Catalyst

so in my au which i'm totally not using to cope or anything haha, after realizing that curly isn't going to do anything about jimmy, anya confides in swansea and he goes Protective Dad Mode. i'm calling this the "Responsibility AU." ramble below cut.

swansea doesn't immediately go after jimmy with an axe or anything because 1. they're not in a high stress life/death crash situation and 2. anya specifically requests that swansea not enact violence upon jimmy after swansea says, and i quote, "i'm gonna beat his ass." anya just wants to feel safer and more supported on the ship—she doesn't want swansea to get in trouble even if jimmy does deserve to get destroyed by 10000 punches.

what swansea can do is watch out for anya and make sure she's never alone in a room with jimmy. if there's a situation where she has to be alone with jimmy (like the psych evals), she and swansea have a system where she can signal for help. with anya's permission, swansea asks daisuke to help look out for her too (without telling him the details as to why since that's anya's right to share or not). daisuke has already picked up at this point that something is wrong based on how much more hostile swansea's become towards jimmy, and he trusts his boss, so he agrees without much question.

anya, feeling less alone now that she has people watching her back, gains more confidence to stand up to jimmy. which makes him angry because his unwanted advances are being denied and swansea and daisuke keep getting in his way. he just can't understand why he's being treated as the bad guy here (this is because he is a delusional asshole).

meanwhile curly is slowly realizing that he needs to actually do something here because the tension in the crew is palpable and increasing by the day. also swansea is being mighty passive aggressive to him and talking about "responsibility" a lot. curly keeps trying to talk to jimmy about it but the guy just keeps downplaying it and blaming everyone else but himself. and curly is realizing that his friend isn't who he thought he was.

it all comes to a head one day when an angry jimmy tries to confront anya alone and swansea steps in. things get heated, people start yelling. curly show up to see swansea and jimmy on the verge of fighting with anya and daisuke trying to hold them back respectively. curly breaks up the fight. jimmy storms off. curly follows him and finds him trying to get the gun from the case in the cockpit. curly asks him why he's doing this and jimmy claims it's for his own protection because he feels "threatened by swansea." he tells curly to give him the code. curly, the sheer wrongness of the whole situation hitting him, finally calls jimmy out on all his bs. jimmy just laughs in his face, still believing that he's not in the wrong and curly doesn't have the guts to do anything anyway. so the captain fires him on the spot. jimmy snaps and he and curly get into a fight in the cockpit. jimmy is trying to crash the ship and curly is trying to stop him. then the rest of the crew show up and anya knocks jimmy's ass out with the gun case. swansea is so proud.

they throw jimmy in the cryopod so they don't have to worry about him pulling anything else and he can be properly dealt with once the stupid delivery is over. everyone's like, "wow that was a close one—could you imagine how messed up it would be if we ended up in a crash because of jimmy? thank god that didn't happen." curly makes swansea the copilot until they can get a replacement and swansea's like, "goddammit as if i don't already do enough shit around here."

anyway my whole goal here was to get rid of jimmy early so i can have beautiful Found Family shenanigans in space with the rest of the crew. apologies and healing and happy times will happen. no the whole getting laid off thing doesn't happen. no i don't have an explanation for it. sorry for the essay.

Writing Notes: Fire Development

Recognizing each stage allows you to describe with accuracy how a fire can quickly increase; later we will discuss fire characteristics, which will provide you with an opportunity to describe accurately the visual features of a fire scene.

THE 4 STAGES OF FIRE DEVELOPMENT

Incipient Stage

Also known as ignition.

This first stage begins when all 4 components have resulted in a fire starting.

Easiest to control and extinguish, and given the right circumstances, may possibly burn out on its own accord before it has a chance to reach the second stage.

Growth Stage

Shortest but most sudden of the 4 stages.

Combination of oxygen and any nearby combustible material will fuel the fire.

As it progresses, gases will rapidly increase in temperature, resulting in a build-up of pressure in the room.

Fully Developed Stage

When all the combustible materials have been consumed, the fire is at its peak and will be fully developed.

At this stage, the heat will be immense, and because the room will be engulfed in flames, there will be little hope of escape or survival.

Decay Stage

If the fire is left, then this final stage will be the longest, as the fire gradually finishes its consumption – think of a bonfire that is left to burn.

