WHY AM I SO BAD AT BEING MEAN IN THE BEING MEAN UNIVERSE :(

[incorrecticonoclastsquotes]

I got bored and decided to boot up Cassette Beasts just to mess around with the character customization and replicate the four main characters, including Black.

Note that they’re not exactly 1:1, only the closest I could get to the original character designs. Elro definitely got the closest, though.

the state of the next book is that i think i need to reread UWTS and take notes while i do, and then reread the 50k i have written of the next book, and then decide if i want to start over or if i think i can edit it to be something i want

[nothing-nothing454545]

im sorry for having incorrect opinions about the character its just that i really like this one trope and i tried to transplant it unsuccessfully

[viserya-firstofhername]

Pray, listen. Though I return not from mine unnounaced hiatus.

Nor shall I swiftly resume mine Jacaerys agenda come next month, yet here I sit right now upon an 8K word draft of a meta on Mel fucking Medarda, because she might be my favourite fictional character. Ever (even with the treatment she suffered in the second season). Any gender. Any media. Yes, I am aware Athena, Katherine Pierce, Elizabeth Sloane, Thomas Shelby, book!Petyr Baelish, Maeve Millay, Beth Harmon, and Henry WInter exist.

Meanwhile, rather than ply my fingers to editing said meta—or dare I say, to sleep—I hath decided to use my gloriously evolved DaVinci Resolve skills and edit myself an explicitly Mel/Jayce/Viktor rendition of Arcane.

Lo, the fruits of my labor! 'Tis my brain—corrupted inadvertently—but also! combining all their scenes: • in s1 amounts to exactly 1:54:52 h • in s2 amounts to exactly 1:54:25 h

Mine mind hath gone unhinged over it, so I deemed it only just to bid thee join me in the unhingedness.

PS. Fortiche (save for that one animator—yall knowest who), you have my eternal love. My INTJ brain is climaxing over the message hidden within the pattern. You and your bajillion (142 and counting—should I make a series of posts/mini meta-s about them—I have the spreadsheet ready) parallels between these three give me life in the abyss that Saturn and Mercury have hewn for me recently (ngl, I'm real sym/em—pathetic with Jayce).

The reason you can't easily ascribe real-world political stances to most comic book supervillains is that in comic book reality being an iconoclast genius inventor actually works. It's not even necessarily a rich-guy thing – there are working class supervillains garage-building working time machines, which is something that unavoidably does things to a person's perspective on social responsibility.

Synopsis:

From the acclaimed author of Chef's Kiss, a groundbreaking trans Regency romance that's both delightfully witty and refreshingly iconoclastic. The notoriously eccentric Lord Christopher Eden is a “man of unusual make” and even more unusual habits: he prefers to live far from the prying eyes and ears of the ton, and would rather have the comfortable company of his childhood cook and his aged butler than the swarm of servants and hangers-on befitting a man of his station. But Christopher’s pleasant, if occasionally lonely life is upended when he receives word from his lawyers that, according to his late father’s will, he must find a wife by the end of the Season if he intends to keep his family’s fortune and the Eden estate. Christopher cannot imagine a worse fate: as he isn’t attracted to women, his chances of making a wife happy are slim. Furthermore, if his quest to marry has any hope of succeeding, he must move to London posthaste and acquire some more suitable staff. Enter James Harding, Christopher’s new, distractingly handsome—if rigidly traditional—valet. After a rocky start, the two strike up a fragile friendship amid the throes of the London Season . . . a friendship that threatens to shatter under the looming shadow of Christopher’s impending nuptials—and the secrets both men are keeping. With its heady combination of dry wit, slow-burn romance, and a nuanced portrait of trans identity, A Gentleman’s Gentleman stands to transform the historical romance genre as we know it.
