Sunday Snippet

I’ve recently been tagged by @disgruntledkittenface, @princelyharry, and @littleroverlouis to share a snippet of my WIP. I’ve been working hard on Chapter Six of Arise, Fair Sun this weekend, so I thought I would share. THINGS ARE GETTING TENSE. 

“We open in six days,” Liam continues, the stress in his voice palpable. “Six days, Harry! You’ve gotta dig deeper. You’ve got to give this everything you have. It’s about more than the steps, can’t you see that? You’ve got to–”

“For fuck’s sake, Liam, that’s enough!” 

Rosie’s piano accompaniment stops at Louis’ sudden outburst, her eyes going wide behind her thick glasses. The room falls completely silent, save for the sounds of Harry’s ragged breaths, and it feels like the silence drags on for hours as the entire company watches in interest as Louis and Liam stare each other down. 

Dancers just don’t talk back to the directors like that. Not in this company. 

“What did you say?” Liam finally asks, his voice chillingly even. 

“I said,” Louis says, his chest heaving as he catches his breath, “that’s enough.” 

“Do you have a problem with my direction, Louis?” Liam asks pointedly, crossing his arms over his chest. 

“Whatever happened to giving notes at the end of the run through?” Louis challenges, his hands on his hips. 

“I’ll give a note whenever I see fit,” Liam fires back. “That’s my job.” 

“Well, I can’t do my job with you fucking shouting at us all the time,” Louis insists. “It’s distracting!” 

Harry looks down at the floor, his cheeks burning with embarrassment and tears stinging his eyes. He blinks them away furiously, subtly wiping under his eyes as he takes several deep breaths, exhaling slowly and trying to rein his emotions back in. He’s never broken down crying in the middle of rehearsal, not once over the course of his entire career, and he certainly doesn’t plan on starting now. 

“You’re already distracted, Louis,” Liam counters. “You have been all week. You’re just going through the motions up there.” 

“Jesus Christ, Liam, it’s a rehearsal,” Louis says with an audible eyeroll. “Our last rehearsal of the week. We’ll turn it on for the performances, you know we will.” 

“If you can’t turn it on in rehearsal, how am I supposed to know if you can do it in performances?” 

“We are working our asses off up here!” Louis practically shouts. “We’re never not working our asses off up here. I’d like to see anyone else in this room even attempt what Harry’s doing, what he’s been doing for the last five weeks. Give him a fucking break!” 

Harry looks up at that, his eyes widening. Louis isn’t looking at him though, his attention entirely fixed on Liam. 

“Well if you don’t like the way I’m running my rehearsal, Louis, you’re free to leave,” Liam shrugs, the serious expression on his face belying the casualness of the gesture. “I’ll just put Ethan in, he could use some time with Harry.” 

Harry glances over to where Ethan, Louis’ understudy, is sitting in the corner, suddenly sitting up much taller in his seat. He’s a first year soloist, and he’s a very good dancer with the potential to be a great one in a couple of years, but he’s not Louis. 

And Harry doesn’t want to dance with anyone other than Louis. 

“Or maybe I’ll put Ethan and Sergei in,” Liam proposes, gesturing to Harry’s understudy. “They’re doing a couple of matinees after all, maybe we should just focus on getting them ready for performances instead. What do you think, Louis?” 

“Do whatever you want, Liam, I don’t give a fuck,” Louis says witheringly, throwing his hands up in the air as he starts towards the door. “I’m out–”

“Louis, stop.” 

The words are out of Harry’s mouth the instant he thinks them, his brain to mouth filter completely vanishing. Louis whirls around and looks at him, really looks at him, for what feels like the first time all week. The expression on his face is inscrutable as Harry looks back at him imploringly, biting his bottom lip. 

“Please,” Harry whispers, his voice raw with all the emotion he’s desperately trying to keep at bay. “Don’t go.” 

