During S1 E12 of Saturday Night Live, John Belushi broke during the third "Lowell Brock" sketch. Though the people at home couldn’t see it, both Belushi and the live studio audience witnessed Lorne Michaels tying Belushi’s shoelaces together during the live sketch. When the camera pulls away, Lorne Michaels can be seen crawling away on the floor, glass of white wine nearby. When Belushi realizes the prank after the sketch, over the applause, he is barely heard muttering, "What the fuck? Goddamn!"

This is going to sound really stupid but I have to post it as I need it written down. I’m a Stargate Atlantis long time (obsessed) fan, been reading fan fiction exclusively for that show for years, until Masters of the Air. Now imagine this…..

One day Atlantis is just going out its normal day when Chuck notices something strange on the scanners. They send Major Lorne out in a jumper to investigate. As he get close, and can’t quite believe what he sees, he cloaks the jumper. What Lorne sees is a flight of B17’s. Damaged B17’s. Cue Radek and Chuck trying to get them on the radio. Turns out they are from the Schweinfurt–Regensburg Raid and are trying to make it to Algeria, they have no idea where they are, the compasses aren’t working, they should be over land but suddenly all they see is sea, they have wounded on board and are running out of fuel.

Atlantis manages to make contact and tells them the only land for hundreds of miles is the city and they can land on the piers. Curt’s Fort is still with them, trailing behind, Dickie is still alive and the rest of the crew managed to bail out over land, which was there one minute and gone the next, so as they are now over sea Curt is just tying to keep them in the air.

Anyway they all land okay, Beckett, Keller, Biro and the rest of the medical team patch everyone up. Dickie goes straight into theatre. Colonel Shepard is now stuck not knowing what to say as it appears the Forts have traveled through a hole in time and space. No they can’t contact their base or the 12th in Algeria.

The only thing Atlantis can do is contact Stargate Command (Earth) and ask for the records showing what happened to each man and plane. If they landed in Algeria when they should have then Rodney McKay, Radek and team find a way to send the B17’s and crews back the way they came, if however the records show all the crews MIA from that raid then they never go home.

Of course it’s more awkward for Dickie and Curt as saving Dickie probably means more surgery than they would have had access to in 1943 so it looks like Curt and Dickie are definitely stuck in the future.

And what if they did go home, and they took a letter written by Rodney, which they gave to Chick Harding who managed to get to Catherine Langford after the war, who passed it onto General Hammond, who passed it onto Samantha Carter so she at least knew they were coming, but didn’t know exactly when?

Anyway, I’m not a writer, I am just a bit obsessed with this blend of these two shows. I have a whole story in my mind.

I'm absolutely feral after finally seeing Lucifer in the comic. I can't wait to see what divine bullshit Lorne gets up to

Hehe ty!! It certainly took a long time to build up to him, and I was soooo excited to finally get to debut the design!

Definitely looking forward to featuring him more as Lorne (continues to) fuck up

A Timeline of Duviri

While the Planes of Duviri don't function in a typical linearity, with its cyclical story spirals happening day after day, there is something of a timeline of events in the pocket universe, largely revolving around the lost islands of Duviri. This is an attempt at creating that timeline. This will contain spoilers for both the Duviri Paradox quest, as well as the Lost Islands of Duviri Fragments. Most of this is conjecture - the timeline of Duviri is pretty nebulous, and so I've had to guess based on context as to when events occurred.

The first event in the Duviri timeline is the establishment of the kingdom, during the Zariman 10-0 Incident. A young Drifter creates Duviri based on their storybook, Tales of Duviri, with the appearance of Dominus Thrax based on a doll the child owned.

The earliest event in Duviri history that we know of appears to be the arrival of The Scholar, an unnamed stranger who was granted the island of Scholar's Landing. Eventually, this island, and its inhabitant, would disappear.

Following this, I believe the first natural loss of an island occurred, which I'm guessing would be the Execution Cyst.

Then, the Bleeding Earth occurs, where a farmer named Hovrel discovers a spring of oily blood while digging on the island of Cornucopia. One person tasted it, and was immediately corrupted by the fluid. Thrax isolated and then severed the island of Cornucopia from the mainland.

Following this, an undercroft portal forms at the bottom of Lake Verula, resulting in the spread of Golden Maws across the Islands, and the draining and destruction of the lake.

Several more islands disappear over this time, including the Golden Hive and the Inversion Tree, while Thrax orders that the Shrines of the island of Lorn be disassembled and moved to the mainland.