The heat still remains intense, and will do for some time, which is why firefighters remain so long at a fire scene even after the flames have been extinguished.

The fire may continue to smoulder and there is a risk of pyrolysis occurring, which may result in a secondary fire.

Source ⚜ More: Writing References

EDIT

Stage One: Ignition

When the 3 elements of the fire triangle (heat, fuel and oxygen) are involved in a balanced chemical chain reaction, a fire begins.

Can also be classed as the incipient stage if the reaction is unbalanced, leading to smouldering, low temperature fire with no visible flames. This type of fire still gives off toxic gases.

The fire easiest to control and extinguish, or as close to this stage as possible.

Stage Two: Growth

The fire begins to consume the available fuel in the area or compartment.

Heat rises rapidly, and in an indoor fire a smoke layer forms at the ceiling, descending as more fuel burns.

Where present, active fire protection systems such as sprinklers or smoke alarms will activate, and passive systems such as self closing fire doors will protect escape routes. An escape should be made in this stage, as the fire will reach lethal temperatures during the growth stage.

Once the fire reaches a hot enough temperature, a transitional event called Flashover occurs. Flashover is where the heat of the fire is enough that all fuel in the room reaches a combustible temperature more or less simultaneously, including the particles of fuel in the smoke layer.

Essentially, the room erupts into a fireball all at once and if you're still in the room when it does, you've caught fire too.

Demonstration of a "Flashover" [video]

Stage 3: Fully Developed

Now all fuel elements are combusting, the fire is at its peak and is considered fully developed.

At this stage, the heat is lethal without specialist equipment to survive it.

Stage 4: Decay

This final stage will be the longest, as the fire gradually finishes its consumption – think of a bonfire that is left to burn.

The heat still remains intense, and will do for some time, which is why firefighters remain so long at a fire scene even after the flames have been extinguished.

The fire may continue to smoulder and there is a risk of pyrolysis occurring, which may result in a secondary fire.

Actually I WILL talk about Mai's seeming 'radicalisation'. With the upcoming comic, I can see why a lot of people are confused/caught offguard by Mai suddenly having a vested interest in reforming the Fire Nation's school curriculum.

However, I don't think it's as much of a heelturn as one would believe at first glance.

Mai is a difficult character to pinpoint on some levels, particularly due to her upbringing which stripped her of a lot of her self expression. I think most of the fandom underestimates the trauma and effect of Mai's upbringing. I elaborate on it here.

However, the long and short of it is that Mai was not encouraged to question, criticise or, god forbid, rebel against her enviornment. To the point where her parents scared her with stories of spirits that would kidnap her if she misbehaved.

Ukano's involvement in politics and relatively high status should also be taken into account. Mai would have grown up being strongly encouraged to conform to her father's beliefs and go along with his politics.

Mai : My mother said I had to keep out of trouble. We had my dad's political career to think about.

We've seen the propaganda and indoctrination of the Fire Nation school system, how it uses misinformation in its curriculum and how it punishes deviance.

Most fire nation children won't have the tools to find the cruelty and danger in the philosophy of the Fire Nation. Zuko had to get banished from the country to even start his deconstruction. And he had Iroh at his side to guide him.

It's not shocking that Mai would not be able to see the flaws of the Fire Nation. Despite this, she still shows no attachment to the Nation's cause, either. In fact, she actively refused to take part in the war effort when she thought she could get away with it.

I don't think Mai had much sympathy to the other nations, nor will I claim she secretly harboured anti imperialistic sentiment. I simply want to state the fact that Mai was, from a young age, forced to do things she didn't want to do and conditioned by multiple parties, to accept this. Mai has been trained to be passive, with only the method of passive aggressiveness and gloominess to defend herself.

I think after the fall of Ozai's rule and the slow restructuring of the Nation, Mai got more freedom in her life. Ukano's political role diminished, so Mai was allowed to think for herself. She gets to discover the world more and develop her own thoughts and ideals, rather than the ones she'd been forced to conform to.

This line in the upcoming comic seems to confirm my thoughts:

Mai's upbringing is the underground and darkness. She was never given an alternative or agency in her life. And thanks to Zuko, she was able to see and experience a different world than the one she was brought up with. She is able to help to try and achieve it.

