sorting things out

For the last few days I haven't so much been doing creative things
just rearranging my folders of pictures, the ones I save off the internet instead of impulse buying shiny things.

... I have so so many shiny things in pictures.
... so many.

I have fewer repeat saves than I thought, but still some of the best swords end up with half a dozen copies, so that's nice.

I had been intending to sort my CD collection into new extra drawers, but the drawers are getting exchanged due to many faults. They're all wrapped up waiting for the courier. They were a nice shape and size though, they'll fit great when the properly made sort arrive.

I also have been meeting my move and exercise goals all month, which is new and improved compared to the last half of last year. They're still not ambitious move goals but they're higher than they were, so, progress.

I like the youtubes Nice Walks, and also putting on audio adventures while I do stuff. But the general doing stuff doesn't count as exercise, exercise needs to right tempo. So far that's a lot of walking on the spot.

I've sorted a lot of old electricals and admitted I'm finally willing to let go of my old VCR (not plugged in for Many years) so I have like a shopping trolley full of stuff plus the VCR and a robot vacuum cleaner all to go to the recycle dump. Which is real progress but still sitting in my living room until someone can take it up there, so a few more weeks.

Slow and steady.

Giles and Ethan and Chaos and possibility

I think the Ethan Rayne I've been building up in my head for the last twenty odd years got political in ways other people's fic mostly doesn't.

I keep thinking about Giles/Ethan because order meets chaos and new creative possibilities emerge between them.

I also feel like dropping Ethan into Golarion to show him the careful what you wish for world, the high magic everyone can do this world, post multiple apocalypses.

Easy enough to use canon from both sides to get him there, multiple Adventure Paths have characters go from Golarion to Earth, and one has time travel in case anyone wants to complain about timelines not lining up.

Plus it's pretty easy to imagine him going 'anywhere but here' after canon left him.

I dont know, I havent pulled together a coherent story yet, just...

There were so many problems in the Buffyverse and giving the power of epic punching to even a really large number of young women doesn't seem likely to fix them all.

Neither would magic, but wouldn't it be fun to try?


So I'm trying to think up an Ethan shaped world, and see how Giles would balance it out, instead of the other way around.

I feel like Giles probably thinks the world is basically okay, apart from all the demons and undead and cults tearing holes in the world, and that's pretty frustrating.




I keep on getting focused on villains because they keep being the ones saying
This Is Not Okay
and, well, *gestures at everything*


The people who want to preserve the world have an important point, but they can't be the only ones driving, you know?


So.


Don't reckon G/E will be the key to sorting out the worlds problems
but wouldnt it be fun trying?