Thrax eventually orders Manipura Island destroyed, along with its residents, the Calaventi sisters and their tennant farmers, after he is informed of their seditious comments by the family's staff.

Acritis witnesses an enormous finger emerge from the ground of the Galleria, and informs Thrax, who orders the island destroyed in fear.

Stitcher's Gulch and the Bountiful Swamp both vanish.

The Island of Lorn is severed from Duviri by disgruntled citizens, who break the bridges which connected it to the rest of Duviri, and dragged it away by tying Kaithes to the island with ropes.

The Rain of Chains occurs, where broken pieces of chain start falling from a red "veil" in the sky, injuring many citizens of Duviri, and killing Garmi, Mathila's husband, and destroying the Seriglass lighthouse atop Watcher's Island. Before his death, Garmi records an audio log detailing his vision of an enormous hand missing one of its fingers emerging from the Void. Three spirals later, the island itself vanishes.

Following the Rain of Chains, the Hollow Children begin appearing, until Thrax orders the island of Academe destroyed, only to find it has drifted away by itself. Around this time, I believe the Doll Mausoleum and Necropolis Island also vanish.

Teshin arrives on the island of Hermit's Landing, and is nursed back to health by Mathila. I presume he establishes his cave on this island, otherwise the island is lost. At some point, the Drifter meets Teshin, and names the Rablit who lives with the former Dax.

Finally, the Meteor of Natah's Hand falls on Duviri during the Drifter's execution, resulting in them escaping, and beginning the events of the Duviri Paradox.

While some of the characters in Duviri mention past events, like the crowning of Dominus Thrax, or the previous rulers of Duviri whom Lodun would have inherited the throne from, I believe these events did not occur within this version of Duviri, rather being holdovers from when Duviri was a storybook, where they were included as part of the setting description. Given this iteration of Duviri was created by the Drifter, I find it most likely that Thrax was on the throne from the start of its existence, as it was created with that in mind, as that is how the stories in Tales of Duviri seem to be written.

1, 2, 3, 7, and 8 for! Ivy and Lorne this time hehe

yay ty for the ask! ^^ sorry it took a bit to answer, i took some time to do a quick sketch for one of ivy's answers lol

ivy! <3

1. what is the character's go-to drink order?

definitely something fruity.. can’t think of anything specific rn but it’s definitely cold and with fruit in it. she’ll nearly always get a cold drink, even if it’s snowing outside.

2. what is their grooming routine?

she takes care of herself really well most days- washes her face with nice-smelling soap, uses leave-in conditioner for her wavy hair, etc.. the only times she slips up in her little daily routine are when she’s in a depressive episode after burning herself out or is in a place without running water.

3. what was their most expensive purchase/where does their disposable income go?

two pairs of glass daggers.. they’re Very Nice. she commissioned them from a blacksmith she met while traveling with adonis and lorne.

one pair has greenish glass with a silvery hilt and a leaf motif. the other pair has bluish glass with a gold hilt and a star motif.

she began courting cordelia by offering her the blue/gold set. they got along super well and became girlfriends <3

eventually, the two of them had to travel a long distance apart. they swapped one dagger with each other to feel close while apart. even after they reunited, they’ve kept their pairs mixed :-)

while the daggers aren’t enchanted, ivy can channel dark magic through them. they glow and look like uranium glass when she does it!

here's a quick rough draft of what the daggers look like :O using the skyrim glass dagger as a base for now until i come up with something better. the daggers aren't super practical tbh.. but since ivy fights with magic and cordelia fights with a greatsword, they don't have to worry about their practicality that much lol

(ivy's on the left, cordelia's on the right)

7. describe the shoes they’re wearing.

hmm… the post-apoc equivalent of doc martens lol. tough and nice-looking. they’re usually a little muddy from exploring old ruins and traveling.

8. describe the place where they sleep.

ivy’s bedroom is cery cozy and cluttered! she’s got a bed in the corner that’s covered in a heap of blankets (which she usually sleeps on top of instead of under).

there are shelves with all her books, trinkets, and gifts from her friends and family. ivy also has a desk in her bedroom that she studies at. there’s about a 50/50 chance of her falling asleep at the desk instead of in bed tbh

the lighting is very dim. during the day, it only comes in through a window which is almost always covered by decorative curtains. at night, she keeps a lantern lit over her desk.

lorne :-)

1. what is the character's go-to drink order?

chai! lorne grew up in a place where it was basically the most common/popular drink around. iced or hot, doesn’t matter, he loves it. bonus points if it has aromatic herbs & spices.

