Writing Patterns (Tag Game)

Rules: list the first line of your last 10 (posted) fics and see if there's a pattern!

Thank you for thinking of me, @medic-6116

Let's see here. Well, my last ten POSTED fics are backdated works that I was moving over from old accounts from >10 years ago so we wont count those. Let's look at the ten most recent fics. Are we counting new chapters? Nah, let's not include those. How do we define a sentence? We'll do "to the first period." (I'm not sorry.)

1: Mandalorian wolf-lords are rarer now than they had ever been in her life, and Fay hadn’t precisely lived a short one. 2: There were three ways to keep a secret that Nate knew. 3: Cid didn't so much dock the ship in Galahd as he hid it, easing them underneath the overhanging boughs of treetops and through the reeds inside the little inlet. 4: The Gray spread into infinity, a boundless expanse that went everywhere and nowhere all at once. 5: Quinn learned it first, Silas learns later. 6: And after he had fought the monsters, when it was all said and done, Artem the Wolf claimed the law of surprise for payment beyond grain or coin, and in the woods therein he found a babe. 7: Grudge doesn’t actually own her own skin. 8: The orders had come in together, in the middle of the regularly scheduled rec hour, and Chrys knew the orders had been for everybody but also different, because she had been working through slicing modules with Trickster when they arrived. 9: Sifo-Dyas wakes slow, dizzy and disoriented, unsure where he is. 10: [Full Link Here] He has been trained by Jon (not only Jon; before him by the Inquisitors, before them by soldiers) and Jon is the wildling who's sense of the Force is tangled vines and semi-permeable reality; when panic and hope and desperation reaches him (when the Force screams and he does not ignore it, he can hear it in almost whispers now and screaming is bad, screaming means now, screaming means don't think) he twists the universe, instinctive, reactionary, folds it, and steps Tae has called for help (Tae has called for him) comes tumbling into him, outside the bolt fired by a (dead, furious, not-alive, and he bears teeth and the Force rises for him, metal twists and bends and snaps) and he shoves bodily down, covers him with all that he is, presses against the other's presence and mind (endless stretches of desert and wild winds, harrowing through singing canyons and tousling dunes) Tae trusts him, he does, he unfolds and here's everything he knows, and darkness soaks it up like a sponge starved for water

(this is war, this is war, the Force is screaming death-knells of the dead all over the planet) this is war and pain and passion and he was forged for this ((here the world fractures and splits, the Force with it, the universe, reality, burning bright, balance unsettled, justice unsatisfied))

the serpent slips out from the shadows of the underbrush into the dunes of sea-sand and rises, dark scales luminous with blood as it's hood flares, threat registered, harmless to predator, the darkness burning in it's gaze

blood on the ground crystalizes and shatters as lightning rakes the sand, breaking, branching; it coils past feet burning bright, stars glowing (too much, too bright, he'll burn up in it) and coils up durasteel, sparking, bounces to the next one, chases over carapace hunting for an in and floor of the arena stills, breathing, and then heaves and rises, like a wave, like the ocean, glass snapping like seafoam and shells crunch, grind, the walls of the arena snap and split and the ground opens to swallow things whole

the emptiness of life is moot when the stars still glitter

Tae reaches out to him, careful, gentle, and the serpent shivers, but the touch is familiar, desert-warm against cold blood Aunsia (Aunsia, thats him, him, fragments of the Force shuddering out of him) breathes, shallow and sharp, not enough, shivering.

@sithsjedi said: “ I wanted to fight injustice, wanted to help people. “ Dooku chuckled wryly, his gaze flickering over towards Yoda whilst he spoke. “ You remember those horrible dreams I had when I was your padawan, don’t you father? Those times where I couldn’t bring myself to sleep, for fear of hearing the cries of those suffering in the galaxy? ” ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ “ I became those nightmares. ”

⚔️ Garrus Vakarian Prompts // CLOSED ⚔️

"Such is the power of the Dark Side." Yoda hums from where he is seated beneath the most recent addition to the temple's garden. The curling, twisting branches of the tree emerge from deep purple bark that arches over the flowerbeds below its boughs in an elegant bridge. Vibrant, pastel pink flowers hang down in long threads. The wind occasionally lifts the vines up and sends their fragrant, rectangular petals scattering. across the open paths.

