#i have no clue how you got here

[falderaletcetera]

listen. I don't just love father brown because I first saw it while ill with the flu or because it's consistently kind to the outcast in a way that has reviewers calling it Too Woke, obviously a vote in its favour. or because the recurring thief character is very pretty to watch. though those are significant parts of it.

I love it because after eight seasons father brown sits down with the village drunk (a munitions expert in the war, has a soft spot for the parish secretary, name of harold or blind harry) to find out why he gave a murder suspect a false alibi and harry explains to him, calm as you like, that seeing the life leave someone's eyes changes a person, that it's what he reckons brought father brown to his faith, that it's what drove him to drink, and he didn't see that shadow in the guy the police are chasing this time. and father brown, rather than justifying or correcting or dodging or doubting him, says he knows how unjust the situation is. that he got something good out of the horrors of the war. that harry really didn't.

it is not a perfect show and yes I have problems with it but gosh, this is a character who's largely used for comedic beats, albeit kindly, and a scene like this isn't out of place at all but it still takes my breath away. we could've been left with this as subtext, y'know? I hadn't even put together that his alcoholism must have been trauma. but instead harry tells us this directly, tells us it's about guilt, that that's something he shares with father brown, who is competent and so often cheerful and I can't even imagine when he was younger, and it's a moment of such unexpected humanity and respect. and it's such a strange thing to see these characters side by side like that.

the scene ends with father brown calling harry a good man, and harry denying it ("they was only young lads" "so were we, harold. so were we.") and the two them sharing a drink as father brown gets a bit watery-eyed and I'm crying too over my nice cosy 'this is a concerning number of murders for a sleepy english village' show and just. hi. what. ow.

I also haven't recovered from the episode that turned into a heist halfway through but frankly I'm only mentioning that because I don't know how to wrap up a post like this. (it was good though. there were two separate honeypots, three if you count the impromptu replacement, one character terrible at grifting and one unexpectedly great at it, and, somehow, a con within a con. it was really very fun. get a show that can do both, I guess?)

#back on my bullshit (unrepentant) #I was raised so protestant I retain a deep suspicion of priests so this remains very startling to me #something something father brown handshake emoji iroh #love where they are now no clue how they got there but it's always kind of a shock to be reminded there was blood along the way #also like. the kindness. the tea. the fondness for life's small pleasures. #pretending to be harmless and friendly and also BEING harmless and friendly to the core. #this is an association I had not made before so if you'll excuse me I'm gonna go hide my face in a pillow about it #father brown #falderal speaks #love a show that waits until you're comfy and then smacks you with a very human reminder of the horrors of war #love a character with. moral injury. listen shush I'm very predictable I just hadn't put together that it was father frikking brown too #silly little (not little) guy who elbows his way into situations by smiling pleasantly at people and who likes cake and jazz music #it's not like I forget he has depth I just. forget that the story GOES there #and so respectfully. harold who is usually slightly comic relief getting a serious moment that explains a lot and doesn't even feel jarring #I'm stopping here but like. good show‚ show. I did in fact have unexpected emotions about it.

Fic so good u start imagining more fic for it

#rambles #man. SATBK fic (specifically 'what isnt yours') killing me atm #thinking abt the satbk cast interacting with main world counterparts and goddd #silver and galahad would be so. like what do you mean you got to be raised in a relatively healthy environment with a dad and stability #youre a knight and training to improve and here i am doing the same thing but with no guidance and the future on my shoulders #satbk save me. save me satbk #also nimue and amy would get along i think. tails and the blacksmith too (trading of special interest info) #percival and blaze both having that high level if dignity and duty but one coming from being a knight and the other being a princess. #gawain and knuckles might clash over small things but overall get along #shadow would not fucking stand lancelot. what do you mean all these rules of following a king dictate how i should act. i choose for myself #and lamorak and jet i have no fucking clue. mutual recognition for skill but also 'what is WRONG with you' maybe??? #too busy with school to write or draw comic... so i must daydream

thinking about her... FDB!Elentari...

