so I wrote fic for the first time in forever. Thor fic. Marvel!Thor fic.

NOW BEFORE I GO ON, I HAVE TO EXPLAIN. IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT COMIC BOOKS, YOU KNOW THE SIXTIES WAS A TIME OF RIDICULOUS COSTUMES, EXAGGERATED EXPOSITIONAL DIALOGUE, AND ASS PULLS OUT THE ASS.

There will be two versions of this fic. One serious, because I couldn't get the idea out of my head, and one genre-appropriate. If you can imagine the second fic in comic-book panels, I have done my job right.

BLAME THIS ON ME GETTING VOLUME 2 OF THE MIGHTY THOR IN THE MAIL TODAY.

DISREGARD THIS. IT'S THE OPENING TO AN ASSIGNMENT I'M WORKING ON THAT IS A GLORIOUS COMBINATION OF TWO OF MY FAVORITE THINGS.

EDIT: taken down to work on.

this sums up in basically a page and a half what I'm going to Oxford to study this fall

HAHAHAH SO I NEVER UPDATE THIS ANYMORE, BUT I HAVE SHIT TO SHARE. ngl I follow Plurk a lot more closely, so if you're on there, feel totally free to add me. I mostly use it to keep an eye on people from RP games (and can't seem to go 24 hours without SOME KIND OF NORSE MYTHOLOGY RELATED PLURK wtf self)

SPEAKING OF NORSE MYTHOLOGY. YEAH I'M STILL ON THAT LOKI KICK FROM THE PAPER I WROTE...THIS SPRING. THE QUICKEST WAY TO GET ME TO PLAY/WATCH/READ SOMETHING RIGHT NOW IS TO TELL ME "LOKI'S IN IT." I AM A WHORE FOR DIFFERENT INTERPRETATIONS OF HIM.

And I have scans of a particularly good comic book to share. DADDYDOESN'TLOVEMEEEE!Loki Marvel!Loki has always been a source of lulz for me, but this book was surprisingly true to the myths, and...I was very pleasantly surprised. It's not long, and it raises some interesting possibilities about him that I hadn't considered before, like why marvel!Loki's so obsessed with the ~hammer~.

( the world needs people like you and me who've been knocked around by fate~Collapse )

oh god college

it is a harsh mistress.

THE GOOD NEWS. THE BIGGEST THING I HAD TO FINISH? IS DONE. ALL THAT'S LEFT IS THAT NASTY ORAL QUIZ ON CHAUCER FRIDAY PLUS A METRIC FUCKTON OF READING.

It's been so crazy this semester. Huge workload aside, my roomies are far more interesting this year than the two relatively sedate gay men of last year. I woke up this morning to find pop-tarts for me on the counter with a note from one of my roomies apologizing for having loud sex last night. I laughed pretty hard--honestly, I wasn't that bothered by it. I have headphones, and what she does is her business. Honestly, they're like a soap opera. I just stay out of the personal drama. This college is such a fishbowl, but I'm reminded how much I love it when people do things like sing "A Whole New World" in German outside my window at one in the morning (which happened today).

Any spare time for the past few days not eaten up by homework has been devoted to watching Persona 3 playthroughs of the PSP version with the female protagonist. I'm not really that interested in Emo Jesus Minato, but the MShe is cheerful and kind of fun. I like her.

I also like Akihiko. He's such a derpcase. EPIC FAIL PUNCHTARD I LOVE HIM AND HIS PERPETUAL BEDROOM VOICE AND HIS OBLIVIOUSNESS AND d'awwww ♥ goddammit player max his social link already Seeing Shinjiro's canon is pretty neat, too.

I'm enjoying the game in general. It's pretty different from P4 -- it's like the H.P. Lovecraft to Persona 4's Scooby-Doo. ...it reminds me of Lovecraft a lot, actually, what with the monsters that turn their victims into mindless husks, and the visual design of the Dark Hour and Tartarus, plus the inevitable bad ending. I'm going into it expecting TRAGEDY, though, so. SOMEONE RECOMMEND ME AKI/SHINJI PORN. OR SHINJI/AKI. I DON'T CARE. THERE HAS TO BE GOOD STUFF OUT THERE, IT PRACTICALLY WRITES ITSELF.


