Foible

Observing a foible in real time, much longer than a typical rhyme. The clock’s ticking and time will tell, will I finish, or, again say Oh well. ~ Time goes through cycles; we all have our own. We cycle through life; each turn we’ve grown. Turns’ incomplete, bumps we will feel. Will I roll to the end or find a new wheel?

So my TV has been overheating fritzy all summer

And I’ve been meaning to either 1) try to fix it by taking the back off and get the dust out and/or 2) buy a new one.

And I’ve been unable to executive function that for months.

Tonight I bought a TV

Then I wrestled the thing home, out of the Subaru, up the flight of stairs, out of the box…

Discover those 7 extra inches in TV size really do make a difference…

Wrestle the old one off the wall…

And discover that the mounting screws from the old mount need washers for the new TV…

Search the house for washers…

Figure out I can McGyver soda caps to work instead…

Realize the screw themselves are too small…

And am now laying on the bed with the dog and a 50 inch TV lamenting the fact that the hardware store does not stay open til midnight…

Because I can’t do anything like a normal person on a Saturday morning or anything.

Dead Girl Detectives AU because it just works so well!!!

(In case it wasn't obvious: Olivia as Crystal, Chris as Niko, Ivy as Edwin and Laura as Charles. Also not pictured but Rowan as Jenny)

Some more thoughts + closeups under the cut

Ok so. Some loose thoughts on the au

Most of the plot moves the same as the show. Ivy died in 1916, Laura died in 1989. (I might make some tweaks to how they died later, but for now its basically the same) They meet Olivia, who's psychic, go to Port Townsend, piss off a witch, get trapped by the Cat King, hijinks ensue

Most of the Port Townsend denizens are the same, like Tragic Mic and Esther. The Cat King and Monty are basically the same just genderbent so they can be Ivy's lesbian suitors or whatever

Rowan is Jenny, obviously. The only real difference is he's an emo butcher, not goth. I will draw him eventually

Olivia is still psychic, but she doesn't do the whole summon greater power from her ancestors thing. That's a black girl power and it feels weird to give it to Liv. Also I'm a big fan of Liv "what, like its hard?"ing her way through learning to use her foible, so I think the same applies here with her psychic powers. She's just a prodigy

Ivy isn't immortal anymore (obviously, she's dead) but I think the immortality translates into the whole edwin being more durable than other ghosts thing. Maybe her time in hell also gave her *ahem* west virginia-esc qualities, if you catch my drift

Chris eventually gets powers as well, though how those powers work and what they might be will depend a little on what they do with Niko in season 2. But he will get something

There's no romance between Laura and Olivia like there is with Crystal and Charles. Laura just found an annoying amnesiac and said "can we keep her 🥺" and got a new bestie out of it

I honestly can't see Laura being as in the dark about her feelings as Charles is, so I think maybe on the steps of hell when Ivy says I love you maybe they kiss. Or at least Laura reciprocates. Or is going to before the fucking spider shows up

I adore the dynamic this au poses of Ivy and Chris as besties. I feel they would be very comfortable around each other, but they don't actually interact one on one in canon a lot (unless??) so who knows

That's all I got for now, but I don't think I'm done thinking about this au so expect more later!

She wore male-style jackets and shirts with skirts and was lampooned in a published poem, which named her as a sapphist and first published the word 'tommy' as slang for a female lover of women. The mock epitaph in 1780 said she was 'liable to foibles which rigid virtue censures'.
