Crash!Series:

Part One: Test Flight

Manny’s reading through the after action reports in his office when the shit hits the fan. He has the radio resting on the edge of his desk, tuned to the SAR frequency and he’s smiling because you, you’re having a great time out there putting that new chopper through it’s paces. He can hear the joy in your voice, the excitement and it sends a deviant little thrill coursing through his body because he knows you’re going to come home a little wild tonight.

It's thirty minutes in the excursion that you start to have trouble, Manny’s detects your change in tone, there’s a calmness that only comes when you’re in the midst of a crisis.

“I’m passing over lake.” You report. “The engine’s starting to stutter and the console is getting hot. I’m going to try and set her down on the shore, have a mechanic standing by because I don’t think we’re going…”

The radio cuts out then and something wrenches in Manny’s chest because he knows the stats. If you go down in the lake, your chances of survival reduce significantly.

Helicopters roll when they hit the water, the pressure jams the doors as the vehicle starts to sink. There’s very narrow window for escape and that’s usually thwarted by the seatbelt jamming, precious seconds are usually lost trying to fight with the mechanism as the cold water crashes into you.

When he makes it onto the scene with Three Rock, his heart is in his throat. He’s tried to compartmentalise on the way over here, tried to pretend it isn’t you, that it’s just a routine call but when he sees that helicopter upside down in the lake sinking, the anguish hits him like a freight train. It’s like he can’t fucking breathe.

Vince is already taking control of the situation, he has divers in the water, the rest of his crew searching the reeds in the slim chance you did make it out of the chopper. Three Rock join them, spreading out into the woods.

Manny doesn’t stray too far, he’s waiting for Jake to come out of the water, to give him the bad news. When he sees him break the surface, Manny feels the blood rush out of his body, he can’t think, he can’t feel, he can only watch as Jake shakes his head.

You’re not in there.

“The windows broken and the seat belt’s been sliced through.” He tells Manny and Vince once he gets back onto land.

“She’s a strong swimmer, depending on her injuries there’s a chance she could have made it to the shore.” Vince says, his hand squeezing Manny’s shoulder.

It’s Bode that picks up your trail, there’s an embankment on the opposite of the lake that leads back into the dense forest. It appears you’d managed to drag yourself up onto it before vanishing into the trees.

“Luce is smart.” Manny tells Vince and Bode. “She’ll be trying to make it to higher ground so she can get the lay of the land.”

“It’s going to be dark soon, in those wet clothes she’ll be hypothermic before nightfall.” Vince says as he studies the blood that’s smeared across the vegetation. “She’s clearly injured, we’re going to need the Med Team on standby with blankets and heat pads.”

It takes them over an hour to find you and when they do, Manny thinks you’re dead already. Your skin is pale, your uniform drenched in blood. Your left arm is broken, he can see the bone sticking out of the skin under the sleeve of your fleece.

“Come on baby.” He whispers, his eyes stinging as Eve and Fern go to work on you. “Come on Lucy, you can’t leave me yet.”

[addynosketchpad]

Every BFDI AU i have i think

Regular AU - all of my art is set in regular au because it's just bfdi if my hcs were canon,,,so nothing really changes except for stuff like "Tennis Ball crushes on Golf Ball" and "Black Hole loves bugs" heheh,,,

Random Fire AU - a random fire kills a bunch of people and scatters the rest. Lightning is the protagonist, he's with Bubble looking for the other surviving iance members. Black Hole is the antagonist, he's got Tree, Remote, Pie and Liy stuck in his orbit and won't let them go, he threatened to kill Lightning if he ever lets Bubble die. he also forced Tree to watch Bottle die in the fire and now is trying to kill Pen and Pillow for "betraying the PACT". hypocrite. also Eraser has amnesia and is looking for "two close friends and an ally" but literally has no clue who they are

Candy AU - tree eats too much sugar, turns pink, is now basically a miserable candy zombie, he gave fanny candy and it spread from there. there's four types of infection: you're happy and bubble and energetic, you're sick to your stomach and miserable, you're just yourself with an oreo craving, or you're creepily addicted and stuck smiling.