It is an Adrakian Bitterberry Tree, planted years ago as a sapling by Aurelia. It had been a gift given to the council when they first brought her, and over the years, it had become a quiet, comfortable place for her and her friends. Her and Sutek would sit on the arching trunk together and meditate or chase insects through the branches. Her and Jocasta would sit and read under its shade and drink tea while discussing their latest favorite book. Her and Sifo-Dyas would see if the vines were strong enough to hold their weight and climb them in a bid to see who could get higher. And of course, her and Yan would sit together and talk about their hopes and dreams for the future underneath its sparse bough.

And as things fell apart and the war came and went, it became a testament to her hope. She tended to it endlessly, pruning and watering and deweeding it. For she'd told Master Yoda that she wanted the tree to remain strong and healthy for when Yan came back. Not if, but when. And when he had returned, she'd been so excited to show him that it was still there. The place only they knew of, still intact and still there for him.

Yoda sits on its bark now, touching the place where their nails and claws scratched at the bark to get a grip so they could sit together, wistfully reflecting on the days of their youth that seemed to pass so quickly. "Powerful is its seduction. Show us what we want it does. Convince us that it is achieved so easily, it does. Tap into our selfish desires for instant gratification and power, its specialty is. Twist our intentions into evil, it does. Paved with good intentions, the road to Hell is."

He looks at Dooku, smiling gently as he does. His cane rises to tap against Yan's shoulder in an older gesture of lighthearted playfulness. "Even still, managed to find your way back, didn't you? Want to clean up your mess, do you not? More grace than most lost, have you, my son."

target (msby 4)

👁👁 what happens if MSBY 4 got stuck in Target after closing hours haha pure brainrot (some osamei if you squint real hard)

the chaos beginsー

genre: sfw, crack

cw: cursings

wc: 1.2k

It was Atsumu's idea to get a midnight snack from Target while they were having a friendly in the states (thanks to Iwaizumi). He’s been blabbering non-stop about THE Target of America since the MSBY team got the match offer. Being the chaotic himbo duo, Bokuto and Hinata thought Tsumu was really cool for knowing shits about the US (we all know he saw only the target vine once).

Sakusa wasn’t impressed the slightest and thought it was a dumb idea and just wanted to feel the new, fresh cleaned hotel sheets asap but how could he? Especially not after seeing Hinata’s eyes, filled with the wonders of the awesomeness of the American experience.

“Cmon Omi-kun~ dya know that they don’t have antibacterial soap?”

Sakusa was SHOOK. He needs to see this with his own eyes. How can there be no such thing?

After getting direction and a few snacks recommendations from Iwaizumi, they went off to the nearest Target from their hotel. It was about a 15-minute walk there. What Iwaizumi forgot to tell them is that Target closes a bit earlier than Walmart. waaaayyy earlier. But he trusts them. They’re not THAT dumb and besides, Sakusa is following them. At least we got some brain cells in the pack. Boy how he underestimated them. The four of them entered the 3-story corner lot Target. They took the trolley and started to wander off to the food section.

They tried to find Eggo and Pop Tarts as Iwaizumi told them but then Bokuto spotted Cheetos and instantly grabbed them without a breath to spare. Hinata was wandering around the aisle and just crossing the breakfast section, his eyes widened. He tugs Bokuto’s shirt.

“Bokuto-san! THEY HAVE OREO CEREALS HERE!!!”

Bokuto gasps. And then their eyes wandered the 5 tiers of cereals stretching the aisle. Fruity Loops, Honey Oats, KRAVE!!! They thought the chips were hard but CEREALS WERE EVEN HARDER. Hinata dumps the Oreo cereal into the trolley.

“Hey guys, since Target is HUGE, wanna play hide and seek?”

Tsumu texted the group chat. A notification lighted up from the group

Omi-omi: Are you a kid?

BOKUTO: I SAW TENTS! I CALLED DIBS!!!

Tsumu: what's the point then if we know where you are? Loser gonna buy winners snacks until we go back

Tsumu tried to reel in Omi. Saving money and having Tsumu as an errand boy? Nothing sparks the fire in Sakusa’s eyes than that.

“Fine.”

