My Name Is A Bad Pun

Shy/24/Ladycreature. I follow often and reblog rarely. Much like an infant, I like bright colors and music. Sometimes I talk about mental health, particularly my own, which is not great. I identify as Queer. You do not have to, but I do, and you won't take that from me. My opinions are not always particularly popular, but I don't really care. I try hard to remember to tag for trigger and spoilers, but everyone slips up sometimes. Mobile Links

The next time somebody gives you shit about your late autism diagnosis, remember that Anthony Hopkins was diagnosed as autistic when he was 70 years old. 

People can go almost their whole lives and never know they’re autistic, but recognize they feel different from their peers.

And BTW Anthony Hopkins stims by rubbing his hands together, and being autistic is exactly why he’s such a good actor. He studies people’s mannerisms with an analytical mind, adopts those mannerisms for characters and turns out awesome performances. He’s a chameleon.

And he’s one of us, autistic community.

Now that i think about it, if avengers and the mcu took place in the 90s who would eddie murphy play? like there is no way he’d play a supporting character esp to a white guy in the 90s….hmmm he’d probably audition and try hard for t’challa, but they’d probably give him blue marvel…but that character didn’t exist in the 90s…and there is no way he’d play Hiemdall lmao.

[chipper671740-deactivated202006]

is filling out tax forms for fanfic characters, to make sure you didn't accidentally write them living beyond their means, too obsessive?

I mean last week I browsed google scholar trying to find details about the composition of ancient Byzantine shampoo and ended up google translating an article written in Hungarian, so. You’re probably fine, nonnie. We’re all quirky here.

[chipper671740-deactivated202006]

Friends, please reblog and tell me what is the most obsessive detail you’ve researched at length for fic writing purposes!

[thatgirlnevershutsup]

It’s a tossup between research on transatlantic travel in the latter part of the 19th century, and research on orcas in Sea World.

[edenfalling]

Probably sluice gate construction and installation methods, for field drainage in Tudor England… and/or the life stages of various bloodborne parasites and their attendant bacteria plus the comparative structures of avian and mamalian lungs, so I could design a superficially plausible xenobiological plague vector.

I once spent 3+ hours researching bird species of the Himalayas to come up with the phrase “the little brown bird.”

I’ve read a ton of dusty Victorian medical guides, so I could tell you a lot about the hilariously bad snake oil cure-alls that got advertised back then, or various home cures for stuff like snake bites or burns, or phrenology, or how masturbation causes the “brain softening”.

[cameoappearance]

I now know a moderate amount about alcohol-based fuel cells - I spent several hours on a Wikipedia binge - because I needed to come up with a power source for robots that would be shelf-stable enough to still work after being left out in the woods for 12 years. (This one was technically for RP, and it hasn’t even come up so far.)

[blackkatmagic]

I technically know how to build a sloop from the 1800s, from raw timber. And I once spent six hours researching how an arc reactor would hypothetically work in real life so I could write one sentence of technobabble and make it sound legit.

[kyanve]

1800′s Italian legal standards on a scattershot of different things.  Thanks to a couple of RP things, I know way too much about dumb daily life things/mundane legalities/etc. for 1800′s Italy and 1600′s Germany.  

Also I could probably do basic maintenance on antique firearms now.  

[measured-words]

Pooossibly a tossup between implanted RFID technology I did for a crackfic about smuggling data in a dog’s microchip, and intensive research about Luddites and early industrial revolutionary weaving technology I did for worldbuilding in a regency-era Changeling: the Dreaming fic.  Jacquard looms are freakin’ cool!

[aflinley]

For a generations-spanning ghost story with @rivendellrose, I printed out blank US census records for 1880 - 1930 and filled them out, not only with the central family, but with the info of all the neighbors. 

[gabolange]

Five different translations of psalm 39.

None of which made it into the story. 

[shyfighter-blog1]

Not quite as fun as most of these but I once wrote a story set only two years before the time of writing and I spent several hours looking up things like ‘which movies were in theaters in July of 2013′ and ‘what day of the week was August 22nd’ and referencing a map of a specific college campus as well as a list of it’s dorms and clubs. Because, you know, someone was totally going to notice if I got Freshman move in day wrong.

a few weeks back i looked up the source of “we deserve a soft epilogue, my love” because it’s such a lovely, evocative line and i wanted to know the name of the poet who wrote it and it was. from captain america fanfiction.

[softpluto]

“in whatever manner it comes to be, love is never wrong, especially between one who has so much of it to give, and one so desperately in need of it” is from a naruto fanfic we’re living in a web of lies

“I pick up the knife” is now a mini-meme among my party and obviously it just means “I did something impulsive and now it’s going to take two sessions to solve.”

oh! I have to tell you guys a great story one of my professors told me. So he has a friend who is involved in these Shakespeare outreach programs where they try to bring Shakespeare and live theatre to poor and underprivileged groups and teach them about English literature and performing arts and such. On one of their tours they stopped at a young offenders institute for women and they put on a performance of Romeo and Juliet for a group of 16-17 year old girls. It was all going really well and the girls were enjoying and laughing through the first half - because really, the first half is pretty much a comedy - but as the play went on, things started to get quiet. Real quiet. Then it got up to the suicide scene and mutterings broke out and all the girls were nudging each other and looking distressed, and as this teacher observed them, he realised - they didn’t know how the play ended. These girls had never been exposed to the story of Romeo and Juliet before, something which he thought was impossible given how ubiquitous it is in our culture. I mean, the prologue even gives the ending away, but of course it doesn’t specify exactly how the whole “take their life” thing goes down, so these poor girls had no idea what to expect and were sitting there clinging to hope that Romeo would maybe sit down for a damn minute instead of murdering Paris and chugging poison - but BAM he died and they all cried out - and then Juliet WOKE UP and they SCREAMED and by the end of the play they were so upset that a brawl nearly broke out, and that’s the story of how Shakespeare nearly started a riot at a juvenile detention centre

[dukeofbookingham-deactivated202]

Apparently something similar happened during a production of Much Ado at Rikers Island because a bunch of inmates wanted to beat the shit out of Claudio, which is more than fair tbh

[let-the-awful-song-be-heard]

honestly Shakespeare would be so pleased to know his plays were nearly starting brawls centuries into the future

[jabberwockypie]

Beating the shit out of Claudio is definitely a fair and reasonable response, honestly.
