step 1: conceptualize fic

step 2: plot out intricate details of fic

step 3: avoid actually writing fic

step 4: eventually get bored of fic and abandon it for a new project

step 5: repeat.

Spoilers for episode 6 below!

I think my favorite things about episode 6 of MAWS is the fact that Jimmy didn't figure out that Clark was Superman. No no, Jimmy got a roommate freshman year of college who ripped door handles off and moved faster than the speed of sound and could fly, and correctly came to the logical conclusion that his roommate is an alien. And when, four years later, his alien roommate started flying around in a cape and saving people, was like "Oh neat Clark's got a side job."

the things i would do to bring all these babies back to their parents . i would give anything in my life for them to have their babies safe in their arms again

One thing that never fails to bring down my mood while playing re2r is having to walk past this banner:

They were all so excited for him to start. Leon was so young and he graduated from the police academy with flying colors, they were probably jumping in their boots to have such young and eager talent join the force. I bet they had stupid little party hats with streamers and cupcakes, ready to welcome him with open arms. They took the time to string up a banner along with little stars and other decorations. They even planned out a little activity for him. And when shit hit the fan, the lieutenant of Leon's chain of command went out of his to tell the rookie of their team to stay away, knowing if he had reported on time on his first day he would've perished with the rest of RPD. There was an effort made to ensure the baby of their team stayed out of harms way. I know they all would've loved and protected him at all costs.

And hopefully they're all resting with ease, especially Marvin, knowing their young rookie made it out the city in one piece.

Bless her soul she is doing her best

theres so many people i know who want to start t but say they can’t do needles and while i respect that. you will likely still have to get fairly regular bloodwork, so theres no way to avoid it completly

Trias Politica and Doctor Who

in the English speaking world, i believe trias politica is usually called separation of powers

The absolute basics of the theory of the trias politica is essentially: it's not good when 1 guy does everything, it should be different guys who hold the power to make laws, the power to enact laws and the judicial power (so like, to interpret laws?)

A large part of the 10th Doctor's arc was going from "THE LAWS OF TIME ARE MINE AND I DECIDE THEM" to, like, "they're not actually"

A large part of the 12th Doctor's arc was grappling with his Identity as a general, who fashions people into weapons and commands them, you can see this especially well in the interactions with Danny Pink, but it also starts being a theme during 11, and continues after Danny dies, in my opinion. But he too finds a way to leave it behind him, starts being a madman in a box (again)

And then 14 now. as these posts by @sarahwatchesthings and @rearranging-deck-chairs have described, the Doctor has always been like how he was during that scene where he put on the Judge's wig and cited intergalactic law

First the Doctor is sort of explicitly a law-maker. Then that is deconstructed and refuted

Then he's rather explicitly a general, and a president too even (though the presidency is mostly silly), which i'm choosing to represent the executive power, and he slowly learns to let that go

and now, they've made his position as a judicial power explicit with a literal wig and brief mock court.

you see where i'm going with this

i'd appreciate other people's thoughts on this meta (preferably not just. "hm don't like this", but like. nuance), especially as it's been a while since i watched 10's era, like, i wasn't even really thinking about themes when i did, and a shorter but still long amount of time since i watched 12, and i barely watched 13 at all so i cannot judge how these themes show up in 13's era

headcanon all the bots and the ais all have access to the spg social media accounts straight from their brains and dont have their own personal accounts so the spg twitter is extremely active from like 8 robots all browsing at the same time. they have to sign off with their initial/name,, sometimes you get massively long threads thats just them talking to each other on the same account from literally 4 rooms apart

i don’t want hajun to be mysterious, beautiful and elusive. i want him to see his messy, fractured moments. no more bare minimum details. i need to be acquainted with visceral details of his childhood.

give me 13 year old hajun in japan, alone and confused and still convinced that this whole thing is a ruse and his parents will come get him eventually. i need 14 year old hajun still clinging onto the hope that if he’s good enough and proves himself his parents will take him back. i want 15 year old hajun disabused of all his faith in his parents and realising home is nowhere now, and he is fundamentally unwantable unless he learns to wear the right masks and say the right things. little hajun who had to figure everything out by himself, while knowing his existence made no difference to his parents back home anyway. now it’s his life and the only person to whom it matters is himself.

i wonder if he had a phase where his anger was just like dongha’s — wet, guttural, thrashing, amorphous. when exactly did it take shape into the cold, sharp thing it is today? i want him slowly getting sick of breaking his own heart with his own wanting. i want him meeting allen and experiencing the terror of caring for someone for the first time. i want him falling back on the “vengeance on my parents” narrative because he can’t admit to himself that allen and anne appeared in his life at a time when his walls weren’t fully up yet and now they’re here to stay after he’s so carefully built himself up to avoid abandonment by avoiding intimacy altogether. i want to see him growing up and retreating slowly further and further into himself the more he realises he won’t be able to survive losing allen and anne, i want him disgusted by his own wanting and uncomfortable with himself but so distanced from his own feelings that the only way he can process / experience anything close to it is by antagonising others to create congruent reactions within them just so he knows what it’s like to feel something.

i want him alone in his room and suddenly so crushed by emotion but incapable of identifying them because he never grew up with the tools to define his own experience. maybe that’s also why making music with bae matters to him (since their theme revolves around taking charge of your own narrative). he built himself a sense of self from scratch and still he couldn’t outgrow his childhood fear of being unwanted. yeah he’s sadistic and callous and morally dubious, but he wasn’t born that way. i am asking once again i need the visceral detail. the guts of it. but i may be crazy.

ANGST ANGST HAHAHHA
