need to figure out my cosplay plans for my QUICKLY approaching con OUGH. I wanted to do the Flatwoods monster but my money is getting really tight really quick😭

I could probably just do Topher bc my hair is long enough now that I don’t need the stupid ass wig, and any fixes to it would be easy (I need to futz around with the collar to make it stand better, & I’ll need new pants which may be a pain but they were BARELY hanging on in October so😵‍💫)

but I was also like…hrm, bc I could complete my Animaniacs trilogy and do Wakko, and just have to get a red hat and a big blue sweatshirt, and make another easy pair of ears. I feel incredibly obligated to do this bc I’ve already done the other two.

HOWEVER I also really wanna just do Jax bc who cares yknow? I have literally everything I’d need, clothing-wise, I’d just need to grab a pair of contacts, gloves, & some gray makeup that doesn’t turn blue when it touches the white makeup (I did a test a few months ago when I was high and the gray I had IMMEDIATELY turned like sky blue. Which was pretty but...). BUT the wig situation would be difficult. I can probably find the color I need but idk how to style a wig at ALL, & honestly don’t know what their hair would even look like in real life bc I don’t want to look like anime cosplay, you get me?

OH also I’d have to figure out a mask situation too. Wakko would be easy—I just very carefully sew a red Pom Pom onto the very tip and it works out. Topher would be whatever, I could get one of those pointy ones and boom there we go. Jax would require some art on em, bc I neeeeeeed the cheekbones to come thru😭 but I could draw the scar on it & it would be precious. (I appresh that the con is being safe, but…)

AUGH‼️ John Procrastination over here.

If you enjoyed this excerpt and you haven't read the OFMD Remington Steele AU stories Trag has already posted, you are missing out my friend.

I would loooove to know more about "remington steele au - hypothermia - and you won't give me a straight answer." You know how much I adore your Remington Steele AU <3

Ohhh hey buddy!!!! Yes!!!

Okay so the next few installments of the Remington Steele AU will actually have like, the barest amount of plot that isn't smut haha. This one is centered around Jim and Ed on a case somewhere in winter, and during a chase scene Jim goes through a frozen pond. Classic hypothermia h/c fic, but there will also probably be some smut and a lot of refusal to talk about their relationship even though Ed tries. (Does Jim even notice Ed calling them a pet name in the snippet below? No :3) I don't have a lot of it written yet, but I have Ideas!

Anyway here's a snippet for you!! (Featuring bad hypothermia care, it's fic set in the 80s, its fine lol)

If anyone feels like dropping me an ask for the WIP folder game, my long list of WIP titles is here!

--

When he lowers them into the water it feels like they've been dipped in molten lava. It washes over them, enveloping them in warmth. Jim wants to start crying it feels so fucking good. Edward slips into the tub behind them, drawing Jim back until they're resting against him. His chest is warm at their back, and his arms around their waist feels even better than the lukewarm water.

"Fuck." Their voice comes out strangled and tight. Something hot streams down their face.

Lips press against their cheek. He holds them tight as they start shaking harder, body warming enough to try and regulate itself. "I know. It's a lot."

"Who fuckin' decided - to come up North for a case - in, in fuckin' winter." Jim squeezes their eyes shut and holds on tight to his arms. They let themself sink deeper into the water, letting the warmth leech into their bones. "Maldito idiotas."

Edward barks a laugh. "Hey, we were doing fine until you tried your hand at the ice."

Jim lets their head loll back against his shoulder and closes their eyes. They're still crying, a silent stream of tears. "Nearly won."

"No, love. You didn't." He exhales a shuddering breath, arms and legs around them squeezing tight like that'll keep them close to him. "God, Jimbo. I was so fucking scared."

They can feel it. And if they let themself, crack their ribcage open and let any shred of emotion come out - they'll know that they were scared, too.

"S'okay," they slur. They reach up and clumsily pat his face with one hand. "Takes a lot more than cold water to kill me."

A cold nose presses just behind their ear. "... I sure hope so."

