too many zukka wips not enough willpower

#i have. so many #i have the 'zuko dies but not really' au #i have the bounty hunter au #i have the modern jasmine dragon au that i projected my econ degree onto #i STILL HAVE THE TO ALL THE BOYS I LOVED BEFORE AU #i have the zuko freedom fighter au #and the one that's been on my mind all day: the zuko azula and ursa au #THAT one would be a fucking behemoth #like i have a whole plot outline for that and im super proud of it bc it's definitely one of my more complicated plots #one of those 'things that happen in chapter 1 are relevant 20 chapters in' plots #the basic premise is that ursa takes zuko and azula with her after she kills azulon and flees #and they live on the run throughout the three nations for years and zuko and azula become pickpockets and have fake identities #it's a hoot #BUT ursa becomes very mentally ill bc all the abuse catches up to her now she's finally away from ozai #and it becomes very much zuko as the oldest having to keep the family together #and it gets VERY complicated bc it also gets quite canon compliant bc zuko ends up still hunting aang #but he's using it as a cover to reunite with azula bc he got separated and knows SHE is following the avatar #and the way zukka starts is bc zuko actively foils his own plans to capture aang bc he knows the moment he does #he has to go home and wont be able to find azula. so at one point zuko literally fucking saves sokka and sokka #is like dude what in gods name are you doing rn LMAO #but yeah azula joins the gaang before zuko even does they all wind up in ba sing se there's a rebellion it's so fun #zukka #writing ig

idk what im saying but i just think hating on a piece of media bc it's been made into a different form ( specifically book into a movie / show / play / etc ) is so limiting ... like ur not any better bc you hold the opinion that the book is better than show and picking it apart to show the differences only the proves the point that they're Two Different Pieces of Media ... interpretations aren't inherently bad they're just different

you can enjoy them both

#this is specifically about the wheel of time #i love the series dont get it twisted now i LOVE the books #i've read it twice i have like 4 copies of the first book #it's a hoot #it's also an INCREDIBLE SLOG to get thru #and that's one of the NOTABLE things about this series is that it is hard to get thru #i skipped book 10 my first go round #just the entire fucking book i skipped it #do u want an ENTIRE season of perrin going: ): it's so cold where's my girl ):#and then not dO ANYTHING for an ENTIRE sEASON ?#no u have expectations of a movie/show to entertain u and there are parts #of the novels that aren't exactly riveting and wouldn't make good tv #on top of that ... there is queer rep in the show and the issues concerning rigid gender roles is sorta flipped about iirc #as much as they could be for hollywood ig BUT THE POINT IS the story is told in another way #not the story is completely done away with or trashed #does that make it perfect?? no ... but it makes it fun #having a tv show or movie is GREAT for me to introduce someone to a series i love so then i could go #“if you liked that wait until u read the book bc it goes deeper”#bc u CAN DO THAT IN A NOVEL! NOT A SHOW!#IT'S A HIGHLIGHT REEL! AT THE MOST!#this also goes for foundation and dune .... both books i LOVE and movie/shows that i ENJOY very much #a side by side scene by scene copy from book to page would take more money it would take 400 years to produce and it would be boring #plus i personally love to see how characters are remade and how they do the cool things in the book but differently

writing sometimes means hyper-fixating on creating a family tree for hours and forgetting anything else exists. in fact most of writing is a lot like this

#tbc wip tag #anyways #tying my books together is one of my most fun pastimes #it's a hoot #and also #time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time #and i live by that #i could be wrapping gifts but #there's still time #right?#right #ANYWAYS #personal ramblings #on writing #writing #family trees #ocd #hyperfixating #can you tell im hyperfixating

If Eris and Iris celebrated Halloween how would they celebrate? Parties? Costumes? Haunted houses? Scary movies?

Ohohohoho, love this question!

I think Iris would have to 100% truly convince Eris to dress up in something even though deep down, he'd like it. But as you know, he was shamed out of all his interests so, our boy has a hard time letting himself enjoy things. SO, after that trauma dump, Iris would convince him to do couple costumes. He would complain halfheartedly the whole time but still do it.

Immediately and the first thing I thought of was that they'd go as a Devil and an Angel. Other options I know Iris would talk Eris into are: Vampires (a king and queen because Eris has to have a crown), Gomez and Morticia from the Addams Family, and one year they'd do the Incredibles family costumes and dress the dogs to match.

Parties are a MUST. They love to attend and enjoy themselves but no Haunted Houses for them because Iris is a chicken and Eris is triggered by people yelling at him noises so it's a no-go for them lol. Scary movies aren't it either but they absolutely do fun Halloween-themed movies instead!