Villain AU - oh no!! tennis ball is stuck in an alternate dimension!! what's worse? everyone is a comic villain!! anyway tb is the protagonist, his arm got blown off lol, he's trying not to turn into doctor tuberculosis which is this world's version of him that he kinda merged with when he got here...bomby is uhhh deuteragonist?? is that right? and blocky and woody are there too!! yellow face is probably gonna be a major antagonist lol

Execution AU - gijinka specific. basically tpot but two is freakin horrible and every elimination = danganronpa style execution. fries is forced to take a deep-fried breath, clock is locked in a room for months, and remote is electrocuted on puppet strings. this changes things, for example Black Hole is much more willing to kill if it means his friends aren't at risk of execution

Bigender Eraser AU - eraser is bigender. nothing changes. that's literally all it is

Fully Human AU - hey guys!! remember when Kai won uhh a spelling bee in seventh grade? i don't think anyone but Fern remembers. she was MAD mad lol. anyway who wants to watch another Steve Crowdcube vid? oh yeah, that's Gabby and TJ. they skipped a couple grades. Javin's got a girlfriend? hello Tiffany! can i call ya Tiff? no? ok! There's rumors that Ace is gay,,,i wonder if Cade started it for a prank...heh. Atlas is at college studying entomology! and his best friend Rowan is studying botany! Rowan's always been interested in botany,,,uhh David's visiting his best friend Tobias in the hospital... sure hope he's doin alright...what else is there to say here.

evil puffries AU - puffries but they're a masochist and sadist as opposed to sadist and sadist. made specifically because i wanted fries to shoot an alternate version of himself i don't even know what this au looks like outside of getting beat up by their normal counterparts and why would i even want to. disgusting

Project Sekai AU - project sekai if it was four twenty-year-old dudes and an Eraser hologram. fries is ichika and tree is saki and snowball is honami and donut is shiho because.

Fankids AU - Wafers, Moldy Poptart, and Poison Ivy go around digging holes because they wanna excavate stuff. Puffries, Donutbag and Fantree. and they're all kinda 'my friend's cool mom and dad' because all of them are cool. tree is the only one who said no his child can't hit her friends. Gelatin is Moldy's cool big brother. Black Hole is Ivy's cool big brother and the other's source of nightmare fuel.

Wrong AU - Bennis Tall i love you. Bennis Tall eats microscopes and is incredibly stupid but also pure of heart. Frice is a cutie happy lil silly who loves everyone. Twee is very silly as well but doesn't really make friends because he keeps killing people. Woddy is violent and not scared of anything and is constantly threatening people under his breath.

Stereotyped AU - Tree is some sort of yoga guy. Pie is a sweetheart baker who has a crush on him and is always bringing him something tasty. Basketball is a jock and Eraser is a nerd. Fries is a fat slob. Lightning's an energetic maniac. Ruby is the snootiest little lady you ever did see. Grassy is tiny but envious and hates being underestimated.

Gijinka'd AU - basically regular au but it's how it'd work if it was gijinka'd. arm-havers get cartoon physics. armless guys have to adhere to real-world physics. an arm-haver, no matter how weak. can lift their friend easily. an armless guy needs to work for that strength (Puffball has). Pen and Marker's hair is made of ink. Snowball can become snow if you shove him hard enough. Cake is edible. Fries' hair snaps off and he vomits mashed potatoes.

Fully Human TB AU - BFDI if tennis ball was never a contestant and instead was a real world object show fan. he'd be the ceo of snowblockpenraser.

