Always To Return to Me, Chapter 2
Chaotic spring cleaning, a peek into Ruby's childhood, and a trip home for Max.
A GIGS D&D AU story
mmmmm breadsticks 🥖🥖🥖
A compilation of Cub being a walking Scar encyclopedia (and being very proud of it)
[Transcript:
Clip 1:
SCAR: Etho... I dunno if you guy have heard about his poop hose. It often freezes in the winter.
REN: The what now?
CLEO: Sorry, what?
REN: Wait, what?
CLEO: What?
SCAR: He's got like an above ground septicー
CUB: Scar loves this, and brings this up at every possible opportunity. [SCAR laughs]
REN: What freezes?
CUB: [CUB laughs] He does! He loves this.
CLEO: I, I missedー What freezes, Scar?
SCAR: Okay, it's my favorite Etho lore.
CLEO: Okay.
SCAR: So, he's got an above ground septic tank that is just like, a hose. And it freezes at night, that sometimes needs... unfreezing.
Clip 2:
CUB: Why did you think about this specifically though, Scar?
SCAR: I was watching a video on it the other day. [SCAR laughs]
TANGO: [TANGO mutes and talks to chat] "Bikini Atoll", got ya.
CUB: Whatever Scar has most recently watched, Tango, that what is always on his mind.
TANGO: Yeah, yeah. [CUB laughs with SCAR] Very influenced by recent events.
CUB: Yeah!
Clip 3:
CUB: Xisuma, are you one of those people who like, subscribes to a streaming service, and then cancel the streaming service after a few months?
XISUMA: Yup. I just shuffle the streaming.
SCAR: My man.
CUB: Oh! [CUB claps] He's a streammaxxer! Let's go! [XISUMA laughs]
SCAR: We've got two streammaxxers here!
CUB: Streammaxing! Scar is a big streammaxxer as well.
XISUMA: It's smart! It's smart. Just stick to one platform for a lil' while, make the most out of your money, then move on to another one.
SCAR: Exactly. Exactly.
Clip 4:
SKIZZ: I have a buddy, whose father like, worked there sometimes. You know what I mean? Cause he's likeー
SCAR: Did he fly on Janet?
SKIZZ: I don't even know what that means.
CUB: Scar is deep, deep, deep into the Area 51 stuff. Just so you know. [CUB laughs] Just beware.
SKIZZ: I mean, when you say "did he ride Janet?" you might want to clear up what you're asking. [SKIZZ laughs]
SCAR: Janet Air is the third party contractorー
Clip 5
CUB: [CUB reads out a resub message] says, "5 months, yippie! Some time ago you said Scar told you he was the Ore Snatcher. Was that true? Or did you just say that to mess with the hermits? Also similarly, have you told any of the hermits that you were the Jingler before the official reveal?"
Scar actually did not tell me, but I knew. [CUB laughs] I know Scar quite well, and I've been around Scar enough to know how he types on signs, and what spelling mistakes he makes on signs, and how he operates in terms of like, how he like, plays the game. So I knewー I was like 99% sure it was Scar, because I actually came up with the idea for the ore snatcher. Back in the beginning of season 10, close to the beginning of season 10, on a stream with Jevin, Scar and Joe. So I knew it had to be one of those people.
Jevin was not on enough during the time when the Ore Snatcher was active, for it to be him. And Joe I suspected wouldn't be the Ore Snatcher because he livestreams so much and would to go through so much extra work, to get the Ore Snatcher stuff done. So I suspected Scar from the start, and then once I saw the sign I knew 100% it was Scar. And I said it was Scar from the very beginning and nobody believed me! Nobody belived me!! They all thought it was me trying to pin it on Scar or something, oh my god!

