Roundup for Week 04 of 2023
This Week I Learned that my brain still goes kerplooey when I try to learn javascript, but I am slowly starting to be able to modify bits and pieces.
These posts are my weekly periodic 'round up' of the things I've been up to this week lately.
This Week I Learned
That my brain still goes kerplooey when I try to learn javascript, but I am slowly starting to be able to modify bits and pieces.
Writing
Still plugging away at this fuck or die that ate my brain. I've almost completely rewritten chapter 1, and I'm glad I didn't get around to transcribing chapter 2 yet, because I'm going to be rewriting that significantly as well.
Watching
New shows! Yay! Shows out of hiatus! Yay!
The Chemistry of Death is rather nice so far. Creepy procedural FTW.
I also like the fungus zombie show.
Winchesters spoilers
*The Winchesters* got interesting. Still can't figure out if that was Loki-Loki or Gabriel-Loki, but if this is 'our' universe (and I'm not convinced it is), my money is on Gabriel.Dean in the photo was both a surprise and not. Very cool though.
The Teen Wolf Movie
Yeah, it has issues. I mean, like, Teen Wolf isn't Teen Wolf without Stiles, for a start.
But I'm glad I watched it. Happy to add it to the canon of a fandom that completely consumed me at the time.
reposting my longish post from fedi here, contains spoilers and some negativeish observations and some speculation
- It's just not the same without Stiles.
- Allison doesn't even look like Allison. I wish actresses would stop doing shit to their faces, it's disconcerting.
- WTF when did Derek find time to have a 15yo kid? And where is this kids mother?
Trying to work out the timeline here (tho TW timelines were always notoriously unreliable). If Allison has been dead for 15 years and Eli is 15 he would have been born the same year Allison died.
Derek was banging Jennifer the crazy druid lady that year. Peter killed her, right? Right?
So who the hell is this kids mother?
Nudge the timeline and perhaps Derek was making a baby the season before. While he was also making a bunch of teenage werewolves 🤷♀️
Nudge it again and he was sowing his seed pre-canon.
I seem to recall an entire season of TW covered only part of a year, perhaps only six months per season, maybe less. So it's feasible Derek had a kid the entire run of the show and we never knew about it.
But did he?
Now it's entirely possible there was some throwaway line I missed in the final season in regards to a kid, but if so, I don't remember it. I have only watched it the once. Unlike the other seasons, that I thrashed, over and over and over again.
Fandom
Someone decided it was a good idea to post a 15 word 'fic' to AO3 tagged wincest that was essentially 'Chuck made Dean kill Sam cos he thinks incest is icky' and holy god that kind of shenanigans pisses me off.
Can't they find enough wincesties on twitter to harass? Have they all blocked them already so they've got to post stupid shit to AO3 because hating a ship and its shippers are their entire personality?
Anyway, they're wrong. Chuck thinks wincest is awesome. Why the hell else would he have made the boys so erotically codependent?

Social Media
Woops I started something on the fediverse: @MastoDrabble
Website Updates
Uploaded some more fic, added fic banners for the fic that have them, shifted some shit around (because my generic 'stuff' page was getting a little long) and added a new prompt generator.
Oh, and I'm gearing up to move the entire shebang to my own domain.
Busy busy 🤣
I'm seriously considering making a 'prompts' website that's half public service and half personal dumping ground for the vast collection of prompts and plot bunnies I'm never going to use.
ETA: yeah that happened
