#for Reasons re: mack

@natophonetic for elgar.

Johnson sits in the back of the courtroom. Imperceivable, as all angels can choose to be. When possessing a human vessel, it's harder. Marginally so. To keep his body in this hidden state requires constant concentration. A certain environmental attunement. He must feel the temperature of the air on his skin and refuse for the feeling to acclimate, let each sensory receptor carrying the same tiny sparks of electrical information register as new; understand the minute discrepancy in space his body inhabits with each quiet expansion of his lungs when he breathes and do not habituate to the repetitive answer. Johnson is uniquely skilled at retaining imperceptibility like this: he is always aware of this incessant existence. Equally bored and arrogant, he projects his attention elsewhere. Little herds of humans come and go after every hearing. Their bodies, their souls indistinguishable from each other, polluting the room like white light in overexposed film. Except one. Finally here. Johnson lets his presence ease back in as the man passes.

"Oddly reminiscent of a church, these benches." The corners of his mouth pull into a considerate and considerable frown which he casts towards Elfgar with a turn of his head and a raise of his eyebrows. To the point, no casual tone to dress this as smalltalk: "Are you religious, Elfgar?"

RWBY V9E6 DVD COMMENTARY

Because I know what the people want —

Here’s the commentary on the Bridge Scene in Episode 6:

“We could have done it on Remnant, but there’s something so special about doing it here [the Ever After].” Noting that it feels “more private” and something that Yang, in particular, would need.

“Feel so weird being able to finally actually talk about this stuff.” - Kerry re: Bumbleby

“Blake has been bisexual for a long time [to herself].”

I DO NOT WANT THIS TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT OR CONSTRUED ANY WHICH WAY, BECAUSE I DONT THINK THEY ARE SAYING ANYTHING ONE WAY OR THE OTHER ABOUT YANG’S SEXUALITY. But one of the reasons they stated they took their time getting to this moment with Bumbleby is that “This is something new for Yang…it’s something she’s realizing about herself.” [in contrast to Blake knowing herself in this regard - see bullet above]

They chat about Casey Williams knocking it out of the park.

“So they smooched!” - Kerry, trying to downplay the gushing they just did for minutes once the scene was over.

Paraphrasing: “I’m really happy with how it all came together. It took a lot of people to make it all come together like that. I think it’s one of the things I’m most proud of being a part of creatively.” - Eddy “Me too.” - Kerry

Kerry also discusses some of the logistics involved with creating the Bridge Scene, from the assets, to the mocap, to the wind, etc. Bit hard to convey via a bullet, but just a high level overview of all the moving parts and teams that went into the scene.

“Every single person who touched this scene in some way put in their everything.” - Kerry

“I love the squeak from Ruby.” [when Blake/Yang get caught macking]

An alternative line for Jaune when they were writing was “I cant believe I’ve been gone for years and that still hadn’t happened.” But they thought it was a bit too cynical.

Have the AU kids been walked in on by their parents once they are older?

I just have a thought of Lexi and/or Nico walking in on Mack and David. Like they are visiting for a few day for something, maybe the other sisters are there too. Mackdavid are trying for their second child, not that anyone knows and getting quite hot and heavy before they get walked in on 🙊

Mack and David is a good guess but....

Smidge of 18+ content below cause I couldn't help myself.

It's actually these two couples:

Lucie and Connor- (We saw this in the Swiss Moonlight)

Liv and Luca - When his parents "unexpectedly" showed up at their Switzerland condo that Luca was staying in over the summer. And by unexpectedly, he thought they were coming in the next day. He had Livy bent over the counter, hands pinned behind her back with her skirt flipped up and bare breasts rubbing against the stone counter when his dad walked in first. 😳

The reason I say no to Mack and David is because I think they know how to be discreet enough that they aren't seen or heard. Like even if Lexi is on the other side of the bathroom door, re-loading the linen closet. David doesn't stop. He just wraps his hand tighter around Mack's mouth as he drives slower into her to avoid their skin slapping together.

