And I know I'm not a bad man. I know because I see me in you.

[id: Digital sketch of Izzy and Roach from OFMD. This is a modern AU. Izzy is sitting on a piano stool and Roach is sitting between his legs. Izzy rests his face on Roach's shoulders, a little smile on his face and his hands are on the keyboard, playing. Roach rests his hand on Izzy's knee. The sheet music for Kiss of Fire is visible on the piano stand. /end id]

Please read Lounge Singer AU here. It has my entire heart.

A sketch (for now?) for neo__pessimist! The gorls...

We need to be making PSAs and infographics to explain Roachyhands to as many men as possible. We need to get the word out there my GOD we need to get the word out. There need to be info booths set up at sporting events. Pamphlets passed out on the street.

conversation from ofmd creators server writing chat

HopelessScribe:  Ok, if Ed is King Arthur and he and Izzy are a couple, who would that make Izzy?  [redacted: spoilers for published chapters of I can fit two people under my skin] BRB, googling arthurian legend.

TeddyMedley // TeddyOverthinks: My BBC Merlin fixation is about to show.

RE: if ed is king arthur and he and izzy are a couple, who would that make izzy?  Theres Queen Guinivere. There's Lancelot. There's Merlin. There's Morgana.

It depends on which version cuz that canon is so vast—like, I’m talking anything likable enough just Is Canon. So, there are so many versions of it that there is no Right Answer to who Arthur is paired with.

Guinivere is his wife sometimes, but sometimes she's married to Lancelot. Morgana is his sister, or his wife, or an enemy. Theres literally a version where he meets Jesus. [disputed].

HopelessScribe: [Izzy’s]'s definitely not Merlin. I feel like Izzy is a hybrid in personality between Lancelot and Morgana, from what I know of them.

TeddyMedley // TeddyOverthinks While in many versions he is like, the last king BEFORE Christianity, and in some he's The First Christian King.

I cant emphasize enough that this is a case of literature pre-copyright including canonized fanfiction. Fanfiction is just a retold version of a story, so it makes sense.

HopelessScribe: It does and yet also that’s also wild to think about.

TeddyMedley // TeddyOverthinks: It is SO wild to think about!

I dedicate a lot of my time to thinking about retold stories. My tumblr is basically me sharing fanfiction quotes for sacred reading reasons, and the occasional rant about canon creation.

Like—canon creation happens now, especially with screen adaptations, but copyright hinders it. Meanwhile, AO3 being a public archive makes it happen so much faster.

But my whole thing is like, those people repeating legends to each other centuries ago were doing the exact same thing as us (us!! this server, this channel right here!!!) telling each other stories about a made up version of what happened to two guys who lived a long time ago! 

[Referencing the loose historical inspiration of OFMD] 

BTW, Arthurian legend is a legend, not a myth, because deep within those stories is a real person who once lived. And then people retold stories about him until it got so weird you’ve got Monty Python and the Holy Grail and That One 200k BBC Merlin Fanfiction and they all are in part for entertainment but that’s never the only reason why people love them. There are also a million deep reasons that im like, obsessed with analyzing. But should not begin to get into here and now. 

...sorry. I’ve calmed down.

Yeah, Lancelot is probably a good bet for a lot of the lore. But honestly there are so many versions you can probably find one for whatever dynamic you want. Or if youre not directly referencing anything you can have Izzy go 'this is just like us! see here:' and make up your own version and nobody will be able to tell.

I like how i was expecting the BBC Merlin fixation to show and then it did but also my whole literature/myths and legends special interest showed.

HopelessScribe:

Fully agree. Stories have power.

The Council of Elrond

read it on the AO3 at https://ift.tt/AgntI9i

by HopelessScribe

If you are not a part of the RoachyHands OFMD Discord and you are reading this, don't say I didn't warn you. This fic is full of crimes against Tolkien fans everywhere.

It's the Council of Elrond scene as written by someone who has never read any Tolkien, and despite seeing all the movies multiple times at the forcing of various people, is unable to retain any information about this universe. I did zero research or fact checking for this fic, as instructed by the person it was written for. I'm so sorry.
