i am so in awe of you for talking to brennan lee mulligan. ok i have to know now... how did you make that happen

i happen to live in los angeles -ish area so the distance wasn't the issue

back in february, dropout posted this

and they had a list of shows ppl could go to!

also i regularly go to the shows of Yeti, the improv team consisting of zac, ally, lou, vic, jacob, and a few others (who are on make some noise this season! i want an entire episode of just yeti!!!!!), and one day brennan opened for them as well, so this is actually my third time seeing him.

my second time seeing him was running into him at an apple store, but that's neither here nor there.

michigan flag in your artist bio???? (i am also michigan so that is why i ask)

it’s the maine flag! i almost went for the original flag from 1901 because it’s more distinctive than other state flags that look similar, but it’s not the official one anymore unfortunately :/

One of my fav versions of Codywan is with Cody who serves absolute darcyesque cunt. I'm talking Cody who maybe falls a little bit in love-at-first sight with his general and panics and absolutley overcompensates with strict professionalism to the point of rudeness. Who shores up his vulnerabilities like defenses on a battlefield and takes to protecting them with the same gusto he applies battlefield tactics to.

A cup of tea with the general? Surely he has better things to be doing with his time. There's an army to run. (He's never wanted to say yes to anything more in his life.)

The first time he recovers Obi-Wan's lightsaber he brusqueley returns it with a stern warning about irresponsibility. (He stays up that night remembering it's weight in his hand, how it almost felt happy to be there?)

And then wearing down inevitably, waves against the shore, worn down to smoothness until they fit together perfectly and it's just. Oh. Where do we go from here.

Just. Them falling in love without meaning to. Them falling in love without wanting to! Can love bloom! Even on a battlefield!

if they'd done a jane austen episode in s8 or 9 it could have been kind of cool but you know when clara and austen weren't making out (<- canon event) they'd have been on some cringe and undeserved twelve-is-darcyesque shit

🍰💖 do both this time /lh

💖What do you like best about your own writing?

This is a bit silly but -- that it makes me laugh.

I usually include jokes and situations in my work because they? genuinely amuse me! And reading back, when I can stomach it, I get a lot of joy out of feeling like a joke landed, or that I got timing right or described something in a really amusing way.

I also really like that I think I care about character a lot. I love to show who a person is in little things; what they like to eat and drink, how they spend their free time, what they choose to wear and how they wear it. I love describing the spaces people inhabit-- bedrooms, offices-- what do they surround themselves with. I believe that soul is encapsulated in a bunch of small aspects.

Lastly I would say I'm proud of the research I do, specifically regarding past eras. Historical accuracy mean a lot to me, but I also cherish nostalgia as a central part of my work. If a character is watching TV or eating cereal, I'm going to make sure that show or brand is true to the world I've put my story in.

🍰What are some comfort fics of yours?

I got a few classics. A lot of what makes a 'comfort' fic of mine comes down to things I actually enjoy reading and often admire, and use as goalposts for my own work. When you can enjoy a fic like literature, and it lets you see characters in a new light, you keep coming back.

This is sort of an honorable mention but I read a lot of NorriBeth fics back in the day on fanfiction.net. It's a favorite ship I always treasured, and I still stand by it, even if learning that Keira Knightly's age was much younger than her character's was a bit of a 'woof' moment (17 vs 19, I know it's not a lot but geez, UK age of consent, cmon now...). So many of my favorite fics are literally lost either to time or to the deteriorating watery grave of the FFN platform, but they forever have my heart.

Of the ones that survived Davy Jones' Locker, I adored Bound in her bones by snowbryneich.

A 27 chapter masterpiece of romantic tension, featuring a realistic take on arranged marriage of convenience to lovers with an empowered and relatable Elizabeth, a Darcyesque Norrington, an perfect historical accuracy to the nines. I was fucking riveted, and the same author did a couple other great ones, such as 'Fresh As A BrideGroom'. Other than that, I would be remiss to answer this without touching on one of my all time favorite fics, In A Strange Land by @mrs-evadne-cake, a phenominal writer who I'm sure is tired of both the Stranger Things fandom at large and also me, this specific fanfic author greenhorn, continually singing her praises. It almost embarasses me to gush MORE about it, especially since the author is an honest to god professional. I've written on it before, it's well paced, well crafted, terrifying, and exceptional use of every character. The kids are well written and adorable, the teens are nuanced and REAL in a way the show never grasped. There's enough Steve to sate my voracious need to watch his character development, and I even got a bit of Murray who is probably my weirdest blorbo of all time. If a fic is a weapon, this fic is a mythic one-of-a-kind sword, OP is a legendary dwarven blacksmith, and i am an awestruck lil hobbit apprentice hastily scribbling notes. If I had to rate my favorite Stranger Things seasons it would go like this: 1. Season 3

2. In A Strange Land

3. Season 2

4. Season 1

5. Season 4

That's all I have to say about that.

