I'm at the airport, and it just came to me that I should write a modern au where Roy and Ed meet at an airport. Roy would be headed to New York, and Ed would be headed overseas to Germany, and both of their flights would get canceled due to an unforeseen storm. They have to sleep at the airport and wait for their flights to be rebooked. In the meantime, they go on a series of dates at the airport (or just one long date), and they fall in love, but eventually have to go their separate ways.
I'll figure out more of the details later...
#royed#i don't know why i didn't think of this earlier#i'm always at the airport#i design airports#also gates D21-26 are the best gates to sleep at at SeaTac

I followed you because you share great George stuff and I love George but you are so cruel and just downright offensively rude to Lewis that I can't follow you anymore.
didn't even say a single word about that guy but okay.
#answered#if you think i'm 'cruel and just downright offensively rude' then.... idk i dont think you have seen people#who actually post stuff like that.#and as always - this is not airport mate

a large amount of time I've been spending on -untitled undefined scope original fiction project- since the last time I posted about it has been trying to develop the protagonist concept I came up with last summer or whatever into like, a character that would feel real and era appropriate.
it's fun research to do. naturally a lot of the details I assigned to her are things that I already think are cool, so it's been a lot of fun trying to trace her traits back through the relatively recent past, getting reminded of how much things have changed, or where the gaps in my intuition are, and then doing a flurry of reading to get a sense for exactly how someone like her and the people around her could have happened and what her life was probably like leading up to her present day. hopefully this results in some good good verisimilitude.
#I wrote a short story from her perspective over the holidays and then didn't know how to continue it#and then I got distracted by real life stuff for a few months#I forget if I posted about that#and then I've been picking through archive dot org for the last few weeks looking at this stuff#the last big rabbit hole was trying to get a better feel for era appropriate ts/tv subculture#the current one I'm looking at is how she would've gotten into language learning and how that would've worked#nettle has been prodding me about the setting thing lately so I've been thinking about that more too#probably the biggest hurdle by far is figuring out how I want to play that#and how I want the thing to be divided up#since the original coc scenario I'm developing this out of is centered on a flight from LA to honolulu#and the airport dungeon was definitely meant to be a hook for a larger campaign#some amount of it is going to cover protag lady's failed life in LA and some of it is going to be worse things happening in hawaii#but it's like. how much do I want to balance it one way or the other#and realistically how much does the aesthetics of 20th century air travel add to the story#besides me personally thinking it's compelling ofc#a lot of what I find compelling about hawaii is that it's an east/west cultural crossroads and realistically that's also true of socal#and I can wax poetic about socal as much as I want without worrying all that much about mishandling something#and there's also a lot of socal specific history along similar parallels to pull from that I'm more familiar with#I guess it comes down to whether curiosity re: 'doing it right' is enough of a motivator to do the increased amount of research#which I guess it has so far with the above character details. so hopefully that will continue#but it also feels like using machine translation a bit yknow. it's hard to know how effectively I'll be able to sanity check#although depending on where this goes I might be able to get other people involved to sensitivity read down the line#with most of the creative things I do I just have a tendency to always rely really heavily on figuring things out myself#I also want protag lady to have a Cool Car and idk how to get that from point a to point b narratively#this is like an entire second or third post's worth of tags but I don't feel like unfucking this so whatever. suffer. I guess.

every new gay person i meet thinks they're being funny and original when i tell them i like hockey/sports in general and they're like "um... why 😝" like goddamn not only are you reinforcing negative stereotypes you can't even come up with a new joke to do it. do better

