beccaelizabethHaving one of those days when I can't quite settle to anything.
So I read the internet,
and then listened to like 3/4 of Sword of Orion (8 and Charley Big Finish)
before getting distracted by the internet again.
I have the feeling there secretly is something I want to do but it is Hiding so instead I have just about managed to eat a food and drink a ribena.
Maybe I want to write?
I keep putting characters all in the same place but then it turns into I Packed My Bag And In It I Put, like my mediocre nightmares of endless packing where the fire alarms go off but I keep trying to put enough stuff in a bag instead of leaving. I keep having to wake up and take mental inventory of which things I could just go to a supermarket and buy instead so I should not need to pack them. But no, boring packing again. Only when it is characters you have to worry about if you're secretly going on a one way trip through an interdimensional castle... as you do... and then you have to pack for EVERYthing.
Adventure can start when I have calculated a year's supply of loo roll and how much salt I can fit in a shopping trolley if the supermarket has it or potentially if we hit all the supermarkets in walking distance.
This is not massively helpful.
I keep trying to remind myself Conjob manages with whatever he's got in his pockets ie usually a lighter and a pack of silk cut.
... TV Constantine 2014 gave him an entire house full of arcane artefacts, like JLDark gave him the House of Mystery or Secrets, and it bothers me. That's a whole different arcane archetype. That's the arcane equivalent of those old lady puppets in Labyrinth with the backpacks bigger than they are. And then the story doesn't allow any of it to ever make a difference anyway. He collects it all, he tries it in the middle of the story, he gets his arse kicked until he goes back to the comics original level of desperate measures. That's a very different story. They have accidentally made him subject to
futile packing
also.
The other way to think of it is to wonder what adventures I would be adequately equipped for if they were to arrive at my door right now
but that sort of thinking leads to wishlist full of survivalist stuff and military surplus gear with all the pockets.
Like I would still interrupt the adventuring to pack
but that would be the explanation for like
the first thirty years.
... the more I ponder this the less enthused I am...
Captain Jack Harkness manages with whatever is on him because what is on him is a wrist strap that works at the speed of the plot. Same with the Doctor and the sonic screwdriver that is straight up casting force wall these days. So that keeps the adventure moving but it moves ever further away from stuff you can guess or aspire to.
... says someone reading about magic...
I have tagged this plot bunnies but that is a lie. It is only a bunny like the ones they show greyhounds. Energizer bunny of out of reach same same.
I shall go... finish Sword of Orion I guess.
