Looking For A Friend In The Dungeons

35 year old geeky and nerdy bisexual woman in a fuckton of fandoms. ENFP, Chaotic Good Libra. You may be right; I may be crazy. But I just might be the lunatic you're looking for... Spoonie. Chronic illness and pain. Ankylosing spondylitis. Blood clotting disorder. Epileptic. The resulting depression and anxiety sucks harder than Larry Craig in a Senate bathroom. My ask's always open to those who need it. It may take me a bit to get back to you if I'm ill (again), but I am here, and YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Liberal, intersectional feminist and believes that, while all lives matter, right now it's much more important to yell to the rooftops that BLACK LIVES MATTER. Pottermore theme by the incredible themesbyeris.

Good list. Winter’s Tale for a Romance?

that’s what I’ve been toying with. I’m thinking of maybe taking out 1 henry 4 and just do richard 2 for histories and adding a romance. 

[scathachiswaiting]

I thought of something, so I’ll try to be actually useful.

If you’re already thinking about Much Ado... you could leverage adaptations for that.

Some people are going to learn more visually. Some people are gonna be lazy jackasses and head straight to The Movie (if not Wikipedia). It does change being heard/seen vs. being read, due to the format, y’know? (I’m sorry. I’m stupidly preaching to the choir here.)

But there have been two very well-received adaptations of Much Ado About Nothing lately, and while I’d never take you for the “here, watch this, I’m taking a nap now” type, it may help the rhythm, cadence, wordplay really click for someone. And given that one was a stage adaptation done with a modern-day styling with David Tennant and Catherine Tate, and the other a movie with Amy Acker, Nathan Fillion, and pretty much everybody Joss Whedon’s ever worked with pre-MCU... it may make someone grumbling about “this guy is so fucking dead, why do I have to take this class?” more of a willingness to check it out and have that “click”. And once you have that, you can ride that in for all it’s worth. 

Not saying you should assign movies (or in the Tennant/Tate version, downloads). It’s more of a “If you choose to look at adaptations of this, THESE ARE RECOMMENDED. They’re also completely optional. Still reading the plays themselves; still testing you on THAT. You can gain some insight from those extra materials, but not all.”

Hope that didn’t entirely suck.

[danielle-writes]

Some advice for when you’re writing and find yourself stuck in the middle of a scene:

kill someone

ask this question: “What could go wrong?” and write exactly how it goes wrong

switch the POV from your current character to another - a minor character, the antagonist, anyone

stop writing whatever scene you’re struggling with and skip to the next one you want to write

write the ending

use a scene prompt

use sentence starters

read someone else’s writing

Never delete. Never read what you’ve already written. Pass Go, collect your $200, and keep going.

[bookcharactersthough]

This is the literal best writing advice I have ever read. Period.

[mbrainspaz]

Kill someone.

Reblog if you've formed a meaningful relationship with someone you met online.

[thepeacockangel]

I married someone I met on line

[scathachiswaiting]

I married someone I met online too. And, in a statement that will come with the prefaces of “it was in its really early days, alright?”, “I just signed up because you had to for the stupid fucking quizzes and I was bored”, and “I am totally going to be the only person to say this”...

Met him on OKCupid.

[scathachiswaiting]

I just got reminded of this, so I’m going to tell another stupid story. 

(Everyone else: “SHIT! *scrollscrollscroll)

I used to be the bawss of the front office of a medical practice (unfortunately, of the only fucking specialty that I actually NEED). It was an extremely specialized field, and the patients were 99.9999999% geriatric. Old enough to fart dust.” This was something we never quite minded.

The staff at that location was me, another woman who I fucking hated (every office has That Person, this was ours) doing admin work, about 4 nurses, and 2 docs. I loved one nurse to death. He was hilarious. Always made my day better. And he was happily, proudly out gay guy.

So one day he was clutching a chart and running around like a toddler on speed. More than usual. And he ran up and whispered “OHMYGODOHMYGOD, CHECK THE FUCKING WAITING ROOM!”

Cue extraordinarily hot guy in his twenties. Picture Westley from The Princess Bride. Now TURN IT UP TO ELEVEN. Seriously, THAT hot.

After muttering “I will fuck you up if you steal my patient” to everyone else, business resumed. 

An hour later, he came back out with the chart and an “I hate the world” face on.

Me: Holy shit, what happened?!?

Him: *slaps down chart and points to medications*

...Valtrex.

I proceeded to lose it.

Okay but Steve could have lifted Mjolnir. He gripped the handle, and Mjolnir sensed that Steve was worthy and good. So it jolted. But I think Steve was suddenly like “OH GOD I DO NOT WANT TO BE THE GOD OF THUNDER AND WEAR A CAPE I’M CAPTAIN AMERICA” and Mjolnir felt this hesitation and stopped.

Everything was aligned, but Steve didn’t want to lift the hammer. He wasn’t ready. But I think Mjolnir gave the little jolt just so Steve will remember to try again when the time is right.

[darthstitch]

THAT EXPLAINS IT

[scathachiswaiting]

In the comics, Steve *is* worthy of lifting Mjolnir and *does*.

There are quite a few theories as to why it budges in the movie but doesn’t fully come up, but I like this best.

Partially because you can meld it with Edna Mode yelling about what happens to superheroes with capes and wedge in Nick Fury yelling “WOMAN, WHERE’S MY SUPER SUIT?: if you play around enough.

[scathachiswaiting]

Please forgive me the Internet sin of reblogging myself, but this just *heh* hit me.
