top five : characters you've written, characters you didn't write, videogames, old songs?

put “top 5” anything in my ask and i will answer ok go

i’m giving this the caveat of recently because oh boy am i an indecisive bean, and these are in no particular order! under the cut because this got lengthy.

CHARACTERS I’VE WRITTEN :

EDWARD: edie, my alien son. it was at once very strange and very fun to write a character who didn’t know how to connect on a human level, simply due to... not being human. i didn’t get to write him as often as i’d like to, given a lot of real life factors while retired was running, but i’m happy ( read: honestly kind of emo but satisfied ) with how his story turned out. the moment of bonding with dante after all those years? the confession to will that he’s been trying to be him for so long? the blue slushee left on eve’s doorstep before he left to go help somewhere else? i still think about all the little moments because they mean a lot to me.

CADELL: sometimes i like getting knee deep in lore and that was the case for cadell. i have loved the chronicles of prydain since i was a kid, so i this was true twice over. he fits into a mix of disney, alexander, and folklore canon and i had a lot of fun thinking about the implications of decaying magic on someone who was trying to live, as well as the relationship of power when tradition demands violent transitions. am i still mad about the fact that demilich means what it means when it should be called archlich? yes.

CHARLEY: charley is a character from a “ weird western ” dnd / written rpg hybrid i’m currently in ( it wasn’t intentionally so, but when you have a group of recent english major grads playing together sometimes the writing just... happens ). it’s set in a fantasy universe, with magic, but with the aesthetics of the old west, and charley is just.. honestly a gem. he’s a high wis / low int fighter who’s just trying his best to take care of his family, and is currently trying to deal with how he feels about discovering the fact that his sister is part of a notorious gang of bank robbers. 

ALIZEH: i’ve only just started playing alizeh, but i really love her? this is another instance of me really enjoying digging into the research part of writing a character i believe, as i enjoyed spending time trying to weave together her current story with the story of the god she is personifying. additionally though, i like trying to get insider her head as she, someone who’s always in control, watches as the world changes into something she was unprepared for. she’s going to have to adjust, but she’s so obsessed with her own narrative that i’m not sure she will. 

GREGOR: dr. adair really is a whole lot and i love him for it. i loved researching aliens and the related topics to play him, and i hope that he gets to a place where he’s more comfortable with himself soon.

CHARACTERS I DIDN’T WRITE :

KAEL’S ARTHUR: artie was fun, and sometimes that’s all a character really needs to be. however, kael did not stop there, because artie wasn’t just fun. it was very clear why artie was the way he was, and i just really appreciated that. pirates didn’t go as expected but artie was definetly a gem to come out of it.

KAY’S BETH: i wrote more with eve, but beth was so fascinating. the part that sticks with me is how you talked about what you expected beth to be, versus what she actually became, and i think she just felt very real because of it. 

ROZ’S TANGO: i don’t think i’d ever seen a character like tango in a group before, and i’m glad that roz was the one i saw do this. i think it would be incredibly easy to take this and turn it into a bit of a gimic but i... i just loved tango. the fact that i got emotionally attached is evidence enough, but i think the thought that clearly went into the character should be acknolwedged as well.

LILAH’S JACKIE: so jackie existed for all of two minutes anywhere except our discord server and i don’t care, i love this woman so much? that is all, thank you.

and the fifth spot goes to all the fantastic characters i’ve written with this year but that i lack the brain power to remember cause my memory is shit.

VIDEO GAMES :

i’m not much of a videogame person, honestly! i pretty much exclusively play STARDEW VALLEY currently and not much else. i waste too much time on those idle phone games too. 

OLD SONGS :

i wasn’t sure how we were qualifying old songs so i just did anything that was pre 2000!

THE PRETENDER by jackson browne

THE WANDERER by dion ( less for the song, but more for the fact that this past year i lived in an apartment with 7 people and one of the people there would always clean on saturday mornings and this song was on his playlist so i heard it a lot, and it’s like a nice memory of waking up to music playing, people being around, and the knowledge that we’d all be going to breakfast together soon. can you tell i miss social interaction? )

ANGEL FROM MONTGOMERY by bonnie raitt 

WATERLOO by abba

LAYLA by eric clapton ( specifically the mtv unplugged version )

NO ONE CAN DENY THAT THESE ARE DIFFICULT TIMES. When news first spread of the state-sanctioned partnership between the Bolshoi and the New York City Ballet, the world held its breath. Now, December marks the three-month anniversary of the Americans first arriving in Moscow. Premiering a new rendition of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake, they hope to show the world an emerging new confidence between the U.S. & U.S.S.R. — no one has to know what secrets each tries to keep hidden. In times of uncertainty, it is the mask you wear which keeps you alive. Play your part, and do it well, they’re WATCHING.

