Prose Edda @eddathegreat - Tumblr Blog

Hello! I'm Edda.

This is kind of my all-purpose blog, though that may change. I'm active to semi-active in a wide variety of fandoms, reblog some things that I think are funny, and some occasional political stuff.

Common Tags I Use

#wildbow: my favorite author of various web serials. I've read Worm, Ward, Pale, Claw, and Seek, and the tags for those and related stuff makes up the bulk of my blog.

#media analysis: what it sounds like.

#funny: again, what it sounds like.

#politics: More US stuff than not, since I'm American. I'm trying to get better at tagging 'us politics' specifically.

#art: mostly fanart, but some other stuff too.

#life: relatable or applicable or even just personal stuff

YOU'RE THIRTY TWO??? YOu are so old. where's your wife and children. Shouldn't you be worrying about your job or something

I am a polymer chemist working in a research scientist role, getting ready to sell my house and move across the country while finding a new position aligned to my field. There is never a moment where I am not worrying about my job. This is also why my fanfics take so long to come out.

There was recently a copyright infringement case in YA and I need everyone to know that the following sentence was in the legal decision:

“Hot, sexy, dangerous boys, central to virtually all young adult romance novels, cannot be copyrighted.”

Today I was listening to Jane Goodall being interviewed and she said something I knew about but had forgotten. The whole reason she went off to Africa to study chimps in the wild was because she was madly in love with Tarzan. Huge fangirl!

"He married the wrong Jane!" she laughed.

But she was so caught up in the romance of it all that she literally went off to live with chimps at a time when field studies of wild animals simply did not exist, and women were not taken very seriously as scientists. And basically invented a whole approach to studying wild animals that is standard today, changed everything we know about chimps, and became one of nature's biggest champions.

Because she loved real animals and one fictional man.

So my dad was the assistant music editor on Tarzan, and idk if it was Bring Your Kid to Work Day or something but one day he did just that so there I was, this incredibly small 1st grader, in an absolutely cavernous recording studio with a full orchestra and a giant screen playing the scene they were taping the score for, and my little brain couldn't handle the big music and the big movie happening all at once so I started crying and it was the first time music ever brought me to tears and it was too much to take in so we stepped out of the studio and ran directly into Phil Collins, who looked to me very much like my dad, and in my delicate emotional state I became immediately convinced that my dad had been copied and nobody had told me so I started crying harder, and Phil Collins said something that was probably meant to be calming but it was with a British accent so I thought there was a copy of my dad in every country and I absolutely lost it at the notion that other kids would get to have my dad, and my dad ended up having to carry me back to the car.

So.

Sorry for crying very loudly at you Phil Collins, your work on Tarzan was so moving it triggered my first emotional breakdown.