one argument you often see about fanfiction is that it's like 'training wheels' writing? like 'oh it's fine to do that while you're still learning, it's easier than coming up with your own ideas'. and I have to say I have just never agreed with that.
in my experience it's actually pretty common for newbie fanfiction writers to gravitate towards coming up with OCs rather than writing about the canon characters (hence the infamous Mary Sue); this suggests that many people find that 'easier' than attempting to write about pre-existing characters.
I would say that recreating the characterisation, mood and general vibes of an existing work of fiction is in fact a skill in and of itself that's acquired via practice. A common compliment delivered to fanfiction writers is how well they have captured the spirit of the original work. Inexperienced fanfiction writers fail to do this.
When creating an original character you can, ultimately, say anything about them and now it's canon bcos you created them and you said so. conversely, well, if you are covering a well known song and start playing the wrong notes people will notice immediately.
In addition: a lot of fanfiction, IMO, is in actuality a form of metafictional literary analysis. a story where two characters sit down and talk about their feelings about a canonical event? literary analysis, which is of course a skill. Sometimes fanfiction is bad bcos the writer is not good at interpreting texts.
finally I have made this point before but you never really see anyone suggesting that fictional works based on existing public domain texts are on 'easy mode'. is it 'easier' to write something based on a copyrighted work than a public domain work? Of course it isn't.
I know I said 'finally' but I forgot a point:
A major strength of the transformative work is its ability to create dramatic irony. If a fanfiction's emotional resonance is dependent on being familiar with the source material that's not necessarily a bad thing. sometimes it's a sign that the author has done a really skillful job of engaging with said source material.
one of my greatest compliments as a writer was someone commenting "I know that you based this off of Cinderella when I started reading but I was still surprised at the end" <3
Every time I'm forced by circumstance to hand-sew something, I remember a fairytale I once read. There are lead-up shenanigans as the humble protagonist helps small animals and meets the princess and all that, but in the climax, the princess rigs a contest for her hand by setting her own task: sew her a dress in a single night.
The noble suitors, who have never sewn a thing in their lives, sabotage themselves by their own ambitions: they choose difficult fabrics to work with and cut huge, elaborate patterns and select gems and pearls and beads to sew onto it, and snip such long bits of thread that they lose time detangling their stitches, and ultimately resort to pinning bits together as they run out of time, so that their offerings initially look beautiful and flashy, but when the princess tries them on they stick her with pin ends and fall apart as she moves.
The humble protagonist uses a very simple pattern without embellishments and sews using short lengths of thread (snipped off and threaded for him by little birds of course) which don't tangle and therefore save time. His dress is plain by contrast, but holds together and the princess is able to move freely in it, and so he wins the contest and her hand.
I particularly think about the bit about threading the needle with shorter lengths of thread, needing to tie off more often but avoiding tangles and thereby saving time.
I then ignore that piece of wisdom passed down through who knows how many years and proceed to cut the longest damn length of thread I can manage because I hate tying off beginning or ending knots and I will not subject myself to more of that even if it does mean more tangles along the way.

Maybe the most damming thing about Nolans odyssey is i haven’t seen a single gifset from it
you know who’s gay? paul the real estate novelist who never had time for a wife and davey who’s still in the navy and probably will be for life
New headcannon: everyone in that song is gay except the Piano Man who has no idea he’s playing at a gay bar and the staff and regulars have a betting pool on how long he’ll take to finally figure it out. So far John is ahead.
“The manager gives me a smile ‘cause he knows that it’s me they’ve been coming to see” also implies that the Piano Man is possibly an incredibly attractive but oblivious himbo, and if you listen to the rest of it imagining that, this all fits a little too well.
this makes too much sense. Also, the full quote is “Now John at the bar is a friend of mine. He gets me my drinks for free. And he’s quick with a joke or to light up your smoke. But there’s someplace that he’d rather be” Yes, your bed, he wants to be on your bed honey, that’s not a joke, he is flirting with you.
Lighting another man’s cigarette is some old-school gay cruising.
Billy Joel actually addressed this interpretation!
You know, good on him for just rolling with it.
It’s especially good humoured bc the song is based on his actual experience. He gave up recording music for a time in order to force his record company to let him out of a bad contract. To keep himself afloat, he took a job as a pianist in a bar (might’ve been a hotel bar? I forget) under the name ‘William Martin’ (Martin being Joel’s middle name).

i do think it's funny that the beginning of this snippet and the heartthrobs line implies that the interviewer thinks they are talking about like girls having crushes on them and writing themselves into fics with them but jay is like no this is specifically about our on-screen relationship don't get it twisted
He still doesn't know (additional context)
