Coffee shop AU my beloved

Ask game

[sailforvalinor]

Chara: “I’m kind of crushing on someone, but I’m worried about telling you who it is, because you’re not going to like it.”

Berlyne: “Rip the bandage off.”

Chara: “It’s Enel.”

Berlyne: “Put the bandage back on.”

The prompt amethyst made me think of Sofia the first for some reason, and I knew I had to rope her into the drawing somehow, so here’s the result!

Linh Cinder, Berlyne Alvarado, Loid Forger (for the character bingo thing)

Cinder

(I just finished rereading TLC and I still love Cinder SO MUCH 😭)

Berlyne

Loid

(I love him a normal amount…I want to keep watching I just got to where they got Bond 😭)

[siena-sevenwits]

OK, I was tagged to spell out my url in songs I like by a few people (I am sorry, I have already lost track of who - I am pretty sure @saxifrage-wreath was one, but thank you to all of you!) So here we go.

S - "Shy" by Sarah Jessica Parker

Not a fan of the musical as a whole, but this song is bursting with good humour and fun for an alto. The fact that you get to blast the phrase, "I've always been SHYYYYYYYYYY" at the top of your lungs like a brass band going by really is the best.

I -"Inventor's Daughter" by Branches

I love the imagery and storytelling of this one - it's really only capturing about thirty seconds of their lives and yet I can imagine both him and her so clearly.

E - "England" by Great Big Sea

A lovely little song about some of the first Englishmen to arrive in Newfoundland.

N - "Now and For Always" from the Lord of the Rings Musical

When I was a little kid there was a period where I more or less knew the story of LOTR, but only as far as the end of the 1978 animated film. The last we see of Frodo and Sam, Sam has just expressed that he doubt they have rations for a return journey, and "after that..." Frodo, to the most poignant music has grasped Sam by the shoulders and said, "Oh Sam, Samwise Gamgee. My dearest Hobbit, friend of friends. After that? If the Ring goes into the fire, and we are at hand? After that, dear Sam. I wouldn't worry." (He turns away) Just to get there. Just to get there. The Ring is so heavy now, Sam." And then Gollum shows up, and leads them off over the ridge in search fo the winding stair. And I had no idea what happened to them after that. But that VHS was well worn, even more worn into my heart that into the tape, and to me it was like some kind of neverending myth. As though Frodo and Sam were still journeying to Mount Doom - eternal wanderers on their way to save the world in spite of weariness and suffering. This song, based on another conversation in the book, makes me feel the same way that moment in the movie did so long ago, when I didn't know how it ended.

A - "Augustine" by Vienna Tang

Ring for an Augustine tonight.

S- "The Show" by Lenka

Because it makes me think of a dear friend who considered this her theme song in one season of her life.

E - "Eight Days a Week" by the Beatles

I used to do quite a lot of ballroom dancing, and this one was a favourite for the foxtrot.

V - "Voice in My Throat" by Pearl and the Beard

A friend put this on a very sweet character playlist, and so it's associated with both her and with Gwendolyn from KQ.

E - "Emile et Raoul" from the "A Monster in Paris" soundtrack

Just a lovely little instrumental in a frankly outstanding soundtrack. (Almost all the songs are fantastic, though the instrumentals are nice too.)

N - "Neck of the Woods" by Maisie Peters

Lyrical, joyful, confident, all about closeness and growth.

W -"Will I Find My Home in You" (acoustic version) by Juniper Veil.

I put it in my Portland Row playlist, and have since fallen in love with it.

I - "I Love Rossini" by Andrea Boccelli

I do love Rossini, this one was a favourite when I was fifteen or so, and it now makes me think of my secondary lead character.

T - "The Tower" by Alana Henderson

A song about healing and patience, and I also associate it with Berlyne Alvarado.

S - "She's With Me" by High Valley

High energy, sheer devotion, makes me think of Mary if I listen selectively to the lyrics.

[whispersart]

another Berlyne redraw

[dragonanne]

Something I appreciate and admire about Berlyne is the fact that even after her first meeting with this dude was a fight where she literally lodged her bow into one of his materializing ribs, she's still helping him climb a staircase.

And I like how after she grievously injured him in that manner, he quickly turned around and gave her a new, fancy bow just a few minutes later. Like. No grudge between these two (that we can see so far).

I appreciate that kind of attitude.

They're just like:

TSE Appreciation Week Day Six

Hi. It is Day Six. No exclamation marks today, for the week is over and it is a sad occasion. I hope you like it. Also, I noticed that I accidently titled yesterday’s post “Day Four” when it’s supposed to be “Day Five.” Oops. 

Enjoy.

Laura Hollingsworth sat down at her computer, fingertips poised over the keyboard. She heard a whine from under her chair, and looked down to see a fluffy dog staring back at her.

“No distractions, Gwladys. Now that the Hiatus Secundus is finally over, I'm writing the script for Chapter 21.”

Gwladys whined again, and Laura gave her a treat.

“Now go sleep or kill a lizard or something. I'm busy.” She gave the dog a little scratch behind the ears, and firmly patted her on the rump.

“Shoo.”

Gwladys left the room. Laura turned back to her keyboard. She yawned, and looked at the clock.

“My, it's a late to be writing, but I want this finished today. I guess I'll just sleep in a bit tomorrow.” she said to no one in particular. She took a drink of water, and began to write.

CHAPTER 21

CLIMB

APEN: *Looks up at Ayran, shocked * Ayran Greenway? Fabled Nedarian architect and designer of Greenway?

AYRAN: *Carswell Thorne grin * The very one.

