my favorite scene in LotR as a kid was when Sam started miserably freestyling in the tower of Cirith Ungol and the only reason he ever found Frodo was because he deliriously tried to join in

wip weds 24.6

its both wip weds and the day after i finished my @aroyallybigbangrwrb fic, so y'all get one last bit of it before it gets posted in the next month or two

thanks for the tags, your snippets were delightful to catch up on when i got home from work today @kiwiana-writes @cha-melodius @firenati0n @three-drink-amy @adreamareads

The gym has been decorated to the nines for the dance, streamers and gauzy fabric panels hanging from the rafters and draped over every available surface. There’s white picket archways set up around the perimeter of the room, providing selfie opportunities and more places to lay fabric and tack up fake greenery. Seriously, it’s like the dance committee raided a Joanne’s Fabrics without regard for anyone else’s sensibilities. Nora gives her ticket to the bored-out-of-his-mind Spanish teacher manning the check-in table and slips inside. Just like every other school dance, it’s both ridiculously crowded and hotter than hell—there’s already signs of frizz on almost every girl’s hairdo, despite the scent of hairspray lingering in the air. She can’t find June anywhere.

an open tag for anyone looking for an excuse and some specific ones under the cut!

WIP Wednesday? Not quite...

In lieu of WIP Wednesday (thank you for the tags @firenati0n @cha-melodius ), I bring you: a finished work for seasonal reading.

Nora leads the rest of the "Super Six" (June, Pez, Bea, Henry, and Alex) in a Passover seder, livestreamed for charity.

“Thank you to President Claremont for letting us commandeer a room in the White House for our project,” Nora announces briskly. “Of course, there was the official White House Seder that was led by Vice President Holleran, which was held on the first night of Passover. This is just an educational fundraiser.” “And we’re putting the fun back in fundraiser!” Alex grins, proud of himself, and the group groans in unison.

Tagging some others in for WIP Wednesday or Work "no longer in Progress" Wednesday or whatever you want to share! As always, open tag to share your works and tag me in return.

jack and the bilingual bullshit

jack won’t watch a british show without french subtitles because it’s too hard to understand their accents, but he also watches foreign movies with english subtitles even though the french option is right there??? jack????

unclear on how his own name is pronounced. his parents don’t seem very sure either. he is afraid to ask.

jack hates english punctuation so much. so much. why is it always cramping his style. 

shitty can tell when jack’s writing a paper in English because his texts get increasingly capital-F French

shitty replies with “hello jack       .   when are we going to annie   ‘  s   . lardo says     << i   ‘ m hungry >>    .”

The Autocorrect Struggle

autocorrect is also cramping his style

marty texts to ask about the game schedule the next day and jack, being half asleep, forgets to change his language settings and replies “Devonshire entire la a 17 heiress pour lo dinner”

marty always replies to these texts with “thanks, jacques, that was helpful”

he is a jerk.

jack’s slowly teaching his english autocorrect to speak french; shitty claims that if you yell “hey siri - FUCK NO” when it corrects to the wrong word it’ll learn faster

autocorrect knows to leave tabarnak alone, because jack is a great teacher.

speaking of siri - why does she not understand anything jack says ever, any of the time. jack and siri Are Not Friends. they are not bros and jack does not like her.

absolutely refuses to watch disney movies in english. that is not the language of disney. he’s seen a whole ten minutes of the english version of the lion king; all of the voices were Wrong

he thinks bilingual puns are so funny!!!! he only gets say them every once in a while but they’re hilarious!!!!!!!

jack once called ransom, with an actual honest to god phone call, just to tell him a great pun that bitty didn’t react to strongly enough

(a key part of rans’ impression of jack is the phrase “i just told bitty this one but he didn’t laugh”)

he takes german for his language credit freshman year (shitty: HAVE YOU NOT DONE ENOUGH) and fails a test on possessives because he never learned how to use apostrophes in english and he can’t figure out how to translate plural possessives. he may be the first person to fail a german test because his english isn’t good enough.

just?? random gaps everywhere in his english knowledge, honestly. he can write a paper but he doesn’t know what an adverb is. he missed two spelling tests in high school because of a concussion and he still just lets spellcheck tell him how to write “occurred”

jack knows history vocabulary but he learned a lot of it out of books and he doesn’t actually know how to pronounce any of it in english

he does presentations with his Absolute Most French Accent just so everyone is really clear that he doesn’t know what he’s doing

has no idea about science words and won’t discuss it with anyone in english, no thank you

someone claims that jack once implied that petroleum comes from exploding fish bones; every time they try to ask jack about it he dodges the question and then runs away.

Jack’s List

I recently stumbled over this post and it got me thinking about Jack’s list of reasons not to like Bitty his freshman year:

Can’t take a check

Is too good of a player to not be able to take a check

Spins too much

Skates faster than me

Is always baking

Cleaned kitchen and found my favorite mug and washed it

Uses food to endear himself to team

Doesn’t need to endear himself to the team - everyone naturally likes him

Floppy hair

Doesn’t know who my dad is

Smells like a doughnut

Doesn’t eat enough protein

Pleasingly short

Bambi eyes

Always at the Haus, baking

Won’t sit on green couch unless he’s drunk - instead hovers one butt cheek on the arm of couch

Made my favorite cookies on my long day and Holster ate them all

Running shorts are too short

Can recite mom’s movie filmography

Laughter sounds like bells

Too small - he could probably fit in equipment bag

When he had to borrow my shirt, it was too big and now it smells like pie

Made me like pie - but only good pie, Cafeteria pie is terrible

Says Hey Y’all and now half of the team says it

Smells like a cinnamon roll - Shitty agreed.

The main reason NHL goalies have face cages on their masks is to keep them healthy; otherwise their teammates would open mouth kiss them with tongue after every win, and the spread of germs would get out of control.
