It’s the Zookeeper again, hi! Juuust having a minor panic attack because I have one more month to finish your gift…*glances at it*…aaaand it occurred to me we didn’t talk about Gloria. Or Mandy. I haven’t seen SGU so I’m just kinda ignore Mandy. Gloria I’m going to probably have unfortunately passed for a few years, enough that Rush isn’t doing that replacement thing you see sometimes. Thoughts? Suggestions? This is still in the works so I’d like some input, please.

Heya *waves*

Awww if it helps at all then I’m in the same boat, panicking away because how did it get to be April!?!?! Yeah I’m perfectly happy for you to ignore Mandy. I never shipped her and Rush, they were canon but I’d read too much Rushbelle by that point haha 🙂 As for Gloria I confess sometimes I ignore her as well.

I think you’re just doing a complete AU and not setting this within the Stargate verse right? So you won’t have this problem. If I write a Rushbelle fic which predates Destiny, then especially depending on how far I go back, Gloria then can’t ever have been in the picture otherwise they’d still be married – timeline problems. I guess what you do with Gloria might depend on how you want to characterize Rush.

My headcanon is that pre-Gloria (or pre-her death) Rush was still the same sarcastic bastard that we know and love. However, he was a bit softer, more willing to trust, didn’t have quite so many sharp edges. That’s not to say Rush isn’t always sweet with those he cares about because he is. I guess it would just give Rush a different set of concerns before starting a new relationship.

So whatever you choose is fine by me. I think your plan of ignoring Mandy, and having Gloria unfortunately passed away for several years, is a good one! 🙂

I have only two OTPs one doesn’t have really any material and the other only has given us scraps of a very painful pairing but both are my life

Must be nice to have an OTP that has many fans and lots of material because I’m alone in my shipper corner.

Hey anon *waves* thanks for the message 🙂

I’m really curious now. What are your OTP’s? You know I was only kidding when I said that I picked OTP’s that hurt me. I don’t think anyone actually picks their OTP’s. We don’t choose what we see that grabs us. OTP’s pick us and make us love them whether we want to or not.

So yeah I guess I am fortunate that I’ve only fallen for OTP’s that are canon, so there is a lot of material to work with. I hope that you have, or can find, at least one person that shares your ship. It’s lonely when there’s nobody to talk with, and to bounce enthusiastically off, when it comes to favorite things. Wishing you all the best anon!

Alas, your Zookeeper has not seen Lachlan in action. *sighs* Although, I have been meaning to try something with him…

Lachlan approves of this …

image

I have a Lachbelle WIP at the moment, which is being neglected horribly. I also have an idea for a Lachacy which I might attempt to have finished for Rumbelle Order in the Court. I don’t know if you saw the post that got reblogged around the fandom a little while ago. It said something along the lines of “the moment you’ve read all the fics and think ‘somebody should write more’ and then go ‘oh shit that somebody is me’” and that’s kinda what it’s like with Lachlan.

Well what it’s like probably with anyelle in general, there’s never enough so I fully support the writing of more! Seriously look at that face, and how can you not give him a Belle or a Lacey? So yes do try something with him! I will shamelessly enable you 🙂

It’s your Zookeeper here to ask about a Bobby of another breed: Is California Solo a movie tribute to the wonder that is Robert Carlyle in white shirts and feathery floof? Because, like, if so, mission accomplished.

image

Heya *waves* you pretty much have that right. California Solo is a slice of life film, so it’s very much about Lachlan and that’s it really. RC is in practically every frame. He does dress in a white shirt a fair bit, there’s the white t-shirt above and then the white shirt when he plays guitar and sings.

image

He often pairs it with a jacket.

image
image

Sometimes he swaps to the other end of the color spectrum and goes for a dark t-shirt.

image

Oh and there is one shot of I’m not sure what this is, a sweater maybe?

image

Oh and then there are the really patterned shirts.

image
image

I think that basically summarizes his wardrobe, and yes this was very much an excuse to post lots of gifs heh 🙂 Have you just seen California Solo then? Was it inspirational? When I know who you are will I find a Lachlan fic eventually on your masterlist heh 🙂 Anyway, I’m glad you are doing well. I hope you have a good weekend!