BERLYNE: *is not impressed * What are you doing here, Mister Greenway, and where is “here” anyway?

AYRAN: We are in an old city that I made centuries ago. It's quite embarrassing, really. Looking at the stuff I made ages ago.. *cringes * Ugh.

JOE, CHARA, AND MARCUS: *run into the room *

JOE: *sees Berlyne and Apen on the floor and rushes over to check on them*

CHARA: Berlyne! Apen! Where have you been all night? We were so worried about you.

MELLY: *runs over and licks Apen's face *

APEN: Melly! You're all right! Thank heaven.

BERLYNE: We went wandering and got lost. Then, *glares at Ayran * this man attacked Apen, so I stabbed him. *is pleased *

CHARA: *is disturbed * BERLYNE, what have I told you about stabbing people?

BERLYNE: *is unremorseful *

JOE: *walks up to Ayran * I don't appreciate you attackin' my so- er- daughter's boyfr- er-- the person to which I am a father figure.

AYRAN: Oh, yeah, buddy? What'cha gon' do 'bout that?

JOE: Nothing, because I am a pacifist. But I will glare at you. *glares at Ayran *

MARCUS: Oh no! Not the glare!

APEN AND CHARA: The glare!!!

BERLYNE: What. The what. Is going on.

AYRAN AND JOE: *have a staring contest *

*music begins to play. Cut to Marcus playing the Jaws theme on the violin he was playing last chapter *

AYRAN: *blinks *  No!!! I have been vanquished!

JOE: Heck yeah ya have! *begins to dance the Cotton Eyed Joe *

MARCUS: *begins to play the Cotton Eyed Joe *

BERLYNE: Daddy? Um- are you alright? CHARA: It's his victory dance, Berlyne. You've lived with him for nineteen years, you know this.

MARCUS: Yeah, Berlyne, even I know that! * continues to play Cotton Eyed Joe, but joins in the dancing.

AYRAN: *is sulking in corner *

BERLYNE: Marcus. You can't play the violin and talk, much less dance. This is impossible, what is going on?

MARCUS: *kindly, like speaking to a very stupid small child* *still playing and dancing* Berlyne, Berlyne, Berlyne. You lowly little mortal. You have hardly seen my powers at work.

BERLYNE: W- Excuse me? MARCUS: You all thought that I was Marcus, a little hipster librarian. No. That form is past me now. I will now show you who I really am.

*a bright light flashes, and a shirtless faun with a red scarf stands in Marcus' place *

MARCUS: That's right. I am Mr. Tumnus!

BERLYNE: I am so confused.  *turns to Apen* Apen, what is going on?

APEN: *is with Chara, over next to Mr. Tumnus. He is making :baby_apen: face.*

APEN AND CHARA: *in unison *  MR TUMNUS?!?! MARCUS: Yes, my children. I am.

BERLYNE: *:shooketh * I AM SO DARN CONFUSED.

IDONY: *enters * What's going on?

MARCUS: Ah, my love. I have shown my true form. Maybe it is time for yours.

BERLYNE: what

IDONY: *sailor moon transformation sequence *  *becomes casserole lady from Velv's trial *  Yes, and I am Casserole Lady!

AYRAN: *horrified * NO! NOT CASSEROLE LADY! *falls over *

BERLYNE *checks pulse * Okay, he's dead. Guys, this is really weird.

EVERYONE – BERLYNE: No it's not!

BERLYNE: AH! I got it! This is a dream, right?

EVERYONE- BERLYNE: NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

*the scene goes black *

END.

“Ah!” Laura awoke with a start. She squinted at her surroundings. She was in front of her computer.

“Wow, that was a crazy dream. I must have fallen asleep while writing.” She moved the computer mouse a bit, waking up the screen.

CHAPTER 21

CLIMB

APEN: *Looks up at Ayran, shocked * Ayran Greenway? Fabled Nedarian architect and designer of Greenway?

AYRAN: *Carswell Thorne grin * The very one.

BERLYNE: *is not impressed * What are you doing here, Mister Greenway, and where is “here” anyway?

AYRAN: We are in an old cit

“Huh, I fell asleep mid-sentence. I must have been exhausted.” She turned off her computer and went to bed.

THE END

(More!) TSE as tumblr

@tseappreciationweek

[accidental-spice]

Lockscreen request: either Noah or Berlyne (TSE) + green/blue, please!

Here ya go!!

Ask game

[sailforvalinor]

For the character ask bingo: Donna Noble, Martha Jones, Melete Dolan, Berlyne Alvarado, and Rose Campbell, please?

Oooooh good choices!

Donna:

Donna is great, and I ended up liking her a lot more than I expected!!

Martha:

This makes it seem like I hate Martha—I don’t, I really don’t, I actually like the way she serves the plot…but it does seem unfortunate that most of what she does is makes the audience miss Rose. It’s not very fair, but I like how the show is aware that this is unfair and kind of addresses it? But that’s a whole other can of worms—she’s definitely not my favorite, but I like a lot of her s4 plotlines after she’s not one-sided pining for Ten.

Melete:

After those most recent updates, Melete is on THIN ICE. She was never my favorite to begin with, but after what she did to Danny Boy? Unacceptable.

Berlyne:

I don’t have a ton of opinions on her, other than I like her a lot and I absolutely ADORE her and Apen together.

Rose Campbell:

Rose is great, I will take no criticism about her, and I relate to her in a lot of ways (though I’m certainly not as extroverted)!

[tseappreciationweek]

This is unfinished, but here’s a half-done Berlyne.

Happy TSE Week!
