And We Are Merely Players

25.May.2023 UPDATE - Thanks to AI scraping, my AO3 publications are now restricted to AO3 members only.

02.March.2024 UPDATE - This fic is now openly available on a secondary archive. Please don't make me regret it!

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

It's canon-parallel to the Corwin Chronicles, but heavily diverges in the lead-up to Patternfall, rendering much of the Merlin Chronicles obsolete.

Knowledge of the source material can be helpful and fun for the Easter egg factor, but isn't required. And I'm always happy to discuss my storylines / character castings, so feel free to drop me a line. Comments there are moderated for spam, not content, and engagement with my readers makes me want to write more!

[Including sidebar vignettes presented as embedded links / related works within the narrative, this series is technically closer to 174k words.

Also, there’s a soundtrack. 🎶❤️]

And We Are Merely Players: A (mostly) Canonical Soundtrack

I reference a LOT of music in my writing. Like, A LOT. This is a compilation of songs that were - culled for titles, - directly named within

Klezmer dolphins.

I don’t know that I’ve reblogged anything faster in my entire tumblr life.  

[onceuponamirror]

honestly they’re better than the band that played at my bat mitzvah

[fractalindigo]

I like dolphins.

I love klezmer.

But as a former band kid, this made me die laughing.

[Video description: Gritty is turning the crank on a flagpole to raise the Progress Pride Flag. He gesticulates angrily that the flag is not blowing in the wind, then gestures offscreen. The flag begins blowing. As Gritty begins raising the flag more, the camera pans out to show a man in a suit and sunglasses, looking like a stern Secret Service agent, is holding a leafblower that points at the flag. End description.]

“the recording is of a blackbird in my garden in the north of scotland. the idea of the piece is that it's a letter home from a migrated bird, telling the family of its new life and making the connection between the migrant and the homeland.” - jennifer cantwell

Book that was good: I liked it 👍

Book that was bad: this sucked 👎

Book that I wanted to like but which failed to live up to my hopes: I am going to write 10,000+ words explaining exactly why this book wronged me

[a-book-of-creatures]

I don’t know why I’m making it exclusive to books. Any other media too. Sometimes I forget that there are things other than books.

"Sunny Seaweed Surf"

Longtime readers may be aware of how much I relish an excuse to bully a company, so I'm sharing the wealth;

Clothing company Patagonia is currently suing drag queen Pattie Gonia for "irreparable” harm to their brand.

To be clear; Pattie named herself after the region in South America.

So Pattie is asking people to politely ask Patagonia to drop the lawsuit.

I'm extending the invitation to all of you, because suing a drag queen for 'infringement' in the current political cultural landscape is vile. Especially a drag queen who has raised millions of dollars for non-profits, uses her platform to raise awareness for climate activism, and fully aligns with Patagonia's apparent climate-conscious mission statement.

They're claiming they're suing for $1. They're actually asking her to stop using her name, and pay over $1 million in legal fees. They're straight up harassing her.

In contrast, drag queen Jan Sport has a Jansport bag line. It's that easy to just... work with a queen.

Anyway. Be respectful(ish), but feel free to be annoying on Patagnoia's socials, asking them to 'DROP THE LAWSUIT'

I think they have a twitter and tiktok too!

[jld-az]

Her call to action is a thing of beauty. She’s a class act and I’m proud of her for calling the company out.