Dreamcatcher AU - black hole is the guardian of dreams! except, oh no. Fries woke up in the middle of the night and threw a lamp at him. now he's stuck going through dreams with Black Hole!! they go into bomby's nightmares and black hole stares in horror and fries laughs and goes 'im in this one'

Pokemon AU - this is not the same as the Pokemon Nickel and Naily AU i worked on with @fl0wer1235 and @yoylematchy. this one is a pokemon league where everyone except grassy, rocky and profily are competing. (profily is the uhh the announcer guy. and the other two are too young to be pokemon trainers i think) Roboty probably wins and he only uses gen 1 pokemon

match is like real ugly

Snownutfrytreeraser AU - Snowball and Donut and Fries and Tree and Eraser are GAY and IN LOVE and yeah that's kinda it

Baby AU - BABY PACT AGAIN!!! with Sapling (Tree), Pastry (Pie), Starry (Black Hole), Controlly (Remote), Pip-Squeak (Marker), Static (Lightning), and Propeller (Fanny) ^_^

Jinsei No Meiyaku! AU - Rimooto is the bubbly female protag. Tsurii is the swooned-over smart boy. Burakkuhooru is the suspicious kuudere who ends up being a good guy. Maakaa is the lovably stupid student. Raitoningu is the overconfident edgy athlete. Pai is the chill student that everyone knows but nobody notices. Fanii is the tsundere. Together, they are...Jinsai No Meiyaku! Here to protect their school and their friends from forces of evil!

Shi No Meiyaku. AU - Akurimooto is a terrified, paranoid mess. Akutsurii is the perfect evil scientist. Akuburakkuhooru has only ever smiled when killing. Akumaakaa is scared of his own shadow. Akuraitoningu is cautious to the point of chaining himself to prevent an accident. Akupai is always angry, and is so fast, you'll never see what's coming until you're already dead. Akufanii will love you, and love you, and won't take no for an answer. Together they are...Shi No Meiyaku. And they're starting to wonder if there ever was a point to protecting their world.

Get Digging AU - Fries wakes up locked in a room with a dirt floor. The only thing inside is a shovel and a note that says: "Get digging, Fries! The key is probably underground! -Bomby" The key was never underground. But he's too stubborn to give up looking.

Astrobiology Swap AU - Black Hole has the smarts and the smoothness, and Tree has the plant powers and the awkwardness. Black Hole's told him that he can't overrun the world with greenery, but Tree is scared anyway.

Lil Buddies AU - The objects and the gijinkas meet...but the objects are itty bitty. Tennis Ball and Golf Ball try to help Pen with homework but just confuse him even more. Fries sits next to Bomby's bed and waits for his nightmares to end (he doesn't know why. he doesn't even like this kid).

Nickel Hanahaki AU - Nickel hanahaki. that's literally it. he's gay for bomby

Camp AU - YAYYY THEY WENT TO CHURCH CAMP YAYYY tree and snowball are the group leaders but they're horrible at their job and keep bickering about what's more important, God or gagaball. Tennis Ball scrapes his knuckles playing gagaball, forgets sunscreen and ends up roasty toasty.

Subtracty Gijinka'd AU - Gijinka'd AU if Subtracty made gijinkas (he's my evil twin. his gijinkas are different)

British Rocky AU - Rocky is British and threatens the LOL to let him rejoin the game or else he'll murder everyone in the WTF (they don't take him seriously HA LOSER)

Tenpen AU - tennis ball goes evil and kidnaps pen and takes pen to his secret underground lair and experiments on him but also makes burgers for him

i. i think that's it? i hope?

"Women Lovers"

Perhaps you do not know it, but there are women who fall in love with each other. Woe be to the unfortunate she, who does the courting! All the cussedness of ingenuity peculiar to the sex is employed by "the other party" in tormenting her. She will flirt with women by the score who are brighter and handsomer than her victim. She will call on them oftener. She will praise their best bonnets and go into ecstasies over their dresses. She will write them more pink notes, and wear their "tin types," and when despair has culminated, and sore-hearted Araminta takes to her bed in consequence, then only will this conquering "she" step off her pedestal to pick up her dead and wounded. But then, women must keep their hand in. Practice makes perfect. FANNY FERN

Published in The Women's Exponent, 15 April 1873

[northangernonsense]

This is a meme I found on google. It is a scene from the office, with a character named Dwight Schrute, who is known as being a crude and blunt character.

