#ANYWAY the grey's writer

[cinematicnomad]

watching the docuseries about that grey's anatomy writer who faked having cancer and a bunch of other insane lies and it is WILD and unbelievable and i cannot wrap my brain around the fact that anyone would do this, but also, apparently she was the one who wrote alex karev's goodbye ep and so now i'm like. raising my hand, i too feel personally victimized by regina george 😂

Another blog noticed that Megumis scars are on the same position as Heian!Sukuna. And it's true! By that logic he should have scars under his armpits and on his belly (second arms and second mouth). You drawing it would be interesting

shoutout 2 megumi for making up fr all of yuuji's scars i no longer get to draw

We should talk more about the fact Jason got swarmed and attacked by a mob as Robin, like??? Hello. He had to be left there because the mob was too violent with Batman near. He had to be taken to the hospital.

Look at those injuries!!

The next time we see him he's forcing himself out of bed and putting on the Robin costume thinking "I've gotta do what I can to help, even if it kills me!"

The next next time we see him he has walked into yet another violent mob

I cannot stop thinking about this story and the effects it probably had on him honestly. Do you think it's made him nervous in crowds, do you think it made him trust others just that bit less. How long do you think he was being attacked before he was found, the scene had cleared. "I've gotta do what I can to help, even if it kills me!",,,,

Just the concept itself! I don't know about you guys but being attacked and grabbed and trampled into unconsciousness sounds absolutely terrifying! Did he black out, still getting hit, thinking he was going to die? Knowing he couldn't defend himself as his injuries to took their toll? At their complete mercy?

1986-87 Legends, issue #2 (the attack), #3 (the hospital), #5 (getting up), #6 (defending heros from another forming mob)

2010 DC Universe: Legacies, issue #6 (flashback panel to Legends moment)

Apparently in my absence this post had its 1000-notes-iversary.

This time we get to see the culprit responsible for ruining our heroes' lives as well.

I've really missed you guys, by the way. I know I've said that already, but I'm serious. Once or twice this year I've been right on the brink of coming back but schedule stuff always keeps me from letting myself commit to that again, and that in turn has kept me from posting anything at all. But I've been in an unexpected drawing mood lately and so if I can get enough stuff to set up a queue we might pretend I'm back for a month or so sometime this year. Maybe. Hopefully. We'll see. No promises though. That's why I'm hiding this paragraph under the cut.

@transistorized gets a little dragon age with the most vague of setting

❝ Why is it, every time we have to work together, we end up in the most blight ridden, undead crawling of places? ❞ Oh, he was going to make Tony regret being born today with the level of complaints he had. He was a criminal then a treasure hunter. Yet for some reason, because he shoots better than anyone in all of the Southern and Northern lands, he ended up contracted by whackos trying to save all of Thedas. ❝ You couldn't have taken me somewhere sunny and nice, like a beach? It always has to be the wettest and smellest of marshlands? Is for robbing your coffers? I paid you back... ❞ Three years later... that's besides the point, though he had never apologized but it feels too late for that. You apologize for borrowing your neighbor's cow without permission, not for robbery.

It's been a while since I last thought seriously about Dr*gon A*e (even prior to falling in love with BG3) and I think a big part of that is I'm not as big a fan of the setting and the worldbuilding as I used to be. Like to me it really does feel like BW looked at typical fantasy settings and went "hmm okay but what if there was Catholic-enforced racism and abelism". And like. Cool thought experiment bro. Do we really need three games made by primarily white guys about that.

yknow. sometimes when i see anti posts i just sit here and think ‘damn. you would not have gotten Jennifer’s Body’

[ghost-bard]

HELLOOO

i bring a dao fic, featuring my two wardens, emile cousland and athima surana, in a double warden au :)

not an original idea, but its fun so ill write for it when i have ideas.

Recruitment goes through the Cousland origin, and is primarily from Emile's perspective as Athima has already been recruited at this point, and this is the last stop before heading to ostagar.

Hi!!! should I watch Lost since it’s on Netflix or is it like your SPN show? thanks!

MY show? 😭😭😭😭😭 pls girl don’t start with me

okay so i enjoyed and had a great time watching lost. lost gave me characters like desmond hume and juliet burke. hello… here is what i would say:

lost = good show sometimes plagued with bad writing with an audience too fucking stupid to understand it…ugh

spn = bad show where there was *sometimes* some *completely fucking accidental* good writing with an audience simultaneously too smart and way too fucking stupid for it. usually too stupid. it’s fucking bad okay!

Describing Charles' smile as "He smiles like spring is coming" because his character is linked to nature. Describing William like "He was the ocean---beautiful and dangerous" because he lives for the ocean. Describing Emery like "Her grey, stormy eyes" because she's always talking about storms and tornadoes. Describing Mateo like "Whenever he talked about what he loved, it was like finding a spot of sunlight in the dark Forest" because Mateo does light magic

happy 20th birthday to me <3 hard to believe that eight years ago for christmas i got my first gaming computer to play inquisition!! lagged so bad during combat and crashed when i tried to enter the undercroft for the first time lol. don't mind me being weepy, dragon age just happens to be the first ever rpg series i played and i wouldn't be pursuing video game writing alongside tv writing in my screenwriting major if not for that!

