Kids in the Archive: Episode 5

told you it wouldn't be long until you saw kids in the archive again! originally i wanted this episode to be about the citizen kane sketch as requested by the lovely @oliviaskithworld but unfortunately i left my citizen kane script at home when i went off to college, so i'll make sure to do that episode as soon as i get home for thanksgiving break. for now, let's get into today's iconic kids in the hall sketch and break down a behind-the-scenes comparison of script and screen

Previous Episodes: Episode 1 - armada finale ("do we make it?") Episode 2 - fran & gordon: the vacation Episode 3 - comfortable Episode 4 - cathy & kathi: is he?

today we're diving into a highly cinematic sketch, s3e7's "Kidnapped"

i feel like this is the most popular danny husk appearance, as it's the one i see brought up most often. personally, there are danny sketches i'd rank higher (my favorite is "husk musk" followed closely by "brown stuff." i don't have scripts for either yet) but i feel like this sketch exemplifies everything great about a danny husk appearance: his doofy personality, corporate bureaucracy, and a touch of the surreal.

The Cinematography

while this sketch doesn't compare to the art house cinematography of later works like "love and sausages," this sketch is still full of striking visuals that are not noted anywhere in the script. as you can see above, this script opens on dave and doesn't showcase the headline until we already see danny husk holding the newspaper. compare that to the more powerful opening of a stack of newspapers being dropped on the ground. other beats, such as danny sleeping on his desk under a newspaper, are missing as well.

Kevin's Character

most of the changes to this script in its final version were additions, such as the "i think this phone might be bugged" beat or bruce's kidnapper character being one he's played in previous sketches. however, the one part of the sketch that was trimmed down is kevin's character (referred to as "terry" in the final version, though the script never mentions his name). terry is the person in charge of the printers, he speaks to danny in multiple scenes, and in the script it's actually his idea to photocopy the last two-dollar bill. also he might be hinted as being into danny i'm not sure

The Ending

once again, the ending is for the most part unchanged, just with a few beats shortened.

unlike the final version, danny doesn't return to the newspaper boy, instead having his "i'm free" triumph in the same location where he met with his kidnapper. his celebration is also much shorter - cutting out his hug with the newsboy, his dance, and limiting his flight to just running while making the sounds of an airplane.

scott would later reference this sketch's ending when stating how he regrets not putting danny husk in brain candy, opting to replace him with a doppelganger "wally" instead. sure, danny husk isn't gay, but he also can't fly and his pits didn't cause world peace. he's such an ordinary character that his ordinariness becomes malleable, and unlike a character like buddy who tries to adhere to a sense of continuity, danny can be carried wherever the plot takes him.

OKAY, IT'S FINALLY HITTING

(will you guys hate me if I post this longfic a month later than planned?)

how did u choose your username?

oh, this is a fun one!! i think i considered being swordtold at first, for that very ancient myth vibe of the sword being this narrative tool for adventure and structure and physical time, the parable being passed down through the centuries until it meddles into modern day rhetoric and ideology – a kind of fantastical tool, a spark of magic, of possibility.

i like the arc of the story of a place being physical / having it be held by time and hand alike, wearing with the years and having it become something different to each holder, each reader, each experience fantastical and individual.

having that kind of physicality to it; swordheld is the action of taking up and holding the sword yourself, choosing your own narrative, leading your own story. self-identity has always been something i struggle with (a novel concept i know, i know), so it felt right for this blog, since most of my older blogs before this one have been just me silently reblogging and never really posting anything myself, and i wanted this to be the change to that.

i've always had trouble wranging my social anxiety, esp. on the internet, and previously thought that keeping my words to myself helped keep the timeline cleaner, in a way, no messy thoughts for others to sort through, especially ones i believed no one would want to read anyway? but it never felt right, keeping myself apart from it all, esp. not in the way i so avidly enjoyed reading others' posts and additions, keeping their words close to my heart.

i wanted it to reflect that this was a space i was holding for myself? and i'm a little slow on the uptake sometimes, but this - this i think i got right. i love being here, on this blog, and the joy that it brings me. everyone else enjoying it too has been a wild ride that i never expected, and still surprises me, one that brings a little extra thrill to my heart whenever i think about it.

i had other urls that i liked, but i didn't want this blog to be tied directly to any of my fandom/story interests, since i wanted it to really just be a sort of archive of artistic inspiration and resource, like a little library or museum. i use them now as lil sideblogs of more niche interests now, which is rather lovely.

it hasn't always felt like it fit perfectly, the way that i'd like, but for some reason i can't think of really wanting to change it anytime soon. it feels mythic yet modern in a way that feels like puzzle pieces finally slotting into their place, something my own and inspirational to me, like a lantern i'm holding to make my way by. my own kind of light, if that makes sense – a star i know by name.

Okay, input validation on the server is done, and I think it's pretty much finished!

The plan today is to study some calculus, start on the front-end of the ASW project, and try to do a PHP tutorial as well.

Gonna skip class (again ⊙⁠﹏⁠⊙ ) because I woke up almost with no voice and my throat is a bit swollen and achy.

Here's hoping I can get a lot done all the same.