Tagging you all back plus @indiaalphawhiskey @myfineline @onesweetworld18 @kingsofeverything @allwaswell16 @daggerandrose @wabadabadaba @absoloutenonsense @jacaranda-bloom @infinitelymint @greenfeelings @uhoh-but-yeah-alright and @brightgolden

after literal years i finally got around to downloading a pdf of the wipers times, an unsancitioned satitical british trench magazine circulated among the troops in france from 1916-1918 after the fortuitous discovery of a printing press. i have approximately five million other things i need to read so idk when i'll be able to devote much time to it, and i gotta pick up a proper copy bc it's missing at least salient no 4 vol 2. that said? i'm genuinely laughing at what i've skimmed so far

#this is like THE page everyone likes it seems but it's SO good #also the flammenwerfer one i found on wikipedia is gold. that's the only reason i know no 4 vol 2 is missing from the pdf after skimming #and 'DEAD COW FARM' CINEMA. is great #the wipers times is SO fascinating to me as a glimpse of life into the trenches without any signifigant censorship of the bitterness that's #couched in satire. it's hilarious satire but there's still bitterness there sometimes! and gallows humor! this was adored by the men on the #front but it's amazing it happened at all. SO glad it did. it's a marvel #len speaks #ww1 #world war 1 #world war one #the great war #1917 #<- figured you guys might find this interesting considering it would be circulating during canon #history

So the scepter here is what makes you Primus, who is in charge of all of the magic world basically... and is also the key to opening the coffer to the rest of the Dread magic that Jayce has been trying to get this entire time. He thought it was something he could start "a new Golden Age of Magic" with, but eventually realized it would only do more harm than good and now is out of plans as he's being torn apart from the Dread.

In the AU towards the end of the story, he and Lucy got the scepter together but he's the one that technically got it, even tho he gave it to Lucy so she could become Primus and avoid further temptation.

So during Lucy's coronation, the scepter ends up shooting across the room into his hands in the audience bc he's the actual owner. This isn't just his nerves about becoming Primus instead and is FAR, far worst unfortunately... Apocalyptically bad even! 8')

Was everything he had wanted before and now it's a literal nightmare.

(Also "Everything You Ever" from Dr. Horrible's Sing-ALong Blog is very fitting for this part whoops.)

#Daniel Spellbound #Jayce Chinda #Lucy Santana #monster transformation #Bleeding Magic AU #the scepter thing is actually a concept from the original but I changed the design of it and how it all works lol #they didn't have a coronation in the show but I'm having one lol #so I can fuck everything up I guess lol #feel bad bc everyone is dressed so nice and then the climax of the story happens lmao #at this point this really could be an original but I'm having too much fun playing with the dolls as is for now so whatever #demon #my art #you know it's bad when the guy who never cries in front of anyone starts openly sobbing in front of a crowd

"a dude in Texas legally changed his name to "Literally Anyone Else" and he's attempting to run for President against Biden & Trump" [source]

okay, but putting aside the comedic aspect of this, it is concerning the amount of people who are prompted to vote for candidates just because it's funny. I'm not the biggest fan of how his policy about the boarder sounds [Site], but I do implore anyone who is able to vote in the 2024 US election to please research other candidates.

The media is only going to continue pushing the idea it's inevitably going to be Trump vs Biden 2.0 and we have no other options, that we have to vote for Biden again because of Project 2025. Is that whole thing terrifying?

Yeah, fucking absolutely.

But voting for Biden will not solidify our safety from that. Biden is exactly like the rest of them. He always has been. You can't make the lesser of two evils argument when they're both just plain evil.

You cannot say that Biden is even mildly a better choice than Trump when he is currently directly involved in a genocide. That is not some little fucking thing. That in and of itself disqualifies him as a lesser evil. Biden is just as bad as him and he will not save us because he doesn't fucking care.

Cornel West [Site] is an Independent candidate running for President in the 2024 Election. [Policies]

Claudia De la Cruz and Karina Garcia [Site] are running for President and Vice-President as the candidates of the Party for Socialism and Liberation in the 2024 Election. [Policies]

There are options.