Oops – I didn’t mean to imply you couldn’t love both canon and fanon Rumbelle- sometimes it just seems as if most only love fanon (not that there’s anything wrong with that). I might be sensitive because I don’t lose myself in fan fic in general although I do love it and I love that it allows Rumbelle to continue after the show.

thatravenclawbitch:

There’s nothing wrong with just enjoying what’s on screen and not engaging with it further. But if I love something, I want to continue to engage with it past what’s on my screen on Sundays. And we’re discussing the hypothetical end of canon. If the show got a cancellation announcement tomorrow, there would be no more new canon. So what does the fandom do after that? Do we continue reblogging the same finite amount of gifs or do we create more for these characters whether that’s through art or fic or meta or whatever. I just feel like for a fandom to exist after a show or book or movie series ends, you have to keep creating.

Stargate SG1 has been cancelled for a decade but there’s still several very dedicated gifmakers for it on tumblr, that bring out new sets frequently. I’m only on the edges of that fandom so I don’t know much, but I do know they have weekly rewatches of the show and awards every year for fanart/fanfic.

So yeah I think fandom can keep creating, and keep existing. I hope that happens for Rumbelle, I don’t see why it can’t if enough of us want it.

When somebody goes through and likes a ton of your random ficlet prompts…

#i posted a lot of that last summer and it’s a bolt from the blue that makes me smile#it’s this sort of thing that really makes my day

Three Weeks from today the Rumbelle Fic tag will be filled with Legal-themed smut!!!!

rumbelleorderinthecourt:

Why, you ask?

Well … . Tuesday, April 11 is the Rumbelle Order in the Court event!

The basic prompt of this event is: Rumbelle (or Anyellle) have sex in an inappropriate legal setting.

Here is where you can find the Event Details.

Muse still not cooperating?  Here are some expanded Prompt Ideas for inspiration!

Got a question?  Our Ask
Box
 is open as always!

At this point, if you want to post any preview snippets from your work, and you want us to reblog it, please don’t forget to tag #rumbelleorderinthecourt so that we can find it!

Who’s panicking yet?  Who’s done and just counting down to the 11th?  Who is somewhere in between?  Who isn’t planning to create anything but they can’t wait to read/view all of the new and exciting smut!  (Yes, artwork is very much welcome – see details!)

Don’t forget to reblog and follow this blog and SPREAD THE WORD!!!!

You did not just say three weeks??? Where did the last three weeks go? I swear there was six weeks to go and I blinked. How dare time play tricks like that? *pouts*

I have one fic finished, and I’m hoping to finish another today. I have three more ideas on the list but I don’t know what I’ll manage of those. So definitely panic stations over here. Seriously how did it get to be three weeks? That is not cool at all!

1/2 For me I think your writing’s defining trait is the way you turn the regular tropes and plots and situations we see on their heads or how you twist them into something different. In your wish realm fics you had Belle under a sleeping curse by her own choice but she trusted in their love to wake her up. In PLL both Gold and Belle are a bit woobie, but Gold is still Gold. He’s not a version of spinner!Rum, he’s misanthropic and mired in his work. Even his exchanges with Neal are different.


2/2 – Instead of supporting and even pushing his father to a relationship with Belle, Neal is afraid that Gold will hurt Belle. Neal sees his dad for what he is and seeks to protect Belle from him rather than believing that she makes his dad better. Neal thinks he’s got problems, she’s got problems, and holy crap you two should not be together. So often Neal is the matchmaker or the protector of Rumple/Gold. Instead he’s protecting Belle. It’s interesting and different, as is all your work.

I don’t think there’s a gif in the world that can properly sum up my reaction to this. Thank you so much! This means everything to me.

What’s my writing trademark?

Your Zookeeper has most assuredly gone through your appreciation tag! :D Also: Holy Mary-Margaret Mother of Emma. *fans self* I’m gonna need to look up Mr. Russell now. If I were capable of putting GIFs in the ask box I’d use the “Mighty Need” Invader ZIM one [here], I think. X3

There, done it for you 🙂

Haha happy to bring people to the dark side with David Russell. I’m glad you are doing well Zookeeper and I hope you have a nice weekend!
