Oscar nominee Dev Patel (The Green Knight) is set to star in The Journeyman, a new crime thriller for director Tarsem Singh (The Fall).
Scripted by the husband-and-wife duo of Bryan and Alexis Roberts, aka The Roberts, The Journeyman is the story of a struggling pro tennis player who is lured into an illegal match-fixing ring to support his family and finds himself trapped in a ruthless world of corruption and violence he may never escape.
In a statement accompanying the project announcement, AGC’s Ford said, “The Roberts have written a taught, suspenseful crime thriller full of twists and turns that feels like a perfect fit for a visionary filmmaker like Tarsem and a top tier producer of Scott’s caliber. Tarsem’s renowned visual flair and deep experience in working with top athletes will also see him depict a viscerally authentic version of the pro tennis circuit that goes beyond what’s been seen on the big screen before. I’ve wanted to work with Dev Patel for a long time meanwhile and this is a phenomenal role for him to get his teeth into.”

THE JOURNEYMAN ~
NAME. UTP AGE & BIRTH DATE. UTP SPECIES. Werewolf FACTION. Warrior's Guild OCCUPATION. UTP
A noble son of the prosperous Eastreach, born in violence, your mother only lived long enough to pray that you would be strong. Pray that you would be brave, and pray that you would face darkness and never waiver. Your father had wealth beyond need, and connections across Taravell and further over the seas. Familial ties joined your family with that of the Sinarians, relatives by marriage and not by blood. Your mother had died praying you’d be strong and you intended to see her hopes fulfilled, a warrior of the guild, a guildsman who took on contracts that put their life on the line for no reason beyond the fact that you had something to prove. You were born with a silver spoon, you could have had anything, but instead you chose the warrior’s code and put your blood, sweat, and tears into the blade. Death was inevitable and from the moment you saw life fade from the eyes of a friend, you were forever changed. The shift happened  the following full moon, but the wolf dream had been following you for months. Your father hardly knew you anymore, but your family was extensive, and they saw you for who you were, they understood why you went to join the Feronia, why you lived within Haven, and why you traded luxury for the wilds and the blade.

There was a comment going around about the writing trope where one character loses their mind because their partner is kidnapped or otherwise harmed and I can’t find it now but want to say that I feel seen and I think @damejudyhench does too

Hey, Horrormaster Sims. I have a wildly different question that barely relates to TMA (Sorry about that) but its about your own process. Please, if you could, can you tell me how your first drafts made you feel? I'm on the fence about writing my own thing (not a podcast, and again, not Magnus related, though I have a million little aus for that delightful tragedy you wrote, thank you for that!) But I'm discouraged by the collective notion that first drafts are always terrible, because there's no ... examples I can solidly use to help the dumb anxiety beast in my brain that tells me everyone who is in any way popular popped out a golden turd and not, well, you know. One of my friends said 'Oh I bet Jonathan Sims's first draft was nothing like what he wanted' and I got the bright idea to just. Send you an ask, since you're trapped on this hellsite like I am. Anyway, thanks for reading this (if you do) and if you'd rather ask it privately, I am cool with that. Alternatively, you're a hella busy man with Protocol (you and Alex are making me rabid, i hope you know) and you can just ignore this! Cheers, man, and good words.
To my mind all writing advice, especially stuff that's dispensed as truisms (like "first drafts are always garbage") are only useful inasmuch as such advice prompts you to pay attention to how you write best: what helps your workflow, what inspires you, what keeps you going through the rough bits. There are as many different ways to write (and write well) as there are people who write and so always consider this sort of thing a jumping off point to try out or keep in mind as you gradually figure out your own ways of writing.
On first drafts specifically, I think the wisdom "all first drafts are bad" is a bit of unhelpful oversimplification of the fact that, deadlines notwithstanding, no piece of writing goes out until you decide its ready, so don't get too hung up on your first draft of a thing, because a lot of writers find it much easier to edit a complete work than to try and redraft as they go. It's also important to not let perfectionism or the fact your initial draft isn't coming out exactly how you want stop you from actually finishing the thing, as it's always better to have something decent and done than to have something perfect and abandoned.
But the idea of a "first draft" is also kind of a fluid one. The "first draft" you submit to someone who's commissioned you will probably be one you've already done a bunch of tweaks and edits to, as opposed to the "first draft" you pump out in a frenzy in an over-caffeinated weekend. For my part, my first drafts tend to end up a bit more polished than most, because I'm in the habit of reading my sentences out loud as I write them (a habit picked up from years of audio writing) so I'll often write and re-write a particular sentence or paragraph a few times to get the rhythm right before moving to the next one. This means my first drafts tend to take longer, but are a bit less messy. I'm also a big-time planner and pretty good at sticking to the structures I lay out so, again, tend to front load a lot of stuff so I get a better but slower first draft.
At the end of the day, though, the important thing is to get in your head about it in a good way (How do I write best? what helps me make writing I enjoy and value? What keeps me motivated?) and not in a bad way (What if it's not good enough? What if everyone hates it? What if it doesn't make sense?) so that you actually get it done.
As for how my first drafts made me feel? Terrible, every one of 'em No idea if that's reflective of their quality, though, tbh - I hate reading my own writing until I've had a chance to forget it's mine (I can only ever see the flaws). I suppose there's theoretically a none-zero chance they were pure fragments of True Art and creative perfection, but Alex's editing notes make that seem unlikely.