....nearly forgot. DRAGONCON WAS AWESOME. PICS WILL BE FORTHCOMING. I SAW STAN LEE. His panel was the only one I really really really wanted to get into, so it was totes worth standing in line for an hour and a half. Really, con lines can get much longer, so I am not complaining. I broke out all the crazy clothes in my closet I never get to wear anywhere else, bought a ton of cool things, and am planning EPIC COSTUMES FOR NEXT YEAR. Anyone know a good place to get a black/navy blue bodysuit, preferably made out of some kind of stretchy cloth that I can cut into? This is what I have in mind. Yes, it's legit, from about ten years ago. Oh, Marvel. ♥

EDIT: SHIT GODDAMN AKIHIKO. FIND YOUR FUCKING RESOLVE. DAAAAAAAAAAMN BOY. askjdlsakjd persona games why is your character development so EPIC it's four in the morning and I have class I need to sleep.

DAT GAME.

so last night was a Lost Boys concert that was pretty badass. Mizu and I were hauled up onstage to dance to one of the songs, which was super exciting. Attention high get. The only downside was, my mother came down sick halfway through the show. She's feeling better now, but it wasn't pretty.

This is the group I'm talking about. The man with the violin is my RL PB for Sherlock Holmes. At least, if Holmes had long hair and a penchant for leather pants.


IN OTHER NEWS, I have a DS (finally!) that I've affectionately nicknamed Tron, and am almost done with case 3 of Ace Attorney: Investigations. It's super fun to play an AA game blind for once. NO SPOILERS PLZ

And finally, serious norse mythology kick GET. Loki muse is not leaving me alone. GOD DAMN THAT REPORT. None of this would have happened if I hadn't done my Fool & Trickster final paper on Loki. It was the equivalent of doing a Damned app in terms of figuring out a character. I like the little bitch. I'm also convinced that Thor is the Norse equivalent of a bro, and can't think of him as anything but this guy who walks around with his helmet sideways and his armor popped, who brings six-packs of mead to parties and is the best drummer ever for Rock Band.

Mizu and I should not talk over IM late at night. Horrible things happen. Like reading the wiki article on Mythical Detective Loki and deciding that it was basically the Disney version of Norse myths. ....and then ( plotting out said Disney movie. It is played in every theater in Lokitopia, by the way.Collapse )

THIS MOVIE NEEDS TO BE MADE, DUDE. I'D WATCH IT. Except I guess Disney learned their lesson about myth bastardization with Hercules, huh? Okay, it's 4:30 a.m. and I need sleep. Why do I tl;dr like thiiiiiis

The best part about this movie, though, would be the fans. Loki would get fangirl defenders. Like the Phantom of the Opera, or Draco Malfoy. XD "IT'S BECAUSE ALL THE OTHER GODS WERE SO MEAN TO HIIIIIIIIM~" It would be glorious. And I have to say I adore the god mob song. SOMEONE WITH MUSICAL TALENT SHOULD WRITE IT

oh god. If I watch one more episode of Oprah, or see another soap opera, or....alkjdlaksjlkjsa. My aunt watches TV. I am a slave to the computer.

I'm sure you guys don't want to know about the wonderfully unglamorous job it is to take care of a 90-year-old woman. I'll talk about her cats, instead.

CLICK ME

This is Rukiacat. She is small and full of energy and can be very loving, but will also occasionally whirl around and sink her teeth into your hand. She meows a lot, and will occasionally take that pink thing you can see in the photo and carry it around the house, crooning about how she is ~such a mighty hunter to have caught this pink thing, are you all impressed yet?~


CLICK ME

This is Chadcat. He is huge and super-shy and quiet and I adore him. For the longest time he didn't purr, but after we got Rukiacat he picked up how to do it from her, and purrs now when I pet him. ♥ ♥ ♥ It took him seven years to get used to me, but he always remembers me when I come to visit.

