rainy Monday

jade_sabreIt's a rainy Monday, which isn't helping my mood, which is grumpy because I'm waiting to find out where I'm going to go when WP leaves which, if we're counting, is going to be in approximately sixteen days, even though it's not official, and last night we cuddled and ate ice cream and watched Casablanca and I don't want to go back to doing that sort of thing by myself.
and I was doing really well last week too I promise, after my meltdown. I made plans and moved forward and figured some things out! And now I'm waiting for follow-up on those things, which is why I don't know where I'm going to go. Also, organizing getting from here to there is going to be a headache and a half, as if I don't have enough stress on me already.
HOW DID THIS HAPPEN THIS POST IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT ME IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A CHEAP SHOT TO GENERATE COMMENTS AND THEREFORE MAIL IN MY INBOX BECAUSE i am so bored because, as I was explaining to Emerald, the only things I have to do right now involve either a) cleaning the kitchen (never-ending chore) or b) getting ready to leave (do not want do not want do not want). Also there was a thing the other day about getting more house cleaning done in ten minutes before guests arrive than in past six months, and that's about how I operate--I don't feel any need to get things done around the apartment until WP calls to tell me he's starting the hour-long commute to come home. And since I never know when that's going to be, I just sit.
Lush is telling me my strength or weakness is feeling secure, my subconscious is calm, and my aspiration is motivation, just based on their new make up colors.
ANYWAY so to do things, here are some requests for prompts, because I'm even too lazy to write these days. (I hate rainy Mondays.) Expect drabble-y things in response.
1. Give me a character or pairing or something and a "five times" prompt.
---
2. Comment, and I'll do an insta-drabble ficlet thing, prompted from whatever icon you use.
---
4. Give me:
1. A line from a song or a poem.
2. The title of a book.
3. A color.
4. An emotion.
[5. A fandom, if you like.]

Date: 2012-08-14 11:25 pm (UTC)BAM. TARRLOCK. DO IT. FIVE TIMES TARRLOCK ALMOST REUNITED WITH HIS BROTHER. (that's such a horribly worded prompt) (And if you don't want to do it, that's ok).
2. Look at my icon. (but let me know if it doesn't work)
Aaaaand that's all for now. Tell me if the Avatar thing doesn't work for you. Maybe I'll come up with something else. I was sorely tempted to give you something QT, but I know you don't really fic that.

Date: 2012-08-17 03:02 pm (UTC)written anythingwritten fic in ages! I didn't really feel at all shippy, aside from Asami/Iroh at the end there--I didn't mind Makorra, but it wasn't a focus for me and, like Quark said, these guys really love love triangles, and I just didn't care. (Not that Aang-Katara-Zuko really counts as a love triangle--literally the ONLY REASON she even POSSIBLY considers him as a love interest is because of Aunt Wu a throwaway comment Sokka made--sorry, WP and I just finished watching S1 and it's just so obvious in that one that while he's got a MASSIVE CRUSH on her she's completely oblivious/not interested/simply trying to take care of him. I would be less ARGHy about Kataang thanks to Tenzin, except that when you go back and watch the original show it's just so completely illogical and underdeveloped and character-growth-stunting and argh. Aang has to grow up! His crush on Katara is entirely childish! Two episodes before the finale Katara says I DON'T KNOW HOW I FEEL and then that's completely dropped! WHY, SHOW. WHY.) Current Pemzin made me LOL because uh Pemma basically pulled a me and ALL RIGHT I KNOW HOW I'LL TELL MY KIDS ABOUT HOW THEIR FATHER AND I GOT TOGETHER.I will try your prompt! But I'm also still kind of super-super-SUPER-disappointed that Amon didn't turn out to have connections to Koh. Also, like, I wish I had known all along that this story arc was only going to be thirteen episodes (i.e. that they didn't know they'd been picked up for a second season until after they'd basically finished making this one) because then I would have had...fewer expectations about scope? I mean, this covered a lot and had a ton of depth and I absolutely loved it (THE FINALE GAVE ME ALL THE FEELS, even though a day later I could sit and list every missed opportunity and thing that annoyed me, because THAT TEAR, ALL THE FEELS), but the
show spent too much time on Makorramiending was REALLY rushed and I was sad for all the missed character development/struggle/conflict opportunities. (I.e. I WANTED KORRA TO GO A WHOLE SEASON WITHOUT HER BENDING.)2. WILL THINK ABOUT IT.
What QT fic would you have me write? I suppose--oh man this might sound super full-of-myself but it isn't meant that way, it's pure curiosity--if you could have me write about anything in QT land, what would you have me write? Does that make sense?

I need to go look at your Korra post. Yeah. I agree with a lot of what you said.
Hm...That's pretty big. I feel like dramatic music should be playing as I contemplate. Regis is sitting beside me, ready to ask, "Is that your final answer?"
So, since I have even more QoA love right now and Attolia is the most badass queen of all the badass queens (though, Eddis is awesome and actually I probably love them equally and think them equally badass but for different reasons), what about something Attolia-centric? Would you focus on young princess Irene? Or some early Attolia/Relius character stuff--not shippy, mind you.
I don't even know, really. There's so little fic coming out, and I haven't written any for the fandom in ages. But I bet you could do some awesome stuff about early Attolia or what about even something from TT/QoA-era Attolia? And is that all just way too vague and open-ended?

Date: 2012-08-17 05:22 pm (UTC)HAHAHAHA I laugh because well there is that scene in my head of Relius bending to look over young!Attolia's shoulder as she writes something by candlelight and they have that whole mentor/student relationship that is tinged with UST that resolves itself the first time he watches her watch a man being
granchedbeheaded or some such* and realizes she can never be loved?oh is that how that ends. well. glad I figured that out.
ATTOLIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
*I was going to say "killed" and then realized that she, you know, watched her suitor be shot through the heart and poisoned her first husband. So it's a bit of a tricky thing, but it's doable, because we know about her mask but we also know when she was a young monarch she went to fetch her nurse and threw more tantrums, so there's a balance between the young queen who is trying to hold onto the vestiges of girlhood and the girl who has closed the stone door to her stone tower and won't open it again until Eugenides comes knocking. And maybe losing that camraderie with Relius--fully becoming his queen, not his student--is what closes that last gap. Or at least in this iteration.
Oh, I'm supposed to actually fic this? Right. WE'LL SEE.
