Hello Aunty Scripty. Thank you for your hard work. I am writing a story with a climax featuring a bunch of equipment going boom. The characters can use a magic shield to avoid concussive damage and major hearing loss but what other injuries are we gonna be looking at?

scriptmedic answered:

I’m sorry, nonny, but the second you put “magic shield” into this scenario my ability to help your realism goes straight out the window. 

As Stethy likes to say… 

This is broken beyond my skill to heal.

So last night was my first welding class and the second i walked through the door the teacher said “hey you’re zoe right” and I started to panic because how does the teacher immediately know who I am fuck did I have this teacher before how come i don’t recognize him fuck fuck i’m a terrible person

turns out i’m just the youngest person in the class by about 30 years so the deduction wasn’t that hard

anyways, apparently people keep taking the welding class over and over again and the wait list is like 100 people long and so it was by some act of providence of pure dumb luck that I managed to get a spot. This also means I was the only person there who hadn’t welded before.

I’m stationed at a big center table where the teacher can keep an eye on me, and everyone else is in booths on the surrounding walls each making their own projects. And these are impressive looking projects. One guy is making a side table, a woman is making a giant metal rocking chair, and another guy was making a wind chime out of old compressed air canisters. 

The elderly gentlemen in the booth right behind me introduces himself to me as Jim and asks me if this is my first time and I say yeah and he smiles at me and tells me I’m gonna love it and how this class is so fun.

Immediately Jim becomes my new best friend. He comes over whenever I stop to take a break and asks how I’m doing and even helps me take the welding mask off when I couldn’t figure out how to do it myself. 

at one point i see Jim and another old guy talking to the teacher and i catch the old guy pointing at me. now being pointed at is usually never a good thing. the teacher has had me welding edges of scrap metal together so I can get a feel for the equipment. The teacher comes to check on me and I jokingly as him if those seasoned guys were making fun of me. 

Turns out I’m super good at welding and the old guy didn’t believe it was my first time welding ever and Jim was trying to convince him I was a newbie. :D

So for the entire 3 hour long class, like 15 middle aged and elderly people would periodically come by my table and check in with me, making sure I’m having fun and asking me questions about my life, and things like, do you know where the drinking fountain is, making sure I’m taking breaks, looking out for me and that kind of thing, all while being completely kind and supporting and complimenting me on my welding skills. 

and that’s how a community center welding class gave me 15 new grandparents. i love them all and this class is going to be amazing

What was it you were hoping I’d bring to the table - quiet obedience? No. I bring the storm, I bring chaos and your imminent destruction. You made a mistake.

My five-year-old created this as her way of saying Happy Birthday America!!!! Oh, and those are wolves, and they’re pregnant!

theexaltedmarch asked:

Ooo! I have one! Do you have any betazoid headcanons? There were so many vague cultural references tossed out here and there, but for a species relatively commonplace in the Federation they have next to zero development.

necrofuturism answered:

Betazed is a pretty quiet place and can actually be pretty unsettling for non-telepaths. Actual speech has become something of a vestigial thing so much so that individuals like Deanna and Lon Suder are considered to be disabled by the general population, and frequently need special accommodations to fit in. That’s why parties and ceremonies often feature repeating sounds - there’s no extraneous speech to get in the way of the tone as it spirals through the air. Because of this, Betazed is a mecca for the instrumental arts, and concert halls and parks are the most enjoyed form of entertainment.

Lwaxana Troi is so loud and bombastic in her speech because she tries to convey what the Betazoid thoughtscape is like. It’s big and expansive and emotional and she uses her speech the exact same way because she wanted her children to experience that for themselves despite their hybrid physiology. There is no filter that Betazoids employ in their thoughts to each other. That sort of naked honesty is something valued and appreciated most by their communicative culture, and it’s something that also comes out in their weddings.