It's always interesting to hear about people's weird/unexpected "alternate life paths". Like, something that you could have done with your life, a job you almost took, a school you almost went to, etc - that was still actually realistic enough that it could have happened, but NOW it seems to not suit your current personality.
Like for example, I currently hate advertising (how manipulative it is, brands trying to be 'relatable', social media amplifying it to an obnoxious extreme, etc.) so much that even seeing a little ad before a youtube video is grating to even witness, but there was a point in time where I was genuinely seriously considering going into marketing/making commercials as a career lol. Or like, I have a relative who was very inclined to be a pastor when they were younger, even though today they're a super strong atheist, etc. etc.
#BECAUSE I knew I really liked filming and editing things and doing set design and costume design (from having done little bits of that#here and there in media classes and my own stuff - i used to be a lot more into making videos than I am now). BUT I was always thinking#that a movie is WAAY to big and long. even a short film. So I was trying to think of ways I could still like#have the fun of scouting locations to film and dressing up actors and etc. etc. without it having to be a Huge Million Dollar Production#on tv show or movie level. SO then I was thinking about like... just doing commercials. Or music videos. Like shorter things where I still#get the fun of the filming and everything but it's less of an intensive long term project.#So there is an alternate version of me (I suppose if i somehow did not end up having physical and mental health issues#as badly somehow.. or like.. randomly came into wealth and was able to pay my way through a nice college despite missing#days constantly being out because I'm sick or something lol) that works in some corporate advertising office coming up with commercials#and directing or filming them or doing the sets for them or something in that general vicinity.#I also was considering being a corporate psychologist. or whatever its called.. oh from google:#''Industrial and organizational (I/O) psychologists study and assess individual group and organization dynamics in the workplace''#I don't think I even knew what the job entailed. I was at the time just thinking like.. the type of person that comes into a business offic#and gives everyone personality assessments or does MBTI or big-5 testing crap for whatever reason that some businesses get that#done for people. Really i just wanted to be in a Corporate Big Office setting yet still do psychology. Because I used to be really fixated#on living in a big city. Like the ideas of everything being walkable. picking up a coffee in the morning. walking to my job in a Big#Skyscraper Building. people watching in a huge hotel lobby for lunch. flying frequently (I love airplanes and airports aesthetically).#living in an apartment with a giant window overlooking the city. etc. etc. BUT that was before i had really BEEN to a city. Then I actually#hung around a city a few times and went places and I was like... AUGh... The Sensory Overwhelm.. cars people lights loudness noise scary#everything happening all at once. etc. etc. (though even when I wanted to live in a city i NEVER strove for the Night Life. when i say I#enjoy city imagery I mean like... in the day time. Many people who like cities talk about The Night Life and post pictures of cities all#lit up at night and clubs and dancing and restaurants. none of that EVER appealed to me. perhaps a sign I am not a real city person. Like#I am NOT standing in a crowded bar full of loud people in the middle of the night lol.. get AWAY from me!!) but I do adore the#architecture of like bright white clean sterile modern spaces like huge airport lobbies or malls or etc. I think thats what reminded me of#city and what I liked about the idea of that life. Like I always LOVED the layout of schools and hospitals and trainstations and public#transport in general. Though even then I knew enough that I would not be a good architect/city planner. so I guess my adoration for those#spaces was merely to be channeled into LIVING there. but then I realized I didn't even really want to do that that much. I mean I still#definitely aim to live NEAR a city. like the little areas outside of it. I would never live in a rural place 4 hours from anything. I liter#ally just COULDNT since I need close access to hospitals sometimes lol. But I used to want to live in the CENTER of citites like high rise#condo. and now I'm like.... eh....... perhaps a smaller quieter walkable space nearby lol.. ANYWAY.. alternate me in my Business Suit eheh

gt my heart, lionheart is insanely good and im now up to the triwizard tournament so i can't stalk your blog to read everything you've ever said about your work YET (but i will, i want to know every detail about your writing process and choices for characters and everything else; for now im enjoying author's notes) and well, i just wanted to say, thank you for the visuals, cause today i woke up from a lionheart dream - castle adventure with the lh-four, never wanted to be 15 again before lol
You're very welcome, and thank you for the kind words! (Or perhaps I should apologize — being 15 again sounds like quite the trial, even if you are in a magical castle, and perhaps especially so then. Certainly Draco's got mixed feelings about it.)
#I absolutely love a good book-I'm-reading-dream#I never seem to have them about Harry Potter they're always mundane#i'm usually in some sort of hotel or airport and there's something I've forgotten#vaguely stressful and yet never quite at nightmare level#anyway! <3

as sun tzu once said in art of war, "you can't wear dirty shoes on an airplane, it's disrespectful to the sky, and possibly also the flight attendants, depending on how dirty the shoe is. wait, how dirty are we talking? let me see these dirty shoes. yeah, that's the stuff"
#you'd be surprised how close this is to art of war actually#he is always talking about the enemy's flanks. i'm saying#anyway this is why they outlawed bootblacks. in the airport. when was the last time you saw one? because of homophobia#it's all a big conspiracy to disrespect the sky; longtime lgbt+ ally and creator of the rainbow. like from the flag

This was really the most painful video I've ever edited. I'm sorry about the heartbreaking song, but I needed to get it out before I can edit something less crushing. I'm still not over it (and probably never will be) but I hope you like this nonetheless. This is just a side blog btw (@movrings). You can also watch the video here on YT. I would love for you to leave a comment ♥ Also huge thank you goes out to @scratchybeardsweetmouth!
#tedbecca#ted x rebecca#ted lasso#I'm sorry for breaking any hearts#but I can barely hold it together myself#I really thought I would cope by now#the airport scene just fucking kills me every time#they will always be my endgame#my edit

