@kaijuscientists I totally feel this but a few of my tricks:

Keep a list of silly phrases you come across. One of the expressions I've used that I'm particularly fond of was "Toodaloo, Kangaroo!" which is something my coworker regularly says to kids as they leave the library, and that's also prompted me to look up other goodbye rhymes and use those in fic too. Another coworker has a delightful habit of occasionally saying weird things that may or may not be real idioms, and I write those down. I've had two different fics that drew some degree of inspiration from the punny titles of cozy mystery novels. I've made notes of Wheel of Fortune puzzles. I have a draft that incorporates something my mom's been saying my whole life. Tedisms can come from anywhere.

Google is your friend. If you're going for one of his things where he ends a sentence with a rhyming celebrity name, you can look up celebrities. There are also lots of rhyming dictionaries and pun generators and lists of pet names out there and a lot of what they come up with is just not remotely helpful but it might still help spark something. And https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/ has been good to me a few times.

Don't overthink it. Some of his jokes and anecdotes are pretty involved, sure (although in those cases you can sometimes get away with just spitting out whatever pops into your head whether it makes sense or not and then have another character go "what the hell are you talking about" which I kind of have to imagine is what happened to the show writers with the gay Superbowl analogy), but it's fine to go simple. The bracketed example from the post you reblogged was blank for literally three years before I landed on "Leaping lizards!"

If you have him start saying something and don't know where he would go with it, see if it might be a moment where you could trail off and transition to a different scene, which is what ended up happening with one of the other examples from that post.

Know your strengths. My Ted Lasso fanfiction has very few pop culture references because they're just not really on my radar, or at least not things that would be in character for him to have on his radar, and I don't want to force it.

Sometimes I fit a Tedism into a sentence, and sometimes I construct a sentence (or even a situation) around a Tedism.

Rewatch the show (or clips from it) to get a sense of his voice and patterns of speaking. When you write something, read it (maybe even out loud!) and ask yourself if it sounds like something he would say.

Balance. Not every single bit of Ted dialogue has to have a rhyme or joke or reference. The goofiness is definitely an important part of who he is, so too little can mark that there's something wrong with him. (In my last fic, there's a section in Kansas when I deliberately used almost none of this kind of wordplay, to indicate that he wasn't quite himself.) But it's also something he can use as a way of deflecting genuine feeling, so too much can also come across as a red flag. He should be able to talk like a regular person instead of a cartoon character sometimes. There's definitely a learning curve!

fic recs from bookworm's bookmarks

@trigunfanfic

i wanted to do more for trigun fic appreciation week, but uh... life happened. a lot. so here's some recs from my bookmarks!

as a happy accident of my waxing and waning fic-reading habits, a lot of these fics are from a while ago, months or years old, so hopefully this spreads some love further back in the tag!

Ebb by auroralightss - tristamp, wolfwood-centric. post-episode 7 hurt/comfort that feels like it was pulled right out of my soul and left me with some brand new feelings. i want to eat this fic like a bowl of warm soup.

I don't feel so good by Kaijuscientists - tristamp, wolfwood-centric, mid-canon. maybe it's just because i care way too much about wolfwood, but the setup (hurt) of this fic made me ache so deeply with such a straightforward premise that the payoff (comfort) was twice as sweet.

river of dreams by fleurmatisse - trimax, vashwood, post-canon fix-it. a wonderful little series in which wolfwood comes back from the dead. deeply emotionally resonant in such a restrained way. i would use these fics to teach creative writing.

Carry Me Home by beelzebby666 - tristamp, vashwood. i have this bookmarked for the crime of eliciting an audible noise of distress from me, but you should read everything fly has written. they're a gift.

Stella Maris et Regina Celorum by WateredMyCrops - trimax [original trigun manga, technically]. you should also read everything peregrine has written, especially the Write Your Ticket series, but this fic stands out for delightfully gruesome straightforwardness. this should be required reading if you're a knives main.

Tuesday's Gone by DJubilant and InfiniteInMystery - tristamp, vashwood. the dove is dead, drugged, bloody, and miserable. some of my favorite wolfwood whump. mind the tags, but if you want an absolute treat of vashwood in compromising and horrible situations, this is it.