2. what is their grooming routine?

it’s pretty simple- he brushes his hair with his fingers, washes his face with water, and puts on a little sunscreen (he’s got that redhead complexion). if he has a lot of spare time, he’ll take some time to stretch- gotta take care of your body when you’re a swordsman!

3. what was their most expensive purchase/where does their disposable income go?

lorne’s most expensive purchase was his prosthesis (left lower leg. i used to have it that he lost his forearm, but changed it to his leg in my latest story rewrite). he got it custom designed and had it built to be extremely durable.

7. describe the shoes they’re wearing.

well-worn boots with a steel toe and metal shin-guards.

8. describe the place where they sleep.

lorne’s bedroom is surprisingly empty.. he’s used to having to travel constantly & fitting all his belongings into one or two bags.

even in a permanent home, lorne keeps it pretty bare, only using a small shelf on the wall to display a few of his keepsakes at a time. he keeps a box under the bed with the others and swaps them out when he feels like it. he makes his bed about half the time. there’s a desk in his room like ivy’s, but he doesn’t use it very often. adonis uses it more than he does tbh wbsbwkf

It’s only a week into his time more seriously going to the Swords and Shields’ training hall that someone suggests that Daz take part in a training exercise.

The idiot who suggested it was clearly trying to do it as hazing– to make sure he understood his place.

Unfortunately for him, he picked one of the worst possible ones.

Blind man’s bluff– a game in which one person is blindfolded and has to try and suss out the location of nearby hiders. Once located, they need to hit their target with something.

It’s a terrible pick because, see– Daz helped get this specific one as part of the roster. Once Aster started bringing in games like Bedwars and Manhunts for training, Daz kept an eye out for similar things that could be of use.

He sees Aster immediately clock that not only is this happening, but that Daz will make them regret trying to test him.

His eventual husband looks vaguely pained as he says, “I’m…not taking part in this. To ensure it’s fair, I’ll only be observing.”

The group thinks that he’s being harsh to Daz, when really, he’s just saving his own skin. Daz knows more about Aster’s behavior and physicality than most of the hopeless idolizers in this group could ever fathom.

In short, Daz would hit him first and hit him hard.

Setup is fast. Aster gives him a dedicated bow and arrows, letting him get a feel for it before tying the blindfold on.

“Go easy on them,” Aster pleads as he spins Daz around, voice quiet enough that it won’t carry. “I’d rather die,” Daz hums, equally quiet, but also cheerful and petty.

A long, tired sigh comes from Aster, even though Daz knows damn well he sleeps just fine.

Retreating on light footsteps, Aster barks with surprising authority, “Ten seconds!”

Daz stays completely still, cataloging where everyone goes. It’s not hard– they’re in the fairly small cafeteria and there’s barely more than a dozen people present.

Audibly resigned, Aster announces, “Go.”

He doesn’t need any hesitation before firing shots– one, two, three, four, all in a cluster.

“Holy shit,” someone breathes, and promptly gets shot for it.

There’s a protest of, “That has to be cheating–” “I’ve had eyes on him since this was suggested. He hasn’t opened his console, nor taken anything. I tied the blindfold and gave him the bow myself. Are you calling my integrity into question, Lorne?”

A meek mumble of, “No, sir,” comes, along with an annoyed huff from Aster.

Out of spite, Daz shoots them again despite them being out.

“Hey, what the fuck?!” Aster tells him, “Don’t hit people that aren’t active, Daz.” 

He shifts his aim around, giggling, “Oopsie, my bad! I thought there was a mouse over there.”

There’s a soft huff of laughter, and he fires at that person. Based on a muffled squeak, he fires another.

After several long moments of failing to hear anything else, he slowly makes his way around the room. Avoiding the tables is easy, because he’s easily able to orient himself based on the hum of the vending machines against one wall.

There are only tiny tells that give the others away, but it doesn’t matter. Soon enough, Aster tells him, “Congratulations, that’s one of the fastest times I’ve seen.”

He smiles brightly as Aster undoes the blindfold. There’s a wry smile as his future partner says, “So, you know– good job.”

In a move he knows is going to ruin Aster’s entire week, he flings himself forward and hugs him tightly. “Yay! I’m sure they went easy on me, but that’s okay! I’ll get good enough that I can beat them when they really try.”

Someone says, “Uh, maybe you shouldn’t cling to the boss like that–”

He looks at Aster, who is completely rigid and seeming to struggle to react properly. “Star, does this bother you? You’d tell me if you were mad at me again, right?”

