Honestly feel the Carnivores series could make an okay movie adaptation

Game premise for those unfamiliar: you have paid for privilege hunt alien equivalents of prehistoric Earth Fauna on a plant run by a hunting safari company, who bought the planet after failed colonization attempts. They tried building some facilities on the surface but at this point… from what if can tell it’s mostly just a spaceship comes down to drop off and pick up customers and what they kill or tranquillize. So most facilities are probably orbital or in areas lacking megafauna.

Imagine a scene where skinning a dead wooly mammoth and realizing underneath that hair it really does not look much like an elephant

There are also mysterious arcaheology with ghostly voices, and strange yeti that could be reinterpreted as the classic dumb speculative idea of “dinosauroid” but covered in insulator feathers.

Th T-Rex analogues are also possibly smarter than they seem , since unlike other predators they don’t seem food motivated since they don’t eat the player but beat them to death ,and never get bored or tired to stop chasing you. And they send out calls so more T-Rex’s will join the chase. One broke through a wall of a fort which is part of why attempts at building facilities on the planet stopped.

There was a dropped game idea of poachers: those who didn’t fill out the paperwork and land without permission and without regard for the rules.This gives a perfect human antagonist.

You could easily combine all the that into a plot of the tyrannosaurs as guardians of the planet tied to the strange extinct civilization and a poacher antagonist meeting his end when the plots intersect.

Can maybe incorporate the ice age inspired animals by having the poacher sabotage the ship and cause a crash landing detour, or just give them cameos in trophy rooms or in-universe advertisements

I’m imagining some futuristic satire possible like saying “it’s a good thing companies are more long term in interest since the stock market was abolished, or else the dinosaurs would be extinct again”

Might want to not do references to Stonehenge like in the second game, at this point connecting it to aliens would be silly… but if you make it only superficially like stone henge an make the like solid blocks rather than stacked could fit the weird atmosphere of it being a not-right mirror world, or imply Dinohunt Corp company faked it perhaps trying to further cash in in similarities between Earth and this planets archaeology and provide a landmark for hunters. The fact they don’t have the mysterious voices and are in the area of an abandoned settlement by Dinohunt Corp could add credence.

A fake archaeological site is also in spirit of the community which still has lots of hoaxes to this day with similar energy to “finding Mew under a truck”.

Carnivorous plants! Not quite as ferocious as you may have seen them depicted in fiction, but still very cool. There are numerous different species of carnivorous plants, and several different mechanisms for trapping and consuming prey. Many are at risk (such as the green pitcher plant depicted on the left and the Venus flytrap on the right, considered critically endangered and vulnerable by the IUCN respectively) due to threats including habitat loss, poaching, invasive species, and pollution.

Today I learned the answer to a question I never asked: what does a Tribble in the mirror universe look like? And well...

Quite scary! If these things populate as fast as they do in the prime universe I can only imagine how chaotic that would be!

#star trek #tos #the original series #kirk #captain kirk #tribble #trouble with tribbles #our universe? tribbles are herbivores who love grain!#mirror universe? CARNIVORES #i can only imagine mirrorverse kirk going apeshit when these things run amok on his ship #feral boy MAD #the concept of a mirrorverse trouble with tribbles situation is so funny to consider

one of my favourite lemony snicket Bits has to be when he goes on a long rant about how job interviews are terrible and humiliating and the stakes are unfair and he hates doing them. that being said, you should NEVER lie on a job interview because lying is bad.

“In most cases, the best strategy for a job interview is to be fairly honest, because the worst thing that can happen is that you won't get the job and will spend the rest of your life foraging for food in the wilderness and seeking shelter underneath a tree or the awning of a bowling alley that has gone out of business.” yeah lemony. i think i’m picking up what you’re putting down.

Scene Debunk - Lemony and Jacques whistling in the taxi, TAA (NCT, rather obviously)

What does it mean?

We see a present-day Lemony whistling 'with' his brother who's going to die (in TVV).

THEORY: By now, 'That's Not How The Story Goes' is a well-established 'radio hit', if you will, so Jacques plays it on the taxi's radio and whistles along with - what he BELIEVES to be - his dead brother.

