Deciding to draw Eragon with Elven features after reading the first book is a very … interesting decision

I know that the more elven/draconic characteristics will probably appear in Eldest or the book after that, but I liked to think that Eragon probably already developed these characteristics during the course of the first book and didn't even notice.

I imagine it's like a pimple, you don't notice it's there unless you go to a mirror and notice it's there, the only time he considered touching his ears to check it was when Brom mentioned such a detail to him, so to me it makes sense that he wouldn't have noticed it yet because he's been through so much that these details haven't even crossed his mind again.

hello buddy, i am here to collect your thoughts on the firm :3c

THIS IS MY KIND OF ASK. Prefacing this with a Mitchy sketch:

I genuinely have no bad things to say about The Firm, it's a very good film! I'd rank it in my top 10 Cruise films and I even have a poster of it on my wall!!! Mitchell Y. McDeere is very important to me.

I haven't read the novel yet so my only reference of the story is the film, so just putting that out there before I get into what I particularly love about this film LOL 1. Mitch and Abby's relationship is genuinely such a strong part of the film. I maintain that the film wouldn't have worked as well if Abby had been given less importance as a character. And when Abby decides to come back to Mitch, you really do get the feeling that she was given the space and time to do that herself rather than being forced into it. I love them, they're a wonderful couple <3 Communication and forgiveness wins 2. Something I don't see a lot of people talk about is Avery. Yeah, he's a weird guy and he's Lowkey a creep to Abby, but I was eating up the implications that Avery used to be just like Mitch before the Firm dug its claws into him. Avery is what Mitch's future would have looked like if Mitch hadn't gotten out and it ups the stakes for me the tiniest bit 3. The entire final act. Delicious. Tom Cruise running for his life and then looking like a sad wet dog while speaking to the Moroltos. How could you ask for more . 4. Just in general, every character feels so Distinct in a way a lot of films don't manage. I think about Ray and Tammy way too often 5. HEARSAY!!!!! NEED I SAY MORE

The resistance has fallen. Mac and Layla and their friends have been driven out of Los Angeles and are hunted down by Matrix Corp, the corporation now proven to have played a rather antagonistic part in the pandemic that unleashed bloodthirsty zombies upon the world. With no foot to stand on and no safe home to fall back on, the group has to trek back into the wasteland to reunite with some old friends— in hopes to find the stability they need to work on a plan to take Matrix down once and for all. But strange things are happening in the wastes of the United States. Ghouls are becoming smarter, and stronger— and the sudden appearance of a series of strange and hostile settlements tells the group a new player has entered the game, and they are out for blood.

I wanna post this so I have him archived forever because he's my boy... My oc Singer whom I cherish :3 bio under da cut... 🔧

Singer is a ghoul living in the Nevada desert. He's something of a mechanic, but specifically small engine repair and tinkering. He's gruff, rough around the edges and doesn't drink liquor. Even though he bites the filters off of his cigarettes, he loves to smile and belly laugh after a bad joke.

Living (?) proof sometimes ghoulification keeps you well insulated.

Being a prewar ghoul, Singer is old and constantly bemoans his aches and pains while attributing any mistakes to his old age. Sometimes, he can be short and blunt, with a habit to push people (and help) away. In spite of that, Singer is given to helping others even if it is to his own detriment. In his heart he truly tries to see the good in people, which has a tendency to draw in some strange characters.

It's unclear where he's from exactly– his own memory is fuzzy around the edges after 200 years– but before October of 2077, he was living somewhere around Boulder City working at a gas station garage. His story changes depending on who asks, but there's something about a bunker, and only lasting about a year inside with a few other colleagues from his workplace. 

By 2281, he is living in his own home in the Nevada desert; somewhere along the highway towards the City, his outpost setup in an old garage serves that purpose well. Singer runs a small fix-it business out of his home, and trades odds and ends. He has an eye for antiques, and if you'll let him, he'll keep you in his workshop for hours while he yaps away.

hi there! you said in your tags that the latest chapter of deep end contains the two scenes you built the entire fic on. i hope i'm not too nosy but i was wondering if you could tell us more about those two scenes? <3

omg hi anon!! yes i would LOVE to tell you more about those two scenes 🫡 gonna put this beneath the cut because i am a certified yapper and this WILL be longer than i intend it to be

the scenes in question are the two arguments with cosette and grantaire at the end. the cosette argument in particular is the basis of so much of this fic — the line "The dutiful martyr Enjolras, who has a flag where he should have a heart." was one of the very first things i wrote for deep end. not a very charitable place to begin from when it comes to enjolras' characterization, but even when i first wrote it, it was less about who enjolras was and more about how he was perceived.