Aster looks away as he awkwardly pats Daz’s hair. “It’s– I would, yeah.” “And you’re not saying anything, so…”

“Daz.”

He giggles, beaming brightly at him. “Sorry, I couldn’t resist!”

There are several long moments of silence, during which Daz does not let himself enjoy the hand on his head or think about how it’s both familiar and not.

Then Aster clears his throat, and Daz sheepishly withdraws. “Sorry, I’m just really clingy with people I like.”

“People you like?” The question from a nearby Puffy makes Daz giggle again. “I mean, like– gosh, Aster is super admirable, you know? That kind of strength is like…super impressive, especially when you’re starting from like, nothing. And– I mean, I’ve always thought that? From the first moment I met him, he’s kinda been larger than life!”

Like he’s shy, he steals glances at Aster, whose eyes abruptly go wide.

“Wait,” he says, a rushed tone to his words that makes Daz deeply curious what he just saw, “was that…”

There’s a moment of hesitation as Aster seems to work out how to phrase what he wants to ask.

“Daz, have you given me special…wait, what’s the usual budget for clubs and groups?”

Ah, so he finally found out about one of his little secrets.

Deliberately donning a nervous look, he laughs and stammers, “I, uh– I mean, it’s not really– I’d have to look, you know?”

“I’m going to assume I got much more than usual, then. Where did the extra money come from, Daz?”

He pretends to try and come up with another answer, and then makes his body language deflate.

Awkwardly, he admits, “I paid for it myself.”

There’s a long, tense silence, and then someone asks the obvious question of, “Paid for what?”

With a little shrug, Daz fiddles with his earrings. “You know, uhm…startup costs. Not– not all of it, there was still the usual stipend, but I kinda…maybe…”

He gestures at the room around them. “Uhm, paid for this. Like, the building. And the planning. The stipend mostly went to, like…some equipment and upkeep and stuff.”

It’s really, really, really obvious that Aster is having a bluescreen from trying to accept this information.

But, what– was Daz supposed to let this be shitty?

He’s rich. He’s been rich for a long-ass time. His pay compared to his spending is completely unbalanced without even touching his extra trade deals.

This is his project; his goal. Not leveraging his resources properly is stupid.

Aster, an unfamiliar tone to his voice, asks, “Why?”

Though he knows what Aster is actually asking, he answers, “I have, like, lots of money and I super believed in the cause. I figured it wouldn’t hurt to make sure it was as good as it could be, you know?”

With a little laugh, he admits, “It’s kinda nothing for me, anyway? I have, uh– I get paid a lot. Like, a lot a lot.”

Because it’ll be good cover, he perks up. “Oh! I can show you, maybe? I’ve seen what you do here, maybe you can come see what I do? I know you’re kinda a hermit on your days off–” “Which you know how?”

Daz blinks at him a few times, then cocks his head to the side like it’s confusing why he’s asking. It’s all for the ruse; he knows Aster is a hermit because he had to threaten the idiot into bonding with the Swords and Shields outside of training.

Barbeques, and thus Aster’s grilling setup, were Daz’s idea-slash-demand.

He answers, “We live next to each other, duh? Also, like– you kinda draw attention, and people talk when you go places. That means that it’s abnormal for you, so like…it’s kinda obvious you prefer being at home.”

Then there’s a soft, wry huff of almost-laughter from Aster. “Alright, I guess. Might as well see what the hell you even do to get that kind of money.”

Good, that'll provide a reason for this. No sense in being sloppy about that, after all– not when that kind of thing would lead to some messy questions getting asked.

Cheerfully, Daz says, “I’m one of the highest-paid people on the server! Only Management gets more. I’m, like– not to sound like I’m bragging, but I do kinda do something really important.”

A Dream, baffled, asks, “What’s important enough for that scale of a paycheck?”

Daz hums, cracking his neck as he mentally orders what he does in a day.

“I mean…I, or other Welcome Wagon employees, are the first consistent contact most people have. Even for exceptions like Protege Tommys or other stuff that involves drawn out code alteration, we visit and ensure everything is taken care of. A non-exhaustive list of our responsibilities include coordination for housing, therapy, banking, coms, and groups of interest; obviously orientation is a huge deal, because, like– information gets lost in the shuffle otherwise, leading to people being confused and frustrated; we provide temporary shelter and supplies while long-term plans are made; we help those who decide that Sanctuary isn’t to their liking in finding and getting prepared for going to a new reality…for people who have been here a while, we’re also like an information desk. You can stop by and we can tell you or direct you to things to do, places to eat, maybe even stuff for, like, weddings!”