However, present-day Lemony is also in this taxi, as he is also wishing he could spend quality time with his dead brother.

This is a technique that Snicket/Handler's use of, throughout the series, is impeccable: dramatic irony and, to some extent, zeugma/syllepsis.

Dramatic irony is something Lemony rightly and necessarily explains in TRR, but here, the irony is of J believing L was dead and L KNOWING that J's dead now.

Once you understand what zeugma is, you'll know what I mean, though it does appear more in the books...

Zeugma and syllepsis are both figures of speech that involve the use of a single word in different senses or contexts. However, there are some differences between them.

According to the New Oxford American Dictionary, zeugma is a figure of speech in which a word applies to two others in different senses or to two others of which it semantically suits only one.

For example, consider the sentence “John and his license expired last week.”

Here, the word “expired” applies to both “John” and “his license,” but in different senses.

On the other hand, syllepsis is a figure of speech in which a word is applied to two others in different senses or to two others of which it grammatically suits only one.

For instance, consider the sentence “She caught the train and a bad cold.”

Here, the word “caught” is applied to both “the train” and “a bad cold,” but in different senses.

In TEE (I think) Lemony uses it talking about being "in the dark in the dark [in the park]".

And in TCC - "Miracles are like meatballs; no-one can agree on where they come from, what they're made of, or how often they should appear."

Just my thinking,

Recently a Seungri stan messaged me privately to tell me she loves my old DaeRi fanfiction, pointed out one in particular that she reads "every once in a while," and even called me an author she loves. Four or more years ago this sort of feedback on my writing would have been encouraging, and I'd have thanked her for it. Nowadays, though, given the circumstances of that man and his fans, it was... let's just say unsettling.

Ever since the events of 2019 I've had conflicting feelings about my old writing and have many times considered pulling certain pieces down. I left the stories alone, untouched, partly for myself, as a repository of sorts, a public written record of a time past, because I can be stupidly sentimental like that, and partly for Dae stans, who I thought might still like them as long as they could look past the unpleasantness of the pairing's other half.

I expected people would react sensibly to BIGBANG's big change and hoped readers would enjoy my fanfics with the understanding that the past is the past and should be left as such. Accepting and embracing the group in its new form, as it has been since 2019 -- as four. The decision to let it be was certainly not made with fans of Seungri in mind, who by all rights shouldn't exist anymore.

Sad to say, they do. Not only can I not accept their gratitude, a compliment from one on my years-old stories featuring Seungri really upset me. It was an uneasy reminder that my old indulgences can still influence new fans and (mis)lead them into liking, sympathizing with, and supporting Seungri now, in the present, even after all that's happened. Disregarding his departure from the group and defending all the unsavory things about him that have come to light in the years since those stories were written.

Some time ago, on AO3, I turned off notifications for comments and kudos on everything with the mindset that if people were still reading and taking pleasure in my writing from so long ago, I didn't want to know. I thought that what I didn't know couldn't hurt me. But that isn't enough, I now realize. I didn't consider the potential side effects on others outside my target audience. I can't in good conscience look away any longer and allow those positive portrayals made by my hand to stand, even if it is only fiction, because Seungri is a real person who's done real harm, and quite a lot of it. By committing real crimes, and quite a lot of them. He has real power over people, power he's abused, with real-world consequences. And in a way, as a content creator... I have that power too.

So I've finally done what I should have done ages ago and have taken those stories down. It doesn't undo the damage, but at least I can breathe a little easier knowing my past work, which had been wildly overdue for removal, will no longer contribute to the problem still plaguing this band and its fandom today. If there's one lesson I've taken to heart in the years since Burning Sun, it's that I have a duty and a responsibility to do better. We all do.

#seungri #daeri #bigbang #fanfiction #burning sun #'unsettling' is putting it nicely... it was actually revolting #I couldn't get to those fics fast enough to take them down #well technically take them private #effectively the same thing #they're in a private collection on ao3 that no one can access but me #there were three; now there are none #I'm just sorry it took me this long to do #btw two of those stories were gift fics #worst act of generosity ever lol #on a related note I also took down the carnivores series late last year #for various reasons that I don't want to get into here or now
