#writing in the ready room

[readinginthereadyroom]

it’s desperate times (911 5x02) and there are serious predators loose from the LA zoo. and the firefam is on animal control.

but that’s not really what this is about. it’s just the lead up. cause buck is legit freaking out. a snow leopard. a sumatran tiger. a chimpanzee! a chimp will literally rip your face off! while eddie is just fond. not even really listening--actually interrupting him to comment on how buck takes chris there all the time. got the place memorized. 

and like, if you are in the 911 fandom you know this moment. it’s endlessly giffable. so buddie-centric. so dad!buck it hurts. 

it’s also not the first time buck’s hung out with chris without eddie. nope. the first time (that we see) is in kids today (911 3x01). eddie shows up to buck’s loft unannouced with chris in tow. cause carla is in morongo, eddie has to work, and chris is gonna hang out with his buck today.

and the day goes great. ice cream and the pier and a giant teddy bear. until it doesn’t. until it’s the worst day of buck’s entire life.

that is. until he stumbles upon eddie. and has to tell him it’s actually the worst day of eddie’s life. 

thankfully, it’s a nightmare that lasts all of five seconds. and then chris is just there. alive and unhurt and looking for buck. because while buck’s been endlessly searching for chris, chris has also been searching for buck. 

because in the end--in the search--they’ve saved each other. and I think eddie understands that more than anyone. buck...there's nobody in this world I trust with my son more than you. 

in fact, that was the whole impetus of buck babysitting chris to begin with. maybe he can teach you something. only it turns out the lesson is love. because just like eddie, buck loves chris enough to never stop trying. trying to find him. trying to save him. trying to be the best buck he can be--for chris. 

and it’s the small things too. assessible skateboards and soccer leagues and lift-off hugs and trips to the zoo. trips that start...right now. 

because eddie brings chris right back to buck at the end of the searchers (911 3x03). drops 20 bucks for pizza and some advice. maybe try going to the zoo this time, something inland.

and it seems like they have been. for over two years. just chris and his buck and the zoo. 

#evan 'buck' buckley #eddie diaz #christopher diaz #911 fox #feeling a little deranged about this #like am I the first person to make this connection? #eddie was like you should take chris to the zoo #and buck's like sure let me just do that for the rest of my natural life #also pretty please some gif these two moments together? #writing in the ready room

student council au where wei wuxian ran "as a joke" but won president with lan wangji as his vice president and their shenanigans as wwx uses a sizeable amount of their budget for carnivals and student events and lwj just...lets him

his uncle, the principal, asks him what on earth are you doing and lwj just takes out a research paper that shows the benefits of fun and relaxing activities on student mental health while wwx is shooting a t-shirt canon at the crowd behind them

there's a sofa in the student lounge that wwx uses to take naps and everytime he does his shirt rides up revealing a sliver of skin and lwj has one hand in a tight horny grip as he calculates how much of their budget they can devote to a bunny petting zoo even though the insurance will be a nightmare but wwx really wants one so he will get one.

(at the petting zoo, wwx tells him the bunny petting zoo was a birthday gift for him)

(lwj kisses his big stupid perfect little face)

#i think i'll probably repurpose this into a student activities council au which is extremely niche and personal for me specifically #but oh man i have so many ideas and 90% of them are gonna be from my own college experience #get ready for falling in love while stapling flyers to dorm hallways during office hours #bed sharing because your advisor booked the wrong hotel room at a convention leading to activities that are never spoke about again #planning for weeks on a single event that flops but then the weekly low budget game night is a sucess cause you got jalapeno poppers #all of this has happened to me personally this au is just my college experiences and love sdkjfhdskjghsj #mdzs #mdzs au #mo dao zu shi #wangxian #the untamed #wei wuxian #lan wangji #bushy writing #mdzs fanfiction

Was doing my second playthrough of cotl when i encountered Haro and I realised something about the dialogue that I hadn't originally.

This is an interesting choice of words. The others are described with adjectives delineating their personality: "temperamental", "cowardly", and "brightest". Given what we see and hear from them in our encounters I would even say that these words are the pillars of their characters, their singular most identifiable traits (that don't relate to their domains).

But hapless? I don't feel like our encounters with Leshy really get this idea across to us, and I suppose how could they from dialogue alone? To save anyone who doesn't know from a trip to google, hapless means unfortunate, or unlucky. My first thought was that this could be referring to how Leshy, generally speaking, is the first to die in a playthrough... but I also feel as though that would be an odd contrast to the adjectives we get for the other bishops - surely dying first alone wouldn't warrant Leshy's entire character to be distilled into "hapless". I'm also not sure if you even need to have defeated Leshy to get this dialogue from Haro either (I don't really feel like checking), which would render that point null.

