Today I am procrastinating so much, it is shocking. I have reached new levels of procrastination, it is quite bad.
Anyway, today my brain is looking at shiny gifsets on my dash and going … yeah that’s cool but you know that could be Rumbelled.
/headdesk
Must you Rumbelle everything brain? Like I saw this gifset of Vala Mal Doran (Stargate SG1) arriving at the SGC, and I wondered what it would be like if that was Lacey and then I was wondering who Gold would be in that scenario. He would probably take Daniel’s role, which then made me laugh imagining Gold and Lacey in Prometheus Unbound fighting and flirting with each other.
Also I just queued up a lot of Almost Human (I loved that show and I’ll forever be bitter it was cancelled – so much lost potential) and I shipped John Kennex/Valerie Stahl in that, and I was thinking that dynamic actually would work really well for Gold/Belle with Gold as the grumpy old-fashioned cop, and Belle as the chrome ignoring tradition to do what is right.
Seriously can somebody teach me how not to procrastinate? That would be great thank you 🙂
I’ve finished my Rumbelle is Hope drawing, well finished it to the best of my ability anyway. That’s a relief because I’m getting sick. Why can’t I get more than a few hours notice about when I’m going to be ill? Honestly my to do list is crazy long and I’m already feeling grotty. It’s likely just going to be a cold and so I shouldn’t grumble but it still sucks, it just saps all my energy.
Earlier I was writing some Rushbelle, I hoped to have it posted on Friday but that might not be happening. It’s going to be a long oneshot and I still have a lot to write. You know what the hardest part about writing Rushbelle is – the science babble. This is from what I was working on earlier:
“One last question Doctor Rush,” the
assistant organizer said soothingly, eyeing him warily.
“INSERT INTELLIGENT SOUNDING MATHS
QUESTION.”
“Well
… you see erm … the INSERT INTELLIGENT RESPONSE,” Rush stammered.
I did alright at maths in school but I only took it to GCSE, that would be probably junior high for the Americans? I was 16 anyway and that was a decade ago, so I’ve forgotten a lot and I never knew advanced stuff. Actually I take it back, the other really hard thing about writing Rushbelle is how snarky/insulting Rush is because I don’t know how to insult people’s intelligence, it’s not like I’ve ever had to do that.
I have five upcoming Rushbelle fics I think, that are in various stages of progress. So I hope that I find a way round these problems, or I’m going to have a lot of *insert something sensible* littered throughout the fic 🙂
I can supply your math needs… What kind of science is he working on? The maths might even make a little sense!
Erm *cringes* deciding that would probably be a good start wouldn’t it?
Heh I just found the advanced applied mathematics journal and yikes, I think I need a dictionary and that’s just for the titles. I have no idea what any of that means. You know I watched every episode of Numb3rs, I really liked that show but Charlie always did cute little analogies, rather than explaining what the squiggles on the board meant.
Basically I just want it to sound good. It’s not an attack on his work either, it’s just an intelligent question that shows she was paying attention. Although I do have another fic where she points out an error, I think I just made some vague statement about reversing the conditions there.
Anyway, sorry I’m not being helpful and you are being wonderful. I really don’t know what he would be working on. This is pre-stargate program, but it makes him look like a good recruit (spoiler alert, he gets recruited at the end of the fic) so something space related maybe?
Okay. Do you need actual equations or just technobabble? I’m sure they used lots of “Monte Carlo Method” while solving the gate puzzles. Also “frequency analysis”. “Polynomial methods” would not be helpful; but “Galois theory”, and “abstract algebra” would. You could have them argue about whether “field theory” or “group theory” would apply. I don’t think the Riemann Theorem would be helpful, but Wiles’ Proof of Fermat’s Theorem would be. And, of course, everyone is always talking about algorithms (usually about which one is better / more efficient / more elegant) and transformations.Particularly when things are getting laid across multiple dimensions. Hope this helps.
Technobabble and *jaw drops* wowzer – wow, I’m speechless. That is just wow, so impressive. You are my hero! I’m going to tag this post so I can find it repeatedly, no scratch that I’m going to copy it out into a notepad file and keep it in my Rushbelle folder. Thank you so much! Seriously you are a superstar 🙂
I’ve written a tantrum post and clicked “nevermind” at least a dozen times about my Rumbelle is Hope drawing. I can’t actually draw really and I have no confidence. I like it but I’m scared. There I said it. Anyway, it’s probably awful, but I think they are at least recognisable and it’s well intentioned.
