#short story to screen
Text
proper reupload in the high quality this fantastic segment so deserves; eagle pig and duck bias notwithstanding, this will forever be my favorite variant of the fabled switcheroo (and a reminder that Daffy was first at his own game!) the committal on behalf of both characters--especially the sincerity of Daffy's feigned sincerity--really sets it apart
#that delivery of “don't you believe i'm a fish?” sounds so hurt and it's perfect#likewise i think there are few one-liners/toppers that make me laugh as much as 'i told ya i was a pig'#and that all knowing glance at the audience from Daffy doesn't feel obnoxiously smarmy or self aware#there's a friendly nonchalance to it. a very clear amusement and not in a way that undermines anything this segment is setting out to achie#again. my favorite buzzword: that sincerity! a sincere investment and amusement in watching Porky obliviously and endearingly make an ass#out of himself#and of course the cross dissolve and setup of the composition implying a story/sequence of events taking place within that time...#this short isn't my favorite P+D short--i still LOVE IT A TON but there are so many i revere--but i think it's one of the most definitive#if someone was looking to get a good understanding on their character dynamic this would be one of my immediate recommendations#i haven't had the bandwidth to spread my pig and duck gospel but please#watch Porky and Daffy cartoons#tangential but i've always loved the sound effect Treg Brown uses for Porky dropping the gun#good exaggeration/whimsy while also connoting Porky's stubbornness and that this stupid petty argument is enough for him to lose sight of#his motives and discard his murder weapon. all because of this joyously stupid argument. so i like the self awareness there with how obtuse#the sound effects are#because anyone who is not Porky Pig would have just shot him point blank#and that is everything i love about their dynamic and how Daffy's intoxicating charisma and ability to get people invested even affects the#very characters on screen#gee d'you think i ought to have said more about this scene#lt#duck soup to nuts#freleng#vid

I will always believe that Jack Marston goes on to live a good life after rdr1 ( I have to for my own sanity lmao ), but it breaks my heart that his family-- especially Abigail-- won't get to see that.
I just imagine how Abigail had to watch him slowly deteriorate after John's death. She had to watch her smart, sensitive boy who loved to read become so broken and vengeful and angry, and there was nothing she could do to stop it.
And then she died, not knowing if he'd ever manage to break out of it and fearing what he would become/what would happen to him if he didn't.
#i've been toying with the idea of writing a short story about Jack and Abigail from 1911-1914#'cause I have too many thoughts about these two#and i hate how Abigail just died off-screen with no explanation#rdr2#rdr1#red dead redemption#jack marston#adult jack marston#abigail marston#abigail roberts

White winter and red bed sheets.
Droplets of blood stained the white snow.
Hero held tight to her side, aiming only to keep breathing.
In.
Out.
In.
She was going to die, she was going to die right in the middle of the downtown plaza.
Everyone was already cold, for the weather was hostile and the holidays were quickly approaching, preparations were to be made, decorations were to be hung and all those people who frequented the surroundings from the colleges and the clubs had already gone home.
Someone would find her the next day, she thought, hoped at least, in the inauguration of the winter festivities of the state. Quite a sight to start with, she laughed at herself, feeling the sting it brought to her ribs.
At least her parents would know what happened to her.
So, Hero let her head fall to the snow, hands brought up close to her chest, the cold was starting to numb her limbs, perhaps soon it would numb the pain as well.
She fell asleep, though unconscious was a better term, she reasoned when her sight grew blurry.
Music was certainly an unexpected thing to wake up to, the scent of cinnamon in the air and the softness she laid over just as much.
Waking up was in itself very much unexpected.
Perhaps, she thought, it was the moment where she opened her eyes and her grandpa would be there to greet her, perhaps she had done well enough in life to deserve such a gift.
And Hero wandered on that thought for a moment.
A warm hand rested on her forehead. And those fingers were slim, they were graceful and surely not as wrinkled and calluses as her grandfather's. So Hero opened her eyes.
"Good morning, pretty thing."
Villain.
Hero tried to sit, movements hurried, and head spinning. Villain placed a hand on her shoulder, pushing her slowly back to lay against the pillow.
"No, love, you need to stay down," said Villain in response. "you're lucky you're alive, we're trying to keep it that way."
Villain spoke as if underwater, slurry, muted, Hero could barely discern some of the words she made.
She asked for the other to repeat herself. Villain chuckled.
"I can't understand a thing you're saying, love," Villain said "maybe it's better if you go back to sleep."
Tears gathered in Hero’s eyes, she could barely see what was before, though the shape of the shadow, the voice and the touch gave it away immediately, less even could she articulate what she wished to say to such a person, wished to ask, to beg if it came to be.
A few aborted tries later, leaving Villain to ask once and again what was wrong, if something hurt even though all the pain killers, if she needed, wanted something else before taking her own leave.
Hero cleared her throat as well as she could, and spoke.
“Don’t…don’t do it,” she said, asked, prayed to the other, grabbing the hand that rested on her cheek.
Villain’s eyes softened at the request, she grabbed back Hero’s hand, holding it between two hands, close to her.
“I warned you what would happen if they ever returned you to me like this again.”
Hero shook her head slowly, trying not to make herself vomit, and held tighter.
“What can I do?” came broken, slurry from Hero.
Villain kissed her hand “To prevent it? Nothing, love. But you can lay back and rest, you’re way too high in painkillers to do anything else, if you do as I say and are good to the people taking care of you, I’ll get you a souvenir.”
“Please, Villain, please,” Hero begged then, letting go of her hand and grabbing onto her clothes, lifting herself from the bed.
The other sighed, grabbing onto her firmly, but gently, mindful enough of her state.
“Come here, hold on to me.”
Villain laid down on the bed beside Hero on the bed, letting herself fall against the pillows and feeling Hero lay all her weight on top, keeping her as upright as possible, not letting her fall on her side.
Soft hands drew circles on her back, slowly, travelling from time to time to her hair, to delineate the shape of her brows and the bridge of her nose. No anger nor frustration did Villain allow to slip through her at that moment, Hero did not need that on top of everything else.
So she was gentle, and she was comprehensive, she was as soft and patient as Hero needed, and eventually, through the exhaustion and the painkillers, Hero did fall asleep, held tight by the other.
Then was moment, she decided as she locked the door to her room from the outside, she would need a few favours, of course, nothing not worth fulfilling her promise, she was a woman of her word after all, and if she had promised to burn down the capitol the next time they returned Hero to her such as they had, she had to follow up her promise to the city.

