After seeing so many Shadamy Barbie memes I just couldn't resist ...

My brain imagined a scenario in which Shadow and Amy wanted to go to the Barbie movies and Amy just bought these masks, that she wanted to try out with Shadow so badly 😂

Shadow doesn't care or doesn't even know how goofy he looks and Amy is constantly giggling and takes the opportunity to take funny selfies

Analysis:

So choosing a very concrete and short sentence to start is definitely intentional. As a reader, I like to have at least one basic detail about what's going on before I dive into a story. If I have to wade through a lot of commas and clauses to figure out what's going on, I tend to check out a little bit.

I also like to state who is the POV character close to the beginning, which is why a lot of them tend to have at least one name in them. I think it takes out some of the confusion jumping into a story (and w/third person, since anyone at all could be talking, including an unseen narrator, I like to anchor the text to one person to start if I'm not describing a big, chaotic scene).

Beyond that, I like to try to reflect the mood and/or tension in the story with the first line.

YFFM's is long and sort of dreamy because I wanted it to mirror Elowen's sense of detachment from what's happening.

The short, hard start for Katabasis is like that because Salshira finding out that she's dying is like this giant, immovable rock dropped into the stream of her life. It's not something she can get around. It's a slap in the face. I wanted to mimic that in the flow of the text.

I also like to establish contradictions and circle back around at the end of a fic, so sometimes (Josie had never really been much of a teacher) the first line is directly contradicted within the next few lines or paragraphs (Josie was…for once, she was glad to have been wrong). Idk, I just like people lying to themselves. I like making it clear to the reader that their self-perception is a lie, an obfuscation, or an act of self-deception. Or---in this case, it's a way to exhibit that anxiety does not always play out the way you feared.

I also went through and looked at the last few fics I posted on tumblr, but I chose not to add those here because most of them were from the micro-fic prompts. Unlike the other things I write, I tend to pack as much information as possible into each sentence of those prompts, so I didn't think they were as indicative of how I write. Since sentences are at a premium, they just don't wind up flowing as well as other things I've written.

There are a lot of getting together after many years after a break up or being dumb and not realising the feelings are mutual for many years fanfics, but few, if any, fics with Jaehyun not giving up and continuing to pursue his goal.

Which shows how little people actually pay attention to the reality and more to the surface things and common tropes, but my grief with that is that I find this bit particularly interesting about JaeDo. (Something that other ships don't have). The whole conflict of 2017.

This situation of having "all seasons" to the romance is really unusual and pequliar (idols living their lives before the fans). When I see Jaehyun bragging about being promised a ticket to the first day of the musical or making Doyoung laugh with acting stupid during "Love on the floor" practice, I also remember Jaehyun bying Doyoung hand-cream with "hyung's hands are always so dry" comment. Or when Doyoung likes all Prada IG posts and goes on a PR campaign for "Forever only" release, I remember how he said he should buy Jaehyun-ie a scarf to not be cold. There is a continuity that adds so much even to small current events.

That meme by a kfan I linked earlier showed me that there are shippers with the same sentiments. The moments chosen were very "old shippers" kind of moments, the moments that especially stood out because of how indicative or revealing they were about the ship (Jaehyun ready to jump into the river to catch a crab for Doyoung).

Personally, I'm fond of "Doyoung treats Jaehyun as furniture" moments. It sounds rude worded in this way, but in reality it is one of the best indicators of their closeness. Jaehyun, who doesn't like when his personal space is invaded, allowing Doyoung to do so at any moment. And Doyoung, who is more unceremonious the more he is close to people, allowing himself to be possesive with "my bf, my body to touch whenever, wherever". JaeDo as a couple started with the cooking vlive, and with Jaehyun loosing his last braincells and professional composure over Doyoung resting his arm on his knee feigning innocence and total focus on MCing.

After all the years Jaehyun still finding it funny to change the baby butt bread pose into an incorrect version of holding the chin pose.

And yes, I like how perfectly this fancam captured the speed Jae came to action once Do called him (when asking the members to do the baby butt pose for the group photo). As no amount of bitch face and suave brand looks will be able to hide that Jaehyun is indeed still a puppy.

Lastly, moments like this one, when Jaehyun ignores 7 men and turns to ask something Doyoung, don't get into JaeDo ship videos as they are boring out of context, but they are the ones that keep reminding about the bond between the two. And no, it's not about Doyoung being in Thailand back then, as Taeyong, sitting beside Jae, was present during all NCT Life and Rookies programmes in Thailand as well.