[mpgis-fangurl]

watching cheerleading videos to study how cheerleaders actually work their bodies when doing stunts (squad routines, elevator preps, flyer-base stunts) and my goodness..........

so like ik that cheerleading stuff isn't what mpgis actually focuses (they keep making fun of the fact that it's not a "real sport" and that they mostly just spell things with their hands and i mean, stop-motion animating barbies doing fucking backflips and cupies would be unbelievably hard to animate!!!!) but like now im really leaning into what their actual dynamic would be when they;re actually doing cheer practice

like obv mackenzie is the top of the pyramid so she'd be the flyer (she's the person who'd be in the air the most in a stunt) as she doesnt want to be anything less than the main attraction of the routine. her being dextrous and laser-focused on whatever she does (bitching people out or cheerleading) is already a given, but also she probs have the best balance out of all the girls and with a strong enough base, can do a successful cupie at her age. Her core strength would be INSANE and honestly, yeah she deserves to have abs

Brittnay is obvs strong asf, so i imagine she'd be a really strong base??? but also she's like flexible (she literally does splits on the ep she's introduced) and the fact she's in control of the microphone and the brawns of the squad, has the biggest stamina of them all. Acrobaddie who could do backbends for days but just doesnt wanna do it. i like to imagine that she's down to be base for mackenzie and can do partner stunts with her, but when the situation calls for it, she's an amazing flyer.

i also often hc Trisha being ditzy but actually one of the more graceful people of their teammates. ofc it's because i hc her as being tall and slim (second tallest to shay), and though not as powerful as brittnay or as focused as mack, i would imagine her to be the most dextrous of them when she's in practice. So altho at first you'd think she wouldn't be a good spotter, she'd have probably caught mackenzie from the air more than brittnay does. even if she can't swim, Trisha would have good body coordination and can do cartwheels from cheer practice.

Shay would obvs be a really good flyer, and altho she's tall, she'd probably be light enough to lift in the air like mackenzie (47KG!!???!!?!) and has learnt a lot from cameron's stunts (tho i dont think cameron was much of a healthy influence when it comes to cheerleading and body image sorry). but she probably hasnt practiced cheerleading as much as the cheer squad has when she joined, so she probably isn't as body-coordinated as the rest and 5 times out of 10 can't stick the landing from the air because of how vertically tall she is (possibly kicked the squad in the neck and face more times from practice than she admits due to how long her legs are). however, she's extremely observant and is equal to trisha when it comes to being an effective base. from s3 we can obviously infer that Shay has really good and sound judgment, and in contrast to mackenzie and brittnay's hotheadedness, her demeanor is cool and level-headed. so her delegations as cheersquad captain would be pretty reasonable (if her ego doesn't get in the way). so she would be a really good coordinator when coming up with routines i imagine, and secretly lets mack have top spot in the pyramid and be responsible for most of the air stunts since she internally knows she cant catch up with mackenzie's athleticness by this point

ANYWAYS that's what ive thought of so far, watch @/Its.ccaylee, @/danielbuyeskeon on youtube, and read a bunch of cheerleading information on google to see where tf the brainworms are coming from

people keep stereotyping cheerleading like theyre for meanly competitive people(and thats prolly true at some capacity idk im very not athletic so idk much dont take anything abt this seriously) but it really opened my eyes on how physically demanding it is and now i can fully appreciate what type of gymnastics actually goes into these stunts like WOW

