Ok I've had a very random train of thoughts and now wanna compile it into post.

Some MM characters computer-related (???) headcanons lol

Riley:

Has above average knowledge of Excel/Google sheets due to studying finance, but after four years with no practise forgot most of it.

The "Sooon, I have a problem" person in their family. Actually, surprisingly good and patient at explaining computer stuff to older people.

Has a higher responsibility of doing taxes (finance, after all). Even he never fails to do them right, Ed always double checks. Sometimes they get into argument, where inevitably Riley proves he is right but his father would never admit it.

Warren, Leeza, Ooker and other teens:

Also nothing outstanding in terms of skills, except few of them have interest in IT.

They have bunch of small local Discord servers and one big main server with some very stupid name.

Few times Bev tried to bring up importance of parental control over this "new and rapidly growing young community", but thanks God no one took her concerns seriously

Leeza moderates it and her moder role called "Mayor-mini". Like father like daughter.

All teens local jokes and memes were bourn/spread though that server.

Bev:

Rumors says she sacrificed her humanity to obtain such powers with Microsoft software package.

Can build up Access database from scratch, using basic SQL commands, assemble primitive, but surprisingly sufficient interface to it and synchronize it with Excel in span of one day or less.

In her laptop there're every pupil's personal file, countless Excel tables, several automatised document accounts, Google calendar with precisely planned schedule for next several months (for school, church, island and personal matters) and probably Pentagon files.

Probably can find all Pi numbers with Excel formulas.

Never lets anyone to her laptop.

Spends her free time at different forums, mostly gardening-related.

Wade:

Made a very fucking poor decision to let Bev do all the legwork with digital document accounting.

Now has no idea how some of things even work, so just goes with a flow and does what Bev tells.

No wander she got away with embezzlement.

Knows about kid's server. Very proud of Leeza for managing it :)

Because of that, he knows one or two memes from there, but keeps them in secret.

Has hobby of fixing office equipment. Does it with Sturge in spare time due to Dupuytren's contracture not letting him operate his hand fully.

Sarah:

There's no good medical technicians on island, so when something goes wrong with equipment electronics - tries to fix it herself to best of her ability.

Always monitors electronic e-shops for spare details or equipment. Grows more and more addicted to it.

Frequently updates her selection of sites with useful medical information, because Erin asked her for help guiding teens though puberty. For that receives glances from Bev, but doesn't give a shit.

Has reputation of cool aunt among kids, so she was one and only adult invited to main Discord server. Didn't accept it (doesn't even have Discord acc), but still grateful for trust.

Plays solitaire a lot.

John:

Back when he was playing Paul, Bev asked him to do something with Excel. In conclusion, poor bastard had to learn basic computer skills and Excel in span of several days. Now he is traumatized for rest of his life.

Will do all the work manually just to not touch laptop again.

Upsets very easly when does something wrong.

Doesn't own laptop. Don't give that man laptop, he will cry.

By his own will uses it only to watch baseball. Always asks someone to help with that.

Warren Flynn watching Riley and Ed beef it out

[peachfolk]

The story ended before the monster died of its wounds but you gotta believe that it died anyways.

The story ended before the survivors got rescued but you gotta believe that they lived anyways.

Because what is an open-ended story if not a matter of faith?

[fruityfrogfarts]

can we talk about how the Flynn's boat, more specifically Ed Flynn's, is named Annie?

Annie. after his wife. god, their love always guts me

[thranduilofsmirkwood]

Re-watching "Midnight Mass" and, I can't believe I'm saying this, I totally missed the ballsy humor in this scene the 1st time I watched.

When Erin shøøts Bev and calmly says "We have 5 minutes"... its solid gold.

Samantha Sloyan is such an incredible actress.

[tavoit]

I am not generally a fan of the "wife beater" shirt as a fashion statement

although it has shown up occasionally on this blog, on Beatty

and Brando

But I am rethinking my whole approach to this garment after seeing the dashing, sword-buckling Errol Flynn in one

[sonoraswinds]

he's so Nathan coded.