You see, excuse me while I rant for a second, it’s the details that are driving me crazy. I just spent a ridiculous amount of time studying my hand holding a glove so I could work out how they were holding hands. Eyes, lips, ears etc. are all stupid hard for me. Today I tackled the hands, tomorrow I get to do the rest /groans heh 🙂
Have you seen the crap I put out on here and call fan art? You’ve got nothing to worry about. Really. Art is wonderful. We all want to see it and I’m certain we will enjoy it.
Don’t worry. Just post it. We’re here for you.
Your art is not crap! Sweet merlin it’s on a sketchpad, you’ve done that freehand with a pencil!!! That is just wow, I can’t even tell you how impressive that is. Seriously!
I have a graphics tablet and I cheat.
I did a really rough photo manip first to give me the base, then did a line drawing over it. I then deleted the photo and filled in the blanks.
I had to do the hands manually as the picture was too pixelated to see the detail but otherwise it’s tracing. Plus I can draw and redraw a 100x until I get it right and nobody knows because it’s digital and that leaves no evidence of mistakes behind. You are just wow!
Anyway, I really, really, really can’t tell you how much I appreciate your kind words. @leni-ba and @of-princes-and-savages as well, thank you so much. I have no confidence with this, and I am really so very grateful for how nice you are, and your words of support. Thank you 🙂
I prefer braille if I can get it. There’s something about the feel of paper beneath my fingers, and the reassuring weight of the book. However, audio is more widely available, especially with digital books because even if an audio version isn’t available, there are programs that can read the text.
Asking a book lover what is their favorite book, is like asking someone to choose between dozens of things they love equally. All books are different, and they suit different moods. When I’m sad I like to re-read happy books, where nothing really bad happens and it all ends well.
The rest of the time my taste is fairly eclectic, I adore the classics of course, but all books are valid. I’ve just finished a sci-fi series where a group of people were stuck onboard a very old alien spaceship. Next on my ‘to read’ list is a fairytale adaptation crossing between their world, and modern day. It sounds fascinating.
#so it was hard to know what to say because no book titles really came to mind sorry#this was a hard question because I’m not Belle and I love to write but I’m not much of a reader these days (I know that’s bad)
Synopsis: The phone in the library had always been silent, until one day it started ringing. Belle French answers it and discovers that life really can turn on a dime – or in this case a wrong number.
Note: I’m not very good at sitting on fic and this is fluffy. I was going to post it tomorrow and sit on the last chapter of Faith of the Heart in case I couldn’t finish my Rumbelle is Hope thing. However, it looks like I will finish it so enjoy all the fluff! 🙂
David Nolan
whistled softly to himself as he slammed the door to his truck. He jogged up
the path to the pink Victorian that his daughters best friend called home. He
rang the bell and checked his watch, he was slightly late, due to
procrastinating on his paperwork at the station. David liked being sheriff, he
just didn’t like all the forms that went with it. A moment later the door was
opened by a young woman, the town librarian if he remembered correctly.
“I’m Emma’s
father, here to pick her up,” David said, giving the woman a curious look. “I
was expecting Mr. Gold.”
“Oh, Alistair’s
with the children.” the woman laughed, causing David’s eyebrows to raise at her
use of what must be Gold’s first name. She frowned at his obvious confusion.
“I’m Belle French, Alistair’s girlfriend, your
wife didn’t tell you to expect me?”
I *so* needed this! See what happened when they got rid of Bae? Everything would be all right if Neal (Sr.) were still around!
Well seeing as I can barely go a chapter, let alone an entire story, without mentioning Bae/Neal – 110% yes! He was so damn important.
In my opinion, without Bae there would be no show, or at least not as we know it, because there would have been no dark curse. Rumple’s quest to find him kickstarted everything. I think I have one AU fic where there is no Bae, it’s hard not to write him. Anyway, I’m glad you enjoyed the fic, and that seven year old Bae made everything right in the end heh 🙂
Want more! Sleepover! Pony rides! Halloween! One of them finds a book of practical jokes and swaps sugar for salt, and greases doorknobs, and so on…
Pony rides? I suppose perhaps if a circus came to town, I can’t think how that would happen … actually there’s the stables isn’t there? So yeah I guess if Bae wanted riding lessons or something. Hmm ok, I will file this prompt away and get to it when I can 🙂
*hugs fic* This is such a great series! I love David trusting his own eyes more than he does gossip, and how he gently makes sure that MM realizes she’s been wrong (can we have this in canon?)
Emma was a treasure! I’ll never get tired of seeing a version of her as a child where she’s loved and has a family. *hugs lil’ Emma*
And, yay, family time at the cabin! And of course Gold knows it’s too soon to their the L-word around, so I’m glad bae pushed his dad in the right direction anyway. LOL bonus points for Belle for showing the kids how to bait their hooks. Bet that will be the thing they’ll delight in telling their classmates! “We took these worms and…” Yeah. lol Tks for the update!