He replied. By the time Tsumu began begging Omi to play, Hinata and Bokuto already off to find the spots and left Tsumu and Omi to decide which of them would be the seeker.

Omi-omi: Since it was your idea, try to find us then

Tsumu has no objections. He said exactly the clock hits 9PM, the hunt begins. What sheer dumb luck befalls on the time.

Tsumu wanders around since he has 6 minutes. He tries to find what Iwa asked.

“How tf should I know what a Tostitos looks like”.

The timer buzzed, the hunt begins. As Tsumu slides the timer off, the lamp turned off as well. He was weirded out. He thought his phone could control the lights. In awe, his brain cells connected: “shit its closing time”. He speed-dialed Osamu and screams

“SAMU I'M STUCK IN TARGET HELP ME OUT”

“How am I supposed to help. I’m in Japan ya idiot. Get out yourself.”

What Osamu forgot was that he’s Facetiming Meian on his laptop. He picked up the call and put it on speaker but Meian heard it.

“WHAT THE FUCK ATSUMU”

Meian screamed but Osamu didn't tell him about Meian to Atsumu so he hung up immediately. Tsumu was bewildered. Was that the capt voice just now? Capt with his brother? Oh God. He texted the group fast but his battery is down to 6% after the call. He cant use the flashlight or else he can't get to anyone.

Hinaaataaaa: AHDUS!/),7/‘-$;&shdjsj HMWAYBHAPPENED

Tsumu: calmed down Hinata, wru?

Hinaaataaaa: im at the fitting room.

BOKUTO: im at the tent outside the fitting room.

Now, only Omi left. Knowing him, he probably wanders around the cleaning supplies to see if the soap was true or not. Tsumu picks up Hinata and Bokuto and starts finding their way to Sakusa. “Atsumu-san, are we going to jail, or are we gonna live long enough to see jail before Iwaizum-san killed us?” Hinata questions. At this point, Tsumu feels jail is way safer than Iwa’s wrath.

Bokuto’s hair droops as he was sad the game didn't even start. And he lost the Fruit Loops cereal somewhere (poor baby). Omi didn't text back. Three of them just wanders around the cleaning aisle, hoping to spot the tall masked man. And there he was indeed.

Sakusa’s face was blank. There was no reaction when Hinata's phone flashes the phone onto him. Tsumu was getting worried if he had a phobia in the dark or something. Tsumu creeps in closer and shakes Sakusa’s shoulders.

“Hey Omi, ya okay?”.

Sakusa turns his head slowly to face Tsumu.

“I saw it. It was real''

Hinata was trembling and the lights went all over the place. Bokuto’s hair was straight again, shivering down his beefy back spine.

“Omi, what did you see...”

Bokuto asked. There's no ghost in America, right...? Sakusa’s eyes started to show confusion.

“The soap. They don't have it. How is this even possible...”

“Omi can ya read the situation a bit better next time?”

“I thought I might need new pants...” Hinata added.

“Omi, we’re stuck inside. Can you call captain? Since you’re the only one that has the sim card. Don't call Iwaizumi-san”

Sakusa shrugs and pulls out his phone, only to find 10 missed calls from Meian. Sakusa called their captain back and put it on speaker.

“Hey capt-“

“I LEFT YOU GUYS FOR 30 MINUTES AND THIS HAPPENED?”

Meian screams. He felt like his height is going to get shorter by day if he keeps needing to carry the chaos of the four of them.

“I’ll bring Iwa with me. Just stay near the entrance. We’ll call in and see”

They waited but before anything, they checked out the well-lit fridges to grab more food to bring back to the hotel. They searched for microwavable ones. Hinata is still scared and he was holding on to Bokuto the whole time. Bokuto pats Hinata’s back gently, trying to calm him down and there will be nothing scarier than the scariest thing he had. Kageyama’s face flashed instantly. yeah, there's nothing beating that. Sakusa’s phone vibrates again. Meian texted that the store owner is gonna come in 5. They all went back to the front door and waited.

There stood Meian and Iwa, waiting for the four dumbasses to be out of the store. They apologized to the owner and felt bad as 4 grown-ass adults got stuck inside. The owner smiled and said it's okay since they're not from around here. They hurried back along with the snacks from Target

“AAAHHH”

Tsumu screamed. Iwa turned his back and to see what's up.

