#virtue moir timeline

[rovky]

you already know i adore your writing and am constantly in awe of your storytelling, but out of curiosity how did you plan your fic 'ice & blades'? it has such a specific technical aspect (knowing figure skating, specifically pairs, and the sport and global competitions themselves), as well as your portrayal of marinette which requires so much in depth knowledge and care re: neurodivergent people, the abuse she experienced, and her chinese culture. it feels like there's a lot of research that went into this, or it's in depth personal knowledge, and i'm guessing you're a fan of figure skating. i am wondering how much work went into preparing to write this work, or what you did to accurately refer to these things?

What a cool questionnnn!!! Thanks for asking it genuinely! I definitely did have to do a bunch of research as I lack a decent amount of knowledge when it comes to the vast majority of things haha. There's certainly a lot of room for error when browsing the internet for information (and I'm totally positive that more or less of the figure skating content in my fic is riddled with errors). I've been a fan of figure skating ever since I watched the video of Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir's Moulin Rouge skate at the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games (which for some reason was only last year, and is actually ice dance not pairs figure skating). When researching figure skating I usually stick to official guides about program requirements, personal blogs of other skaters/fans (usually to reference specific elements and training schedules), and documentaries/books.

Additional things (such as culture, food, and history) are mostly from my own personal knowledge (from friends, acquaintances, or things I've learned throughout schooling). I have done my VERY best to research (and have asked friends from China) Chinese culture, traditions, and holidays as that is something that I'm generally unaware of. Definitely find learning about that stuff INCREDIBLY interesting though, and I thoroughly enjoy it!

As for Marinette being neurodivergent, I have to say that a lot of it comes from what I already know and some of my own personal experience. It's also been very helpful to have others give their two cents as well. Of course, if there's something I'm unsure of I'll do some research online (though, I'm a bit hesitant to use 'medical-ish' websites, and like to stick to blogs with personal insights).

As for the abuse that Marinette has gone through, it's genuinely (and I'm sad that this is the case) not very hard to find stories of people who have gone through the same thing. Unfortunately, nowadays there can be a lot of opportunities for young athletes to be taken advantage of, especially young women. You see problem areas in gymnastics, ballet, and figure skating (lots of sports that women are traditionally associated with), and it's heartbreaking. I think that's important to acknowledge, and that not all abuse is as extreme as Marinette's, though I'm certain that any abuse is undoubtedly impactful.

Basically, I just wanted to write a story about love (Marinette's love for figure skating, the way she comes to understand her capabilities of loving others through that medium, and just how the way she sees the world can be changed by building connections that foster self-discovery) and am now stuck with a giant doc of timelines, research, character stuff, and figure skating jargon.

BUT YEAH! Big into learning and researching things on my own. Love sitting on a mountain of knowledge that I probably won't be able to bring up in conversation ever LOL.

[purple-jupiter-ascending]

(x)

[scottskiddo]

you’re cold and i burn, i guess i’ll never learn... 

[duck-era-lexi]

back on my virtue/moir bs from march of this year and i am much less hyperfixated than i was in the spring. can definitely say it is 90% due to 1) they’re hot and 2) they are crazy with the emotions< assuming/implied that this is acting. which in that case they are fucking amazing actors probably the best in the fucking world

scott moir in particular; i think he’s the one who’s like selling these over the top emotional expressions. also whoever is choreographing these dances is horny af because they are so like... intimate. i would never watch this with my mom you know? i fr think that tessa’s out of his league though, like he prolly has a legit crush on her but she doesn’t like him back

[otherpens]

God bless whoever coined ‘cunniliftus’ for That Move in the Virtue/Moir Moulin Rouge routine because we were ALL THINKING IT and even the CBC commenters were like “oh nice they’ve changed it with the position of the knee, made the transition faster, which is better aesthetically” but hONESTLY we all realized that if they held that lift any longer it starts to give the impression that they’re both having more fun with it than is acceptable for an all-ages event.