Neither GoFundMe ( https://support.gofundme.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001972748-Countries-supported-on-GoFundMe ) nor PayPal ( https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpIf ) are supported in Gaza. Any accounts on tumblr claiming to be in Gaza with either accounts are most likely lying to scam people out of money. Even the "vented" blogs are literally just "dude source: trust me" with no further resources for people who are skeptical. Videos and photos can be faked or stolen from other sites or even tradges (as what happened on Twitter a few times)

The same thing happened with Ukraine until recently

The only legit donation site I can find for Gaza is this site: https://www.anera.org/

Ooooo, that is a problem, esp with all the innocent Palestinians needing to get out asap.

If someone could add more context to this whole debate, that’d be great thanks.

So this idea has been floating around my head rent free for a while and demanded to be written.

“Now.” The toad continues after trying to shove her bullshit down their throats. “If there are no questions, you may begin to read chapter one.”

Ed raises his hand at the same time as Hermione.

“Yes Mr. Elric” She calls on him, deliberately ignoring Hermione. Ed’s sure she’ll come to regret that.

“I’m curious, is there going to be a practical portion of class?”

“Of course not!” She exclaims, affronted by the very idea of actually learning something useful.

“Then the only material that will be covered is in the book?”

“Yes. The ministry feels there is no need to teach you something so dangerous.”

“I’ll be sure to inform the Fuhrer of this. I’m sure he’ll be very interested in the Ministries method of teaching.”

She has the nerve to look proud of herself.

“Especially since the ministry seems to be hellbent on sabotaging your next generation.” That wiped the grin off her face. Ed gives her a smug smile.

“Why- why I’d never!” She exclaims indignantly at the accusation.

Ed lounges back and gives his best imitation of Mustang’s, you poor stupid person look. And seeing he’s often on the receiving end of it, there is a lot of source material to pull from.

“Your ministry is knowingly and intentionally ensuring the students have no way to protect themselves.”

“And what, Mr. Elric, would they need to defend themselves from?”

It’s a dare. She’s trying to bait him into saying Lord Asshat is back. But Ed has played this game too often to take the bait when it doesn’t benefit him in any way.

Harry, however, hasn’t learned that lesson yet.

“Oh I don’t know?” Harry interrupts, and Ed just wants to bang his head against a wall at the boy’s stupidity. “Voldemort?”

The toad's face turns this interesting shade of reddish purple that’s very unflattering. Well-- more unflattering than her normal face at least. “How dare you spread such lies and slander. Detention Mr. Potter. You are perfectly safe, the ministry will not tolerate such lies.” “Then I suppose Cedric dropped dead of his own accord.” Ed suppressed a groan, why does Harry insist on digging himself into a bigger hole? It may be hypocritical considering how often he’s done the same, but at least he either outranks the asshole, or they’re too terrified of him, Mustang or both of them to do anything. The first person who gave him trouble when he first joined was suddenly arrested for corruption.

It doesn’t take a genius to figure out how that happened. But Harry has none of these and is only going to make things worse for himself. 

“What happened to Mr. Diggory was a tradg-”

“It was murder!”

“Not to interrupt” Ed breaks in before things get any more heated. “But the danger I was referring to wasn’t lord what’s his face.”

“There is nothing you need to be afraid of Mr. Elric. The ministry is perfectly capable of protecting you and the students.” “So you plan to assign every student a bodyguard?” He mockingly raises an eyebrow at her. “I wasn’t aware you had such resources.”

“Why ever would we do that?”

“Well, that’s the only conceivable way I can imagine the ministry being able to protect students who aren’t allowed to defend themselves.”

“I’ve told you repeatedly Mr.Elric” Her irritation leaking into her voice. “That there is nothing you need to worry about.”

