April 15: Short Note

I need to get back to writing ficlets and writing exercises and so on. Not today, though. I did basically what I intended to do but I took my sweet time about it and then I went down an internet rabbit hole and now it's late. I'm very tired. I should be very tired. I should be going to seep.

I want to go back to writing t100 fic also but... here's thing. It all seems so far away. Sometimes, when I think of certain fic ideas, or when I read others' fic, or perhaps just randomly, feel a spark of excitement again. But not close enough or real enough or persistent enough to translate into real work. Nothing wrong with that, I suppose. I just... it's that feeling of wanting to want something. I want to want to be motivated to work on these ideas. I still like the ideas. I just... the effort. It's so much.

It's hard to focus in the way necessary to actually accomplish thing. Like it's fine to have general, flighty, all over the place ideas, but if you want to get anything done on any of them, you need to pick one and treat it seriously, have tunnel vision for it. I am stalled on that part. I still need to finish the Jonty fic, but after that... I keep dithering. I don't know.

The imminent arrival of Nooboo Sawyer meant that plans for Gracie and Jonty's wedding had to be accelerated. Gracie had the day off so she deployed Kyle to go to Witchy Wearables to buy her a wedding dress while she set up the garden for the ceremony.

"I trust you, Dad. You'll get something that suits me; I know you will," she told him.

He trundled off and picked out a dress before spending the day at his shop.

The Most Important part of preparing for a trip is not making sure that I've packed clothes (Jonty, did you remember to pack socks?) or getting gas before I get on the highway (seriously, did you pack socks??? and toothpaste??), but picking out what I'm going to listen to.

Arc Two 117

Nyota had just finished whisking the meringue when something thumped upstairs and made the ladder rungs rattle. The egg white peaks jiggled ever so slightly.

“What was that?” Marcy looked up in alarm.

Nyota glared at the ceiling. “SAIL would be panicking right now if we were under attack, so I would wager that Namina got bored. If he spoils my pie…” She let the threat hang in the air as she started spreading the meringue over the oculemon filling. “Marcy, please turn on the intercom. It’s the large round button there, then the yellow icon on the right.”

Marcy looked unsure, but she did as asked.

“Oldarva,” Nyota said as she caught the telltale electric hum, not taking her eyes off her delicate work, “may I guess that you had a surprise Floran from above?”

Eldie’s laughter bubbled through the speaker. “That is a very good guess, ma’am.”

“I am somewhat familiar with his habits.” Nyota caught a glimpse of a grin from Marcy and a small smile creased her own cheeks through the heavy concentration. “I hope he did not scare you too badly.”

“It wasn’t terrible,” Eldie said.

In the background, Nyota caught Gizzie’s timid, barely-familiar voice. “Are… are you okay, ma’am? You’re very fluffy.”

“I see.” Nyota spared a glance to the intercom. “Do I need to have a word with him?”

“No, it’s quite alright. I already asked him to play more gently. He had a small scuffle with Mihre, but it is fine now.” There was a smile in Eldie’s voice, and quiet hiss-chittering of two Florans gossiping nearby.

The intercom’s voice-to-text screen helpfully translated the commentary as Marcy stifled a laugh.

“By the bark, what a grip! Sprout has good taste.”

“Bessst. Hugs. Ever.”

Nyota carefully composed herself as she slid the pie into the oven. “Well done. Carry on, then. But ask them to play gently. I am making a pie.”

“I will, Nyota.”

Marcy barely managed to turn the intercom off before she burst out laughing. “Gosh, what did she do to them?”

Nyota smiled serenely. “Nothing serious, I am sure. Oldarva isn’t as bad as I am. But the details are between her and them. Did you want to check on them, or help me with the main course while our dessert bakes?”  

Marcy hesitated again and glanced up, then shook her head. “If you say Oldarva has it under control, it’s probably fine,” she said. “So, what’s for dinner?”

Nyota considered her options. “With this many tastes, we may as well make samplers. There should be fresh meat for our two floran in the fridge, if you don’t mind grabbing that for me. I will start with the fruit.”

They slid so easily back into the old routine that it was almost like they had never left, like Earth still thrived around them and it might be just moments before one of their dorm-mates or Mr. Jonty popped in to find the source of the good smell. But there were new notes to the routine. Marcy didn’t need Nyota’s guidance to begin slicing and seasoning the meat. Nyota savored the now-familiar scent of fruits she had never heard of on Earth. The scents were different, sweet and no longer strange. They had both changed so much in the time they had been apart. But they still knew the steps, the song.