she'd have to be one of the very first bretons, or a snow elf (since she does have distant snow elf ancestry on her mother's side, inheriting the pale hair, skin, and eyelashes, but none of the tolerance for the cold, poor thing).

she's a wolf priestess—worshipper of Mara the Wolf-Mother—and both this and her natural compassion would lead her to begin rebelling against the dragon cult. of course, when the Dragon War kicked off and mortals brought the first dragon down, she'd be as surprised as anyone when she absorbed the soul. she'd be quickly positioned as a figurehead of the rebellion, and much like her LDB self, she'd see it as her duty: save everyone, however she can.

but what if she accepted the Nord Heroes' pleas for help and was there that day atop the Throat of the World?

what if, when all seemed lost, after she determinedly refused to let Gormlaith Golden-Hilt die of her injuries, she sacrificed herself to enter the Time Wound with Alduin? knowing that she'd be leaving her world and her people behind, not knowing when—if ever—she'd return?

and what if she emerged four thousand years later in that same spot, exactly as the wheel turned on the Last Dragonborn... a golden-haired farmer's son turned mage and musician, who is given the name "Miraak" in another life, another universe?

#oc: elentari #miraak #skyrim #otp: i fear no fate (for you are my fate) #i've got so many AUs for these two i was bound to have to ramble about at least one of them eventually #because imagine it... #miraak (who would be using his 👀soon to be revealed👀 birth name here) would have been raised knowing of her. of course he would. #the priestess of mara who gave herself up to save skyrim? there'd be STATUES i'm telling you. songs. SONGS HE'D KNOW HOW TO SING AND PLAY #and then all of a sudden there she is... (with no clue how to speak modern tamrielic mind you...)

i finally wrote an xword that i think might be nyt-submittable...i originally wrote it for the local paper though so i now have to go back through and rework the clues to take out the specific local ones and make some of the others harder. i know exactly which day of the week this would run in the nyt (if it gets accepted) because this type of theme always runs on the same day, so at least i know which clue difficulty to aim for, but i'm still finding it difficult to hit that precise level! i'm used to just making the clues as easy as possible because my local paper's audience is mostly people who aren't xword aficionados. i already reworked this puzzle a couple times based on feedback from friends and family but that was all still when i thought i'd be running it in my local paper. i kinda just want to be done with it but i've never had a theme and fill i thought were completely nyt-worthy before!

#i've been thinking that i would write a puzzle that was intended for the nyt from the beginning #but i never prioritize it because the local paper is actually expecting something from me and i have deadlines with them #so this might be the only way it ever actually happens #i feel kinda bad for the local paper that they don't even get my best work haha but also this theme would probably be too hard #for most of their audience (though let's face it probably all of my puzzles are too hard for various reasons) #aw shoot though i just reread the submission guidelines and they're specifically looking for themes OTHER THAN this type #hmmm #cruciverbs #i also wouldn't mind submitting this in collaboration with a more experienced constructor who could help me with the clues #and i imagine such people are always looking for greenhorn collaborators because it allows them to have >3 submissions #in the queue...but i don't even know how one goes about finding such people #if i submit it and they reject it no harm no foul EXCEPT that i don't know how long it would take them to get back to me #and if this isn't going to run in the nyt then i'd still like to run it in the local paper #but also maybe if they reject it they'll be like 'we don't want this but you seem to have promise so here's the email address of #one of our veteran constructors who would be willing to work with you on other ideas you may have' #i just made that up idk if they would actually do that haha but it seems plausible. and wouldn't it be nice? #i do have another nyt-specific idea that i've been spinning my wheels on for like two years #hmm hmm hmm. i think my best bet is still to rework these clues and submit it and see what happens #worst case scenario is they never get back to me. which is a distinct possibility given what happened with my #american xword puzzle tournament previous year solved puzzles (ie they never got back to me >:( ) #but that was will shortz. this is will shortz plus like 5 other people. he probably doesn't even see new submissions

i have been lurking around online help forums answering questions for probably at least 15 years and to this day it still drives me absolutely bananas when people essentially just post "HELP! I HAVE A PROBLEM" and then refuse to provide any information or context as if you are some sort of mind-reading savant capable of inducing all the information required on the broadest problem imaginable