In no way does Henry Crawford relate to Dwight, however, this meme accurately describes what we talked about in class. Henry Crawford goes from acting like everyone else in the house toward Fanny, to saying that he will make her fall in love with him. My interpretation of him saying that he wants to make a tiny hole in her heart is that he does not actually care about her affections. It almost seems like he wants to corrupt her simply just because he can. Fanny seems to realize this as well, and takes a stand against him. Jane Austen herself was surprised at this, which is ironic because she obviously wrote the story.

I find this meme especially funny because Fanny is compared to a "well watered fern." This shows exactly how they think of Fanny. It is something that is nice to have around, but it is not noticed at all. Once Henry seemingly gets bored, he looks at Fanny again, and sees her as an attractive young woman instead of a fern. I am very proud of Fanny for recognizing his fake politeness, and it shows the development of Fanny from a scared little girl into a smart young woman.

An Autobiography in Books

We made a list, my mom and I, of all the picture books we loved best

All the Places to Love, which made my mom and my aunt cry together on a summer day once and I didn't understand why

Miss Rumphius

Miss Fanny's Hats

Doctor Suess's books - all of them. We used to have Suess-a-thons on snow days, all curled up together under covers in my parent's bed.

The Best Place, which was probably our favorite

(I would still like to have a screen porch someday, like the Old Wolf)

We had only just moved when we listened to Mr. Revere and I in the car on cassette tape. My parents had to pause it every few chapters to answer our questions, but after we finished with it I played Sons of Liberty with my dolls for years.

And over the years, my parents must have read the Laura and Mary books (so I called them) aloud to me twenty or thirty times. Silver Lake was my favorite. I didn't much mind which parent read them to me, except for Farmer Boy. That book belonged exclusively to my dad.

Pages and pages. I'm in my pajamas with a glass of chocolate milk. My mom or my dad sits on the edge of my bed. Ramona and Avonlea and Where the Red Fern Grows.

My first grade teacher read us a picture book that had a witch in it. I told my mom when I got home. "Can you write me a note to sit out?" I asked, thinking of the previous year's Halloween party.

"What was the book called?" my mom asked me.

"The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe."

My mom laughed. "That's a Christian book," she said. "There's a longer version. We can read it together."

My mom's copy of Little Women had gilt pages and the most beautiful painted illustrations. Sometimes, I would open the book up and flip through it, just to look at the pictures and feel the paper on my hands.

I still dream about running away to live in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, like Claudia in From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler.

There was a book called For Freedom, which almost no one else seems to have heard of.

It was about a teenage girl training to be an opera singer in occupied France.

She was a spy who carried coded messages in the hollowed out heel of her shoe.

In the end, her voice gave out while singing Carmen, which to me seemed a fate worse than death.

She- the girl in the book- would pray: "God, make me brave. Make me brave and make me sing. Protect my family. Make me brave."

I won a Hunger Games trivia contest at my library before Mockingjay was released.

In sixth grade, my friends and I all read Shannon Hale's The Books of Bayern together. There were four of us and four female heroines. We each chose one and we played pretend: Elizabeth was Isi, Lauren was Dasha, Morgan was Rin, and I was Enna

(And then!)

My whole world blossomed into color when I read Gone with the Wind. I had never known such books existed! I remember a kind of frenetic eagerness. A thousand pages in less than a week, and I came away with a fierce, joyful love for messy antiheroines, sprawling epics, and bittersweet endings.

"Recommend me some more of your favorites!" I begged my mother. She handed me Jane Austen, Edith Wharton, the Brontes.

Jane Eyre was a challenge. I was forever flipping to the footnotes in the back of the book, translating the French dialogue and making note of all the words I didn't know. My reading pace was like frozen molasses and I remember several times thinking "Why is this so much harder than Gone with the Wind?"

But by the end, I saw myself in Jane. I was quiet, like her, and I hoped I could capture some of her integrity.

I read Kristin Cashore's Fire right in the middle of my forray into Jane Austen: Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility before, Emma and Persuasion after. For that reason, my mind insists on erroneously filing Fire with Austen's work, a sort of forbidden sixth novel. It does feature

a beautiful, clever heroine who plays an instrument and wanders through the forest,

a romance with a stern but kind young military man,

and issues of class, wealth, and family,

so maybe it's an okay thing if it stays.

