Ooh, since you’re a currently practicing bridesmaid, here’s a hypothetical: if Dan and Blair were to get married, who do you think would end up being in their wedding party, and what do you imagine the vibes would be like? It struck me how funny and strange it would be from the outside looking in that Blair’s best friend and likeliest maid of honor pick and Dan’s best guy friend and likeliest best man pick are each other’s first loves and publicly significant exes, and that just made me wonder what the rest of their wedding party would end up looking like and what sort of bizarro wedding events would be born out of that lol

lol practicing bridesmaid....i've no idea what i'm doing I just do what the bride or MOH or Wedding Doula* tell me to do.

*bride's bestie from grad school is a bridal shop manager for a wedding dress designer so she works in the wedding business and knows all.

but to answer your question..........i don't think dan and blair would really have attendants at their wedding?

i guess the dair wedding for me depends on the context and shape of how they get together/what they want their wedding to be. so like, if we're going with canon (up to s5 because I am who I am), where blair had the big blowout white wedding that became a total disaster, I don't see blair much wanting to repeat that pageantry, especially since to her, she really frames her relationship with dan as Different. ("done with fairytales...time to be real again etc") which is why I really just envision them eloping. because they are also very aware of the...ouroboros that is their family & friends & exes so I foresee them choosing just not to fuck with that at all and elope in private.

but, that does open up its own potentials for drama and/or hilarity. Maybe they do ask a couple people. Maybe the only person they feel cool having witness is Nate and/or Dorota. what happens when they have to tell everybody else? I bet Rufus and Eleanor go nuclear. Alison & Harold & Roman are happy/relieved they don't have to worry about a Wedding. Lily's bummed to miss out planning an Event. Serena is amused but also grateful to be spared the mixed feelings of that particular wedding. Jenny and Eric sit in a corner and watch it all go down with popcorn.

but if we're doing a canon divergence that happens prior to Blair's royal wedding.......I don't know. I still think they might avoid the attendants question --- or maybe dan's would be vanessa & jenny and blair's would be serena & nate. I've explored a little of these possibilities in the wedding fic of the miloverse

okay wait, that's actually hilarious. Serena & Nate plan Blair's bachelorette, and I see it going very similar to the one we see. dive bar, shots, blair getting arrested for drug possession & harassing an officer (vanessa, who's definitely also at that party, is like "waldorf, I've never liked you more.")

vanessa plans dan's and it's basically just a weed fueled weekend film festival, he gets really sappy and emotional like, "I just love her so much, and she's marrying me." and jenny and vanessa are falling over each other trying not to laugh. and nate has long since fallen asleep because he cannot do subtitles.

what else can I make up? dan and blair have a plurality of parents so they form cliques. eleanor & lily (plus rufus and cyrus just holding their purses and cracking jokes) and harold & roman & alison talking about art and film and hogging all the good red.

uhhhhhh blair can do whatever she wants but jenny claims sartorial control over dan. blair allows it, one less thing for her to worry about.

georgina is told nothing/sent nothing/no announcement, no invite, but she sends a gift anyway. it's sex toys.

they have the wedding at The Strand. they probably sneak off together before and after the ceremony.

[the-owl-tree]

if you could choose any of the books to rewrite (super editions, manga, novellas, etc) which would it be and why? what would you change?

hmmmm....admittedly cheating a little here but i think i'd tweak all (add friendships, avoid unnecessary retcons, etc.) and overhaul quite a few. I'll do a handful of a few I have on the brain:

Crowfeather's Trial: If we're only allowing changes that don't impact the main line books, keep Breezepelt's anger and don't have him forgive Crowfeather in the end. The damage is done, Crowfeather can't repair that and he has to live with it. If we're allowing big changes, Crowfeather shouldn't have been made deputy after floundering all book, Heathertail should have been named. Seriously, deputy isn't a reward for being a big boy and learning to stop wishing your son was dead, it's a job lol

Squirrelflight's Hope: Honestly? Keep it mostly the same but lean into the horror of it as a set up for TBC. It works waaaayy too well. Change the trial scene so SOMEONE acknowledges that what Leaf and Squirrel did was best. Major canon destroying changes: Squirrelflight and Bramblestar split for good, the "i'm willing to attack innocent cats" thing should have been a decent enough red flag.

Bluestar's Prophecies: Tweaks, lean more into how Bluestar developed her leadership style in TPB. Make her and Thistleclaw's deputyship an actual competition, have Thistleclaw make subtle threats towards her children for their up-in-the-air father status. Make Rosetail Spottedleaf and Redtail's mom lol

i probably have more but i have these three boys on the mind so i'll hand you this for now. might add more later!

