#totally just a hypothetical

[twinki3zs]

So… If a certain someone (me) were to make a blog about a fan fiction series they’ve been planning for a year that’s about a Camp Camp prequel called Camp Campbell which focuses on young Daveys experience in Camp Campbell with all the hijinks and wacky adventures that happened before Jaspers death, do you think certain people (the Camp Camp fandom) would be interested in it?

Just a hypothetical.

Has Dave met any other weird kids besides Leonard and Shawn? Maybe a singing princess or a beatboxer with a big afro (would his name still be Beardo?)

god, his class is full of weirdos...

there are kids who think they're fictional characters who AREN'T REAL...

then there's Binky, (nobody knows what his real name is, kids just call him that cuz he still uses a soother despite being 4 years old) who won't shut up with stupid sound effects...

other kids are loud and boisterous...

or just plain off-putting...

the only kids Dave believe are normal are all girls... he has no idea how to talk to girls (living in a literally all-male household doesn't help much)

...yea that's why he kinda just sticks with Shawn of all kids...

i think about that one hypothetical you mentioned of "what if alejandro miscalculated in Ep 4 of WT and got his own tongue stuck to the pole instead" a lot

Listen. Listen.

It'd make for a really funny and really interesting hypothetical "what-if" scenario, especially if it leads to Alejandro being eliminated early into the season.

Without it's main antagonistic force driving it forward, what would World Tour even look like? Would the three team system last until the merge without someone going out of their way to wipe out Team Victory? Who would even make it to the merge without Alejandro's influence over who does and doesn't get eliminated?

Who would step up and take his role of the season's main antagonist?

Truthfully I haven't really thought about the scenario at all since I suggested it, but it would work super well as a point of canon divergeance in a World Tour-centric fic/AU.

(Also I'd like to think this is a perfect oppertunity to develop Bridgette's character more, since she wouldn't be the one getting eliminated here.)

Trying to transliterate Leara's name into Quenya, and it somehow becomes, uh,

Lëarra

Which basically means "You Sealion!"

And I'm just, "Oh yes, this is That Sealion Woman, and she can breathe fire, as all sealions do."

If Leara, for any reason at all, needed an actual Quenya or Sindarin name for any fun Elvish shenanigans, we'll just use Calairie/Calearil, which is "Light of the Sea" in Quenya and Sindarin, and what Leara actually means.

Top 5 Lymond ships?

I’m going to keep this to romantic* ships, but my list of top 5 Lymond relationships of any kind definitely includes some platonic and family ones (and is even more difficult to confine to 5).

*other or additional adjectives may certainly apply…

click below for spoilers and because my answers got long. Augh, these characters!

Francis/Will - The nicknames! The fights! The stars! Strip tarocco and its narrative implications! Then the wedding day sheep battle, the tactical cross-dressing, “everything there was to know about Lymond’s way with women” ?!?!, the ring, the way Will is there at Midculter when Francis comes home in DK… They’re such a disaster, in hilarious and serious ways, but they make it through to real trust and friendship in the end, and I just love them.

Francis/Philippa - Their relationship is always important and telling and entertaining, and after a certain point but before the suffering sets in, they just keep making each other smile and laugh, by accident and on purpose. Reading their scenes in RC is like genuinely being in the room with them, with banter and chemistry that is PALPABLE and makes me into a third wheel, but as a reader I also have insights that they don’t, so I’m in on it too? Or something. They love each other so much! And after everything, they get to be together. Francis, you fool, this is what you should be!

Francis/Jerott - if you’d told me when I was in the middle of reading the series that they’d be on this list, I’d be like, “Uh, ok, sure. Dorothy Dunnett has changed my opinion about characters before.” If you'd told me when I had just finished the series, I’d go, “Huh??” But here I am. There is so much wrong with both of them, and we know it all too well, but they are so important to each other, and Jerott is one of the characters closest to the story's heart. Getting Jerott safely out of the disaster that is DK is one of the things Francis promises himself, and he’s so glad when Jerott decides to stay. Their relationship, especially in PiF, becomes deeply devoted and strange and delicate and absolutely full of self-deception on both sides. But Francis never stops trusting him, even when he’s busy running away from all of his own feelings with increasing speed, even when Jerott is being awful to him. And all the desperate conflict within Jerott distills to the essential element of being there for Francis, every time it comes down to it. Also, the way Jerott calls him his first name more than anyone else (on-page, in the series’ scope) messes me up.

Marthe/Güzel - I REALLY wish we’d gotten to see more of them. For Marthe, PiF is (among many other things) this long, agonizing breakup, but we only get a few clear glimpses of it. That scene between them in Djerba! Marthe plays a song wishing misfortune on the brother she knows her girlfriend is zeroing in on, and she cries because Güzel has happiness (does she though 😬) and she has none! And I cry too! And the whole mess that web of relationships becomes is fascinating (and one of the clearest examples of how queer these books are, yay), and there's also the parallels with Francis and Margaret, to consider? Anyway, to quote @sophosthewisebunny, Marthe deserves better than the shadiest bitch in the Mediterranean/someone who would leave her for her brother, but their relationship is very interesting.