Anna Karenina was magic, pure and simple. I couldn't shut up about it. Eventually, my friends begged me to stop quoting. "I think you're even more into Anna Karenina than Narnia nowadays!" This assertion offended me; Narnia will always be my favorite.

(Here, I started high school.)

How to describe the first experience I had with The Age of Innocence?

I read it sitting in a sunbeam over several summer afternoons.

When I was finished, I flipped it back over and read it again.

I think I mostly wanted to embrace Ellen and tell her she was very brave.

I wanted to tell Archer that he wasn't, but that he should be.

My dad gave me a copy of The Story of Earth by Robert Hazen. It was a secular history of Earth's geology and biology, but it had just the slimmest glimmer of theism around the edges. I think this book has set the course of my life more directly than any other.

I read War and Peace and Atlas Shrugged back to back the same summer I read The Story of Earth. What a summer of ideas that was.

More needs be said about War and Peace: I set out to read it because I wanted to conquer it, but then I read Natasha and Sonya gazing at the lovely moon with Andrei below. I was still in my sundress and gold eyeliner from church, and reading Natasha's "Oh, how lovely," I felt positively celestial.

So it was that conquest became a love affair.

The Killer Angels came in the first full year of my battle with chronic illness. It was hopeful, brave and sad; it made me proud to be an American and equally proud to be fighting my own small battle. I wondered if I had any hope of winning.

On the mornings when I didn't have migraines, I sat on a certain bench outside the gym complex with a book until 7:59. I ignored everyone who spoke to me.

I didn't like The Lord of the Rings the first time I read it. I was dreadfully disappointed because I expected to find Narnia. Yet in the pages of The Return of the King, I found no Aslan, only Aragorn.

(Here, I began college.)

The Far Pavilions was just the epic I needed my first year. The migraines were bad; I was alone and in pain and my thoughts were muddled, but whenever Ash thought how unfair his lot was, I felt a little better in mine.

After considerable peer-pressure, I re-read The Lord of the Rings- on it's own terms this time- and at last I loved it.

Then I read The Silmarillion and made all the same mistakes.

It took me four attempts to finally understand the glory of Tolkien's writings.

I read most of The Gulag Archipelago crammed in the back of a van on a road trip to Florida. It was too loud - people talking over one another, radio cranked up high - and I could barely move my legs from where they were pinned to the seat in front of me. My shoulders spasmed and ached. I felt that book in some small yet visceral way. My physical discomfort made the suffering more immediate, which allowed the Solzhenitsyn's knife-words to cut me deeper than they could have otherwise.

Solzhenitsyn got some stuff wrong, my dad says. He just didn't have access to the best information. Try Anne Applebaum, if you really want to know about the gulags. But how can I replicate the experience of reading The Gulag Archipelago in the back of that van?

I was reading Nicolas and Alexandra the next-to last-time I saw my grandfather alive. We sat in the cafeteria in his nursing home and I recounted the most interesting bits for him.

I wasn't finished reading it by the time I left. I'm glad I was reading history that trip; my granddad already knew the ending.

Villette was a book about loneliness and Protestantism. It made me feel less lonely and more Protestant, which is exactly what I look for in a new favorite book.

(Okay fine, I do quite like Wuthering Heights actually, though I wouldn't call it a favorite. Are you happy?)

I picked up The October Horse for quite a shallow reason: because I learned that Julius Caesar was an epileptic, and epilepsy is quite closely related to migraine.

Julius Caesar and Ulysses S. Grant, those were my guys. However, I'd read Grant's memoir all the way back in fifth grade, so Caesar it was.

The rich velvet of Colleen McCullough 's writing came as a delightful surprise, and The Thorn Birds (soon to be another favorite) soon followed.

(It's getting harder to write this now. It's harder to write about more recent history, even indirectly.)

The Master and Margarita was strange and fascinating and I couldn't look away. I have spoken and written hundreds and thousands of words trying to explain it's appeal. I have evangelized on behalf of this book, but ultimately all I can say is: Go read it. Read it right now.