#motivated by someone who posted about how they cant figure out X thing #where the thing in question is that they were trying to install code they found online #but they did not say what they were trying to add or what it was or where they got #or even whether it was something that was a part of something they were writing or just a couple lines #and of course after replies from op i see oh you're installing a third-party add-on #and that add-on literally has installation instructions #so i have absolutely no clue why they are posting to a DIFFERENT website. literally asking for quote 'explain step by step' #WHEN THEY DONT SAY WHAT THEY'RE DOING #AND WHAT THEYRE DOING #ALREADY HAS STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS #the issue that im taking isnt that this person struggled to understand how to do something. thats fine. thats why im here #it just frustrates me when people dont try to articulate what the issue is #you dont need to be RIGHT but i do need to know 1) what are you trying to do 2) what have you done to achieve (i.e. post your damn code/ref #3) what is going wrong and then just an optional 4 of context #but 1 2 3 are very important otherwise it's just playing 20 questions #and this is all assuming we've gotten past the stuff like 'is the program actually set up how you claim it is set up' #because a lot of times the problem is they misunderstood a setting which is making everything else wrong #but that's the kind of thing i can infer based having accurate information

if you’re having a “really bad day” maybe don’t get online or answer inbox messages. then you won’t come off harsh. regulating yourself and setting boundaries for yourself is healthy.

Thank you dr. Phil do you take cash or check?

I actually got online to put my energy into something like drafts because i love being here and i love writing. I hadn't been on all day. I wanted to get on and do something i love to help the bad day. I also tend to answer anons on the snarky side anyway given the immense amount of hate that i get, especially the ones that sound like bait.

Yea im sure you have some advice for those too like "dont answer bait anons" i dont. That one was on the fence so i tried to be straightforward, and apologized if it sounded harsher than i meant it.

If you like to give out advice so much maybe consider a blog that offers it where people can come to you if they want it.

#the one and only... sort of: ooc #answered #guess who is still having a bad time and doesn't care anymore? #maybe id care what you have to say more if you stopped telling me how to deal with my mental health on anon #and came to me as a real person or friend with your advice. #i got on here to have a good time i was setri g boundaries for myself #you have no fucking clue what i do and dont do you just wanted to come tell me how to luve my life o. anon #if you actually care anon isnt the way to go #you want to 'help' the do it as a real person not an anon #alexa play help me by demi lavato

schools don't really teach critical thinking they say they do but never explain What critical thinking is and also don't tell you how to practice it Unless you get the one teacher who actually teaches you and also. He never actually describes it as "critical thinking". And this might be my autism or some other shit but it's really hard to understand that you are being taught critical thinking when no one ever fucking defines critical thinking. Even when you're LEARNING CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS

#literally my ap history teacher taught us CAPP- context/audience/purpose/pov and i only realized it was critical thinking when I got used to #Fucking Tumblr media analysis. To be clear: Tumblr DIDNT introduce me to critical thinking. Tumblr was the place I LEARNED THE DEFINITION #And wow it's hard to practice something when you have no fucking clue what!!! It is!!! #Also in English class I assumed a character was being truthful (autism) when they weren't and answered assuming that #And the class didn't teach me ''heres how to read it and identify why/how they're lying'' it was just ''you answered the question wrong''

i have been following you for a couple of years now, mostly silently. you are so beautiful, inside and out! the few times i have seen your face uncensored have made me swooon! the even fewer times i have heard you sing, my heart overfilled with such joy!

your honesty about your struggles and how you keep going are simply inspiring. thank you for sharing.