“And you seem to forget, Professor, that I am a State Alchemist. Meaning I work for the government, and have done so for years. I’m the one they send to catch the crackpot serial killer of the week. I’m the one they send to other countries to fight their wars. They send me, because I am the best they have. And in all the countries I’ve been to, people tend to be generally horrible to each other. Murder, rape, torture, human experimentation. I’ve seen it all. And if you think the wizarding world is somehow exempt from that, you and the ministry are incredibly naive. But if you want to bury your head in the sand and pretend all is well, then that's your prerogative. It’s not my dumpster fire, I’m returning to Amestris after this year. You’re the ones who’ll have to deal with the inevitable fall out.”

“Detention Mr. Elric!”

Ed leans back and shrugs. “Doesn’t make what I said any less true.”

“I’ll be informing the minister of this.”

“You go right ahead.” He waves off her threat uncaringly. Like Mustang will actually do anything. 

 “I doubt the Fuhrer will be pleased with your attitude.” She tries again, caught off guard by his lack of care.

“Hey it's been almost a week and I haven’t caused obscene amounts of property damage or an international incident yet. The bastard’ll probably make it a national holiday. I can see the headlines now, ‘Hero of the People goes one week without destroying anything, it’s a miracle’ or some such bullshit. You level a mountain once and they’ll never let you live it down.”

“A mountain?”

“It was in the way.”

“Of what?!” She asks incredulously.

“The idiot emperor was tired of people fighting over it, something about mining rights, so he decided if they couldn’t act like adults, then he’d just get rid of the problem. So he asked me to destroy the mountain and make a new city out of the material. No more mountain, no more annoying whining. It also had the added benefit of creating a new trade route.” 

It was also a not so subtle threat to the other clans to keep them in line. Because, ‘do what I tell you to or I’ll call that insane alchemist who destroyed a mountain because I asked him to’, is great motivation to stop dumbasses from getting any ideas. That and the constipated look the bastard got when he realized he couldn’t yell at him about it was fucking hilarious.

ahaha yep Farewell to Nova Scotia was playing in my head as I wrote this! I love living in my home state but ohhh boy do I pine for nova scotia’s sea-bound coast all summer… aww, your Bittersweet Hometown Odes sound even more bitter than ours ;o; (and on the topic of loving struggling or dreary places, have you ever watched Still Standing on CBC?)

i haven’t! but i should definitely make a note to, cbc is life

the odes i was thinking of were This is My Prairie and Short Native Grasses, both by Corb Lund but we also have an entire genre dedicated to YEEHAW IM BACK IN ALBERTA, SUCK IT TORONTO/MONTANA/SASK/BC! including Alberta Bound by Gordon Lightfoot, Hurtin’ Albertan by Corb Lund, and Alberta Bound by Paul Brandt (hey if the theme aint broke dont fix it)

Battle of Alberta Chapter 6: Cloud Minding pg. 3

Another story about the personified cities (and towns) of the wild rose province in a land known to some as Canada. Cloud Minding shifts the focus from the big cities to the more rural areas, where lives and livelihoods are drifting away from traditional industries towards tourism. Updates every other Friday, fingers crossed.

<< [ First ] < [ Previous ] - [ Next ] >

It’s been another rough year.

Grain elevators are so iconic. I get torn between the frustration that the rest of Canada seems to think we’re only grain elevators and the frustration that people don’t seem to know how important and interesting they have been historically here! There are very few of them left and operating. There are a couple great examples here in the Edmonton area, such as one at the Ukrainian Village north of the city, the Spruce Grove Grain Elevator Museum to the west, and one inside the Reynold’s Museum in Wetaskiwin to the south. I’m sure there are numerous other examples across the prairies of these “Prairie Sentinels” or “Prairie Giants”.

The Vulcan Pioneer elevator is one of two still standing around the town, there’s a brewery in the area called “Nine in a Line” in honour of the former elevators.

easter eggs

- ag-tradge (agricultural tragedy) is the self-proclaimed genre of music played by Corb Lund (a southern AB icon who is currently fighting the province over strip mining in the rockies)

things I don’t miss

do you want to buy something and you live in a small town? your only choice is the nearest city with a wal mart or a canadian tire :) now amazon also exists but that’s also a problem, obviously.
