Are any of your characters based on real people? What’s a pairing (romantic or platonic) that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind?

Hey *waves* thanks for the ask! 🙂

Are any of your characters based on real people?
No. Now if the question was “are any of your characters inspired or influenced by other characters”? Then yeah absolutely! I’m not talking about the fact that it’s fanfic and therefore based on characters either. Take Between Two Fires for instance – hello Jack and Irina from Alias. The Price We Pay morphed into something else eventually but I had Mia from The Princess Diaries in mind originally. Still rumbelle of course but there’s scenarios and facets from others in there too.

What’s a pairing (romantic or platonic) that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind?
Erm wow this ones hard. Exposure to pairings have made me love them more but I don’t know if I’ve ever changed my mind completely. My opinions usually just get reinforced. That isn’t always the case with everything. Tumblr has persuaded me to give entire shows a second look (Farscape being a case in point) but I don’t think that’s happened with pairings.

Sorry I guess I’m too stubborn /shrug

TMI Tuesday

You know what? I want to join in the fun again 🙂 Even better I’m actually here, all day so far as I know, for like the first Tuesday in forever!

ASK ME THINGS 🙂

I have some ask list things – ask the writer and just ask me things.

I actually posted a thing! – The Wedding Job *falls over* I know it’s been a year – literally. Here’s hoping it’s not a one-off and instead the start of moar things.

So yeah blow up the old askbox, let’s have some fun! 🙂

Whaaaat???!!!!

I just googled Infinity War DVD release date as my dash has so many gifs and I feel an anti-football rant coming on.

Google tells me …

US digital release: July 31st, DVD: August 14th

UK digital release: August 20th, DVD: September 3rd.

As far as I can remember this delayed home media release didn’t happen before hence my suspicion about the bloody football.

Usually the UK gets marvel movies a week earlier than the US. I have been known to joke that it is our one compensation as we have to wait a year or more for everything else BUT with Ant-Man and the Wasp – WE STILL DON’T HAVE IT! Reports say the date was pushed back a month because of the World Cup and nobody would go to the movies when the football was on.

So delay one marvel movie = delay them all?

Wheee I actually did things today eventually. Slow start but fic got proofed and posted *falls over* but but but! Far more importantly I actually read and reviewed a fic.

Monday you are hired! (As opposed to the usual firing hehe) 🙂

I want to keep this going. Review more fics! Also on the list for tomorrow is some drawing, it has been far too long.

Oh and I know I probably should be sorry (but I’m not) at how stocked my queue is with The Librarians. I’m just overflowing with love for it right now.

Come back alive librarian!

I just found the start of a Lady Sif ficlet on my HD that I’d forgotten all about. I started it in January apparently

“There was something wrong with Odin”

aka I wanted to explain why Lady Sif wasn’t kicking Hela’s butt in Thor: Ragnarok. It is utter rubbish, I think I’ve forgotten how to word.

So last week was a total bust because it was so hot and the heat triggered migraines and just ugh, total washout.

*cross fingers* this week will be better! It’s going to be August and I need to do things!

Also I love The Librarians and not binge watching it is so damn hard. I have maybe 15 episodes left – ever – and I just want to watch but then that’ll be it and I don’t want it to ever be it. Why can’t good shows just go and go? Why do they ever have to be over?

#TenSeasonsWouldn’tBeEnough

especially actually because The Librarians were 10 episode seasons – just not fair. Why am I falling for shows with half-seasons lately?

I had genuine intentions to do stuff honestly but I’m fortunate that the stuff isn’t vital so I can sit and boil instead.

33 with very little breeze, high humidity and no AC. It’s like being smothered in a thick hot duvet and there is no escaping it.

Thought of the day: Natasha could lift “the hammer of Thor” if she tried.

Why do I think this?

Because she’s a reformed villain.

My theory on the “worthiness test” is basically – “can this person be corrupted?” 

With what we now know about Hela Odin must have been terrified when Thor ran off to Jotunheim and “father, we can finish them together!” because Thor had so easily fallen into the slippery slope, road to hell is paved with good intentions trap. Maybe that’s how Odin’s conquest of the nine realms started, he was always talking about “bringing peace to the nine realms” and haven’t we all heard the “but it’s for their own good” argument?

There’s that line in Age of Ultron, Wanda said re: Tony “he will do anything to make it right” and when push comes to shove, what would good people NOT do in order to protect those they care about? Good people have more to lose. They can get corrupted by the shifting sands, and the compromises, but those who have already been tempted, who have stared into the abyss and walked away? Those are worthy because what is left to corrupt them?

That’s what Thor learned and why he became worthy. When I first watched the movie I couldn’t see a difference between him at the start and at the end. I was like “all he did was sacrifice himself/fight a monster, what was different?” but it wasn’t the physical, it was the mental. He’d essentially learned consequences if you like. Man I’m explaining this badly.

I just mean that reformed villains have been tested. They walked away from the dark side. They can fight corruption because they know it and that makes them worthy aka more trustworthy to stay good, than good people who could go dark to save those they love.

I am so so so relieved that Agents of Shield got a season six. There were a lot of callbacks and everything was wrapped up so the season five finale would have been a fitting end but …

I’M CRYING

Like actual tears running down my face, chin trembling, lump in my throat, the whole nine yards.

TOO SAD

I knew it was coming, I was thoroughly spoiled, and it still hit me like a freight train. I can’t handle these feels.

Now I know why the hiatus is so long. They had to give us a year to try and get over it. Who am I kidding? #NeverGettingOverIt

Right time to step up and accept my public humiliation.

*bows head in resignation*

I said failure wasn’t an option and there’s a week left in the month and yeaaah not going to happen. I’m talking of course about the long neglected Painting Layers of Love. I must have been having an optimistic moment BUT I might be having one again *braces self*

It’s energy-sapping hot so I must be crazy but I just time blocked my calendar. I’ve done this before (to no avail). This time I’m following the “Rule of 3 system” that I watched a video on last night. Nothing has done the trick so far in getting me productive but I live in hope.

It was a very good video actually. I felt like it was talking to me when it said things like – “don’t try and do too much at once” because yeaaah. When I decide I want to ‘do better’ I tend to go all-in 0-lightspeed (forget 0-60) and so predictably it falls apart.

This time I’m just going to try and build 1 habit at a time. The first one I picked to instil in myself is “review a fic at least 3x a week” because I’ve been so rubbish at reading and I feel terrible about it.

I’m also only going to look at one fanfic this week. I’m going to go over the edits the always-wonderful Marie sent me for this oneshot I wrote. I may even *gasp* post the thing. It’s not Painting Layers of Love but hey any forward motion at this point is welcome and knocking something small off the list seems sensible.

Next Monday I’ll review what I managed this week and then plan the upcoming week. We’ll see what happens. *fingers crossed*
