WHY SO PIZZA?

Hi, I'm canolacrush, but for the sake of simplicity you can call me CC or Canola. Been alive longer than cell phones. Things I like: quirky murder mysteries of many sorts (ace attorney is my main atm), cats, languages, silhouette art, and pizza. If you're looking for my fanfic, it can be found here.

Canola’s Top 5 Fics

If you managed to find your way here despite my lack of appearing in the tumblr search and tags, congratulations!  Pretend like you’ve found a Shiny Pokemon or something.  I futz around here most of the time, but I’m also a fic writer.  If you wanna see all those fics, they’re up on AO3, but these are my personal top 5 favourites that I’ve written:

1. Chicago Noël - It’s the one I’ve spent the most time working on and am proudest of so far! If you like long slow burns, ace attorney AUs, romcoms and dramatic intrigue, you’ll probably like this one. It’s a mafia/baker historical noir AU where a high-ranking mafia member (Miles Edgeworth) meet-uglies a newly arrived baker (Phoenix Wright) and then gets mysteriously captivated while trying to figure out what the hell this random man is trying to hide.

2. Keeping All My Secrets Safe (Nobody Does It Better) - Smaller fandom with a not-as-well-known pairing, but you know what, if you like the basic premise of Bigfoot and an FBI agent falling in love in non-chronological order, you might like this one anyway. I find myself rereading this one often, since it’s a quick 25k.

3. Out of Order - It’s my most kudosed fic for a reason. ^^; Ace Attorney narumitsu fic in the canon universe that’s frankly just a bit silly, fun, and sweet. Basic premise: Miles gets a haircut and Nick loses his goddamn mind trying to cope with it, lol.

4. Remapping the Stars - a post-canon Magnus Archives fic featuring The Girls adjusting to life in the post-apocalypse. It’s short, moody, maybe a bit atmospheric, but I don’t know, something about it just hits something for me that I felt was missing in the end of the series.  I’m still quite fond of this one.

5. Mark of the Addict - ehhh...well...To be quite honest, I don’t recommend most people read this one, primarily because it comes with a huge laundry list of trigger warnings and it’s the darkest fic I’ve ever written.  All that said, I’m still proud of it, since in my opinion it’s still an entertaining horror novella; it’s just, if you do choose to read it, read all the tags and know what you’re getting into beforehand before deciding if it’s for you.  It’s not gonna be for everyone, and that’s okay.  But anyway, it’s a Dracula fic that’s based on a mixed canon of the Hammer movies and also the original novel.

by far the most surprising thing about season 3 of Moominvalley for me is that every now and then I go "are Moominmamma and Stinky having an affair???" with mounting horror and intrigued dread. it's so awful. it's like if a Worse version of Larry Butz and an infinitely Better version of Misty Fey were having an affair. "Moominmamma you're badder than a line of zeroes" (<--actual line, spoken Fondly) Moominvalley don't do this to me. Don't make me ship it I feel like ants are crawling on me.

#i hate it i hate it i hate it#like I KNOW I KNOOOOWWWW it's not gonna ever happen and that brings me peace and relief but like#why do they keep building it like this#''we have to keep this between you and me'' I'm gonna throw up#moomin#moominvalley#he painted her portrait and left it as a thank you gift.........#moominvalley don't do this to me

Ok, so I use Em Carroll's His Face All Red to begin the horror unit in my graphic narrative course and today I had a student provide my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE TAKE on the comic.

They were like, "This isn't scary at all. It's a perfectly logical set of events."

And the class was like...what?

And they were like, "Clearly, the weaker younger brother didn't actually kill the stronger older brother. He bashed him in the head with a rock and, head wounds bleed a ton, so he thought he'd killed him, but he'd only stunned him. Older brother wakes up, climbs out of the hole, notices his coat is missing a giant chunk, and has a pretty good idea of what younger brother is going to do. SO he orders himself a new coat, has it delivered to a nearby village, waits two days for Amazon prime to show up with it, and then walks back to his home village on day 3 having decided to drive his brother absolutely insane in revenge. And then for the next several days he plays along with his brother's story and digs a hole next to his brother's house, except he doesn't stop there, he digs a tunnel that reaches back to the hole in the woods connecting the two. Because he knows that his brother is going to freak out at some point and go back to check if the body is still here. And when he sees his brother heading off into the woods one night, he hops into the farmhouse-hole and takes the short-cut tunnel to the forest-hole and puts on his old coat and rubs some sheep's blood on his face so that when his brother shows up he can roll over and be like 'whattup' so he'll lose his damn mind."

And then multiple other people in the class were like, "actually, yeah, if my sibling tried to kill me that's exactly how I'd handle it."

[ID a eight-part Ace Attorney gifset, showing scenes from the Ace Attorney anime’s adaptions of AA1 and AA2′s cases and put in the order they are sequentially shown in the games. Each gif shows six scenes from the anime’s adaption and each gif is colored a specific color, as well as having text on it that reads the case’s title. /End ID]

Suddenly struck with a need to explain to you how boat pronouns work (I work in the marine industry).

When you're talking about the design of the boat, you say "it".

When the boat is still being built, your say "it".

When the boat is nearing completion, you can say "it" or "she".

When the boat is floating in the water you probably say "she", unless there is still a lot of work to be done (e.g. no engine yet) then you say "it".

When the boat is officially launched and operating, you say "she". If you continue to say "it" at this point you are not incorrect but suspiciously untraditional. You are not playing the game.

If you are referring to a boat you don't really know anything about you may say "it" ("there's a big boat, it's coming this way"). But if you know its name, it's probably "she" ("there's the Waverley, she's on her way to Greenock").

If you are talking about boats in general, you say "it" ("when a boat is hit by a wave it heels over")

If you speak about a boat in complimentary terms, it's "she" ("she's a grand boat"). If you are being disparaging it may be it, but not necessarily ("it's as ugly as sin", "she's a grotty old tub").

If she has a boy's name, she's still she. "Boy James", "King Edward", "Sir David Attenborough"? The pronoun is she.

If it's a dumb barge (no engine), you say it. But if it's a rowing boat (no engine), you say she.

I hope this has cleared things up so that you may not be in danger of misgendering floating objects.
