Alaska HCs?

doesnt know anyone's names. 'oh but he's known them for like 100 years' he doesn't care. they're all just variations of the same short deranged guy that he wants nothing to do with.

typa guy to just never answer his phone. typa guy where you're talking to him and his phone starts ringing and he just stares at in in silence until whoever calling gives up.

he's accepted that no one knows even a little bit about his state and its using it for his favourite thing; trolling. man loves to just blatantly lie.

'oh did you watch the game last night?' 'no alaska doesn't have electricity.' 'really?' 'yeah we just hibernate. no fire either. its banned.'

man just doesn't experience excitement. drop down on one knee and propose to him? nothing. discover the cure for cancer? meh.

only exception to this is the winter olympics. for that he will allow himself a small smile. colorado sees it happen and goes around telling everyone, luckily, they assume he was just hallucinating.

sooooo lightly unhinged. typa guy to say 'yeah I've been really getting into music' and he pulls up his phone and he's started from the dawn of time and is currently listening to neanderthalic chants.

he's on the same spectrum as cali in the fact they're the two most likely to kill someone. cali out of self righteous rage. alaska as a hobby.

they're also both autistic but the wttt fandom isn't ready for that truth

and yk they're not ready for the fact he texts in the groupchat. someone asks him a question and he sends a picture of a bear. the CIA is still trying to make sense of what he means by that.

its lucky he has hawai'i bc she makes sure he's up to date w slang. he said the word 'Sockdologer' once and she physically became unwell from embarrassment.

I should have said “you sockdologizing old mantrap” on stage trust I would’ve gotten all the roles

[inky-kaleidascope-dimensions]

Just a quick thing: "handcuff" is 1920s slang for wedding rings. I think we could absolutely fit that into Cue's misunderstood proposal. Like, he uses the slang term without actually realizing he's using the slang term for wedding ring.

That mixed with the occasional Spanish phrase and general stammering, the actual point goes over Saphonite's head. He's 99% sure that Cue is doing an Important Relationship Thing. But he's also very confident that if Cue was to ask for his hand in marriage, he'd do it very bluntly and straight up ask.

Yess. I was thinking the same thing

“I know this isn't exactly a sockdologer, b-but I was thinking,would youse mind if we—uh—here.” *he pulls out a long box and opens it, revealing 3 beautiful rings. As he does, he averts his gaze, turns as red as Prowa allows, and starts speaking fast* “Look, I really likes you two—i mean LOVE you two—and I gots us some handcuffs and waswonderingifyouwantedtogethitched?”

2285. Sockdologizing Old Man-Trap

This is called “Sockdologizing Old Man-Trap.” Who kills who in the game? 

They aim to murder us all through our ambitions. The great ferns of the forest will outlive even thoughts. I think it’s amazing how a word can go out of fashion. An ominous book once told me that if you find yourself dreaming a lot, that means you’re going to die soon. It’s the brain’s way of getting all the good stuff out. Even if it’s meaningless. Or funny. Living is fixing the design flaws. The invention of laugh tracks will go down as the crowning achievement of human history. You can cover a gunshot with laughter.

Bring in a sockdologer on the Dickens-fawners.

Walt Whitman in his manuscript note ‘America Has Been Called’, circa 1850.

Remember in the Lincoln episode during the play when the actor says “Don't know the manners of good society, eh? Well, I guess I know enough to turn you inside out, old gal — you sockdologizing old man-trap.” I sort of imagine Gabriel having that same booming, inflated, over dramatic, jovial voice when he is making his sassy, sardonic, and playboy comments to Flynn back when they were besties, fighting wars and galavanting around. It makes me smile. 😊

Ahaha. I can definitely see Gabriel being Ye Olde Drama King to the nth degree, since he used to be a good time and a shameless flirt and someone who had fun with life (pause for moment of silence). And yes, as noted in the two fic prompts I have done about them, they enjoyed a good medieval battle or two and plenty of sassy comments afterward. And just because someone is the world’s most useless vampire and refuses to get laid, doesn’t mean Gabriel is. Gabriel is a great vampire, thank you very much, and takes full advantage of what the People Expect in this department.

Anyway, yes. An excellent mental image.

