While checking my outfit in the mirror today, I came to the realization that I am dressed like 90's!Fitz. I have on white, baggy 90's jeans and a black t-shirt, with a pink flannel over top. I'd show a picture but I'm too self conscious for that lmao.
Anygay, I challenge Fitz to a fashion contest. >:)
(/j I know I don't even stand a chance against him. Pretty sure he'd say/think that I have good taste if he saw me tho lol)
Also, while I was typing this...
*looks at the Clearly Canadian sparkling water I'm drinking*
genuinely funny when my boss who's a degree purist tries to encourage me to get my masters. while I work for her full time. for next to no money. with extremely inflexible hours.
an interview with darragh cowley (portraying lt. glenn graham), who talks for some time (starting at 34:54) about the his experience working on MotA, including his audition ("the biggest audition of my life"), the boot camp, and his experience working with the other guys. interesting points include:
-the boot camp lasted two weeks, but it was during the height of covid19, "so they couldn't facilitate quite as a in-depth camp", so it was more like spending two weeks in a classroom ("the whole two weeks, we were those boys"). they practiced drills, marching, and exercising, "but we didn't have to camp or sort of, you know, be horrified or traumatized, if you will, like they did on "saving private ryan". no, you know, we weren't sleep deprived or we weren't, you know, made to survive on rations at all! it was relatively cushty."
-"i made a bit of a scene at the boot camp on the last day. i'd organized, uh, some beers for the military advisors and i'd [done] a little speech at the end for all the men, because we, you know, we did the whole thing in uniform–in costume, in character. the whole two weeks, you know, we were those boys…particularly by the end a bit, like, they were really encouraging us to live in our roles. so i made a bit of a scene, and made a big speech, presenting to captain dye, which will possibly be the best thing i've ever done in my life… and i think the director of the first four episodes (cary fukunaga), i think he liked that, and i think he picked me out for that".
-says he was of many other actors who were "basically told to improvise for a lot" and were initially given three weeks to film, but weren't necessarily told when those three weeks would start: "and then it would extend". cowley, tho, ended up on the job for nine months ("which was from start to finish"), finishing twelve days before the rest
-recounts how he was "really involved with all the boys" and made it a point to go out and meet everyone else during boot camp bc, despite being nervous, he wanted to be the friendly face for others that he would've wanted himself
-he'd "find out what squadron [each new boy was] in, and find their squadron, and introduce, you know, each lad to five, six, seven of the lads in their squadron"
-such actions earned him the reputation as the guy who "knew everyone's names"
-was quite candid throughout about how nervous he was about doing his portrayal justice, as well as his inner struggles as a working actor
For the ask game: which fic are you the most proud of? What inspired you to write Illicit Affairs? Which OC do you relate to the most?
Ask Me Anything About My Fics
For most proud of: I'm actually going to go ahead and say A Lucky Hand, because that was the first fic I ever wrote and I always thought I hated writing or that I was bad at it because I could never commit to it, so when I finally sat down and wrote something and people engaged with it, it changed my total perspective on it.
I started to get the ideas for IA when I wrapped up my first clone wars watch and was already on Rebels. I just loved Rex as a character so much, and I started thinking of different dynamics between characters and I thought of "what if there was a Jedi and clone relationship and what if Rex was the one in it." All these plot details rushed into my head, and I was still unsure about the process of writing it but I started to post x reader fics as a way to see if there was any sort of interest in my writing, and when I got positive feedback I decided to go for it and it's been my passion project ever since.
And I definitly relate to Talia the most. I've always said she's not a self insert, and she isn't, but that being said it's hard to not let parts of yourself show in characters you write. I relate a lot to her in how she doubts herself, and how she can't help but compare herself with others, but I also relate to how she can see the humor in things even when it's dark, and her stubborness.
💘: Doesn’t really like them, but doesn’t flat-out hate them either.
💓: Is intimidated by them, but wants to be friends with them.
Honestly....., those are fair reactions.
💔 [From Tyrian to Hazel]
💔: Hates their guts.
That is something they can agree on.
