Realm of the InterNutter

Thoughts, stories and ideas.

Alien Soap Operas, and the humans who are addicted to them (and the people having to deal with said addicted people)

(#00030)

“…and then Minty was forced to confess her love for Drex'ard'l in front of Jaaj, and th’ puir fella’s been secretly pinin’ for her fer ages.”

Rael looked up from his three-potato mac and cheese omelette. It wasn’t that he and Shayde dined together. It was just that they had similar metabolisms and they both ended up in restaurants that sold unsuitable food. And after that, Shayde generally invited herself to sit and chat with him -or at him- because she didn’t have to stop and explain everything every other sentence.

He didn’t have the courage to tell her it was because he usually didn’t care what she was saying.

“Wait… you’re telling me about the latest episode of All My Daughters?”

“Aye.”

“The only soap opera with a family that encompasses the entirety of the known galaxy.”

“Aye.”

“Some of them don’t even live in compatible environments!”

“Well, aye, it does make family re-unions a bit of a problem, but that’s what Big House Station is for.”

“The chlorine habitat is right next to a UV zone. The science is impossible. The whole idea behind the series is impossible.”

Shayde took up a forkful of something pink, wobbly and swimming in greasy cheese. “And who said I was watchin’ it fer the science?”

Fracture Forty-One: A Little Slice

  The little girl on the television screen would have appeared to have been playing with dolls, if one turned the sound down and ignored some of the positions she used.

  Risty Wilde had her hand over her mouth.

  A curly-haired blinking doll represented Hess. A velociraptor was her, a tyranosaur Kurt, and a small dinosaur in a glass bottle represented the baby that she called ‘brother Michael’. Kitty

Some people really do need thinking-brain dogs.

(#00029)

Rael had seen Augments before. Animals that humans normally called pets were genetically altered to be smarter, more able to do the things that humans did. They rankled him, but they were legal. Most were companions and helpers.

A very rare few were ability aids.

The female pushing the trolley bore no external signs of being less than fully able. Until she spoke.

“I want chocolate milk you’re in the way.” Each word fired out rapidly next

Fracture Forty: Forcing to Remember

  She’d become Risty Wilde to be closer to her children, to try and form some kind of bond between them after years of separation. She and Rogue were becoming fast friends, or at least, she hoped so.

  Kurt was a lot more distant with her. Possibly because he thought she was a norm.

  Sometime after this mess was over, she’d have to ‘develop’ a

On the recent floods

First: Damnit, America! Do something about this climate change before it gets irrevocable on all our arses!

Right. That’s off my chest.

There is little crueler in Australian weather than flooding rain that follows a drought. Any attempt to avert incipient disaster by letting some water out of the dams is greeted with immense hue and cry. Because we’re not sure we’re ever going to get water again.

Then everything gets effed up because the water&

Challenge #00028: Don't You Cry, Baby Mine

The sun shone brightly despite the time of year, but its warm rays brushed uselessly against heavy curtains. Inside the dark room, a father held his baby in his arms and prayed that the child would find peace. (darkfoxglove)

Sergei Darkholme, better known to the world as Azazel, wept for his son. He had his father’s tail and pointed ears. His mother’s blue skin. Less fingers and toes than normal, but he was healthy. Alive.

And stuck like

Fracture Thirty-Nine: Helping to Forget

  They’d told Lance to confess his crime to the police, as it was the only way he could ‘get rid of the guilt’. In the meantime, Jean zapped him into a dreamless sleep - shortly before the Professor gave her a lecture about taking justice into one’s hands and when to tell one was overdoing it.

  Kitty lingered in the medical bay after everyone

The Best Birth Control In The World Is For Men by Jon Clinkenbeard

If I were going to describe the perfect contraceptive, it would go something like this: no babies, no latex, no daily pill to remember, no hormones to interfere with mood or sex drive, no negative health effects whatsoever, and 100 percent effectiveness. The funny thing is, something like that currently exists.

The procedure called RISUG in India (reversible inhibition of sperm under guidance) takes about 15 minutes

“One! Two! Three! Four! No more beating on Igor!”

Mad Doctor Snapcase stared in confusion at the brown-robed hunchbacks below. How could they do this to him? He needed them for… for…

For everything.

Igors did everything he didn’t want to do. They took in the mail, they took out the trash, they took in the laundry, they took everything. Including the blame.

No roars of “Minion!” could bring him a handy target

Fracture Thirty-Eight: Adjusting

  Tom thought he’d panicked when he found out Kitty was a mutant. Staying in a whole school full of them was just constant terror. Every time he turned around, someone was doing something bizarre and unearthly. Sure, he’d got used to Bluebelle and Kurt through near-constant exposure, but the others just unnerved him.

  They pulled *stunts* with their powers. Like Bobby icing over an entire room so the

Weather report from the wilds of Burpengary East

(Yeah, we had a bit of a name change) The wind is up, the electricity is off, and it’s still raining.

Our yard has the creek in it again but the good news is, no trees are down.

I’m typing this on my phone, which is a pain in the arse. Which is why there might not be an instant story, today. My sincere apologies to all.

Odd things found in ethnic grocery stores.

FYI - I’m still OK in the middle of the superstorm hitting East Australia right now. Hatches battened down well.

“…don’t know why I keep getting dragged into this…” mumbled Rael.

“I cannae resist the melodious sound of yer bitchin’,” said Shayde. She had a hessian shopping bag and was currently picking through sunglasses. Looking for some that fit her huge, bioluminescent eyes. She found a pair in a violent

“Judgments”

I took this last year, but in retrospect, I think it’s my strongest piece from high school.

Working on this project really made me examine my own opinions, preconceptions and prejudices about “slutty” women and women who choose to cover all of their skin alike. I used to assume that all women who wore Hijabs were being oppressed, slut-shame, and look down on and judge any woman who didn’t express her sexuality in a way that I found
