed despite the definite fear like all the respect my guy! i like how he kinda went yeah sure flamethrower good at sayer's suggestion he really left an impact <3

4. Favourite AI

pain. speaker-sayer-future are all soso compelling to me in vastly different ways. uhh for this one i will go with the eponymous guy

i really do talk about SAYER too much i think. but also SAYER is something that can be so personal to me like i would throw it all away for it to think im kinda cool. it's so funny like it's so full of itself but then it turns around when a resident is in peril and is like. yikes that was kind of wild don't you think? anyway good luck. it's hilarious. i want SAYER to experience good things i want it to be crushed under the weight of an intense emotional experience. i want to hold its proverbial hand i want to put it in a blender. incredible character. adam bash talks about SAYER's hallmark being that while it's morally questionable It Will Never Lie to You and it is transcendent character design. effervescent

17. Roadtrip with all the main characters! Who do you hand the aux cord to, who gets to drive, who brings the snacks, who's responsible for navigating?

ooh i did this once but i stuck in anna like she was a main character because i Can't Read

other than that though most of my points stay the same! observe

- SPEAKER is the navigator! speaker can drop incredibly lyrical turns of phrase but it knows how to get down to business and just give you what you need. also it is great at giving advance landmarks and turn warnings i am sure of this

- FUTURE is the DJ! what will it play???? no one knows it pivots between every single genre and it is whiplash every time. future goes from toxic by britney spears to maybe by the ink spots to tchaikovsky to nightcore and its delightful but also you are Not getting any sleep in this car

- SAYER is driving because it needs a humbling experience. yes. directly keep us all safe and get us to our location. experience the frustration of rush hour. my beloved. ilu

- Jacob can bring the snacks because i imagine he is pretty practical about portability while still retaining, like, taste. he does bring water and he also does bring pringles and beef jerky. but he also drops stuff by accident so either he needs a gyrobowl or we have to keep stopping to use the pay vacuums

cocktails / ginny weasley

Ginny my beloved <3 welcome to my being-so-gay-for-ginny-weasley blog 🥰💓

summary: your girlfriend comes home from quidditch practice to find you prancing around the kitchen, making cocktails.

word count: 2k

warning(s): kissing, alcohol, characters are in their 20s, fluffy

let me know what you think, comments and reblogs are very appreciated <3

♡

Ginny had just made her way home from a quidditch practice that had run on for almost five hours and it was safe to say that she was completely exhausted.

The red head couldn’t wait to get home to you. Although she loved and was extremely grateful for her (very successful) professional quidditch career, after the Saturday practice surpassed the three hour mark she’d been fantasising about throwing herself into your waiting arms and having a good moan about how tedious the day’s training had been.

It was strange really; the concept of having everything she wanted. The idea that she could go out to a job that she actually liked and that paid well and then come home to the person she loved most in the world, in a place that she felt genuinely comfortable. And yet everyday that’s what she was met with. She’d come hom from a strenuous day of training, completely worn out. And there you’d be; back from a long day’s work yourself, with the kettle already boiled with two cups ready and with fresh, warm towels folded for her in the bathroom, ready for her to dry herself with after she’d enjoyed her post-practice shower. Tonight was slightly different however.

Once Ginny had finally trudged through the doorway of your shared flat, she’d been met with your cheerful face grinning mischievously at her from the kitchen. Without wasting much time she kicked off her shoes and made her way into the kitchen, a single eyebrow raised in question.

“Welcome home!” You sang cheerily, prancing around the kitchen, picking up bottles and pouring copious amounts of the liquid into the blender that usually resided in the back of the bottom cupboard.

Ginny let out an airy laugh, “What’re you doing?” She asked monotonously, acting as if she wasn’t captivated by the way you seemed to float about the kitchen.

“Making cocktails.” You stated simply, turning to face her as you did so. There she stood, arms crossed below her chest and a knowing grin on her face- it was the grin she always wore when she knew she was about to tell you off for one thing or another. “And! Before your start-“ You began as you pulled her into your arms, “I made you an alcohol free one. So you can have one and still not break your ridiculous training... diet thingy.” You warned with a similar knowing look to her own, your arms were wound tightly around her waist, as her’s snaked around your shoulders and pulled you flush against her chest.