Does anyone else have a book wishlist that's just a single book? Like you know how to get the rest so they're not really *wishes* so much as just eventual things?
Like it might be available but insanely expensive, or the edition you want is missing, or it's a lost media moment you're certain is real.
#i do#mines by#seanan mcguire#cause it was a collectors edition#and signed and everything#and i /could/ get an ebook#but its not the same as a physical copy#and i have trouble reading on a screen for a long time#so its just a moment#idk maybe its just me#queer books#wishlist#short story collection#booksbooksbooks

why the fuck did i write about birds this fucking sucks. i just found out birds only sleep for a few minutes at a time, hundreds of times a day. do you know what this is going to do to my structure? the logistics of their road trip? this is already like three days late and i've been fighting for my life to get A Plot Like Any Plot That Makes Sense out and now the birds fucking sleep for 5 minutes at a time.
#i should've just bailed and written another story when i had the chance#i'm not joking i've never fought a fiction piece this hard before. usually because i'm not writing for specific deadlines#and not a piece so big. and not one that's gonna be workshopped. i wanna blow them away but if things keep going the way they are everyone'#gonna tell me the pacing sucks and it feels pointless and the characters feel really confused. I KNOW. I KNOW THAT. FUCKK#i'm the type to do about 15 passes before i let someone see my 'first draft' and i'm just not gonna be able to do that if i want to get it#in time for a workshop. every day i delay is making things harder for my classmates y'know?? but i've been writing like 1k words a day#and it's still not done. GUHH#I DON'T LIKE WRITING THESE CHARACTERS THAT MUCH THEY'RE NOT FUNNY OR ENDEARING AND THAT'S MY LIKE.#MAIN SKILL AND VIBE WITH SHORT STORY DUOS. BUT NOOOO I HAD TO MAKE THEM DIFFERENT CUZ I WAS SICK OF DOING#THE SAME DYNAMIC OVER AND OVER. BITCH THIS IS YOUR FINAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TRIED AND TRUE GETS THE BLUE (RIBBON)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#head in my hands head in my hands head in my hands head in my hands head#going to work on it some more. fuckk#the voices aren't consistent and i'm trying to make it clear that this is toxic bird yuri and not a mother/daughter thing but the maternal#themes are kind of fucking with that but they're important and i don't wanna get rid of them but it feels forced cuz im forcing it#sigh. i'm gonna have to cut the yuri. these two don't work romantically at all. what a waste of time.#i watched the entirety of mnthly girls' nozaki-kun in the past two days while avoiding writing. did you know that? the lengths to which i'l#go? anyway it was fun i appreciate fellow creative agony and i uh never knew how they did screen tones and wasn't expecting that somehow#so i learned something new (hooray). anyway back to. fucking. bird story stuff#i'm so mad i hate these two (<- lying. just pissy) i hate this story (<- mostly exaggerating. throwing a tantrum)#eughhhhhh i just wanna lie on the floor and cryyyyyyyyyy (<- completely deadpan irl. not That upset just kind of sick of shit)#i'm so burnt out and it's only gonna get worse. ughh#why can't someone just come in and write it for meeeeeeeeeeheheuhhh (<- would hate that)

