Good times, and memories
Sitting down to (finally) watch the season premiere of Arrow.
Again, the green and red colour cues. I have loved that about this show since season 1.
(this show led me to The Flash, and as such is responsible for… a lot of the last few years.)
=====
Put that back. Put Thea Queen back right now.
=====
Ollie, you little fink. Carry on.
=====
Mhm. Okay, this is interesting.
(I confess I am not entirely clear on which Earth the 2040 belongs to, but I will assume Earth-Prime.)
Apparently Malcolm Merlyn keeps the Spanish announce table in his office!
(this is a very obscure joke)
I’m very glad to see Rene again, but I wish–
Whoooo, Diggle!
Double-whoooo! Diggle!
=====
(not loving 2040, but maybe they’ll get it to click)
=====
(The bit with the champagne cork was cute.)
Oliver Queen.
There are some habits you should have broken by now, and lone-wolfily wolfing it alone is right up there.
Twit.
=====
Oh my god, twit.
…better.
Chase is doing this weird jaw-clenching thing when he talks. I find it mildly annoying, but will forgive it for the “Suit up.” in chorus.
=====
…that was oddly uplifting.
Diggle coming down on the No Fate aspect. Much love.
=====
Well that’s a hell of a thing.
Tumblr apparently ate my liveblog of the latest Flash episode, so to summarize:
much love for Frost and Cecile
I am seeing parallels with our white-boy heroes needing reminders about the possible malleability of the future and meeting alternate-Earth versions of their dead moms
when Jay Garrick is down with you committing time travel, things are very serious
they put a 15-year-old in Iron Heights what, pardon my French, the fuck
Joe’s speech and Barry’s rallying are carefully scripted to be heartwarming and touching and that is exactly the kind of content I am here for
I am clearly meant to like Ralph better this season and it’s working
Ultraviolet’s plan to preserve her identity by attacking a police station in the Flash’s city is some season-4 Thinker-level genius and I sincerely hope we see no more of that nonsense
okay, that’s Bloodwork and his continued presence is noted; I would rather have seen Chester TBH
that scene with Barry’s ring shining and Jay watching in the background as the helmet was handed over? That was fantastic.

Tagged by
gorogues , over a month ago. It’s been a busy time, I’m sorry.
Author’s name: PepperCat at AO3.
Fandoms you write for: Just the Rogues.
Where you post: AO3.
Most popular one-shot: My first one - “They fill you with the faults they had/And add some extra, just for you.” in which we see what Hartley was doing during episode 10 of season 1. (I suppose I might get a different reaction if I started dividing kudos by number of days a fic had been up, but I do not have the wherewithal to do that at this point in time.)
Most popular multi-chapter story: Again, my first one - “I Came Here For You”, in which Len and Hartley rob his parents. (Hartley’s parents, to be clear. I mean, that could probably be inferred.)
Favourite story you wrote: Right now, it’s a three-way split between the fluffy low-stakes AU of “I’m Not Gay But My Boyfriend Is”, the anxiousness of “Though you try to drown him I can hear him singing.” and the grimness of “The Madness of Cuckoos”.
Story you were most nervous to post: “Don’t you want to take a ride with me?”
How do you choose your titles? There’s a lot of swearing, honestly. I mean a lot. Usually I aim for a mangled quote of something, but occasionally I just pick elements from the work and it works out– “Whiskey, Puppy, and the no-eared dog” us my favourite of those.
Do you outline? Only if I feel like bits of the story aren’t clear in my head. (This happens a lot with dialogue, by the way.)
How many of your stories are…
…complete? 38.5 of them, in that “Before, During, After” should have actually been a collection, not a multi-chapter fic. Everything currently written in that one is complete, but there’s another thing I want to do.
…in progress? 0.5, see above.
…coming soon: *sobs*
Do you accept prompts? Nope. I am chronically contrary about writing instructions, so I suspect nobody would be happy with the result, and I have so much I want to get out on my own anyway.
Upcoming story you are most excited to write: The no-powers crime AU, the Axel and Shawna fic, at least two Lisa and Hartley fics (one with Ray Palmer!), a handful of more-scenes-than-fics things, the one with Hartley and Coffee, at least two more about Axel’s backstory, that thing with the handcuffs, and also the explosion-free distraction…