Oh wow thank you so much, I’m really glad you like it 🙂 To be honest that is how I see canon David, except in the last couple of seasons he hasn’t spoken up, instead just following Snow – downside of sharing a heart perhaps? I don’t know, I hadn’t really thought about that before. Hmm.
Anyway, yeah I imagine the gross worms will be the high point of the day heh and yup if it wasn’t for Bae, Gold would probably still be thinking it was “too soon” months later. He is continually surprised by Belle because he is just waiting for the other shoe to drop, and for her to leave him, but instead she’s right there with him for every step forward. Gold is always expecting rejection and getting the opposite from Belle 🙂
Ask me anything about my fics, ask my characters anything. You can send me a word and if it’s in my WIP doc then I’ll post a teaser snippet. I accept prompts for any of my existing verses.
I have actually seen Sunday’s episode this week (that might not always be the case) so if you want to chat about it, feel free to hit up my askbox 🙂
This week I posted:
– Chapter Five of Transposing Digits
– Chapter Six of Faith of the Heart
I haven’t read any tumblr posts on this episode yet, and in all honesty I’m a little scared to see peoples reactions. I have to confess my immediate reaction to the episode wasn’t exactly what I would call favorable, because on the surface it really looks kinda bad. However, this is what headcanon was made to deal with.
I’m tempted to write a fix-it fic because I can think of a way to explain it and turn it positive. However, having written it all out here in theory form, I’m not sure I can be bothered ooops. Anyway, here’s my rambling thoughts on episode 6.04 – Strange Case.
You know what, I always have this paranoia that I’m going to forget something in my review and this time I did.
It’s an all important question really – do we know yet whether Robert Carlyle will be growing out his hair or will he be keeping it short?
He’d kinda let it grow out quite shaggy before he cut it or Trainspotting, so if it grows out then it would be more early season one Rush/season one Gold length. How long does it take for hair to grow? I know mine grows fast so I can’t really use that as a guide, but then I joke all my height went into growing my hair. If we get a seventh season it could be early Rush length by then maybe, I’m not sure.
the recent set pics suggest he is growing it out again or at least letting it get longer on top
Oh cool! I haven’t seen those. I miss stuff sometimes because I’ve stopped scrolling back through what happened when I was sleeping. That’s good to know 🙂

I’m tempted to write a fix-it fic because I can think of a way to explain it and turn it positive. I don’t think it was as bad as it sounds. However, having written it all out here in theory form, I’m not sure I can be bothered to write the fic – ooops. Anyway, here’s my rambling thoughts on this episode.
I’ve been really, really lacking in focus for the past few weeks, and not looking after myself at all. I think it was stressing over waiting for my exam results. Now that’s all over I had a couple of days when my energy levels were at rock bottom, but I’m feeling better today. Went for a run this morning and it felt great!
– Sprite –
Yay I’m glad you are feeling better and that the run went well! Go you 🙂
In my last post I said I was going to move onto week 4 of the Couch to 5k program. Well, I haven’t quite managed to make the leap. Week 3 is 2x “Jog 1.5 mins, walk 1.5 mins. Jog 3 mins, walk 3 mins.” and Week 4 is 2x “Jog 3 mins, walk 1.5 mins. Jog 5 mins, walk 2.5 mins.”
What I’ve managed to do is “Jog 3 mins, walk 1.5 mins. Jog 3 mins, walk 2.5 mins. Jog 3 mins, walk 1.5 mins” which means my walking time is what it should be, but I haven’t managed to break the 3 min barrier. I’m also missing the last part, as by the time I’ve done 3x “Jog 3 mins”, I just don’t have it in me to go again.
I’m not entirely sure whether to keep going with the 3 mins, and try to do 4x that first. Or whether it would be better to try and increase the 3 mins up to 5 mins first, and worry about doing more repetitions later. I suppose I’ll see what I can manage next week. If I feel like I can push on past 3 mins then I’ll do that, or I’ll try and add on a 4th jogging round at the end even if it’s only for 1.5 mins or something, it’ll still be a tiny bit of progress.
Just me, but if 3 mins is a block for you, I’d say try to push past it.
When it comes to jogging everything is a block for me haha. I am useless at it but yes I will try 🙂 Thanks for the advice!
I suppose back in August when I started this, jogging for just a minute at a time was difficult. So maybe I’ll tell myself I just need to do an extra 30 seconds or something at a time, and see how that goes. It’s a bit like with writing. Just a tiny little bit more doesn’t seem like a big deal but then it adds up.