Lot your art! Was wondering what's your favourite Stephanie Brown single issue or arc?
Thank you! It is so hard to chose a favourite arc/issue. For context, I’ve read most of her appearances 2015ish-now, and those in the 90s. Aside from her solo series, I have read much in the 2000s.
Runner ups that immediately come to mind are her debut arc; the middle portion of James Tynion Iv’s Detective Comics run when she sets out on her own (following Tim’s “death”) so like detective comics #946 onwards; the first Batgirls arc but especially issues 5 & 6; Batman Inc. Leviathan Strikes #1 where she, as Batgirl, was at that assassin boarding school thing; Robin/Spoiler Special (that’s where my header is from!); oh and obviously her Gotham Underground return (invisibility device!!).
However, if I had to choose one favourite, it would have to be Spoiler/Huntress: Blunt Trauma (1998). I revisit it a lot. It tackles so many different aspects of her character and where she was at that point. Her and Helena make a really interesting pair. I just think she’s so cool!
#plus her and huntress both wear purple!#their rebirth very short hang out was my Lock Screen for a while#I really like her cameos in other stories too like in task force Z and Joker the man who stopped laughing#those are up there as some of my absolute favourite appearances#but they’re not centered on her so I’m not gonna include theme here#but yeah#that’s my thoughts!#ask#my rambles#stephanie brown#comic recommendations

them having you chill on the side is how they lure you in with a false sense of hope of "it's really not that bad!~" DON'T FALL FOR IT--
but deadass i remember it was like that the first day i was a carhop at sonic, thought it wasn't too bad. literally the next day i had over a 100 separate orders i took out. i worked there for 2 weeks then gave a 2 weeks cause i was too scared to just quite outright LMAO (was my first job at 17)
best of luck to you, and am sending all the good vibes that you get a better opportunity elsewhere!!! 💛🏵
EXACTLY and I fuckin KNOW they’re making it look easier. I’m not quick enough yet to handle a line of people and that’s fine but they haven’t trained me for it yet
The funniest thing is is that so many people quit ALL at he time there and people would keep saying those people who quit were just too lazy and the workload was too hard and blah blah blah
It’s NOT. The “workload” is running around in the same open room or to the kitchen unless you spend your time in the cooler. The main managers just an ass and I have the strongest feeling she’s run out people by being an asshole to them because the second I saw the way she handled me accidentally letting a dude walk out without paying, I knew there and then that I wasn’t gonna be working there long be it that she fired me for the stupidest gd reason or I quit
#btw here’s the story about that#dude walked out with $12.20 worth of stuff and I didn’t notice til I rung up cigarettes for another guy which added#onto previous guys total right#so there’s already my drawer being short for the day AND manager had to fix 2 separate transactions#she was so snarky and bitchy the whole time she was handling it but I must emphasize that SHE handled it#I just initialed a couple receipts or whatever#second guy gets his cigs and goes but she’s gotta ring em up to make a full transaction#for a reason I still don’t know#she’s handled the WHOLE thing so far#then turns to me when the screens got the DOB thing you fill in for cigs/alcohol#and in the most condescending tone goes ‘okay. enter your birth date’#that alone didn’t sit right with me and I snapped right back at her#bc A. I ain’t old enough to buy cigs anyways and my DOB is invalid so idk what she expected#and B. I wouldn’t have put it in anyways#she RELUCTANTLY puts in her birth date n whatnot#and alls well after#but that shit is WEIRD like I know it was my fault but that was really fuckin odd for my 4th day on the job

The end sequence of the marble nest always makes me feel a weird amount of secondhand embarrassment. It’s the same feeling I get if I imagine being at my own funeral like aha nooo don’t make me grapple with the idea that after my death my identity will be reduced to a static amalgamation of the impressions I left on other people which was merely a shell of my rich internal life...
#sorry having an unusual amount of existential thoughts today#working on a big marble nest post atm but im gonna be real i have no idea what like any of the ending screen texts mean#if anything#i love marble nest tho it feels like one of those fucked up short stories you remember years later#pathologic

Me: Alright, now to queue up the last 22 incorrect quotes for this month
My brain: How about no
Me: What do you mean?? We've already done 40 or so. 22 is a breeze, we'll be done in no time
My brain: No, not happening
Me: ......Please?
My brain: Why though
Me: It's important??
My brain: No it's not, try again
#not skeleton stuff#rambles#screeching into the void rn#gdi brain. stop being dramatic and let me do my thing#why is this happening#long story short: I'm stuck now#even with taking breaks my brain is still blue screening and refusing to let me be productive

