Sunday Indulgences AND Shoutouts

[sky_child]

This is super early, I know, but I just noticed a glaring omission in the back room: there's no Wednesday Night Shout Outs post! And it being Sunday and us being due an Indulgences post, I figured why not kill birds with one stone* get two things done at once?

So, Milliways. Tell me.



What's been awesome this week?

* I don't think Link would be happy about me killing birds...

In RL I went to a orange shirt event, as Charss called it in a text. And in RPage, Teja went to Gotland with Kate, and little Hilde made an awkward remark that leaves them with the need to talk...

Which they are doing now -- thread still in progress, barely started actually. But still. Progress!!

[gavin62truck]

Totally stalking Kate and Teja. Just sayin'.

[tobenormal]

I brought in this guy and I am currently fifteen feet yards from the Monterrey Bay in California. Life is good!

Edited for a more accurate distance.

[basic_powers]

OCEAN!OCEAN!OCEANOCEANOCEANOCEAN!!!

There, I'm done. for now.

I have been having a lot of fun with Erik Selvig in the sandboxes. He has introduced a Jane Foster to Milliways and investigated the door and discussed pantheons with Kale in a long running thread from a still open EP.

Meanwhile, in the bar, I've posted the last of the OOMs that occurred during Jack's sister's wedding. Since then, he has met Claudia during her Bartending and introduced Hank McCoy to Milliways. In both threads he shows off his free climbing skills, which let him scale the walls for fun :D

Finally, I have just put him into the bar with a newspaper.

[jjprobert]

Oh, and I started my job for the next month or so!

[gryphon_leaper]

I got Thalestris in a couple of times, although I need to tag out with her more. She's just explained the Cretan bull-dance basics to Gabriel Tam and Juliet O'Hara. Gotta love culture clash with something as far back as the Bronze Age.

[gavin62truck]

I have been in slowtimey slowtime slowland, but I did manage to officially wrap up Tommy and Voodoo -- warnings for graphic discussion of unpleasant and depressing job-related stuff. Which is the kind of discussion I'd been wanting Tommy to have for a long time. Thanks, Voodoo-mun, for letting him spill like that.

On the other end of the spectrum, he met Puck.

As for RL awesomeness, the East Coast heat wave broke and I can sit here without my brain melting out of my ears.

[justdidntseeit]

Oof, Tommy and Voodoo hurt so good. Hella props to you both, for serious.

[fiery_ring]

I can has a Maru :D

[thekidfrombrooklyn]

I brought in this guy :D.

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

And he is lovely.

[ceitfianna]

I posted X-Men OOMs! Here and here, the second one even has a Charles and Erik thread started and that EP is very open. I love my cast.

Then I tagged Sam and Charles out a good bit as well as playing with a teenage Charles over in PFSB and MM.

Sam and Scorpius are adorable. Puck intrigued him in a hilarious way, while Hank just makes him curious. The two Sams had a charming and hard conversation about home. There's also some pyramid action and explaining pyramid to Albus. The pyramid EP is quite open as well, come on team 1, say hi.

Charles talked with Mary Bennet which is fascinating and met Juliet.

I also have figured out what I'm going to do when my lease runs out, move back east and keep looking for a job there.

[death_gone_mad]

Somehow, I have been doing some actual threading.

So, beginning with the end of last week, Amascut made an entrance and slightly squicked Enzo. Then she did some bartending on Friday and The Fool, as is his habit, filled her head with bad ideas (still ongoing).

Also, I have been stalking Skaði and Loki

[afullmargin]

Still heavily in the OOM land here.

Henry & Archie are kind of yea... back there somewhere in my head.

But Gus has a slowtimed couple dates still happening OOM for later posting. And, started up a man-date with Shawn because they need to eventually talk about things, even if it's because Gus is hammered and gets a little mouthy about things he won't remember. And! He's got sweetness going on with Rae who like so very many has been excellent to him. <3

Michael is... damn busy. OOM in Miami with Emma which happens before the concurrent OOM going on with William & Jack Twist. In addition there is stirrings of canon-based plotting going on... just sort of slowly considering leading up the Season 1 finale.

