New h/c bingo card

[sholio]

Sooooo I went and got another one.

undeserved reputation	protection	isolation	archaic medical treatment	dungeons
forced soulbonding	hypoglycemia / low blood sugar	group support	loss of hearing	brainwashing / deprogramming
imprisonment	unwanted transformation	WILD CARD	tyranny / rebellion	confession in desperate situation
family	telepathic trauma	wings	de-age	side effects
bruises	invisibility	motion sickness	strapped to a moving vehicle	Stockholm syndrome

I definitely liked my old card better. Some of these have potential, though.

I could seriously work with about 75% of that card.

The remaining 25% is like, wut.

[sholio]

I actually had one before it that was just, NO. I asked them to give me a replacement, because they included one of the squares I'd vetoed (tentacles) so I figured that gave me a technical out. I would've tried to roll with it if I liked it otherwise, but it was borderline unusable -- every single line included at least one square that was simply "what the fuck do I do with this."

>.> I may actually steal some of the prompts here privately in an attempt to get myself unstalled. (As if I were just to write another captivity fic my brain will sabotage me going "YOU ALREADY DID THIS NOBODY WANTS TO SEE YOU DO THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER" but if it's for a prompt somehow that's OK.)

[sholio]

Oh sure, steal away. :D This is really just for personal inspiration for me - there is NO WAY I'm actually going to finish any kind of bingo before the current round closes in less than a week, but I wanted to have it around to give me ideas and, yeah, a guilt-free excuse to write indulgent stuff. (I, too, find it much easier when there is a prompt for an excuse. WHY ARE BRAINS.) So it'd be nice if it pays off for other people too!

[recessional]

I mean like EVERY INDICATION, INCLUDING THE NATURE OF FANDOM, IS ACTUALLY TO THE CONTRARY?

AND YET.

Oh BRAINS.

[umadoshi]

"Strapped to a moving vehicle"...? So that's a thing. *blinks*

[sholio]

It's weirdly specific, isn't it? Also, every time I think about that prompt, my brain gets stuck on Mad Max.

That was what immediately came to my mind too.

I keep thinking about old adventure movies/tv tropes, where people are like tied up in a mine-cart speeding towards a precipice, or similar on the front of a train. Or towards dynamite or something.

[umadoshi]

Ohhh, that makes sense!

[recessional]

I mean all the images that pop up in my head are of late C20 cartoons MOCKING the old adventure shows/movies for this silly trope, BUT. I suppose it's still a trope and if we started excluding h/c tropes for being silly we'd break our glass house PRETTY QUICK. >.>

This is almost painfully true.

....I am a bad person, because all it made me think of was that news story where Mitt Romney drove ten hours or something with his dog on the roof of the car.

[umadoshi]

Well, I imagine the dog was in need of a lot of comfort after that, so technically it's not inappropriate...

(But oh gosh, that Romney thing. WTF, humans?)

(OH MY GOD IT'S A CLAUDIA ICON I LOVED HER SO)

(AHEM. Warehouse 13 fans unite!)

[umadoshi]

I have many Claudia icons! *^^* W13 is one of my very favorite shows (although I pretend season 5 never happened), and I love Allison Scagliotti's work. (She's almost too old for the role now, but I cling to dreams of her playing the female lead in Newsflesh.)

As a sign of my love, our cats are named Claudia and Jinksy. ^_^

[kore]

What season five? It was cancelled after season four, right? I always imagined H.G. and Mika settled down together. Most of S4 never happened either, at least not that terrible Evil Artie storyline

That actress is phenomenal -- everyone else in the show was great, but she just popped right off the screen.

As a sign of my love, our cats are named Claudia and Jinksy.

That is AWWesome. Is Claudia orange?

[umadoshi]

What season five? It was cancelled after season four, right?

Ah, yes. I sometimes forget that was all a nightmare. I'm selective about season 4.

Our Claudia is the charming brown tabby in this icon, and her brother Jinksy is black. ^_^
