7, 8 and 9 for the WIP asks?

Thanks for the ask, friend! 💜💜 I'm supposed to be grading essays, but this is more fun 😉😊

7. What is your favorite scene you've written so far? The fic I'm working on "Mr. President Elect", based on an unaired scene I recently discovered. The whole fic takes place in Jed's old office in New Hampshire. This might be cheating, but my favorite scene isn't actually mine, but it's the original scene that I'm using as a basis for the fic. It's got everything, Jed saying "what's next" seven times in twenty seconds, Abbey looking great in her red suit and Josh and Toby acting like silly twelve-year-olds they are. 😅😅 Jed and Abbey are the parents and Josh and Toby are the unruly kids.

8. What is the last scene you've written? This one is mine lol! Jed and Abbey are alone in his office and Jed's going through a crisis, but Abbey is there to support him. There's some mandatory Bartlet banter, gratuitous nerdiness (references to ex presidents and founding fathers abound, and there's a reference to Rudyard Kipling) but there's also softness and gentleness between them. I also managed to mention the unnamed general without making it sound silly 😂😂

9. What is your favorite dialogue written so far?

“If you’re President Elect, does that make me First Lady Elect?” she asked. That got Jed’s attention. He turned to face her and lifted her hand to his lips, kissing her knuckles.  “Yeah… No one elected you, boo boo.” “You’re saying the red dress I wore to that fundraiser in New York didn’t help one bit? Or the visit to the children’s hospital in Pittsburgh? If they wanted a first lady who would only talk about carpets and wallpaper in the Red Room, they shouldn't have voted for you.” Jed laughed. “Why do I have a feeling we’ll be having this conversation many times in the next four years, Susan B. Anthony?” “Because we are,” Abbey cooed.  “Yeah,” Jed agreed. 

There are also some other bits of dialogue that I really enjoyed writing, but they're not quite finished yet.

you know what really grinds my gears

I’m that type of friend who REALLY get’s into a show so after watching the part 2 finale of THE GET DOWN  (already knowing that the show got cancelled while watching episode 4 of part 2) the first thing that pass thru my mind was ‘oh well back to the real world’’ and no i don’t mean like ‘oh is not the 70′s anymore’ but more like I’M BACK TO WATCHING THE SAME TYPICAL WHITE LEAD SHOWS i’m not saying i hate white people but damm if this tipe of shit doesn’t let you know the kind the world that we live in then i don’t know what will, this is coming from someone who’s some of my favorite shows are Friday Night Lights,Sons of Anarchy,Vikings,Game of Thrones,Dear White People,Daredevil,Luke Cage,Narcos,Shameless,Bloodline,Parks and Recreation and it's always sunny in philadelphia just to mention a few.

“there’s some things you just wouldn’t understand.” / “how many times i gotta tell you? i’m not a little kid anymore.” / “i know. and maybe in an alternate universe that would make a difference. [...] it’s just the past couple days just really got me thinking—you know, life is short. and if you’re an alien, you gotta not apologize for being an alien. you gotta join with the universe and just be.”

aNYWAYS PART TWO OF THE GET DOWN IS THE FINEST PIECE OF TELEVISION IN HISTORY

[idealuk]

So, I’ve finished my binge of the first season of “The Get Down,” ...

... and, on one hand, I want it to never end, and it needs to be renewed immediately, because I need to know that my (Thor’s) Dizzee is alive!, but, on the other, the 1980s are fast approaching in the predominant era, and the plague that came with them would have specifically targeted my five favourites (Dizzee, Thor, Shaolin, Mylene, and Jackie), and I don’t want to see any of them fall to it, and the only one we know is still alive in ‘99 is Ezekiel/Books. More seasons are definitely needed, because there are too many other unanswered questions, like ‘How did Shaolin finally escape Annie’s grip?’ and ‘Did Boo-Boo, and Thor, just become victims of the prison industrial complex in America or did they get the justice that they deserve by there being more to their stories?,’ but, please, let this show gracefully end before reality would demand that the lives of the progressive characters are met with utter peril.