What is up with creators these days and purposefully spiteing their own audience? Like oh wow good job you made your fans upset and they decided to stop watching/playing/reading your stuff. And with some they go *surprise Pikachu face* when they lose money/viewership/players/etc (not sonic in that case but in others). This is an odd pattern I'm noticing in the last almost decade.

something something subverting expectations and uhhhhhhhhh twitter mentality? I'll always say that having creators so entangled with their fandom is a terrible thing that blurs boundaries too much.

Oh, but wait, because I remember something very juicy from Ian Flynn :) this was said in response to fans questioning the way he wrote Sonic in #50, with his ideology that everyone, even unrepentant villains, deserve freedom.

This is basically the SEGA standard. Just… more overtly stated, I guess. Um. This is how Sonic is, by SEGA, and this is basically me spelling it out for anyone who hasn't quite figured it out at this point.

His point of view is very simple and idealized, but it's also a children's fantasy. You know we're not going to be able to answer these high level moral questions that humanity has been grappling with since we had an understanding of morality to begin with. In a Sonic book this is introductory level. And if you're in your 20s and 30s and 40s and you don't find this surface level approach fully satisfying, go read adult material. Go read stuff that does delve into that and does try to tackle it, does something smarter. This is not something smarter."

Mfw you're so bad at accepting criticism that you're basically saying "listen I am writing a stupid story for stupid kids here, if you want something smarter go read another book". Like. Bro. Bro that's not how you keep your audience. Also fuck you for that "for anyone who hasn't quite figured it out at this point", you arrogant, condescending hack. People pay you to answer questions, at least be courteous!

Anyway, yeah. Writers got a little too confident recently. It's like they think (... or they know) that if their product is loved enough, it can withstand their rudeness.

Hi 😃 I pretty much have the rest of this year planned out for fanfictions. So, I was wondering...

I was just wanting an idea of what characters you would be interested in reading from me ✨

Thank you! ❤️

Royal Love!

'The Crown' reveals first look at young Will and Kate in Season 6 photos

From USA Today April 27, 2023

Netflix has unveiled images of the actors playing young-adult versions of Prince William and Princess Kate, back when she was a student at the University of St. Andrews in 2001 known as Kate Middleton.

From a third generation of royal romance to the major events the final episodes will cover, here's everything we know about Season 6 of "The Crown."

Who are the actors playing Will and Kate in 'The Crown'?

Will is played by Ed McVey, 23, a stage actor who makes his screen debut in the series. Meg Bellamy, 19, portrays Kate, and nabbed the role after submitting an audition tape following a casting call on social media.

"Ed and Meg filmed scenes for the upcoming series in St Andrews, Scotland, earlier this year,- enjoying some of the real-life locations that their characters frequented 20 years ago," Netflix said in its announcement.

Luther Ford will play Prince Harry. Earlier in the season, younger actors Rufus Kampa and Flynn Edwards will take on the roles of Will and Harry, respectively.

When does 'The Crown' Season 6 take place?

Season 5 left off in 1997, and the final season will cover Princess Diana's death that year. Will and Kate met at St. Andrews in 2001, so we now know the series will at least make it to the new millennium.

What will Season 6 of 'The Crown' cover?

Netflix offered few details, but in addition to Will and Kate , Bertie Carvel will play Prime Minister Tony Blair. He served as prime minister from 1997 to 2007. If the season spans  a decade, as others have, it could include the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, Queen Elizabeth's Golden Jubilee and the deaths of Princess Margaret (Lesley Manville) and Queen Mother (Marcia Warren).

When will 'The Crown' Season 6 premiere?

Netflix has not announced an official release date, but traditionally the series has streamed in November or December. Season 5 debuted in November 2022, two years after Season 4 bowed.

Is this the final season of 'The Crown'?

Creator and producer Peter Morgan has said that the series will end after six seasons, although he and Netflix initially said Season 5 would be the last. So you never know, we might get a version of Harry and Meghan to join Will and Kate.Rufus Kampa and Flynn Edwards

When I think about Warren and Cupcake I can't tell if their relationship is almost like Tiana and Naveen's from Princess and the frog or Tohru Honda and Kyo Shoma from Fruit Basket.....

(Just wait till I get through three months of learning how to draw.... Im gonna act up)

What would be your ranking of the best writers to have worked for the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise?