Iris always has a big bucket of candy for the trick-or-treaters and Eris is usually sitting on their front porch with her, making dry-ass remarks under his breath about the different kid costumes as they visit and Iris had to glare daggers at him to stop 😂

Way back when I was a kid in the 80s, I ended up with this kid's book. This was a bit unusual only because by this point, I was reading adult books. This is not a bragging thing or any crap like that. I just read a lot more than I did anything else, plus I was always this weird, so instead of a library of kid's fiction, my room was stocked with books like this:

(Yes, this is an actual book. It's great, I still have it and its sequel.)

But when you're a kid in grade school, there's the school book fair, and it's that time when your parents give you actual money to buy whatever book you want. And even though you're not going to find cheesy space opera there, dammit, you're going to find SOMETHING to buy.

I bought this book about a St Bernard and his family. The book is full of the expected canine shenanigans and missteps, and the comedy of a dedicated dog doing his best for his human charges, dangit. Up to 2/3rds of the way through, when the plot screeches to the left field as the tornado hits.

I reread the crap out of that book, but at some point I decided I wasn't likely to reread it again, and we were moving, so I let it go. I promptly forgot the title and all the character names. When the movie Beethoven came out, my initial reaction was that this looked like an adaptation of that book, which didn't help my recall of the title any. (Beethoven is NOT an adaptation. It's possibly a ripoff of the general concept, but aside from them both being stories about highly intelligent St Bernards protecting their families, they have little in common.)

Cut to my adult years, and vaguely remembering this book, and wanting to reread it after all, see if my memories hold up. Except. I can't FIND the damn thing.

Couldn't remember the title at all, just that the dog's name started with a B. Searching the general plot just resulted in endless results for Beethoven. It seemed like nobody else had ever read this book.

I tried on and off, and gave up. And then I tried again recently, not expecting much. But this time I got a hit. People on Reddit were discussing not just my book, but an entire series. Armed with the title, I found the paperback cover online, and finally, I had it.

May I introduce you to Judge Benjamin, Superdog. It's LOOOONG out of print, but Ebay had a nice hardcover for under $4. And I have reread it at last, and it all came back to me. You should have made this movie, folks! Don't tell me St Bernard vs a tornado wouldn't have sold, especially post Twister.

Oddly, the tornado in the book? Real. It gives a date and everything. This 1982 book is set in 1974, and contains the actual 1974 Super Outbreak as its climax. The author notes state that she owns a St Bernard named Judge Benjamin, so I suspect the book is semi-autobiographical. Except told from the point of view of a lovable dog.

And as Reddit said, it's a series! I have acquired 3 more as of yesterday, and look forward to reading them. And the others, whenever I track them down.

#Judge Benjamin Superdog #books #forgotten literature #if you can find this read it #it's a hoot #and it has lovely illustrations like kid's chapter books used to have way back when

REMINDER TO NOT TALK TO THE GUARDIAN ABOUT DIY HRT IF ASKED ❗️❗️❗️

Susanna Rustin is a huge TERF too, and a quick search of her name on The Guardian brings up repeated proof.

so, ultrakill's violence layer is unbelievably cool. like, i was not prepared for any level of it. but on top of obscenely awesome gameplay and setpieces, it also delivers some REALLY juicy lore, especially about the war that we've been hearing about for so long.

and it's just occurred to me that one figure of time given in a lore entry has revealed so much more context surrounding it than i could ever dream of.

in a terminal entry that i won't be specific about to avoid spoilers, it's stated that the war lasted roughly 200 years. this would be useless if we didn't know when the war ended...

but we do.

in the opening of the game, we see this.

i've always assumed this was the current date, but i only now realize that it's not. it's the last time V1's firmware got an update, which would have to be during the war, since the V1 project was scrapped when it ended. and since we know V1 was made around the end of the war, we can assume the war ended around 2112. 200 years earlier would be somewhere around the 1910s.

all of this makes it extremely likely that this isn't just some fictional war. it's World War 1. this is a world where WW2 never happened, because WW1 never ended. it kept going and going and building and getting more and more horrific until eventually literally becoming the war to end all wars.

this also recontextualizes machines being fueled by blood, as its now clear that the invention of the machines happened in the middle of the war, and its likely that battle was their sole purpose. it always seemed weird to me before, but i had always assumed that machines existed before the war broke out. if their goal has always been to kill, it seems reasonable that the killing should be able to fuel them. only makes it more horrific, though.
