At this point I need to do some special milestone thing. Maybe a masterpost on Cyyrus?

Or maybe I'll do some kind of in-universe ask game. Or ask and receive art thing for the universe. Idk, any ideas? I'll see and do a poll of my favorite ideas.

You know that owl in Harry Potter that the Weasley have that can't fly straight to save its life? Yeah, that's how Grace flies. Hitting every pole, pane, and tree trunk as he does so.

His biodome is void of anything above twelve feet and he STILL slams into his wall every week or so.

[thelurkingthingamajig]

so was no one going to build a time machine and tell little 11 year old Phantom that the dragon show was gay? Was I supposed to just look back and realise that later in life?

I think it's kinda cruel that you all waited to let me find out about the gayness of the dragon show for after Netflix took it off the air. Now I can't re-watch it for fic ideas.

What do you mean no one invented time travel so tween me could have my viggo/hiccup phase? I can't retextualize the entire series now! You could have sped up my sexual awakening by at least three years come on man!

Cruel, I tell you.

Is The Problem just God???

He just sort of spawned in, he's functionally immortal, he breaks the fourth wall, and he canonically can take any form he wants if it's funny enough.

So is he just a cosmic deity or something??

Isaac Asimov.

[sim0nbaz-deactivated20170205]

yo mary shelley wrote frankenstein in 1818 and isaac asimov was born in 1920 so you kinda get my point

[fancyeliza-deactivated20200804]

If you want to push it back even further Margaret Cavendish, the duchess of Newcastle (1623-1673) wrote The Blazing World in 1666, about a young woman who discovers a Utopian world that can only be accessed via the North Pole - oft credited as one of the first scifi novels

Women have always been at the forefront of literature, the first novel (what we would consider a novel in modern terms) was written by a woman (Lady Muraskai’s the Tale of Genji in the early 1000s) take your snide “Isaac Asimov” reblogs and stick it

even in terms of male scifi authors, asimov was predated by Jules Verne, HG Wells, George Orwell, you could have even cited Poe or Jonathan Swift has a case but Asimov?

PbbBFFTTBBBTBTTBBTBTTT so desperate to discredit the idea of Mary Shelly as the mother of modern science fiction you didn’t even do a frickin google search For Shame

[cryptovalid]

And if you want to go back even further, the first named, identified author in history was Enheduanna of Akkad, a Sumerian high priestess.

[gunthatshootsennui]

Kinda funny, considering this Isaac Asimov quote on the subject:

Mary Shelley was the first to make use of a new finding of science which she advanced further to a logical extreme, and it is that which makes Frankenstein the first true science fiction story.

[deathcomes4u]

Even Isaac Asimov ain’t having none of your shit, not even posthumously.

[velocigrey-deactivated20160825]

You know what else was invented by women? Masked vigilantes, the precursor to the modern superhero. Baroness Emma Orczy wrote The Scarlet Pimpernel in 1905. The character would later inspire better known masked vigilantes such as Zorro and Batman.

[athenadark]

the first extended prose piece - ie a novel, was not, as many male scholars will shout, Don Quixote (1605) but The Tale of Genji (1008) written by a woman

[thepsychicclam]

The first autobiography ever written in English is also attributed to a woman, The Book of Margery Kempe (1430s).

[thelurkingthingamajig]

did my irl name, got a fitting result but realised I didn't want my irl name on this blog, then did my blog pseudonym.

[jackdaw-sprite]

I've mentioned on here before that I don't think Owen conceives of himself as a person and instead considers himself a punishment. This obviously has very strong textual support by the end of the series, given he says he's Louis' teeth and claws.

(The I think is therefore more about how I think it applies from the very start of the series, rather than coming to the conclusion later)

But it occurred to me today that Owen's pre-vampire existence is one he actually would have seen represented in stories, but specifically as a Test.

There is a very old trope of a powerful entity -- often a witch, angel, or god -- disguising themselves as a poor old woman, or a desperate beggar, and knocking on the door of the well-to-do.

If they show the beggar the kindness demanded of them by the rules of Hospitality, then they pass the test and are rewarded. If they fail they are punished, and often severely: their line is cursed, their house falls to ruin, people die.

And it's interesting, isn't it, that of all the people in Oakhurst, it's only Louis that accepted Owen into his home and fed him according to the rules of Hospitality. Everyone else refused him entry, refused him food, kept him far away. Of all the people in Oakhurst, only Louis passed the test. Everyone else failed it.

And so, when the poor, diseased lumberjack revealed himself to be/became something powerful--

Well.

For a story to write itself, it would have to be unwritten. The ending to that story has been passed down for thousands of years.

[jackdaw-sprite]

Like, I don't think this was his thought process when he was killing every man, woman and child in Oakhurst. I think that was a lot more blind rage. But I can see him having it as a power fantasy before getting turned, and I can see this making his list of post-hoc justifications.

It also makes certain ways he pushes people interesting. He's testing them to see where their breaking points are, yes. I personally think he does it because it makes him feel more in control, more powerful, and lets him protect himself against inevitable mistreatment (if they pass his tests they're safe, if they don't then they were always evil, that sort of thing) and justify his own abuse (they reacted poorly -> my anger and resentment and mistreatment of them is justified)

But as far as framing his own actions to himself? "I am testing them because I am a test as well as the punishment for failing the test" seems very in line with his character.

[thelurkingthingamajig]

I'm stealing this view of his character because it fits way too well. Oh my goodness it fits so way too well.

Head canon that Scott goldsmith is still effected by the sleeping curse in 2006 and it manifests as essentially vampiric narcolepsy type 2

[thelurkingthingamajig]

I'm starting to find my people. Soo n I'll actually write my ideas...

[gord-horde]

No that’s so real this came up originally for plot reasons to an au I have barely started writing- then the plot important nap became an after effect of the sleeping curse, which spurred me to research narcolepsy a bit.

[thelurkingthingamajig]

I have an idea for a fic where when he reaches stage three Martyn's hily word makes it resurface. And since vampires don't sleep the curse is more akin to locked in syndrome.

Cut to half of the castle trying to protect him from the other half of the cast who's trying to stake him while he can't fight back. All told from the perspective of Scott, who wasn't expecting this to affect him as badly as it is.

I have ideas.
