Gayest baseball team known to man !!!

THEY PUT BASHIR AND BASEBALL TOGETHER, I CAN DIE IN PEACE. I don't even care for baseball in real life, but give me a movie or something that revolves around baseball and I go insane. So you can tell how I feel about this DS9 episode, it's one of my favourites just for that reason :(

#I FUCKING LOVE BASEBALL (fictional) #sorry i am just thinking too much about this episode today. it sparks so much joy #i wish there was more sid and baseball #that is all i care about #also julian's nr being 22 is so funny to me bc i associate people with numbers and there's another julian that is 22 to me #maybe bashir is kinda 22 as well... but he's also very much like 27 #ds9 #deep space 9 #deep space nine #star trek #star trek ds9 #star trek deep space 9 #star trek deep space nine #st ds9 #take me out to the holosuite #julian bashir #julian bashir ds9 #so many characters to tag. should i really... #feeling favouritism today sorry #the star of the blog is bashir #i do feel bad about only half of nog in the first screenshot tho 😭 but they just framed it like that #my gifs yeehaw #my screenshots yeehaw #JULIAN IS SERVING C U N T BTW WHAT IS THAT ALL ABOUT FUCK IT UP TWINK

Me having just finished the fifth book in a series: Oh boy that was some heavy reading I better pick up a fic just for a change

Me picking up a 300k+ word count fic: Perfect

#in my defense #I didnt check the word count before starting #and I am in chapter 9 of 27 so obviously I can’t stop now

Currently getting the oil change. They said it will get a while. They’re always shorthand but I do need it changed. Then I’ll head to Iowa City.

Last night they did the test on David, they didn’t find any aneurysms thankfully, they did see that it had bled but not anymore. He’ll still stay the 7 days and at the end they’ll do the same test.

Andrew and family left this morning. I’ll miss the little man, he said that he wanted to stay at grandmama’s house. Michael said that he can stay as long as he has to. I’m so glad cause it was going to be difficult with the dogs.

odnlb writing process/workshop

this is mainly for my own reference. however, if this post ends up helping you with yours, then even better! 😊

most of you know, i wrote this fic as a practice for using save the cat (aka snyder) structure, and so now that it's complete i have the outline to come back to in a way that i understand and can use in future wips! did i deviate from this structure? yes. a lot. did i still follow all the beats though? i think so! check out how i formatted my outline!

my starting point: marinette 🐞

want: revenge against monarque

need: replace hate with love

this gave me a very clear picture of the emotional journey she would undergo. once i figured out her emotional need and decided what she would do to fulfill that need, i was able to pretty much plot out the entire fic. we needed a hero (in her case, an anti-hero) we could follow through an entire 45 chapter fic, and odnlb marinette gave us a reason to care about her and root for her right off the bat!

here's what save the cat's 15-beat structure looks like at a glance:

(isn't it just beautiful? 😍)

for odnlb, i combined this structure with the 3-act, 9-block, 27-chapter method:

lol so i did not exactly stick to this, as was my plan (my huge cast of characters wanted more from me.) however, i did stick with the proper beats...it just ended up expanding into 5 acts.

this is how my outline ended up looking (orange = save the cat, purple = 3 act 9 block 27 chapters):

act 1 - ladybug meets the villains

block 1

opening image - marinette leaves a rose at chat noir's statue. her eyes are dead (like him)

introductions/setup - 6 years later, marinette works for chloe. adrien still models for gabriel & is estranged from her and his old friends

theme stated - alya says, "you're getting better." (marinette has not been focused on hatred, but her personal growth)

catalyst/ inciting incident - bunnyx steals the rabbit miraculous & draws out the villain team

debate/ immediate reaction / fallout - villain team decides to abandon plan to use rabbit miraculous & get ladybug's miraculous instead. marinette decides to get cat walker's miraculous & kill monarque with it.

block 2

actions - ladybug interrogates adrien agreste bc he is close to lila, chloe, and felix (primary suspects). he doesn't give her any information, but reassures her he is on her side.

consequences - volpina attacks ladybug, villain team overpower her

block 3

pressure - ladybug is outnumbered, cannot stand against all the holders & their power-ups. villain side: ladybug is onto them. ladybug needs an ally & turns to kagami (also close to felix), but kagami turns ladybug down (but why?).

pinch/plot twist - cat walker contacts ladybug: tells her monarque is going to resume akuma attacks unless lb gives her miraculous

break into act 2 - monarque attempts to akumatize ladybug, but cat walker saves her. realizes villains' motivations are split.