LMAO so funny thing is everyone knows the whole Sonic and Shadow looking alike thing is total bullshit and I totally agree those comments they try to pull in the games and show(s? I'm not technically a Sonic fan I dunno if it's multiple) make basically no sense to me but then my Mom comes in while watching Sonic Prime and says "So what, Sonic has a brother or something?" and this whole other world has opened up to me and I've seen the truth of it all
#so to clarify I do not consider myself a Sonic fan since I have never played a Sonic game and I've never read any of the comics#and idk the lore cuz I've never really bothered to watch other people play it and I have watched some of the shows#y'know my grandma had 4Kids so sometimes I would catch Sonic X on TV#but literally most of my knowledge of the Sonic franchise is just having people talk to me about it#like when I was a kid my grandma babysat these kids who were older than me I forget how old I was like under 10 I think#and one of the kid's big interest was Sonic so I would just sit and listen to him talk about Sonic the entire time I was there#he would play the games too I think but my brain didn't process any of that so I have no actual memory of the screen#I would mostly just pay attention to him talking cuz he would talk about it while playing it was great#so that is the base of my knowledge and then after my grandma stopped babysitting them it was radio silence#until y'know people would occasionally bring stuff up in videos I'd watch and I'd look @ videos about people talking abt Sonic#occasionally and see like memes or YTPs of Sonic or y'know abridged stuff#but I literally never actually watched a Sonic game until Frontiers came out and then The Murder Of Sonic the Hedgehog#and Sonic Prime is the first Sonic show I properly sat down and watched which show is great btw I enjoy it a lot#but yeah and it was vaguely purposeful like I was keeping myself away cuz I know how I am about stuff and I WILL try to learn EVERYTHING#if I get too interested in Sonic as a franchise#oh I did play Unleashed sometime after it first came out and couldn't get past like the first fuckin level but tbf I was like 7 years old#possibly 8 years old cuz I'm not 100% sure how much later I got the game but like I was really bad @ any game that wasn't just like#spamming buttons since I grew up on fighting games lmao#but yeah I dropped the game almost immediated I do not count that for anything#but yeah long story short: all my knowledge is second hand like I still think I know a good amount for what it's worth but#I wouldn't trust my own knowledge

Cerys "Baby Carrot" Surana
#oc: cerys surana#i felt like sharing a bunch of screenshots of her#my friend's oc inquisitor (Flyn Lavellan) gave her the nickname Baby Carrot 💖#i just...have a lot of feelings right now#i'm playing inquisition again to get rid of and sort The Big Sad and other emotions...it's kinda working#these are from her first make to her current make#she progressively got more and more freckles - peachier - and “fleek-er” eyebrows lol#unfortunately she's supposed to be a bigger girl but DA is notorious for not letting us customize bodies as such...#she's also a SHORT queen even for an elf lol#unfortunately that led to a derogatory moniker for her that of being called “the dwarf with pointed ears” in The Circle#and she's struggled with magic control all her life so she's also called “Cerys the Careless” or just “Careless” :T#“Cerys” and “Careless” sounding similar so...yeah. Sad girl.#threatened with tranquility and death a lot as well but Irving kept her protected for the most part#i should make her in origins and actually play her story there too but...y'know lol#she had short hair in Origins/Awakening :3#hm. i think i just convinced myself to make her there and play that too again lol prolly share screens there too#dragon age#dragon age origins#dragon age inquisition#warden surana#grey warden#hero of ferelden#dragon age elf#dragon age mage#elven mage#redhead#ginger#freckles#original character#oc

I'll be honest, i was a bit sad with how weakly they pushed tome's frustration in the latest episode + the connection that her and takenaka formed. i wish they had emphasized that more instead of them spending time with the aliens, because i feel like that was the more important part/real intended purpose of the arc? since tome literally feels disconnected from all of her friends and feels that nobody really understands her, but takenaka does. he does understand. and he wants her to see that by doing something actually genuine for her sake instead of putting up a front like so many people around him do. and the sad part about all this is that they didn't even get a full ten minutes to explore that. like guys did u forget there was a whole new character u had to introduce and give an emotional arc for, as well as satisfyingly tie it together with tome's? idk. i just feel like it did a disservice to her with what was focused on
#mp100#i get the intent of trying to tell an overall concise story within the short amount of time they get#but i feel that they used their time unwisely this episode#certainly they could have removed the weird shit with inukawa and just focused on the fun parts of that segment#but like idk. tome is the one female character that actually gets on screen development#and it felt like they didn't give it the attention to detail that ONE gave#mine