RL sucks. I don't even want to deal with any of that. But, I have cute kids, so it's ok.

[gavin62truck]

Stalking Michael and Emma. Just sayin'.

[mnt_leo]

I've been indulging in bring this guy out from storage in Mixed_Muses.
Oh HP!AU-TMNT, how I just can't quit you...

[balancingminds]

I need to tag that with HP!AU Will at some point since I miss that world as it was fun.

[sky_child]

My friend and I started up what's become a surprisingly long thread in which my Link visits another Link's time.

...and promptly draws his blade when he sees the other Link's horse. Meanwhile he barely has any reaction in another thread where he encounters a wild New York City subway train!

However, there are cats (and Link making the most absurd prediction possible about Zelda's future.)

[kd7sov]

Is it bad that I wanted the explanation of cuccos to be along the lines of "those things that you hit with your sword and then a bunch of them kill you to death"?

[themightyspazz]

I saw The Avengers and the season finale of The Legend of Korra in one weekend.

Let me sum up my feelings for you.

ASIDFJJSNSDFVNJSDFJVPOIUJWERGOJCXVKJNIPASDFKLVSDFJBNLSDAERFGOIMUNARSGPOKSHOOOOOOOOOLYSHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT

My keyboard hates me now. But it's okay.

[bcgphoenix]

Gaeta gets T-minus! And...I feel like I should toss up some kind of generalized disclaimer/apology about his mood swings and prickliness from now on. :( He is not doing well, and it takes a lot of effort to fake politeness in person unless he knows somebody pretty well nowadays.

Over in RL, I just spent the whole afternoon designing a theoretical Legend of Korra roller derby league logo. For...reasons. >.>

[sky_child]

You would not happen to have a link to this logo would you?

[the_gene_genie]

Finally finished Ashes canon. Which was great, and also a relief.

Thank you to everyone who tagged Gene on his EP directly afterwards, and tried to help. I loved loved loved all those threads. <3

Also, loving him being reunited with Alex, though it's not going to be easy.

Massive thanks to everyone who read along, and let us know you dug it! It was hard work at times, but worth it.

[lady_bols]

It's done, isn't it? It's really done. ~falls over ded~

[sdelmonte]

Cyborg meets Sunshine of the past. And then catches up to Sunshine of the present and learns what was up with the past.

Also, after a very long absence, Gibbs is back in the Bar.

[ladysingsthe]

I RECORDED AN RP RELATED SONG.

... In other news, I am so so so so tired, but hoping to recover soon! May I beg y'all's continued indulgence (Sunday indulgence???) on Ava, 'Dite, and Puck threads? Or if you would rather fade, please let me know.


Also if you'd like a thread, let me know! EPs tend to be forever-taking when I do them, but OOMs are magical! Hearts!

[gavin62truck]

AHAHA. Holy crap, that was amazing and hilarious.

You're almost inspiring me to record my Tommy Gavin Irish drinking song.

[agonistes]

Karen and I wrapped Mike-Boyd, in which Mike is extremely patient and kind and Boyd is VERY SUSPICIOUS and also drunk. :DDDD KAREN, YOU ARE MY FAVORITE.

[ikissdhimbck]

I wrapped a score of threads yesterday, and I promised a few that I would post here about how completely wonderful they were.

Maru already mentioned the Gotland oom above, and thank you to all who commented. My heart hurts a little for them. ^^;

Over Cubefall, Kate made friends with an adorable fake psychic kitten — a follow-up is planned — and saw her very first Elephant up close, thanks to Elephenzo. Hallia and I were also going to wrap Dug the Horse and man!Kate, but have decided we're having too much fun, so honestly I'm just flaunting our giggles. I have no idea what's going on here, either. ^__^

Also wrapped yesterday: a chat with Charles Xavier; Kate offers assistance to The Waco Kid; and plans are finally in motion for some plot with Butch Cassidy out in Texas. Been working on this for a while, so I'm excited to see things finally happening.

