Comment on Snippets, and Blatherings, and Things Left Unfinished

    maybe I need it to finish my original writing? - I can't remember if it is for any writing, or just for fanfic. Haven't paid attention to it since last year. It's only once a year. Sign up starts in the spring again, I believe.

    Do you have any hints/shadows of ideas what would it be, what genre/plot/characters? - oh jeez, I dunno. Probably going to be fantasy or SF. Queer. Beyond that? I dunno! I'm also not sure I'll ever have the confidence to do it! LOL

    you're too lazy to learn Polish! - I'm sorry! French for work, Danish for my girlfriend, and Polish for you! It should be easy, but I'm such a slacker!

    I think Asami's arc got so little screen time that one has to fill a lot of holes with headcanon - that is fair! Headcanon merges into actual canon very easily.

    all 1227 of them? - five of them, I think? We'll see.

    A COUPLE more chapters of Mad Max! - yeah. I'm working on chapter 5 right now. I'm not sure which one will be darker - MM or Aliens II. Both are bittersweet at best.

    faithless in Seattle or something. - because you're sleepless? Dang.

    think the bills I've been sending aren't going to be paid. - well, I'm sorry, but I'm having cash flow issues. A lot of my bills to some Polish writer guy I do things for are not getting paid, which means I don't have the funds to pay your bills. But don't worry, as soon as he pays me, you are first in line to get paid in return!

    you're a monster, of course. - of course! :D

      m sorry! French for work, Danish for my girlfriend, and Polish for you! It should be easy, but I'm such a slacker! - just switch the order, Polish first, then Danish, then French.

      that is fair! Headcanon merges into actual canon very easily. - oh yes, I love Asami, but completely honestly, if I were going strictly by the show, she'd definitely be behind Korra, Lin, perhaps even Su and Tenzin. But she's so high for me that I treat headcanon Asami as canon.

      five of them, I think? We'll see. - I wanted 1227 but 50 is good too.

      yeah. I'm working on chapter 5 right now - fuck you, fuck you, fuck you very mu-uch.

      I'm not sure which one will be darker - MM or Aliens II. Both are bittersweet at best. - you can't see me right now, but I'm wearing me "I'm so shocked to hear that" expression right now.

      well, I'm sorry, but I'm having cash flow issues. A lot of my bills to some Polish writer guy I do things for are not getting paid, which means I don't have the funds to pay your bills. But don't worry, as soon as he pays me, you are first in line to get paid in return! - geeee, never do business with Polish guys, no one has ever told you that?!

        okay, so you'll be motivating me. - well, I'll at least tell you the details when/if I see it again (I don't spend a lot of time on Tumblr)

        just switch the order, Polish first, then Danish, then French. - right right right, of course!

        But she's so high for me that I treat headcanon Asami as canon. - yes. She has so few lines. It's all based on what she does, and the things we headcanon that she must have done in order to do the things the show has her do, as opposed to what she says.

        Flying or driving? Yup. Melee skills? Yup. Literally saving Korra's life multiple times? Yup. Providing transport? Yup. Providing housing for Ba Sing Se refugees? Yup. Making up a "our airship needs repairs" story for the Earth Queen just based on how Korra was glancing at her? Yup. Being there silent without lines in so many scenes? Absolutely.

        Also, where does she LIVE in seasons two - four? The island seems like most likely, but it is never actually said. And if she did, why did she not see Korra there in Reunion, but instead only at the restaurant?

        but I'm wearing me "I'm so shocked to hear that" expression right now. - I bet you are! :D

        never do business with Polish guys, no one has ever told you that?! - dammit. I hate when I miss warnings like that.

          yes. She has so few lines. It's all based on what she does, and the things we headcanon that she must have done in order to do the things the show has her do, as opposed to what she says. - exactly!

          Also, where does she LIVE in seasons two - four? The island seems like most likely, but it is never actually said. And if she did, why did she not see Korra there in Reunion, but instead only at the restaurant? - a workaholic living in the office? :P

          I bet you are! :D - shocked, I'm telling you!

          dammit. I hate when I miss warnings like that. - don't worry, I know how to deal with them. Pay me the outstanding bills and I'll make sure he pays yours. Pinky swear!

            a workaholic living in the office? :P - that is the most likely answer. It seems that maybe she is still living on the island at the start of season 3 (though she doesn't even sit down when Bumi shows he's an airbender). And she waits at the door of the mansion when they take Wan there, so she's not living there.

            Korra needs to hire a P.I. to find out if/when/where Asami eats and sleeps LOL.

            That's part of what is so fascinating about her. There are so many gaps, so she can be whoever or wherever we want.

            Pay me the outstanding bills and I'll make sure he pays yours. Pinky swear! - ooohhhh, that makes sense. You're so smart!

              Korra needs to hire a P.I. to find out if/when/where Asami eats and sleeps LOL. - I do agree that a certain P.I. needs to take personal interest in Asami's sleeping arrangements.

              That's part of what is so fascinating about her. There are so many gaps, so she can be whoever or wherever we want. - yup! So why do I always turn her - probably the most honest and open character in the series (okay tied with Jinora, Ikki and Bolin) - into someone with DEEP AND DARK secrets?! WHYYYY?! Why can't I make her as fluffy as the Uncivil Wars and Furthest Depths of Hell Asami?!

              ooohhhh, that makes sense. You're so smart! - that I am! (of course expect a bill for this consultation)

                certain P.I. needs to take personal interest in Asami's sleeping arrangements. - I figured you would pick up on that!

                Why can't I make her as fluffy as the Uncivil Wars and Furthest Depths of Hell Asami?! - I don't know! Seriously, why can you not do that?

                (of course expect a bill for this consultation) - but of course!

                  I don't know! Seriously, why can you not do that? - or like in Aliens in GC! In all of these she was such a hilarious and completely well-adjusted person!