I’m back!
Toronto was lovely. My two favourite posters from the exhibit (pardon the bad photography):
I love the grin the Monster has in the first one (and was amused that the poster is Yet Another “actually, Frankenstein was the scientist” example), and the weirdly lucent effect on the Invisible Man in the second (the poster was painted before they knew how they were going to do the special effects; the reflection on the glass makes it hard to see, but it really reminded me of the glow you see through your fingers when you hold them up to a bright light).

all you need is each other (& some rats)
A beautiful piece, and you drew Hartley’s discomfort and the slightly-sinister aspect to James wonderfully here. Very expressive, and you put so much lovely detail and colour into their clothes!

Decided I’m not going to do a formal breakdown this month - I’m really tired, and I think I could use the break.
October is going to be for reading, edits, and hopefully finishing a sweater. Will see.

wipweek:
Introducing WIPtober!
What is this?
WIPtober is a challenge devoted to making progress on any types of WIPs during the month of October. The goal is to write at least 3K words or 3 pieces of art/fanworks for the month from October 1-30. Throughout the month, you can post reports of your progress, snippets, or links to updated/finished fanworks. Tag all progress with the #wipweek or #wip week tags so they can be reblogged to the blog. On October 31, everyone can post their final masterpost of progress throughout the month to celebrate, with links to snippets and updated/finished fanworks.
What about the traditional WIP Week?
The traditional WIP Week will return in early 2020, most likely February.
What fandoms/ships can participate?
All fandoms and ships are welcome to participate. Even people working on original works can participate. Due to multiple fandoms participating, please tag any snippets and links to finished works with the fandoms, ships, and any content warnings.
What if we can write more than 3K words or do more than 3 fanworks during the month?
That’s great! The 3K words or 3 fanworks is meant to be a goal, not a limit. If you can do more than that, feel free to do so.
What if we can’t make the goal?
That’s perfectly okay. This challenge is supposed to be stress-free and progress is progress, whether you meet the goal or not.
What if we’re participating in Inktober or another October challenge?
All progress is progress and any progress toward any other challenge counts towards WIPtober. If the WIP you’re working on is for a challenge that requires you not to post anything until the end, like a big bang, please follow the rules of that challenge.
What if we want to work on both fics and art/other fanworks during the month?
You can absolutely work on any type of fanwork during the month and you don’t have to choose.
What if we have more questions?
The ask box is open here.
WIPtober starts tomorrow!

I really, really wish that people would tag discussions of what will happen in upcoming episodes as spoilers.

What job do you think Axel would have if he hadn’t become a criminal?
peppersandcats Any ideas?
Hey, I love my Flashpoint story where Nora Allen didn’t die, got into social work, adopted him, and he became a cop on the bomb squad. It’s TV!verse, but could work for comics. (Heck if I can link on my phone, it’s in my “axel allen” tag.)
I also like the headcanon that instead of imprinting on the Rogues as father figures, he imprinted on John Constantine. (
isconnormcdavidok , did you come up with that or did I? I just remember giggling over an Axel-duckling following John around and leaving bloody footprints.)
Other things: rock star? Stuntman? Chemical engineer?
Okay, I’ve had two people say chemical engineer so I think I’ll go with that… would it be reasonable for him to work at STAR Labs in that case? Because that would work really well in this fic.
(Also
sammysdewysensitiveeyes I actually did have a wip at one point where Axel runs a popular youtube channel about pulling pranks on people but I may or may not ever finish that one,,)
Totally! They hire all the best, most enthusiastic people, and they aren’t married to professionalism. He’d be a natural.