[mackmp3]

hi mack i have not seen or read good omens but here’s 002 for aziraphale so you can be matchy matchy :))

hehe thanks murph <33 appreciate it

how i feel about this character -

HOO BOY do i have feelings about this character. ofc Aziraphale is so loveable and wonderful & i do love him so much BUT he's complex in a way Crowley isn't. there's this bit of fic that sums it up really really well uhh here's the fic if anyone is wondering

he is so full of contradictions and thinking multiple things at once and mentally tying himself in knots to get himself to do things he Knows are the right thing to do (or even just. something he likes doing) which is such a fascinating thing to watch but also really heartbreaking if i think about it too much. like i love aziraphale and want to give him a big hug but also i want to argue with him sometimes. like in the 1827 minisode he is kinda a dick and absolutely zero-nuances the whole situation, but it's even worse because you can see exactly how he thinks what he's doing is right. i will defend his decision (key word decision!!) to go back to heaven forever because He Is Doing What He Thinks Is Right. he's also such a sweetheart, i too would like to live in a bookstore full of dusty old tomes & wear the same waistcoat for ~200 years.

all the people i ship romantically with this character -

can only be Crowley. there's a fun theory Aziraphale had an affair with Oscar Wilde while Crowley was sleeping through the 1800s but lets be real here he's saving himself for marriage (/JOKING OKAY) it was flirting for fun at most

non-romantic otp for this character -

i really had to think about this one but i think Madame Tracy. i mean there's a reason that of all the psychics in london he ended up in Madame Tracy's head, i just think they'd get along fairly well. they'd have high tea together. scones. but in reality i think he'd mostly rather be reading than making friends. ooh and he'd get along with Newt too i think.

[while typing this i realised that in the Crowley one i missed that Crowley & Anathema would get along Excellently hehe]

unpopular opinion about this character -

people like to paint him as being completely brainwashed by heaven HE'S NOT STUPID. HE KNOWS WHEN HE'S REPEATING A PARTY LINE WHEN HE DOESN'T MEAN IT. CROWLEY KNOWS THIS TOO. HE SAYS SHIT HE DOESN'T AGREE WITH ALL THE TIME. JUST COS HE FEELS LIKE HE HAS TO SAY IT DOESn'T MEAN HE'S BRAINWASHEDDDDDDD AHHHHHHHHHH sorry i just really hate that one. re: contradicting ideas in his head!! working himself into loopholes for right and wrong!! people like 'ohhh he's so distant in *whatever time period* it's cos heaven brainwashed him after they found out he was seeing Crowley!!!1! HE'S BEING NORMAL HE'S JUST EXTRA TOUCHY FEELY IN 1941 & S2 THAT DOESN'T MEAN HE'S BEING AWFUL EVERY OTHER TIMEEEEEEEEE augh. sorry. anyways. moving on

one thing i wish would happen / had happened in canon -

ough it would have been fun to see him fem presenting. i think he would have a really fun time gossiping with rich noblewomen & getting into court drama heheee

otp -

literally can only be Crowley <33

crossover ship (platonically) -

i think he'd be good friends with Zachary from the Starless Sea - for one they'd hide at opposite ends of the bookshop and read in silence and just peacefully coexist. but they woudl not so much get into situations as try very hard to avoid every situation ever cos they're in the middle of a chapter and don't want to talk to anyone other than like. three specific people. & they both know what it's like to just be someone else's part in the plan/story & have to find your own role in it.

Aziraphale & the Eleventh Doctor was the first thing i thought of but honestly they're too similar they'd drive each other up the wall half the time. the other half they'd be good but the slightest annoyance & they'd be at eachother

headcanon for them -

we already know he can draw really well FROM MEMORY so i reckon he has pages and pages of drawings of Crowley in every ridiculous outfit he's ever worn, smiling and sulking & sleeping & drinking & sprawled over on the couch & he hides them away in a drawer so no one ever finds them but he has them.

baby angel :D

Trivia: Nothing of Note

[six-costume-refs]

Do you think given how Broadway contracts timeframes are more individual to the performer than in the West End where almost majority of shows have contracts end at the same time that it’ll be more likely that the 4 alternates in each of the US productions will likely stay consistent in their covers? For example, if Courtney is the first to leave of the Broadway alts I’d imagine it’s easier to cast someone who fills the B/H/P cover order than to re-juggle the order

So a few points.