Initially, Mai is angry at Zuko's joining of team Avatar. She feels betrayed and upset that he did not talk to her in person, even if it was to protect her. And yet, she saves him. While I believe that most of her motivation was genuinely out of love for Zuko. But she also, ekther inadvertently or deliberately made the choice between Azula and Zuko. Between the two potential duture leaders of the Nation.

And she chose Zuko. Who is not only the boy she loves, but also the boy who can heal her nation.

There is an argument to be made about how Mai represents the Fire Nation itself and its relationship to Zuko, but that is a topic for another day.

The theme of Mai caring for the future of the Fire Nation can be seen expanding in the comics. As 99% of the fandom will tell you, the comics have their flaws, but I do enjoy their handling of Mai for the most part.

I think it's interesting that we are shown that Mai not only wants Zuko to be Fire Lord, but for him to be a good Fire Lord.

We see her dissapointed in Zuko secretly meeting with Ozai. At first glance, what she says to Zuko is that she is dissapointed in him keeping secrets from her, which is understandable, since the last time he kept a secret from her led to him joining the opposite side of a war.

However, with her next appearance, we see that Mai may have had another concern relating to Zuko's communing with Ozai. When Ty Lee informs her of Zuko also enlisting Azula's help, Mai exclaims 'so he really is turning into his father', which seems to denote that Mai has a distaste for Ozai and his rule, whether that be from the begining, or recently acquired.

Mai also criticises Zuko's callous and controlling restrictions over the frightened townspeople. This serves to further cement the idea of Mai becoming disillusioned with the similarly inclined authority figures of her past. Authority figures who were a symptom of the Fire Nation's utilitarian and imperialistic system. We see this disdain manifesting in its full force in the teasers for the upcoming comic.

I think people tend to not realise how restricted in her self expression and thoughts Mai was, despite all the puzzle pieces being laid out for us in the show.

Mai has gone through a very quick and yet realistic episode of character growth in my opinion. Not unlike a lot of people raised in heavily Conservative and restrictive households who peel off later in life, she's settling into her own mindset and motivations.

Ans I don't think it's an unrealistic idea for Mai to want to help change the education system. The Fire Academy for girls is where she met Azula, and as an all girl school alumni, I can tell you first hand how toxic and confining these enviornments can be.

While Mai may not be seen as a particularly empathetic or kind person (though I think this interpretation is flawed), she can sympathise with the young girls who will be placed in the shoes of her younger self.

She can want to not see these kids go through what she, Ty Lee AND Azula did.

[The panels of Mai glancing between the stifling interior of the school and the open window and choosing to go outside and lead the Nation's youth outside... ugh]

Not only is this a rather logical progression for Mai's character, in my opinion, but it also feels like a very big 'healing your inner child' moment for Mai. Since she was not really seemingly allowed to be a child, as most children in the Fire Nation appeared to have such restrictions placed on them.

I don't think it's much of a stretch of the imagination that Mai would want to have at least a small part in dismantling the system that harmed her and so many other children of the nation.

She is a young woman now, she has grown from the oversheltered, apathetic teen she was in the show. She has been able to make her own informed opinions about the state of the nation, has been able to hone her trauma into determination. And it seems we're going to see the fruits of this development in "Ashes of the Academy".

I have very high hopes for the upcoming comic, since what we've seen of it appears to make a compelling story, one I relate to deeply, as well as a good study of Mai, a character I find often misinterpreted by the fandom.

It's My Party (and I'll fry if I want to) for director’s cut.

(I think this was the second Louigan fic I read from your account back when I was a lurker, lol.)

Oooo okay forgive me for how wordy this is about to be, but I had a lot of notes about IMP that I ended up publishing in a little notes fic, but I've copied them over below! I can't believe this angsty mess was the second fic you read!! Usually I lure people in with a false sense of security with all my romcom fics 😭 ahhh thank you so much for asking!!

It's My Party (and I'll fry if I want to)

I think this fic is the one I put the most thought into. I didn't want it to come off like a spite fic or anything like that, I just genuinely wanted to tell a story where they're all the good guy and the bad guy and sometimes situations are complicated

So this piece was meant for people who have been told for so long that parts of themselves weren’t worthy of love and believed it, settling for relationships where their needs aren’t met. It's told in present tense to make things feel more in the moment. I didn't shy away from passive language, especially in Louise and Rudy scenes because they are passive participants in their own life, not willing to make active changes, then I tried to use active language with Logan scenes.