It's 3am and my roommates and I have just finished binge watching WandaVision ready for Agatha to come out later today 💪

I'm saving some pics of each of those sonaria critters and JESUS CHRIST

The Mufasa trailer is so funny to me because they retcon Scar to be the intended heir which doesn't really make sense since his parents literally named him this

TIaF Edits Teaser - Chapter 3

“Dear child.” Iron fan now regards you, her gaze intense as she speaks, “You have a choice. You can stay and find refuge within our family, where your abilities will be valued and your life given a purpose aside from hiding within the shadows…”

She pauses to let you process the first part of this deal. You knew the “or” was coming, as it always did in situations like these involving demons and deals.

You move slow enough, so they can clock your movements as you sit up. You glance between her and Red Son, then lock eyes with her again. “Or…?”

“Or…” She says, now kneeling before you and taking your chin in her hand. The touch is deceivingly gentle, just like the look in her eyes. “You can choose to meet your end here.”

Your blood runs cold at her words, your lungs clenching. All too suddenly, it felt like it was all but impossible to breathe.

Not an anon, but this random question came to mind:: What are your coffee preferences?? :0

[From this]

Dr. Astrilde: I personally go with whatever coffee is available. I prefer the bitter ones (but kopiko blanca is my beloved cuz it's just nice to dip bread on it)

Dr. Astrilde: Considering how my name is "ansy-tea" though, I guess it's to be expected that my answer to this question would be boring— there's someone who's very eager to answer though...

Archbishop Theophilus: Coffee— this is by no means dogma so please do not cite this as gospel— is quite possibly the greatest invention mankind has offered this century!

Archbishop Theophilus: I am so intrigued by how, in another universe, it is an ancient discovery. Our scholars have only just found out three decades ago that these beans are edible and safe for consumption!

[Theophilus is eager to show you his collection, carefully taking out containers from his personalized shelf.]

Archbishop Theophilus: So far, this nectar brule Their Majesty had presented on my birthday is my favorite. The good doctor here informed me that it's comparable to cafe serré in your realm!... I do hope I am not butchering my pronunciation, haha.

Archbishop Theophilus: If... If you fancy the notion, would you like to join me in my quest for new blends? Perhaps having another friend could finally convince Their Majesty to also join in on the good cheer. It would be nice to have (Y/n) visit with a radiant smile on their face for once...

[Theophilus stopped smiling.]

[He clears his throat.]

Archbishop Theophilus: ...Oh, dearie, you have caught me rambling on. Forgive this old man, I simply missed having company.

Archbishop Theophilus: Haha, look at me, praying to the Heavens for (Y/n) to smile when I only ever don one myself when blabbering on about either coffee or Their Majesty... How miserable...

[the-kipsabian]

extended social media hiatus. bye

[vargaslovinghours]

Y’all are being subjected to my Sims 2 tests, so there

The other set of Vargases came over for a visit and Scriabin picked up Shmee and started talking to Scriabin through him. Very normal, very usual

I downloaded some circle-glasses recolours and hghghh they look so good! Closer every day to his final details! Getting ever closer!

Edgar too! I made him a custom hair with a lighter undercut - I’m mostly happy with it, probably could’ve shifted it a shade closer to his skintone but the texturing was weird no matter what :P And his stripey shirt! I wish Body Shop didn’t have that hands-on-hips pose lol, it looks so much better in-game, but that’s all the better :)

I got some new clothes for Todd as well! As soon as I saw this ‘fit I was like “Oh that’s 100% Todd there he is.” Scriadad hug ♥ So cute

Foot-dancing together stopp it’s so cute!!

The way he looks at them stoppp <3 <3 They kept doing this right up til they left for home haha, Todd’s giggles are the cutest

Used SimPE to save him to the Body Shop, I now have infinite copies of The Boyyyy ♪

Moved him in with his “parents” as just shadow people basically, they’re not gonna matter in a bit as long as I remember how to get the Social Worker/Adoption process to work properly. Get her Todd!!

Wanna play? :D

Menacing :(

Look, Todd, your new dads are here! Initially I wasn’t sure who I wanted to adopt him, got lots of options; the first passes, the married couple with their own Todd, Johnny?? He definitely doesn’t have the facilities for a child lol But these are the ones that showed up on their own, so the married Vargases are the winners!

Scriabin cares more about him than his actual parents ;; A stranger off the street shows him more care! Not that it’s a high watermark

Look at him being a good dad!

Weh, he just wants friends ;; Poor baby

Best timeline, thank you

While we wait for CPS, let’s get some other interactions in! Nny is mean so he tended to prank the other two with a nose flick - mostly Edgar lol ♪ Now kiss

“Oh please don’t break all my bones~ :3” I love Todd looking up at them haha <3

Pffft, I think he was talking about the other Scriabin and just how attractive he is. Classic Scriabin. Alternatively, also funny to imagine him bragging himself up about how he’s just so handsome that Edgar can’t help but love him hahaha ♪

Allow me to tickle you with my KNIFE! >:D

Get a load of this guy lol

He ended up passing out at one point - I forgot which motives make CPS show up >.> - and completely 0%’d his comfort, but for some reason stargazing increased it?? It’s the same ground wh

Is two not enough to satisfy your butterfly bloodlust child?? He ended up with three, I had him release them before he was picked up by the Social Worker - success!

He rolled a new Want as soon as Todd was taken away - “Wants to see Ghost of Todd” Woah, dark! :0

And here he is on the married Vargases’ lot!! Success!! I did it right!! Heck yeah! :D Unfortunately they were uh, indisposed at the time. Good job guys pft

Goes right for Shmee, he really is Todd <3