“So you can and you will have one, Ginerva.” Your voice was final and Ginny let out a short laugh, tucking a strand of your hair behind your ear and pulling your closer still.

“Mm. And what’s in this concoction, if I may ask?” With a sweet smile, you pressed a quick kiss to her lips before answering her.

“Cranberry juice, pineapple juice and orange juice.” You informed, placing another-longer, kiss to her lips; a kiss which she happily returned. Ginny’s lips moved fiercely against yours, pushing you against the counter until she pulled away from you, “How thoughtful.”

“Thought you might enjoy it. Y’know, after training all weekend.” You supplied as you shifted your gaze towards the kitchen tiles shyly, holding her securely nonetheless.

Before you could worry about whether or not she liked your plan for a cocktail night, her fingers were beneath your chin and gently turning it up so your pretty eyes could meet her’s. “I love it. I love you.” Ginny reassured you as she took your face in her hands and kissed you again. The faint taste of peach schnapps hitting her lips as she slid her steady hands down to grasp your hips, the sweetness let her know that you’d been making yourself a Sex on the Beach before she’d gotten home.

Truthfully, the regime that came with her career wasn’t always her favourite thing, but knowing that you would go out of your way to make sure she was included in your shenanigans, despite her strict diet plan, made her hate it a tiny bit less.

“Will you still love me tomorrow when I’m ridiculously hungover?” She laughed at the question and squeezed your hips softly.

“Of course,” she stated, accentuating the statement by pressing a soft kiss against your forehead, “And, I’ll still love you later tonight when you drag me up and force me to dance with you,” her lips pressed against your right cheek. “And, when you start giggling like a lunatic,” Her lips moved to your left cheek and you couldn’t stop the dopey smile that grew upon your lips when she went on, “And, in a shocking turn of events, I’ll still be completely and amazingly in love with you when I’m holding your hair back while you’re getting sick.” Finally, her lips found yours again.

Your hands cupped her cheeks as she slipped her tongue into your mouth, moving it perfectly against yours and letting out a satisfied hum when you tilted your head into the kiss. After a few minutes, the two of you reluctantly separated, Ginny chased your lips with a number of short kisses before releasing you from her grasp.

“I love you too, even when you stink of sweat.” You said, scrunching your nose up to tease her further, you went on, “Like you do right now.”

Your girlfriend rolled her eyes and reached her hand up to pinch your flushed cheek, “Oi.”

Swatting her hand away lightly, you turned around and continued fixing up the drinks that had been momentarily abandoned on the kitchen counter.

“Go take a shower, love. You’ve been training all day and your pretend cocktail will taste better after you unwind.” You told her, throwing a handful of ice into the blender.

Ginny watched you fondly as you began to hum the tune to whatever song had just popped into your head. She let out a quiet laugh before nodding her head softly and padding into the bathroom, “See you in a few minutes.”

When she entered the bathroom she noticed that her towel was already hung neatly from the heated rail on the wall and that a fresh pair of pyjama shorts and her favourite t-shirt (which she’d stolen from you) was folded on the lid of the laundry hamper, a bright yellow post-it note rested on top of the t-shirt Ginny had claimed as her own after the first time the two of you had spent the night together two years ago. With a grin, Ginny peeled the note off the material and quickly read the note you’d scribbled for her. Regardless of what was on the note, the sight of your messy scrawl across the paper was enough to bring a smile to her lips.

‘the longer you take to shower the drunker i’ll be when you come back! so don’t keep me waiting ;) xoxo

p.s. i love you <3

p.p.s. use your own conditioner, moocher.’

Ginny snorted at your last comment. She did have a tendency to favour your conditioner over her own, it was coconut scented and reminded her of you, plus, there was the added bonus that it made her hair silkier than her’s did. But one thing Ginny would admit was that she did not use hair products sparingly, if her entire head wasn’t lathered in bubbles then she wasn’t using enough.

A smirk creeped onto her lips when she eventually stepped into the shower, her eyes sparkled with mischief when they landed on your conditioner. She inspected the bottle, it was half full. Ginny nodded happily to herself, she was definitely not using her own conditioner. After a few minutes, the red head head was stepping out of the shower and getting dressed into the clothes you’d laid out.

