Tagged by @irregularcollapse for "nine people i want to get to know better" —thank you.

LAST SONG? Currently playing through all of Testuo and Youth by Lupe Fiasco.

FAVORITE COLOR? Usually would say gray, but maybe pumpkin at this point?

CURRENTLY WATCHING? Nothing television-wise. My latest YouTube video was likely "The Lost Art of Flashbacks: Interview with the Vampire" by Sarah Zedig.

LAST MOVIE? Train to Busan (2016).

SWEET/SPICY/SAVORY? Spicy food makes me feel something.

RELATIONSHIP STATUS? Open-Polycule.

CURRENT OBSESSIONS? Desperately trying to find the perfect yarn for a specific project, finishing Oracle of Seasons after 19 years, hand-sewing button-up shirts, thinking of how I would transpose pieces for my lyre, MLIS coursework.

LAST THING YOU GOOGLED? Unrelated to citation? Rain World wiki for a fic.

Nine tags with no pressure attached in general, but also because everyone seems very busy right now:

@coldwind-shiningstars, @uncannycory, @alienbabydraws (not sure if you respond from an art account?), @spacejammie-eimmajecaps, @ezdotjpg, @vlad-the-lad, @seserakh, @wutheringmights, @so-i-did-this-thing

We all joke about how silly Terry Pratchett’s character names can be, particularly as regards a certain golden conman, but everyone MUST agree that he was EXTREMELY good at naming witches:

Esmerelda Weatherwax Gytha Ogg Magrat Garlick Perspicacia Tick ”Black” Aliss Demurrage Erzulie Gogol Hilta Goatfounder Desiderata Hollow Gwinifer Blackcap Beryl Dismass Ammeline Hamstring

I just think it’s fun that the Librarian is one of the longest-running characters in the Discworld series, right alongside Rincewind.  He was in The Colour of Magic!  He appears in so many books, too, in a few of the different book-arcs and even the standalones!

But at the same time, I also think it’s hilarious that the Librarian was turned into an orangutan within the timespan the series covers.  It happened during The Light Fantastic.  And yet by the time of Sourcery and Guards! Guards!, just a few books later, people are just like ‘oh that’s the Librarian.��  It’s not just wizards who accept this as mundane reality, even!  The Librarian goes out on the town regularly enough that many regular Ankh-Morpork citizens have already learned the golden rule which is Don’t Call the Librarian a Monkey, not too long after his transformation!

This is so realistic to human nature tbh, and yet still wild to think about.

No one is finally dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away—until the clock he wound up winds down, until the wine she made has finished its ferment, until the crop they planted is harvested. The span of someone’s life, they say, is only the core of their actual existence.

--“Reaper Man”

‘Haven’t you ever heard the saying “Man’s not dead while his name is still spoken”?’

--”Going Postal”

People will always remember the songs he never had the chance to sing.   And they will be the greatest songs of all. Live your life in a moment. And then live forever.  Don’t fade away.

--“Soul Music”

Writing Comms

Hey! So it turns out... I need money to live!

If’n you like my work and you’d like to support me, you can shoot me a DM and I’ll write you a short 1-2k word story for the low low price of $15 USD.

We can negotiate on length and content--I’m mostly a Homestuck kink author, but I’m willing to try to tackle other things!

Examples of my work can be found here.

i’ve decided i’m going to liveblog my reread of the run and go by @simmonsized​, because life is short and i might as well spend it taking notes on fanfiction i like! consider this my foreword for the work, both that of the author and the blogging to come.

what can i say about the run and go, hereafter shortened to rng?

i can say that i’ve read it through several times already--you don’t post a strider-centric longfic on ao3 without catching my attention, alas. i am simply obsessed.

i can also say that the idea of doing this particular fic as a liveblog is in no small part due to this lovely post i reblogged recently, which very artfully summarizes rng’s premise and furthermore details what draws me to the strilonde family as a whole.

i have, my entire life, been a little obsessed with doppelgangers. the quote-unquote evil double, the broken mirror, one idea but a little to the left. my original characters tend to propagate themselves as iterations of one another, in relation to one another. foils, reflections, translations.

rng goes at the concept of self-and-other and just runs right the fuck away with it. dysfunctional family fractals make these halls and they are fascinating. i think the thing that caught me first, a thing that i bring up all the time talking about this fic to my long-suffering lover, is what turns into the refusal to other dave into davesprite--the nuance that goes into that choice, even when it isn’t always CONVENIENT for everyone - even us as readers - is something that has always struck me.

but let’s save some analysis for the reread, huh! at 504,625 words as of this posting, rng is a long piece of work, and i am going to try to go chapter by chapter, SOOOO... let’s! get! moving!

   The universe spits you out straight onto the roof where you entered the game, and you catch yourself with your face.

   --

   Davesprite struggles with being the Other Dave. Bro is back from the dead, and the Strider apartment is about two times too crowded for everyone involved. Reconciliation takes time and effort, and forgiveness is a thing to be earned.    You have to try, and when that's not enough, you have to try HARDER.

@hexcitrine​ mercy, mercy, you have twisted my arm and i will get started on davesprite lalonde.

vital context for this kidswap is that for the most part everything proceeds as normal. i don’t have a LOT of the details worked out, but the meat of it is that dave and rose were swapped at birth. this is not some great sburb conspiracy--it’s fully unintentional. rose’s eyes are still their lovely violet, and dave’s are red as shitty koolaid. have no fucking idea how this happened. could have been a meteor mix-up. bro and momlonde could’ve met up and gone ‘fuck it let’s trade.’

i concede to knowing Nothing and i apologize.

