Oh my God my vandalism has escaped containment

Peepaw trevor here to give advice to richter…

Dropping this here...

Crowley and Aziraphale and some bloke with a stick.

I need Neil Gaiman to know that Good Omens 2 made me feel emotions I haven't felt in nearly a decade.

When I heard there was going to be a Good Omens 2 I was looking forward to it, of course. I just wasn't expecting it do anything super special to my emotions. I was sure I'd enjoy it, though. I really enjoyed s1.

But, for the last few years, I watched shows and afterwards basically thought well, that was fun, and I quickly moved on and didn't think much about them. There was only about 3 shows in the last 5 years that had made me feel truly emotional and stayed on my mind to the point where I felt like I needed to engage in fandom for a while. (Good Omens 1 was one of them.)

I wasn't spoiled by the leak. I never even knew there was a leak. So I had no idea what was coming in s2. And oh boy...

THINGS I NEED TO FUCKING KNOW: Why every fuckin trans man or nb person I know who binds is like “oh binders are the worst, you can’t breathe in them, I know someone who broke a rib once”,

And meanwhile over in historical costuming, we are fucking eating, sleeping, swordfighting, riding horses, and feeling great like this:

Like is there NO overlap between people who want to bind and people who care about accurate 16th century clothing reconstruction techniques?

(I, okay, maybe it is kind of a niche interest, but…. REALLY? Anyone who’s made a boned binder, PLS SPEAK TO ME)

Omigods yes that’s what I used to make my trial binding corset for under a 1830′s gentleman’s costume! I adapted the Elizabethan Pattern Generator Corset to look more like the gentleman’s corset of the time as portrayed in satirical cartoons.

This was only the second pair of stays I made, but it already made me practically flat and was quite comfortable. I didn’t even full bone it and it looked like this:

(don’t judge me for the awful way the boning sticks out at the top, I am by no means a corsetry expert)

People who are actually good at stays will be able to make things like these with no trouble, because if something made from old sheets and recycled boning can do this, imagine what you can do with proper materials.

Just for fun, here’s me in my gentleman’s outfit:

It basically eliminates my boobs, but leaves the hips alone because at that time the hourglass silhouette was fashionable for men as well. I’m not exactly flat-chested, so I’d say for a first attempt this one is very succesful.

…okay, was anyone going to tell me that gentlemen’s corsets were A Thing or did I just have to learn that in a random reblog myself

they absolutely make corsets for men and they turn me a bit ravenous every time

Writing Fight Scenes

Here are a handful of tips on how to write intriguing and strong *no pun intended* fight scenes! 1. Give your character a meaning behind their actions. Are they fighting to survive? Are they the aggressor or the victim? Are they defending someone they love or hunting down someone who hurt them? Makes sure the audience knows why this action scene is important to your character. Unimportant and nonmeaningful actions can be boring!

2. Short sentences. Generally speaking, longer more detailed scenes slow the pace of your novel down. This is because the reader has to take more time to read and absorb all the details. Quicker, brief sentences make the pace move faster because there is less for the audience to read. Most fighting happens quickly and instinctively— without too much thought or anticipation. When things are happening fast, we have less time to take in details.

🏃‍♀️ Fast-paced with minimal details: "He punched me in the cheek, my back molars ripping open my fleshy skin. By the time the next punch came, I was already choking on a mouthful of blood."

🐌 Too many details/thoughts that slow down the action: "His large fist hurled towards me with insane speed. I could hardly believe it. He punched my cheek so hard that my sharp, back molars ripped open my fleshy skin. It hurt so bad, but I couldn't stop the next punch from coming. Blood filled my mouth, the irony taste causing me to choke and for my face to wilt."

3. Use all five senses. When adrenaline is pumping, the body can become hyperaware! Touch and sight are the senses that most people focus on... but don't forget about smell, hearing and, taste. Does your protagonist hear dogs approaching? Do they taste the blood from their busted lip?

4. Don't' slow down the pace by adding too much detail. Try to keep an ebb and flow in your action scene. When the action is happening, keep the details quick and short— no one has time to think about their next move when in the heat of danger. However, you can balance the scene out by giving your character a chance to breathe and think and observe

5. Research/study. Watch famous fight scenes in movies or anime to see what is realistic and what is exaggerated. Pay attention to the pacing or what keeps you on edge. When does the character get a chance to think or come up with a plan? What makes this action scene so enthralling?

6. Consider what is at stake. Stakes always make a scene more tense. What does your character have to lose and how does this affect their mental state? Does it aid in their energy, or does it distract them from the fight?