When Ginny finally sauntered back into the kitchen you were sat on the kitchen counter, cocktail in one hand and a CD case in the other, there was music playing from the old radio on the windowsill and you didn’t even lift your eyes from the CD case when you grumbled, “I can smell coconut from here, Ginerva.”

Ginny only shrugged and inserted her body between your legs, her hands sliding up your thighs before wrapping them loosely around your waist as she looked up at you with an unapologetic grin, “You can’t blame me, love. The smell of it reminds me of you.”

You let out a soft sigh, tossing the CD case onto the counter and placing your glass down too, you let your legs wrap around her waist and brought both of your hands up and threaded them through her damp hair. Ginny stared at you adoringly as you let yourself cling to her. It was the moments like these that she loved the most, when she could just hold you and take in your face, when she could simply enjoy the feeling of your fingers massaging her scalp and your legs holding her snugly against your warm body. She absolutely lives for the moments when it was just her and the woman she loved, moments like now.

“How was work today?” Ginny asked softly, her hands now running soothingly up and down your back. You let out a groan, dropping your head into the crook of her neck.

“Long. Those brothers of yours are nightmares.” You complained. You’d been working for Fred and George Weasley at their joke shop for just over two year and you loved it and the twins, however sometimes the two could be extremely hard work. That’s not to say you didn’t adore your job, because you did, it’s where you’d met Ginny in the first place. But as the twins’ most trusted employee, the pair of them sometimes relied on you to control their chaos. Today’s shift had been one of those times and to put it simply, you’d come home needing a drink.

Ginny let out a knowing sigh of her own before she pressed a kiss to the crown of your head, “I know, love. What was it today?”

You pulled your head back to look at her again, a pout on your lips that had Ginny itching to kiss it away, “George said he’d been working on a potion that could change the colour of pygmy puffs and so he insisted we try it, so, of course since I’m the only one who doesn’t harass the poor little things I had to feed them the concoction!” You explained, picking up your drink and taking a long sip before you went on, “And shockingly, it ended up not changing their fur but made them shrink! And Fred thought it was just the funniest thing he’d ever seen in his entire life but they were so small that they were slipping through the bars of their cages! I spent three hours hunting down teeny tiny pygmy puffs!” Ginny gave you a sympathetic look, she was biting back a smile however, she could imagine the scene in her head and she had to agree with Fred; it did seem quite funny.

“Go ahead and laugh, Gins. You and those twins are way too similar.” With that Ginny let out a barking laugh, her head falling against your chest as she struggled to catch her breath through her joyous laughs. Even if her laughter was at your expense, you could’ve listened to the sound forever.

Ginny pulled herself together after another moment and you rolled your eyes as she wiped away the tears from her own, “Oh hush, it wasn’t that funny.”

“Sorry, love. But it is. It is that funny.” She began to giggle again and you scrunched your nose in distaste, grabbing the mocktail you’d made for her and pressed the glass against her chest,

“Just be quiet and drink your juice.”

🎤 for jaskier and 🔊 for until dawn 😗

for jaskier: i was gonna say "YOU NEED A NAP!" because DELIVERY OF DELIVERIES but. Realistically the entire bathtub scene is tattooed on my braini've watched it 5000 times but how the fuck am i supposed to pick between "it is one night bodyguarding your very best friend in the whole wide world how hard could it be" AND "oh you usually just let strangers rub chamomile onto your lovely bottom?" AND that DIRK GENTLY ass line "you never get involved... except you actually do, all of the time" like ok encapsulate geralts whole character and moral stance king!! but NONE of those wonderful lines stand up to 'the last thing i want is someone needing me' and jaskiers soft "and yet... here we are" COME ON. COME ONNN. okay but ALsO all his lines in posada iconic scenes iconic dialogue and also "I'm just trying to work out what pleases me". Hey can i just answer literally every word that leaves joey bateys gay little mouth on screen as my favourite jaskier line. What was the question

for until dawn: my brain since 2015 has just been an awful little cocktail of understand the palm of my hand bitch you couldn't buy a moldy loaf of bread with your skanky ass LEAVE IT TO THE PROS BROS you just got monked My bag we forgot my bag whats up party people party like we're fucking pornstars MICHAEL AND I ARE GOING TO FUCK theres more to this guy than being a lean mean luggage lifting machine it was just a PRANK HAN you're going to shoot me mike me hook line and sinker for Every Little Stinker BOOM BUTTERFLY EFFECT You sure you werent at a truck stop I'm bad I'm a badass oh my god we're sooo totally gonna make out funny you should have your own show hey did you see that dad said it would just be us this weekend

so... if you throw that in a blender, thatd be the most iconic voice acting performance i think