Phew, yesterday was busy. Thank you to everybody for the wonderful threads!

[gypsyjr]

Oh man, Dug and Kate are so precious.

And just for the heck of it, here's the end of the Kate and Shawn thread in sketch form.

[forgottenmotley]

The Fool and Will Turner meet. Staring is had.

[pastrydeity]

I am apparently self-threading like some as-seen-on-TV sewing needle; I feel like most of what I've done lately has been amongst myself but that's what happens when you take a year off and feel the need to make up for lost time with all your plot and then thanks to the insomnia Loki ate my brain and now demands all the plots ever and with my brain eaten how can I say no which is why he's got so much plot coming up but srsly if anybody wants any of my pups just let me know and we can make stuff happen, I am always up for mayhem of any kind

With that said I am still entertained by the ongoing fallout of the Skaði/Loki fight, including his gratuitous prison nudity (poor Teja)

[ihavemyflaws]

My weekend has been full of parents. Both in-laws and actual parents, but not at the same time.

But I got an EP up for the first time in too long, and it unexpectedly got tags and I'm thrilled by every single one! So instead of going to bed like a reasonable person I have stars for eyes and want to catch up.

[sky_child]

this has been my life minus the "full of parents"

i mean my mom's around but she's always around

[boomsticking]

I have slowly been pulling out of slowtime-related suckage on my part:

HILIGHTS OF THE WEEK:

* Pinkie met The Fool and is trying to help name his puppy. They will have Shenanigans. She also met her sister from a different species, Leslie Knope.

* Dixie is gearing up for more OOM-ery.

* Clementines is in more massive slows, but she and Tommy Gavin are flirting and she's making out with several different people at once as usual. Considering taking her partway through S2 canon and deal with the Garcia episode. Licia and I are planning on eventually putting Sam n' Clem back together in a month or two, so we should be lying down groundwork for that.

* Juliet finally tended bar and met a bunch of new people!

[ladyoflorien]

It was the glaringest of glaring omissions, and thank you for correcting the oversight! I had one of those weeks where it felt like suprise!attack monkeys leapt out with hammers every few hours to mash on my brain, and when it was pointed out I'd forgotten Shout-Outs I said, "I'll throw them up on Friday morning!" Annnnd failed. *facepalm* SO THANK YOU FOR THIS. ♥

(Also, I meant to mention this last week, but bravo to you for instituting one of the best Back Room traditions. It's lovely to see you bringing out the Indulgences! :D)

DOING MY PART, I HAVE THINGS FROM LAST WEEK TO SHOUT OUT IF ANYBODY IS STILL WATCHING:

• Will Turner! I so wanted to tag this, and then ... failed (theme?). Am enjoying the heck out of reading along, though.
  
• Hank McCoy's first entrance. So, so excited to have him in the bar.
  
• Sunshine's b-day post. Oh, Rae.
  
• I cannot get enough Sallie & Splinter (With bonus Mal!). It is like crack candy.
  
• Tommy Gavin's last OoM. Um, ow.
  
• William Evans and Michael Westen. You guuuuuuys.
  
• Steve McGarrett's First Entrance/Happy Hour, with bonus Danno! Splendid!
  
• Jack Twist and Dug! Which just makes my heart want to melt all over the place.

STOPPING NOW. Gah, so much accumulated awesome. I'm probably missing many more, but seriously everybody has been so amazing lately. ♥

[sky_child]

Thanks! I'm all paranoid now that people think I'm hijacking the Indulgences or whatever, but this time I was just, oh no there wasn't a thread pimp post, and, it's 5 am on Sunday what do I have that's better to do???
