#Dez Stuff

[sauntervaguelydown]

There’s this thing that happens when you have a fandom for a comedy show, especially a comedy that’s kind of elevated from reality in some respect, which is—even when the fic writer is meticulous about referencing canon, the characters will be written as reacting to situations (emotional stress, especially) in a more weighted, serious way. Drama has higher stakes, interiority draws out traumas that canon would have glided over for a laugh. And if you do that enough times, the differences start to pile up, until you’re reading about characters who have the texture of completely separate people even though they share the same lives. They become ooc, because the rule of the narrative pulls them out of shape, like the Amigara Fault. Psychologists say that solitary confinement drives people insane because our identities are reliant on perceiving and being perceived. To be anyone, we are constantly pressing ourselves against other people, and in a vacuum, we fall apart. Characters in fiction do this against narrative—they are like liquid that shifts to fill the container that it is put in. The type of story changes the character.

This probably doesn't count but Pyro/Scout? Or Demo/Sniper (I love my boys)

I’ll get you that Swordvan later but I kinda got carried away with this one so have this lovely bit of Flash Fire! Scout may talk enough for the both of them but Pyro certainly has some stuff to say as well. Click for better resolution

My PJO character, Dez, was born into an abusive household. My concept for her was that her mother(Roxanne) finally got fed up with Dez getting constantly injured by monsters. Roxanne’s mind just can’t fathom why. And she hated it, because Dez’s grandparents asked questions Roxanne couldn’t answer. Although they rarely visit, sometimes Dez has scars and/or wounds when they come over. Both from Roxanne and the Monsters.

So… Roxanne finally decides to take Dez away from there and drop her off at Camp Half-Blood. Because I can totally see Dez’s godly parent doing that, telling the mortal parent that it’s best to bring them earlier on. Because keeping them close is how they get killed. But Roxanne doesn’t care. I’m totally unbothered by traumatizing my own OCs. That’s probably not a good thing, but whatever. 🫠

Anyways, I felt like it’s a rather unrealistic idea to just have Roxanne drive from the UK to New York to ditch 5-year-old Dez at Camp Half-Blood. Honestly, what’s she gonna do? I’m not good with kids so I don’t know how a 5-year-old would react to that, or what to do.

I am absolutely lost with this. Apparently I’m not made for story writing lol.

You could always pull a Poseidon and give Dez a magical item that can transport him.

Or stick him on a plane and have his mom say something like: “Hopefully, he won’t blow you out of the sky…There’s no lay-over, he surely wouldn’t mind the 12 hour trip”

D: “What?”

R: “Nothing, get out your passport”

Or pull a Prizoner of Azkaban and have the grey sisters rock up in their lil taxi cab? They’re always delightful lol

Or have Dez omit it. Percy Jackson does this all the time. He’ll say something like “and then something horrific happened so I had to look away so I don’t have to explain it to you uwu” and “I don’t even know how I got from point a to b It was a blur”

It’s fantasy— it doesn’t have to make total sense if the characters either acknowledge that “hey, this is crazy magic is wild” or have them be completely cool with it lol

You’re stewing over a small problem in your story. I think that’s the universal experience of storywriting. When in doubt ask:

What would be the funniest thing that could happen?

What would my MC hate the absolute most?

What would be the most unlikely possibility ?

If Steve and Cesare are married where are the rings in your art?

WERE ARE THEY??

my mouth went AGAPE with this message. i cannot believe... the slander. [ i am joshing joking and kidding with you this is so silly ]

[townesorsomething]

a couple beloveds! i actually started putting together what i thought bertbert looked like BEFORE getting to the line about sygians not being fish people, but i was just too attached to how i had been envisioning her, so now you get anglerfish light bertiluna ok? ok. glad we’re on the same page.

also, shout out to my partners ( @ashbyyyrose + @the-murder ) for this one! ashby has been taking notes on the different species in the midnight-burger-verse, which was helpful, and crow has been having Very Academic Debates with me about headcanons for Truskan society (especially how gender vs sex works for them) and also about which of our interpretations for how they look is right (he thinks they’re bug critters which is fun too, but i’m stuck on them looking kind of like the aandrisks from the Wayfarers novel series <- if you like MB you should read those)

[bloodanddiscoballs]

Idk if your still accepting the rare pair ship requests and i was wondering sniper x admin (: its neat and fun.

Hooooo boy I kinda went ham on this one. I really like this ship cause of the energy of it. @aprofessionalwithoutstandards and I started talking about these two cause he is of the same opinion as I am that Sniper and Admin have gotten married and divorced a bajillion times cause that’s part of their foreplay basically. BIIIIIIG divorced energy. They pick at each other but also have and will kill for one another. She calls him up to see her when he performs excellently in battle for a “bonus” and also calls him to her when he’s done poorly for his “review”. They have wild sex but never mention it because it would be unprofessional. Also no one’s business. To quote Mick cause she’s right; “girlboss and malewife etc etc as the kids say”. They hate each other they love each other. It’s a whole thing.
