Fear not the author who predates a scene with “CONTENT WARNING: dehumanization, medical torture, gore, angst, hurt/no comfort, lack of bodily autonomy, and needles”. Because that will just be a mild angst scene at most with a lab back drop. But DO fear the author who says “lotssss of gore in this one guys” with no further elaboration.
I'm so tempted to make the characters in my Star Wars fics use floppy disks. Or record things on tape. Or send each other a damn fax because honestly what else am I supposed to think of that whole cassette futurism aesthetic 😔
Yeah yeah they got holo imagery and 3D star maps, but has there ever been a single screen that wasn't attached to a big clunky console? Have we actually seen an officer signing a form with a datapad stylus, or is that a fandom hallucination? Because whenever I see those devices in the source material they don't seem to have a touch surface, just a bunch of dials for scrolling. You can't sign anything on there. The humble Wacom hasn't been invented yet. You gotta print that shit out like a chump because it's the space 80s
I felt I had to share the absolutely insane AI summary I got this morning
For whatever it’s worth, there’s a line in New Vegas, from Beatrix iirc, that implies the tabloids latched hard onto House’s weirdest tendencies right before the bombs dropped.
I think you mean Raul's story of a Mexican tabloid speculating about House's predilections? There's also a pretty strong implication that something's queer about him there if you read it through a pseudo-1950s conservative societal lens (which is awesome)
It's foreign press, though. US press would have to be brave to start insinuating that House would be with a communist who is also a man... but I'd really like to see it lol
For years and years I’ve been feeling this world is sorely lacking whump!Dooku. I know he’s not the most popular member of the disaster lineage to be a whump target, but if anyone deserves a beating it’s him!
We had those few, glorious panels in that comic a few months ago - you know the ones - but I kept wishing that’s-ee had been the artist 😅 your Dooku is the Dooku to me. I just love love love him.
I legitimately don’t know how to respond to the second part of the ask because that’s SO kind of you to say!!!! I had to stand up and walk around when I got this ask ahahahaha and I’m sorry it took me so long to respond to this I’ve been so immobilized by enthusiasm
YOURE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT ANON I’ve criminally neglected whumping Dooku for whump’s sake, and while I strongly recommend crawling through @rochenn’s blog bc no one does it like he does, here’s an offering which I hope satisfies💫
Re: in-universe tabloids speculating about Coop's relationship to House, I think there's a fun trope reversal in here as well.
Usually it's a housewife with no other means selling herself to wealthy men to provide for her family; now here it's a newly jobless man in reputational & financial ruin whoring himself out in the same way (because his wife, still making absolute bank, can't risk associating herself or her money with him anymore). Even worse if it's not even true <3 Just defame that man in every possible way
Genuinely can’t imagine what the tabloid magazines looked like when Cooper visited Vegas. Robert “Celebrity-Fucker” House invited him to his penthouse ALONE and now that Cooper’s out of jail for “unamerican” activities he’s divorcing his wife??🤨🤨🤨