act 2 - rise of monarque

block 4

new world - luka and zoe come to town. adrien is in trouble but felix stands by him. su han abandons marinette; he cannot teach her bc she has too much hatred.

fun and games/ b story/ies - felix and adrien switch so adrien can meet his friends for drinks. chloe sneaks snake miraculous back to luka. felix and lila threaten each other. felix likes kagami.

bad guys close in - monarque akumatizes nino to punish adrien. marinette finds out cat walker is a sentimonster

juxtaposition/ old vs new - luka/aspik shows up & joins marinette's side (she's not alone anymore). adrien realizes he has to be alone bc of what happened to nino. kagami confronts felix and gets the dragon miraculous (war begins)

act 3 - adrien identity reveal

block 5

build-up - luka and marinette plot to find the sentimonster. luka confronts adrien indirectly, suspects monarque is gabriel. marinette sleuths on felix (suspected peacock holder) only to discover adrien is a sentimonster/cat walker. kagami finds ladybug & offers to spy on felix & the villain team for her. monarque akumatizes zoe to punish chloe. ryuko gets her felix's amok in the fight, but gets it back when ladybug uses it against him. to stop ladybug harming argos & ryuko, luka reveals chat noir is still alive.

midpoint - montparnasse scene: ladybug confronts cat walker, he admits the truth. stand off with monarque until aspik & mellona rescue ladybug.

reversal - marinette is no longer hate driven, but driven by love to save adrien

act 4 - angrybug reversal

block 6

reaction - due to big emotional distress, ladybug goes into the avatar state (foreshadowing 👀). luka and chloe calm her down. feligami get together. adrien pleads to his father not to harm ladybug.

action/trials (raise the stakes) - the more adrien breaks his amok, the more he breaks his miraculous. marinette is set up to "spy" on adrien for the villain team. villain team plot to corner ladybug at dj wifi wedding.

dedication - adrinette kiss scene. adrien promsies himself he will harm himself before he lets harm come to ladybug. marinette promises no more harm will come to him.

block 7

calm before the storm - lila flashback: she killed nathalie and has been akumatized/transformed for 6 years. balcony scene: marinette tries to keep adrien close to no avail.

pinch/plot twist - volpina and monarque attack chloe, luka, and zoe. vesperia and carapace get their miraculous back. ladybug tries to heal cat walker & free him with her power, but his miraculous is too broken. she can only save him by getting his amok.

everything goes wrong/ dark night of the soul/ all is lost - lila & felix flashback: lila is monarque reveal. ladybug confronts gabriel agreste & tries to kill him, but can't (bc she is no longer full of hate). realizes monarque is lila. monarque takes felix, but kagami takes the other miraculous back to ladybug.

act 5 - fall of monarque

block 8 - finale

power within - team assemble. chloe uses mouse miraculous to activate other holders. lila finds marinette's identity.

action - monarque attacks. luka sacrifices himself to get the upper hand. alya gets the fox miraculous off lila, all her illusions drop. lila akumatizes timetagger, bunnyx shows up to get him. team fights argos and his sentimonster, red moon, to the death. chloe incapacitates argos.

converge - monarque takes the senti-twins and runs. remainder of the team follow her to agreste mansion.

block 9

final confrontation/final battle - monarque tries to make felix fix her miraculous. ladybug and team show up. monarque morphs into monster and attacks. gabriel sacrifices himself to save lb, but monarque still gets the upper hand. chat noir cataclysms monarque with a broken miraculous.

climax - the broken cataclysm destroys the world, but carapace's shield protects remainder of team. with adrien gone, felix is free and emilie is awake. ladybug goes toe-to-toe with broken miraculous final form chat noir, but her power is too weak compared to his untethered destruction. then felix gives her the peacock miraculous and she uses it to create a new bond for adrien, tethering him to life with her love.

resolution/denouement - all of paris knows chat noir is alive! big parade for heroes. ladybug and chat noir do a william and kate kiss. alya shoos off su han. felix gives gabriel to chloe and decides to work for tsurugi tech so he can stay with kagami. zoe and luka decide to go back home for a bit then come to stay too. emilie wants to be close to felix and adrien, but she is def not the priority for them atm. marinette takes the butterfly miraculous back from emilie. adrinette go off on a honeymoon vacation. adrien practices his proposal on a beach.

final image - adrien and marinette playing in the water on a beach on la reunion. “camera” pans away from their silhouettes running around on the sand, back to their stuff on the beach. shows a ring box in adrien’s bag with plagg & tikki chilling.

if this helped you out, i'm so glad! it definitely helped me see how to organize a story. i think if i ever do a fic like odnlb again, i will definitely do this for it.

