“What would I do without you?” probably better.

WIP Wednesday

Tagged by @elodiah and @insomniaflarrow this week.

Not going to lie, I completely forgot I had this WIP partially sketched out in the form of a single scene. I also, unfortunately, forgot exactly where I was going with it, so.

Have some random dialogue, set vaguely in a post-S2 AU where the finale didn't happen and we got a whole season of fun episodes like we wanted.

“Be that as it may. It would do no harm for you to adopt a more cautious approach.” Mobius side-eyes him, but what might have been a sarcastic response seems to fade unspoken at the genuine worry visible in Loki’s troubled face. “Okay,” Mobius finally says with a sigh, as they pass under the archway leading to the outer corridors. “I can do that.” Loki clears his throat. “Thank you.” “But also, stop complaining. We’re burning through field teams like O.B. burns through circuit boards.” “I believe that is more a reflection on his unique methodology of, and I quote, ‘experimental live-action troubleshooting’ than accurate analysis of our field strategy.” “Yeah, well, the God of Time’s field strategy is getting us audited by Internal Affairs.”

Queueing this so sorry in advance for any duplicate tags, @justabigoldnerd @thewildballyntynesgrow @lokimobius @thosegayoldmen @impulsemuppet

WIP Wednesday

Thanks @loki-is-my-kink-awakening for the tag! Pretty sure it’s still Wednesday somewhere.

A snippet of something slightly silly I drafted right after watching “1893” and haven't revisited since. Not sure whether I’ll end up doing anything with it, but I liked the idea of Mobius cajoling Loki into queuing for one of the attractions.

—

“I thought we weren’t sightseeing?”

Loki fidgeted impatiently, craning his neck to see whether they’d moved any closer to the start of the queue. Progress was agonisingly slow; they’d shuffled forwards only a few inches in what felt like hours, even though Mobius kept insisting it hadn’t been nearly that long.

“This isn’t sightseeing,” Mobius countered. “This is strategic.”

“We’re supposed to be looking for Renslayer,” Loki reminded him pointedly. “And investigating sightings of a spectral clock.”

“Trust me, if Ravonna’s trying to blend in, this is where she’ll be. Besides, we’ll get a bird’s eye view of the fairground from 264 feet.”

Loki gazed at the Ferris Wheel rotating serenely overhead. Hundreds of Midgardians in identical glass boxes gazed back. He lowered his eyes, trying not to think about the increasingly erratic revolutions of the overloaded Temporal Loom, infinite strands of raw time straining to burst free from the godlike contraption built to contain them.

“And how likely is it that we’ll be able to spot Renslayer in the crowd? There must be thousands of people here. Tens of thousands.”

“150,000, give or take.”

“Exactly. This isn’t strategic, Mobius, it’s a waste of time. We’d have more luck wandering aimlessly around these so-called attractions.”

“What’s the matter, Loki? Aren’t you having fun?”

Mobius held out the paper cone he was still (inexplicably) clutching in his hand, shaking it enticingly. Loki let out a long-suffering sigh, reaching inside to grab a sticky handful of dried corn. It was almost worth it for the way Mobius’ face lit up in a smile, some of the tension draining from his shoulders.

This Christmas I got carried away making book trees! I can't decide which is my favourite.

[blackscarabfilmz]

I don't think I'll be burning it, but after all the years of watching Nash and Tara do Goat Watch, I thought it would be fun to bring that tradition closer to home.

(And yes, I know Thanksgiving was two days ago, I work retail, Christmas started for me on Nov 1st)

Seven Sentence Sunday

It was 7 sentences before I ruthlessly killed a few semi-colons, so. From what I'm calling the uncontested divorce era upcoming in this new AU.

The variant gives him a thin-lipped smile. “If that is the case, I’m sure you won’t mind if I eliminate the problem before we proceed in the negotiations.” “Go ahead; my need for his assistance ended well over a year ago. Which you would have known, had your information been up to date. I thought your man on the inside was keeping you well-informed, but it would seem I was mistaken.” Loki leans casually against the wall, legs crossed at the ankle, and waves a hand vaguely in the air to emphasize lack of care in the lie. If the variant notices the gesture starts to silently, imperceptibly slow time around them, he doesn’t show it; merely looks at him with understandable incredulity. “Told you,” Mobius says, a little too cheerfully. “We don’t talk anymore.”

Queueing this, sorry if y'all get deluged in tags. @elodiah @impulsemuppet @lokimobius @loki-is-my-kink-awakening

@in-my-loki-feels @insert-witty-user-name-here @thosegayoldmen @andthekitchensinkao3 and open tag for anyone else who sees this.

Books and cupcakes. Because some days are just comfort days.

seeing ppl say the fma:b dub is better than the sub?? can't believe you would willingly inflict v*c m*gnogna on yourself.

I fully expect these to be the subject of the teasers in the new Quantum Leap show

Worst people to randomly body swap with:

Violin soloist in the middle of a philharmonic performance

The person in charge of counting down a rocket launch

Someone in the middle of an elaborate revenge plot or with a really bad hangover

The flyer in a cheer squad

Scratch that last one, even worse, a Cirque du Soleil performer

A preschooler, but specifically the unsupervised one that has just put a caterpillar in their mouth

Only Star Trek: Strange New Worlds can take an unnamed character only mentioned in dialogue and make them the focal point of an episode nearly sixty years later.

Thank you! 😊

1. spending time at home, just relaxing

3. my gorgeous nieces 😍

4. going for a long drive on a winding road - windows down and volume up!

5. the crackle and pop of a nice, warm fire 🔥

One time I played too much Roblox (this was ages ago too like over a decade ago) and I tried to zoom out of real life to get an aerial view.

I just want y’all to know that one time during lockdown I played a lot of Minecraft because I had nothing better to do and then later I was going to go into my room after a shower so I could go back to being a hermit but it was dark so I just thought “oop, can’t go in there, there’ll be skeletons spawning there and they’ll shoot at me”

And for LIKE FIVE WHOLE SECONDS I didn’t question it and I just turned on the lights and walked out into the living room to wait it out, just thankful I had my pajamas on already so I didn’t have to fight off the shooty skeletons in my dark closet where there might be some creepers too

And then all of a sudden I was like “Wait what the frig skeletons aren’t real” and then just went back into my room

And I think about that a lot. So if ANY OF YOU dare to think that I have any more than three and a half braincells on a really good day, just please remember this and know that you are sorely mistaken

In my opinion, the only reason to do a film adaptation of a classic TV show is so we get a rad cover of the TV show's theme song.

Yeah, we clown on the Flintstones live-action movie, but you cannot deny that the B.C.-52's rendition of the theme slaps:

Or the Speed Racer movie (which is really good, despite what I said in my video on it ages ago) has a rad cover of the theme song too:
