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.

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?”

"Booth knew the play Our American Cousin, and waited to time his shot at about 10:15 pm, with the laughter at one of the hilarious lines of the play, delivered by actor Harry Hawk: "Well, I guess I know enough to turn you inside out, old gal; you sockdologizing old man-trap!". Lincoln was laughing at this line[42]: 96  when Booth opened the door, stepped forward, and shot him from behind with his pistol.[2]"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Abraham_Lincoln#:~:text=Booth%20knew%20the,%5B2%5D

This is very odd because they're calling him the American cousin and at the time of the shooting it was right after online it's an online and one that was delivered by Robert de Niro to the same person a hundred years later or more yeah more in the movie that has my parents' houseboat in it it's probably a reference to the theater and Mr Ford himself as affirming it was his dinner but that's where they used to go it is a reference to the clan and on purpose because he says he wants to go to Jerusalem I believe that might be a reference to Jerusalem and to try and steal Christ away and to go to their home in Saturn and it's sort of new a little bit but not about the planet but that's what he wants to do and he had a operation about being on a vast ship and heading to a new land that was dark and I think it is he assembles a juggernaut or two devastates his own people and shows his selfishness and his approach is incorrect and he's defeated by a empire fleet as icing on the cake for his ridiculous life and asinine behavior and he is a ridiculous piece of crap handing out all of your stuff but I need it desperately to survive and for my people to survive without them I won't and for my wife the love of my life

Zues

It's quite a mouthful but this guy is a piece of junk and he is doing it on his own and he's going to mess a lot of stuff up that's his problem his fault that's what this prophecy says the movie is he's the American cousin that's what they call him I guess but I hate that piece of junk and he can leave there's certain things my husband thinks about this it's going to be at the Ford theater where this idiot dies he's trying to do something to my daddy and it's at some building that he thinks he was living in or something and it's really the gamble house and it has to do with JC and Mary and some things that they may have hidden as a famous house they used to live in and we're seen in Rhode Island near it during the year was Bob Marsh and he's supposed to be a friends of trump Tim Doyle and he gets in a big war with that a****** and it's like fake and Timmy Doyle hates him for it my husband hates him this is your life is all fake and you come here and people have to act and you're a complete loser and you're out of your mind see what you are now and you need to go and a lot of people agree with him and they should meet and stifle him we don't need this but my husband says he's doing things that work for us he's a boob. This has a lot of meaning about his upcoming removal from office he thinks this is the date he thought it was the date the Mac proper I think it's the date he wants people to research what play will be playing at that time on April 15th at that very theater so he's going to try and look it up and I have been looking at it and I know what it is and it's no surprise to my husband and the guy is a loser and he is a fruitcake it won't be a surprise what happens to a lot of people the battle might be in starcraft or Warhammer Warcraft or part of Star wars and people are going to hunt for it and they're going to search for it and it's huge and you're trying to put other people's death out there Trump in the movies and now you're going to pay we know how you die you come back to earth and you die and attack Mac but people want to see why apparently you replay the Bismarck scene and it motivates the Mac proper who know that they need a lot more support and you are I hear that you are exiled for your aggressive selfish move

Hera

He must be stopped he should have been stopped when he first attacked me and her friend in Northport now this is going to start off a war and it might be for the better and the empire is going to suffer

Stan

We think that they stop him from going near the planet and they don't want him revealing stuff and it's going to cause a fight and the guy is a piece of s*** and wants to do that kind of thing

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

[owlpuddle]

Halfway through Act III, Scene 2, the character of Asa Trenchard, played that night by Harry Hawk, utters this line, considered one of the play's funniest, to Mrs. Mountchessington:

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!

During the ensuing laughter, Booth, a famous actor and Confederate sympathizer who was not part of the play's cast, entered Lincoln's box and fatally shot him in the back of the head. Familiar with the play, Booth had chosen that moment so that the audience's laughter would mask the sound of his gunshot.

From wiki. You just had to be there I guess

person who goes back in time to try and prevent lincoln’s assassination but they get so enraptured by the play that he’s watching that they forget and he gets shot anyways

op literally became the frog king with 70s music but go off I guess

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.

[feadae]

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.

I’ll tag @sublimegentlemanalpaca, @alienjack, @bliss-delight-jr, @sockdologer, @frosttrix, and anyone else who wants to overshare with me!