Francis/Güzel - Rereading RC, every scene between them made me feel dead inside, while also making me want to run around screaming and then return to my book to savor every word. There’s so much going on with them, hardly any of it good, and since I was just thinking about the previous ship on the list, I have to wonder how their relationships to Marthe affect how they relate to each other, because that’s an interesting question, too.

honorable mention to Francis/Míkál, entirely because of this, and Francis -ahem- Lymond/Richard Chancellor, because another thing that happened as I was rereading RC was that I realized just how much I’d missed about how important they are to each other, in such a rare and needed way (the first time, I was busy losing it about the brother prophecy and yelling at Francis to be friends with Adam and Alec again).

Had a really good conversation with my therapist yesterday that has left me feeling better about life & the future than I have in... months, honestly (which also has me feeling really good about her ability to help me continue sorting through things).

I was talking about my distress about the future and in particular what I'm going to do when I graduate, since grad school isn't the most stable option, and she pointed out that since I was spiraling over hypotheticals, maybe it made sense to simply make up my mind about the first step, since applying to grad school is hardly the same as committing to grad school. And she was so right. I am so good at feeling like I need to make the right, perfect decision -- especially after making mistakes with school in the past -- that I have been worrying myself into depressive spirals over what the "right" decision is here. But making up my mind to at least apply and find out what my options are is a decision, that will give me a lot more information in the long run than paralysis over if it's "okay" to apply at all.

It'll still take a lot of work, obviously, and l don't know if I'll even get in anywhere, much less actually commit to doing a PhD if I do. But it has taken such an incredible weight off my shoulders just to say "Okay, I am going to apply, what next?" Because it means I can put all that nervous energy to actual use! Instead of spiraling the next time I start thinking about my options in the future, I can go do research on different PhD programs (without feeling guilty the whole time, like I have been until now)! I can ask my favorite professors for advice! I can reach out to current grad students to ask what they think of their advisors! All of which is actually productive and will help me make the most informed choice I can if and when the time comes, instead of ruminating endlessly on what the "best" one is!

TL;DR -- my therapist is very smart and understands me and the things my brain gets stuck on in a big way, and her advice has dislodged literal months of extremely disordered thinking just like that. Because now I feel like I've made a choice and have something to work towards. And also like I can breathe.

now that we’re on the topic i would fucking love to read through the sheet music for nerdy prudes must die… not even to play or try and put on my own performance but just so i could read it and follow along with the show to try and work out all the harmonies

ok, hear me out. We all know Noah wasn’t in action, but if he was, I DESPERATELY want to know what p!noah’s superhero costume thing would be, and what it would be called.

Suggested this idea to the server, and the wonderful @perpetualexistence offered the idea of p!Noah technically complying to the ruleset of the challenge by offering up his superhero persona; Hyde, the invisible hero.

Which is just Noah's convoluted way of not dressing up at all. Instead, he sits backstage and projects his voice to where he's "supposed" to be. It's an idea born from equal parts ingenuity and laziness, which fits Noah to a tee!

And it's pretty symbolic of p!Noah's role in the show; his whole deal is hiding in the background and floating his way through the competition, practically invisible to the people around him, whilst being glaringly obvious to the audience (thanks to both his pranks with Izzy and his other antics).

It's also a nice nod to Jekyll and Hyde. You know, the story about a man who divides himself into two distinct personalities; one the fair-mannered and socially acceptable Doctor Jekyll, and the other the self-indulgent vice-seeking Mister Hyde. (And then eventually succumbs to the draw of his self-indulgent personality and commits suicide before he loses the "proper" part of himself.) It's a really good comparison to p!Noah, who also hides his wilder nature and instinctive drive to thrill-seek behind the personality of an apathetic bookworm. There's parallels there.

Of course, Noah wouldn't explain any of that to the judges- or, well, just Chris- in this hypothetical scenario, since it's put his tumultuous façade into jeopardy.

I imagine Chris would give him some points for originality, and then immediately revoke them due to "lack of effort". Then, when asked to give an example of his power, Noah would grab at his ankle from under the table or something- since this is p!Noah, who's intrinsically a little shit and would never pass up on an oppertunity to scare the daylights out of someone. Over all, he'd probably get a mediocre score in the "super model" portion of the challenge.

As for the obstacle course? Well. Since he's "invisible", there'd be no way for Chris to verify how quickly he completes the course- if he does at all.

Spoiler, he doesn't. At the start of the challenge he hides himself somewhere nearby and tries to play off his non-participation as his "invisibility". It doesn't work. Noah's not very torn up about it.