I feel like this is alluding to something in his character that we don't actually know about yet, or maybe we will never know about. Does it allude to the order in which Narinder maimed the other bishops (could be, Leshy's dialogue about trusting 'the chained one' is... interesting depending on how you choose to read into it)? Or is it something else entirely?

Am I overthinking this? Definitely. Am I going to take this tidbit of dialogue and absolutely fucking Sprint with it for my headcanons? yes, yes i am

#there is not a singular waking moment that i do not spend thinking about this stupid leaf worm #me when i spend 30 mins overanalysing a SINGULAR WORD instead of getting ready for bed #cotl spoilers #cult of the lamb #leshy cotl #cotl theory #writings of the fanatic #i'm making that my cotl text tag #seems fitting #it's the name of the ost that plays in the ancient tablet rooms in case reference wasn't clear lol

God every day I think about Akane’s breakdown in door 3 because there really is no correct way to interpret that and every possibility makes me crazy. Like she sees this fucked up corpse whom Junpei (and the player, depending on how they play) believes is their friend Snake, but she knows that it’s Guy X. It’s a man she very intentionally put in the game for this very purpose, so that he could die horrifically and be displayed for everyone to see. And she has a full mental breakdown over being trapped in this room with the corpse, being trapped by Junpei, to the point where she rips out her hair and starts bleeding from how much she bangs on the door screaming to get out. And fuck, there’s so many possibilities like

Akane could be feeling genuine terror over the sight of the body, and with that remorse. She made this happen, she wanted this to happen, and now she’s forced to quite literally watch the damage she’s caused unfold. She can detach herself from his murder easily in other timelines where she doesn’t have to look at it, and she can sleep easy knowing that her hands are technically clean because she didn’t do the literal killing. But she can’t do that here, and she has to face the fact that not only did she happily cause this death, she failed her mission. She isn’t going to survive, and now this man is dead for nothing and everything is her fault

On the other hand, her entire breakdown could be completely fabricated in order to keep playing the role of the damsel in distress who is so innocent that the very sight of blood drives her to insanity. The interesting part about this is that if she could fake such a horrific breakdown, just how much of her personality a facade? We know she wants revenge, for everyone from Cradle to feel even an ounce of the pain she and so many others went through, but we don’t get to see the extent of how much she feels this way. We never hear directly from Akane about her feelings on any of the original organizers, just her note about her desire to punish them. She hates them, but does she see their deaths as a necessary evil, or does she feel joy and satisfaction at watching them go? It’s absolutely horrifying not knowing, not being able to see her true feelings, not knowing just how real or fake she is, the extent of her madness. Perhaps she doesn’t even know that herself

IN OTHER WORDS, it’s fucked

#zero escape #akane kurashiki #the truth lies somewhere in the middle im sure #but god both possibilities are so tasty #personally i think her reaction is fake to an extent like i think she does feel at least some joy over the murders #shes doing a good deed and ridding the world of evil #but i think that this is a rare moment where she actually thinks for a minute about what shes done and how its fucked #like shes never truly present in the moment she can never fully grasp the severity of the trauma #and i kinda want to believe that this route is a bit unexpected for her #like she had to have known it was a possibility but its entire existence relies on junpei betraying the others #and i think that she was ready to write it off as a rare possibility so she didnt worry about it too much #because the only thing holding junpei back from choosing door 3 is aoi saying that picking it would require leaving people to die #and akane has nothing but her trust that junpei is good and wouldnt do something so horrible to rely on #but then it happens and she cant handle the uncertainty she wasnt ready for ANY of this to happen #not only did junpei betray the others he betrayed HER in so many ways he doesnt realize #he did what he thought was good for june but its exactly the opposite hes not only damned her #but he trapped her in a room with the disgusting corpse that she put there and everything throws her off #and she has to confront that even junpei is unpredictable and is capable of evil and that she herself has fucked up so much #she cant escape this without literally STEPPING INTO the entrails of someone she killed #and its all just too much and she completely loses it #so yeah for me its less a mental breakdown cuz she feels bad for murder #but more a breakdown because shes been betrayed and caught off guard and has a brief realization of how terrifying her actions are #those may sound the same but they arent please guys please :( #as you can see im very normal about this and good god 999 is so fucking good

being a star wars fan is like. this is brilliant. this is hot garbage. this must be consumed critically. this is just fun cowboy wizard times in space. I want to throw George Lucas and Dave Filoni into the sun for their creative and artistic decisions. I want to thank George Lucas and Dave Filoni for making the best of star wars. there’s too much star wars it’s overwhelming. there’s too little star wars I need more. these other fans are horrible and I am not associated with them. these other fans are amazing and I would kill for them. I hate star wars. I love star wars. Fuck Disney

