Sloanshir and while in Sloan's POV, Carly Rae Jepsen's 'Call Me Maybe' is playing in the background, and in Julian's it's a horror movie soundtrack

So how are you feeling about Wildbow's stealth adaptation of the Americans?

First thought: On the one hand baiting and trolling the fandom is something wildbow already does either accidentally or intenitonally waaaay too much.

On the other hand making his next protagonist a textual doctrinaire Marxist-Lenninist would be hilarious.

Actual answer: Family drama and spygame bullshit and hopefully actually fun pseudo-cyberpunk crime procedural plots is a combination I am actually now much more excited for than I was from the initial pitch.

Taking a break from boiling my brain writing commissions and failing to put a short story to the page adequately to think about the structure of Road Out of Ruin.

There are two different paths forward I can take right now. There are two storylines in Road to Ruin that need to be resolved more or less.

Revenant- A story that mainly focuses on Whisper and Kit. Shorter than Spark, closer to the length of I'm Doing This For Revenge and also closer to that story's somber tone with a lot of spygames-y stuff.

Surge in the Sol Dimension Titles Pending 1 and 2- This could maybe be one story if I REALLY wanted it to but it would be very long, and the tone of the two halves would be dramatically different. Picks up where the ending of Spark dropped off Surge. The first one has a more adventure-y tone to it, the second a bit different.

Chronologically they take place Surge 1 -> Revenant -> Surge 2. Part of me is thinking it would maybe be a good idea to write them out of order though so that I can both reorient the focus back to the Diamond Cutters for awhile while also what's going on with Kit during this period.

I genuinely can't decide yet, though, because I feel like people would also be appreciative of more Surge. Spark really took off, and there is a big cliffhanger in there that I know some would appreciate more resolution to sooner than later. I also have that story a lot stronger in my head, so there's that, but I've got plenty of time to plan for Revenant too. I aint gonna do anything sonic related until at least November.

I dunno. Gonna take some thinking, I guess.

hooked on the concept of Simon Blackquill suspecting Phoenix of being the Phantom because noone knows anythign about him pre-meeting Mia, except for Larry who just pops in an out of existance, and Miles who knew him for (at most) 1 year.

He could be anyone!

obv hes not but the thought of Blackquill trying to spygame him while he - poker master, master of the poker face; unkillable man; can see when someone has secrets; general fuckin weird guy - is either unaware-yet-perfectly avoids it [Phoenix: (I sure felt surprised. Maybe I had my poker face on.)] or knows hes being stalked and is just bein casual about it (outwardly, inwards u know hes collecting 1million data points)

the actual phantom thinks this is a great mistdirection until either he also becomes obsessed with "who the fuck is Phoenix Wright???" or Phoenix , completely unintentionally, proves without a doubt who the Phantom is via a series of insane events

Project Garmr

This is just a wild list of ideas I had after finishing Phantom Liberty and beeing slightly dissapointed how they treated Kurt Hansen as a character.

- Spoilers ahead -

First of all: I love PL but I think it has its weaknesses. But that's for another post.

I am manly dissapointed, that he was introduced as the main antagonist (Myers is the actual villian if you ask me) but got very little screentime or impact on your choices or story imo. He was there, the quests involving him where epic but in the end he just got low to medium depth lore and an unspectacular death. I could rant about the problems I have with the fight (gameplay was sick but the story was meh) or the not-fight if Alex is taking care of him. But that's for another post aswell.

I just want to write down some ideas and headcanons about how things could have turned out differently, if he didn't die.

- I'll give it to V or Alex, that they're actually able to defeat him

- But he'll survive the attack, badly wounded but alive

- He'll then recover in the hospital, maybe getting new chrome to compensate the injuries

If you leave Hansen alive after the fight, you'll later get informed by Mr. Hands that he was assassinated in the hospital.

But what if that's not true. What if Kurt faked his death and spread this missinformation. By placing a body double at his funeral and asigning Bennett and Jago to give the public some drama to make his disguise waterproof but secretly still pulling the strings in the back.

Why? Because it's an opportunity. An opportunity for revenge. Playing hide and seek spygames against the spies and government, who got him into this situation in the first place.

He failed to kill or capture Myers and that's grinding his gears. The grudge he's holding against her is becoming unberable. After Song and the agents of the FIA screwed him over he's more than done fucking around with the marionetts and wants to start a last attempt to kill the puppet master.

He basically wants Myers head on a silver plate.