[obessivedork]

TBH as a writer appreciating the set-up of a character I ADORE Vivienne but her lack of proper character arc & the inability to argue with her more is as infuriating as with most of your companions in DAI, if not more when you play a Mage because you CAN’T grab her by the shoulders and shake her and say Ma’am if you’d had worse luck and wound up literally anywhere other than the Circle you did wind up at you would be a fundamentally different person please for Maker’s sake admit out loud that you only like the Circles because you managed to etch yourself some limited social power out of the broken and corrupt system you might not otherwise have been able to get for yourself and therefore you have not suffered the true effects of it!!!!

long ahh RC au post

Alrighty so attempting to write an outline for RC au now, hopefully it doesn’t sound too sleeby deeby cringefail *note: this is the general outline, it doesn’t include any small misc lore details, however misc small lore details will be provided if i am asked about it/ will be necessary for later contextualization of other lore. intro/general notes: -so this au basically started as a question of “what if UI got the rot instead of pebbles” -i am mainly focusing on UI and GW (and trying to come up with lore for these sillies), the rest of the iterators will mainly not change much and will stick to the cannon pre-SpearMaster campaign lore (basically keep the triple affirmative events and related characters mainly the same as cannon, this includes the local group too as to some extent they are involved with trying to research what happened to SoS and how she ascended) -as mentioned in previous note; this au takes place before SpearMaster’s campaign. -a lot of this au is me trying to make lore for UI (and GW too, but mainly UI), so i am not exactly sure if it is close to the tiny hint of cannon lore we see for UI, however if there will be more updates about UI’s cannon lore, then i will rewrite some parts of this au. -also misc note that i do not know where to put anywhere else. I guess in the beginning of the au’s storyline, UI is on good terms with the local group, however does really annoy their local group sometimes. -oh!!! The triple affirmative had JUST been broadcasted, only about 100-500 cycles ago! (also misc note that i do not know where to put)

storyline: -So this kind of begins with UI trying to find something to do, they’re VERY bored, especially now that everyone has basically abandoned all work to go theorize about SoS’s triple affirmative. Honestly they’re not too interested in the triple affirmative themselves, however they do like to find ‘so bad its funny’ theories, best place to go for these is anti-sliverist groups. -Basically off they went being a nosy little prick, saw two iterators exchanging a theory document, secretly intercepted the exchange to check what this document had. Honestly it wasn’t so bad its funny, but it also wasn’t good either. They just went back to work. -Well guess who realized that they had lost access to A THIRD OF THEIR SYSTEMS (of course it was UI smh shouldn’t have been nosy!), after more inspecting they realize it is malware, not the harmful type but probably annoying to deal with. -And annoying to deal with. They had tried multiple ways to get rid of the malware but none of them worked, they resorted to attempting to rewrite the genomes of their neurons to forcefully kick the malware out of their systems, this is a pretty risky way of getting rid of malware (especially since rewriting or editing genomes is taboo, so you’d have to find a way to bypass the restriction in the code to be able to do this. One wrong move and you’re probably not gonna be doing so good) -Did they get rid of the malware? Yes! Did they also create another new problem for themselves? Also yes! They created the rot :( -They panic for a bit, try to get the rot off but fail miserably. Around this time GW gets rather concerned for UI and tries to ask them if they’re doing alright, however get no answer back. Some others from the local group also try to see what happened to UI, pebbles being their closest neighbor tries to send his overseers to their can after also trying to contact them and failing. He didn’t think it was this bad at first, sometimes UI just pulled silly pranks on the group so he assumed this was another prank gone wrong, however he discovers that they have the rot after sending overseers to their can. He is met with the option of keeping quiet about it (probably what he would’ve wanted too if he was in their situation), or tell the local group to at least get them to stop being so worried (little does he know if he tells the local group the panic will only get worse). -Well uhm!!!! THIS IS REALLY NOT GOOD FOR UI!!!!! THEY HAVE NOTICED PEBBLES’ OVERSEER AT THEIR CAN, AND DESPITE DESTROYING IT, IT DOESN’T ERASE THE FACT THAT HE NOW KNOWS ABOUT THIS TOO. they frantically contact him, asking him not to share this with the rest of the local group so as to not get them even more worried. Pebbles agrees to keeping quiet AS LONG as it doesn’t get worse, however if it does get worse then he will have to do something to help them (as much as they both dislike this. UI doesn’t want the local group knowing (especially GW) about their condition, and pebbles doesn’t wish to put up with UI’s shenanigans since they can get real annoying sometimes) -So far this is where the story leaves off, i will be giving updates about this au once i come up with more lore! So so sorry if this is hard to read or written badly, it is almost midnight! Do please tell me if I made some mistakes here so I can go back and fix them!

What is your opinion on Shonda Rhimes as a writer like are you a fan of her work? What are your thoughts?

I like her overall. Funnily enough, I actually did a TV writing workshop last year and we read a few pilots in it including the Grey's Anatomy one, and honestly, that is a perfect hour of TV. The bible she created for the first season is also often used as a reference point in TV writing workshops because of how good it is too.

I think it's pretty impossible to deny her instincts when it comes to what makes compulsive TV. Even putting her own writing aside, shows she's produced like How to Get Away with Murder, Inventing Anna and, of course, Bridgerton, have all entered the pop culture zeitgeist in a way that frankly demonstrates that. I think other writers and producers would kill to have the runs on the board that she does, and I think that shows a real skill and intuitiveness on her part as both a creative person and as a strategic businesswoman.

Her writing itself though I do find varies pretty broadly. Inventing Anna was, I thought, a disaster both in the episode she wrote and the overall pacing and story, which reflects on her as showrunner (a bummer too, because I'd read the article literally the day in was released and was hyped for an adaptation!), but I thought the episodes she wrote for Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story really showed her strength in getting to the heart of a relationship and her ability to deliver affecting stories in even the soapiest settings.

So yeah, I guess I'd say my opinion of her writing varies project to project, but I respect her position in the industry and have a lot of admiration for what she's built.