[delphiine]

DELPHINE ESMER: INTRO.

hi, hello, bonjour! for those who haven’t seen my intro on discord (something i’m still super new to, so be kind with me while i try to figure it out!), my name is laurie (22, she/her, est timezone; your friendly neighborhood confused but enthusiastic french canadian!) and i play the lovely delphine who’s portrayed by hande erçel aka one of the most beautiful humans on earth! delphine is a former ice skater champion & currently a youtuber. she’s very easygoing, supportive and friendly! so pls, give her all the friends! friendship connections are my favourites, but i don’t think i need to tell you, it’s quite obvious.

here’s a few more details about delphine:

born and raised in montréal in a bilingual household (will say bonjour/hi unironically)

her parents are big into competitions... hence why she was already competiting at like 10 years-old

she’s a MACHINE she was so skilled and disciplined and talented and the inevitable happened: she became a national and north american champion.

skated all of her life. at 24, she was forced to stop because of personal issues (such as a breakup with her skating partner, very sad) -- just picture tessa virtue and scott moir but more dramatic and less perfect and younger and actually in love.

she’s filming cute videos with some friendly and lowkey vibes (think amandarachlee but less journaling obviously).

she is visiting whistler for the very first time! you’ll catch her at the dog sledding, horse back riding and ice skating areas. and you best believe she’ll have full instagram photoshoots at vallea lumina! big big big fan of maple taffy on snow, hot cocoa, snow angels and the aesthetic of hallmark channel christmas movies <3

i’m way easier to reach via IMs, but if you want to add me on discord to plot, here’s the little thingy: lauriie#9283 (group chats give me anxiety ;-; so i’m sorry if i’ll mostly just lurk around the channels but won’t do much over there unless you contact me privately!).

READ HER BIOGRAPHY. SOME STATISTICS. A NEAT LITTLE TIMELINE. SOME WANTED PLOTS TOO.

—Why did I choose this song?

This is not the most beautiful video ever. Not even close. But, there’s something special about it.

Chris Mann’s song, “Remember Me”, talks about Alzheimer. This disease make the person forget all the beautiful and unique memories, friends, family... theirselves.

But, in another perspective, this song show us how sick we can be without notice.

We have 24 hours to spend everyday, and sometimes we don’t even spend 5 minutes to call one friend, have dinner with our family or just keep some time for ourselves. We forget the persons we love, we forget the persons we used to be, and some persons forgets us too. And when we notice that, so many years have passed away, and we lost special moments to the cruel and fast time.

A new morning is like a “list of what i need to do”: is the start of a new chance to slow up this ‘Alzheimer’. Is when we accept that mission again - making sure people don’t forget us, no matter how many years passes by our bodies.

I was a privileged to be born in Virtue Moir’s timeline. Maybe too young to have a solid opinion about their life steps, but not too young to notice all the passion, grace and generosity that surrounds them. We should fall in love with beautiful souls, beautiful hearts, and not beautiful faces. And it was so easy with Tessa and Scott.

Thousands of persons are making posts today. People who really appreciate all the wonderful legacy they’ve built, and still building. Wish I can build unique stories and memories, and live enough time to tell them to my loved ones. For now, I follow this beautiful example. I try to make life worth the f*cking way!

I need someone to remember me who I am. And I think I found the right persons.

So, this is my choice. I’m making sure I can finish this mission successfully.

Gillovny timeline 2018 (part 1/2)

I usually post the timeline every six months, so I’m a little late this year, but here it is, right before the first Gillovny Con of the year!

As usual, feel free to tell me if I forgot something!

Here’s the full timeline since 2016

#BTS

January 3rd: 

- For The X-Files season 11 premiere on Fox, Gillian posted this picture of David, Chris and herself. “Gangs all here! Tonight at 8/7c.”

- And this picture of David and Mitch. “Ooh don’t they look spiffy?”

Walk of Fame

January 8th:

- David couldn’t be at Gillian’s ceremony but he left her a sweet message. “Gillian, you said you would be next to me when you died, too. Well, you were right. But this isn’t death, it’s a beginning. So much more to come for you. In the meantime, I hope your fans sprinkle chocolate on your star the occasional Hollywood midnight and some kind soul builds a Gilly ramp from your star to mine. We will always be joined as partners, friends, and neighbors. Congratulations Gillian. Love, David” (watch the full ceremony)

- A guy made both Gillian and David sign a picture of them at their respective ceremonies. Here’s what happened. 

- David liked a tweet with an “heart-eyes emoji” and the picture of Gillian’s star ceremony. (source)

#TCA, #TBT, #BTS and The ChemistryTM 

January 10th: Gillian keeps going on with the red speedo. “Because I wasn’t in this scene and because this isn’t disappointing, I’m putting this out there.” 