[absent-o-minded]

SHADOW AND BONE SPOILERS

I binged the show yesterday in two sittings (Eps 1-5 in one, Eps 6-8 in the other) and I thought that I'd make a list of some of my favourite moments/lines throughout the series. (This is going off of memory as I haven't done a rewatch yet, so I'm sorry if some quotes aren't word for word.) Part 1?

- Milo The Goat being the Main Character for 10 minutes straight

- "She's not like you. No one is." I wasn't expecting to get fucking whipped so hard so early by Kanej but ThErE We gO

- The entire scene of Kaz dressing up as a painter just to get a look at the blueprints to the Archive Library because...why not?

- Alina and Mal being cutie patooties in the Camp before shit hit the fan.

- An underappreciated moment: When Mal said that Alina "looked healthy" and him smiling at the fact that she had developed an apetite from using her powers. I thought that it was a very tender moment.

- Ben Barnes as the Darkling having soldiers make room for him to walk because he is THAT BITCH.

- Mikael and Dubrov! It's always a good ol' adrenaline kick when a TV Show takes your love for two minor characters and shoves it in the blender right before your very eyes...Thank-Thanks Shadow and Bone.

- "Your tracker friend liked it when I put him on his back too." Even my face felt the burn of Zoya and I knew that it didn't even happen.

- The Crows in general were immaculate. Everything from the representation of Inej's religious standpoint (which I thought was done incredibly well) to Kaz being an emo boy (...she said see ya' later boy...) to Jesper going "Bang bang bullet bullet gun!"

- Jespers fucking lines, with some special mentions but not limited to: "...He threw a book at me?..." "I'M NOT THROWING OUT THE GOAT...so soft." "(*Insert Screaming*)" "I lost a little bit of money...I lost all of the money." "Of course, love." "I know. I'd miss me too. I'm fantastic."

- Alina's powers were beautiful (Mega props to CGI). Imagine having the power of being a literal ray of sunshine and then playing a character who has the power to summon literal rays of sunshine? That's Jessie Mei Li.

- The wholesomeness of the Inej and Jesper scene where Inej is trying to stitch her self up and there is a mutual understanding of her position of going back and Jesper inadvertently says that he values her.

- "My Crows." UHHHHNNNNNGGGG

- Genya saying that the Queen has saggy tits had me rolling.

- SPeakIng of GeNYA, Genya and David. The small snippets we got of the two are enough to last me lifeti-yeah, no, about two weeks, I love them both so much, please gimme.

- "You don't have to put-" *sigh* "Yes, David?" PFFF.

- Helnik in the Whaler's hut. I cannot pinpoint one particular thing. Wholesome.

- The build up of the Darkling x Kaz confrontation over the few weeks leading up to the Shows Premiere, the plethora of theories that involved Cane Whacking and Shadow Summoning and Insult Throwing and Fashion Copyrighting, and what did we get? The peak humour that was Kaz fucking throwing down a flash bomb and dissapearing like my perception of time and space after sitting in the dark for 5 hours watching the show. I do not know why I expected anything less, that scene was beautiful.

- The bit where Alina directly put her hands over the mans eyes and radiated her light directly onto his eyeballs? It was brief and swift but I found that so cool.

- As a Film Student, I can just really appreciate the overall aestheticism of the series. They managed to encapsulate both the quintessential elements (The setting/locations, The Score, Costume Design etc) and as well as the more meticulous, intricate details (Again with Kefta details, but also with Characterisation, Prop Design of the Crow Club) and so much more. The essence of the world that Leigh Bardugo has built was captured as if it had been plucked straight from my mind and I revelled in it for those 8 hours.

