Neil: David has read the first 3 scripts of series 3, plus the very last scene.

David, talking about how s3 is going to be the last one:

[noonewilleverknowistealkneecaps]

It doesn’t refer to any particular part of the series, it’s just that Harry Truman frequently looks like a nervous wreck to me

[ooooo-mcyt]

I've talked about this before with Desert Duo but I feel like they aren't the only ones who have their characters and dynamics warped a ton for angst.

I feel like people keep trying to warp every relationship into like two types of angsty trope and just, like, stretching out the characters involved until they fit the trope but may not fit their actual personalities or dynamic.

You can make the Life Series, or even Hermitcraft angsty. I like some forms of Life Series or Hermitcraft angst. I've seen it done well. But if you take away all of the joy and whimsy and banter and love, what do you have left of the Life Series or Hermitcraft in your angst?

Again, my main experience with this is Desert Duo since I'm most insane about them, primarily through seeing fans make Grian in specific (sometimes both of them) a fucked up toxic abusive mess that means a lot of Desert Duo content kinda loses the Grian and Scar after a while and becomes Generic Codependent Couple #9726.

But I've seen this done to other characters too where they're dumbed down and made less competent, turned into hyper toxic caricatures of themselves, or stripped of personality completely to fit into another pairings angst scene. And I just. Don't like it.

I'm not even sure if it's workable but I had the concept for a Pacific Rim AU? or more like a universe fusion? like Pacific Rim takes place in the 2020s if you used the very-shaky timeline of BMC and set it in like 2010 then when the first Jaeger attack happens in 2013 it could work fine

I don't think it's too radical a jump to imagine the same universe with tech to create the SQUIP also had the tech to create drifting, like it seems pretty related

anyway this was mostly prompted by re-reading my own story to try to reactivate the writer juices and remembered I'd put a joke about Michael and Jeremy being drift-compatible in the Cardigan fic and then my brain was like ".....but what if they WERE??"

a suggestion:

i think we're done with symbols with feathers.

there's not really a need for a canary anymore, see. there's no need for a warning. the point of a canary was never that it dies; the point was always that it told you that you were about to. but there's no need for that anymore, let alone to pass it around like some kind of curse. these days, it's not a surprise when people start dropping.

someone's always got to die first.

it's not even me anymore.

so we're done with that symbol, okay? throw it out. we're done. there's no need anymore. maybe it's time to acknowledge it's never been some toxin from below, anyway, inescapable. there's never been some ineffable outside force, laying curses. it's always just been--

well it's always just been me, hasn't it? blood in my teeth like the rest of you. i'm not special. there's never been some reason. you just liked killing me.

you just like killing. i get it now.

feel guilty for that.

obsessed with the cheek squish that got lost in the final animation

[chironeis]

the thing is that martin thinks it took "two years of crisis and trauma" just to make him and jon compatible and the reason jon doesn't know how to rebut that wildly incorrect fact is because he's barely aware that he had a stick so far up his ass in season one that it grew roots in his brain before he stubbornly and meticulously and with gritted teeth plucked them all out. jon could've plucked those roots out before all the trauma and crises if he simply chose to. and he would. in so many universes. because martin (and friendship and love and connection) is worth it. mic drop

conservatives really wanna act like the “woke left” is winning the culture war or whatever when people are out here making basil and dorian brothers and casting white men to play heathcliff in 2024