💖 [From Neon Katt to Yang]
💖: Finds them aesthetically attractive.
"Hey, you're pretty cute, too!" Yang says with a little laugh. They might have initially got off on the wrong foot at the Vytal Festival (which was partly her fault, she knew; her temper got the better of her), but she definitely wanted to get to know her better.
It's a question he's long asked himself. Sitting here now, under the eaves of the high-rising Bell Tower, Morty centers himself with the ringing of the bell that signifies the return of the rainbow pokemon to their home.
Morty had been asked once, when he was but a child, what he hoped for in life. More than anything, he'd wanted to see the great bird that his family had guarded for centuries now -- Ho-oh, the sacred bird of seven colors. It was said to seek a trainer with a pure heart and the strength of will unmatched.
He had seen in shadowed visions that a trainer would come and claim that title, though he couldn't see who it was and could only pray desperately that it would be him, if he only trained hard enough.
I don't know how you do it, Eusine said over lunch, trying to see into the future. It's going to make you crazy one day. Let it go!
He's right. Morty's never been one to linger on things, but that vision had consumed him like Entei's flames, burning him up until he pushed himself to the peak of his abilities.
In the end, however, the chosen trainer wasn't him.
Fitting that the boy's name should be Gold. Even more fitting that he should climb these stairs with a brilliant feather in his hands to claim this title.
He should be sad, he supposes. Perhaps, quietly, he is -- but he's proud, more than anything, to even be worthy enough to guard Ho-oh's roost and bring it home.
The bell chimes overhead and Morty breathes deep. The day sets with a ringing cry and when he opens his eyes to peer up, there is a feather waiting for him, radiant as the sun itself. It's as long as his palm and lighter than air, and he holds it like it might fall to pieces if he clutches it too tightly.
Yes, he supposes he has found what he was looking for.
to be honest, i was barely on the dash all day so i had no idea what was going on until i’ve looked more into the situation because i’m trying to find the url i need to block, but looking further into this whole thing is making me really paranoid so i’m gonna be even more selective with who i follow back for my own comfort. my apologies for anyone this impacts but this is making me sick. this especially goes for muses in the s.tra.nger t.hin.gs fandom because i’m already afraid of it. i’ve had several callout and drama tags blacklisted for a while now, but i’m adding even more to the list so i can avoid those kinds of posts. i was going to make a few posts addressing a few things about jo’s relationship with anthony because it’s important to keep in mind because now i’m afraid to because people don’t know aging is a thing. i just hate this whole situation and the fact that the people hurt by it are so lovely and absolutely don’t deserve this.
so once me and my wife were watching a documentary where a snake ate like a million eggs. that snake just went to fucking town on eggs. and the snake made the eggs look so good that i kept thinking about it, and thinking about it, and thinking about it, and eventually it was 11pm and i ran out of willpower and decided to eat one (1) singular raw egg just to prove to myself that the snake was surely a liar.
the snake was not a liar. texture is like, super important to me and raw eggs are very Texture so i had another one, and then another one, and then another one, and eventually i ran out of eggs.
i had like, fifteen raw eggs.
i didnt really know how to explain this momentary madness to my wife, so my Plan was to put all the eggshells into a grocey bag, and then throw that grocery bag in the dumpster, and if she never noticed that would be Excellent and if she noticed immediately i could lie and say that the eggs went bad.
except i cant lie very good, and of course with murphys law being such, i got salmonella.
so i threw up a lot and my wife asked me what poisoned me so and i tried very hard to dodge the question but i was oozing shame like oil from a room temperature cheese and eventaully i gave in and told her everything and to her enormous credit she was more flabbergasted than actually upset. she did make me promise to not eat any more raw eggs, which i have stuck to, and she gives me weird looks during nature documentaries now as if desire was the only thing keeping me from eating thousands of pounds of krill
anyway i made a joke earlier about being able to eat my age in eggs and my sister in law in law made a drawing to comemorate the moment and also because it was my birthday. she's excellent. thank you 10000000% @cintailed. you should all visit her page and admire her work.