THAT SAID!

rose strider is a girl of so many sharp angles and suspicions that even her friends have trouble getting along with her at the best of times, and dave lalonde could never take jade’s place as the loneliest girl in the world but his mother’s alcoholism drives him to a sort of lowkey highkey desperation for sober approval that does not come to him often.

so lime, you might be wondering, where does davesprite come in?

and i will answer by copy-pasting my original ramble...

shit. fuck. fuck... a series of events in my head:

dave lalonde and rose strider's doomed timeline, where john went and got himself killed and jade vanished. they know that something needs to be done to rewind the clock, to right the wrongs that have been committed. this whole thing will go off the rails otherwise.

assume rose is a seer of time. she sees the confluence of timelines, the endless deaths. she knows the path to take to find the timeline she is looking for, and she can guide others to that timeline - that may involve being able to time travel with other people ? classpecting is so weird, forgive my transgressions

so she and dave spend two or three months in their broken, doomed offshoot timeline. rose knows what she needs to do from the moment things go south, but

against everything she's been raised to do, against the brutal, scalpel sharp efficiency that has been beaten into her by word and blade alike... she doesn't commit to immediately. she will. she will. she just needs Time. time to spend with dave before she does what she needs to do.

but when the months have gone by and she realizes her resolve is trying to weaken, she cuts it out of herself. she says her goodbyes.

she sends dave back.

because dave is still john's best friend, because dave is light and they'll need all the luck they can get--a court doesn't need more than one seer, but a few knights might do the trick.

she may have... misled him about what was going to happen. about who was going to be left behind.

davesprite is fucking bereft.

what i imagine you get is not just a dave who is angry about being the back-up dave, but a dave simultaneously furious with rose for doing this to him and to herself. he spent three long months with her and somehow he never knew?

whole lotta messy betrayal, i think. whole lotta love made incandescent rage.

My #1 post of 2022

Do you have dirk/dave recs?

boy do i! here's a few

pleonasms by nuclearwinter - no-game au. a series of one-shots that at once strikes me as tender and hilarious. dirk helps dave out with his sexuality, among other things. ;)

phase change by actinide - 14k, post-epilogues but not hs2 compliant. it's got a lot of good metanarrative shit and is altogether a very interesting piece of work. it has a very good sequel in sublimination that i would also recommend, featuring so many of dirk's messy feelings and how they affect everyone else.

dungeons & striders by mortior - 31k, d&d au. dirk is a lich and dave is a paladin! it's extremely fun and if you like d&d or fantasy in general you will take deep pleasure in this.

find me at sea (and tell me why you never loved me) by blackestofmarkets - 23k. dirk's up and vanished and dave goes to find him. a long and thoughtful meditation on movement and searching, which i like very much.

imitation games by centaur - 2.6k, post-game. one-sided but also really interesting and thought-provoking? dirk's running scenarios, as he does.

disengage, calibrate by applejuice_motherfucker - 14k, no-game au. continuing the trend of the fic above, this is also one-sided dirkdave, but sometimes you need to take a sip of the ANGST, babes! there's so much yearning... it's so good. (i started writing a sequel to this. maybe eventually it will see the light of day)

trial run by jalules & is it enough? do you think it's too much? by cmdonovann - 3.9k & 5k, post-game. okay enough sad and/or longish fic let's finish off with some PORN!!! trial run is a good hypnosis fic and is it enough? is a sequel from another author that is very good!!! hypno on both sides. delicious.

@uncannycory

Yay, unsolicited advice time! Or, not really advice, more like miscellaneous tips and tricks, because if there's one thing eight years of martial arts has equipped me to write, it's fight scenes.

.

Fun things to add to a fight scene (hand to hand edition)

It's not uncommon for two people to kick at the same time and smack their shins together, or for one person to block a kick with their shin. This is called a shin lock and it HURTS like a BITCH. You can be limping for the rest of the fight if you do it hard enough.

If your character is mean and short, they can block kicks with the tip of their elbow, which hurts the other guy a lot more and them a lot less

Headbutts are a quick way to give yourself a concussion

If a character has had many concussions, they will be easier to knock out. This is called glass jaw.

Bad places to get hit that aren't the groin: solar plexus, liver, back of the head, side of the thigh (a lot of leg kicks aim for this because if it connects, your opponent will be limping)

Give your character a fighting style. It helps establish their personality and physicality. Are they a grappler? Do they prefer kicks or fighting up close? How well trained are they?

Your scalp bleeds a lot and this can get in your eyes, blinding you

If you get hit in the nose, your eyes water

Adrenaline's a hell of a drug. Most of the time, you're not going to know how badly you've been hurt until after the fact

Even with good technique, it's really easy to break toes and fingers

Blocking hurts, dodging doesn't

.

Just thought these might be useful! If you want a more comprehensive guide or a weapons edition, feel free to ask. If you want, write how your characters fight in the comments!

Have a bitchin day <3

Your recent drawing of Bro has an odd resemblance to Anthony Bourdain in my mind somehow. Do what you will with this information

I showed this ask to @uncannycory and they made me a masterpiece.

Also we drooled over pics of Anthony for a good bit. 👍 thanks pal
