This has probably already been discussed somewhere and possibly even resolved, but as I’m new to the community and there are over a thousand posts already existing, I’m rather disinclined to go in search of it. So if this topic has been beaten dead I apologize lol I was doing some thinking tonight after coming across production sketches of Beckett’s Jamaican headquarter offices, on the balcony of which were naval gaurds. I don’t know why I never realized it sooner but it seems so obvious now that he would have had guards stationed at many places before his office and after it when Elizabeth came in and held him at gunpoint to force him to sign and seal the letters of mark. How did she get past the guards at the front? Why did they not seize her as she left? Furthermore (and this is something I’ve been wondering since the second movie first came out), why did Beckett not call her bluff when she was holding a pistol to his throat. Clearly she wasn’t going to shoot him, she needed him alive to sign and seal the letters, and if nothing else the sound would have ensured her arrest. He must have known that (hell I did, and I’m not half as calculating as he is lol), so why did he allow her to force his signature and allow her escape? Did he do it on purpose, and if so why? Or were the Disney writers just betting on their audience not really noticing amidst all the suspense? What do we think ladies? Ps- take into your calculations his smirk and ‘wouldn’t you like to know’ sound of amusement when Jack asked what Beckett wanted with Elizabeth (the answer to which is still a complete, rather distasteful mystery to me lol).

Sometimes, there's that instant spark; sometimes, there isn't. There's nothing wrong or right about either way, it's just different. I wasn't very gung-ho about my husband for the first couple dates, but the attraction and interest developed. |

Aaaaaand good morning to all. I hope you all had a great week and are going to have an even better weekend. Today I'm curious how Beckett celebrates his or indeed anyone's birthday in your opinion. (No, I'm not ego-centered at all, why do you ask?) Does he look at it as a necessary evil or does he enjoy getting pampered by others? :) As always, feel free to chat about anything that takes your fancy. And please, please give each other prompts and write drabbles, ficlets, anything, there's nothing better than giving and receiving fic. :):) *offers some of her birthday cake leftovers to all who write commentfic* Have fun my dears! |

Во первЫх строках своего поста - жизненно-организационное... Что-то у меня всё плохо-плохо со временем и возможностями мобильности; причём настолько, что вместо меня на концерт Брюно Пельтье завтра (или уже сегодня?..) иду не я, но тоже два билета, да (если вы с первого раза поняли, что я хотела этим сказать - ура, у нас схожая логика)). И как-то что-то ваша Док так страшно смутировала поведенческой парадигмой в это полнолуние, что даже Чиффе боязно. За день до этого самого полнолуния Док просто ходила и томным голосом напевала что-то англо-немецкое про мужчин в форме. В день полнолуния - через третьи руки вручала народным массам по дешёвке "из личных запасников" пятилитровую канистру рома. В тот же день - грохнула ВСЮ (!) первую зарплату на шмотки (причём на Чёрные, Кожаные и Типично Женские, именно с заглавных букв, каблуков и квадратного декольте)... Хотя, не всю-таки на шмотки; на жалкий остаток посидела в кафе с дивной lake_virgin (мальчик-официант, которого мы дрессируем, кстати, начал приносить нормальные чайники, ура нам)) и купила последний диск And One.)) Кто-то даже поймёт мой глумливый смех на тему последнего. Кто не понял - поясню на пальцах: And One - готический немецкий синтпоп с довольно-таки чересчур чувственными текстами... а на последней пластинке идёт такое уахаха и расколбас в живой записи, что аж чакры шевелятся.))) Ретро-вечеринка синтипопических (слово © ingwer) фриков на выезде, мать моя, не иначе.)))До кучи к музыкальностям и прочему, конечно, бодрит культура быта, да. Вообразите зарисовочку... Заходит Док на кухню, "ништяков каких-нить заточить" ©. И - ВНЕЗАПНО!!1, а то, - дикий вопль муттер: - ВОЗЬМИ ПУПКОВ!!! Словами не описать истерику в моём лице при мысли о том, что не всякий наблюдатель поймёт, что имелось в виду заливное из куриных брюшек, которое муттер меня в ультимативной форме ("Хорош жрать оливки, возьми пупков!") уговаривает скушать.))) И это я ещё молчу про антикризисное вуду-заливное из куриных же голов и лапок, которое в нашей семье может употреблять только бабушка...))) Ну и, под занавес... раз уж в этом посте уже есть одна песня Прекрасного Немецкого Мужчины™ - удовлетворим постулат "Бог любит троицу". Всяко - делюсь совершенно бескорыстно, чтобы ваша ночь тоже ЗВУЧАЛА. Пусть первым будет ремикс Schiller'а на и без того дивную песню Bernstein, "Paradies" (перевод текста есть тут)... ...а заполируем мы версией Pinelli трека Графа из Unheilig, "An deiner Seite" (перевод текста есть тут). Мне раньше наивно казалось, что этот вокал просто не мог звучать ЕЩЁ нежнее; я ошибалась. Ночи вам, други. Снов повкусней. И улыбайтесь. Обязательно.

I'm writing this for a minor character pairing contest~ Pen Name: red_planet31 Rating of the story: Gen, probably Spoilers/Time Line: After HBP, probably Post-Hogwarts Pairing: Cormac McLaggen/Romilda Vane Beta Type: Mostly whether the characters are in character or not. Some of my lines seem kinda awkward so any help there would be great. Grammar, usage of British slang, content, etc. Harshness: Not too harsh. I'd love constructive criticism~ Warning: Umm... my sense of humor? Extras: The word count is limited to at most 300 words. It's a humor drabble and mostly uses dialouges. And the deadline is 10 November. Thanks! |