Third space I would say is a tie between : Praise You by HeartlessMemo, which is a master class on erotica and plus size bodies, but speaks to me personally as a bulimic and will likely touch anyone with body issues. It's hot, it's passionate, it's kinky as hell. Nandermo from WWDITS at its absolute best.

And the other one is A Bastard's Carol by scumbaganarchy @scumbaganarchy, who I have been honored to get to know as of late! What the hell do you want me to say. It's 'A Christmas Carol' with the entire Rik Mayall cinematic universe. Not only is funny, but it's also touching, genuinely heartwarming, treats all these bizarre characters like real, breathing people. I cozy up to it every holiday when I can with a hot drink, it's a true classic and just goes to show that passion and creative understanding of any fandom no matter how niche can produce something really meaningful. This fic is the pride of the 1980s Bitish Anarchocomedy Fandom of the modern era, and any Young Ones (or Bottom) fan should give it a look.

Excellent points. I've always loved Emma because I see her as trapped by her father who appears kind, but is in reality incredibly manipulative. Now Emma is 21 but she has never been away from the village where she grew up. The Picnic at Box Hill is the edge of her universe. She believes she is in control of her life, but her choices and her company are incredibly limited. This is why she builds Harriet up in her mind to be her equal. She needs to have a friend at her level and she deliberately ignores Jane, partly because Jane is not as pliable as Harriet and partly because she is totally jealous of Jane. She's jealous of her experience outside Highbury and of the high, seemingly uncritical opinion that both Mrs Weston and Mr. Knightley have of Jane. They both see Jane as more appropriate but Emma wants the friend of her own choosing. Am I only the one who finds all of this incredibly relatable?

Anyway yeah, we never see the Good Letter. I've always had a secret head canon that Mr. Knightley wrote the Good Letter and that he was a big fat hypocrite matchmaking for his friend Robert Martin while looking down on Emma for doing the same. Who knows what Darcyesque high minded noblesse oblige BS spin he put on it to rationalize what is just a soppy romantic inability to let his friend suffer needlessly because his crush has similarly built up the vain, greedy Mr. Elton up as a romantic hero for her friend. Knightley also rejects the friendship of Elton and Frank Churchill, just like Emma rejects Jane as a companion and for similar reasons. He's sick of hearing the hype from Emma. He's jealous AF. Anyway that's my weird take and there's precious little evidence of it in the actual text. :D

Emma never allows Robert Martin to speak. The novel Emma is so fascinating because except for two sections where Knightley takes over and a few other insights, almost everything is perceived by Emma. She doesn't want to know that Robert Martin is a fine choice, so she won't listen. We also do not get to read a word of the "good letter". Emma doesn't let us.

How would we all feel if we got to read that letter? We'd probably like Emma even less!

i see in your bio that you are pro-gun! how do you think the school shootings should be prevented? or do you think that they are not a big problem

It's not as big of a problem as the media has led us to believe. They sensationalize cases of school shootings and act as though they are an epidemic when they account for like 1% or less of all crime committed.

But I think the best way to prevent school shootings is to give children protection from them. Right now, schools have to come up with their own drills for what to do if a shooter enters. They don't have a way to protect or defend kids against these criminals. They really can just run and hide and hope for the best.

We've seen from the most recent incidents that schools cannot rely on resource officers or the police to protect them. And if we take away guns from citizens then they don't have a choice but to rely on the police. And like we saw in Uvalde, sometimes police will just chill in the hall for over an hour while kids are being slaughtered a few doors down.

So I think some good steps to take would be stop making schools gun free zones. Over 90% of mass shootings happen in gun free zones. Over the years, research and studies have shown that even the possibility of a person having a gun has deterred criminals from targeting a location or victim.

We need to allow school faculty who own guns to bring them onto campus, to conceal carry them onto the property if they so choose. A gun is the best defense against another gun. It is the number one way to stop a mass shooting dead in its tracks or prevent one from happening. And we've seen that in recent events like when Elisjsha Dicken stopped a mass shooter at a mall saving countless lives. You can't stop people from committing crime, but you can give people a way to defend themselves against it.

The biggest proponents for gun control are celebrities and politicians who don't leave their homes without armed guards following them everywhere. We need to give our children the same protection celebrities and politicians give themselves.

He's here for play the most 😈 gay in corporate situation. He said: fuck Darcyesque characters, I want to play horny devil forever.

I can’t believe every time someone needs an actor to play an unhinged gay evil freak in a corporate-esque setting they just call up matthew macfadyen and he’s like “yeah sure”
