I... I just...
The Adorkable Not-Quite-Crackfic With Plenty Of Palace Hijinks
Scarecrow's Key by Zippy the Avenger - He’d answered the door hardly clad at all, in only his boots and trousers and a starchy white shirt and cravat and his vest! His shirtsleeves were showing, for Lurline’s sake! Delightful and flail-inducing and giggle-worthy from start to finish. Perfectly spot-on characterization with some wonderful OCs and just... yes. Yes yes yes.Now please do parts 2 & 3 of
A Tin Man Parody. And yes I am still perptually updating the
master list. I'm of the sudden mind that it, like fandom, needs moar Raw. *knows just what to add to it*
DG: I had a dream about an actress with lavender contact lenses. She said a storm was coming.
HANK: I’ll alert FEMA.
DG: Like that’d do any good.
RED HAT: Don’t make fun of our feathery accoutrements, spy!
AZKEDELLIA: I suck out your soul!
LONNET: KILL’D!
AZKEDELLIA: Mmm, tastes like failure. Zero’s the new general, BTW.
ZERO: Yikes.
DG: -suspicion- Mama always told me never to trust a white guy with dreadlocks.
GLITCH: I’m Glitch. People call me that because I’m endearingly absent-minded.
GLITCH: Yes. I wasn’t always a lovable spazz, you know. I was actually very smart. I was kind of a big deal. People knew me. I had many leather-bound books.
DG: Swell.
GLITCH: I wanna be on you.
DG: SPARTA! -beats the shit out of…holograms?-
CAIN: I was imprisoned in that crazy steampunk scuba suit for eight years, forced to watch Zero beating the shit out of my wife and son over and over! I will hunt him down, and I will say to him “Hello, my name is Wyatt Cain. You beat the shit out of, and possibly killed, my family. Prepare to die.”
CAIN: -bends over to pick something up-
CAIN’S PANTS: -be TOIGHT!-
CAIN FANGIRLS: Yowza!
DG: Okay, will you guys knock off the cuteness battle so the fangirls can shut up and we can move along with the story, please?
RAW: -comes a-tumblin’ out-
RAW FANGIRL: Yay!
CAIN AND GLITCH FANGIRLS: WTF?
GREAT BIG CLIFF: -is GREAT BIG!-
LAVENDER EYES: My beehive knows all!
DG: Yo fluffy, wanna come closer to the fire?
RAW: -sniffle- You should have left me to die!
GLITCH: Oh, great. If he starts trying to discuss MCR lyrics with me am I so going to lose it…
DG: -looks bewildered-
GLITCH: It’s cuter when I do it.
DG reaches out for presents, and instead gets a strange swirly mark scorched into her palm. Dude, DG’s mom is a dick.
CAIN: Obey my will, tiny ethnic man, for I am macho!
DEMILO: Fair enough. Everyone pile in!
SOME RANDOM MINION: We called the Geek Squad and had them fiddle with the robo-parents, and they divulged all of the insidious robo-secrets! Also, I finally got my iPod fixed.
GLITCH: How come we have to do all this trekking?
CAIN: How come you’re HOGGING THE ONLY BLANKET, GLITCH?
GLITCH: Don’t judge me.
GLITCH: Wait! I don’t think you had time to notice how the artist captured my aura of quiet intensity!
everyone pretty much just stands around staring at stuff and waiting for the plot to come back.
THE PLOT: -sails in through the window-
CAIN: -gets beaten up, shot, thrown out the window, plummets onto solid ice, and sinks into a freezing lake of horrible chilly death-
AZKEDELLIA: -throws her top open-
THE TWO RANDOM LONGCOATS: Hells yeah!
A BUNCH OF MOBATS: -fly out of Azkedellia’s cleavage, omg!-
THE TWO RANDOM LONGCOATS: Hells no! Hells no!
ZIPPY: And that, good people, is how you know that this is a Scifi Original.
I cannot overstate the brilliance of that bit of fiction. Need part 2 and 3, mostly for the inevitible bit where the Cain and Glitch fangirls set aside their diferences and become slashers.
ETA moar: I am just spamming this post to hell and back.
ITEM THE FIRST:
Zipperhead: the official cocktail of Glitch-fen everywhere. And it sounds AWESOME.
ITEM THE SECOND: Watching the Northern Island sequence (AGAIN) I am now convinced that the flute thing is Glitch's theme. It crops up when he's all "I knew I wasn't an idiot!" and again in part 2 when he'd getting up and wandering off to find Cain's hat and gun and whatnot. Flute = Glitch. Win.
