Hi :)

Hello,

I'm midas, but you can call me... god (just kidding)

I've been on tumblr for quite a while now but I wasn't really active. And since a new school year is about to begin, I decided to give it a shot, and try to actually post stuffs on here.

I will post mostly about fandom (Mostly Dead Boy Detectives and PJO, I think), movies, books, music and being a student (I study humanities).

So if you want to be moots with me, I am... right here :)))

PS : I'm french.

The thing with amateur local theater is it is almost always bad BUT keeping it alive is the most important thing

It's the Sherigham Point Lighthouse, if you wondering.

I am currently rewatching Dead Boy Detectives and I just realized that I've visited the lighthouse where they filmed the case of the lighthouse leapers (Ep 04).

I don't live near the lighouse at all. I don't even live in the same country or continent as it. I just visited it on a holiday 3 years ago. It was during a summer camp, and I had the best time ever. I lived some of my favourite memories there, travelling across Canada and the state of Washington.

So seeing on the screen this place that reminds me of moments of joy and friendship in a show which brings me joy as well is just amazing.

Gay fanfiction is the only reason I believe in love

Quick note on Charles's speech for fic writers or anyone interested, really.

Charles uses tag questions, where he ends a sentence with a question, doesn't he? I see a lot of "innit" thrown at the end of sentences, which is right, sometimes.

There is unfortunately grammar. First off, if the main verb is negative, the tag will be positive, and vice versa.

When the main verbs in the sentence is a form of "be" or a modal verb (must, could, would, have, will, can, do etc), he's going to repeat that same form at the end of the sentence. An exception to this is a positive main verb of "I am" in which case the tag will be "aren't I?"

"[You're] Not going back to hell, are you?"

"I wouldn't wanna be dead with anyone else, would I?"

"No, we're not going anywhere, are we?"

"Well, I can't see where you're pointing to, can I?"

"We don't want a repeat of the infamous puppy debacle of '94, do we?"

He uses "innit" a lot less than people think, I think. It took me a while to find examples of him saying this, I ended up having to search a transcript. It follows the same rules as above, except the subject is always a thing, or the pronoun "it," and the main sentence is positive, so that the tag can be the negative "innit" (isn't it). *Edit* "innit" is not used as a question! It's mainly used to reinforce a talking point! (Thank you @elizabear). While the other tags are like rhetorical questions, this one is flat tonally and can end with a period, too.

"Boxing's a gentleman's sport, innit?"

"Magical void, innit?"

"That's the injustice we fight, innit?"

When the verb is not one of those above" he uses a form of "do."

"Well, that sounds a lot like you, doesn't it?"

"Wanna keep things professional, don't I?"

Charles also ends a lot of sentences with just the word "yeah."

"Psychic thing makes case work go a lot faster, yeah?"

I am usamerican, but I have a masters in Linguistics. People who actually use tag questions, though, please add on or correct me!