PAS DE DEUX is an upcoming, literate, skeleton roleplay inspired by The White Crow, Red Sparrow, Tinker Toy Solider, The Man From U.N.C.L.E and spy movies in general. ✦  The RP will focus heavily on character / plot development by exploring themes such as the cost of war, defining virtue, beauty & aestheticism as deference, and the difficult choice between duty, loyalty, and love.

hold my hand and tell me that you don’t see the dried blood between my fingernails. look into my eyes and tell me that you see life in them; thrumming and thriving and throbbing. kiss me and don’t tell me that i taste like poison and something worse. love me and tell me that i’m good for you.

lie a little better (take a break, atlas #12)

the spotify wrapped needs to adjust for mental breakdowns. if i played a song 300 times in 1 day and then NEVER again it should not qualify for my top song of the year 🙄

I was rewatching the Henry Crabgrass scene, because its amazing, and I’ve come to the conclusion that meeting Jester must feel like being Dorothy and walking out into the Land of Oz for the first time. Like, Vex had this incredible passive perception, and it feels like this campaign Laura decided to invent a character with massive passive persuasion instead.

I mean it really says something about Laura’s acting abilities and general creativity, because Jester can just do things no other player could dream of, and often has. She’s gotten, in canon, several characters to fall in love with her, and to our knowledge, is totally unaware of this. She’s kept a weasel alive that we all know deep down shouldn’t be. She got Essek Thelyss to be endeared to her despite not being a wizard, and to my mind, that’s fucking incredible. She’s convinced she can get her estranged mom and dad back together parent-trap style, and judging by her last conversations with both of them, it might just work.

The tricking of the Hag may be the greatest moment in Critical Role’s entire run, and only Jester (and by extension, Laura Bailey) could both think that would work and be capable of making it work, stats be damned. Think about the moment during Traveler Con where Artagan is getting pulled away; it’s not the fact that Jester loves him that he gets released, but instead that he loves her. The sheer magic she just brings into the world around her is so intense, that she literally asks the grass what happened to her old friend’s body, and with a charming personality and a remarkable memory for a weed, it tells her exactly what she needs to know. Disney Princesses ain’t got nothing on her.

And it’s remarkable that you have this character who has so many people willing to die for her, kill for her, drop everything and do anything for her, and the consequences of this great power, this great burden, could not possibly be held in better hands. It could not be given to anyone less likely to abuse it for anything more that some mostly harmless pranks. And it’s not that she’s perfect. because she has plenty of flaws (her jealous streak and inability to take her hurts as seriously as everyone else’s most prominent among them); but her incidental charm, and let’s be honest, Laura’s incredible acting, just sort of draw your eyes away from them, so you have to work against your own impulses to ever notice them in the first place.

Maybe its the Universe balancing itself for Laura’s terrible luck with her dice. Or maybe Matt is just as charmed as the rest of us.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT WHEN YOU’RE WRITING YOUR DOCS & PAGES THAT PUTTING SEVERAL SPACES BETWEEN INDIVIDUAL WORDS IS REALLY INACCESSIBLE.

this goes especially when paired with certain fonts. i understand wanting to maintain an aesthetic, but when it’s at the price of other people being able to read or process what you wrote, it just isn’t good. 

i don’t even have a reading disability, but i do have serious processing and focus issues as well as overstimulation issues. i find that i am completely unable to connect or understand what you’ve written because i’m expending so much effort trying to read the font and spacing itself.

okay but like deathless is so enlightened… when madame lebedeva teaches marya about makeup it’s like a crash course in the idea of femininity as performance and performance as an extension of one’s will… for marya, femininity is a cage she feels she has been put in, a role she has been forced to play; in order to achieve some semblance of freedom, she had to wait for a husband to come the door, she had to put herself into the hands of a man, and she has found that that, too, is a cage… koschei literally tells her that he is going to take her will… but now here is this woman, a friend, a mentor, telling her that these are all just roles to play — devoted wife, wily seductress, innocent princess — costumes of womanhood that she can put on and take off whenever it suits her, whenever she wills. she can make anyone think anything of her, can make herself into whatever she needs to be — her performance says, “i will not be denied.” and she’s then able to trick others into believing she is the fearsome and legendary baba yaga just with the makeup and clothes and perfume she wears, just because she performs it, just because she wills it. but it’s still not enough for marya!!! she can dress up as a commander of armies, as the foreign wife of a soldier, as a dominatrix keeping a man chained up in her basement but it’s still all for other people, it’s all for men… she laments to koschei that “nothing in me was not made by you”… she can put on all these different roles and will several different versions of herself into being but none of them are true, they were all versions of herself meant to be seen by someone else. and the author, catherynne m. valente, as well as the audience, knows that this is because marya is a fairy tale character created to precisely to be seen, and to teach a lesson to children, but valente takes this character and makes her real, makes her long for an identity of her own — but it’s an identity she will never have, because she was born a woman, born to be consumed by others…. even when she takes the job as an officer — an agent of a government controlled by men, fighting in a war started by men — alongside ushanka, another woman, it turns out that ushanka is just an illusion, just another performance, too. in the end, marya finds some semblance of peace by reconciling all the roles she has ever played, all the girls she has ever been, as different parts of her, different parts of a whole, but what does that say about womanhood that she is merely the sum of her perfomances??? the ending is bittersweet; the story must continue, she must keep playing her parts. “you still have to wake up every morning. you still have to live.”

tl;dr catherynne m. valente wrote a powerful fable paralleling the way fictional woman in fairytales are reduced to their roles to the way real life women are confined to the performance of femininity and some of y’all just wanna make edits of marya and koschei being “dark” and “edgy”
