kittydesadeI've developed a sort of Michael Eklund crush almost overnight. It's all Bobo del Ray's fault. (Wynonna Earp, for those of you who don't watch and are going "who?") And the fact that I went back over his IMDB because I knew he was in the Blood Ties show from a while back and discovered he was in every other Canadian production I've ever damn seen and promptly flipped out a bit. And then I watched a couple of them and flipped out even more. The man is very good at changing both his form and body and posture and attitude and voice to match a character and it's freaking me out. And contributing to the crush because I have a competence kink.
I made my writing schedule for August, I'm hoping it's at all realistic because of DragonCon, and I posted it on my Patreon. I don't know how to feel about this or what I'm doing. Especially regarding Long Road, which I'm at least on my fourth or fifth draft of right now and I have no idea what to do with it and am freaking a little bit out. I guess the first part is to make notes on characters, timeline, and reference books? That'd be a place to start. Also slightly freaking out about Patreon, but I guess since everyone's on the first tier except one they all know what they're getting into and it's fine? I guess?
(Brain: EKLUND EKLUND EKLUND
Me: SHUT UP OH MY GOD.)
I also have no idea what I'm doing for DragonCon as far as panels go, so that's a fun source of not so much stress I guess? as wariness. Most of the shows I signed up for are ones I've already been watching and have many notes on and some aren't aired yet so, heh, can't watch those yet! I think those are the ones most worrying me, except eh, as long as I take notes the first time I watch it. Because it's usually the first few times around that power the AND THIS AND THIS LINE REFERENCE AND SHE SAID THIS SO IT'S TOTALLY A REFERENCE TO THAT and so on and so forth.
And day job dropped a ginormous wholesale order on me yay. So I guess I can think about things but not necessarily work on them. Actually that might be a good time to think about the stupid actor until my brain shuts up. But ugh. But okay, I can finish my salad and work on the outline some more while I pick almonds out of my teeth, then do the thing, then do some reading over. Reading over this ten fifteen something year old story ahhaahhahah oh god.

Me: SHUT UUUUUUUUUP.
Norman. He was Norman in Blood Ties for those of you who watched it then. And now he's Bobo del Ray. My brain still hasn't recovered.)

Date: 2017-08-02 02:07 pm (UTC)I went back and watched three shows that he'd been in, Blood Ties and Alcatraz and Wynonna Earp. And he was a bad guy/profoundly creepy in all of them. Not helping.
(Although have you caught up on Wynonna Earp? BECAUSE SUDDENLY ABRUPT CHARACTER CHANGE WTF.)
Anyway Here is the episode I watched with him in it. I really need to try and find anything where Eklund's playing a generally nice, decent, normal person. Because so far it's Nice Guy (tm) who got sent to hell and turned into a demon, serial killer, and other guy who got sent to hell and turned into a demon.
tablet comment ahead