Thinking back on it, Elden Ring's release was crazy because by it was revealed in such a cool and mysterious way that people immediately got on board the hype train or said they were overselling it. Then there was the long wait which only sent more people into a frenzy until the playtest which had people coming out of it saying "holy shit its good" and having their minds blown when they were only experiencing like a fifth of the game world and a fraction of the content so skepticism blew up because there was no way the people who made Dark Souls 2 were going to drop the video game equivalent of the Peter Jackson lord of the rings. It wasn't possible. Then a contender was thrust on field as the horizon sequel stepped up and it seemed obvious what the story was going to be. The grand masterpiece with all the promises and hype was going to fall to the improved sequel of an averagely decent, vaguely similar game. Much of video game history is composed of the craziest shit so whatever eldritch mechanisms weave the world were certain to bring this conclusion about.

Then the game released and it was all that and a bag of chips. It had the Dark Souls combat but better, an open world that was fun to explore and packed with cool enemies, tons of weapons and spells, a huge number ways to build, and actually decent online that was a blast to play. Try Finger But Holes exploded in surplus and drove that meme's stock into the ground. There so much lore to the game that people have made careers out of exploring all the little connections, themes, and details that just exist buried in item descriptions and graphical details. There was a horse now and he was somehow cosmically significant and it was weird because if this dude is an outer god or something I'm just using him as a car for drive-bys and suicidal platforming. Is he aware? Is he fine with it? I'm afraid that mistreating him with bring about the secret "Age of the Horse" ending that's this happening inside the roundtable hold. I prefer to run everywhere.

Anyway, its funny that the game lived to up the hype and is now a pinnacle of modern gaming. You don't often seen that in video games.

Where to begin with yesterdays adventure?

Husband decided that he could not live without an Alfa Romeo in his life. Since agreeing to buy it, every train which could have taken him to buy it has been cancelled. After the third attempt was cancelled, I suggested that perhaps the world was conspiring against buying the car and it was best not to? But no, we don’t believe in signs.

The fourth train journey was cancelled. To avoid further life disruption, (this has been going on for over a month), I offered to drive in my mini.

Not ten minutes away from the seller’s house, the battery light came on and at the same time, I had to stop to check out a squeak in my car. The Alfa wouldn’t start again. Alternator problem. 5.15pm.

RAC kept delaying the arrival time. The memes came out. I found a funny one from the Isle of Harris page.

Three hours later, we dashed off for food in the mini. I can confirm that the Twix toffee apple McFlurry tastes curiously like apple Jack Daniels. We miss a call from the RAC. Our call has been escalated.

Two further hours of waiting… it’s eerily full-moonlit blue-bright, the moon has a halo and I’m turning a little insane with waiting - the werewolf tunes on my Apple Music come out to play. Husband is not amused. 🐺 🌝 Awooooo! Werewolves of London…

It starts to rain. It’s past midnight.

A huge, Mad Max style Landrover/Range Rover hybrid type thing comes past with enormous bright lights on the front roof - it stops behind the Alfa. Husband gets out… I’m convinced we’re going to be murdered. Maybe eaten. I suggest he gets back in the car. Truck pulls up alongside us and stops just in front, on the road, blocking our exit. It has one tail light out, the left one. I notice that the lights are the old house brick style ones. I’m still convinced we’re going to be murdered by the land pirates. They honk the horn and drive off. 🏴‍☠️

Ten minutes later, a local recovery guy confirms it’s the alternator and hears the story of the land pirates. He says there’s a local gang who steal cars from lay-bys to strip for parts overnight.

We book a local Travelodge. As we arrive, the recovery guy rings back and says he’s at a service area to drop the car off at a garage and there’s a truck like the one we described there, surrounded by four police cars.

Never a dull moment.