Nyota smiled with pride as she inspected the stir-fry. “And you said you would never rival your father’s cooking.”

Marcy smacked her arm and did no harm to anything but her own hand. “You stop that,” she said, shaking out her fingers. “He’s leagues above what I can do.”

“So you think.” Nyota savored the aroma and fervently wished she could smell as well as the floran could. “I think you may catch up one day soon.” She quelled further argument with a finger on the tip of Marcy’s nose. “Apex know our food, little as we have. Believe me in this.”

Marcy grinned and conceded. “If you say so, then I’ll have to work hard to earn it. Dad might like that. I know Mom will, she loves trying new cooking. She tried getting Dad to pick up some of your recipes after you visited, you know. So you might get hauled into the kitchen next time.”

Her words brought back so many sweet, strong memories. Nyota had been too embarrassed by her first tries to ask Mr. Jonty for help at first, but he still caught on to what she was up to and joined her anyway. She could still almost hear his patient advice every time she tried a new recipe, delivered as stories about his own kitchen disasters and how he learned to fix them.

“I will enjoy that. Now, just toss in a little more oil and it’s perfect.”

The grin widened. “Yes, ma’am.”

FLASHBack: Week 67 [First-Class FLASHBack] - Weebl & Bob: FF7 / Scampi

Easter is this month, so the obvious choice for this installment of First-Class Flashback is going to be Jonti "Weebl" Picking. However, I did all of his Easter themed content last year. So my next thought was to cover some Weebl & Bob episode to get some egg related content, and then talk about Weebl's animation trilogy titled "The Lord", a series of animations in the style of old Black & White Edwardian films, narrated by Lord Peter Feathering-Walthamstones. His attempts to show you his drawing room are thwarted by the fact that he's high off his mind on various illicit substances. However, it appears that "The Lord" trilogy is now only available for viewing via Weebl's Patreon. So I'm just going to be flying by the seat of my pants for this, with some Weebl content that I haven't covered yet, at random.   Perhaps not entirely at random, as I am going to stick with my plan of including a Weebl & Bob episode, after all this is the season for eggs. And while I've covered these eggy boys before, the ones that I have have all been Weebl-centric. However for a small handful of the Weebl & Bob shorts, the art style changes, with the premise that Bob made those episodes. Bob's shorts are characterized by a red-orange background instead of the usual purple, and a hand-drawn line-art look with an excess of "line boil". Line boil is that look that you get in hand-drawn animation where it's clear that the artist was not able to accurately and smoothly draw the same outlines from frame to frame; Originally considered to be an animation defect, it became a style choice for professional animators in the 90s when a method was developed to automate its addition to digital 2D animation.   And if I'm going to talk about one of the Bob-animated toons, the obvious choice would be one known for making its players think about resurrection -- originally because of the fact that Phoenix Downs don't work in cutscenes, but more recently because its publisher is finally getting around to the high definition remake that fans have been begging for for the last few console generations. Posted on 10 December 2002, FF7 is the 25th Weebl & Bob Short. In this animation, the role of Cloud is played by Weebl, and Bob is Sephiroth (or possibly Aeris -- when you get down to sketches the two have similar hairstyles). The main points of satire are the aggressive random encounter system (a topic also touched upon by Legendary Frog), and excessively long in-battle cutscenes.

  So next, we're going to look at Scampi (I've Seen Things), released on 14 September 2003 ... *Listens to Voice From Offstage* ... What do you mean I already mentioned Scampi? ... *Listens Again* ... In the Savlonic post? Argh. But I didn't drop a link to a 10 Hour Version, as is customary for covering Weebl's Flash loops here on FLASHBack. And I know I didn't mention the Scampi Remix posted on 15 July 2009 where Weebl asked ZekeySpaceyLizard to re-animate it in his own style, nor the Christmas version of Scampi from Weebl's 2015 Advent Calendar. So this isn't entirely a re-hash.   Next week on FLASHBack, more eggs.

Gracie was feeling a bit left out of all of the fun, so she picked up her mobile phone and called Jonty to come over and see her.

She quickly ushered him into her bedroom...

... where they spent most of the afternoon and evening, making out and flirting.

BY that evening, Megan and Oak were also at the stage of heavily making out. Where is your hand, Oak?! 👀

Unfortunately, they spent too long outside and Megan caught first a cold and then pneumonia. Oak didn't want to catch it (again) so went home still thinking about their awesome make out session. Megan, despite feeling rubbish, couldn't help but beam.