SO THOSE ARE MY CAT NAKAMA. I also seem to have picked up an adoring loli named Jazmin. S-she drew two pictures of me.

I'm a mermaid. Those lines are obviously water, see? She keeps writing "I LOVE JUSTIN BIEBER" or "YOU LOVE JUSTIN BIEBER" on the drawings, but hey. The first time she came over, she wanted to listen to Miley Cyrus. I told her I didn't have any of her music, and put on Owl City and ABBA instead. It was a good compromise.

Here's the second one. I think my teeth are beautiful, don't even lie.

HOLY SHIT

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

I KNEW THERE WAS A REASON I WATCHED POWER RANGERS

So it's a Halloween episode, right? One of the villains is in a convict costume, and --



24601. FUCKING 24601. LES MISERABLES? IN MY POWER RANGERS? IT'S MORE LIKELY THAN YOU THINK.

I love how they can have this in an episode with a monster called the Pumpkin Rapper. It's a giant pumpkin that busts rhymes and it's terrible ohgod. Shit this show is like brain candy. Delicious brain candy. It's like Twilight but without the pain and raeg.

SHIIIIIIIIIIIIT YEAH GUESS WHO BREEZED THROUGH HER STAGECRAFT FINAL IN FIFTEEN MINUTES? FIFTEEN MINUTES?

It was short and simple and apparently he wrote it late last night after he finished working on building things, so. Easy. Oh, Nooner. Never stop being a carpenter first and a teacher second. HE USES TIGER SAWS AND DOESN'T AFRAID OF ANYTHING

Also, it's official. I've been thinking too much about Lovecraft and Power Rangers. Crazy dreams came back two nights ago -- I don't remember all of it, I know there's something I've forgotten, but I do remember that there was suddenly a lake in Mizu's living room, and this tentacled cosmic horror came out of it, but the Power Rangers showed up to fight it except all their weapons had turned into (still color-coded) deep-sea fish. That somehow weakened the eldritch abomination enough to defeat it. That's seriously all I remember, except that the Red Ranger was a chick. What.


Seriously, this power rangers kick is becoming a problem. I'm ficcing it. What is wrong with me. I write the weirdest stuff, I swear to god...


AND I NEED TO STOP WANTING TO APP PEOPLE TO TIIIIIIIDES. I HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED MY NAVEEN APP AND CHAT KEEPS TRYING TO TOP ME INTO AURON AND/OR JASON. D8 ZORDS WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED IN TIDES AND I CAN'T FIGURE OUT A WAY TO MAKE THEM WORK SO

BUT I HAVE ONE PAPER ON EVIL LEFT TO DO AND A JOURNAL TO FINISH, BOTH OF WHICH ARE DUE TOMORROW AFTERNOON. AND A SKIT TO MEMORIZE IN SPANISH THAT I'M PERFORMING TOMORROW MORNING. AND SCENES FROM SCAPIN AND OTHELLO. AND THREE TESTS. FUCK IT FUCK IT FUCK IIIIIIIIT I DON'T CAAAAARE LET ME TAKE THE DAMN TESTS AND GO TO NEW YORK TO TAKE CARE OF MY INVALID GRANDMOTHER SO I DON'T HAVE TO THIIIIINK


also. satan rangers have been recast. (for those of you who don't know, there is a line in Paradise Lost describing the assembled demons as the "ranged powers." guess what our minds went to.) Satan is the Red Ranger. Mulciber is the Blue Ranger, because he's super smart and Hephaestus and the demon who built Pandemonium. Belial is the Yellow Ranger so he can give tl;dr total bullshit speeches about ~working together.~ Moloch is the Green Ranger, because he's all OMG STRONG SUPER BATTLE RAAAAAAGH. Beelzebub can be the snarky Black Ranger, and Sin is the Pink Ranger. Yes, she's still a naga. Well, maybe her Zord can be a naga. All their Zords are different kinds of snakes. And their dialogue is still in iambic pentameter -- "We need your power now, great Ultrazord!"

going back to paper now. derp.

