I think being sick and delirious does something good for my creativity at least.
I had some thoughts on two of my favourite things, fallout (specifically Danse) and Dishonored (which has his VA in it) as some kind of brain smash AU because who both are *kinda shady organizations of secluded cultists who in real life you wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole but in fiction are kinda interesting? And their uniform kinda slaps?* The brotherhood and the overseers.
Overseer Danse would be pretty fun to try to draw, and he'd absolutely name his rathound Righteous Authority like his BoS Lazer rifle, because he is still just that much of a dork.
Maybe I'll write a little something for this who knows? I sure don't

They Do Not Exist (1974) by Mustafa Abu Ali (watch)
from PalestineCinema.com:
Salvaged from the ruins of Beirut after 1982, Abu Ali's early film has only recently been made available. Shooting under extraordinary conditions, the director, who worked with Godard on his Ici et Ailleurs (Here and Elsewhere), and founded the PLO's film division, covers conditions in Lebanon's refugee camps, the effects of Israeli bombardments, and the lives of guerrillas in training camps. They Do Not Exist is a stylistically unique work which demonstrates the intersection between the political and the aesthetic. Now recognised as a cornerstone in the development of Palestinian cinema, the film only received its Palestine premiere in 2003, when a group of Palestinian artists "smuggled" the director to a makeshift cinema in his hometown of Jerusalem (into which Israel bars his entry).
Abu Ali, who saw his film for the first time in 20 years at this clandestine event noted: "We used to say 'Art for the Struggle', now it's 'Struggle for the Art'"