I do think that could happen in some cases, but I also think they'll try to avoid it as much as possible. Ultimately they're going to want to prioritize actors' best roles, and while they might be able to find a perfect B/H/P this time, that won't be the case for every cover combo and every cast change. Instead, I think they'll try to minimize only having one alt leave at a time:

Broadway contracts in general are *definitely* more individual, but as of what we know about the current US Six casts it seems like their contracts are still more standardized lengths (or at least in groups with a few people's up at roughly the same time). With that in mind, they could try to keep the alt contracts fairly lined up so multiple people leave at once. That could be that all four contracts are always scheduled to end at once, or it could be that two contracts are usually scheduled to end at roughly the same time so that there's a little bit more leeway. For example: if Courtney Mack and Nicole Kyoung-Mi Lambert leave at the same time, they'd need to find A, two Bs, C, H, and P. That gives them more options of cover combos than just Courtney leaving at once. Of course this wouldn't be a perfect plan and it might not fit with the current Broadway system, but it's definitely something that I could see them prioritizing.

There's actually already been some evidence that one of the Broadway alts is changing covers. I'm waiting to see how things shake out in the coming weeks before going into more detail on that, but I do think it's possible as something we might see with cast change. I will note, though, that I don't expect that this would be a super regular thing; it's something I'd only really expect to happen with this Broadway cast change, and maybe less likely in some future scenarios. It's just a lot of effort with costumes, a totally new track, potential alterations to contracts (if someone is learning a new track while covering their old that still presumably counts as four covers and that's a different pay grade than three), and all of those logistical reasons.

Hopefully that helps

[bcofl0ve]

Wait WHAT??? Saw your post about good 4 you and that cam guy and I’m INTRIGUED. Can you give us more on that? How do we know it’s about him and also why is it about him? Does he know olivia??? This is so new to me omg

him and olivia were a #thing for a bit 😅 for some reason cam and a few other 2018 activism teens™️ got like very taken into a friend group of disney kids- i used to know the gay kid from andi mack’s finsta for this reason bc i had friends that followed LOL but i forgot it. *i* am not from parkland but know a lot of ~parkland kids~ and the school shooting activist kids community of 2018 is very interconnected no matter where you’re from. and everyone knows shit about everyoneeeee. i joked once that when a handful of them are running for president in a decade the primary debates are gonna be crazy when everyone has had beef since they were teens haha.

also- cam was not well liked in the “circle” during those times™️ and was kinda known for being a douche. i know next to nothing re: him as a boyfriend because i did not date the man, but even so did it not surprise me to hear that good 4 u was about him.

Dahomey Slave Traders: True Story of "THE WOMAN KING" | Black Seeds: History

The Dahomey people in the motion picture THE WOMAN KING starring Viola Davis were actually major slave traders in Africa.

"Black Seeds: The History of Africans in America" is an epic two-part documentary film by award-winning filmmaker Bayer Mack  (director of 2014 black history documentary "Oscar Micheaux: The Czar of Black Hollywood" and 2019's "No Lye: An American Beauty Story") that re-examines the history of African people in America.

"Black Seeds" uses dramatic historical reenactments, rare period illustrations and an original music score to explain the socioeconomic reasons behind the development of the transatlantic slave trade and shows how the institution of chattel slavery took root in the United States of America.

Hi! Sorry if this is weird but idk where to share this lol. I used to watch 9-1-1 and read some fic pretty casually but stopped watching a few seasons back just because of life getting busy reasons. Anyways my friend started watching and so we are both re-watching together before the new season and she doesn't even watch in any shippy way that I know of and by the like 3rd episode of the second season she was like oh my god? Buck and Eddie are in love? And now I'm like watching so closely and omg they truly are? I know this isn't news to you but I am just shocked by how OBVIOUS it is and I'm catching up on everything that happened since 2020 and SO excited for the next season!!!!!!

Hi, anon. This isn't weird at all and actually made me smile (which I very much needed today), so thanks.