January 12th:

- David makes up tells a new story about how they met for the first time: “Celebrating 25 years, makes me look back when I first met Gillian. It was during the casting, I was looking for some matches and she took them out and approached me, just like that, without saying a word.” (read the interview)

- David and Gillian did a panel for the TCA and have been asked about their chemistry. Gillian said: “And I feel like just this year, I’ve developed a whole new appreciation for the uniqueness of what people always ask me about and referred to, “What about your chemistry,” and, you know, “You got chemistry,” you know? But it was it’s special. And it’s a chemistry that often there are elements of it that show up when we’re, you know, side by side doing interviews, but most of it shows up” (read the full panel report)

January 14th: Gillian changed her Ebay icon to this picture.

January 17th: Gillian tweeted this video of a bear on the set, a call back to this story. 

January 24th:

- Gillian tweeted this little video of David. “2,945,002...2,945,003..”

- And this picture. “Scully drove. Her feet reached the pedals.”

January 31st: Gillian posted this picture. “Just when you think life’s a peach....” and later, this set of pictures of she and David. “A series.”

February 2nd: On a podcast, David is asked about his relationship with Gillian: “there’s a personal history that’s strong, there’s a personal history kind of encompasses this life changing and career making enterprise that we did together. We have that bond of like having started when we were just kind of individual people and then becoming this huge thing and only the other one knows what that’s like. And then we have all this acting that we’ve done together so I don’t think we even try to play any kind of anything.“ (listen to the full podcast)

February 7th: Gillian posted this picture. “Killing time between takes.”

February 9th: Gillian retweeted David’s release of his new album.

February 19th: During an interview in Australia, David is asked about his friendship with Gillian: 

Interviewer: “But you’re friends. You’re mates. You’re back doing it?”

DD: I can see that you are concerned.

Interviewer: I am concerned. This is a big deal to me. I need to know.

DD: We are friends. We are friends. (watch the interview).

February 20th: Gillian posted this manip of Virtue & Moir with their faces. “Did we win?”

February 28th:

- Gillian posted this little video of David and Darin Morgan and the blobfish. “Which of these three is not like the others?”

- And this picture of David. “Safety first.”

March 7th: Gillian posted this picture of she and David. “Very serious episodes call for a throwback to a smile”

March 14th: Gillian posted this little video of David. “Getting ready for a night out!”

March 21st: Gillian posted this #tbt. “Lara Croft for dummies.”

More #BTS, Cons’, mutual admiration and dick songs

April 8th:

- Gillian was in Belgium for the Facts Convention. During the panel, she said that her favorite part of the revival was to work with David again. (source)

- She also said about David: “David and I become really good friends over the years. We become closer over the years. At the end of the day, we realized that we were probably the only two people who were ever going to have the experience that we had together. So, there was something special in all of that to celebrate and to respect and to honor. It helped us to slow down and lean in to the friendship.“ (watch the full panel)

April 28th: David gave a “confirm or deny” interview to The New-York Times: 

Interviewer: You’ve never read Gillian Anderson’s sci-fi novels?

DD: Deny.

Interviewer: You’ve never socialized with Gillian.

DD: We’ve gone out to dinner. You know, between five and 10 times.

(Read the full interview)

May 1st: Gillian tweeted for David’s book Miss Subways’ release. “Yup he’s done it again!“

May 17th: David is on a radio show when this singer has a particular song for him. “Stick it in Gillian.”

May 21st:

- And this video of David. “Sploded head prep”.

- And this manip. “Wait...I thought this was what's next.”

June 17th: David and Mitch are at the Alien Con. 

- Here’s David’s theory about what Gillian might have whispered during the church scene. 

- And David telling the neck brace prank again. 

(Watch the full panel)

June 29th: Gillian’s makeup artist for a photoshoot called David “her partner”. Kinda... (source)

The X-Files season 11 BTS are out!

July 19th:

- A few clips from The X-Files season 11 DVD start to leak, starting with the now famous “goodbye Mister Duchovny”, (full video)

- Then the even more famous “I love you.” “You too.” 

- And the gags real, of course. 

(here’s a masterpost with links to all the BTS, here are some screenshots of the documentaries, a little video of the church scene BTS)

#WTFTM

- Gillian wishes David a happy birthday. “Happy Birthday Mr. Duchovny!”

- David responded. “The gift that keeps giving...”