“I FORGOT THE EGGOS” he screamed.

At this point, let's just say MSBY 4 became 3 whenever they went outside.

Note to self: false sense of urgency for these fandom things

My head is cluttered with a big fandom to-do list that I can’t stop thinking about, because these ideas drop down on me at random moments during the day and I cannot solve them immediately, so I keep snoozing them. 

Out of my head and onto the page!

Lady, unless the friend specifies it. These things have no immediacy. It’s nice when you can do it within considerable time, but you don’t have to. The pressure you feel others put on you, is a pressure you project on yourself. 

Practise the ted-talk thing of priority=now. Think like the hiking woman and the plumbing woman. Also get up more. Obey your breaks.

Hollywood & Vine: Intersection of the Stars

“When Harry S. Truman announced on August 14, 1945 that World War II with Japan was over, the nation and Hollywood went wild.  Rushing from offices, stores, and homes, thousands of people poured into the streets. In the midst of sirens, whistles, auto horns and screaming, the streets were snowed with confetti. Servicemen and civilians snake danced through the jumbled crowds while singing ‘Hail, hail, the job’s all done’. An impromptu parade formed that paralyzed traffic. Clanging streetcars tried to fight their way through the masses of humanity. Strangers clapped one another on the back.  Servicemen kissed every pretty girl they met, and the girls kissed back.” ~ Bruce Torrence

Where did this happen? At Hollywood and Vine! The storied intersection has become enshrined in public imagination, a symbol of Hollywood itself. It has witnessed many iconic events, including the celebration of VJ Day at the end of WWII and various celebrity achievements along the Walk of Fame. Located at the east end of the Hollywood Boulevard Commercial and Entertainment District (listed in the National Register of Historic Places), the intersection is a legendary destination to experience the significance of Hollywood’s influence on the nation’s popular culture.

Three of the four corners are occupied by some of Hollywood’s most significant architectural treasures to boot: the Taft Building, Equitable Building, and Broadway Building. These three highrises, each built in the 1920s to a height of 150 feet, the allowable limit of the time, are central to the history of the street. Their construction celebrated the financial health of Hollywood as it was becoming the “movie capital of the world.” The Taft (1923, architects Walker and Eisen, Classical Revival) was primarily an office building with ground floor retail. The Equitable (1929, Aleck Curlett, Gothic Art Deco) housed a bank and entertainment related offices; the Broadway, originally the BH Dyas Department Store, served the public with luxury goods (1927, Frederick Rice Dorn, Classical Revival; 1938 International style addition by John and Donald Parkinson). Its iconic rooftop sign remains today.

The land around the intersection was developed by the Taft, Beesemeyer, Christie, Stern, Strong and Palmer families. Originally devoted to agriculture, the area was later subdivided to take advantage of the new commercial possibilities presented by the burgeoning movie industry. The families determined to strengthen the eastern end of the Hollywood business district by promoting Vine Street as a major north-south artery running from the Los Angeles business district through Hollywood to the San Fernando Valley. Their Vine Street Improvement Association widened the street, adding curbs and sidewalks with the intent of forming a business and scenic route. Vine connected to the Cahuenga Pass via Yucca and Franklin at the northern end of the route, becoming Rossmore Ave as it proceeded south to Wilshire Blvd through Hancock Park.  

The architectural treasures clustered at Hollywood and Vine and the surrounding environs are no accident. While each is a stunning example of a particular architectural style and the work of significant architects of the day, the collection of structures as a whole are a testament to the larger vision of the city’s builders and developers, as well as those in the film industry whose profits further fueled construction efforts. The building’s varied styles were also no coincidence: certain styles came to personify certain functions – retail, entertainment, and finance.  

On the north side of the intersection, the area’s developers successfully secured a federal grant to build a post office. The building, demolished in the 1980s, was replaced by the Redbury Hotel (now hClub Los Angeles). S.H. Woodruff, one of the developers of Hollywoodland, in collaboration with the Tafts, financed the sophisticated Churrigueresque Hollywood Playhouse designed by Gogerty and Weyl next door at 1735 Vine. The playhouse served as a legitimate theater, later becoming home to Ken Murray’s Blackouts variety show. It’s currently known as the Avalon and continues as an entertainment venue to this day. Gogerty and Weyl also built another highrise just up the block in 1929 called the Yucca Vine Tower (6305 Yucca). The Art Deco structure almost literally points the way to the San Fernando Valley, as it is situated on that primary “Five Fingers” route connecting the Hollywood Commercial District to the Valley via the Cahuenga Pass. Twenty-five years later, Lou Naidorf of Welton Becket Associates, designed one of Hollywood’s most famous buildings of all, the Capitol Records Tower at 1750 Vine.  