#ra speaks #personal #star wars #don’t lock me in a room w george or Dave unless you have body bags ready. maybe one for me. #they made their creative decisions I wouldn’t trust anyone else with the series but some of those creative decisions make me wanna bite em #NO!

it’s chapter eleven: to riverdale and back (riverdale 1x11) and jughead’s lost another family. and this time. this time it’s too much.

we’re only given breadcrumbs. puzzle pieces about jughead’s life pre-series. but it’s enough to draw a map. to assemble a narrative. 

forsythe pendleton "jughead" jones III. a normal kid with a normal life. that is, until something happens. tho it’s unclear, exactly, what that was. FP hints at a medical emergency when he’s talking to archie in chapter seven: in a lonely place (riverdale 1x07). fred, he just had you and your mom to provide for, I had jughead and jellybean and their mom and hospital bills. so FP starting taking odd jobs for the southside serpents. which led to stealing from his and fred’s company. to selling materials on the side. to getting caught.

and after one too many second chances fred fired him.

that’s when FP falls off the wagon. implying his sobriety wasn’t a new issue. that he’d likely been struggling with it for years. and this was just the final straw. that unravels their whole world. he keeps promising that he's gonna get his act together, but my mom couldn't take that rollercoaster anymore, so she grabbed jellybean and went to live with our grandparents. 

and jughead stays behind. and I think it’s because, even tho FP might not understand jughead, he appreciates him. glows with praise. because jughead’s not “normal.” in case you haven't noticed, I'm weird. I'm a weirdo. I don't fit in, and I don't want to fit in. 

but to FP? that’s the best thing jughead could be. his lack of interest in football or sports is meant as a compliment. I'd rather see you spending your time writing, thinking up stories. you still do that? nose in a book? typing away?

but also. if I were to speculate. jughead’s the one who got sick. the origin of all those hospital bills. he’s weird because maybe he missed a lot of his childhood. only had books and his family. 

a family that’s now gone. a family’s that woes maybe started with him. and so he shoulders all that guilt. all that responsibility. by staying in riverdale. by staying steadfast and loyal to his dad. 

if that’s the case we can assume he lived with his dad in the trailor for a while. but at some point, even he couldn’t take it. and what probably started as crashing at the drive-in became living at the drive-in. until FP’s hired to put it out of business. I'm sorry, but the twilight drive-in? it's a blight that's become a cesspool, and a hangout for criminals...and transients. turn it into a den of drug dealers and petty thieves. decrease it’s value. just so hiram lodge can buy it up.

even tho FP knows that’s where jughead has been living. 

and yet? and yet, jughead still trusts his father. still loves him unconditionally. sticks up for him and believes in him. even as it breaks his heart.

which is how jughead ends up in a forgotten closet under a well-trod staircase at the high school. showering in the locker rooms. with his books for english class, his two outfits, and some cans of food. and the mice. and the spiders.

because jughead might say his novel is the story of jason blossom’s murder. but he’s lying. and mostly to himself. it’s not actually about jason. it’s not about riverdale either. it’s about a boy, on the outside, looking in. trying to figure out where he fits. if he has a home. or a family. 

and then. all of a sudden. he does. 

archie repairs their friendship. he gets a girlfriend. a new friend. fred invites him to stay. his dad promises to clean up his act. his dad does clean up his act.

which is why jughead’s so blantantly excited about his dad meeting betty’s family. the social experiment of it all. the coopers in their big house and their perfect lives. it’s everything jughead thinks he wants. should want. was he doing everything he was supposed to do, everything he wanted. I mean, did he even know what that was?

because remember. the jones’ might come from the southside, but they used to have a home, too. maybe not as nice as the coopers’ or the andrews’--but it was more than the trailor park. in chapter two: a touch of evil (riverdale 1x02) fred drops another breadcrumb to jughead’s past in his admonishment of archie. son, I've been hearing you sneak out since you were eight years old going to jughead's tree house. a treehouse implies a backyard. a house. 

jughead wants that all back. it’s the story no one was gonna tell. or even know how to tell. his own adventure down the mississippi river. his own metamorphosis. that he manifested over milkshakes in a booth at pop’s.

and the thing is. it’s even better than he imagined. good enough than when FP suggests they move to toledo. get the whole family back together. jughead chooses riverdale. and his new little family. 

that is. until the lies. 

because what makes a place feel like home? is it warmth and familiarity? some idealized, make-believe version of the american dream? is it love and acceptance? or is it simple safety? jughead says no. it’s none of those things. 

because jughead’s told us his greatest fear. of being rejected for being himself. of being forgotten. it’s a novel to last the ages. it’s a newspaper editorial. it’s jughead wuz here (with a crown) grafittied on the wall of the drive-in.

and when his friends go behind his back. when they cut him out--even if it’s to protect him--all of his worst fears come true. 

he’s on the outside looking in. again. 

without a family. again.

only this time it’s worse. because FP’s been arrested for the murder of jason blossom. jughead’s more alone than he’s ever been.

