Dreamed I did security planning for weddings.
Now that's a speciality the wedding games haven't tried yet.
But everything from a couple of big lads to explain the free bar was for guests up to the kind of small campaign necessary for those just short of state protection was part of a full service wedding plan.
The big day is stressful enough without being the sort of person who might get kidnapped for the ransom.
There was even a plan for people who'd been shot at in the last week. It involved another two big lads, standing front and back so there was no clear shot. If the shooting was in the past day there'd need to be a whole circle of them.
I was not ideal for that aspect of the job, but for sufficiently short brides I could be better than nothing.

So now I'm imagining Thor's wedding. Specifically, trying to do security at Thor's wedding.
Leaving aside that SHIELD would be the ones all over that, woah would that ever have issues with its issues.

I've been thinking on my vague project to re imagine the DCU, or file the serial numbers off hard enough I actually would want to read it again. I've tagged it superhero so I can find it again later. Specifically I've been thinking about Wonder Woman, and recasting that with Nichelle Nichols, Gina Torres, Zoe Saldana, and... I don't know, a teenager, I don't know a lot of teenagers.

Possible problems: making black people aliens is kind of creepy. Making them possibly alien androids is possibly creepier. But the story is meant to be about how treating people as things is the very creepiest, so there is an example of treating people as things, and then they rise above it.

Actual problems: I never get around to writing these ideas.


But so far my superheroes are queer mages and inventors, Dark Knights with actual dark skins, golden Supers, and a whole society of wonder women who are black. I actually have to invent some straight white people to round out the diversity. I think I like that a lot better than the DCU.

Is anyone going to The Hub 8?
Guests include Kai Owen and Gareth David Lloyd, and some other people from the first two seasons.
It's next weekend.
I got an email about it, a tickets are still available please go sort of email.
This is going to be the last Torchwood convention from Massive Events.
So I was thinking, I may as well go.
But I don't know if anyone else at all is.
Can't be many, if it's stopping.

Torchwood fandom has been acting like canon closed years ago. Winding down for ages.

So now I have to decide before next weekend if I want to go party.
At an event that as far as I can see hasn't announced the party themes.