There are people trying to change the corrupt foundation our system is built on, but we have to help amplify them because the mainstream media will not.

#have you looked at what's happening in New York & the subways #There's so many reported shootings and deaths and it just seems to be getting worse. #I just looked up subway shooting ny because I wanted to check before saying something #There's reports from like 3 hours ago about someone getting pushed in front of one of the moving subways & there's so many others #or how about the like thousands of police officers that they've got stationed at subways in ny literally doing fuck all #or how everyone's going through a housing crisis and cant afford rent and cant get medical care because it can cost #$4000 to get a fucking ambulance and that's cheap. That's a ride to the hospital less than 20 minutes away probably. #or the rise in hate crimes and bigotry and all the shit they're now trying to censor with the kosa bill #or how terrifying places like Florida have became for anyone thats not seen as an equel by people who dont view most others as equels. #or how they're pouring billions into wars while we're in the midsts of a homeless crisis #suicide rates are at record levels in the us and it's only going to get worse. theyre pulling telehealth which will take away #life saving medical care for people who dont have the ability to go in person. people's ability to get therapy and meds being taken away #Is going to kill people. or how the Biden administration has fucked up their Covid response so goddamn badly #people are referring to the pandemic in past tense and have lost understanding for others who they'd have understood before #they've lied and they've concealed and its killing millions of people and disabling even more. but they will not take accountability. #long covid is ruining people's lives and they've successfully led the narrative that its not real or not that serious. #they will sit there and they will lie. they will say they've protected women's rights and that its a top priority. #they'll say that healthcare is a top priority but have suggested that they'd veto a healthcare for all bill because of its price tag #but will spend billions and billions and billions on a genocide that the majority is against. the system isn't going to begin collapsing #it already is. #its crumbled and we must demolish the corrupt remains and rebuild a better government that gives a shit about people #ALL people. #they use basic human rights as bargaining chips. #the Democrats and Republicans on a Venn diagram is a circle. wake up.

[cephalog0d]

Yeah I'm not done yet.

The thing I keep coming back to is that as much as I'm down to nit-pick things like how characters are written and plot details (and boy are there a whole infestation of nits to pick), what it boils down to is that the basic premise here shouldn't even be happening.

I get they're doing a Thing with Bruce and the after effects of Failsafe and Zur and Insomnia so sure I guess it makes sense to have him acting totally unreasonably. I'm not saying it's a plotline I'm thrilled with, but whatever. This is about everyone else.

You have half a dozen people routinely patrolling in Gotham, who've been doing it for years, who know the city and how it works, who have at least two people who are particularly inclined towards collecting and parsing data for patterns for crime fighting purposes, and none of you noticed anything amiss until Selina called and was like "Hey did you notice my neat new plan I've been doing?"

To that point, in a room full of literal canonical geniuses not a single person has thought to ask any of a dozen very practical questions that occurred to me, a non-genius reader, roughly 10 seconds after reading what The Plan was. Things like, oh, I don't know

How is this going to be a sustainable long-term effort?

For example, what happens when Gotham's wealthiest realize what you're doing and dramatically beef up their security (with tech or with actual people), making it much harder and more dangerous?

Like iirc you, Selina, have definitely had some real dicey situations as a result of your profession, and you're a lot more experienced than these people.

(Hey speaking of which isn't there a whole secret society of Gotham's wealthiest and most powerful who have access to nearly unkillable assassins? Who keeps coming back even though they keep being taken down? You think any of these people might belong to that?)

What happens when the rich folks get pissed and sic the heavily militarized GCPD on you? Don't act like they won't, I'm sure someone's squirreled away stuff from that whole Fear State fiasco.

For that matter, what happens when the costumed villainry figure out who swiped all their henchpeople and decide to object to it, presumably violently?

How many people are we talking here anyway that you're training? How many ultra-wealthy people live in Gotham? How many easily stealable things do they have sitting around to take? (As opposed to, like, other non-liquid fake assets like stocks)

How are you fencing all this anyway? Isn't that a great way to get caught? Or is everyone just stealing cash? (Or did nobody think about the part between "got the valuable thing" and "have usable money from it"?)