@leahnardo-da-veggie tagged me in this mini character development questionnaire! she posed the questions below for one of my characters to answer. I'll be using Marty MacManus, one of the secondary school instructors in Dagmar:

1. If someone broke your favourite object, would you forgive them?

I teach teenagers -- I'm well acquainted with my things being broken. Things can usually be put back together. Now, people, on the other hand ...

2. If you could go back in time, before you were born, and change one thing, what would it be?

[He'd sit with this one a bit, because being too open about his true thoughts would Complicate Things + put a target on his back] ...I'd just make sure my ancestors ended up on the right side of history.

3. What is your personal pet peeve?

When students push back too much. At a certain point it becomes less about questioning ideas and more about questioning authority for the sake of it. I don't mean to sound like a dictator, but I do believe in decorum, and in deferring to expertise.

And let's face it: I know this town better than any human walking this Earth.

tagged (if you'd like!): @kyuponstories @mjparkerwriting @fenatics @spiritualsimtatyana2000

Your character questions are:

1. What's in your purse / bag / pockets right now?

2. Are you a parent, a proud pet owner, or both? Or neither?

3. Do you believe in an afterlife?

Genie! I had a thought/was curious. I don't know your opinion on tattoos but IF you HAD to get one, what kind of Billy Joel tattoo would you get? Lyrics? His face? A subtle nod to Billy?? I saw some girl on instagram showing of her "Vienna" Lyric tattoo, and now I have to know...

My opinion on tattoos is that they are not for me, but if I had to get one it would probably be lyrics from Vienna. I'm not sure which lyric exactly!! Or I might pick a lyric from another song because there are individual lyrics I might want on me more, but I'd want to represent Vienna as a song because it's like the pinnacle of songs to me. I would never get a tattoo of anyone's face, I don't like how those look. I'd get a lyric on a wrist or ankle, or maybe piano keys. I can't really think of anything else subtle lol.

Also this has just made me realize that as far as I know he doesn't have any tattoos. It's technically forbidden in Judaism and my former boss had a whole thing about Jews of a certain age not getting tattoos for that reason even if they weren't practicing but idk if he knew what he was talking about.

How is Blue and Jack's relationship to the other companions? Are they close with any of them, other than their LIs? What is their dynamic like?

Bonus: Do they have any notable relationships among the other non-companion characters?

Unsurprisingly, they both get along with Karlach. Blue in a 'Tiefling lady solidarity' sort of way, Jack in a more of 'he would have died so many times had she not been there' way.

Blue:

-Got along GREAT with Gale, and I can definitely see them being reading besties in a snarky and relaxed sort of way. Cat parent energy off the charts.

-She finds Halsin oddly intimidating.

-Appreciates Lae but avoids her for most of Act 1 just because Blue does NOT need someone snarking at her about the job she's doing, same with Shadowheart. Later becomes #1 Lae'zel stan in the fight against Vlakiith even though yeah, it is a terrible idea. Definitely takes them opening up a bit more for her to become closer to them because there is nothing Blue loves more than solving other people's problems.

-Thinks Wyll is just the best. Too good for her, in fact- she realizes she needs someone with a lil more snark to 'em. Of course he runs off to support Karlach what a Wyll thing to do My Gods.

Bonues: Tiefling solidarity the whole game- if you don't think she tracked down everyone in Baulder's Gate to make sure they were fine you don't know Blue. She had a list.

Jack:

-*Points at Lae'zel* "I have to ask my mom first"

-Gets along with Shadowheart and tries to take her advice but she can be confusing. You just implied it was a good idea and now you're telling me to stick to my convictions?? WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME? They have weird childhood best friend energy. Amnesia buddies who can only talk about their problems with each other and are somehow crap about it with anyone else.

-Orin: "I would have left you alone but you had to do and make it personal. So. Think we all know where this is goin'."

-Gortash: The Throne room scene was hilarious because I imagine Jack wanting to completely forget his past, so he was 1000% ready to throw down with this guy for his bestie. Then he started giving off weird energy and Jack had to switch to doing the mental math of 'Did...did we hook up what is this??' and match it up with what he knew of his past self.

He was five layers deep into doing this

When he noticed Karlach was getting mad at him and he had to switch into calming her down before he got his ass beat.

He decided to not think about it anymore past that. Probably best for everyone.