I’ve almost no understanding of linguistics. But this post and also @thefoundationproject ‘s fics, which include bits about how the Journeyman Protector dialect might be related to Standard Mando’a, have me trying to hypothesize Mandalorian language trees. based on what we know about Mandalorian history.

I KNOW some of you are language nerds and I also did this in fifteen minutes please yell at me about your own headcanons and also about everything I got wrong/missed/forgot. It would be cool to turn it into a real graph to reference eventually (:

Tried out soutache for the first time today since I would like to use it for my journeyman‘s piece.
I fell in love with the historical garment and pretty much just copied the design
It's ridiculously hard to find good soutache braid that's suitable for sewing, most of the time it's for jewelry making. The one I used is low quality trim for carnival costumes.

the whole death watch/true mandalorians civil war is so weird in context because its like if a bunch of "good old days" religious conservatives got in a fistfight with 13th century crusade reenactors in the middle of an iowa cornfield
#star wars#redbean talks#mandalorians#death watch#true mandalorians#theyre both arguing for 'feudal government where we can kill people' but they disagree on who exactly should be getting killed#tor: ah yes everything was better before Those People showed up and made murder a crime#jaster: yes but we should instead strive to emulate the historic crusaders with a semi organized military structured around the resolnare#with which we will go start wars because we like fighting stuff#he even has the neocrusader yellow for field master (jasters yellow diamond)#and red for rally master (jangos red circle; montross' red square)#plus the tradition of adopting the resulting orphans after battles#forget university professor modern au jaster#modern au jaster is a random guy who got a restraining order on him because he started beating up corrupt police#now he's a full on nomadic warlord that nobody can seem to catch#he regularly pops up to exchange punches with Old Rich White Christian-Conservative Politician no.40 in random parking lots#nobody knows where he keeps coming from but all the politicians taking bribes keep getting assassinated#even by mandalorian standards his life is weird#(and then a few decades later boba went and did the exact same thing)#like. he went to CD. got a legal job as a journeyman protector. promptly killed his boss and got exiled. wandered around bounty hunting#for a while. and now hes settled down as some sort of outlaw-warlord who starts bar fights with ex death watch members

"I wish i were a carpenter" bRO, GO FOR IT!
make your dreams come true
I mean, otoh absolutely, yes, everyone should just go for whatever they want to achieve in life
oto, I, personally, absolutely do not have the talents or motor skills it takes to be able to perform a job like that. I have never met a tool I didn't injure myself with in absolutely idiotic ways. I managed to stab myself in the foot by dropping a pair of garden shears on it, and that's not even the dumbest injury I ever got. Handing me power tools more complex than an electric drill would absolutely 100% end in a bloodbath.
And anyway, I don't even enjoy working with wood that much, I don't actually want to be a carpenter, i just think the aesthetic is neat. I want black double-zippered courdray pants and a belt pouch full of nails, but I don't actually want to do the work. yk. I want to be a person who wants to be a carpenter but I'm not. And that's fine!

Cancelled Missions: X-15 Blue Scout
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"American air-launched orbital launch vehicle. In March 1962, NASA proposed an orbital launch vehicle using the B-52/X-15 combination. A Blue Scout booster would be fitted to an extendable launch rail on the belly of the X-15. The X-15 would be air-launched from the B-52, and then itself air-launch the Blue Scout well above the earth's atmosphere.
Tumblr media
Status: Design 1962.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The proposal was rejected due to concerns over safety and economics (despite it being promoted as a low-cost launch system)."

Today in the waiting room at the dentist I received an email. My coworker who was permanently disabled in a workplace accident I was involved in is suing the city and the city's lawyer wants to chat with me. And then on top of that I had to go and get dental work done. I have four cavities, slight but irreparable gum damage, and the looming possibility of a court date hanging in my future. Frankly that's too much to happen on a Wednesday.

After Sunrise and After Midnight — After Mygeeto
This has been done for over a month but life has been Complicated™️ so I’m only just uploading this.
You can buy a print of the After Midnight variant on my RedBubble (or request the After Sunrise variant) or commission me yourself! I’m raising money for a surgery. There will also be an upcoming poll on the next big project piece like this one, so keep your eyes out.