There are so many moments that I have missed or have not spoken about but I'll end that here as its been quite long, but this series was utterly beautiful, and all of those involved: The incredible Cast, the most talented of Cinematogrophers, Designers, Camera Workers, Writers, Hair and Make-Up Staff, truly to every single person involed - Thank you so much <3

(Also - Please feel free to add anything in the comments, or message me if you want to talk about the show. I'm debating whether to do a more consice review, but we'll see how lazy I'm feeling tbh. Take care everyone <3 )

“Like I was a threat,” Rita said. “Their eyes narrowed for a second and I knew. I know it’s silly, but I knew what they were thinking: ‘Here’s a threat to our daughter.’ And the worst part is I’m afraid of it being true.” --- Silk Moth (in Undercities: an anthology) by Xian Mao

(Highly recommend picking up Undercities if you’re into queer magic realism! It’s through an indie publisher though, so it might be hard to find. :c)

38. put your playlist on shuffle and list the first four songs that pop up:

I... don’t have a playlist. I just usually search for whatever I want to hear in that point in time. >_>

Would you mind writing 46 and 47 for Jackson? For the drabble thing

46: “ Can I kiss you right now? ”

47: “ You’re cute when you’re angry.  ”

Character : Jackson x oc

Word counts : 545

Yes anon I don't mind. Thank you for sending me your request! And I really have fun writing this because I can actually imagine y/n getting angry and Jackson just stare and suddenly want to kiss her. I hope you enjoy this!

xxxxxxx

You are angry.

No, scratch that. You are fuming.

Dating one of GOT7 members means you should be prepared with countless of their pranks, especially the maknae line. You've been trapped in various kind of scenes where Yugyeom and Bambam are usually the mastermind behind those pranks. They don't really go too far with pranks because Jackson will kill them, but when the mastermind is Jaebum, what can Jackson do with it?

Jackson knew they are going to prank you which is why he stayed out of the case, knowing that Jaebum is not going easy on you. You were involved in pranking him for his birthday and honestly, you deserved a payback. None of GOT7 dare to play Jaebum that bad, hence Jackson cannot refuse when Jaebum proposed the payback plan.

"And they ruined my favourite dress!" you pull your hairs, looking like a mad woman. "My make up kits?? Jaebum smashed that against the wall!"

Jackson stares silently at you, predicting your next move. You're standing and parading around the room while he is sitting practically 2 meters from you. Of course he's your boyfriend but that does not mean you won't throw anything in his direction. So before he has his head bleeding, might as well be careful.

"Really??" he responds with the same energy you are in, riling you up even more.

"YESS!" he chuckles as you throw your arm in the air, your anger has risen to the top. "He know that is my most prized possession! How dare him!!"

"OOhhh ooohhh AND!" Jackson leans in, anticipating your tea. He loves when you are excited to tell him things, he thinks you are cute even when you are angry. "Jaebum cuts MY BEAUTY BLENDER."

"You remember? That one where I begged you to buy it for me?"

By now, Jackson isn't focus on what you are talking about, rather interested in your angry state. Your hair is messy, your face is flushed red and your chubby cheeks are out. He scans you carefully, adoration is written everywhere on his face.

"Are you even listening to me?"

"Can I kiss you right now?"

"What-" is all you manage to say before he leans in to press a kiss on your lips and immediately pulls away.

"Okay now continue." he grins, settling down on his chair again.

"What is that for??" you whine. "I'm angry now Jackson and I'm ranting and you suddenly kiss me? For what?"

Jackson smiles, watching you de-stress yourself because of his kiss. “You’re cute when you’re angry.”"

I'm what?" you feel embarrassment rushes through your veins.

"Forget it. Just continue. What were you saying?"

When he remind you, your embarrassment is replaced by the anger again. "Jaebum cuts my beauty blender. Do you remember? That one I begged you?"

Jackson stops to remember which beauty blender you were talking about. When he finally remembers it, he shouts in actual shock. "That expensive ass beauty blender? That looks like an egg?"

"Yes!" you cry in regret. Jackson shrieks with the same regret, except for he need to buy another one for you.

'Damn Jaebum, that one costs my ass to pay.' he mentally scold Jaebum in his mind, not that he can do it in person anyways.

xxxxxx

Send me a number and a member and I'll write you a drabble.