Honestly, Buck and Eddie being in love isn't a surprise to me... but it's still kind of a surprise to me? As in, sometimes I'll blink and just be hit with a mack truck of ohmygoshtheyloveeachothersomuch feelings. When I started watching 9-1-1, I was not intending to start shipping Buck and Eddie at all. I mean, I thought it was a cute little ship, but it wasn't until the well collapse that I thought "..... oh wait, they're actually... ?" and the rest is history. Things have only gotten more insane since then, but I'm excited to see what Season 6 has in store for everyone. Hope you enjoy !

[thetomcruiseblr]

I do always wonder...would I have been treated better by some people if I had just stayed my bottom!Mav only route? That was the whole unnecessary conflict from last year, the "bottom!Mav vs. bottom!Bradley" thing.

And it is personally so far-off and unrelatable for me to try to even re-hash now because I am one of the more neutral people about this topic now - I have a particular aesthetic taste to it, but that's about the only difference. I mean, to me they are both hot guys, and I want all men I find attractive to take dick, so Maverick and Bradley would both have ideally always taken dick for me. It just took me much longer to figure out what I wanted out of Bradley taking dick, but I have done it, and I love it, even as I know that so many in the Roosmav fandom still are bottom!Mav-only.

Again - this is over fictional guys taking fictional cock. It isn't a big deal. Underage bottom!Bradley isn't a big deal. I have read a lot of it, it's fine, and I get that people want to see Maverick love on a cute baby softboi version of Rooster, and that is very valid. I love that for them, and I hope they keep loving what they want to love. I just personally prefer him with a tan and less body fat when he is being split open on dick, but that's about it.

But I have leaned so heavily into bottom!Bradley, as I have explained before, because I wanted to assuage the fear of that former friend of mine that she had about there being a divide between the bottom!Mav and bottom!Bradley fans. I'm glad that I did it because it has allowed me to explore more aspects of what I like about them. I truly am one of the more neutral people about this subject now. I only wish I had the chance to talk about these new revelations I have about them with other people.

I haven't revealed this before, but I was actually blocked by AortaArgent on here - one of my all-time favorite writers - because I leaned so hard into bottom!Bradley. I know Mack unfollowed me on a certain night for the same reason. These were people who I once actively got along with very well as fellow bottom!Mav fans. I've lost everyone - the bottom!Mav fans and the bottom!Bradley fans who I annoyed last year. And it's all because I've tried to do my best to truly accommodate every thought and preference on them, but as a result, people think I'm just insane.

I think the thing I most want to get across is that I am human, and I am trying. This is all fictional, and I hope we don't have to leave the world with such misunderstanding of one another.

"cannery row" by john steinbeck

finished: august 21, 2023

this is my third steinbeck novel, just following my recent read of "east of eden" and having read "of mice and men" in high school. this novel was cute with some moments, but unlike prior steinbeck novels i've read, the main plot was dialed down quite a bit, replaced with some vignettes on other (unrelated) characters tied to cannery row. on one hand, i kept picturing cannery row and the surrounding areas the entire time; it was really neat to get some "history" (albeit fictional, heh) of what life could have been like for early cannery row residents. having been a semi-frequent visitor of monterey bay my entire life, i've passed by this book littered over dozens of storefronts dozens of times. it's nice to take in the contents.

i liked the grocer, lee, and i think ironically once again he was probably the character i was rooting for most, though quite different than the "lee" in "east of eden." steinbeck seemed to handle the racial differences a bit more diplomatically in "east of eden," in "cannery row" lee almost seems like a characterized version of that idea. this has made me interested to see what criticisms exist of steinbeck's writing of ethnicities different from his own and if racial tensions exist. i feel similarly regarding the brothel bunch compared to "east of eden."