7. Develop characters/the plot. Consider how this action scene will either further your character in the plot or set them back. Does this scene give them a lasting injury that follows them throughout the story, or do they lose an ally that they desperately loved? How does this affect them moving forward?

i love when fic writers who have clearly never tried any kind of alcohol in their lives try to write someone drinking bc they're always like

"he ordered a tall glass of hard liquor. after three large glasses he was feeling tipsy" like babygirl i can't be sure but i think u just sent this man to the hospital

"the amber liquid tasted sweet" bestie i can assure you it did not

There’s a lot of resources out there about this but I’ve got nothing better to do so here’s the down low on safe and stupid drinking if you’re too young or too abstinent to know what’s up from experience or nobody ever taught you.

Drunkenness:

How drunk you get depends on your body weight, your hormones, how long it’s been since you drank, and the number of drinks you have. One drink is roughly one 1.5 oz/50ml shot of hard liquor, one standard 12 oz/330ml bottle of beer or hard cider, or 5oz/150ml of wine.

This website has a calculator that can tell you roughly what a person’s blood alcohol content will be based on their information.

Here’s also a rough chart about it:

If a smaller person is going drink for drink with a larger person, the smaller person will get drunk much much faster.

If a person reaches a BAC of 0.4% or higher they’re either dead or in extreme danger of being dead.

Taste:

Pure alcohol itself has no taste but when in drinks it can make things bitter and gives a burning sensation to the mouth and throat. The more alcohol percentage in a drink, the more it burns. Hard liquor like vodka or whiskey burns a lot and some people hate the feeling of it while others like it.

Beer and cider have a low alcohol percentage so they barely burn at all and in fact a lot of fake beers taste really similar to real beers because of this.

Wine burns a bit and can be gross if you’re mostly used to beer. As a rough rule, the cheaper the wine, the lower the alcohol content and the sweeter it tastes. White or pink (known as rose or white Zinfandel) are also generally sweeter and less bitter than red wines.

Beer is mostly gross to people who hate bitter things. Lagers are less bitter and stuff like Guinness, IPAs, and other dark beers are a lot more bitter. As a general rule the lighter colored it is, the less bitter it is but this isn’t universal.

The taste of cocktails depends on what’s mixed into it. A Long Island iced tea, for example, is a very dangerous drink because it tastes sweet and nonalcoholic even though it has five shots of liquor in it. A whiskey sour or gin and tonic on the other hand, still taste like alcohol. Just adding water to whiskey can take enough of the bite out of it that you can accidentally drink too much.

Hard cider tastes like alcoholic apples. It’s delicious. I can’t think of much to say about it. It’s usually similar-ish to beer in alcohol content.

Safety:

A bartender will cut a person off from ordering more drinks or kick them out if they can see that the person has visibly been drinking too much and is a danger to themselves

If your character is savvy about alcohol safety while waiting for an ambulance to come pick someone up they’ll put them in the recovery position also known as the Bacchus maneuver which involves putting the person on their side in a certain way that prevents them from choking. You can find instructions on how to perform it online.

A person experiencing alcohol poisoning will often be visibly confused, vomiting, and could possibly have a seizure.

A person conscious about their own safety while drinking will know their limits from experience, drink water in between drinks, and will probably have eaten beforehand because eating beforehand slows down how fast you get drunk. A person drinking on an empty stomach will get drunk fast.

A person drinking a lot without water will likely become very thirsty and dehydrated even if they don’t drink a dangerous amount.

Both of these people will pee a lot. Like a lot. Alcohol makes you pee a lot whether you’ve been drinking water or not.

How it feels:

Every person reacts to alcohol differently. But basically it lowers your inhibitions and might make you sleepy. For some people this makes them loud. For some people it makes them quiet because they’re aware that they’re drunk and are overcompensating.

Generally to get comfortably buzzed a person will drink two or three drinks depending on their body weight and then drink about one drink an hour to stay just a little tipsy.

There is no way to sober up other than waiting. Drinking coffee while you’re drunk will generally just make you both drunk and hyperactive.

Some people can act sober while they’re drunk. These people are still feeling drunk. They’re just good at hiding it. It is not safe for them to drive no matter what they tell you.

If you fall asleep after drinking the following sleep will be restless and a little bit unsatisfying. Some people don’t get hangovers. Generally the older you are the more likely you are to get a hangover but this isn’t universal.

Hangovers usually involve headaches and feeling lethargic. A fatty breakfast of meat and eggs or avocado toast might help. It might not. Painkillers and drinking more water might help. It might not. The hangover might last all day or it could just last an hour or two.

Drinking more will make the hangover go away but this is also alcoholic behavior. Which is useful to know if your character is an alcoholic I suppose.

I would date either of these women.
