#vol. speak

[paigegonerogue]

I, of mostly sound body and spirit, request that if I’m ever to die, someone post a new work on my AO3 that says “sorry, she died, ongoing stories postponed forever” because don’t I want my fanfic buddies to think I ghosted them. Amen or whatever you say in a will.

Happy birthday to DOAI vol 1!

Sadly I couldn't make anything because 100% of my creative focus is on a cosplay I'm making (which you'll surely see when I'm done with it ;]) but yeah, happy birthday nontheless!!!

BAD DREAM: CONFIRMED

Sakura has foreseen their horrible jam jar vacation that they take before popping back into the plot at the end of time. I suppose they know it’ll be bad before they get in, at least?

It is so NICE to see them sharing this information and softly talking about the possibilities and options they have. There’s a lot of tenderness between them even as they face down a terrible fate and have to try and reckon with the idea of The Tsubasa Plot that still lies ahead for them and their son. 

But also catch me trying to piece together the wording of that speech bubble on the left. “-You giving birth to the very Syaoran on whom you were based-” doesn’t match up grammatically to what I think they’re trying to say?

Like, if it’s Syaoran talking to Sakura it doesn’t make sense because she wasn’t the one ‘based on’ Syaoran. 

But if it’s Sakura talking to Syaoran the wording implies that HE’s the one who gave birth, which is not usually the way you would word that sentence.

UNLESS…?

For the sentence to make sense the way it is Syaoran needs to be both the one who gave birth to Lava Lamp AND the one who was cloned from Lava Lamp. 

So! Looks like reborn Sakura and Syaoran are both canonically trans now. :)

I don’t make the rules BUT I'M KEEPING IT.

Bzzzzzz... Bzzzzzzz... Buzz moment :)

Lil' bit of deception here... I know, bee Buzz is a concept I've seen a lot of artists do. I wanted to make him a chameleon instead! Though I made his hair bangs have two antenna-like stripes and gave his coat the beehive pattern as in a "you thought" type of moment, hehe. Nate will be next!

You know the drill, time to talk more lore!

Job Positions

Let's chat about what jobs you can get at Studio J! We'll go by the most powerful to the least powerful.

The Directors

- Notable Members : Helen (Main Director of YDKJ and Fibbage), Mavis (Co-Director of YDKJ, Main Director of Quiplash), Sam (Main Director of Headrush and Drawful)

- Surprisingly enough, the directors get more say and power than the producers do in Studio J.

- They are the ones put in charge by The Director herself. They call the shots in the studio and are in charge of making sure that every game goes as perfect as it possibly can.

- They are usually paired with a producer and a host per season, who are to keep each other in check.

- Ever since Sam stepped up to the plate for Headrush, there have been additional directors, oddly enough. No one really knows what it even takes to be a director since Helen and Mavis have been there since the beginning, and Sam just appeared out of the blue. Hell, we don't even know if this position even has a contract or deal offered for it...

The Hosts

- Notable Members : Nate (Host of Vol. 1), Guy (Host of Sports), Buzz (Host of Vol. 2), Cookie (Host of Movies), Schmitty (Host of TV)

- The most important member of the entire cast (and possibly person within' the studio), the host's duty is to-well, host the game.

- This is the only part of the cast you can't audition for. The Director has a very particular way of picking her hosts.

- There are two ways to obtain the mantle of the host.

1. Working your way up the ranks of Studio J to get The Director's attention. Remember, just because you do a good job doesn't mean you'll get chosen. As you climb to the top, you must remember the 3 traits that make a good star : character, charm, and flaws. There is a high chance you have to burn some bridges to prove yourself, but the rewards are worth the trouble and pain. Trust me.

2. Getting lucky. That's it, no jokes. Sometimes, The Director goes on her own little ventures, and if you're lucky enough, you'll grab her attention and look into you. If you're even luckier, you'll be interesting enough to get offered the contract. It all comes down to the luck of the draw.