August 9th:

- David wishes her back. “Right back at ya Ms. Anderson...Happy Birthday!“

2018 fic roundup

Buffyverse

well tell her that I miss our little talks So Hurry Up and Lose Me, Hurry Up and Find Me (Again) Here We Are, Trapped (But Is It a Trap If I'm With You?) To All Our Histories Which Haven't Yet Happened

MCU

But A Walking Shadow Out of the Frying Pan Hand in Hand, Side by Side to walk to where you are sleeping To The Neighborhood Oh, But Aren't You Already My Darling? By Those Who Show Up Stitch Together In Spirit of the Season Childhood Friends

Veronica Mars

not just about being new (it’s about a change)

1. Looking back, did you write more fic than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you’d predicted?:

Still not predicting, but probably around the predictable amount? I've gotten a little longer, I think, but I'm writing fewer stories overall, and I've really fallen into a few specific fandom categories - haven't added a new one in a while.

2. What pairing/genre/fandom did you write that you would never have predicted in January?:

Dick/OC. Dick/anyone was a surprise. I'm generally frustrated and uninterested in Dick, so taking him on as a main character - when typically he's been a side role in my fic at best - is unexpected. I was just really drawn to the prompt.

3. What’s your own favorite story of the year? Not the most popular, but the one that makes you happiest?

I'm really proud of To The Neighborhood. I like the POV, I think the character flowed well, it has a particular tone throughout, and everything is built using small details without info dumps. And I'm always a big fan of domesticity too - sweet, settled life is always a joy for me to write!

4. Did you take any writing risks this year? What did you learn from them?

It's weird to say at this point, but I think I've been playing around with AUs a little too much. Here We Are, Trapped (But Is It a Trap If I'm With You?) and Hand in Hand, Side by Side are really prime examples of this: they aren't just timeline changes or ways of placing the characters in similar roles in non supernatural settings, they are way, way big and entire AUs. I really like them conceptually - ya girl loves a good (or not good!) romcom - but they are really quite out of the ordinary. I guess I learned that I kinda don't care - I wrote it because I liked it, and I had fun with it!

5. Do you have any fanfic or profic goals for the New Year?

Nah. I finished my Woman Borne sequel, which was the goal I had set at the beginning of last year, and I'm probably just going to resign my work on my too ambitious Chase/Cameron fic, so I'm good.

6. From my past year of writing, what was…

Story Most Underappreciated by the Universe:

But A Walking Shadow. I'm not afraid to say how sad I am about this. I'm really, intensely proud of this story: the writing is good, the characters are good, it's lengthy (for me), it's chapter fic, it's part of a universe I've already worked on, there's action instead of just Emotional Talking - it felt like I did everything right, and it still didn't make a difference.

Most Fun:

Hand in Hand, Side by Side probably - I like Steve/Peggy and a Virtue/Moir AU for them was a blast to write. But I actually had a lot of fun with a bunch of them!

Most Disappointing:

By Those Who Show Up is a little too liberal wonky - too much political talk, not quite enough emotional buildup. To All Our Histories Which Haven't Yet Happened is also a little exhausting and repetitive in concept and would have probably been better if there were more substance between the little stories, but I really like the title, so that helps it out.

Most Sexy:

Steve and Peggy end up in a bed and kiss there in Oh, But Aren't You Already My Darling? so ha ha ha, that is extremely sexy!

Hardest to Write:

They kinda ended up in either the "it took four days from beginning to final edit" category, or the "I'm afraid I might just be writing this for the next several years" one this time around. I took a lot of care with But A Walking Shadow, and I stopped writing Childhood Friends for a while to work on other stuff and there was a point where I couldn't make In Spirit of the Season not incredibly depressing and a piece of Peggy character assassination, but most of my Buffy fics were like this (well tell her that I miss our little talks was the exception - that's why it's listed as posted like three weeks before the rest of them).

Most Unintentionally Telling:

As I was writing In Spirit of the Season, I literally said aloud, "I think I might have something weird going on internally with motherhood."

Choice Lines:

From But A Walking Shadow:

The force of her fingers, the directness of her gaze: for a moment he fears that she is about to kiss his mouth with the desperate confidence he’d felt before he’d boarded Schmidt’s plane. But instead, she leans up and presses her lips beneath his ear. He shivers; he always does, there, and she knows that.

He just can’t think of the noise and the flames, the collapse, when his mind and heart and guts weigh so human inside him.

The anger is worn and so tired inside of him.

"I don’t want to kill you,” says the man, pushing the words out. The soldier's arm, built to last, built to kill, shakes at the thought that he will die gasping. “And I don’t want to die. And I can’t bring you to meet my family like this.” His frame trembles. His eyes are magnified, wide as the stars.