On the southwest side, gentleman rancher Jacob Stern, who leased some of his property to filmmakers in 1912 in an effort to spark the film industry’s move to Hollywood, built the Plaza Hotel at 1637 Vine (1924, Walker and Eisen, Renaissance Revival). He also invested in the Vine Street Theater (now the Montalban Theater) at 1615 Vine. In 1925, Frank Strong and other investors secured the Stern property and replaced his Mission Revival residence with the BH Dyas highrise. “This advance from an orange orchard to a metropolitan business section in a little over five years was purely the result of intelligent cooperative effort,” said historian Edwin Palmer.  

The investments on Vine Street were matched on the adjacent blocks of Hollywood Boulevard. In 1929, Alexander Pantages hired B. Marcus Priteca to design an Art Deco masterpiece at 6233 Hollywood Blvd., just east of the Equitable Building. One of Hollywood’s most fabled “movie palaces”, the Pantages Theater continues to be one of the most vital legitimate theaters in Los Angeles today. West of Vine, Sardi’s Restaurant was designed by architect Rudolph Schindler to complement the Streamline Moderne Laemmle Building (1932, Richard Neutra) and the 12-story Beau Arts office Guaranty Building (1923, John C. Austin and Frederick Ashley), conveniently situated just a block from the other Hollywood and Vine highrises on the corner of Ivar.  

Today, new construction supplements this prestigious part of Hollywood’s historic core. The W Hotel and metro station complex surrounds the Taft Building to the east and south, encompassing the former location of the Brown Derby Hollywood restaurant, and a new parking structure separates the Plaza from the Montalban. Even with all the recent development, this historic intersection continues to showcase examples of architecture from Hollywood’s Golden Age, hopefully for several more generations to come.

Për kulturen postmoderne, manipulimii tekstit dhe rrjedhimisht lidhja e saj arbitrare me kontekstin eshte konteksti yne. ”Qyteti.Kjo bashkesi e madhe njerezore qe perben thelbin e zonave me te medha metropolitane dhe urbane,eshte I detyruar te qendoij aty ne mes te krizes dhe informacionit por dhe ai ka ndryshimet e veta ndonjeher dhe me te dhimbshme se ato ndryshime qe ka pesuar kriza dhe informacioni.Ai , qyteti eshte I detyruar te shkuli nga vetja e vet shum gjera te vjetra dhe me vlere  dhe ti zevendesoj ato me gjera te reja.Kjo gje eshte njesoj si ti maresh nenes nga duart femijen e vet dhe ti japesh nje kukull per femije.Ndonjeher atij I hapen shum plage dhe I lien ashtu me vite me radhe te pambyllura.Ai eshte I detyruar te duroje pisllekun qe le kriza dhe informacioni ne te.Ai mban mban dhe vetem mban gradacelat e medha qe mund ti krahasojme me titatnet qe perdit vetem shtohen.Por edhe pse keto gjera I dhembin ai perseri I mban.Eshte I detyruar te duroj dhe te shikoje njekohesisht  tradhtimin e bukuris te tij kur ato pak lulishte te bukura  qe I kan ngelur I zevendesohen me parqe betoni.Kush do mund ta duronte shemtimin e vetes te tij pa per gje?Vetem ai qyteti.Mos ndoshta eshte me mie  te kthehemi pas ne koh?Apo mos ndoshta koha po na ndeshkon?Mos ndoshta teknologjia e informaconit na ka ndryshuar?Apo mos ndoshta ne qytetaret e qyteteve nuk e duam veten kaq shum saqe nuk e mendojm pjesen qe kur I bejme dicka qytetit ne fakt ja kemi ber ate vetes tone,femijve tane dhe atyre qe ndoshta do vine pas nesh………..?