I was tagged by @somewhathonestabe! Thanks, man!

relationship status: So

Very

Single

favorite color: I default to blue, but I like green and purple too. Also that color scheme that comes up a lot on like bookish moodboards and bookish things in general, that reddish-brown and brownish-red and other colors in subdued, calm shades.

lipstick or chapstick: Chapstick, my dude

last song i listened to: "Níl Sé’n Lá” by Celtic Woman (if you don’t count the songs I sang at church this morning, which I didn’t technically listen to, anyway, as that implies I wasn’t the one performing--if you do count them, then it was “I Will Follow” by Chris Tomlin)

last movie i watched: Yikes, I haven’t watched a whole movie in a long time. Um... Atlantis? I think that’s what it was.

top 3 tv shows: The West Wing is the only show I actively watch rn (it’s fucking stellar and you should all watch it), but I also like A Series of Unfortunate Events and The Twilight Zone. And I’ve been meaning to start Galavant; I hear that’s funny, and it’s right up my alley.

top 3 bands/musical artists: The Beatles have always been a default, and I also love Celtic Woman and Pentatonix.

top 3 characters: Only 3?? DECISIONS Sam Gamgee from LotR, Laura Glue from CotIG, and basically the entire cast CJ Cregg from West Wing (I ended up disqualifying about half of my list to get it down to this few, since they’re fictionalizations of real people and therefore not technically fictional characters--looking at you, CotIG and Poe Party)

what i’m currently reading: For class: A Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen and The Cherry Orchard by Anton Chekhov. For fun: A Hobbit, a Wardrobe, and a Great War by Joseph Loconte and The Time Machine by H.G. Wells. And whatever poetry strikes my fancy.

what is the one thing you want to accomplish this year? There are a ton of things I want to accomplish, but one of the most, shall we say...pressing...is being accepted as an RA (not only would it be fun, and I’m told I’d be good at it, but also RAs’ room and board is paid for by the university and they get a $200 stipend for each semester they work, and them’s discounts I need because College Is Expensive)

who is your greatest role model? So many. Too many. I can’t possibly pick a greatest. Although, not to be cheesy, but my parents are way up there, especially my mom. I love both my parents (and I’m incredibly lucky that they both love me), but my mom’s a badass.

if you could live anywhere where would you live? It’s a tie between Chicago (great theater scene and slightly more affordable than NYC, plus my cousin’s husband works at a well-known theater in Chicago so I might be able to ask him about any upcoming internships), LA (I’ve been meaning to try YouTube stuff for a long-ass time, and my recent obsession with Shipwrecked Comedy is hardcore fueling that fire), and NYC (because Theater). The town I’m in now is great too, though. I could live in the secondhand book store in the town square.

That 10 Character thing.

