Wednesday DE

[splash_of_blue]

Morning all! By kind permission of Maru, I bring to you a Midweek Guest DE:

What strange devilry has Milliways committed in your brain? Are there mental associations or assumptions that you always make because of this game which would be completely bizarre or nonsensical to a non-player?

I'll start:
- Matt Bellamy is not the lead singer of Muse but in fact a ridiculous hotshot space pilot. (Hi Wes!)

- The correct lyrics to a certain famous Nineties pop hit are "And I said what about//Breakfast at Milliways". As I discovered at a club last weekend when it played and I sang the correct improved lyrics...

- When very stressed, I repeat to myself the mantra of "All shall be well and all manner of things shall be well... timezones permitting." (I saw it on someone's icon back in the LJ days and it stuck.)

- "Let us not go to X... it is a silly place" is not a Monty Python reference, it's a Millicon motto. (And 'try not to die' is not a Runaways battlecry, but ditto.)

- "Dropped a house on her" doesn't recall The Wizard of Oz, but Puck and Blodwen, cariad.

One of the big things for me is whenever I spot toys of certain characters, I think about Milliways' people and have that moment of oh, its Clint or Fallout, I wonder if their player would like this. I've also had this happen much more on Twitter and Tumblr when I see art of other canons and going, must share this so the player will see it.

Trailers for new movies can be very strange if there are faces I know but they don't seem right. Also when it comes to my PBs, if I see them in something else, I'm immediately thinking, would still from this work for icons or could this be IMDB flu material. Tumblr has multiplied the effect of this with all the gifs and stills it provides. An example is how when Logan Lerman was in Three Musketeers, I pretty much hid through the entire movie as I had such second hand embarrassment for him, he was so earnest while everyone else was chewing scenery. Later though his D'Artagnan was perfect for IMDB flu.

Whenever I see certain books in the bookstore, its like oh, hello canon of my friend, also true of movies or when I see a TV show. I've stopped and watched lots of unexpected things because I remember they were connected to a Milliways' canon. Recommending comes in a different way too because I don't always play main characters but I want everyone to read my canons.

Meeting a Milliways' person for the first time and the name that sticks in the online handle. I now answer to Fi in person because of this. And that moment of interacting on a different social network and trying to place by wait, who do you play?

Having a really firm idea of a canon due to how its played in Milliways and finally seeing it and going either oh, it all makes sense or huh, they improved it.