Characters:

Rudy

Flaws: Easy going guy with a bit of a pushover nature. He has a tendency to let Louise take care of him in a protective role (not necessarily a flaw, but could be if taken to the extreme).

Exacerbating event: Rudy’s gone back to school to get his masters in engineering. He couldn’t juggle a full time job and coursework, so he is currently unemployed.

How it happened: Being a child of divorce with medical needs, Rudy is used to people making decisions for him and developed a go with the flow attitude towards life. After his perceived failure at juggling too much at once, Rudy retreated further into his own passive behavior in order to avoid the feelings of inadequacy that come with being an adult. This presents itself as stress avoidance, refusal to make decisions, and being easily overwhelmed by small tasks.

When Louise starts a fire, he lets it burn until he can’t ignore it, leading to an explosion. It showcases a different set of value systems that should have been addressed sooner in their relationship but isn’t because of his lax behavior. In this story, just because he goes along with her doesn’t mean he supports her.

Logan

Flaws: Stubborn, escalates situations, egotistical

Exacerbating event: Logan never received closure from him and Louise’s fling.

How it happened: Catalyst shit-eater. Logan and Louise are like minded individuals, often expressing desire for the same thing but on opposing teams (continuing the biker fight, using military tactics for territory on a snowy hill, revenge on whoever wrongs them). Relying on a bit of cultural stereotyping of upper middle class cis white boys, Logan would struggle with expressing feelings of intimacy. In a fling where people don’t communicate clear desires or boundaries, it is possible to cross wires on what is sex and what is something more. In this, Logan would be confused about what he feels for Louise. It makes it even harder when he tries to have a conversation about their relationship and she cuts him out. He moves away having never fully understood what happened between them.

His stubbornness and lack of respect for those around him culminate in him trying to get back with Louise even while she’s in a relationship. Does he know if he actually wants to date her if he succeeds? The reader doesn’t know, but it also doesn’t matter. He is willing to manipulate the situation to his benefit, even honestly admitting to what he’s doing. He is what Louise is missing in her relationship: someone who understands her while still being fun and taking care of himself. Because his flaws are so apparent, breaking up with Rudy to date Logan is a dangerous option.

Louise

Flaws: Struggles communicating feelings though she feels deeply, avoids blame, and money driven

Exacerbating event: Working in a kitchen that isn’t with her family gives her weird hours and normalizes self destructive tendencies

How that works: Louise wants to be the one in charge that takes care of others, godfather style. Combining this with her struggle to express feelings of intimacy (think doesn’t want to admit she has a crush on BooBoo, not admitting she looks up to Bob), Louise isn’t adept at communicating her own needs in a relationship, as her control issues don’t want her to believe that she does need things from others.

Restaurant kitchens can often be breeding grounds for toxic behavior: a combination of high stress, poor sleep, substance abuse as a coping mechanism and aggressive management styles. Kitchens can attract people who don’t have the resources to seek help, which would have exposed Louise to “horror story” relationships to be avoided. None of these factors would be conducive to Louise working through needing more from Rudy, especially when he contradicts her expressing herself in other ways. He shuts her down when she says something violent, which may be for her own good in the long run but it’s not what she needs in the moment.

When she tries to express issues with Rudy, she misdirects and uses an easier topic for her to communicate: money. Financial stress is a huge factor in relationship issues. She brings it up because it’s her way of saying she’s putting more effort into the relationship than Rudy. Rudy sees this as her reminding him of his own inadequacies and shuts down.

Not getting reactions from him, she turns to Logan, who will give her a reaction, who will help her start the fire, and who gives her the attention she needs even if it’s from a selfish place. To her, at least he’s upfront about it. Louise doesn’t need to work with Logan or take care of him. It alleviates the stress of responsibility that’s been weighing her down.

While within the show her family is a support system, in this fic she feels alienated from them, specifically Tina who didn’t approve of her first relationship with Logan due to the very real risk of falling into unhealthy behaviors. Louise interprets this as her family believing her wants are inherently “wrong” and she internalizes the message that she is a bad person for wanting what’s wrong. Rudy unintentionally reinforces this messaging, and that’s why the climax of the fic involves Logan calling her “good” every time she vocalizes a desire.

