LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS TO BEAT THE HELLFIRE CLUB

[luciazephyr]

To Do List:


1. Finish MoC chapter.

2. Write Dresden Files meta, either about the erasure of consent and free will in non-mundane characters, or about Proven Guilty's copious off-the-charts sexism.

3. Do laundry.

4. Go to Whole Foods and buy 3534534 pumpkin scones.

5. Watch kuwdora's Tonight I'm Fucking You XMFC vid 50 times.

6. Read Changes, seeing how I have been solidly warned off Turn Coat. I asked shiplizard point blank it, given how disgusted I was with PG, should I even attempt TC, and she told me no. I trust her judgement and will skip merrily past TC.

7. Watch this video about 40 more times.

ETA: So I was babbling incoherently about the consent issues of the series and how Harry barely notices with they happen to other people, let alone himself, right? Right.

@HarriedWizard: ...what?
Lucy: I don't think I have a way to explain it to you until I inevitably write a paper on it.
Lucy: But were you not 1357 miles away, I'd put my arms around your neck and give you the biggest hug. Might need a footstool tho.
Harry: For you, Lucy, I'd bend down. No charge.
Lucy: Aw, sweetheart. :smiles:

I don't even remember TC. I kept picking up the books as they came out and then got less and less excited about actually reading them. I thought it was because Dresden was hitting the limit of Realistic Trauma, where after that limit, there is not way the Chara wouldn't be a gibbering wreck IRL and so anything more is pointless angst-porn. But, yeah. Thank you fandom for pointing out I was having to edit more and more sexism and consent issues out of the text before I could enjoy it.

VID: That is frickin' hilarious. Best mash-up of training montages EVAR.