Not sure there's much worse than landing in Heathrow. Or any English airport for that matter. Just gross, crowded and disorganised places istg. Every single time I'm at Heathrow the plane is delayed leaving, or there's issues with the gate bridge thingy if I'm landing. I actually don't get how it's every single fucking time. Obviously my feelings are going to be partly because of not wanting to be back in England. I'm happy here normally, love it here sometimes even. But coming back here from Finland is the worst
#doesn't help at all that I'm pretty nich always going to/ coming from finland#Helsinki Vantaa is elite airport#just the best honestly#so calm and well organised#the toilets are all playing bird music there#it's incredible

idk if this problematic in some way but i keep hope for a free palestine alive by being mad
#the people i put in power are denying w genocide snd smiling at me the whole time#the supreme court is going to take on a case abt whther the unhoused deserve blankets and pillows#medicine and food get more and more expensive and the rich continue to get richer#the commander in chief that I VOTED FOR bypassed congress#—not for student loans‚ or to stop building the wall (WHY are we still fucking building it!)#but to fund millions to israel. to kill innocent men women and children.#and i'm 21 and im wondering if the world has always been like this or if i'm just opening my eyes and growing up#so many things i've been taught by the US that i have to question#along with being angry a lot of my hope has been in ordinary people#from those blocking freeeways and airports and boats to the person who's been writing free palestine on my uni's white boards#in any case this is just a really long rant. i don't think any of us will be the same.#as always#free palestine

I think I understand Antigone and I'm making this no one else's problem but my own. I can deal with my own devices even if those devices always break. I'm not trying to complain. I'm not complaining. I know this has to be right but I'm still here laying on the couch. world's smallest violin or whatever they say. if you go know you go as one beloved although you go without your mind.
#who can FUCKING grow me a new brother pardon my language#it’s even WORSE than you guys know literally the only person with the context here is gurt and that’s bc she spent half a month visiting#like i literally cannot explain how much this hurts why can’t i ever fucking keep anything in my life#why do i always have to be the girl who loses things why is this what God has for me why can’t i just have something to hold onto#my sister in law is leaving WE'RE TAKING HER TO THE AIRPORT tomorrow TOMMOROW#and she's the ONLY person im this safe with the ONLY person who I have like this#I'm laying on the couch freaking crying. I can't imagine being in this house without her. I don't WANT to be in this house without her#and I didn't hug my brother before he left#I'm not going to see them again for over a year and I didn't hug him before he left and it's worse than you all know#and I just fucking want something to keep#again. pardon my language#Lu rambles#sometimes I think I could write poetry

Hmm okay rant incoming once again just need somewhere to#Is been resting inside me for years and I think maybe I should just get it out finally so like don't read. I mean you can if you want but..#recently I realized that he hit my dad when he was a kid and so now I hate him hate him#My mom's always hated him too because of the way he treated my dad's sister versus him#She's so spoiled god#Once my mom told me how they both came to the airport and when my dad arrived he didn't even get up but when she arrived he got up#Before she even was there and greeted her with open arms like hmm okay#And the his computer screen savers was just a sideshow and ofc most if not all of them were her and not one was my dad#Back to the she's so spoiled comment she literally just took whatever she wanted when she came to my grandparents house#I'm not even kidding it was even their cars#Oh she took all of my dad's legos without a word to him. He wanted to give them to my sister so he went to find them and they just weren't#Like you couldnt have even asked ??Think she took his chess set too maybe. Yk lots of things like that#And this is kind of why I was born now that I think about it#My mom felt that my dad didn't have anything of his own so she wanted him to have a kid. Like she wouldn't have had a child if she didn't#Think that#Why did she tell me this anyway#I dint mind but I think lots of parents would not tell their kids that#But yk there are some things she could keep to herself. Like did I need to know where and after what meal I was conceived. No not really.#Wait no I'm literally in the exact room right now aren't I....#How did I get here in my rambling damn it I did not need to think about that

#shattered my phone screen now every photo has shards of refracted light over my face#will finally be chopping off my hair in a few days after such a long spell of being too messed up and depressed to take care of it#hasn't been this long since i was a kid#it's so scraggly#my body dysmorphia makes it next to impossible to register what i look like these days though#which is why i'm scared to post these but i'm doing it anyway fuck it#i was deer in the headlightsing in that second pic idc if my eyes look offputting and lopsided it's part of my charm.#“and now i'm aaalllll alooone in carsit land my only home”#funny thing about what i was wearing here is the jacket is what i've always referred to as my crash jacket bc it looks so much like the#one james wears except his is a dark brown and has buttons#and then ofc my shirt reminds me of the deep blue pajamas he wears in the airport hospital. etc. i was ballarded out#but then you've got the stargate(esque) glasses and things start getting mixed up#anyway i can't really see myself might delete if i feel too scared about looking like animated roadkill....................................#self#00