YOU ARE HERE; or, How to Get Lost in the Desert Without Really Dying by fathomfive - trimax, vash wolfwood and livio, post-canon fix it. thoroughly, stunningly in-character. fathomfive's dialogue is deft and uncompromising and i would be jealous if i weren't busy enjoying the hell out of it. one of those fics that got stuck in my teeth in the best way.

Sundew by TruckThat - tristamp, vashwood, xeno smut with thoroughly delightful character voices. i love everything going on in this fic.

dress me in red and throw your roses by catachresis - tristamp, s2 vashwood reunion speculation, plus sex. an absolutely delightful little what-might-be of vash and wolfwood's reunion and some of the two year timeskip. quietly and thoroughly excellent.

God knows I know I've thrown away those graces by Obtenebratia - tristamp, vashwood, absolutely terrible kink practices. i can't explain just how much i think about this fic. another one that feels like it was pulled right out of my hindbrain. soggy, pathetic, emotionally ravaged wolfwood.

HARD-SOLE by junuve - trimax, wolfwood-centric. a delightful crunch of characterization. realism as a chaser to a solid shot of character voice and introspection. delicious.

a vehicle to know embrace by megumis - trimax/tristamp crossover, livio and wolfwood (& livio and wolfwood). characterization you can get your teeth into. everyone in this fic is fucked up in a lot of the ways you'd think and some more to boot. thoroughly excellent.

Est vera secta? by mephistopheles - trimax/98-themed au. i wish i could gift you all the experience of reading this as it was being written and published. watching this fic unfold from a creative setting au with immaculate vibes to a sprawling epic through all its twists and turns was absolutely delightful. take your time with this one. have fun.

Fill the Void, Lest The Void Fill You by InfiniteInMystery - trimax, vashwood, non-traditional omegaverse. i fucking love this fic. i don't even have any clever wording to describe it, i just absolutely love everything it has going on. mind the tags, because this fic delivers on everything it promises and then some. good food for the "monster vash overwhelming wolfwood's every sense" enjoyers.

Becoming Eden by Lenipez - needs no introduction. if you're intimidated by the length and scope, read everything else leni's written. no one inspires me to challenge myself to improve as a writer like leni does.

the song echoes onwards by verboseDescription - trimax, post-canon. a really, deeply good look at a post-trimax world: feelings, politics, identities, things that change and things that stay the same. faithful and inventive characterization at once.

fool in the moon by arahir - tristamp, vashwood. such a good fic. rich and deep in characterization and implication. wolfwood in this fic is such a deep cut of devotion as self-punishment, i adore it.

The Loneliness of the Long Distance Traveller by TiggyMalvern - trimax, vashwood first time fic, spiced with dramatic irony. another "just go read everything they've written, it's all a treat" rec. one of the classic trigun writers. POV-fic like no other.

something eluding you, sunshine? by ShastaFirecracker - trimax, the rare and delightful instance of vashwood being neither good nor bad but straightforwardly decent at sex. or, in this case, an attempt thereat. i don't need to rec shasta's fics, because if you have anything close to my taste you've read everything she's written twice, but i'm still gonna. :]

The Only Nice Thing That Follows by hellogaywatson - trimax, vashwood. this fic is unfinished — and while i hope it's eventually completed, what's there is undoubtedly worth a read. vashwood that cuts like a knife. sharp and memorable.

Dear Tumblr, I am trying and failing to find a post with a link to a specific YouTube essay about rap. I don't remember anything about the video other than it has an image of Drake and also man in blackface as the cover image. The video is not about the time Drake did wear blackface at one point (which I discovered while googling).

There's a post about it floating around on Tumblr that references hbomberguy (who did *not* do the rap video). If anyone knows what the fuck I'm talking about, I'd appreciate any help!

Upon a gentle rapping at the door, he turns his head to the side to see Din there, squinting in the bathroom light. He smiles, tired at the edges. “Hey.” “Hey.” He stands there, dressed in a simple white cotton t-shirt and matching light blue shorts, displaying a nicely developed farmer’s tan at the spot above his knees and ankles. “Sorry,” Cobb says, scrubbing his hand over his face and looking away. “I’ll get out of here. Let you wash up.”