Motifs and symbols:

Watching TV with someone

Louise is watching TV three separate times with Rudy. All three times, she has to make space for his wants; pausing so he can speak, turning off the volume so he’s not startled by loud noises, and turning it off completely after his digital detox retreat.

Louise watches TV once with Logan, and he’s an active participant.

When Louise tries to engage them in media: Rudy can’t follow her train of thought but Logan plays along

Tearing paper labels as a nervous habit

Open with Louise trying to take a label off without tearing it. It’s her desire to end things but not hurt anyone. She keeps ripping the paper, guaranteeing she will hurt someone.

Logan disregards the ripped paper. He pushes the balled up pieces of paper off the bar and to the floor. He does not care about the hurt they might cause others. He takes the label off her beer for her. He’s willing to hurt others for the end result.

Logan tells her the answer is patience. In Louise’s perspective, she can’t act rashly even though her instinct is to explode. If she takes her time explaining what’s going through her head, there’s less of a chance she’ll hurt someone.

In Logan’s perspective, his end goal (sleeping with Louise) also requires patience. He’s telling her he will be patient.

The last label, the wine, is unnoticed by Louise. She is past the point of caring if she hurts someone

Food

Food is effort

Louise’s life is dedicated to food and therefore effort. She works in a kitchen, where her effort is rarely rewarded and leaves her tired. She cooks soup for Rudy, and he doesn’t eat it

Logan made dinner for himself. It’s not great, but he tried. Louise makes it better. They put in effort for themselves but the other benefits

Rudy’s efforts are: To order food in (reliance on others), Cook boxed stroganoff (only contribute minimum), And to forget to turn on the oven (cannot finish a task)

Logan is seen ordering treats that are more expensive or require a trip, because he puts in effort for what he wants

The climax is revealed that Logan is improving his cooking. Not because Louise told him to, but he wanted to be better

Again, it comes from a place of ego, but it doesn’t matter. Rudy lacks the ego and the ability to put in effort. Louise seeks the opposite of Rudy, and Logan is the opposite in the extreme.

Orgasms

Allowing for pleasure. Rudy can’t bring it, Louise can’t find it, Logan won’t let it go

Flowers

Empty promises. They look nice but they don’t solve anything. Begonias are a bad omen (Try to move past this one like a throwaway line so flower symbolism isn’t so heavy handed)

Noisy neighbors

With Rudy, it’s a sign of external disruption and lack of peace With Louise and Logan, they ARE the noisy neighbors, causing the disruption and chaos

Louise is an unreliable narrator

She always calls the bartender a different Eli name. His real name is Erik, but she was too drunk to read properly

Louise cries but doesn’t realize it like when she’s driving away after Rudy doesn’t eat the soup. Rudy assumed the soup was something she was testing for work, not something for him to eat. She cries a second undisclosed time

Rudy knows she’s hiding something, but because she doesn’t think he can tell when she’s lying it never comes up. Undetermined if he knows she’s cheating on him

Louise never makes a note of the good things Rudy does. He does listen to her vent but sets boundaries for his own safety. When she gets aggressive, it scares him, but Louise considers it proof that she’s a bad person he can’t handle

Logan is intentional

Every time it’s revealed that Rudy is incapable of meeting one of Louise’s needs, Logan turns around and proves that he can meet that need. He is doing it purposefully to persuade her away from Rudy He dresses up whenever Louise comes over, purely to make himself more attractive. When he’s wearing white, he’s being manipulative

Biggest mistakes

-Louise refuses to communicate openly and cheats -Rudy struggles to be an active agent in his own life while discouraging Louise in hers. Most noticeably by refusing to fix the shower head and telling her to calm down -Logan refuses to soften his ego or make himself safer

Mood Music (for myself)

Love Again - Run the Jewels (for the sex scene) Judy’s Turn To Cry - Lesley Gore (a flavor of manic sadness) Scotty Doesn’t Know - I forget (for when Logan’s being cocky) Our Perfect Disease - The Wombats (when Rudy and Louise aren’t working) Lethal Combination - The Wombats (when Louise and Logan are working but they shouldn’t) Najwa - a real coworker but her name means secret

It is okay to try to gain experience in other kinds of writing and genres through practice. You are not a bad person for writing about something taboo.