He beams at the way that list has made everyone have a sudden and near-violent reconsideration of what his workload is like.

Also at the way Aster chokes a little at the word wedding.

I thought you were being nicer to him, Innit huffs, and Daz retorts that it’s funny to bully him like this.

With another giggle, he repeats, “But that’s, like– not everything. I’m sure I’m forgetting stuff.”

Then he steps forward and grabs Aster’s arm. “Since we’re sparring buddies now, I made lunch!”

As expected, Aster perks up. “Thanks. I appreciate it.”

Because it’s a habit and because he’s himself, Daz teases, “Careful, I might start to think you’re, like– starting to crush on me.”

Aster extracts his arm and ruffles his hair again. “Blame yourself for being charming, then.”

Daz freezes, bluescreening as Aster gives him a smug look and turns to walk away. With a little wave, he’s told, “When you’re ready to eat, I’ll be in my office.”

In his head, Innit cackles mockingly at how easily it got flipped around on him.

The Ledge #613: First Quarter Recap

During the process of putting together tonight's look back at the first three months of 2024 I suddenly realized that just by looking through the January and February releases I already had more than enough tunes for a two hour show. That's without even taking a look at a jampacked March! 

Obviously, that means I had to cut out quite a few fave songs for tonight's show. My suggestion is for everyone to go back and listen to the new release episodes of the last three months to check out anything missed in tonight's broadcast.

It has been a great year for music, although I confess that I say this each and every year. But the fact is that those who complain that rock and roll was only great in their teen years are just plain wrong. That's a "you" problem. There's something for everyone tonight - ferocious punk, hookladen power pop, a blast or two back to roots rock. There's brand new bands and grizzled veterans. Take a chance and give them a shot!

happy birthday! have a good one:)

Ty!!!

[tacky-optic]

ok i have a teeny bit more to say about this so here's the manga panel edit i mentioned before i start rambling again

i wanna give a lil shoutout to @/theloopcrew for the interpol song (already had im gonna win on there but when i saw they already had it too i was like 'hell yeah, they get it') and @/larcenylupin for making the highly apt and accurate callout about franz ferdinand being VERY lupin-esque-- wouldn't have found the fallen that way so if you see this ty for that :thumbsup:

and as for the fujiko and jigen playlists, i figured i might as well give some song recs from those (and since those playlists are a bit long i'll give the artists) as well because why not.

for jigen:

i'm alive by johnny thunder, the big gundown by ennio morricone, gay thoughts by the growlers, i'm a gun by lorne greene, hell and you by amigo the devil, and puppet loosely strung by the correspondents.

for fujiko:

can't get enough of myself by santigold, life's a flame ft. lileth by you & explosion band/yuji ohno (this one's probably my favorite lupin song tbh), sexy villain by remi wolf, toxic by the surfragettes, (you're the) devil in disguise by elvis, and paradigme by la femme.

i have zero confidence in actually putting to words why this tired old fart makes my brain feral so i took the Vibes playlist i had for him and split it up into something less dissatisfying and more concrete. if i had to recommend any of the songs, i'd give these a listen:

mercy, washed up, losing my religion, spectacular rival, compromise, it doesn't matter why, and the fallen.

they're the most Him to me at the moment.

i also have playlists for these two,

Fujiko Jigen

but they're kinda just Vibes and not anything, like, genuinely thoughtful or meaningful lol. fujiko's cover is just an eyecatch screencap and jigen's is just a manga panel that i liked and mildly edited. dont get me wrong i love them with whatever part of my heart isnt being strangled by That Guy, but i felt no compulsion to put any effort into a truly custom cover. i think that says enough.

i'm not gonna bother linking the og zeni playlist but it is on my spotify profile (among other special interest things) if you're curious. it's just jazz. high-strung jazz and sad jazz.

recommendations ARE encouraged for ANY of the lists (asks or tags, idc), though i can't for sure guarantee i'll add them because i'm a picky motherfucker when it comes to music

[crtalley]

Hey! What setting, out of all those in your WIPs, is your favourite? :^)

Oh god this is tough

Between Journseaverse which is the most developed high fantasy setting and Bearskin that's just fairytale logic worldbuilding and Gramarye that's urban fantasy and Weaveworld beyond the portal--

I really really love Journsea because I've put so much time and thought into it. But a close runner up is Lorne, the setting for Jackdaw, which is a few hundred square miles of land literally carved out of another world and cast adrift in the cosmos of a god's wastebasket.