I don't know if I like the idea of doing this. One, because I don't feel entirely comfortable taking on this task, given I don't feel knowledgeable enough about the issue to speak intelligently on who is better than who, because it's a complex web of who actually wrote what. Sonic games, especially in the last ten years, often have multiple writers because different people in different regions contribute to a single game.

But also because like...

As much as story matters to Sonic (and it does, I have weighed doing a whole video about it), I feel like a lot of writers for this franchise have just been, like, clumsy? And innocently clumsy, a lot of the time. Clumsy like a teenager dipping their toes in to publishing on AO3.

And on the surface there's nothing wrong with that. I mean, yes, there is, this is a professional product being sold for cash money in a franchise that is getting old enough to develop its own mid-life crisis (and we're already there).

But, man, I dunno, the more I think about the people who actually wrote these stories, the actual individual humans and not the blanket "Sega" mothership, the more I feel bad ripping into them mercilessly like some fans tend to.

Is their work bad? Yeah. Most of it's bad. Most of them are game developers where their primary talent is probably something that wasn't writing a story, but they were the ones on the team that were the least bad at it, which then got filtered through early 2000's Sega localization and equally clumsily translated in to English, and then a voice director who only spoke English as a second language gave actors a list of lines to say without any context or scene description. So now their lines are all screwed up and sound weird, the script is all screwed up and is written weird, and down and down it goes.

And that's just what I can personally think of. There are a lot of writers for TV shows (SatAM, Sonic X, Sonic Prime) I'd have to familiarize myself with more names-wise, there's stuff I haven't touched in a long time (or never touched at all, like Fleetway UK Sonic). There's so much to consider.

And I don't feel like I personally have enough of a handle on all of that to really say one way or the other outside of "I think Ian Flynn did a good job on Sonic Frontiers but it's clear the constraints of video game development did not always play nice with his strengths as a writer."

What you're asking feels like a very tall order for this kind of blog. And this is coming from me, somebody who writes more than necessary on the reg.

Notes: Session #4

Summary: The party is attacked by a diseased deer and arrive in Waldstad.

The party travels with Adrian Tanzer, a half-elf in his late twenties, for the remainder of the afternoon and evening. The road is distinctly narrower than the main road from Nordhafen to Gre'gel, and continues to slope faintly up towards a wooded horizon. Fields of wheat and grass grow on either side, untouched by sea or salty air.

While they walk, Adrian and Fred chat, and Fred recommends Adrian try "the old man's tea", implying it's "the good stuff".

When they set up camp for the night, Adrian dons studded leather armour and equips himself with weapons (short bow and two short swords), and takes a swig of some kind of flask. He warns the party not to wander off. He's to keep watch all night, and they're welcome to keep watch with him should they wish to.

Fred takes first watch, alongside Adrian. This night, he's keenly aware of the sound of crickets, of the smell of grass and cooling soil, and of how far away from Nordhafen he is.

During the second watch, Zia hears something moving in the field beyond their camp. She alerts Adrian, and they go to the edge of the firelight when a hoarse, bone-chilling scream cuts through the air. Adrian shoots towards the sound. Out of the field and the darkness barrels what must once have been a deer: bloated, with predator-like teeth and lips that curl into a snarl, a second head growing from its neck, with visible wounds where the skin and fur has split to permit it. It lashes out, teeth narrowly missing Adrian and Zia.

The rest of the party wakes up—Fred and Viliam move to help Adrian and Zia, while Niko, Aurora, and Aaria keep back. Fred deals a significant amount of damage, but it's ultimately Viliam's spear that brings the creature down.

Adrian checks that no one has been injured, then goes to retrieve an oil cloth to wrap the carcass and bring it back to Waldstad, for Dr Schmidt to examine. While he does so, Aurora and Viliam examine it for themselves: Aurora carefully performs a partial autopsy, finding the joint in the neck where the second head seems to have sprouted from, and identifying the second one as only a week old, while the rest of the deer is a couple of years old. Using magic, Viliam detects an infection in the deer's blood and saliva. He warns everyone to clean up properly after handling the deer, and Aaria assists with prestidigitation.

Aurora and Viliam take samples of the blood, which Aurora keep. Adrian wrap the deer and bind it tightly, and hoist it onto the cart.

