So I'm inspired now. Not for "From the Gods," sadly, because that one is probably never going to get done and is really intimidating me.
Instead, fic. Much fic. Brainstorming sessions in the middle of conversations, y'know.
I was going to whine about how badly I was doing on the Marty/Marty, but now I have a really really good idea of the AU character. What I must do now is figure out scenarios, situations, and precisely how he'd react to other characters and how they'd react to that--while getting normal!Marty used to his new surroundings. Ah well, nobody ever said good fanfic would be easy. But it's going to be fun.
I've also got some newish ideas--crossovers. "Clerks" with "River's Edge", back when Jay and Silent Bob were still slightly scary drug dealers. I think I'm the only one that's bothered by how much they changed during the Askew cycle. Jay turned into a cute blonde idiot whose edgiest characteristic was saying "fuck" a lot. Bob turned into a Kevin Smith Mary Sue who just happened to not talk. I know that FuzzyCouple!Jay/Silent Bob are pretty damn popular and fun to read and write about, but...I liked them when they were scary. In any case, I've got to watch both movies to get the characters right, whatta sacrifice. It's going to be fun to let them bounce off each other.
Oh, and we have "Re-A"/"Willard". Zombie rats. Well, wouldn't you like to have cute soft indestructible rat zombie slaves? I know I would.
What else, what else, what else. Well, my mage is in trouble. See, the new D&D campaign I'm in is set in a world where magic is viewed as demonic and the gods are not believed in. Our groups is following an army of orcs and strange people in cloaks who are killing people; the orcs and cloak people are apparently followers of an Evil Lord, whose insignia seems to be an eye with an arrow in it. The Evil Lord is following in the footsteps of another Evil Lord (or he might be the same one) who also used orcs and cloak people. He was defeated many years ago by three heroes, a ranger, a paladin, and a mage. The mage is the least famous of these heroes. Kind of like Ringo. The problem is that our party has been having communal bad dreams about an evil mage, and they're going to think I'm in league with him. I've got Silent Spell and Still Spell, which allow you to cast a spell without anyone else seeing or hearing it, but I cast Mage Armor right before a battle without using them and everybody saw me. Aaaaand then one of the cloak guys exploded, which was totally not my fault. But it's WITCHCRAFT!!!!! So I've got to either make a really good excuse for flipping around my hands and saying strange things (considered saying that I was crazy and talking to myself, but that's not going to work--we're in the woods. "What was that odd thing you did back there?" "Oh, don't worry about it, I am just crazy." "Great, crazy person! You can take second watch.") or I have to find a really good way to explain about magic and convince them that I am Not Bad. Suggestions are welcomed. Oh, and we're also being followed around by a raven who shows us where the orcs are and who I'm pretty sure is either the good mage in disguise or is a servant of the good mage.
Other stuff...went to Video Land, got some movies. "Evil Dead" (first one only, sadly), "Night of the Living Dead" (more zombies!), "Chuck and Buck" (recommendation), "Full Metal Jacket" (been meaning to see it), "River's Edge" (for said crossover and just 'cause it's an awesome movie), and "Naked Lunch" (I want to see how the hell this is going to work, I've already read the book and it's totally impossible).
Three Talking Heads songs that go together really nicely:
"Our House In The Middle Of The Street"
"Burning Down The House"
"Beds Are Burning"
This mood icon is incredibly amusing. I feel like zombie rodents.

it's all those damn people on filesharing programs that mislabel things...

You're autistic!
Ahem . . .
Okay. Could you claim that you are an avatar of a good god, or that perhaps the god is working through you? I'm thinking of something like how voodoo loas speak through people.
no subject
Heh. Ok, that's a lousy idea in gameplay but a really good idea for a character.
And the god thing probably wouldn't work, sadly. This world doesn't really have any gods, or at least the inhabitants don't believe in 'em.
It just occured to me--both the ranger and the druid are allowed to use spells. But those are nature spells...

Now I gotta go re-label everything, thanks a bunch.