The Sparrow made me weep more times than I would like to admit. Like Emilio Sandoz, in reading it I felt naked before God. How horrible and how lovely a thing it was.

Which of this year's books will I carry with me into the future? This Too Shall Last for practical advice? Dead Souls for justice, Pyrenesi for joy, Deathless for beautiful prose? The Queen of Attolia for friendship, perhaps, or Six of Crows for my sister? Only time will tell which shapes me most.

[swearphil]

What topics did you do term papers on in school that you enjoyed researching?

thank you for sending this, friend!

during grad school, I wrote a paper about Ruth Hall by Fanny Fern for a 19th century American literature class a few years ago. I had fun with this paper because the author was also a newspaper columnist and I searched online through digital archives for her columns and for reviews on the novel she wrote. it was the first time I had ever done anything like that, and I just enjoyed seeing what she had to say and how people reacted to her book when it was first published in 1854.

the actually writing of that paper was An Experience. I did research and read scholarly articles for about a month, and then wrote all of it in the span of about five days I think? I wrote five pages a day to meet the 20 page requirement and turn it in on time. there was actually more I wanted to write about but once I hit 20 pages, I just wrapped it up. my professor ended up emailing me the following semester to ask if he could submit my paper for a department essay contest and I was one of the runner ups!

[smallcatsims]

Towards the end of the round, Marguerite is able to invite the Clarkes and Peckers over. She adores Violet and Celia Clarke and has been progressing quickly in becoming friends with them. The children and teens have a nice time with Thomas and Gregor, though she is a little bit too friendly to Jenkin and he stands near the ballet bar for over an hour trying to kiss her over and over again no matter how many times I cancel it. 

That’s all for this round. Fern aged up into an adult but she looks exactly the same. She did kiss Roland but it was very dark and in the middle of a bunch of trees so I didn’t get a picture. I don’t think it was anything very serious anyway. She’s pretty beneath him these days with the improved prospects/inheritances of the Pecker boys. Poor Fern is a family sim but I don’t know if she’ll ever marry, since she is so repulsed by all the men in her actual social class.

Next, we’ll be back with Milton and Fanny!

Fairy o' the bean bloom, Fairy o' the pea, Fairy o' the pink hedgerose, show yourselves to me! Green goblin o' the grass, limber lively lad, Fife up to the wild feet that joy of you drives mad!

Down through the garden, all across the grove, Fairy o' the pine-needles, whither shall I rove ? Neither hare nor deer am I, catamount nor snake; Just a wild-wood-wanderer,— and what's the way to take?

River at the foot of me, restless with his rocks, Tickled by the white birch-tree's long green lady-locks; Cliff at my shoulder; forest at my back; Meadow deep with daisies—what do I lack?

Nothing in the wide world save another face, Save another cloven foot to tempt me to a race. Fairy o' the Satyr-wind, be visible to me! Never man nor woman sees the wilding world I see.

Fairy o' the frail fern, slender fairy girl, Fairy o' the thistle-down, lead me all awhirl! You of the water-fall, you of berry-brake, You of the wet green moss, show the way to take!

What's the world but green and gold? What's love but this - Touching hands with tendriled vines, giving air your kiss? Who desires the ugly flesh, when his soul can run Clean to the world's caress, splendid to the sun?

April Wrap Up

This month has flown by and so much has happened! My boyfriend and I signed a lease on an apartment (we’re moving in at the beginning of June) and we booked a venue for our wedding in spring 2022! Now he just needs to get me a ring. Our new place is gorgeous and has so much natural light from the huge windows, which means maybe my book photos will be a bit better than they have been. One can hope, at least!

Books Read - Goal: 8  Total: 9

It’s been a good reading month, mainly due to school. And I just want to say that Moths and The Heavenly Twins are both 600+ pages so reading both of them in the same month plus other books is really impressive! Those two happen to also be my favorite and least favorite of the month. I need to read more by Ouida now; she’s amazing. The Heavenly Twins wasn’t awful; there were good parts, but it gets bogged down with a lot of unnecessary stuff.

In contrast, we have plenty over here. There probably won’t be as much posted in May because I have seminar papers to write.