Meanwhile, Niko asks Aaria how she was able to terrify the creature during the fight. They discuss the different ways in which they cast spells, and Aaria offers to show Niko how she casts spells, to see if it's something he can learn.

After the encounter, Fred and Aurora have each their cup of Viliam's tea:

Fred dreams that he's in Nordhafen, in the temple of the Voice of Fundat, kneeling in front of a shrine with his mother. He's a decade younger, and his mother is lighting a candle for his father who recently died of illness and old age. Fred is perturbed, as he left both his parents alive and healthy in Nordhafen only a week ago. He hugs his mother and the dream shifts: he's drifting in mist, directionless. Walking forward, he finds a ledge of sparkling rock, and when he tosses himself over the edge, he flies. He rises up above the mist, to the palace on the mountain top, and sees the sunrise glitter in the stonework. He lands on the nearest landing platform. A door at the end opens and a guard welcomes him back, saying that breakfast is ready. When Fred walks through the door, he wakes up.

Aurora dreams that she's in the Rose Garden: a beautiful, lush garden of roses and pink quartz statues. She's standing on a round platform, together with an elf with curly red-golden hair and glittering jewellery. The elf shows her how to manipulate fire by creating a trickling waterfall of it, from the top of his palm, to his fingertips, then trickling down and fizzling out. He tells her that it's important to be able to control it. When she tries, she partially recreates it, which seems to please the elf.

Viliam and Adrian talk. Adrian explains that Waldstad has been aware of this creature for a few days, and that it has stalked the outskirts at night. He himself is a part-time monster hunter, which is why he's ferrying the party from the main road up to Waldstad, instead of the usual coachman. When he's not monster hunting, he works at the stables.

They don't know much about what has caused the deer to become like this, only that it spreads through bites. They've been lucky that no humanoid has been caught yet, but they've lost some livestock that they've had to put down. Dr Schmidt is currently researching the disease to try to find some antidote.

Viliam then asks if Adrian has seen a white-skinned red-haired tiefling come through Waldstad in the last week. Adrian hasn't noticed a tiefling, though there was a wealthy young woman who dropped her horse off at the stables just over a week ago, who talked about travelling with some companions. She said they were staying at the Perlen Tavern.

In the morning, Adrian stows his armour and weapons, and prepares Klara the horse. Fred tells Viliam he doesn't want any more of the tea that's been making him dream, and warns Viliam to be careful with it, as not everyone might be able to handle it.

An hour or so before noon, they arrive in Waldstad. Adrian points out the Perlen Tavern. Aurora takes note of Mugs'n'Bugs, one of the stores at the square, and sees a display of jars and medicinal herbs through the window.

The party goes directly to the Garrison, where Adrian and Fred unload the carcass and the crates Fred is delivering. Dr Schmidt, a scrawny elf with glasses and bony fingers, comes out to briefly inspect the carcass and sign Fred's papers. When Fred asks whether anyone would be able to approve leave time, Dr Schmidt suggests Fred talk to Sir Corrint, the mayor.

Meanwhile, Zia, Aaria, and Niko head off to the Perlen Tavern to ask about Wish, the tiefling. Viliam instructs his bearded dragon, Alvin, to follow the crates and find out what's inside them. Viliam then helps carry the carcass upstairs, to Dr Schmidt's research area. Various chemical tests are undergoing in different parts of the room. A separate table has been prepared, with oil cloth around it to avoid contaminating the floor. Dr Schmidt directs them to place the carcass there.

Viliam asks Dr Schmidt about the disease, but Dr Schmidt doesn't seem to know much more than Adrian has already shared. All other instances have been burned to avoid a further spread.

Aurora and Fred go to the Mayor's Cottage, a five-minute walk from the Garrison. They argue the whole way—about Fred using nicknames for everyone ("old man" for Viliam, "doctor lady" for Aurora, etc.), and about their dreams. They're so caught up in the argument that, when they reach the gate to the Mayor's Cottage, they don't notice the Sir Corrint there until, during a lull in the argument, he asks if he can help them. He approves Fred's leave, and tells Aurora they know Dr Myrk stayed at the Perlen Tavern for a night, then headed north through the Walden, but beyond that he seems to have vanished. If Waldstad can be of any further assistance to her, he places himself at her disposal.