i am manifesting love and joy for you! 💕

#don’t mind me just sobbing over here 😭 #I don’t even know what to say #thank you so so much for all the kind words and taking the time to send me this #it definitely made my week 🩷 #this filled me with such warmth and joy and love #thank you 😭 #I’m starting to get back into singing and was thinking about posting covers on TikTok before this whole ban bullshit 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ #I think it would be fun to learn new songs and share my version with everyone #the last bit was the part that made me tear up tbh #I’ve stopped being super duper honest about everything ever since I got that shit ask awhile ago #I know I blocked them and it doesn’t matter but then it just made me think there’s probably more who thought the same way #but I do miss going off in the tags and just letting it all out lol #thank you so so so much for this ask #you have no clue how much this means to me and how needed it was #thank you thank you thank you #I’m manifesting peace love and happiness your way my sweet anon 🩷 #ask #anon #fav asks #I’m gonna keep this ask with those compliments I was talking about earlier 🫶🥰

Don’t know if you plan this, but will spamton eventually tell the other 3 Ads about how his glitches feel? Like the “burning/hot plate sensation” I don’t think Survey ever told them, and doesn’t want to say things on spams behalf, but I am curious on how their reactions will be in that area!

Also! Do you plan on introducing Kris back into the story later on? As spams whole “being pardoned by them” thing? If not, that’s totally fine as well!

Another thing! Do you view Gaster as Mike? Or a another party? I know that Gaster and Spam have a connection, no doubt about that, but I just wanted to hear your thoughts!

rlly good question! honestly i have an answer for that first bit in the next chapter when some of the adds talk about, well, the complicated things that they've seen from spamton. The terms and conditions here. unfortunately for surv, they got some of the most heart wrenching info, but i'd feel they're rlly talkative and communicative in nature, telling the others the latest Spamton Revelation Of The Day

(i plan to put more of their convos in the next chapter, which is almost done as i've had it set aside a lot in lieu of a new job lol but i'm gettin there)

I dont plan on bringing kris into this fic, mostly because i'm unsure what canon will do, and this fic is like an au equivalent of a waiting-room-for-chapter-3-to-come-out-for-me like we know for the lightners it's over the course of the week, but for darkners, so little has been said about how their world works it's the creativity juices coming into play. Though he eagerly awaits their return and to be his best self just in time to be a better ally to the party than jevil :D

speaking of not knowing what canon will do, I've definitely been alluding mike to being gaster, but only because that was my favorite theory at the time of writing srpsb. After sweepstakes, it's changed a bit, or i've become a lot more open minded about all the possibilities about who mike really is. Still, I'm committing to keeping Mike as the one who was the one behind the phone and the strings, at least in this au, despite it one day maybe being turned all on its head (but hey that's the fun of fanfic lmao). Though you won't see me saying Mike=Gaster for sure, it's my favorite theory, and one i've been sold on since moment one, but one big thing in my writing is keeping many things vague since the UT/DR fandom is rich with theories and headcanons and i keep a lot of things open to interp (except acid theory like i can't get behind that one at all but yet i never have. absolutely no shame but i like the light/puppetification theory a LOT more just cuz of Spamtons plethora of themes. this isn't a surprise but ya the fic isn't friendly to acid theory lol).

#i never rlly liked how gaster was portrayed in the UT fandom #i liked the mysteriousness and vagueness of canon and the fall and the followers being hints and clues #here in DR it feels like it can be him it was the same vibes i got from the mentions of him in UT for the first time #ESPECIALLY the phone and the cellphone sounding like garbage noise and that maybe linking to the wrong number song??? maybe??????? #however then you got spamton talking about Tenna in the sweepstakes #(who got me thinking maybe mike is a good guy and tenna is actually bad) #but i digress for this fic i'm commiting and maybe when more DR comes out i'll write something then #mike will be mentioned less tho as the adds aren't going to bring that up again until spamton is ready #swatch is curious too like these are their answers they've been waiting years for and have mistreated spamton over not getting #but still after what happened they're not planning on pissing him off anytime soon #maybe #asks #fanfic #aaaaa ty for the ask srry i got to it late!!! i hope i got to everything #gaster is goopy grandpa to me
