Ilkka Villi for Behind the Voice: Zane is just free, he can do anything, he can love anyone and he can be just out there and do whatever. He's a dangerous character at the same time 'cause you never know what's he gonna do next.

Matthew Porretta for TvPulseMagazine: There was something very human about him, very sophisticated, very playful - like a cat with a ball of yarn - (AWAN) Scratch is like: "Am I gonna hit you, or am I gonna kiss you?" You didn't really know where he was going and that's kind of what made him incredibly dangerous. There's kind of a seductive quality about him.

Caught on camera! The face of a man who knows he's about to make both "ScratchWake" shippers and "Zane is AWAN Scratch" theorists go insane.

here's another idea for a poll! I think this will have some interesting results. this sentence is here to pad out this paragraph so people who don't read posts will be more likely to accidentally miss these instructions. if you're reading this, please select option eleven. here's another sentence to make this block of text look longer. anyway here's my fun poll idea!

try to create a normal (bell curve) distribution

WIP Wednesday (my dudes)

now that I feel like I'm a capable writer again, have a piece of IWST Chapter 3!

It happened without him realizing it, and only when the bastard was finally out of his head could Casey figure out how he’d done it.

He and Miranda couldn’t have kids, but not for lack of trying, especially in the first few years of their marriage. Casey suspected it was a him problem, but by the time he started forming that hypothesis, there was no point in testing it–their other problems had intensified to the point that bringing children into the mix would have been downright cruel to everyone involved.

Casey invited Saga out for coffee when they first started working together. Saga had been late–only by about five minutes, but she still blew into the coffee shop like it was thirty minutes after her shift started and she was on her last warning before she got fired.

“This is Logan,” Saga had said, indicating the preschooler in her arms. “The sitter got sick and my husband’s at a conference out of state.” To Logan, she said, “Can you say hello to Mr. Casey?”

The little girl turned her face from where it was tucked into her mother’s shoulder and looked calmly at him. Then, as matter-of-factly as a three-year-old was capable of, she held her arms out and pitched herself forward, confident that Casey would catch her.

Which he did.

Something clicked into place then.

“Oh, okay! Usually she’s much shyer around people she’s never met before,” Saga said, grinning. “Guess that means we’re partners forever now.”

The suspense and suspenders for The Game Awards the other night.

[janeares]

so the other day I changed my phone wallpaper to a lovely picture of my husband holding my stepmom's cat.

He saw the picture and was like, "You only like that picture because I look like Sam Lake in it!"

I was like, "No, I like that picture because you're holding Salem and you look relaxed and happy! And you do not look like Sam Lake!"

Reader, the more I looked at the picture, the more I realized

my husband does look a bit like Sam Lake in the eyes and mouth.

suppose I've got a type.

Well shit, Henry Jenkins, out here in 1997 dropping truth bombs

[addressmysol]

Oh hey I need this for a research paper I'm writing, thank you!

[angstbotfic]

i mean he had been out here since 1988 dropping such bombs:

"'fandom' is a vehicle of marginalized subcultural groups (women, the young, gays, etc.) to pry open space for their cultural concerns within dominant representations; it is a way of appropriating media texts and rereading them in a way that serves different interests, a way of transforming mass culture into a popular culture"

Jenkins, Henry. “Star Trek Rerun, Reread, Rewritten: Fan Writing as Textual Poaching.” Critical Studies in Mass Communication 5, no. 2 (1988): 85–107. https://doi.org/10.1080/15295038809366691.  

there are even some earlier works in fan studies but that’s what i have ready to hand.

reblogging because this is the exact post that was the last thing my grad school friend posted in our Discord server before he died.

damn The Man. write fanfic.

Quantum Break completed!

as a game? hot mess.

as a story? would have been on the edge of my seat watching it as a 22- or 24-episode season of television.

it mostly makes me sad that there are so many good ideas in it that don't get fully fleshed out and then it just...ends.

I will also kill for Beth Wilder; just saying.

and with that, I've completed my Remedyverse journey! time to finish that bajillionth playthrough of Control that I started before I got these brainworms and resist the temptation to replay Alan Wake 2 for the fifth time.