overall, this book described an area in its early developmental stages and the people who inhabited the area, who chose for one reason or another to reside and/or work in the "less well-off" part of town. there isn't much plot and when there is, i never found myself rooting for mack and the boys. they were sort of just stressful. definitely my least favorite steinbeck novel but not a terrible book, i guess.

rating: 5/10 thought it was fine, not bad but not something i would re-visit or recommend

ReConnecting the Dots

In therapy, in the midst of trying to understand some things about myself, while I had no one else walking around in my head, I Intentionally imagined a young version of myself, to interact with for therapeutic reasons.

this younger self was about 6 years old, and wearing an easter dress I remember, and have pictures of myself wearing. This little me had paten leather shoes and little tights, and I found her dancing in a Theater.

On the screen in the theater, there were old, WW1 Propaganda cartoons playing. An old man was seated nearby, staring blankly at the screen.

I tried to get her to follow me, and that worked for a bit. We walked across the hall, and there was a showing of the First Top Gun movie.

I imagined another theater, playing "the Secret Garden", and tried to get her to come in with me, but she would not go.

I had a hard time over the next year getting her to leave the Theater.

I came to understand that this part of me was powerful. This was a part of me that had a lot to do with the mechanisms of my fear and self control. They were deeply involved in manufacturing safety.

Recently, when all the wild creatures that have lived in my mind showed back up, she emerged of her own will, and was willing to come into the Ski Lodge.

She talked with Kalok, who is a very protective creature, and has contributed greatly to my sense of confidence and safety in the past, and was even wearing a new fancy Christmas dress.

Still Dancing, in front of the fire.

In the last few days, I realized what she really does.

She is the Glass Cutter.

She is the part of me that identifies possibly threatening thoughts and behaviors, and sequesters them, separating them from the rest of me. It is an incredibly hard job. It requires Heavy Psychological powertools. Fear, Doubt, Guilt and Shame. Because she has to be able to separate some Wonderful things from me, sometimes, for my own good. She had to do it sometimes to keep those things safe, and/or because those things used to trigger a bad person to do bad things.

But the point of her job is to make me make safe decisions. She isn't Trying to hurt me. But ugh, the impact she has is like a Mack truck.

So my urge was to share the Pen with her.

The Pen is something I found in a Story I wrote. It used to be a sword. I stabbed one of my Alters with it once, Right in the Eye. It re-wrote him. I know that the power of the pen is simply to change my own story... To change myself.

I would like her to realize that I am no longer in danger. Or at least, not in danger any more than you regularly are in life. I would like her to be able to change how she responds to and identifies "threats" so I can put down the urge to separate myself from powerful emotions and "bad thoughts"

I am thinking of casting a spell to work on transitions for the parts of myself that have come back up. To be open to them, to be more incorporated and less separate. I think maybe it will help her to see that there are different levels of danger to things in life, and maybe a more nuanced approach to her skills could be used.

But Resisting is something we've been doing since the beginning. Resisting unfairness and being bad, and it is difficult to stop. So allowing these changes, in direct contradiction to her urge for safety is difficult. Everything is easier, better, smaller, safer when I behave.

But I am six raccoons and several frogs in a trenchcoat on a good day. Behaving, for me might look normal at a distance, but is a fraught prospect. Raccoons are Very Wiggly.

More in a bit, I need to re-route, and start telling another corridor of this story on the next post, because it hits very different, but is intimately connected with this prospect.

Illness

Hill in Washington, D.C., about 10 miles each week. "As a kid, you learn, you get sick, you get better, you move on," he said after an event with Pelosi at the Boathouse Restaurant in Rockets Landing on Friday. "I am sick, I am getting well, and by God's grace, I will get on." In a letter to McEachin over the weekend documenting his illness, Brian P. Monahan, a physician for the congressman who retains him, confirmed the diagnosis.

The congressman, who claimed to be cancer-free, learned he had the disease in July after developing a urinary tract infection. “You did a very thorough assessment,” recalled the doctor. "So when antibiotics control the infection, you now need abdominal surgery," Monahan said.