#i finally finished answering all my comments lol #and i thought i'd do this now while the story is still fresh in my memory! #hopefully this will be helpful to other people as well as me #i just know i would have liked a map-out of a story i knew very well with all the proper beats #but now that i know i CAN do this kind of story with this kind of structure then i know i can do it again #also i am not claiming to be a story structure expert by any means #i am just sharing how i did it and how i see it #i could be totally off about some of these! #constructive criticism is always welcome <33 #also i am not saying this is the only way to tell a story #save the cat is definitely not the end all be all of narrative formulas #many stories are told according to different structures! and told well! #this is just the one i wanted more practice with #and one i thought fitting for odnlb since it was such a huge story #odnlb #one does not love breathing #snyder structure #save the cat #3 act 9 block 27 chapter method #writing #story structure #5 acts #might update this as we go forward

For a guy who never takes off his gloves, Varian sure does lose them a lot. It’s not really the gloves Hugo notices though—it’s the scars underneath them. Or: 5 times Hugo tries to take off Varian's gloves + 1 time he doesn't have to.

ordered a really big water bottle that comes with like a special case that has a strap on it so i can go for my walks without having to either carry my water bottle in my hands (heavy and often times annoying because i only have one free hand to do stuff with) or bring my backpack with me (often times overheats me when it's warm out and like if i'm just going for a walk around my grandma's neighbourhood or the area around my house, it's overkill because i don't need an entire backpack when most of my things fit in my fanny pack) and i am very excited about it......

#the water bottle can hold like 2 litres of water..... #it's so funny like 9 years ago when i was in residential treatment the dietitian was always getting on my case #about never drinking enough water like i used to be super dehydrated all the time and often times would get nauseous and have bad headaches #and get really bad muscle cramps #and now i'm like I HAVE TO BRING A BIG WATER BOTTLE WHEREVER I GO!!!! I NEED TO HAVE MY WATER!!!!! #and i will not leave my house without a big water bottle #but also when i was younger i like didn't take my health seriously and now i like care a lot about my health #like i eat a lot of fruit as a snack and i try to exercise every day if the weather is ok like it's not pissing rain or snowing #and i try to stay hydrated cause when i was younger i used to feel sick a lot cause of dehydration and like the other stuff i mention #idk sorry i'm rambling i am just like so excited about my new water bottle like the case is really cute and comes with little charms!! #it's like a spooky sort of pattern like it's feminine but idc i'm secure enough in my masculinity to have a purple water bottle #with like a cute spooky case #i'm thinking of getting my sister one for christmas if i like it! #we'll see.... #anyways this is like what being 27 is like for me i'm excited about getting a big water bottle and carrying case and i sit outside and read

I really need to be able to teleport so I never miss class again

And to see my friends everyday

#‘class starts at 10:30 so i have to leave at 10 which means i should get up by 9 to give my body the chance to wake up’ #it is 10:27 and i am still sitting in my bed #*bursts into tears* #this has been a problem for me since senior year #once i didn’t have my siblings around anymore so that we’re all getting up at the same time #i just can’t get my brain to focus and prioritize #idk how to fix it by myself but there’s no one here to help me

Dry crispy morning. There were a couple of icy patches but for the most part not bad.

I’m still tired, and so many people want to talk and I don’t want to talk 😂 but it’s okay.

#when i complain about losing all of my 20s to school i'm not complaining about losing my 'best years' or 'party years' or whatever #i'm complaining about how with each passing year i am slowly losing more abilities and having more pain and health issues #my guess is that chronic stress has caused a good deal of them #so by the time i graduate i'm going to be 27 (no money no prospects lol) with no driver's license no savings no plans no apartment - #- and constant pain. #all for a BA in gender studies #so i'm feeling a liiiiittle fucking down. #i've liked being a student. it's the only thing i know how to do. but now i am ready to do Other Things With My Life please. #at least with a 9-5 you have your weekends free AND you're making money #me i have to cram hours and hours of work in on the weekends while everyone is home and making noise bc i don't have time during the week - #- because of my 3-4 hour collective commute / class / MORE work / pain from being out all day #i kind of hate hearing my irl friends complain about their jobs to be honest