#riverdale #jughead jones iii #the timeline of it all was bugging me #all the whys surrounding jughead's homelessness #like HOW LONG was this kid living in that drive-in? #the implication is YEARS #anyhow I started gathering up all my little evidence and the hospital bills line just #GLARING NEON LIGHTS #the only reason I can think that jughead stays in riverdale is that he feels like it's all his fault #he gets sick - dad takes odd jobs - dad gets arrested - dad gets fired - dad falls off wagon - they lose the house - mom takes jb and leave #it also explains jughead's unconditional loyalty #even when FP constantly lets him down #ugh I am in my feels about this #writing in the ready room

okay so like. kris 100% said “do it”. right? or something to that effect

#deltarune #spamton sweepstakes #this is about the 'new girl' webpage #which is just susie bullying kris #like. thats probably what made her stop. someone who was so willing to be picked on they were treating it like a joke #the picture being painted of kris rn from these webpages is one of quiet desperation. someone who is burdened with an impossible weight #also susie is still known as the 'new girl' which confirms her recency to hometown #im saying she either got there the year prior or just at the start of school that year #once again its not rlly specified but. judging by how noelle writes she is definitely older. probably present day age #meaning susie being new is not. old. hgrbjgbrghj #anyways! it wouldnt be surprising to me if kris said something like that #something to provoke her. bc they want to disappear #im sure they feel a lot of guilt and sadness surmounting #(plus theyre being controlled by a strange force. if my theory is correct) #so theyd like for someone like susie to just. end it for them #and Thats what makes her stop. bc she recognizes that. she recognizes the taunt #and she wont stoop to that level. hence why she almost never gives kris room to talk ever again #but continues to bully them #it almsot makes u wonder....why she hated them so much? and why she was so ready to be friends w them after everything? #did she recognize something in them that made her act that way? maybe a falsely-assued naivety that susie wanted to stomp out #similarly to how she lashes out at lancer in chapter 1 #bc to her (at that point) the world is cruel and dark and the only way u get out of it is through violence #or maybe she was intrigued by them? why they never said anything but everyone knew their name #and shes just so socially awkward that the only way she could think of getting their attention is by bullying them? #or. is she jealous of them #jealous that they can slide through life without resistance. that they can sleep through class without getting thrown out #and can pass w decent grades despite never lifting a pencil in class #and how they have a mother who hugs them every day and leads them in and out of school like a mother duck herds her ducklings #and how all the kids in class know their name and say hi despite them never answering #maybe shes jealous bc all shes ever gotten are frightened stares and discipline and neglect. and so it makes her kind of hate them

Tango sketches!

Few days ago I've got an idea for a fic with the general theme of how important mites are for Tango in the Infinity Room and this inspired me to draw. Because of that all of the sketches are with mites. Also in the third sketch he misses a face (I got too frustrated with how my attemts to draw heads with faces ruined the sketch) - I haven't tagged that, so just be aware.

Also have this attempt to make a cleaner version of the last sketch with the mouse. I'll probably leave other sketches without cleaner versions, it took me way too long to draw this one with the mouse. And yes, no glitches and hidden additional pairs of big mite legs on the back because of that reason.

I know I've failed hands miserably and I still don't get how to draw faces without betting on luck. I've tried my best though :)

#hermitcraft #infinity room au #infinity room tango #tw bugs #speaking of that fic idea - starting from today I have 3 of them with plot ready in my head #they just wait to be written #probably will write one before the end of hiatus

been taking some time off from writing* and just letting the katc playlists play in the background while i'm engaging in other hobbies and i gotta say. between that and the improving weather. i'm feeling so much better and actually getting excited to write again

#*voluntarily and uh...still reworking outlines but taking it easy y'know? #i still need a little bit more time before i crack into ch 7 #but i don't dread looking at that document anymore y'know? #will probably try to get back into writing sprints within the next few weeks #i miss syb is the thing #but i did desperately need a break after pushing myself (and failing) to write #trying to not feel guilty about prolonged periods of inactivity and accept that sometimes the well of creativity needs to replenish itself #whining wombat #anyway. stay tuned this week for some bookbinding posting because my craft room is clean an ready for action