Edit: Journal complete, skit memorized (mostly). I have five hours. Gonna do this.

I had the dubious honor once of seeing him in his true form. Thomas never did, of course -- it would have shattered his sanity entirely. Fortunately, I, being rather more than human myself, could stand the sight (though I will not pretend that the memory does not disturb my sleep on occasion). I shall endeavor to describe it here, if only to give myself some peace of mind. Ha! As if I could transfer the sight from my mind to paper, and thus be rid of it so easily!

It was great, and terrible. No human words exist to convey the repulsion and horror I felt as I gazed on the hulking mass of slime and tendrils, black as the space between stars. My terrified gaze caught sight of feelers the size of a boulevard, lined with suction cups that could easily hold a room inside them. I cannot properly call the limbs that sported these feelers "arms," for arms they were not, but there were four, in addition to the struts that supported its weight and allowed it to stand upright. Six appendages it possessed, four tipped with tentacles, two broad and flat to balance its bulk. It was akin to watching a cliff face pick itself up and turn to look at you. And look it did; though there were no discernible eyes, one was left with the keen sense of being observed. It fully sunk in at that moment that this was the creature responsible for the extinction of the giant reptiles that once walked the earth.

(He'd done it, he told me once, because the behemoths had disturbed his slumber. Eons were a mere catnap to him, and an unfortunate herd had stumbled upon his resting place. I suppose even Great Old Ones sometimes feel irritable in the mornings.)

It seemed to warp space around it, drawing the eye in all directions at once, distorting the landscape and even itself, constantly shifting, twisting, pulsing with an energy that was not of this world. At any moment, I felt, it could have vanished into shadow, and then I should never know whence it would reappear. Perhaps it would have become all the darkness in the world, wrapping the planet in its vile embrace, the father of shadows. An inky black mist rolled off it, obscuring the air and choking me with its foul tang. Coughing, I begged him to change back. I could stand no more of this distortion, this abomination, this simian squid of colossal proportions that made the world spin around my head. It should not be possible for such a thing to exist, I recall thinking vainly. I have dearly paid for my curiosity, and am only grateful that such a creature has sympathy for us. Woe betide us should the bonds of kin ever prove the stronger of his ties!

But quiet, I hear the children playing outside. I must not forget that it is through his actions that they inhabit a peaceful world to live in, that they play under a yellow sun and not a red one, that they remain peacefully unaware of the nightmares that lurk below the surface, a shadow's breadth away. Their laughter is like music, like drops of rain falling on my parched ears. They must never know. That laughter must never turn to shrieks of fear, or of pain under the lashes of the Great Old Ones. To that end, I will do whatever is required of me, even if I must do it alone. The god and the witch lie waiting in sleep, and the extraordinary man who brought us together is dead, his remains buried with the god forevermore. It is up to me to remain vigilant, to wake them should the need arise. Whether it proves to be a matter of years, of decades, of millennia is irrelevant. I shall be here, waiting...forever.

More Jonathan rambling melodramatically on eldritchhorror!Tio. WHY AM I PLOTBUNNIED FOR THE ONE AU WHERE EVERYTHING GOES TO HELL. And why is it so fucking fun to write shamelessly purple prose?

So here's what I think should happen in this AU. Tio has a habit of cutting deals with shady people for the sake of the greater good, but it always looks like he's a traitor. Think eternal Megara syndrome, from Hercules.

WELL. There's a version of him based on Facilier from Princess and the Frog, and that version of him is EXACTLY the sort of person canon!Tio would cut a deal with. So obviously, canon!Tio should cut a deal with Tiocilier, who does his best to screw canon!Tio over out of sheer butthurt. But then eldritchhorror!M'cu'tio saves the day by straight-up eating Tiocilier. He then pats canon!Tio on the head and tells him to enjoy his life. Then M'cu'tio washes Tiocilier down with Starscream for extra traitor flavor.

THAT'S MY STORY BRO