There is such future and fragility in yet.

He remembers the way she fit in two hands the first time he held her, how she sometimes trips downstairs and curls up sleepily in his lap when he comes back from a run early in the morning. He loves her so much. Finally, he hugs her. “Have a good day, sweetheart,” he says, and lets her go.

From to walk to where you are sleeping:

“Enough is enough,” she tells herself most mornings, when she wakes up gritty-eyed and already teary from dreaming. “Enough is enough,” when she wants to tell Steve about her day, when she spots hair like his from the corner of her eye, when she has another lonely cup of tea at her table, when she wants just a bit of his optimism to drive her onward. “It was two years out of more than twenty, it is time to be done with mourning, enough is enough.” And then one night she opens her eyes into the darkness of her bedroom and tells herself, “Enough.”

He is here, he is here: what fragile and disturbing joy.

She watched so many good people die - not just Steve, not just her brother, but the boys who came from her home village, and the sweet air force pilot she’d kissed on the New Year of 1940, and the lady who’d sold ice cream through the Blitz and been suffocated by an improperly constructed Anderson shelter - and perhaps she doesn’t have to turn her grief out of doors and lock herself up.

From To The Neighborhood:

For a moment, she regrets not having one of those emergency call buttons that her daughter Joan (Dr. Oglethorpe hasn’t been allowed to call her Joanie in years) recommends when she makes her monthly call from Columbus, or at least a cellular phone.

From Oh, But Aren't You Already My Darling?:

Steve rests his hands on her wrists, so gentle, and she wants to cry. “Peg,” he says quietly, “can you maybe track me down a pair of pants? I know my legs aren’t really working yet, but I’ve had enough of showing off in a hospital gown for one lifetime.”

From By Those Who Show Up:

“Hell yeah,” says Bucky. “I was over there ten years and only lost an arm. Six months of doing this with you and I’ve basically lost my life.” He runs a hand through his hair. “I’m thinning up top, Steve, I swear to God.”

From well tell her that I miss our little talks:

(Note to self: start organizing things on the kitchen calendar. Note to self: get a kitchen calendar.)

There's basically cartoony whistling sound, like her optimism is Wile E. Coyote falling off a cliff.

She hugged a pillow against her chest. She’d sign him up for a couple of community college mailing lists; maybe sitting in the back of some dense philosophy class would remind him why college wasn’t for everyone, or at least distract him. Her luck: he’d get all nerdy enthusi-Angel and just double down on the college fun talk. She really missed him. “Anyway,” she recalled herself. “I’m thinking maybe going all in on the spick and span could have something to do with you turning the dial up to Angel on the Broodometer.”

"....You’re allowed to think that you’re worth more than him, even if he was the one with the pulse.”

From So Hurry Up and Lose Me, Hurry Up and Find Me (Again):

Also, Angel has to be worried about being ‘busted, and not just in the Dust way.

How glad she is for him, knowing what he’s been through, knowing for herself how frightening it is to dangle unsupported and exhaust yourself hoping for a loving hand.

When Willow is like this, firm steps and a commanding voice, closed eyes as she puts a hand on the last sorcerer's shoulder, it’s hard for Buffy to hold in her mind Willow shy and sweet at sixteen. But then Will nods to Buffy, and without a thought, Buffy fells the robed woman. They’ve both changed. Neither of them will ever be sixteen again.

From Here We Are, Trapped (But Is It a Trap If I'm With You?):

“No. I’m counting on you to do the right thing for everyone, even if it might happen to include you.” 

From To All Our Histories Which Haven't Yet Happened:

“He was younger than I am now, and older than you would want to be.” 

From Childhood Friends:

Peggy, who had spent the afternoon she received the letter holding the hand of a boy - and he had been a boy - as he screamed and screamed toward death, had delayed replying, as she had not been able to summon a response to such grievances for nearly a week.

That she had spent her childhood at this very house with her dresses in a hopeless muddle and her knees insistently grass-stained, and that Steve had recently seen her in both a wrinkled nurse’s uniform after a night shift and indifferent mourning crepe below a tear-stained face, made her only more determined to put her best foot forward in this encounter.

...and Peggy concentrated on the feeling of his hand in hers, on the heat of him through his jacket, and felt despair and grave hope.

But her husband, who remembered a similar expression on his own mother’s face when he had professed his intention to marry Amanda, upon hearing whose surname even Charles II would have replied “Whom?” pulled her toward himself once more and said only, “Let them dance.”