- This top secret plan is communicted as 'Project Garmr' within the structures of Barghest and Dogtown

- only Kurts most trusted associates know about his plans and that he is still alive

- the risk of someone spilling the tea in the lower ranks of Barghest are to high

- means he needs to get along without the manpower of his militia. At least in the beginning

- in addition to that he doesn't want that his smuggling business or Dogtown in general gets involved too far

- he worked to hard and is proud of his achivements to throw everything into the trash for his personal revenge

- he reaches out to his contacts all over the world, asking around who'd profit from the death of Mrs. President and shifting powers

- all or most of it undercover, so his disguise stays in tact

- building kind of an army

- the course and outcome of this plan would highly depend on the people or organisations Kurt's siding with

-  because after all he wants Myers dead  and in the best case replace her with someone in his favor

- could mean he's 'accidentally' starting the next war or does it in a more discrete manner

- it would suit his character if he used all his wits, instead of just sending some missels to her face. He would not make this mistake again

If this would evolve into a legit fanfic or what ever there are a lot of possibilities to give the Colonel additional lore and depth. For example:

- Meeting people of his past, friends, lovers or enemies alike

- Showing different sides of him (vulnerability because of a trauma or cyberpsychosis or smth like that)

- more of his top tier interrogation skills

- knife fights! Oh yeah

Yeah that's it. For now. A big 'What If'. Don't know, really like the idea somehow. All of it is a WIP that I came up with in the middle of the night but I would like to make it a little project in some way. Even though Kurt didn't had the impact I'd hoped for in the game, he managed to get into the top 3 of my fav chars within the blink of an eye lol.

Side note: Garmr is a dog/wolf mentioned in norse mythologie (who has a lot in common with Fenrir, who is probably more popular). He's described as a fucking huge, blood-stained dog caught in chains, guarding Hel's gate, the door to the underworld. He is ascociated with the beginning of Ragnarök, the final battle between beasts and gods. Once he breaks free from his chains, he's ultimately responsible for plunging the world into chaos.

Think that's an appropriate name Kurt would choose. He's a mythology nerd lol.

Bark. Bark.

Two birthdays today from the film industry, I don’t know much about either , but they were only born a year apart on January 8th.

Happy Birthday Gillies MacKinnon, born in Glasgow in 1948.

After studying mural painting at Glasgow School of Art, he became an art teacher and professional cartoonist, and spent six months travelling with a nomadic tribe in the Sahara, what an adventure that must have been! 

He studied at Middlesex Polytechnic in the 1970s and the National Film and Television School in the early 1980s. His graduation short Passing Glory, an austere recreation of the Glasgow of his youth, was premiered at the 1986 Edinburgh International Film Festival, where it won the first Scottish Film Prize. He then went on two direct two projects for BBC 2’S Screen Two, Small Faces, about three teenage brothers,  in a downtrodden section of 1960’s Glasgow and The Grass Arena the true story of John Healy, a boxer turned alcoholic turned chess master portrayed by Mark Rylance. The film won several prizes, including the Edinburgh Film Festival’s Michael Powell Award for Best British Film.

MacKinnon also directed notable TV shows including, Trial and Retribution and George Gently. More recently he directed the TV film Torvill and Dean, and the latest version of Whisky Galore.

I recommend his latest work, a film called The Last Bus…….Life is a journey and The Last Bus takes pensioner Tom Harper (Timothy Spall) on an epic trip from the remote village he calls home, back to the place where he was born.   The film also stars our very own Phyllis Logan, in it Spall uses his free bus pass to travel from John O'Groats to Land’s End in Cornwall, It's a joyful film that is also sad in places.

The second birthday boy is Iain Smith was born in Glasgow in 1949, and graduated from the London Film School in 1971.

He worked in London for several years before returning to his native Scotland to make “My Childhood”, for the British Film Institute, the first of the award winning trilogy.

He formed his own production company in partnership with Jon Schorstein and produced television commercials, documentaries, children’s feature films and low budget dramas, and in 1978 production managed Bertrand Tavernier’s “Deathwatch” starring Romy Schneider and Harvey Keitel. A year later he joined David Puttnam and Hugh Hudson to make “Chariots of Fire” starring Ian Charleson and Ben Cross.

Smith has worked with some of the best actors in Hollywood, including Julia Roberts in Mary Reilly, Robert De Niro in the Mission and Spygame with Robert Redford and Brad Pitt. His most famous Scottish work is arguably as an  associate producer of Local Hero. He alson worked on some Hollywood titles including The Fifth Element, The A Team(movie) and The Killing Fields.

Iain Smith has served on the boards of the UK Film Council, Scottish Screen, the Joint board of Creative Scotland, the Scottish Film Council, the Scottish Film Production Fund, the Scottish Film Training Trust as a Governor of the National Film and Television School, a director of the Children’s Film and Television Foundation, and as Chair of the Edinburgh International Film Festival.

2- dreamt something like a first confrontation between a Kim Possible clone and their archrival.

3- A tactical SNES-like spygame inspired by Spy x Family, set in a fictional Earthlike world like Strangereal.