I’m Your Wingman

Still haven't seen Top Gun: Maverick, mostly because i don't wank the military, or authority if I'm being honest, like most middle class white people do. I grew up poor and black. When i did enter the middle class as an adult, i still had the mentality of a poor black kid. I still have that sh*t to this day because America is constantly reminding me of what it was like to be poor and black. I don't understand how motherf*ckers who look like me, with a background similar to mine, can grow up to suck at the teat of US capitalism and all of the ails which come along with it. Sh*t is wild, man, but i digress. America loves it's military to the point of fetishization. They love the idea of the military so much, it might as well be a religion. The zeal for that uniform is absurd, blinding most people to the reality of the US military industrial complex. So much so that, when people call out how bullsh*t all of that mess is, cats get destroyed. How many military whistle-blowers are held up as heroes as opposed to, say, someone like American Sniper, Chris Kyle. That dude was a racist murderer but because the people he murderer were “enemy combatants”, cats give him the pass. Mans got a whole ass movie about his “heroism.” Chris Kyle was a psychopath who murdered brown kids for fun but, you know, let's 'Murrica the f*ck out of his story because patriotism and bald eagles and democracy and Big Macs! Let's talk about how Kap kneeling is the same a sedition but ignore the rampant rape of female servicemen by their male “brothers” or the sloppy cover-ups which follow. They kill these women when they come forward, on Us soil, on US bases, but f*ck that! Jets are cool.

Every war we've fought since WWII has been in service to the pockets of the One Percent and not to, you know, protect our borders or whatever. The most despicable people on earth make money on wars, which is why the US had been in one for twenty goddamn years. At the cost of the taxpayer. So, yeah, sh*t like Top Gun: Maverick ,or any of the Transformer films, or all of those fly-bys at NFL games, better keep coming. That sh*t distracts from the fact that the architects of the War on Terror cost us all eight trillion f*cking dollars, a lot of which was funneled right into their pockets. It distracts from the very human toll taken. Nine hundred thousand people died over that two decade span, a war that was ever only an Operation started on a blatant and xenophobic lie. I mean, f*cking Dick Cheney is Chairman of Halliburton, a massive oil company who saw direct profits from the war he started when he was Vice President, because of oil uncertainty! We spent two decades in the Middle East and for what? What's changed? For all intents and purposes, we lost The War of Terror, just like we lost The War on Drugs. The Taliban are being recognized as the legitimate government of Afghanistan, the very outcome we fought so hard against. This sh*t is Vietnam all over again and no one talks about it. The whole concept of that conflict was doomed to fail. How the f*ck do you defeat an idea? How the f*ck do you physically combat the abstract? How does any of that make sense? Let's talk about how Muslims are radical and Jihads are bad. Let's whip every American up int a fervor by talking about how terrorism is something that happens over there even though Christians shoot up elementary schools every other day here. How is a radical Muslim blowing themselves up in the name of Allah any different a Christian Zealot bombing a Planned Parenthood? How is one more acceptable than the other?

The US Military Industrial complex is f*cking awful and I don't think it's disrespectful to actually call that sh*t out. I've sen memes talking about how unfair it is that there is a Pride Month but only a Memorial Day and it's like, you can't be serious? America is so wet for the military, it's absurd. Media and political pundits make sure a certain demographics stays aroused by the exploits of our Armed Forces, but never the cost, just the idea. Every one celebrates Memorial Day with barbecues and beer but the VA is grossly underfunded with no end in sight. Cats put little flags in their Twatter bios for Veteran's day but refuse to do anything to help the homeless, a great many of which are actual Veterans. It's wild because the US has the same relationship with Soldier, that they do with Back people: Value the contribution bu neglect the bodies. They love the sh*t black people do, but hate the black body attached to it. They love the sh*t the soldier does but hate the care necessary afterward. We gave you two days out of the year, what do you mean you need help with mental issues? We sold you a Charger with a decent interest rate, what do you mean the shrapnel in your hip hurt and you need medical attention to get it out? Bro, do you know that Tom Cruise committed a war crime during the climax of that film? What he did was wildly illegal and would have lead directly to another war but no one cares because those foreign boogeymen got what they deserved! Because we are all desensitized to the fact that the US exports war and imperialism under the guise of freedom, to line the pockets of those whom keep us oppressed here at home. The hypocrisy is f*cking staggering and the masses keep buying into it because Top Gun: Maverick made a billion f*cking dollars. Now, if only we could recoup the other seven billion we lost on Afghanistan, we'd be good. Those nine hundred thousand lives are gone for good, though. But it's cool because something-something, 'Murrica!

choose: blue or green?

The “Make Me Choose” ask meme

Blue is really really good, don't get me wrong, I love me all shades of blue. I haven't seen a shade of blue I didn't like. But I am, like, obsessed with green. Every time I'm bying an item and wondering on what color to pick, I'll try to see if there's a green one.