How on god's green earth did you ever assume this was going to end in anything other than violence?

Like of course one of your guys got killed. It doesn't matter that you told them no violence, even if they fully buy into that it only takes one panicked reaction when someone's home who shouldn't be, on either side, and there you go.

Look I get what they're trying to do. It's supposed to be a big moral quandary about whether it's right to allow some crime if it decreases other crime, the struggle between Batman being unreasonably violent and unwilling to listen and this new plan of Selina's. First of all that's a weird debate to have when everyone having it is technically a criminal to some degree. And second of all, it doesn't matter, this isn't about the morality, this is about how this plan is fucking dumb and was destined to fall apart even if Batman was still asleep and the fact that any of you are buying it just means there's a gas leak in Gotham somewhere.

#maybe i'm totally wrong and there's some secret behind-the-scene plot happening and the plan as presented is just a front #which would not excuse the way all the kids are reacting but would at least get selina off the hook #maybe i'll eat my words later whe it turns out there was some grand plan that totally ties everything together #but right now i'm fucking annoyed at how LITERALLY EVERYONE is being handled in this and i needed to vent #for the record no i'm not at all morally opposed to the ultra-wealthy getting their shit stolen i think that part is fine #i just don't think you should base a sizeable chunk of the city's long-term economic survival on having that as an income #gotham war #comics talk

[ID: a scribbly four panel digital comic of characters from the owl house. The first panel shows Camilla, Luz, and Raine. Camilla stands holding her bat, looking at Raine as they speak to her. Luz watches in the background. The second panel shows Raine posing in front of Eda, Lilith, Darius, Alador, Steve and Hooty. In the first panel Raine says "miss Noceda, I speak for all of us when I say-" and finishes their dialogue in the next panel with "we're proud to welcome to the polycule!".

The third panel is a reaction shot of all the adults reacting to what Raine just said, and the fourth shows Raine blushing and waving their hands, saying "I MEANT REBELLION-", while Camilla blushes and Luz looks dismayed. End ID]

Silly comic idea I had to get out. Sorry for the potential quality, I'd already gotten too far into drawing when I realized the canvas might be a teeny bit too small

#the owl house #toh #raine whispers #camilla noceda #they're the two prominent characters here and everyone else is just a bg scribble so i won't tag everyone else hdbdjfj #anyway would you believe this has been floating in my brain for. months now?? literally since ttt aired and camilla joined the kids #i decided to not do anything for the apocalypse designs of the hagsquad other than ''cool capes'' bc it's just gonna get debunked in- #-a couple or so weeks when promotion for the ep starts so yknow #anyway. camilla is very flattered but she's still not over manny so while it's not a hard no to the witch polycule #it's not a yes #not pictured is the absolute typo in the groupchat moment that happens after this w/ the hagsquad #darius is GETTING THEIR ASS. YOU SAID THAT!! TO HER FACE!!! #eda wants to join in on the bullying but she's too worried abt making a good impression in front of camilla to joke abt it lmao

[neurotypical-sonic]

it is. important to me that when theyre younger sonic is an absolute little shit with no respect for authority but tails is very shy and nervous and a people pleaser. but when they're older sonic is still the same but less in your face about it (unless he is being in your face about it. he's just learnt to be more covert about it just so he can get away with more) but tails is a little shit and will make his opinions known. if he doesn't like you he will let you know. if he is being made to do something he doesnt want to do, by god will you hear about it.

#almost posted this to my main #to be clear: sonic does not respect authority any more than when he was a kid #he has just learnt to be more manipulative #like. 'why yes insanely rich person politician who is polluting the environment! i will gladly come to your party and make you look good- #-in front of everyone! let me have unrestricted access to your house tehe nothing bad will happen prommy!!' #tails just calls you a bitch of he thinks your a bitch #///// this has been sitting in my drafts for a while i cant get the words right :( #egg.txt #sonicposting #sonic #tails #sonic&tails
