#why have a life when you have a stargate

[fuckyeahgoodomens]

Terry wrote to me and he said  ”You have to do this ”- he began this email, I went back and looked at it the other day -  ”I know how busy you are, but you are the only person who has the same understanding of and passion for the old girl that I do, so you got to do it ‘cause I want to see it.” And I said yes. And very shortly after, Terry died. So now he couldn’t see it.

So I had to make the thing that he wanted, which meant it became kind of a mad passion project. The things that if it was a me-project I would’ve given away on, things I wouldn’t have held the line on like some kind of a mad-eyed prophet.

Suddenly I’m going ”No, you cannot take this out. This is going to be in there. Because Terry wrote that scene and he would have wanted to see it, so it’s in there.” And they’re like ”Oh, but do you know how much money we could save if you don’t actually see Agnes Nutter being blown up and arrested and dragged to the stake, we got this idea,” said an early bunch of producers who later left, ”that we could have woodcuts and the narrator explaining what happened. Isn’t that just as good?”

And I sort of mentally run that by the ghostly Terry Pratchett in the back of my head, it’s like: ”Terry, is that just as good?” And he’s like: ”Fuck ‘em.”

UNSCHEDULED OFFWORLD ACTIVATION

[humansofnewyork]

“My dad brought me here at the age of seven. My mom stayed back in Jamaica, so it was just me and him. He was very strict. It was cultural, mostly. He’d served in the military back home.  So he controlled all areas of my life, school, sports, socializing. Nothing was ever enough for him: not the first place medals, not the honor roll, nothing.  He tried hard to break me down. He’d wake me up at 3 AM to go running. He’d make me kneel on the floor all night. And he’d never let me speak back. He intimidated me into silence. I left the house when I turned eighteen. I got a job as a pharmacy tech.  I got my own apartment, but I still lived nearby. One day I was driving to work, and I saw him walking to the bus stop.  So I pulled over and picked him up. The ride was only ten minutes. But there was a different energy. He actually talked to me. And he let me talk back. He told me things about his life. He talked about how stressed he felt.  Things got better after that day. I’d occasionally drop by the house. I introduced him to my girlfriend. He’d tell jokes and laugh. We were beginning to form a relationship. On the morning he died, I actually drove past the crime scene without realizing it.  My phone was turned off because it’s not allowed at work. When I finally turned it on, I had several missed calls from him. Each time he left a voicemail: ‘Alex, pick up,’ ‘Alex, please come get me,’ ‘Alex, I need a ride.’ The only time he didn’t leave a voicemail was the very last call. He’d been shot in the neck while walking to the bus stop. I always wonder if the last call was while he was bleeding out. The next few months were surreal. I felt like I was sleepwalking. And I felt responsible. He’d called me for a ride and I’d been right around the corner. I ended up quitting my job.  I went to a recruiter’s office. And I punished myself the same way he’d have done it: I joined the Marines.”

Arthur x Sadie Epilogue AU Headcanons. (Spoilers Ahead)

basically the same events of the game but Everything Turns Out Fine™

Bounty hunting was Sadie’s idea after the gang fell apart. She has always worked better as a two-person unit so, with Arthur, it was like falling into step. 

Arthur’s extremely respectful when it comes to Sadie fighting her own battles. He knows when she can handle herself, and vice versa.

Whenever a bounty target says something untoward to Sadie but wants to beg and plead and apologize to Arthur for their freedom after they get caught, he often says, “I ain’t the one you should be beggin’ for forgiveness, feller. You save those apologies for the lady.”

Their relationship was a slow burning one.

Arthur realized the exact moment he was in love with her when she was combing her hair with her fingers on a hazy morning. 

Paired with a drawing of her, he wrote, “I wanna marry this woman” in his journal and underlined “marry” three times.

Arthur understood how important the Adler name and Jake are to her. Sadie taking his name was her choice and her final way of closing that chapter.

He takes every chance he gets at referring to her as “Mrs. Morgan” bc he’s so proud.