okay i just scrolled allllllllll the way back to the very beginning of the edit history in my original deep end document (still titled "enjolsette siblings?" btw) and first of all i started writing this in MARCH which is wild to me. that was the month i finished reading les mis. wow. anyway apparently i wrote the first drafts of both these scenes in the same evening, and i'm honestly surprised by how much of them remained unchanged in the final version. at the time that i wrote them, they both occurred in chapter 8 of what i PLANNED to be 10 chapters. that's also extremely funny to me. there was really a time when i thought i could contain this story to 10 chapters...

when i wrote these chapters, i hadn't even written enjolras and cosette meeting yet. the original draft of the grantaire argument didn't have enjolras realizing he was in love with grantaire then. i was still in the first 10k of writing deep end when i wrote them. all that existed before these arguments were the original draft of chapter 1, half of the original draft of chapter 2, and the conversation with combeferre in chapter 5 that begins with combeferre saying "You've been spending a lot of time with Grantaire lately." so when i say these scenes are the basis of the entire fic, i really mean it. the whole time i was writing, i was pushing enjolras toward this point.

from the moment that i began writing deep end, it was intended to be an exploration of enjolras & his ideas of duty and justice. it has spiraled into being a story about a lot of other things, but in the kitchen with cosette, it comes down to this again. it comes down to: enjolras, and what he thinks his duty is, and just how wrong he is.

because he is wrong. money, whether she wants it or not, isn't going to "fix" cosette. there is no "fixing" cosette, because she's not broken. has she been hurt? yes. did their father fail her? undeniably. but depositing a check into her bank account isn't the answer to this. enjolras wants to heal her in some material sort of way, and that just isn't possible. all he can do is be her brother.

so, i had to take enjolras to that place. i had to make him obsess over "paying for his father's sins." i had to make him stressing himself out over the money. i had to make him love cosette without understanding it. and i had to make him terrible.

i love making enjolras terrible, i won't lie. a lot of the time when i'm writing, i like to see how terrible i can make him without alienating him completely from the reader. when i was trying to decide what line from this chapter to use as the summary, i sent a few options to my friend cossette, who read an earlier draft of this fic. she chose the line about him being "capable of being truly terrible" for me, because she said that was kind of the whole thing i was going for.

and it was! for him to be able to say the things he says in this chapter — from telling cosette "Look what he did to you!" to him saying to grantaire "Your chest is even emptier than mine. All you have is an empty bottle and a half-assed joke." he HAS to be terrible. these are terrible things to say!

unfortunately, i think they're also very human things to say. i joke a lot about how much i enjoy making characters say the worst possible things to each other, but it's true. i love doing it. because i think it's so tragically human. especially when you're saying these things to a person that you love. it's easy to hurt the people we love, because we know them well enough to know just where to hit them.

when enjolras hurts cosette, it's mostly by accident. he is coming from a good place, but going all about it wrong. when he hurts grantaire, it is with intent. he and grantaire have spent years hurting each other. when enjolras finds himself falling after fighting with cosette, it's too easy for him to cling to the closest familiar thing: fighting with grantaire.

building up to the fight with grantaire was a different beast. whereas the argument with cosette is borne from misguided ideas of justice, the fight with grantaire is entirely personal. as i was writing deep end, i had to write an enjolras and a grantaire who could come to this place, in very different ways. enjolras had to find himself leaning on grantaire; he had to be in more pain than anyone realized, including himself; he had to be terrible. grantaire, in contrast, had to have some amount of self control; he had to be someone who could be leaned on; he had to be able to walk away. the grantaire we meet in chapter 1 meets very little of these requirements. his development is just as important as enjolras', even if he isn't the main focus.

this answer is, as predicted, much much longer than i intended so i will wrap things up. when writing longform fic, i tend to start with the worst thing and work my way outwards from there. these two scenes are the worst things. because i knew where he was going, i knew while i was writing that i had to shape and enjolras who would find himself saying and doing the worst things he could. that's why he's cruel to grantaire in the first few chapters, why he finds himself arguing with grantaire despite knowing better, why he constantly finds himself self-destructing. i always tell everyone that deep end is about enjolras beating the marble statue allegations, and that's never truer than it is in chapter 18.

for the record, you are always welcome to stop by and ask me about deep end! i have soooooo much director's commentary and i love to yap. i could talk all day about what happened in the original draft, what was added later, ideas i toyed with, why i made the decisions i did, etc. thank you so much for this ask <333 i had lots and lots of fun answering it even if my answer is pretty much as long as deep end herself.