RULES: List 10 of your favorite Characters (I’ll be doing the Male one, although I’ll soon do the Female one) from 10 fandoms (no particular order), and then tag 10 people. I was tagged by Feadae (thanks friend. This was something to think on). 1). Charles Williams from Chronicles of the Imaginarium Geographica. This was so damn difficult, let me tell you! I’m sure any Scowler can relate to the difficulty of choosing just one male character from CotIG. There’s the three Inkling Caretakers, the Badgers, the Caretakers Emeritus (mostly Poe) to choose from. That said, I had to go with Charles “Good Charlie” Williams. He’s great, Master of Espionage that he is, greatest among editors, and can rock purple hair like no body else. Not to mention I eventually read some wonderful books as a result of discovering his existence in this series. Now on to the rest... 2). Isekander/Rider, from Fate Zero. aka Alexander the Great. Isekander is just plain awesome. Perhaps the most likable character in the show (not too difficult considering some, but still). Badass, funny, and rather kind and supportive at times. Just plain amazing. 3). Carter Kane from the Kane Chronicles by Rick Riordan. I’m not sure why I prefer Carter over Riordan’s other protagonists. It might be because he’s such a lovable and adorkable nerd at times. That might be it. Really the Kane Chronicles deserve more love. 4). Feste from Twelfth Night or What you Will by William “builder of Pyramids and Bridges, and Someone Should be Flogged ” Shakespeare. Really Feste is the best of Shakespeare’s later sort of Sot. The Arminian breed of Fool (those originally written for and performed by Actor and Scholar of Foolery and Folly Robert Armin), as oposed to the Kempian stock (Those performed by Will Kemp). Not that there’s anything wrong with the earlier sort. I mean Falstaff is in their company and he’s great. In fact I was this close to putting Falstaff in Feste’s Place. So why go with Feste? Because this Corrupter of Words was my introduction to Shakespeare’s Fools (the Arminian ones at least) and I love him for that. His songs are great, his banter beautiful, and his quotes....are so damn quotable. Falstaff is great but Feste beats him by ‘that’ much. 5). Kraft Lawrence from Spice and Wolf. I had to include someone from my favorite anime so I might as well pick the male lead. A skilled merchant, the dude is Clever. Funny, witty (he can match wits with Holo the Wise Wolf, so he’s got that going for him), resourceful, adaptable and over all a great guy. Even if he can get a bit greedy and sulk more than he should. Also, being voiced by J. Michael Tatum (in the English dub at least) is good to. 6). Okabe Rintaro. (Aka Hooin Kyoma) from Stein’s Gate. A self proclaimed mad scientist who manages to discover Time Travel on accident. A bit of a full of himself prick at times, the dude is Intentionally and knowingly over the top in the best of ways. Prone to dramatics, with quite an air of sophistication about him. Also funny, likable, and an amazing, loyal, and devoted friend. Also, voiced by J. Michael Tatum( almost always a plus). If you haven’t seen it, I’d recommend you do so. 7). The Walker, from the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness by Michele Paver. I’m not sure what is about this crazy, one eyed wanderer of the Forest that I enjoy so much, and yet he’s my favorite male character in the series (Sorry Torak, Bale, Fin Kedin). 8). Death, from the Discworld series by the late Great Sir Terry Pratchett. The Death of Discworld is perhaps the best depiction of Death I have come across in fiction. He is a Kind Death, a carring and sometimes sympathetic sort of Death. He has a fascination with humanity, but it is a genuine sense of intrigue and want to know more (usually) not some bullshit malevolent sort of ‘fascination’ which is at times over played in fiction (although still done well) also a provider of many great quotes. Also, since it’s the Holiday season, I highly recommend reading and or watching (preferably both) Pratchett’s Hogfather. It’s one of his best, with some great words regarding the idea of belief (See Belief according to Death if you get the chance. But still read the book and watch the Mini series). Mind you some things might need explanation, like Susan or Albert, but those explanations are easily found if you look for them. 9). Alan Foggarty from the Faerie Wars Chronicles by Herbie Brennan. I’m not sure if I’m in the FWC fandom. To be honest, I’m not sure if there is one. If there is, it’s smaller than the Gatherum. None the less Alan Foggarty is great. The old man who might be a tad crazy ( one for conspiracy theories), but he’s intelligent, kind(usually), and a surgoate grandfather sort of figure to Henry (one of the protagonists). Brings a shot gun with him while traveling to another dimension so he’s resourceful to a degree. Although, perhaps my favorite thing about him is a scene between him and Henry in the fourth book (The Faerie Lord). He’s talking with Henry about Butterflies, a bit out of it, but trying to get his point across. His point being, in a universe with multi dimensional travel, Faeries, Smoke bombs that make people lose their memory, Time Stopping Glass Flowers, and not to mention Demons, that the simple yet complex process of a Caterpillar becoming a Butterfly is ‘True’ Magic. That’s just stuck with me, and Mister Foggarty is a favorite for that speech and much more. 10). Oh darn, who do I pick for this last spot? Ah! Wait, but which one. Will or Halt? Will? Or Halt? Gah! Will. This was very difficult let me tell you. Will Treaty, from the Ranger’s Apprentice series, by John Flanagan. Resourceful, Awesome, becomes an excellent strategist with quite a few awesome plans under his belt and st such a relatively young age. Badass and Funny besides being intelligent and quick minded (a trait which leads to quite an amusing nickname later on). Simply great. By the way, if you haven’t read the Ranger’s Apprentice series, I’d recommend you do so. A bit long (12 books, with a spin off and a prequel series), but worth it. I’d really recommend it to fellow Scowlers. While it doesn’t really share a similar premise at all, it has that delightful sense of adventure about it. Considered YA but that really shouldn’t be a deterrent or some such( I’m pretty sure deterrent is the write word). Now for tagging people. I don’t really know how to tag people (on mobile) but I’ll at least list people. @sockdologer @space-nerd @anyawen @onedragontorulethemall @bliss-delight-jr. @zuchinigal @teabooksandsweets @nikolatesla-go @deadgiraffesdonthavesex @a-fangirl-in-too-many-fandoms Have fun, and make of this what you will.