- You know there's a contract that comes with it! What's in it? Well, that's another story for another day!

The Producers/Sign-In-Hosts

- Notable Members : Cookie (Producer of Vol. 1/Sports/Vol. 2) Raul (Producer of Movies/TV/Offline) "Baby Diva" (Producer of Headrush) Ellie, also known as The Elevator Lady (Producer of Vol. 4)

- Can't have a show without the essentials! If the director is mostly in charge of how the game goes, the producer is in charge of making sure IF they game can even happen.

- Key Examples of their duties include the following : doing roll call for cast and crew to make sure everyone is there for the game; getting the contestants to their assigned spot and explaining how the game will work; and making sure there are enough questions to commit to a 7-question game at the very least.

- Majority of them hate their job cause they are usually the ones who have to put with the majority of the studio's bullshit. Nothing important-I just thought it was fun to know.

- This position requires signing a contract, too. However, it is deemed a "lesser contract" for it accordingly does not require the forfeit of one's soul and humanity. That is... unless someone is desperate...

Everyone else who isn't an Intern

- Notable Members : Kim (Lead Writer for YDKJ 2011/2015) Bob (Lead Audio Manager) Milan (Janitor)

- Alas, there's not that much to say about these guys. They don't get as much attention and get simpler jobs. Thus, to most, they are usually overseen.

- If you are the "lead" of any squad, however, you'll get a little more respect to your name than your colleagues. You'll also be attending a lot of meetings with the director, producer, and host.

- No contract for them. They can go and come as they want.

The Interns

- Notable Members : Psh-You kidding? There are none! They're interns!

- YOU DO NOT WANNA BE AN INTERN. And if you are, you better be pulling every trick in the book to get out of that position ASAP.

- These guys are the bottom of the barrel. If you aren't lucky to be immediately put on a squad, you're probably playing servant to whoever is host for the season. If said host's name is Cookie Masterson, you might as well count your days or just go work at a fast food place.

- As you might expect, they don't get a contract either.

Now that we've gone by everything, let's continue our interview with The Director, shall we?

Envy's Deal

"My whole story with Envy is quite 'the ride,' so to speak? Ohohoho-ho! Ahem-

Get this, the whole reason we were able to do those Celebrity Collect Calls was because ol' Envy himself. Envy had life pretty big! Bigger than any of the other boys prior to signing the contract! His father was LOADED! His acting career brought in lots of dough and relations for the family. More the merrier for us, we needed some new material after season two, TRUST ME."

"I see. If that's the case, what could've made him sign the contract? The way you're phrasing it, it doesn't seem like he needed it."

"I was hoping you'd ask that- hehe. To put it in his own worlds, the reason he needed the gig was so he, and I quote, 'can be as cool as my cousin'."

"Aw... that's sweet!"

"Yeah, sweet to you, utterly confusing to me. I didn't know what he saw in him, especially knowing his own lively struggles, but he idolized him none the less. It took me lots of thought to figure it out, but in my luck, I believe I managed to find it out... Knowing how simple the answer was, it makes me giggle.

He was jealous, envious even. His cousin didn't have to whisked off to here-and-there-and-wherever-next nor did people treat him like he was a force to be reckoned with (which is rather ironic if you ask me). He simply got to be treated as a human. The only luxury the luxurious could not afford. It was not like the gig was going to help with that problem, yet his devotion was strong, and his bickering was annoying, so I insisted.

To think he gave away his own future, life, and humanity to me all for one person...

To think he was just 17 when he did it...

...sigh... the human race just finds more ways to confuse me, now doesn't it?"

"Even if the world ends. I wouldn't really care." "As long as I have you, I'm happy."

Jane Dawson (default name for Te Amo MC) is very pretty and honestly perfect for her. Unfortunately, it is only two letters away from Shane Dawson, and that is too close for comfort.

And honestly all I can say is that this is Icon behaviour.

Catch me imitating this at every minor convenience for the next ten years.
