the answer is of course 'you all get to suffer because i like to sprinkle trauma liberally on my OCs as well as any canon character i may latch onto'
I was just reminded of the FaceOff EP where they're supposed to do makeups based on swarm insects and the judges had clearly never seen any because the complained about the 'termite' group taking the largest model they had and casting him as the Queen (because they ARE the largest member of the hive) so here my idea for more accurate makeup looks for an ant based sfx look: 99% of your cast is women because that's what the swarm is like (not in termites, mind) You grab the buffest women you find. The 'break you in half over her knee without tryong' ones. Those are your warriors Less buff but still impressive ladies for the generalized workers Imagine those fertility figures. Full Venus of Willendorf. Find a gal who's got that look. That's your Queen. The existence of the colony depends on her so she's the cherished center Grab a bunch of pretty men. Stick them in flimsy harem costumes. That's the drones. Because the literal only job of a drone is it to fertilize the Queen, and then die. Full sex objects, baby. So. Harem of pretty man fawning over the Queen and really seriously meaning it. Or have then fawning over the future Queens at least for the same reason. Like god, you were given an option to cast against type for the love of god go for it instead of 'Queen has to be small and pretty, drones are strong warriors defending the nest' I'm still salty about this ep two years after the fact, thanks for coming to my Ted talk no i don't take criticism.
I WILL NEVER STOP BEING SALTY ABOUT THE JUDGES KNOWING FUCKALL ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE JUDGING SOMETIMES
legion fic now on page 12. my fingers have not known peace today. They dislike this speaking of which: work was A Lot today and i bounced all over the place to keep up and now the big-toe sinew in my left foot is staging a particularly located sort of revolt and i would prefer if it didn't do that but so far it's not been willing to sit down for negotiations. my back did consider joining the protest but you know what? 20 minutes with the in-seat heating of my car convinced it not to. go heated seats!
i wish i felt confident enough to write ssss fanfic IN the setting but hrrr no. no confidence. Minna is so goooood and i feel like I don't know enough and so i am sitting here. Suffering.
Me, yesterday: oh i'm just ordering units 3 Opos to be cautious, over the weekend and all that Every single slightly anemic but stabile patidnt we had: bitch you thought Aka 'those three units i ordered are the only thing left in the fridge i haven't crossed at least once yet. (Exempting the emergency Onegs) There are thirteen crossed units and i've run out of place for horizontal stacks.
Last Patient has a positive DAT...would prefer if not...please don't make me call the brk today i'm begging u
